Chapter 126 The Emperor Can't Save You
Hao Fei was tied up and taken to the West Factory. He thought he was going to suffer inhumane torture, and he had already gritted his teeth and made mental preparations, but he was invited directly to Xiao Chen's study, and he was untied...
"Come here, prepare the food and drink. I'll have a drink with General Hao." Xiao Chen asked Hao Fei to sit down, with a very kind attitude.
He is a different person than he was just now.
"Eunuch Xiao, this matter..." Hao Fei hesitated, unable to guess what Xiao Chen wanted to do?
"Don't talk about this matter, General Hao, but have you married yet?" Xiao Chen chatted with him about the daily life.
"Leading troops to fight outside all year round, busy with official duties, no time to get married." Hao Fei had no choice but to follow his words and chat.
"Well, the thief is still alive, so what is the family? General Hao forgets his selfishness, he is worthy of being the emperor's favorite general." Xiao Chen nodded in admiration, but then changed the topic, "That's fine, save worry."
"Eunuch Xiao, I want to see the emperor!" Hao Fei heard Xiao Chen's implication, and suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
"Hao Fei, it's too late for you to see the emperor now." Xiao Chen sighed, this guy, what a pimple.
Haven't figured out the situation yet, dear?
The emperor can't save you now!
"The emperor will return my innocence!" Hao Fei said loudly.
"We have made such a big commotion, do you think the emperor doesn't know about it? If you are innocent, he would have sent someone to fetch you long ago without waiting for you." Xiao Chen had no choice but to say it clearly.
Hao Fei was at a loss for words.
"According to the laws of the Great Zhou, those who attempt to assassinate princes and princes should be punished according to the theory of treason." Xiao Chen said lightly, "Those who confess their guilt and repent, the Ministry of Punishment may sympathize with the virtues of heaven and reduce it to five horses. If someone pleads for mercy, the emperor may issue a decree of favor and cut him in half instead."
Hao Fei's face turned pale instantly.
"Don't think about it, no one can save you. In fact, I have no grievances or grudges with you. I just did something for the emperor. You probably heard that the emperor almost ordered me to commit suicide the day before yesterday... Hehe, actually you and I It's all the same sad reminder, you have come to this point, I won't make trouble, but it's kind of sad."
"But even though I sympathize with you, I can't help you. All I can do is to make you live more comfortably before you die, and make you feel better when you die, with as little suffering as possible."
These words of Xiao Chen really came from the heart, and the expression on Hao Fei's face gradually changed from panic to sadness, from sadness to calm...
When the food and drink arrived, Xiao Chen personally poured a glass of wine for Hao Fei, "Your today may be my tomorrow, we brothers share the same fate, how about one?"
Hao Fei raised his glass and drank it down, wiped his mouth, and sighed deeply, "Eunuch Xiao, I was rude and offended before, and you are a large number of adults, don't take offense."
"No wonder, tell me what you have to do, I will try my best to help you." Xiao Chen said.
"I've heard for a long time that Mr. Xiao is courageous, responsible, and loyal enough. Brother didn't believe it at first, but now he is convinced." Hao Fei drank another glass with Xiao Chen, this time it was a toast.
Without waiting for Xiao Chen to ask, he dumped the beans in the bamboo tube, and explained the whole process of assassinating the prince. Maybe he was dying, so he couldn't vomit.
It was Gong Shouli who found him, and asked him to select dozens of capable men to assassinate a person. He didn't say who it was, but just dipped his finger in tea and wrote the character "东方东" on the table.
He was so frightened and stupid at the time, but Gong Shouli wrote the emperor's emperor's character again.
It’s good to be successful, but it doesn’t matter if you fail, just do it with confidence and boldness. In short, your credit must be great, greater than all the credits you have made before combined!
Don't worry, at this moment, only the heavens and the earth know that you know and I know, so who would dare to suspect that you and I can't do it?
This matter is done, and there are more important things to be done by you in the future...
"Lord Xiao, you still rewarded me with a glass of wine and said so many heart-warming words to me, but that guy Gong Shouli... I know you and him have never been on good terms, or I would bite him before I die ?" Now Hao Fei doesn't hate Xiao Chen, nor does he dare to hate the emperor, but he hates Gong Shouli to the bone.
"It's useless." Xiao Chen shook his head, "You should take care of it yourself, write a confession later, and I'll show it to the emperor. If you want to die more happily, don't show any trace of resentment." Come on, don't involve that bastard Gong Shouli either."
"Well, I always listen to Master Xiao." Hao Fei knew that Xiao Chen's words were good.
He's not actually stupid.
It's just that no matter how smart a person is, when they are about to die, they always want to fight for a chance to survive. Once they are completely desperate, they will accept their fate.
"Boss is amazing, he confessed everything in one banquet." Wei Yuntian's admiration for boss is really torrential, and it has been continuous.
"Hmph, the evidence is so conclusive, can he do it without recruiting?" Liu Mofeng was somewhat dissatisfied that he didn't get the opportunity to extract a confession by torture.
"Boss, have you explained everything to him?" Zhuge Xiaosheng was not worried about his confession.
"Well, I originally wanted him to admit that he is a member of the Profound Sky Association, but I thought I'd better not be smart, let the emperor say this." Xiao Chen said.
"Boss, there is something I don't know if I should say it or not?" Ye Baiqing said suddenly.
"If you fart, let it go!" Xiao Chen is not in a good mood now.
"Hehe, have you noticed that everything our boss does, every great contribution he makes is to hinder the emperor." Ye Baiqing smiled, "boss, you are the emperor's nemesis."
"But my boss has always been loyal to the emperor and his old man." Xiao Chen sighed, can you blame me for this?
"As a king, one should avoid being stubborn and suspicious. Li Wanjiang has both. Such a king is not worth following." Zhuge Xiaosheng was talking about Li Wanjiang, but he seemed to be implying Xiao Chen.
"It's better to follow the boss, the boss doesn't have these two problems." Ye Baiqing deeply agreed.
"It's a pity that the boss is not a king." Wen Shan said long.
"So even though we are all dragons and phoenixes among men and unparalleled warriors in the country, we are also useless as heroes." Wei Yuntian sighed.
"What the hell are you boys telling me this at this time?" Doesn't Xiao Chen know what they want to say?
"The words are rough and the rationale is not rough. We follow you not for any purpose, but to leave a name for the ages." Ye Baiqing is not small in ambition.
"Not for you, but for the common people." Zhuge Xiaosheng suddenly said a particularly awesome sentence.
Cut... Everyone booed.
The boss Xiao Chen has the identity and qualifications to be an emperor, but he is unwilling to be an emperor.
This made Ye Baiqing and the others very helpless.
So as long as I think about it, I have to persuade him a few words, to persuade him to change his mind.
But Zhuge Xiaosheng said that this matter is not in a hurry, and it can't be in a hurry, because the time is far from ripe, and when the time is right, there is no need to ask the boss's opinion, just add a yellow robe to him and it will be done!
However, it seems that there is still a long way to go before this lofty goal.
Let's talk about this matter first.
