After being forced to marry a tyrant: I overturned the original plot
Chapter 98: Changeable, Purely Deceitful
When Zhou Feng saw Gu Fei again, he wasn't even as scared as before -
When Your Majesty executes people, at least he notifies them in advance; but when others silence people, they really don't choose the time!
In comparison, both sides are dangerous, so it is better to surrender to the one you cannot afford to offend first, as for the one you cannot afford to offend in the distance...
You may not encounter it in your lifetime, so let’s wait and see.
What happened tonight made Zhou Feng realize that King Chen was right. Whether he confessed now or not, he would be silenced by Hui Country. Rather than this -
Don't be well!
He didn't have a list of spies, but he had a fake travel pass that Huiguo had given to the fake queen mother and that was passed to him.
Zhou Feng was not directly involved in the cooperation between Liu Chengxing and the royal family of Huiguo, but the fake queen mother needed his help, so as long as he was involved, it would not be difficult to review and find out.
Otherwise, no one would be in such a hurry to kill him tonight.
Zhou Feng then gave out the names of the people who had arranged for him to be sent to Shuiyue City and the nearby Lishan City.
Tateyama Castle... that's an important border town.
The border with Hui State is only two hundred miles away.
Gu Fei curled his fingers silently and slowly clenched his fist.
After everyone finished recruiting, he thought about it in his mind, then picked up a pen, spread out the paper, and sketched on it.
The spies from Shuiyue City started to prepare to transfer the money when Zhou Feng received the disaster relief funds. It was originally just a matter of money, but now think about it...
Isn't this deliberately creating a crisis, waiting for the people of Shuiyue City to suffer and then fall into chaos?
What should the spies in Tateyama Castle do?
According to Zhou Feng, because there are many troops stationed there, it is impossible to embezzle military pay, so he doesn't know what is happening at the border.
The border has always been guarded by King Nanmo. He was quite loyal to the late emperor and nothing had happened over the years.
But Gu Fei clicked on the relationships and routes on the map...
Suddenly I had a bad feeling.
Suppose he had not come to Shuiyue City, and the epidemic broke out, Lishan City would rush to help, and the rebel army would go south and would definitely face the army of King Nanmo. At that time, Huiguo would attack again in one fell swoop -
Lishan City's military strength was insufficient, Shuiyue City was seriously injured, and no one supported the Chen Kingdom's court. That made it easy for Hui Kingdom to capture the two cities.
With such high morale, even if they cannot take down the State of Chen, they can still capture several cities and then negotiate with the State of Chen.
Xu Changming is the male protagonist of this world and the last vested interest holder of royal power in this world. The real him - his scheming and tactics - is definitely not the simple setting of a man who loves his wife as much as his life in romance novels.
The book only describes one aspect of his emotions, but does not tell all his actions in seizing power in the chapter that is told from the heroine's perspective.
Gu Fei rubbed his eyebrows and decided to do something.
For the male protagonist of this world, I used to think that I had to confront him head-on. Now I think that the ice is not formed in a day.
The other party may have already started taking action against Chen State in his quest for power.
"Your Majesty, Zhou Feng is clamoring to see you."
Suifeng sent Zhou Feng back to the cell, but the latter was very reluctant, fearing that he would be silenced again.
"not see."
Gu Fei withdrew his thoughts, folded the paper and put it away.
The tone was cool, affirmative.
Suifeng thought for a moment before asking, "So, does he still behead people?"
Speaking of this, Suifeng felt a little unsatisfied. If he just let Zhou Feng go, wouldn't it disappoint the people who were looking forward to seeing this corrupt official beheaded?
But Your Majesty is also thinking about the overall situation. The emperor's words are golden, and it is not easy to break them...
"Of course."
Gu Fei raised his eyes, his look was frank and matter-of-fact.
"But you..."
Suifeng: Didn’t you say that if Zhou Feng confessed, his sentence would be exile?
He didn't dare to say it.
"Yes, I meant to consider it. Now I have considered it clearly - he deserves death and will be beheaded at a later date."
Seeing Suifeng's eyes widen, Gu Fei added in a subtle tone.
