After rebirth, I don’t want to be a Mary Sue heroine anymore!
Chapter 119: All Showdown
Eunuch Zhang's momentum had weakened a little at this point, and he answered unconfidently: "Not all the time. It's just a coincidence!"
Luo Qingqing wanted to say something else, so I immediately pulled her back.
I know Eunuch Zhang still thinks Li Jing will come to save him.
I looked at the eunuch Zhang who was full of vigor and vitality yesterday and has now become a dirty old man.
I began to appeal to his emotions and reason with him, saying: "Eunuch Zhang, you are now an old man in this palace. You can leave the palace in a few years.
You were suddenly sent to prison. I wonder if your family knows about this?
You had a better future, why did it fall from your hands? "
When Eunuch Zhang heard me mention his family, he immediately turned around excitedly and sat up from the dirty straw.
He hurried to the fence and stared at me.
Then he said to me fiercely: "Don't think I don't know.
You are just trying to provoke me into telling you who is behind this.
I tell you, it's impossible. I'm the only one behind this, and I'm not happy about why you were born with everything.
And I just need to move forward in the dark in this dirty world.
I just can't bear to see you living a good life, so I'm going to tear this beauty apart!
Besides, aren't you living a good life now? Why do you still care so much?"
Wen Yichen couldn't bear to listen to these words anymore, so he grabbed his hand and held his elbow tightly.
Wen Yichen sneered and said: "That's it? Why don't you hate me?
Isn't this prince better off than them? I was born with more things, so why do I only think about revenge on them?
Are you really unwilling to tell the truth? We all know who is behind you.
It's just that there is a missing piece of evidence!
Do you think this prince can do something that he is not prepared for?"
Eunuch Zhang pretended not to hear anything and said nothing at all.
Looking at Eunuch Zhang like this, I naturally knew that he couldn't say it.
I said to Eunuch Zhang: "You don't have to say it. But do you think you will be fine? Do you think it will be okay if you die?
I wonder what your elderly mother would think when she knew that you dared to assassinate the future fifth prince's concubine?
Do you think your brother and his family can really escape?
Do you think that if you don't say anything and completely admit your sin, nothing will happen to your relatives around you?"
Eunuch Zhang immediately grabbed the railing and almost roared at me: "How do you know? How do you know these things?
I hid these things so deeply, how do you know them?
What on earth do you want to do now? Don't do anything to my mother, she's just an old woman!"
I looked at Eunuch Zhang and said with a cheerful smile: "Why would I know that?
Because everything you do to me is a failure.
You thought you hid it well?
Don't forget my identity. Is there anything that I would like to know but won't know?
Who are you? Are you still thinking of hiding these things?
Don't forget, if you admit this crime, I'm afraid all nine members of your family will die.
You can just die and forget about it. But think about your mother and your brother's child, can you bear to have them both beheaded?
One is a person who is about to die of old age, and the other is a person who still has a bright future.
How to choose? I think you have been in the palace for so many years, you should know how to choose! "
Eunuch Zhang was also somewhat moved, his hair was disheveled and his face was dirty.
But you could still see tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.
He knelt on the ground, kowtowed to us and said: "Please, save me.
I can die alone, but my family members are not guilty. They are innocent.”
When Wen Yichen saw him like this, he immediately said firmly:
If you tell me who is the mastermind behind this, then I can guarantee that your family will not be harmed.
If you don't tell me, then I, the prince, will naturally not be able to protect your family, and I'm afraid it will be very dangerous."
Eunuch Zhang said in a voice that sounded almost desperate: "I will tell you everything. I will tell you everything!
This was indeed the work of Concubine Li, who was instigating this. She was in urgent need of money recently, but had no money.
I recently gave out a betrothal gift, so I was thinking about getting it back.
She came up with this idea and had her servants follow the two of them. When she found an opportunity, she kidnapped them.
Concubine Li told me that the officials had been bribed by her. No matter how I reported this to the authorities, the Emperor would never know.
Unexpectedly, this was eventually known to the Emperor!"
After hearing this, I felt that it was only half right and half wrong.
I continued to ask: "Then why did you find someone to tarnish our innocence after receiving the ransom?
Could it be that Concubine Li also ordered this?"
Eunuch Zhang is not as stubborn as he was at the beginning.
He immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice and said, "Originally, I didn't dare to think that the future prince's wife would be defiled.
