Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Or you give me an army, and I'll go and raze his mansion to the ground. "

Zhao Kuo glared at Li Mu and said, "It's just nonsense, you just stay with me, and when you are needed, you will naturally have a place for you."

Li Mu stuck out his tongue and closed his mouth in embarrassment.

Zhao Kuo glanced at the few confidantes in front of him, and his eyes finally fell on Li Si.

"Li Si, this time, you and Han Fei will be responsible for the specific handling of this case. We must make this case an iron case so that no one can see that we have tampered with it. You two can handle it. Do that?"

Li Si couldn't wait a long time ago, and immediately said after hearing the words: "Please rest assured, my lord, I will definitely handle this matter properly, and it is absolutely impossible for anyone to see it."

As far as Li Si was concerned, he had just been messed with by Lord Pingyang not long ago and lost his official title as the sheriff of Donghu County. He didn't expect the opportunity of revenge to come so soon, so Li Si was naturally overjoyed.

Zhao Kuo nodded and said to Li Si: "Then let's do it well."

At this moment, Zhao Kuo's tone was very calm.

In Zhao Kuo's view, although defeating Lord Pingyang was indeed a victory, it was still far inferior to Lord Pingyuan or Lin Xiangru in terms of thrilling level.

To some extent, this may also be a kind of growth for Zhao Kuo.

Chapter 879 Is Mr. Pingyang going to escape?

With Zhao Wang's order, many things immediately became very simple.

Zhao Kuo and Zhou Shaofen quickly led people to surround Pingyang Jun's house, and issued an order: "Everyone who dares to leave without permission will be killed without mercy!"

Later, Zhao Kuo and Zhou Shaofen captured all Pingyang Jun's confidantes and brought them back to Handan Prison.

The next step is to go through the process-like torture.

Although Zhao Kuo has been in this world for many years, it is true that he rarely observes such scenes of severe punishment up close.

What does it feel like?

To put it simply, even a person like Zhao Kuo, who has long been used to death, still feels very uncomfortable seeing this situation.

In Handan Prison, there are such a group of people who are responsible for torture. Their psychology is very twisted, and they even take pleasure in cruelly torturing others.

Especially when those high-ranking big shots fell into their hands, they seemed to be hungry wolves who smelled fishy, ​​and they were able to reach the highest point of emotion in an instant.

Anyone who becomes the torture target of these guys will definitely never forget it.

Finally, the screams stopped.

Zhou Shaofen, who was sitting beside Zhao Kuo, said slowly, "Are you recruiting or not?"

Jun Pingyang's confidant, who was tied to the instrument of torture, made an extremely weak voice: "Trick, I... I'll do it all."

While speaking, the corner of the confidant's mouth was still overflowing with blood.

Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and suddenly felt a chill down his back.

In any case, Zhao Kuo definitely didn't want to experience this time in his life.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Shaofen looked at the confession in front of him, with a surprised expression on his face: "Mr. Wu Xin, I didn't expect that Mr. Pingyang would have such an operation."

Zhao Kuo also widened his eyes slightly, a little speechless.

This Lord Pingyang is really... stupid enough.

Zhao Kuo said indifferently: "Zhou Qing, it's almost time to turn to the king."

Zhou Shaofen hesitated: "If it's just this, isn't the evidence insufficient?"

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and said: "Don't forget, there are still people in the court who can't wait to exonerate Lord Pingyang. If the king doesn't nod after all the evidence is conclusive, then our work is still the same." It's all in vain."

This sentence directly reminded Zhou Shaofen.

To put it bluntly, is Mr. Pingyang guilty?

Have.

Damn it?

Should.

But the problem is that it is not the crime that can really determine the life and death of Lord Pingyang, but the will of King Zhao!Once King Zhao changed his mind... Zhou Shaofen shuddered and stood up directly: "Then what are you waiting for?

Let's enter the palace now! "

After finishing speaking, Zhou Shaofen directly reached out, picked up the thick stack of confessions on the table, and entered the palace with Zhao Kuo in a carriage.