"Since the information he provided was somewhat useful, I will show some mercy - I will not tell him about the execution for now."
"..."
It seemed that Suifeng's eye sockets could no longer accommodate his eyeballs, just as Your Majesty's heart could no longer accommodate his thoughts.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
He plays word games with great skill, worthy of being called "the changeable (debate) person of the later generations".
Gu Fei arranged for people to capture the people who were recruited by Zhou Feng and interrogate them one by one.
Among them, there were those who sneaked into Gao’s house.
"There is no time to lose, let's arrest these two first."
This concerns Qin Xin's safety and cannot be delayed.
High house.
"Madam, you guessed correctly. She used the excuse of going to the kitchen to tamper with your medicine!"
Sui Shou brought a woman in her twenties or thirties in front of Qin Xin, forced her to kneel down, and put the sword on her neck.
Qin Xin looked at the honest-looking woman in front of him.
"My lady, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I just went to make throat lozenges... I saw your medicine was still boiling, so I just wanted to see if it was ready. How could I dare to tamper with your medicine? I am innocent!"
The woman knelt down and pleaded her innocence to Qin Xin.
Qin Xin looked at the bowl of medicine at hand, said nothing, and just looked at the female doctor beside her.
The female doctor took a silver needle and tested the poison, but after a while, the silver needle did not change color.
The woman saw this and showed joy on her face, and immediately said -
"Look, madam, it's not poisonous. I didn't lie!"
She seemed so excited that she wanted to stand up, but Sui Shou pressed his hand down, with the blade of the sword against the woman's skin, and she knelt properly again.
"This medicine is not poisonous, but the mouth of the bowl - that may not be the case."
Qin Xin glanced at it, then suddenly smiled, reached out and took out a handkerchief, and wiped around the edge of the bowl.
Then hand it to the doctor.
The female doctor took it with both hands and tested it for poison.
Not long after——
"My lady, it's poisonous!"
The doctor cried out in horror.
Sui Shou pressed the sword down again and again, and the woman's skin began to bleed.
She screamed and then continued to protest her injustice.
"I am really wronged. I really didn't poison the bowl. How could the mouth of the bowl be poisonous? I didn't know!"
"Oh? But your accomplices have confessed."
Qin Xin spoke in a subtle and drawn-out tone as she looked at the sugar-making artist in front of her who was desperately protesting his injustice.
"You are quite clever. You sent in two assassins at the same time under the pretext of making throat lozenges, one in the open and one in the dark. This way, one of them was a cover from the beginning to arouse suspicion. Even if the fire failed, the other one could be kept undetected and take action at another opportunity.
What a pity, your accomplice who served as a cover was not able to withstand my tactics and betrayed you."
Seeing that this person seemed unconvinced, Qin Xin continued:
"Otherwise, do you think I am so good at foresight? Would I know in advance that you would put the poison in the bowl? I caught him before you took action."
"I see!"
The woman finally believed it at this time. She gritted her teeth and said hatefully.
"A useless person who is always causing trouble but can't do anything good!"
"Well, you can't blame him. Who told me that only one of the two could survive? He felt very unwilling to be the abandoned child destined to die for you, so he had no choice but to sacrifice you."
"asshole!"
The woman tried to get up angrily, but was held down by Sui Shou.
"Why don't you commit suicide? He said that if you are exposed, you will commit suicide by taking poison."
Qin Xin did not play by the rules. Without waiting for anyone to react, he leisurely urged the person to commit suicide.
The woman completely believed that she had been betrayed. She was betrayed so thoroughly that her plan that had almost succeeded failed.
Of course she was unwilling to commit suicide!
"Don't think about it!"
Isn't it just to force them to tell the mastermind behind the scenes? So she let the Queen of Chen kill the bastard first, and then she would commit suicide.
Never allow the traitor to betray his master.
"Forget it, take him away and lock him up until His Majesty decides."
Only after this man was taken away did Qin Xin breathe a sigh of relief.
That "Ming Hao" had already committed suicide by biting the poison in his mouth when Sui Kari found him.
As for what happened just now, ah, I'm sorry, it was pure cheating.
