Li Yunxing completely lost his patience. Wu Shumiao was just a pawn in this game.

When he asked Wu Shumiao to explain, he didn't cooperate.

Then don't blame him for being ruthless.

Li Yunxing stood on the high platform indifferently and looked down at the man kneeling on the ground, with ridicule flashing in his eyes.

"Prince, spare your life! Your Highness, please spare your life!" Wu Shumiao hurriedly shouted, "I say! I say everything! I say everything!"

Li Yunxing interrupted him, "Jinxi, shut his mouth, it's too noisy."

"Here!"

Jin Xi picked up the linen cloth again and stuffed it into Wu Shumiao's mouth.

"Well...well..."

Li Yunxing slowly picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea to soothe his throat.

"If you don't want to say it, just never speak again for the rest of your life."

When the golden ball python entered his body, Wu Shumiao really felt the double mental and physical torture.

The fun of this "snake and rat game" is that others can tell whether the snake has caught up with the rat by looking at the ups and downs of its abdomen.

The rat was so frightened by the python that it ran around inside its body, and its sharp claws scratched its intestines.

The pain increased several times, but Wu Shumiao couldn't even die.

With a final squeak, the snake caught up with the mouse and swallowed it in one gulp, causing its abdomen to bulge in a strange shape.

Wu Shumiao was even dying. This torture was a thousand times more painful than any torture he had ever used before.

Finally, Wu Shumiao couldn't bear it anymore and fainted.

Upon seeing this, Li Yunxing ordered Jinxi to pull the snake out and put it back in the cage.

The golden ball python was also well fed and lazily curled up into a ball and went to sleep.

Jin Xi reminded carefully: "Your Highness, Wu Shumiao hasn't explained clearly yet, so let's just forget it?"

Li Yunxing actually had some suspicions in his mind. Since Qin Zhongyi participated in the grain draft, he had only two options if Liu Zhongqing failed to force the palace.

One is to burn the food and grass and destroy the evidence.

The second is to kill and silence, taking advantage of Emperor Wu's critical illness to kill his prince.

If no one continues to worry about the "food draft", they can continue to suck the blood of the Wu Dynasty and fill their own belly.

According to their greedy character, they will definitely choose the second option.

"Walk him awake." Li Yunxing said calmly, "I must listen to the truth."

"Yes! I obey the order!"

Wu Shumiao was covered in sweat. As soon as he opened his eyes, he immediately noticed that Jin Xi had poured cold well water over him.

The biting ice water is instantly refreshing.

But this was not enough, another bucket followed.

Now Wu Shumiao was completely awake. He quickly shook his head and said, "Stop watering, stop watering."

Li Yunxing snorted: "Tell me."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, please spare your life. Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please spare your life."

"If you had been willing to tell me earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer this crime."

"Yes, yes." Wu Shumiao said yes repeatedly. He was really afraid of this prince now.

"Contents of three letters."

Wu Shumiao swallowed his saliva and began to tell the story tremblingly.

"The first letter says that Linghu Hong is dead."

"The second letter says that Emperor Wu is critically ill."

"The third letter...the third letter..."

Seeing that Wu Shumiao was covering up for a long time and couldn't finish his sentence, Jin Xi said anxiously: "Speak quickly!"

Wu Shumiao was so frightened that he almost lost his soul. He trembled and said, "The third letter talks about killing the prince and seizing the throne."

Hearing this, Li Yunxing narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold expression emerging.

Qin Zhongyi was so ambitious that he not only wanted to kill himself, but also dared to imagine sitting on the throne of emperor.

This traitor is so brave!

"Very good! Very good!" Li Yunxing sneered and praised repeatedly.

Wu Shumiao was trembling with fear. He really didn't understand how the prince could be so happy suddenly.

Li Yunxing stood up and walked slowly towards Wu Shumiao: "How can you, an ignorant common man, dare to participate in the rebellion?"

Speaking of this, Wu Shumiao showed a hint of ferocity: "If the prince hadn't been cruel, why would I have come here?"

"Oh? Can I be blamed for this?"

"The prince pretended to let my brother retire and return to his hometown, but he sent someone to assassinate him on the way. It's a pity that I have been stationed in the northwest camp for decades, but I didn't even get to see my brother for the last time!"

"Wu Shujing is dead?" Li Yunxing was a little surprised.

He did not send anyone to follow Wu Shujing, and he had no idea that he died on the way back home.

"It's already this time. Why are you pretending to me, Your Highness?"

Li Yunxing sneered. This Wu Shumiao really had no brains. He was still counting down the money after being taken advantage of.

"I have always been willing to kill when I wanted to, and behead when I wanted to. There is no need to be pretentious. It is extremely hypocritical!"

Li Yunxing was sarcastic without hesitation.

Wu Shumiao didn't believe it, "If it wasn't you, who else would have such hatred for my brother?!"

Even Jin Xi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

Jin Xi, who was originally a eunuch, looked a bit more feminine than an ordinary man, and his smile made him look even more sinister.

"General Wu, stupid people like you are rare!"

It is simply incomprehensible that such an extremely stupid person can actually commit rebellion.

"What do you think the prince would gain from killing Wu Shujing, who was demoted from his official position?"

Wu Shumiao thought for a long time and had no answer.

Li Yunxing was the prince of the prison state, and his status was only lower than that of Emperor Wu.

Wu Shujing was just a minion to him. Even if Wu Shujing was demoted, he might not die because of it.

But if not Li Yunxing, who else?

Li Yunxing then slowly said, "I can't think of any benefit from killing him. Why don't I think about who would benefit from his death."

Wu Shumiao could only go into battle to kill the enemy, but he didn't know how to maneuver.

Li Yunxing reminded him impatiently: "Who made you rebel?"

"Qin...Qin Zhongyi."

Only then did all the clues come together, and Wu Shumiao finally understood that he had been mistaken for a spearman by Qin Zhongyi.

At first, Qin Zhongyi sent a letter to inform him that the prince was fatuous and had reduced his brother's position and asked him to go to Beijing to complain.

If it didn't work, they would lead troops to the capital, and they would definitely ask Emperor Wu to give him an explanation.

But as soon as he entered the capital, he received the news that his brother had died tragically in a foreign land. Wu Shumiao, blinded by anger, decided to cooperate with Qin Zhongyi in his "rebellion".

Then the flying pigeon passed the message and conveyed the news from the capital back to the camp.

Thinking about it now, there are loopholes in every word Qin Zhongyi said. He said he wanted to seek justice for the two brothers, but in fact it was his own ambition!

"Hand over the tiger talisman, and I will give you a pleasure!"

When canonizing a general, Emperor Wu would divide the tiger talisman into two parts, keeping one half for himself and giving the other half to the general for mobilizing troops and generals.

Although Qin Zhongyi wanted to rebel, he did not have the power to mobilize the northwest camp.

Therefore, he could only set a trap for Wu Shumiao and let him lead the army south. Now it was too late to recover Fei Ge and pass the message.

As long as Li Yunxing gets the Tiger Talisman, he can stop the soldiers of the northwest camp.

"Ha..." Wu Shumiao spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes were crazy, "Qin Zhongyi is not a good guy, and you are not a good bird either!"