On the carriage, Zhao Kuo suddenly smiled, and said to Zhou Shaofen: "Zhou Qing, in fact, what you said before was correct. If you rely on these crimes alone, it is hard to say whether you can execute Pingyang Lord."

Zhou Shaofen was stunned, and said, "Then what should we do?"

Zhao Kuo looked at Zhou Shaofen and said calmly, "So, we should add a little bit of material to these confessions."

Zhou Shaofen listened, first surprised, then overjoyed.

"Wu Xinjun, you really deserve to be you!"

In the court, Concubine Li was holding King Zhao's hand, shaking it from side to side.

"Your Majesty, just listen to my concubine once~~" Concubine Li's voice was coquettish, and her coquettish behavior really made it very difficult for King Zhao to resist.

King Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "My concubine, it's not that the widow doesn't want to help you, but that Lord Pingyang actually went to poison the king this time, and now the whole Da Zhao knows, how do you think the widow can forgive his crime? "

Concubine Li snorted, and said: "Mr. Pingyang is not a fool, how could anyone poison someone's birthday present directly on their birthday?

Let me tell you, it must be that Zhao Kuo, who colluded with some women's natal family and wanted to frame Pingyang Jun! "

Zhao Wang was a little helpless, and said: "Zhou Shaofen and Zhou Shaoliang brothers have always been Wu Xinjun's political enemies, and even the Zhou brothers were allies of Pingyang Lord not long ago.

Tell me, how could the Zhou brothers like this join hands with Lord Wu Xin to blame Lord Pingyang? "

Concubine Li said: "They are politicians, how can you believe what politicians say?

Maybe they have already colluded secretly, just keeping the king and Zhao Guo up and down! "

Zhao Wang couldn't help laughing, shaking his head again and again.

Finally, Concubine Li finally made a big move: "Your Majesty, I don't care about you anyway, and I managed to find a backer for our son outside the palace, but now this backer will be killed immediately.

Tell me, what will happen to the concubine and his son in the future when Zhao Kuo and Zhou Shaofen control the foreign court?

When you go, my lord, we orphans and widows will definitely be bullied to death by others.

Otherwise, when your Majesty is gone, our mother and I will be buried together with you! "

As she spoke, Concubine Li burst into tears.

Tears are a woman's best weapon against a man, and this applies to any man.

Looking at Concubine Li with pear blossoms and rain, Zhao Wang was dumbfounded.

You must know that other women are carefully serving in front of King Zhao, how dare they lose their temper at King Zhao?

So instead, it was a woman like Concubine Li who gave King Zhao a feeling that other women could not give at all.

After a long while, King Zhao said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I will promise you this time and pardon Lord Pingyang.

But you have to remember, it’s not an example! "

When Concubine Li heard this, she burst into tears and laughed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

At this moment, Eunuch Ling hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Wu Xin and Zhou Qing have something important to see!"

King Zhao nodded slightly, and said: "Alright, the widow just happened to be looking for them, let them go to the side hall."

After a while, in the side hall, the three monarchs and ministers met.

Zhou Shaofen took out the confession and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, these are the things that I have been interrogating for the past few days. Please check it out."

King Zhao didn't even look at these confessions, so he pushed them aside casually, and said, "You two lovers, I have also thought about this matter, I think that Lord Pingyang has made a lot of contributions to Da Zhao after all. , or else... this matter will stop here."

After Zhao Wang's voice fell, Zhou Shaofen's heart immediately sank.

The matter was really hit by Zhao Kuo, Zhao Wang's expression was obviously moved by Concubine Li, and he wanted to save Pingyang Jun's life!But things have come to this point, if Lord Pingyang escapes, then Lord Pingyang's revenge will inevitably come more fiercely in the future.

Zhou Shaofen took a deep breath and subconsciously glanced at Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo was very indifferent and calm.

Zhou Shaofen couldn't help feeling a little admiration for Zhao Kuo.