At that time, it was Lu'er who came to tell me that it was Concubine Li who said that I had not received the money I should have received.
Then we will just find someone to kill you. You will lose your innocence.
Marrying the fifth prince wouldn't be so ostentatious.
The most important point is that all the betrothal gifts given out can be taken back."
After listening to this, Luo Qingqing and I both gave Li Jing a thumbs up.
Luo Qingqing said self-deprecatingly: "This is like going from one fire pit into another. The betrothal gift I gave was originally less than what others gave, but I didn't expect that I would have to find ways to get it back.
Otherwise, you'd better go back and fight to the death. You should really save money and spend money!"
Wen Yichen now spoke more calmly and asked: "She usually lives a secluded life and doesn't need much money. Why does she suddenly need so much money?
Ten thousand ounces of gold is not a small sum. If you can use this money, it must be a bribe!"
Eunuch Zhang shook his head and said, "I don't know. Usually, some important matters of the Empress are not handled by me.
It was Lu'er who did it. I'm afraid she needs to say something about this matter! Bribery is something that only she usually does.
The Queen was still very careful and entrusted many important things to Lu'er.
I am just doing something thankless!"
Seeing that the interrogation was almost over, Wen Yichen immediately ordered the jailer to write a complaint and have Eunuch Zhang sign it.
Eunuch Zhang looked at the indictment, shook his head and said to us: "My lords, I am already a dying man.
Listen to my advice: be careful with Concubine Li, she is not a pushover! "
Just as I was about to sign, someone suddenly shouted: "The cell is on fire!"
When we heard there was a fire, we naturally headed outside. You can only go inside the prison, not out.
If this fire comes in, I'm afraid we will all be buried in this sea of fire.
After we went out, many people went in with water to put out the fire.
Lu'er also took the opportunity to sneak in.
Lu'er walked in front of Eunuch Zhang. Eunuch Zhang looked at Lu'er and was not surprised.
Eunuch Zhang smiled and said to Lu'er, "You and your men set the fire! You came here during the chaos, so you must have something important to tell me!"
Lu Er nodded and said, "As expected, we have worked together for so many years, and we still have some tacit understanding. Then you should know why I came to see you."
Eunuch Zhang laughed and said, "Now that the truth has been revealed, you want me to take all the blame, right?"
Lu Er nodded and said, "Think about your family. This is your only choice. If the queen is dragged into this, you should know the consequences for your family!"
Eunuch Zhang looked straight at Lu'er and replied: "Tell me, if the queen falls, will the power behind her still be useful?
Do you think she has time to care about my family now that she is going to die with me?"
Lu Er's lips curled up into a smile, and then she said: "The queen is gone, but there is still the fifth prince.
The emperor would not even eat his own cubs, so there is no way he would depose the fifth prince!
If the Fifth Prince knew that it was your betrayal that caused his mother to leave, do you think he would let you go?"
Eunuch Zhang motioned for Lu'er to come closer to the prison door. Lu'er walked over without any precautions.
Eunuch Zhang grabbed Lu'er's neck and said, "Should we add you as well?
Do you think I don't know? Why is my salary so low every time? Isn't it you who is causing the trouble?
You even want to kill my elderly mother. Are you still human?
If I die, I will drag you down with me.
If the queen doesn't die, then you will die. You should choose the one you want!"
After saying that, he let go of Lu'er.
Lu'er obviously didn't expect that Eunuch Zhang, who was usually so respectful to her, would be so scary now.
Lu'er said tremblingly: "How do you want to die? When did you become so disobedient?
Don't forget that you are the sinner now, and you will still be tortured in this cell.
And I'm still out there having fun. Who are you trying to scare?"
Eunuch Zhang suddenly calmed down, stared at Lu'er and said: "You are cool and carefree, but I can't let you be so cool and carefree forever!"
Eunuch Zhang immediately took a step back into the cell and then shouted frantically: "Someone come! Someone come quickly! Someone here wants to escape from prison! Someone wants to kill someone!
Someone come quickly, someone is going to die here!"
If someone dies in prison, it is a big taboo in prison.
The fire in the prison was almost out. When Eunuch Zhang shouted, everyone looked over and saw someone appear in the prison.
The group of people shouted excitedly: "Hurry up, someone is here to commit murder! Someone is taking advantage of the fire to kill people and silence them!"
The jailers quickly entered the cell to check the situation.
