"In addition, when the emperor ordered the Wei family to be exiled, Li Jifeng also gave money to the government officials responsible for escorting them, telling them not to embarrass the Wei family. This shows that their relationship is extraordinary!"
Under the candlelight, Hongli's eyes were cold and terrifying, "Good! It's really good!"
After saying these four words, Hongli didn't say another word. The atmosphere in the Yangxin Hall was so oppressive that it was almost suffocating. Even the secret agent couldn't stand it, and cold sweat kept dripping from his forehead. As for Xiao Wu,
, he has been immersed in the blow of Lan Yi's betrayal and is unable to extricate himself.
When there was a hint of light in the sky, Huang Ying finally arrived with Lan Yi. The latter didn't know what had happened. When he was brought in, his face was full of confusion.
Although Lan Yi had been with Xiao for fifty years, this was the first time she entered the palace. She knelt down nervously and said: "Lan Yi, a commoner girl, has met the emperor. Long live the emperor!" While speaking, she glanced at her secretly.
Xiang Xiaowu wanted to get some information from him, but Xiaowu just lowered his head and didn't even look at her.
"Lanyi, do you know Li Jifeng?" Hongli's question made Lan Yi's heart beat wildly, and his face suddenly turned pale. He lowered his head in panic and said, "The daughter of the people does not know the person the emperor mentioned."
"Really?" Hongli said slowly, "But someone saw Li Jifeng coming in and out of your house late at night and not leaving until dawn. What's the explanation?"
After just asking a question, Lan Yi broke out in sweat. She thought nervously, and finally said after a while: "The civilian girl really doesn't know this person. It should be that the person saw it wrong, or maybe... it's someone from the mansion.
One of the maids knew him, so she quietly brought him into the house."
How could Hongli not see that she was lying? He smiled coldly and said, "I will take you to meet someone."
With that said, he stood up and walked out, followed closely by the spy leader. As for Huang Ying, he walked over and pulled Lan Yi up, saying with a straight face: "Hurry up and go!"
Lan Yi had met Huang Ying several times before, and every time she met, she always greeted her with a smile and a master's wife. She had never spoken so sarcastically as she did today. She broke away from his hand angrily and said, "I can leave on my own."
With that said, she walked over to Xiao Wu, who was still kneeling in the same place, and whispered: "Fifth Master, what on earth is going on?!"
Xiao Wu slowly raised his head, the coldness in his eyes made Lan Yi's heart tremble, and she even had an urge to escape. She suppressed the urge and said: "Fifth Master, what happened, and..."
Her eyes flickered and she asked, "Who is that Li Jifeng?"
Before Xiao Wu could say anything, Huang Ying said: "Master, let's go quickly. The emperor is already in a bad mood. If we linger like this, we will get angry."
Xiao Wu didn't say anything, and just pulled Lan Yi out. The latter's hand hurt from his pulling, and he couldn't help but said: "Fifth Master, please be gentle, you..."
Xiao Wu suddenly turned around and shouted with a ferocious face: "Shut up!"
After knowing each other for more than ten years, this was the first time Lan Yi saw Xiao Wu like this. She was stunned and even forgot about the pain in her arm, letting Xiao Wu drag her away.
All the way to the Shenxing Department, when Lan Yi saw Li Jifeng, whose hands and feet were handcuffed to a wooden frame, covered in blood and various hideous wounds, she couldn't believe her eyes. She just saw it the day before yesterday.
I met him and he was fine at the time, but why did he become like this in the blink of an eye?
Lan Yi hurriedly broke away from Xiao Wu's hand, ran to Li Jifeng, and said nervously and heartbrokenly: "Ji Feng, you... what's wrong with you, why are you like this? Open your eyes and speak, don't scare me!"
Her words made Xiao Wu feel heartbroken. He gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't you say you don't know Li Jifeng? Why do you recognize him at a glance now and look so familiar? What is your relationship with him?!"
Only then did Lan Yi realize his mistake and hurriedly stepped away, but it was too late. He lowered his head and mumbled, not knowing how to answer.
At this time, Li Jifeng woke up and turned around. When he saw Lan Yi, Hongli and others standing in front of him, his expression tightened and he whispered: "Why are you here?"
Lan Yi glanced at Hongli timidly and said, "The emperor brought me here." After saying that, she asked with concern: "Why are you tied up here? What happened?"
Li Jifeng ignored her, stared at Hongli and said sternly: "Emperor Dog, what do you want?!"
"I want you to tell all the truth!" Faced with Hongli's words, Li Jifeng spat at him with blood mixed with blood, gritted his teeth and said: "The truth is that I want to kill you, the dog emperor who harmed innocent people, for the sake of the world.
In addition to a big harm; although I am in the Eight Banners, I am still a Han. If I want to face you, the Tatar Emperor, every day, it would be easier to kill me!"
The spit just fell on Hongli's shoe. Upon seeing this, Huang Ying walked up to Li Jifeng and slapped him in the face, scolding: "How dare you be rude to the emperor!"
Hongli motioned him to step back, looked at Li Jifeng, whose face was covered with blood, and said calmly: "I know you are not afraid of death, but what about your family, do you also want to see them buried with you because of you? Li Jifeng, as long as you
If you are willing to tell the truth, I can spare your family and leave them a way to survive."
A look of struggle flashed across Li Jifeng's eyes, and he quickly turned away and said, "What I said is all the truth. It's up to you to believe it or not."
Hongli nodded slowly and said: "It seems that that person is very important to you, so that you can even ignore the lives of the whole family." After saying that, he shook his head and said: "I am really sad for your parents, wife and children.
Such a cold, heartless, inhumane son, husband, and father!"
At this time, in order to get the report from his subordinates, Kang quickly got up and ran over to salute Hongli, saying nervously: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, although Li Jifeng is very tough, my servant will definitely find a way to pry it open." As he said this, he became anxious again.
He said anxiously: "Besides, this slave just had someone force-feed him a bowl of rice last night, and also gave him a bowl of ginseng soup, which was enough to keep him alive."
Hongli nodded slightly, turned his gaze to Lan Yi, who was wringing his fingers, and said coolly: "Should we say it now, or should we wait until Kang Wei gives you a severe punishment?"
Lan Yi had already been frightened to death when he saw the injuries on Li Jifeng's body and the various torture instruments nearby. Now when he heard Hongli's words, he hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Don't use torture! Don't!"
Under Hongli's close gaze, she said helplessly: "Yes, Minnu knows Li Jifeng, about half a year ago. He said... he likes Minnu very much, and he has always been attentive to Minnu, and then we were together...
Already."
"Did he ask you to ask Xiaowu about the twelfth elder brother?" Hongli's question made Li Jifeng's expression change suddenly, and he stared at Lan Yi nervously, but hesitated to speak.
