The dark cell was filled with a depressing atmosphere.
Xiao Chen's words were like a thunderbolt in Sun Qianhu's heart, exploding from his forehead to the soles of his feet.
Yes, death is like taking a sip of cold water to yourself.
But if the nine clans are implicated, he will be a lonely ghost who will not be able to see his ancestors after death.
When he thought of his wife, children, and children at home, and of those relatives and friends who were all deprived of their lives because of him, Sun Qianhu's body began to tremble involuntarily.
Sun Qianhu is not a particular person. He doesn't care what others think of him, because he behaves upright and does everything right.
However, if one is saddled with the crime of rebellion and is cursed by the world for generations to come, isn’t the blame being shouldered a bit too much?
Sitting down on the bed, holding his forehead with his hand, Sun Qianhu let out a long sigh.
Seeing Sun Qianhu in this state, Xiao Chen still had a smile on his face.
"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both ends. Obviously, Sun Qianhu chose the former. This is a kind of righteousness, and it is what I admire. Therefore, I take the trouble to explain the truth, just because I don't want a righteous person to
Carrying the charge of rebellion, he died a coward."
"Great justice? What is great justice?" Despite the infinite sadness in his heart, after hearing Xiao Chen's words, Sun Qianhu still turned his back to Xiao Chen and snorted coldly.
"Serving the country with loyalty is a great righteousness; being able to distinguish right from wrong is a great righteousness; turning back in time is a great righteousness." Xiao Chen suddenly raised his voice, and the expression on his face became serious.
"Haha," Sun Qianhu turned around and stood up, "After talking for a long time, you just want me to confess."
"This is not called a confession, this is called a report."
"What's the difference?" Sun Qianhu sneered a few times.
"Let me ask you, what is the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty?"
"The country is strong and dominates the world. Four dynasties come to pay homage to it."
"Then how are ordinary people's lives going?"
"As long as there are no natural or man-made disasters, everyone will have food to eat and every family will have surplus food."
"How about comparing it with more than ten years ago?" Xiao Chen asked again.
Sun Qianhu thought for a moment, with a wry smile on his face: "Things are different now."
"Then, I would like to ask Sun Qianhu, why did he join forces with Huang Anliang to oppose the imperial court?"
"Against the imperial court?" Sun Qianhu suddenly turned around, "I have never thought of opposing the imperial court? Do you think that the crime of rebellion you mentioned is that I want to oppose the imperial court?"
Silently looking at Sun Qianhu who looked confused, Xiao Chen quickly sorted out the thoughts in his mind.
Could it be that these Qianhu households have no idea of Huang Anliang's true conspiracy? They are just smoke bombs deliberately sent out by Huang Anliang, or they are just tools to carry out his orders.
The real core of the conspiracy, these thousands of households, have not been touched at all?
Judging from Huang's confession, Huang Anliang was just colluding with Jin Yiwei to help cover up traces of some ugly activities for Jin Yiwei. From this point of view, Huang's confession is also true, and she was not involved in the conspiracy.
core.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Since there is no objection to the imperial court, I don't understand what Sun Qianhu is still worried about and dare not tell you about Huang Anliang's other explanations to you besides Yanqing Guard."
"At the beginning, we all swore an oath about this matter. If we say it out, it would be called betrayal." Sun Qianhu said.
"Do you know that in this matter, you are just a tool on the surface. Behind Huang Anliang, there is a bigger conspiracy hidden, and this conspiracy is enough to threaten the safety of the court and the safety of the country." Xiao
Chen said solemnly with a serious look on his face.
"Are you fooling me? You said you are just an ordinary captain in Dongchang. How could you know about such a big thing?" Sun Qianhu said a little doubtfully.
"I am indeed an ordinary school captain in Dongchang, but this case was investigated and handled by me alone. Moreover, the Duke of Dongchang even ordered that during the investigation of this case, everyone in Dongchang would do whatever I wanted.
Command." Xiao Chen said calmly.
"So, the master of Jinyiwei was also killed by you?" Sun Qianhu's eyes were full of disbelief.
The person in front of me is too young.
He has a rigorous ideological logic. If the masters of Jin Yiwei were also killed by him, it would be a bit too scary.
How many people in the entire Ming Dynasty can compete with him?
Xiao Chen chuckled: "Are you talking about the two dead soldiers holding the three-foot Qingfeng Sword? They were not killed by me, I still want to get something useful from their mouths. They bitten their mouths
The poison that was placed in it in advance caused death."
"Hahaha..." Sun Qianhu raised his head and laughed.
"Since I was arrested by you, I have been unconvinced. Although I have nothing to say about your delicate analytical skills. But I always thought that if there were not so many captains around and this uniform of Dongchang, let alone
It’s just you, but if there are three or five more of you, you won’t be my opponent.”
"I just found out today that even the top two masters of Jinyiwei lost their lives at your hands. I'm really too arrogant." Sun Qianhu had a trace of embarrassment on his face.
"The world is vast, and there are so many masters. It's just my luck that I didn't meet anyone stronger." Xiao Chen had a smile on his face, but he felt bitter in his heart.
Not to mention others, I am definitely no match for the old guy who taught me martial arts back then. However, after so many years, I don’t know whether he is dead or alive, or whether he is still alive.
Sun Qianhu shook his head: "The facts are the facts, and you don't have to be too modest. I want to ask a question that has nothing to do with the case. Is that okay?"
"Please say."
"Can you tell me your name?"
"It's just a name, what's the secret?" Xiao Chen smiled faintly and looked at Sun Qianhu, "Xiao Chen."
"Xiao Chen? Are you that quick-knife Xiao Chen who has no interest in getting promoted to a higher position?" Sun Qianhu looked at Xiao Chen carefully with a hint of surprise in his eyes, disbelieving.
"Yes, that's me." Xiao Chen smiled lightly.
Sun Qianhu shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Although Xiao Chen used to be a member of the Jinyi Guard, almost all the powerful military attachés in the guard had heard of this name.
It's not that he is famous for handling cases, but his knife is so fast that as long as he takes action, no one has ever escaped from his hands.
The most critical point is that even though he is so powerful personally, his reputation of not wanting to be an official has spread to almost all the guards.
"Unexpectedly, one day, I would fall into the hands of Xiao Chen, the fast knife." Sun Qianhu said loudly.
Xiao Chen didn't say anything, still smiling lightly, as if waiting for his next words.
"Okay, I'll do it. I'll tell you everything I know..."
