Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 628 Interrogation (1)

   Zongren Mansion.

   Dungeon.

   A solitary candlestick glows dimly.

  The third prince Li Hao was lying on the bed, facing inward, counting silently in his heart.

   Fifteen days, today is the fifteenth day.

   According to the time, the body of the Qian family should have been found! I don't know if the people from the Ministry of Punishment have asked Li Chang, and I don't know if Li Chang listened to his instructions and opened the organ on the jade crown to take out the "fake poison"...

  Since three years ago, he has been secretly unafraid of layout, privately hooking up with the Qian family and joining the Jiangnan old clan.

  Li Jingfu had a great fate, and was lucky to escape the assassination that night. Even when he was besieged by the dead, Lu Mingyu led troops thousands of miles to save her husband. The fate of people is really different.

   The same is the prince of the Tian family, he is only a few months younger than Li Jing, but his fortunes are very different.

   The hatred of taking his wife, the hatred of killing his mother, and the unspoken hatred made him hate Li Jing to the core. Killing Li Jing had already become his obsession. To this end, he did not hesitate to include Li Chang's life.

   His feelings for Li Chang are also very complicated. Taking care of Li Chang is already a habit that goes deep into the bone marrow, and he can't change it no matter how much he hates it.

   Over the past few years, he has been very affectionate to Li Chang. It was because he knew that one day he would send Li Chang to Huangquan.

  Only because of the pickled things that Li Chang did in his previous life, it is not wrong to end up like this.

   For more than ten days, he has been held in a solitary dungeon. He doesn't know anything about the outside world. It can only be deduced by guessing which step it has reached...

   In the silent night, the sudden sound of footsteps was particularly harsh.

  Li Hao's heart skipped a beat, and he controlled the urge to turn over and pretended to be asleep.

  Wash!

   This is the sound of the iron lock being opened.

   At this time, pretending to be asleep is over. Li Hao pretended to be awakened, turned over on the narrow couch, frowned, and his eyes were alert and cold: "It's so late, why are Uncle Wang and Master Yao here?"

   The people who came were the Duke of Dongping and Yao Shangshu.

  Dongping County King's face was full of pain, and his eyes showed unbelievable shock: "Li Hao, I really didn't expect that you would kill Li Chang!"

   Dong Dong Dong!

   suddenly hit his chest like a boulder.

  The hidden secret was suddenly revealed, no matter how deep the city was, Li Hao's face couldn't help but change slightly.

   Yao Shangshu said nothing, his eyes fixed on Li Hao's handsome face.

The Duke of Dongping didn't wait for Li Hao's response, and continued in a series of words: "The Qian family was killed, and the body was found in the house of Eunuch Ge. When the Ministry of Punishment arrested Eunuch Ge, Eunuch Ge took poison and committed suicide. Yao Shangshu I personally came to the Zongren Mansion to interrogate the Fifth Prince."

   These things all happened. It was only two days ago.

   Anyway, Li Hao has been locked in a dungeon alone, and he has no idea that Li Chang is really dead. Following Yao Shangshu's instructions, the Duke of Dongping County continued:

   "The fifth prince refused to admit his guilt and wanted to commit suicide by taking poison. Fortunately, someone was watching him all the time, and he was discovered before the poison was imported. The fifth prince did not die, so he explained everything."

"Li Hao, you are really ruthless! In order to get rid of the crime, you coaxed the fifth prince to take the blame for you. He also lied to the fifth prince that the poison was fake. Master Yao has made a test, and the poison is very poisonous. The seven orifices bleed to death in the breath."

   "How can you be so cruel to your brother!"

   The Duke of Dongping was heartbroken. After speaking, his eyes were red and his voice became hoarse.

  Li Hao's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, Jun's face paled slightly, and many thoughts ran wildly in his mind.

   Li Chang is not dead?

   With Li Chang's stupidity, it is not impossible that he was discovered when he was taking poison. Once Li Chang's mouth is pried open, what he has done will be invisible.

  Wait, is what the Duke of Dongping said true, or is he lying to him?

   Li Hao quickly glanced at the distressed and red-eyed Duke of Dongping, and then looked at Yao Shangshu, who was silent beside him.

   Yao Shangshu had no expression on his face, staring straight at himself. It seemed to capture all the changes in his face.

  Li Hao's heart jumped again.

   Wrong!

   They are lying to him!

  Li Chang will not betray him!

   Li Chang should have been poisoned. There is no proof, they are deliberately bluffing him, wanting him to admit guilt.

"Uncle Wang, you know how I treat the fifth brother." Li Hao calmed his mind and slowly opened his mouth: "I admit to the assassination of the prince, and it has nothing to do with the fifth brother. What are you talking about to deceive the fifth brother to convict him? It's absurd to take drugs and things like that."

   "I don't believe a word of this nonsense."

   "Where is Fifth Brother? You bring him to see me. I want to see him now!"

  Dongping County King: "..."

have to! You can't cheat at all! It was all wasted effort just now.

  Dongping County King secretly complained, and subconsciously glanced at Yao Shangshu.

   What to do next?

  Do you want to continue?

   Yao Shangshu calmly returned his eyes, but sighed inwardly.

   With his years of experience in trial, Li Hao was lying just now. It's just that Li Hao is tenacious, quick-witted, and first-class in his pretense. It is difficult and difficult to deceive him into confessing his guilt.

The Duke of Dongping had to continue: "I had someone carefully searched the fifth prince's body and found the mechanism in his jade crown. The fifth prince has already confessed that you gave him the jade crown, and you gave him the poison. You tell him that the poison is fake, and someone will come to save him after taking it. At that time, it can be framed that the queen and the prince sent someone to poison it."

   said, and shouted violently: "The evidence of the crime is conclusive, Li Hao, how dare you deny it!"

   Hearing the word "Jade Crown", Li Hao's eyelids twitched heavily, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

   At this point, however, confession is impossible.

   Li Hao sighed, and his words showed bitterness: "What Uncle Wang said is even more absurd. How can I admit what I haven't done?"

   "Uncle Wang couldn't believe me, so let Li Chang come over and confront me."

  Li Chang has been dead for two days. His body has been dissected and has just been sewn up. How to confront?

   The Duke of Dongping County said angrily: "Li Hao, I want to save you some respect. Don't toast, don't eat and drink fine!"

  Li Hao stared at the Duke of Dongping without speaking.

   Suddenly, Li Hao rushed forward, grabbed the jacket of the Duke of Dongping, and shouted sharply, "Where is Li Changren? Did you kill him?"

  Li Hao's eyes were red and shimmering with a terrifying cold light, as if a wild beast was about to open his mouth and bite his throat.

  Dongping County King shuddered and blurted out: "He killed himself by taking poison, and it has nothing to do with us!"

   Yao Shangshu: "..."
