Chapter 49: Letting the Tiger Go Back to the Mountains Leaves Trouble
Luo Fanchen went out quickly and came back quickly. In a short while, he was back to the big tent with a stack of papers in his hand.
Seeing Ah Si beating the middle-aged man with all his might, Luo Fanchen said expressionlessly: "Even if you give him the Soul-breaking Water for Three Days, you still have to be careful with your strength and don't give him a fatal blow."
"Boss, these are the collected crimes." After saying that, Luo Fanchen put where Liu Hu could see it, and flipped through the pages one by one so that Liu Hu could see it clearly.
Over the years, the Qingyi Guards have been collecting evidence against Xiao Leng. Although Xiao Leng has been hiding his tracks, a wise man will make mistakes and a fool will gain something.
The Qingyi Guards have been dormant for many years and have collected quite a lot. Now they are all brought together, which is quite scary.
Liu Hu just glanced at it and continued, "Show it to him and ask him to sign it."
Luo Fanchen received the order, laughed, walked up to the middle-aged man, and said lightly: "Did you say it on your own initiative, or did I say it to you and you nodded."
The middle-aged man was somewhat confused at this time. He could only vaguely hear Luo Fanchen's words and said incoherently: "I really don't know."
"You won't cry until you see the coffin, huh." After saying that, Luo Fanchen read to the paper.
'In the 22nd year of Jianyuan, the war was intense, and the emperor called on everyone to donate money for the war. Xiao Leng's fiefdom had an annual income of 30 million taels of silver, but he donated nothing. He was defying the emperor and was lawless.'
'In June of the same year, Xiao Leng's fiefdom suffered a severe drought. The emperor allocated 10,000 taels of silver for disaster relief, but Xiao Leng withheld all of it and did not use any of it for disaster relief.'
'In the 23rd year of Jianyuan, Xiao Leng privately raised 50,000 soldiers, which greatly exceeded the scale he should have, even higher than the emperor, and he despised the majesty of heaven. His crime should be punished.'
"……"
Luo Fanchen read out the information one after another, and the middle-aged man was terrified. He knew a lot about Xiao Leng's deeds, but he didn't expect that Liu Hu knew more than him.
"Kill me, kill me quickly." The little bugs kept running around in the middle-aged man's body, causing him pain and itchiness. He really couldn't bear it anymore.
Luo Fanchen didn't care about his begging for mercy at all. He squatted down, patted the middle-aged man's face with his hand and said, "If you can tell me Xiao Leng's unknown secret, maybe I can let you go. Otherwise, you can wait to be baptized by my poisonous insects."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that the Three Day Soul-Severing Water I just gave you to drink is a special poison I made. As long as you don't bleed to death, other injuries won't kill you. Tell me when you've made up your mind."
Listening to Luo Fanchen's words, the middle-aged man felt a chill in his heart. The Three-Day Soul-Breaking Water, as the name suggests, will not let you die no matter how seriously injured you are, but after three days, you will die!
Even if you have no injuries after three days, the outcome will still be death.
"You are so vicious. I will not let you go even if I become a ghost." The middle-aged man cursed.
Luo Fanchen didn't care about other people's insults. On the contrary, the more others insulted him, the more excited he became. He lifted the middle-aged man's hair, tilted his head and said, "You can't be a ghost. If I don't want you to die, no one can kill you. Hahaha."
Listening to Luo Fanchen's strange laughter, the middle-aged man felt a chill in his heart, as if a ghost was trying to take his life.
"I say, can you give me a quick death?" The middle-aged man could clearly feel the little bugs gnawing at his flesh with his eyes closed.
Talk about a few things about Xiao Leng, and then push the blame onto Liu Hu and the others, saying that they found out the facts themselves.
The middle-aged man was calculating with his abacus, but he didn't know that his little plan had already been seen clearly by Liu Hu and others.
Luo Fanchen looked at the middle-aged man's begging expression, waved his hand, took out the poisonous insect and said, "I can't give you a quick death, but I can ensure that the poisonous insect is no longer in your body."
Without the poisonous insect, the middle-aged man felt a little more relaxed. He shook his shoulders to relax himself. Just now, when the poisonous insect was in his body, his whole body was tense.
"I have shown my sincerity, now it's time to say it." Luo Fanchen said.
The middle-aged man looked into Luo Fanchen's wolf-like eyes and knew in his heart that if he didn't say it, he might not be just a poisonous insect.
"Recently, the Thirteenth Prince is discussing with the State of Zhou. As long as you are eliminated, he will kill the current emperor under the banner of revenge for you and establish himself as king." The middle-aged man said all this in one breath and felt a little tired. He sat on the ground and gasped heavily.
This sentence caught everyone present off guard. They originally thought that Xiao Leng was loyal to the Daqian Empire, but they didn't expect that he also wanted to be the emperor.
He has acted so well over the years, totally portraying the image of a laid-back prince.
In other words, if Liu Hu had not appeared, Xiao Leng might have already become the emperor. Liu Hu even suspected that the actions of the surrounding empires were in collusion with Xiao Leng.
Liu Hu winked at Wen Xuan, and Wen Xuan understood and said, "You are not someone Xiao Leng values, how could you possibly know such a confidential matter."
It is impossible for someone who is not an absolute direct descendant to know about rebellion. Judging from the appearance of the middle-aged man, he does not seem to be Xiao Leng's direct descendant.
"I, I also overheard it. I have a good relationship with Zhao Laoer, the letter deliveryman. Once, the letter was opened by someone, and he happened to see it and told me." The middle-aged man told the truth.
"Boss, I'm afraid the plan has changed. If we follow the original plan, we will easily fall into Xiao Leng's trap." Wenxuan said with some concern.
I originally thought that Xiao Leng was a staunch supporter of the emperor, but I didn't expect that Xiao Leng had his own plans.
If this is true, the number of people coming from Zhou Kingdom is not just 30,000. The Northern Di and Western Yi will probably go to war at the same time to divide Daqian.
"Well, once I kill Xiao Leng, it will probably immediately cause dissatisfaction among the other two countries. They will take this opportunity to attack us." After a brief analysis, Liu Hu understood the pros and cons, and closed his eyes, feeling a little at a loss.
Wenxuan didn't have any good solution for the moment. According to Liu Hu's character , Xiao Leng must be killed, but the current situation was definitely not a good time to take action.
They have none of the advantages of time, place and people. Their only advantage is the military power in their hands.
But it is easy to conquer a country but very difficult to keep it. There have been too many unpopular kings who have been overthrown, too many to count.
There are too many people who can fight. The Yuan Dynasty was very good at fighting, but it still couldn't keep its country.
"No matter what, Xiao Leng must die today!" Liu Hu is not a person who will suffer a loss. Once he suffers a loss, he will not be able to sleep or eat well unless he gets back at his loss.
Wen Xuan grinned and thought: It's not that simple. Even if Xiao Leng is really killed, what should I do next? How can I suppress the people's unrest?
