After being forced to marry a tyrant: I overturned the original plot

"My lady, there was someone who was not in the house last night."

Sui Shou followed Qin Xin's instructions and went to check on the suspect who was not in the house last night.

"Is it the new one, or the previous one?"

Qin Xin drank tea calmly. She seemed to be the candidate who was in doubt at the moment.

Gu Fei said he would come to investigate and asked her to stay put, but how was that possible?

Someone wanted to kill her, but she didn't find out and just sat there waiting for him to catch the murderer for her?

The most important thing is that in Gao’s house, Qin Xin is confident that she can investigate faster than Gu Fei.

"The one that came later."

Qin Xin raised his eyebrows and looked at the shaking water in the teacup. After a while, he said to Sui Shou.

"Keep an eye on it first, don't alert the enemy."

Since she was not harmed this time, there will most likely be further actions.

Whether it was taking action again or passing the message to the outside, she was just waiting.

"Yes!"

Sui Shou now not only feels respectful to Qin Xin, but also feels guilty for not being able to protect his master this time.

As for Gu Fei, he sent Ge Weili to monitor the distribution of relief supplies to prevent anyone from embezzling the money.

General Wang continued to be responsible for taking patients whose symptoms turned from mild to serious to Gao's house for placement.

Gu Fei ordered the secret guards to check the list of outsiders in the past month and find out the purpose and background of these people.

He looked at the map of the world in front of him and frowned slightly.

Shuiyue City is far from the capital, but close to the east of Yu Country and close to the border of Hui Country—

At first glance, it seems to be just a small town far from the border, but it is inevitable that spies from other countries will lurk in.

But before, everyone could only concentrate on doing one thing - fighting the epidemic and providing disaster relief.

Now that the people have cooperated, their disaster relief work can be carried out in an orderly manner. Only then can he stop and think carefully about this key issue.

Liu Chengxing's death was strange. Before her death, she had been using Zhou Feng to collude with Huiguo. As a former governor, Zhou Feng was in charge of many places, including Shuiyue City...

"Let's go and interrogate Zhou Feng."

Gu Fei's eyes suddenly became stern and he stood up and walked out.

Suifeng hurried to keep up with him.

"Will you go to jail now?"

Zhou Feng was locked up alone in a cell in the county government office. Fearing that he would commit suicide out of fear of the crime and even more afraid that he would be silenced, Gu Fei ordered his men to keep him under strict watch.

Gu Fei has not interrogated Zhou Feng since he was arrested. Although the interrogation at this time is hasty, it is enough for him to ask questions.

County prison.

Gu Fei looked at the guard at the door, then glanced around and thought for a while. He waved his hand, signaling a capable officer under General Wang to come over and talk.

Soon, the young general and the guard next to him ordered-

"Your Majesty wants to interrogate the criminal Zhou Feng alone. You all should leave first."

The guard retreated without hesitation.

Gu Fei only took Suifeng with him and went to the cell where Zhou Feng was imprisoned.

Gu Fei sat outside the cell door and asked in an oppressive tone:

"Zhou Feng, tell us the truth. How many spies from the Hui Kingdom did you let into Shuiyue City?"

In the cell, Zhou Feng, with chains on his hands and feet shaking, raised his dirty face, his haggard eyes full of gloom.

"Your Majesty, I have confessed everything you want to ask. There is nothing else to say..."

Knowing that it was a capital crime, he naturally would not give out more details, lest he be silenced before that.

But Gu Fei whispered——

"The crime you committed earlier is indeed punishable by death. I originally wanted to behead you on the spot... But if you can provide useful information and help Chen country prevent its evil plots against other countries, then you will have redeemed yourself. I can consider changing beheading to exile."

Faced with the death penalty, Zhou Feng would definitely not have the intention of making amends for his crime, but if he was given some hope, the situation would be different.

Sure enough, Zhou Feng's expression changed, he opened his eyes, and seemed to be rejuvenated.

But it soon returned to its lifeless state.

"Do I really have a chance of not dying for this crime?"

Gu Fei had some idea of ​​his reaction——

There is indeed something hidden.

This old guy didn't tell the truth even when he was dying.

"I am the Son of Heaven, how can I lie to you?"

Gu Fei had a sullen face, which made Zhou Feng lower his eyes and think.

Yes, how could this Majesty, who has the reputation of being a tyrant, who does whatever he wants and looks down on others, deceive a prisoner?

but……

Zhou Feng shrank his shoulders and his eyes flickered.

Even if he could redeem himself by making up for his crime and seeking exile, would the party he betrayed forgive him?

I'm afraid he will be the first one to be retaliated against.

"You don't have to worry about being silenced by the other party."

There is deep meaning in Gu Fei's eyes that seem to see through people's hearts.

"If you tell me, I will secretly arrange for you to go to the place of exile first; if you don't tell me, I will just leave the cell and remove the guards outside..."

He paused subtly and did not continue.

But Zhou Feng's pupils shrank and he immediately understood Gu Fei's threat.

What a vicious method!

Now, let’s not talk about it. The best outcome for him is to live until the plague in Shuiyue City is over, and the worst outcome is that he won’t even see tomorrow’s sun!

I've said that, with His Majesty's straightforward personality, at least the guards outside the door will not be withdrawn, so he still has a chance to survive...

Besides, Zhou Feng's eyes flashed a few times. Why didn't he just say it all at once?

"My patience is limited. If you don't want to tell me, that's fine. But if you keep it a secret and waste my time and energy, then you can forget about living."

How could Gu Fei not know Zhou Feng's character?

When he was alive, he only thought about how to make money. When he was dying, he only thought about how to live a miserable life.

Zhou Feng, whose life and death were repeatedly in control, was still struggling, but Gu Fei just left.

"Withdraw all the guards."

"No, sire, sire—"

Zhou Feng looked at the man's indifferent and cold back, and couldn't help struggling to reach out to pull the wooden bars of the door, begging loudly.

After Zhou Feng had been trembling with fear for half an hour, a man in black sneaked in with a knife "as expected", looking at Zhou Feng with murderous eyes.

"You, who are you? Someone, come here, someone wants to kill me!"

The man in black swung his knife to cut off the door lock, approached Zhou Feng step by step, and raised the knife to Zhou Feng's neck.

Zhou Feng immediately screamed for help at the top of his lungs and hid back in fear.

"I didn't say anything, don't kill me, don't kill me."

"Only the dead can keep secrets."

The man in black lowered his voice and was not moved by his words. The moment the tip of the knife approached, Suifeng appeared with a team of soldiers.

"Take it!"

Suifeng drew his sword, and the man in black swung his knife at him, then dodged and escaped.

The others quickly turned around and chased after him.

Zhou Feng was scared to death. If it had been a little later, he would have really died.

After looking at Zhou Feng, Suifeng picked him up.

The sword was across Zhou Feng's neck, and Zhou Feng, who was still frightened, almost had his eyes popping out.

"Don't……"

"Your Majesty is still soft-hearted. This is your last chance - are you willing to confess?"

"Recruit, recruit, I recruit all!"

He has faced life and death situations twice, so what else is there for him to not confess!

Outside the cell.

"His Majesty."

The man in black with the knife left the cell and stopped running, and the soldiers chasing him also stopped. The man in black took off his mask, put away his knife, and saluted in front of Gu Fei.

If you look carefully, you will know that this is the young general in charge of guarding this side.

"Well done, come on down."

Gu Fei nodded, and the corners of his mouth curled up under the veil.

Now, Zhou Feng had to be honest and confess everything.
