The prince is hard to serve

"Lord Li is so confident now, he doesn't appear to be afraid at all, but he thinks Duke Mu and Concubine Liang will rescue you?"

After Yan Wenhao's words fell, Li Zezhang's face turned pale, his eyebrows twitched suddenly, but soon his face became cold again, and he lowered his head, ignoring Yan Wenhao.

Seeing that Li Zezhang was completely unwilling to pay attention to him, Yan Wenhao just smiled, but he didn't mean to stop at all. He took another step forward and stood against the prison door. He blinked and spoke calmly. Slowly said: "Perhaps, you don't know yet, Duke Mu has already given up on you, and together with him, he has also given up on my extremely stupid fifth emperor brother, and devoted himself to assisting Duke Huai."

"However, Concubine Liang and Fifth Emperor Brother tried their best to save you, but unfortunately, both of them believed in the wrong person."

Taking a pitiful glance at Li Zezhang, who had lost all his arrogance at the moment, Yan Wenhao shook his head, sighed with emotion, and said, "Concubine Liang thought that Duke Mu would always be your father-in-law, and she wouldn't see you really suffer death. I tried every means to rescue you, but never thought that Mu Guogong had already colluded with Duke Huai and was going to abandon you as an abandoned son."

Li Zezhang clasped his hands tightly, biting the upper and lower rows of teeth tightly, with an extremely terrifying expression: "Shut up, don't talk nonsense!"

"Master Li doesn't want to hear it, or is he afraid to listen?"

Glancing at Li Zezhang, Yan Wenhao sneered, and said sarcastically, "Master Li thinks that Lord Mu will miss his old relationship and give up everything to save you?"

"..."

His eyes moved slightly, but Li Zezhang's face was still calm. No matter what Yan Wenhao said, he was not moved at all, and kept his lips tightly pressed all the time, without saying a word.

——He still persisted in his heart, believing that Duke Mu and Concubine Liang would rescue him, and that he would be able to get out of this prison in a short time.

However, how could Yan Wenhao not understand Li Zezhang's thoughts?

He chuckled lightly, and sighed, "Lord Li is really the one who doesn't turn back if he hits the south wall."

After finishing speaking, Yan Wenhao lowered his head, slowly took out a few letters from his sleeve, a total of five, and handed them to Li Zezhang with squinted eyes: "I wonder if Mr. Li is interested in reading these letters?"

Hearing this, Li Zezhang raised his head. He tightened his face, frowned, hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't resist the skeptical thought in his heart, so he stretched out his hand and took the letters from Yan Wenhao's hand.

Watching him take the letter, Yan Wenhao curled his lips in satisfaction, and a triumphant smile flashed in his eyes.

Of these five letters, two of them were letters between Li Zezhang's wife and Duke Mu, while the other three were letters between King Huai and Duke Mu.

Mrs. Li's first letter was a request for help.

After Li Zezhang was imprisoned, Mrs. Li, who had always been calm, was also a little flustered. She immediately went to Mu Guogong for help, but because she was a female family member, and at this time, it was naturally not good for her to come to the door in person, otherwise she would lose the conversation , so I had to drag someone down to send the letter, but Mu Guogong's reply to her was very ruthless.

The reply on the letter was only four words, and there was nothing he could do.

Mu Guogong's reason is very good. Li Zezhang's crime is well-documented, and it happened to coincide with Emperor Yan's wholehearted desire to rectify the atmosphere of the autumn test. When such a case occurs, it will naturally be screwed out and used as a model, to kill chickens and monkeys. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty saw it, and they also made it for the people of the world to see.

If you want to save Li Zezhang, you have to overthrow the evidence listed by Lu Yanming. The most difficult thing is that Zheng Yuan is not dead. His existence is directly the biggest evidence that is difficult to overturn, unless there is a way to prove that he Not Zheng Yuan himself.

But Emperor Yan had already ordered people to check it, so there was no doubt that he was Zheng Yuan himself.

Therefore, Li Zezhang can't be saved, and he can't be saved. If he really goes to save him, there will be no other benefits except for his own worth and life.

Even though Li Zezhang is his son-in-law, it is impossible for him to give up the wealth and status he has only exchanged for many years for Li Zezhang.

It's not worth it.

What's more, the future that Duke Huai promised and promised to him was too good, so good that he was willing to give up everything and follow in the footsteps of Duke Huai.

But Li Zezhang and Yan Wenzhi have now become stumbling blocks on their way forward.

After receiving his father's reply, Mrs. Li is so smart. After thinking about it carefully, she suddenly understood that she has been married to Li's family for many years, and she has nothing but the status of a principal wife. Li Zezhang doesn't love her at all. After her daughter was born, she didn't even want to see her again, but took concubines from house to house, which broke her heart.

There was no love in the first place, and her heart was already as hard as a rock. Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, Mrs. Li made a decision——

She wants to make peace with Li Zezhang.

She has no nostalgia for the Li family, and she will not be willing to stay and be implicated innocently.

Therefore, this second letter was written and signed by He Li.

The two letters from Mrs. Li were stolen by Yan Wenhao who asked Xie Jingyu to go to the Li Mansion overnight. As for the next three letters, they were handed over to him by An Si on behalf of An Yi.

The content of these five letters, between the lines, without exception, is that Mu Guogong expressed his intention to give up Li Zezhang. Putting them together is the most conclusive evidence. No matter how Li Zezhang wants to make excuses for Mu Guogong, powerless.

After reading all the letters, Li Zezhang's eyes were shattered. He stood up abruptly, rushed to Yan Wenhao with a brisk step, stretched out his hand, and wanted to grab Yan Wenhao, but Yan Wenhao lightly dodged it. dodged.