As expected, he is worthy of being Lord Wu Xin, who was able to be so calm even though his mortal enemy was about to escape.

Zhao Kuo's composure actually gave Zhou Shaofen a lot of confidence.

Since this is the case, then follow Wu Xinjun's words!

Chapter 880 Conclusive Evidence

Zhou Shaofen knew very well that what he said next was very crucial.

It is related to whether Pingyang Jun can die!So before speaking, Zhou Shaofen quietly took two deep breaths.

Then he spoke.

"Your Majesty, you might as well take a look at the confession at the top. If you still don't change your mind after reading it, then I will listen to your Majesty's opinion."

After hearing this, King Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

It seems that Zhou Shaofen is quite sensible this week, as soon as the widow opened his mouth, he immediately obeyed.

Yes, it is worthy of being promoted by the widow.

In this case, the widow will give Zhou Shaofen a face and read this memorial.

With such a mood, Zhao Wang picked up the confession that Zhou Shaofen said at the top.

The confession was obviously written not long ago, and the ink was still not dry in some places.

Looking at it, Zhao Wang's face suddenly froze.

After a few seconds, King Zhao suddenly raised his head and said to Zhou Shaofen, "Is it the truth?"

Zhou Shaofen said respectfully: "It is absolutely true, and all the officials present at that time can testify."

King Zhao looked at Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo nodded and said calmly, "I can also testify."

After receiving this testimony from Zhao Kuo, Zhao Wang's heart suddenly set off a storm.

It's not that King Zhao's state of mind is not calm enough, it's that what he said above is too shocking!According to the description of this confession, Mr. Pingyang has actually always had an objection in his heart.

Why do you object?

It's very simple, Lord Pingyang's desire for the throne!As the son of King Zhao Wuling and the younger brother of King Zhao Huiwen, Lord Pingyang Zhao Bao is indeed qualified to be the king, but he was not chosen.

It's just that before this, Pingyang Jun couldn't express this resentment in his heart, because there was another elder brother, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, who was still alive.

But two years ago, Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng was killed by Pingyang Lord, Zhao Wang, Zhao Kuo and others.

After Mr. Pingyuan was gone, Mr. Pingyang was suddenly ready to move.

Lord Pingyang felt that King Zhao was too young to preside over the overall situation.

So Pingyang Jun began to discuss secretly with his sons and confidants, wanting to seize the throne!Murdering the eldest prince is only the first step of Lord Pingyang's plan.

Next, Lord Pingyang wanted to murder the second prince, who was the son Concubine Li had just given birth to.

In Pingyang Jun's vision, two sons died one after another, and King Zhao must be devastated.

At this time, Lord Pingyang will continue to murder King Zhao himself!In this way, people in the world can feel that King Zhao died of a heart attack because of the successive deaths of two children, unable to restrain the grief in his heart.

Once King Zhao died, Zhao would have no legal heir to the throne, so he had to find a new one from the royal family.

At this time, Lord Pingyang, as the most prestigious of the King Zhao's family, was also the son of the famous King Wuling of Zhao, so he could naturally ascend to the throne of Zhao State as a matter of course.

This is the confession interrogated by Zhou Shaofen and Zhao Kuo. The most important thing is that the person who made the confession is Lord Pingyang's eldest son, who is also the future successor of Lord Pingyang!With a bang, King Zhao slammed his fist directly on the table, gnashing his teeth: "This is Lord Pingyang, this is Lord Pingyang!"

At this moment, King Zhao was already a little out of anger.

If it is said that Lord Pingyang poisoned the eldest prince just because of his alliance with Concubine Li, for the sake of Concubine Li, King Zhao actually planned to forgive Lord Pingyang.

As long as he is properly punished, Lord Pingyang will not dare to act rashly in the future.

But now, the content described in the confession obviously made Zhao Wang completely unable to calm down.

What Lord Pingyang wants is not the life of the eldest prince, he wants the life of the second prince, even the life of King Zhao, what he wants is the throne of the Zhao Kingdom!Zhao Wang's face gradually turned grim.
