"Mr. Chen, please save me, beg the prince for me and let me out!"
When Mo Sheng heard the noise, he looked up and saw Chen Yi, his eyes were like those of a hungry wolf that had seen the delicious lamb after being hungry for a long time, with a longing light in his eyes.
He really didn't want to stay in this damn place for a second.
Moreover, as the guard of King Chenliu, he knew very well what this dungeon meant.
He doesn't want to die!
If he was really executed by King Chenliu, then given King Chenliu's character, he would definitely eradicate it, and his family would also suffer.
When lives are at stake, no second-class dignity or face matters.
Only by surviving can you have everything.
Chen Yi sighed and said: "Mo Sheng, it's not that I won't help you. The prince is very angry. It might not be a good thing for him to forget you for a while now."
A full five hundred thousand taels of gold were lost. If King Chen Liu had not been assassinated and injured in advance, and his body could not bear his temper, he would have had to kill people himself.
It's useless to intercede with Mo Sheng now. Instead, it will make King Chen Liu even more angry.
Wu Zhongxian pondered for a moment and said, "Let him go!"
When he first saw this person, Wu Zhongxian's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
This was the only person who survived the scene where the gold was stolen. He was the one who had faced Wuyetian. Keeping him alive would probably expose Wuyentian.
Moreover, with Wuyetian's perfect personality, this person's life, to her, was like new clothes that couldn't be replaced after bird droppings fell on them, and she suffered a lot.
If he were killed, Wuyetian's heartache would be solved.
But at this time, Wu Zhongxian felt that leaving him temporarily might be useful.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. King Chen Liu treated Mo Sheng like this. He was a second-grade master, so he couldn't possibly have no complaints in his heart. And this is what Wu Zhongxian could take advantage of.
"Let it go?"
Chen Yi was stunned for a moment and looked at Wu Zhongxian with some uncertainty. Are you kidding?
The suspicion on Mo Sheng has not been cleared yet!
Apart from him and King Chen Liu, Mo Sheng was the only person alive who knew the gold transportation route.
And you haven’t even asked me yet! It’s not appropriate to let me put it in as soon as I come up!
Mo Sheng also looked at Wu Zhongxian in astonishment. He had met Wu Zhongxian before when Wu Zhongxian was invited to the palace for the first time.
He knew that Wu Zhongxian was the one who cooperated with the prince, and was also the one who gave five hundred thousand taels of gold to support the prince.
But he only regarded Wu Zhongxian as a generous businessman and didn't think he was anything special. He even looked down on this kind of local businessman.
Previously, Chen Yi introduced that Wu Zhongxian was the person entrusted by King Chen Liu to investigate the case. Mo Shengsheng ignored him, which was the most direct evidence that he looked down on Wu Zhongxian.
However, Mo Sheng did not expect that the first sentence this man spoke was not to question himself or accuse himself, but to plead for himself?
Wu Zhongxian shook his sleeves and said with a hint of careless laziness: "He is not a traitor. Keeping him here is not only useless, it is also a waste of our manpower."
"Yes, yes, I am not a traitor!"
Mo Sheng came back to his senses and quickly said: "My life, Mo Sheng, belongs to the prince. How dare I betray the prince?"
It’s not that I don’t dare, it’s not that I won’t.
Wu Zhongxian knew it well. He looked at Chen Yi and said softly: "This person should have been following the prince for a long time, right? Then I believe he has a certain understanding of the prince's methods and temper. If he is really a traitor, he can fake his death to escape.
, it’s okay to flee directly, why come back and suffer the consequences?”
When Chen Yi was about to speak, Wu Zhongxian stretched out his hand to interrupt him, and then said: "I know you want to talk about the prince's control methods, but are those methods more terrifying than torture to death?"
Wu Zhongxian knows best whether Mo Sheng is a traitor.
When the result is known, the inference process should be accurate.
Now this statement sounded very reasonable to Chen Yi.
Indeed, if you escape, you may have a chance of survival, but if you come back, you will most likely die.
And if he himself dies, his family will also die, so if he is really a traitor, why come back?
"But if you just let him go like this, I'm afraid it won't be easy for the prince to explain..."
Chen Yi hesitated. Now that King Chen Liu's wound had cracked and he had just bandaged it and lay down to rest, it would not be good to ask him for instructions now.
Moreover, the princess has also issued an order to let Chen Yi handle matters by himself, and he is not allowed to disturb King Chen Liu with any official business in the past few days.
Wu Zhongxian said: "What the prince wants is gold. As long as he gets back 500,000 taels of gold, any explanation will be fine. If the gold cannot be found, how can I explain it in a way that will be useful?"
"It's a waste of manpower to let him stay in there now. It's better to come out and make meritorious service."
When Mo Sheng heard this, he was so moved that he almost shed tears.
He didn't expect that the person who finally begged for mercy and gave him a hand was actually someone he had never looked at before.
He said nothing more, as long as Mr. Wu could really pull him out and give him a chance to live, then he Mo Sheng would owe Mr. Wu his life, and he would definitely pay it back if he could be useful in the future.
Chen Yi thought about it and realized that this was also the case.
Originally, the prince did not have enough manpower around him, and so many people died that the other manpower could not be returned for a while.
This resulted in King Chen Liu currently having only a second-grade master like Lin Si available.
Since King Chenliu was assassinated, Lin Si has been closely guarding him and did not even dare to go to the toilet, for fear that King Chenliu would be in danger again.
Although there is suspicion on Mo Sheng, the problem is not serious. Let him follow Wu Jingxian!
Chen Yi considered it and asked Mo Sheng to follow Wu Jingxian so that he could test whether they were humans or ghosts.
If there is a problem with Mo Sheng, letting him out now will allow him to relax his vigilance and reveal his flaws.
With Wu Jingxian's ability, if Mo Sheng really has a problem, he will definitely not be able to escape.
After following King Chen Liu for a long time, Chen Yi also learned that he was suspicious of everything.
"Okay! Let Mo Sheng be released first and let him serve his crime. As for the prince, I will be a guarantee."
Chen Yi decided to release Mo Sheng, so he wanted a share of this favor.
When Mo Sheng heard this, he quickly raised his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wu, and thank you, Mr. Chen. Mo Sheng will definitely live up to your trust."
Chen Yi waved to the guard guarding the dungeon and asked him to release Mo Sheng.
"Mo Sheng, since Mr. Wu hopes that you will take the blame and make meritorious service, then you can follow Mr. Wu for the time being and listen to his orders!"
Chen Yi told Mo Sheng to prevent him from being seen by King Chen Liu in the palace and causing King Chen Liu to be upset when he thought about the gold being robbed.
"yes!"
Mo Sheng agreed, and after seeing Chen Yi leaving, he bowed his hands to Wu Zhongxian.
"Master Wu, you saved my life from the dungeon, so I owe you a life. If you have anything to do, just ask me."