"These letters are all forged by you, right!"

He was insanely crazy, his eyes were breathing fire, and his hands were separated by the door, desperately trying to reach Yan Wenhao, but the prison door was firmly blocked between him and Yan Wenhao, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't touch it. To Yan Wenhao.

Yan Wenhao bent down, put away the scattered letters on the ground, and put them back into his sleeves, then he raised his eyes, smiled slightly, and asked, "Isn't Master Li the one who is most familiar with Mu Guogong and Mrs. Zun?" Handwriting?"

Hearing this, Li Zezhang was dripping with cold sweat and fell to the ground in an instant. His complexion was extremely pale, and the chill in his heart was even deeper. There were only bursts of despair, and he could no longer remain calm.

"Master Li, until now, are you going to continue to hide it for Duke Mu and Duke Huai?"

Lifting the hem of his clothes, Yan Wenhao squatted in front of him, looked at him with deep eyes, and slowly said word by word: "Could it be that Mr. Li really wants to go to prison by himself, but sees the man who will do nothing to save you?" Are they enjoying their blessings and living a very comfortable life?"

Yan Wenhao's tone was very slow and light, as if hinting at Li Zezhang. At this moment, he was arousing the anger in Li Zezhang's heart little by little, so as to finally achieve the final result he wanted.

"You..." Li Zezhang opened his mouth with a twinkle in his eyes, but after saying a word, he didn't continue.

Yan Wenhao was not in a hurry, still unhurried, he squinted his eyes, pondered for a while, opened his mouth, and said another news that was enough to completely collapse Li Zezhang's defense line.

"Do you know whose bloodline my Fifth Emperor Brother really is?" Before Li Zezhang could respond, Yan Wenhao continued on his own: "He was born of Concubine Liang's affair with Duke Huai. It is the son of Duke Huai, not the blood of the father!"

"impossible--"

Raising his head, Li Zezhang subconsciously refuted Yan Wenhao's words, and he said loudly: "Wen Zhi is His Majesty's blood, there is no doubt about it, don't talk nonsense, and damage the reputation of the good concubine!"

Li Zezhang really didn't know anything about this matter.

Back then, Concubine Liang had a private meeting with Duke Huai in the palace. Both of them were grown men and women, so naturally they wouldn't just be in love and just polite. After that, Emperor Yan was lucky enough to visit her again, which enabled her to hide it smoothly.

Because Yan Wenzhi is Prince Huai's child, Concubine Liang dotes on him so much, and it's all because she loves Prince Huai, from beginning to end, she only loves him alone.

The reason why she was willing to enter the palace at the beginning was because she was willing to become Duke Huai's eyeliner, in order to pass on information for Duke Huai.

Concubine Liang never mentioned all of this to anyone from the beginning to the end. It was only when Yan Wenzhi grew older and became more like King Huai that she began to tremble with fear. After thinking about it for a long time, she finally told this matter. Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li told Mu Guogong in turn.

This was also the reason why Duke Mu colluded with Duke Huai at the beginning.

Looking at Li Zezhang, who was using his voice to hide his panic, Yan Wenhao couldn't help sneering, and then said indifferently: "If it weren't for the fact, why would I frame them so badly?" A matter of family face.

Raising his head, when he met Yan Wenhao's penetrating eyes, Li Zezhang had already believed six points of these words in his heart. He had always felt that Yan Wenzhi really didn't look like Emperor Yan. Like Duke Huai, but he never thought in this direction, he only thought it was because Emperor Yan and Duke Huai were brothers.

The blood on his face faded, and his eyes looked extremely dull. The sweat all over Li Zezhang's body was wet and then dry, and after drying, he was wet again with sweat. After repeating this several times, he finally responded. He lowered his head and whispered Said: "What do you want me to do?"

He knew that when Yan Wenhao told him about this matter, he didn't just tell him that simple, more, there was a threat.

If Emperor Yan finds out about this matter, when the emperor gets angry, millions of corpses will be buried. Not only Concubine Liang will die, Yan Wenzhi will die, but even the entire Li family and anyone who knows about it will be hard to save their lives. .

Seeing that Li Zezhang finally compromised, Yan Wenhao smiled slightly, and he said lightly: "I want you to write a confession letter to the emperor personally, explaining how you and Mu Guogong embezzled the salary of the Northwest Army, and how you blamed it on Feng Chu Yes, I have made it very clear with my father, without any regrets."

At this time, Yan Wenhao had already stood up, straightened his clothes, then looked down at Li Zezhang from a high position, his tone was soft and gentle, but the words he said were icy cold.

"I also want you to bow your head and plead guilty, and tell all the things you have committed, and all the people who are related to the case will also be confessed."

Hearing this, Li Zezhang said angrily: "It's impossible, I won't promise you!" He still doesn't want to die, as long as he doesn't plead guilty, he can live and have a chance of survival. How could he plead guilty and surrender his life? !

In an instant, Yan Wenhao's eyes became very deep, like a bottomless cold pool, and he said in a light tone: "I remember, there are two side wives and four concubines in Mrs. Li's house, They all gave birth to children for you, your favorite concubine seems to have just given birth to a child for you, and it is less than three months old..."

"enough--"

After making a hasty sound, Li Zezhang stopped talking. He seemed to have been completely crushed, and his whole body leaned against the door railing weakly, keeping his head down.

After being silent for about a stick of incense, he finally opened his chapped lips, "Stop talking, I will agree to whatever you say, no matter what, I will agree..."
