Father can be an enemy to the country

As soon as he heard what he said, Shen Liben no longer cared about the previous problem...

When there was no one else in the hall, Shen Liben said in a deep voice: "Go ahead."

"One of the three people captured by Zeng Tai was the spy who was placed next to Liu Lian by the lower official. He also dragged a long-term follower of Liu Lian named Liu Kong into the water." Xiong Qitai was confused first. , contradicting himself before saying:

"It was the two of him who killed Liu Lian together."

"Didn't you say that you arranged for a killer to sneak in, kill people, and run away without anyone noticing?!" Shen Liben was so angry that he kicked him and said, "Do you have a damn truth?"

"Really? Did I say that?" Xiong Qitai dodges and changes the topic: "This is not the point. Sir, the point is that Liu Kong reported that King Chu is here!"

"What kind of chef king is here?" Shen Liben was stunned and said: "Where did you hire the famous chef? How dare a mere chef become the king?"

"It's the King of Chu! Not the King of Cooks. The sixth son of the current emperor, the only twin princes of the Ming Dynasty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu and King Hai, Zhu Zhen!" Xiong Qitai's voice changed.

With so many people coming all at once, how could he not be afraid?

"You're farting. King Chu is defending Marquis Nan'an on Chongming Island! It's true that he is a double prince, and he doesn't know the art of clones!" Shen Liben's first reaction was disbelief.

"It's true, Liu Kong reported that the day after the adults went to express condolences, he also appeared at Liu Shenzheng's house, and brought Liu Shenzheng's daughter to mourn his father." Xiong Qitai's teeth rattled involuntarily. :

"It sounds incredible, but the King of Chu was Liu Bowen's student. He came to his house for class the next day. Liu Kong didn't know how many times he had seen him. How could he admit his mistake? And Liu Jing was also here, so there was no way he could not Do you know King Chu?"

"You also know that he is Liu Bowen's student, then why do you want to attack Liu Lian?!" Shen Liben overturned the table and roared with red eyes: "Now, let's attract that murderer here Now, just wait until the whole family is dead!"

"I thought I could do it perfectly and confirm the conclusion that Liu Lian fell into a well after drinking and died accidentally, but I didn't expect that I could actually recruit His Highness the King of Chu." Xiong Qitai said with a tearful voice: "Sir, tell me this It’s too late, what should we do?”

"It's not us, it's you!" Shen Liben made a very realistic choice and drew a clear line with this guy: "You did the whole thing. It has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Hu! I have never let you harm me. Liu Lian’s life is not as good as that of Hu Xiang!”

As he spoke, he threatened in a tacky way: "If you don't drag us into the water, we can still try to save your family. Otherwise, the most we can do is dismiss you from office, but your whole family will be killed!"

"Sir, Shen Butang, you have a good idea." Xiong Qitai smiled bitterly, no longer groveling, straightened up and said: "We are grasshoppers on the same rope, and it is impossible for you to stay out of it now. "

"Are you threatening me?" Shen Liben pulled his face and said viciously.

"No, I am just stating a fact." Xiong Qitai's tone became more and more calm, but his words became more and more thrilling: "Don't you keep asking me why you want to kill Liu Lian? I do have something hidden... "

"I knew it." Shen Liben said bitterly: "You are not the kind of person who would die for your boss at all. You can only do it for yourself!"

"That's right, although I have always had conflicts with Liu Lian before, it was just a matter of official business. I never thought of killing him." Xiong Qitai said slowly:

"Moreover, both the black and white people in Jiangxi Province belong to me. I have many ways to defeat him. There is no need to resort to such extreme tactics... In fact, for an official with such a noble family background and the emperor's heart, it is a pity for him to come down." He's golden. Even if I can't make friends with him, I'm not willing to offend him to death, let alone let him die."

"Then why do you still do that?!" Shen Liben growled in a low voice: "Tell the important point!"

"Because some people are meddlesome, one of my prosecuting officers didn't know where the sense of justice came from, but he still wanted to climb high. Seeing that he was suffering under my hands, he secretly gave him the fatal book." Xiong Qitai whispered.

"Is it the "Ignore the Account Book"?" Shen Liben was struck by lightning and recovered immediately.

"What else could it be?" Xiong Qitai nodded dejectedly.

"How could you let someone steal such a deadly thing?!" Shen Liben grabbed Xiong Qitai's collar and roared as if he wanted to eat someone: "What did I say when I gave it to you? It's better than yours." Life is still important! Even if you die, you must destroy it first and then die!"

"The official has been keeping it in a secret room, but it has to be taken out every year, right? In order to prevent leaks, I always use the most trusted people to check the accounts, and I personally guard them and never let them go out with any scraps of paper or ink. Xiong Qitai lamented:

"Who would have thought that someone would have a photographic memory and spend several years secretly writing down the entire account book... Oh, I never expected it."

"Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?!" Shen Liben asked sternly.

"Do I dare to say it?" Xiong Qitai said with a bitter smile: "Once I tell you, you will definitely let me take the blame, force me to commit suicide, and put all the responsibilities on me."

"You..." Shen Li said in his heart that he was pretty accurate at reading people. He looked at Xiong Qitai with twinkling eyes, thinking that it was not too late to throw the blame.

"Sir, just give up on that." Xiong Qitai smiled bitterly and said, "I still have a secret I haven't told you."

"Fuck..." Shen Liben didn't even have the energy to scold his mother. He had really convinced Xiong Qitai. Did he tell the truth?

"I sent the Ganjiang Gang to intercept and kill King Chu. In fact, only one of the two guards died. The other one was injured and fell into the water with the thing. Because it was dark at the time, he could not be found. But in the following month, I mobilized all my strength and searched the lower reaches of the Ganjiang River, but I couldn't find his body." Xiong Qitai said as if he had too many lice to bite him:

"Moreover, someone found blood stains and footprints on the riverside...so the possibility of him being rescued is very high."

"Okay, very good, very good..." Shen Liben slumped back on his chair and gave a thumbs up to Xiong Qitai: "I admire you. It's really a miracle that you can live this long."

"Your Excellency, you are ridiculous." Xiong Qitai said sarcastically.

"..." Shen Liben stared at him for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard.

"Sir, don't be like this, sir." Xiong Qitai quickly stopped him.

"You don't have to persuade me. If I choose someone like you to take over, it would be easy for me to beat myself to death!" Shen Liben slapped him several times in a row, causing half of his face to turn blue.

Xiong Qitai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that this was a sign of Shen Liben's acceptance of reality.
