Although summer is now approaching and the weather is getting hotter, the capital is actually quite cool at night.
But cold sweat oozed out from Guan Zhiwei's forehead. He swallowed and said with difficulty: "Your Highness, what does this mean? I am loyal."
"Lord Guan."
Sanbao, who had been standing behind Li Chen, spoke.
He said sadly: "It's meaningless for you to quibble now. Your Highness came here personally to give you a decent choice. When you mentioned the time Lord Guan worked for the East Palace just now, you told Lord Guan,
Your Highness still misses this old relationship, and I hope you won’t waste His Highness’s kindness.”
Guan Zhiwei's expression was stiff and his body was trembling.
He didn't speak.
I don’t know whether it’s because I don’t dare or I don’t know what to say.
Seeing that Li Chen didn't speak, Sanbao continued: "Master Guan, do you still remember to ask you to carry out the task of counterinsurgency?"
"of course I remember."
Guan Zhiwei smiled forcefully and said: "The mission was completed satisfactorily."
"It's just too perfect."
Sanbao sneered: "It's not just you. Xu Changqing and Zheng Baorong both received the same mission. It's just that the destinations of the three of you are different. But both of them failed. Only where you went was full of harvests. Mr. Guan
Don’t you think it’s strange?”
"That doesn't mean I'm a mole!" Guan Zhiwei suddenly shouted.
"Guan Zhiwei!"
Sanbao seemed to have lost his patience and said coldly: "Are you still thinking of taking chances? If the Zajia family has wronged you, will His Highness still wrong you!?"
"You told Zhao Xuanji immediately after getting the news, and Zhao Xuanji moved everyone just in case, but just because he wanted to protect you, he only left the people from the place you were going to.
Use the lives of those people to ensure your safety."
"But he was so clever that he was mistaken for his cleverness. I didn't expect that it was exactly this way that exposed you."
"You and Zhao Xuanji didn't expect that we already had many places where he hid the rebels, right? The people at all the places have been changed, except for the Hualong Taoist Temple you went to, where the people took the stolen goods. How do you explain it?"
"Also, over the years, your salary has been so small that you can support your family, provide for your elders, and still have enough money to support your brothers and sisters. When did the salaries of Daqin officials become so rich?"
The more Sanbao talked, the uglier Guan Zhiwei's face became.
Finally, Sanbao sneered and said: "Your Highness is here today just because of past friendship. If you continue to make excuses out of luck, don't blame the Za family for using Dongchang's methods on you."
Anyone who knows Dongchang’s methods will understand.
There is no need for people who don’t understand to understand.
Guan Zhiwei understands it very well.
So he knelt down on the spot.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, forgive me, Your Highness!!!"
Guan Zhiwei burst into tears and smashed his head on the ground as if he was dying. He said with tears: "Wei Chen accepted Zhao Xuanji's funding when he was still a Jinshi. At that time, he thought it was nothing, because all Jinshi would
Receive such a grant.”
"But who would have known that as Wei Chen entered the court and became an official, his official position became higher and higher, and there were more and more people. Wei Chen also thought about refusing, but Zhao Xuanji refused, and even had people threaten Wei Chen.
If you accept it once, you will die. If you accept it a hundred times, you will die. I only accepted it because I had no choice."
"Actually, Wei Chen is also very scared inside and wants to get away from it all, but a big mistake has been made and Wei Chen really has no choice."
