Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Seeing that Her Majesty the Empress was telling lies in front of her with her eyes open, and she looked confident.

If Chen Baosheng hadn't been very sure that he had not secretly colluded with the man named Chu Mo, he might have confessed.

Just when he was about to retort and vindicate himself, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

No, I can't just deny it. If I tell the truth directly, I will definitely die.

And if he involves the general in this matter, then his life or death does not matter, then his family will definitely be implicated, and he will not be the only one who dies.

But if she directly denies her relationship with Chu Mo and says that she has no collusion with him, then Her Majesty the Empress will definitely not be able to explain it.

Not saying whether he could withstand the subsequent torture, but saying that if the other party lost patience and used his family as a threat, wouldn't he end up in the same end?

No, I can't just die here, and I can't harm my family.

Just when Chen Baosheng was at a loss, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a young eunuch behind Chu Xin from the corner of his eye, secretly lifting a corner of his robe, revealing a waistband with the word "Lin" engraved on it.

Chen Baosheng's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he understood instantly.

This is the general asking someone to send him a signal, but is the other party trying to reassure himself? Or are you warning yourself?

After Chen Baosheng pondered for a moment, he already figured it out.

Regardless of whether the other party is warning him or reassuring himself, he cannot betray the other party now, otherwise, he will really die without a burial place.

Thinking of this, Chen Baosheng's eyes burst out with a strong desire to survive.

No matter what the other party's purpose is, the final choice is in your own hands.

Regardless of whether the general wants to warn him or protect himself, at least the other party will not take action against him and his family in a short period of time.

So, the only trouble now is how to appease Her Majesty the Empress.

If the other party doesn't want that damn Chu Mo's information, then just give it to him.

Thinking of this, a strange smile appeared on Chen Baosheng's face.

And his change naturally did not escape the eyes of Chu Xin and Manager Wei.

"Chen Baosheng, His Majesty is asking you something, why don't you answer quickly?"

Seeing the smile on Chen Baosheng's face, Manager Wei felt deeply ashamed.

His Majesty asked him to torture Chen Baosheng, but not only did he not get any useful information, but now the other party dared to show such a weird smile in front of himself and Your Majesty, which really made him feel embarrassed.

"Haha, Mr. Wei, whether I want to say it or not, it's not up to you, a dead eunuch, to tell you what to say."

Chen Baosheng glanced at Manager Wei disdainfully, then turned to look at Chu Xin and said:

"Your Majesty, I have a question. I wonder if your Majesty can answer it?"

Chu Xin nodded:

"If you have any questions, just ask."

"If I answer your majesty's question and help your majesty catch Chu Mo, will I have a chance to survive?"

After saying that, Chen Baosheng stared at Chu Xin, wanting her to give him a satisfactory answer.

However, Chen Baosheng was disappointed.

Chu Xin looked at Chen Baosheng indifferently, and uttered two words that made him despair:

"No."

"As a minister of my great Zhou Dynasty, you actually want to conspire with outsiders. Such a crime is not worthy of death."

"Of course, you can also refuse to explain. I will find a way to make you speak."

Chu Xin looked at Chen Baosheng with great confidence, as if she had understood him thoroughly.

Chen Baosheng believed Her Majesty the Queen's answer.

The reason why he asked the other party this question was that he already understood that it was impossible for the other party to deceive him, and he did not bother to deceive himself.

Looking at Chu Xin who looked indifferent, Chen Baosheng couldn't help laughing:

"Your Majesty, if I say that I did not collude with Chu Mo and that all this was framed by others, would you believe it?"

Hearing Chen Baosheng's words, Chu Xin just raised her eyebrows and did not answer, obviously not believing it.

Seeing this situation, Chen Baosheng knew that even if he revealed the truth now, he still could not rule out the other party's suspicion.

Thinking of this, he sighed slightly, then pretended to look forward to death, turned his head to the side and said:

"Since Your Majesty doesn't want to believe Wei Chen, Wei Chen has nothing to say, so go ahead and do it."

Upon hearing this, Manager Wei immediately became angry and shouted to several jailers on the side:

"Why are you still standing there? I didn't see the other party being so harsh! You're not going to give me the punishment."

In his opinion, Chen Baosheng's actions were completely contemptuous of himself and Her Majesty the Empress.

Upon seeing this, the jailer on the side immediately picked up the miscellaneous torture instruments in the corner, stained with countless blood, and rushed towards Chen Baosheng.

In an instant, a truly tragic howl sounded in the cell.

Seeing Chen Baosheng who had been knocked unconscious twice but still refused to let go, Chu Xin's patience finally ran out.

At this moment, the jailer on the side cautiously stepped forward to report:

"Your Majesty, the execution cannot continue. If it continues, this man may not be able to hold on."

Before Chu Xin could say anything, Manager Wei immediately jumped to the side:

"What can't I bear? Is it possible that this guy's mouth can be harder than the torture tools on death row? Continue to torture me until he confesses!"

Glancing coldly at the furious Chief Wei who was jumping up and down, Chu Xin directly waved her hand to stop the jailer who wanted to continue the execution, looked at Chen Baosheng and said:

"I heard that you have wives, children, and children at home, and there are many old and weak women and children in your family. So, I am not an unreasonable person."

"Since you can't bear the current punishment, you can let your wife, children, and members of your clan bear it on your behalf."

"I will order people to bring them all here and let them suffer for you. What do you think?"

Hearing Chu Xin's words, Chen Baosheng's eyes widened and he stared at Chu Xin.

After a long time, he looked up to the sky and sighed:

"Come on, I, Chen Baosheng, am not a kind person when I meet people, so I met a fool like you."

"Forget it, Hunjun, if you have anything to say, just ask."

Seeing that Chen Baosheng cared so much about his family and how he could break his defense so easily, Chu Xin was a little confused, but when she saw the scars all over his body, her doubts were immediately dispelled.

The reason why Chen Baosheng persists so far is because he wants to gain Chu Xin's trust and wants to confess at the last moment, so that he can truly gain the other party's trust.

Now it seems that his move was obviously the right one.

From the moment he knew that he was bound to die, he had already thought everything through, and now it seems that it has really worked.
