Chapter 25
Lu Zhaozhao was a little surprised: "Master Wang was captured and brought to justice so quickly?"

"He was caught early in the morning!" Liu Baoyuan said, "But he has a tough mouth and refuses to say anything!"

"I'll go over and take a look!" Lu Zhaozhao.

When the two of them walked outside Master Wang's cell, they saw Master Wang sitting on the haystack with his eyes closed and taking a nap, while Xiao Yihan was pacing back and forth angrily.

"...The matter has come to this, whether you say it or not, it will be difficult to escape in the end. It is better to say it outright. Maybe the emperor will spare your life because of your good attitude in admitting your mistake..."

"..." Mr. Wang.

"Besides, we have been working together for several years. Why don't you hope that I will torture you in the end?" Facing Mr. Wang who remained silent all the time, Xiao Yihan became more and more angry as he spoke: "Your master behind the scenes has been connected to the police." Killing four officials, including your son-in-law, don’t you really want to say something?”

Mr. Wang, who had always closed his eyes and fell asleep, heard this and moved his eyelids slightly.

Seeing this, Xiao Yihan hurriedly said: "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your family, lest one day the other party will attack them in order to completely avoid future troubles!"

"There is no one behind the scenes!" Mr. Wang's dry voice escaped from his lips.

"..." Xiao Yihan.

Do you think I will believe it?

"The other party wants to kill us because it is a personal grudge. There is no one behind the scenes as you say!" Mr. Wang slowly opened his eyes and said firmly.

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Xiao Yi said coldly: "Why didn't the murderer kill other courtiers, but you who were responsible for building the Lingnan River Embankment eight years ago? Don't tell me, this is a coincidence!"

"It's just a coincidence!" Master Wang said.

Xiao Yihan almost laughed angrily: "Since it's a coincidence, tell me, why did you intercept the letter sent at full speed from Lingnan? You wanted to cover up that you were greedy for money to build the river embankment, which caused a few heavy rains to destroy it. Is it true that the river embankment collapsed, causing the surrounding people to be displaced?"

Mr. Wang's eyes dodge: "I don't know what you are talking about?"

"Even now, you are still pretending!" Xiao Yihan took out the letter from his sleeve and threw it into his arms: "After learning about the relationship between the five of you, I sent people to Lingnan to investigate , but before I arrived in Lingnan, I met the refugees first, and then, I got this letter in your arms!"

Mr. Wang looked at the letter in his arms, his fingertips tightened slightly, but he never picked it up.

"When you were greedy for money and used shoddy goods to build river embankments, did you think that Lingnan had good weather every year, and if you wait ten or twenty years, even if a flood breaks out and destroys the river embankments, you can still think that it is because of the good weather. It's in disrepair, but the weather didn't work out what you wanted. In just eight years, heavy rains fell suddenly in Lingnan, and the river embankments you built were washed away!" Xiao Yihan felt that it was thanks to his magnanimity, otherwise he would have to slap him a few times now: "You guys Because of your own selfish interests, you have destroyed so many homes and displaced so many people. Don’t you wake up from nightmares when you wake up in the middle of the night?”

"..." Mr. Wang's pale lips pursed slightly.

"And now, there happens to be an opportunity to make amends for your past mistakes. I hope you don't miss it in vain!" Xiao Yihan stared at him with stern eyes: "Name the person behind the scenes. Not only will you be able to make up for your past mistakes, but you will also be able to pay back your mistakes." Damn it, the displaced people will get justice!"

Lord Wang avoided his gaze: "There is no one behind the scenes!"

Xiao Yihan was completely offended and laughed: "You may still know something. After taking you back to Dali Temple, I personally led people to search the residences of the five of you. The silver found was far from being corrupted. One-tenth of the money, since you said there was no mastermind behind it, then tell me, where did the remaining silver go?"

"..." Mr. Wang opened his mouth, and finally said: "... There is no one behind the scenes!"

"You are really ignorant!" Xiao Yihan scolded.

Lu Zhaozhao stepped up and walked into the cell: "Your master behind the scenes is going to kill you and silence him, and you are still protecting him like this. Then I might as well make a bold guess as to the reason!" The slightly familiar voice made Wang The adult was stunned for a moment, and then quickly looked over.

After carefully observing her breathing for a few times, he said with great certainty.

"It's you!"

Lu Zhaozhao smiled: "Yes! It's me! I didn't expect to meet again so soon, right?"

Mr. Wang's expression suddenly became particularly ugly: "You set a trap for me!"

"What Mr. Wang said is really unfair!" Lu Zhaozhao's smile did not change and he walked slowly to him: "Didn't I help you, Mr. Wang, to successfully escape the bloody disaster?"

"You, you..." Wang was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

Lu Zhaozhao ignored his unpredictable expression and said with a smile: "The topic has gone far, let's continue the topic just now!"

"..." Mr. Wang calmed down his emotions, turned his face away, and did not look at her.

"As I just said, your master behind the scenes wants to kill you and silence you, but you still work so hard to protect him. Then there is only one possibility..." Lu Zhaozhao turned to where he could see him and continued: "...His status is higher than yours, and not even a little bit higher!"

"..." Mr. Wang looked away again.

"You are so afraid of looking at me. It seems that I guessed it right!" Lu Zhaozhao chuckled: "Then I will continue to guess!"

"..." Mr. Wang's fingertips on his legs continued to tighten, as if he could hide his inner uneasiness.

Lu Zhaozhao remained calm and took in his reaction completely: "If you are an ordinary courtier and you confess him, once it is confirmed, the emperor will definitely execute him. You have no worries unless the other party is the prince..."

"..." Mr. Wang trembled suddenly.

"..." Xiao Yihan.

How dare she say it!
It’s just...

Not afraid of death!

Although……

He also had this speculation in his mind, but he didn't dare to say it without any evidence!
after all……

Misfortune comes out of your mouth!

"When a prince makes a mistake, he will usually be imprisoned instead of executed directly, so you are afraid that once you expose the other person, he will do his best to retaliate against your family after he regains his freedom in the future!" Lu Zhaozhao said word by word! : "It is precisely because of fear and worries that even if you know that the other party wants to silence you, you still dare not rashly confess him!"

Mr. Wang bit his lower lip fiercely, and then said: "This is all your guess! I still said what I said, there is no one behind the scenes, the money was embezzled by the five of us, the documents and letters submitted by Lingnan It was us who intercepted it, just to hide it from the truth. As for where the rest of the money went, it was naturally spent by us on weekdays!"
