Chu Nanzhi's slender fingers gently stroked the bridge of his nose.
He is truly a jealous person who cannot be offended.
She sat up calmly, straightened her posture, and said to him seriously: "I suspect that it was the arrival of your two imperial uncles that made Zheng Haichuan change his attitude."
Lin Jinxiao has already felt this: "Then continue to imprison Zheng Haichuan."
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate."
Chu Nan's eyebrows flashed slightly, and he said anxiously: "I see that the King of Nandu wants to protect these people. Now that Jiang Xueyi has pleaded guilty, it is against the rules to keep Zheng Haichuan in prison."
"I said that only you and I can protect him, and he has no other choice."
Lin Jinxiao looked at her and smiled lightly: "Since he took the initiative to invite you today, it means that he must be hiding something in his heart and wants to make an exchange with you."
"I did hear Guan Erbai mention this just now."
Chu Nanzhi had always wanted to use Zheng Haichuan as a breakthrough point, but he never thought that he would fall into someone else's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
"That's right. Since he has already relaxed, he still wants to waver at this time. There is no such reason."
Lin Jinxiao grabbed her hand and said with concern: "Anyway, you have asked Chen Chuan and the soldiers from the Haiphong Battalion to take over the two prisons. Nothing will happen again. Go home and rest today. I will accompany you tomorrow."
Go to the prison of the County Lieutenant's Mansion in person and interrogate Zheng Haichuan in person."
Chu Nanzhi shook his head with some worry: "It will be a long night and many dreams. I'm afraid we have to interrogate Zheng Haichuan overnight. Jiang Xueyi is also imprisoned. Let's see if we can find out anything from the two of them."
"Jiang Xueyi climbed up the ladder by relying on the power of the Tang family. I'm afraid he doesn't know much about the affairs between Wu Enrong and the Zheng family. At most, he can provide some details about how the Qi family sent money to the county. But Wu Enrong and Qi family
The family's accounts have not been handled directly by him over the years, most of them have been handled by Zheng Haichuan, and Zheng Haichuan's confession has to be interrogated."
Lin Jinxiao smiled tenderly at her: "Since you want to interrogate Zheng Haichuan at night, I have a way to make him speak. As my husband, I will accompany you there."
After saying that, he immediately opened the curtain and joined Li Ce. Yin Liuxuan gave instructions and the group turned their horses and headed towards the county captain's mansion.
It was already midnight when we arrived at Dexian Weifu Prison. Zheng Haichuan had already fallen asleep, and he was grabbed by the jailers, who were very impatient.
After being escorted to the discipline room, looking at Zhang Senran's solemn face, he showed no fear at all. He complained confidently: "Your Highness and Princess don't treat their humble positions as human beings. They don't care in the middle of the night."
It is a humble position to make people sleep, even though it is a low-key job and has not yet been convicted, so you can do whatever you want, but you cannot be humiliated like this."
"You are quite brave."
Lin Jinxiao smiled coldly and evilly: "Zheng Haichuan, tell me, why did you call me and my princess to come here so late at night? If you satisfy me, I can temporarily spare your life. Otherwise, today will be the end of the world."
Your death date."
"this"
Zheng Haichuan's old face frowned slightly.
After a long time, he hesitated and began to answer: "I feel that I have been wronged because of my humble position. Mrs. Zheng was obviously killed by Wu Enrong. Jiang Xueyi insisted on falsely accusing her of murder because of my humble position. Since Your Highness asked the princess to hear the case,
Naturally, I have to ask the princess to redress my grievances."
"You are talking nonsense."
Guan Erbai was furious: "Zheng Haichuan, you just said clearly that you had something important to explain to the princess. Li Dianshi made a special trip to invite the princess over for you, but you suddenly changed your words."
Zheng Haichuan felt guilty, but he could not admit what he had said he wanted to confess.
After thinking about it, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Chu Nanzhi, and replied with a look of obsession: "Ji Zhi, Ji Zhi is just nonsense, Ji Zhi has admired the princess for a long time, and has just arrived at Luyan Port.
I was imprisoned unexpectedly. I was extremely frightened and confused about what happened in recent days, so I boldly invited the princess to come here and wanted to hear some enlightenment from the princess."
"Yeah?"
Lin Jinxiao held the long sword in his hand and walked towards him slowly: "Then why don't you let me enlighten you?"
Zheng Haichuan was frightened when he looked at the Emperor's Sword in his hand, but he pretended to be calm and replied: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Highness, I don't dare to do this again because of my humble position. Please forgive me for my sin of humble and rude behavior."
"You still know you are rude?"
Lin Jinxiao slowly pulled out the long sword in his hand, and his eyes gradually filled with anger: "Teasing me, the princess, is a crime worthy of death. It is not an exaggeration for me to insult your three clans."
"Your Highness, please calm down. Your humble position only has respect for the princess. How dare you intend to tease her."
Zheng Haichuan prayed in fear.
"You still dare to quibble."
Lin Jinxiao scolded sternly: "Do you think the princess is too idle and can be tormented by you at will, or do you think the king is easy to fool?
Since you deliberately want to tease people, I will let you have a taste of teasing."
As soon as he finished speaking, he directly put the sword on his leg.
Zheng Haichuan broke out in a cold sweat and the hairs all over his body stood up.
I heard that this cripple likes to pick on people's hamstrings. The young man in Haikang County's Wei Mansion and the little bully in Tong'an Village all had their legs broken by him.
What he is holding today is the extremely sharp Emperor's Sword, which makes people scared just thinking about it.
Zheng Haichuan trembled and begged: "Your Highness, please spare your life. I have no disrespect to the princess because of my humble position. The King of Nandu and the King of Beibin are both in the city. Your Highness forcibly tortured your Majesty. If the news reaches His Majesty's ears, it will be detrimental to Your Highness."
"
He didn't mention those two people, Lin Jinxiao just wanted to scare him, which completely angered him.
Lin Jinxiao thrust his sword directly into his foot without thinking, causing Zheng Haichuan to groan several times in pain.
"Since Zheng Duyou is so sure that those two highnesses can protect you, today I want to see how they can protect the libertine who is teasing my princess."
Lin Jinxiao pulled a piece of handkerchief from the torture rack and wiped the blade of the sword carelessly. The coldness in his eyes was so chilling.
Seeing this, Chu Nanzhi stepped forward and took advantage of the situation to persuade: "If you want to survive, Lord Superintendent, confess the truth. If it is later, I may not even be able to protect you."
As she said that, she brought a handkerchief over, slowly squatted down, inspected the spot where the blood was soaked on Zheng Haichuan's feet, put the handkerchief on his feet, and sighed repeatedly: "This sword is indeed a stab."
It's not serious, but fortunately it didn't hit any vital points. If the Governor is still lucky, he won't know where the next sword will hit."
Zheng Haichuan raised his eyes and stared at the gloomy cold sword in Lin Jinxiao's hand. His whole scalp was numb. He mustered up the courage to yell angrily: "Aren't you and your wife afraid of being struck by lightning when you treat the imperial officials like this?"
"Not afraid."
Chu Nanzhi shook his head calmly: "Compared to the outrageous things you have done over the years, I am just trying my best."
"I haven't done anything outrageous."
Zheng Haichuan looked at her with determination.
"Yeah?"
Chu Nanzhi grinned lightly, and her smile gradually turned deeper: "Then tell me, what is the secret between Mrs. Zheng and Wu Enrong? Do you believe that it has nothing to do with you?"
