"ah--"
"ah!!!"
"My Lord, spare my life!"
Lin Jiang's screams rang out one after another.
Tie Niu held the water and fire stick and dropped it rhythmically.
There are also some tricks to beating with a stick. Normally, it injures the skin but not the bones, and uses a subtle force. It can make the prisoner extremely painful without damaging the foundation.
Gu Yuan watched from a distance.
I was also scared.
It seems that it has definitely failed.
But if it was discovered that Lin Jiang had drugged him, he would surely die.
Given Lin Jiang's personality, he will definitely tell people about him.
By this time, the Yulin Army should have captured him.
How could it be just a beating?
"What's going on?"
"I heard that the prince's dinner was spilled."
Um?
Knocked over?!
Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes.
How could there be such a coincidence?
But what is certain is that it should be fine.
The inner house is directly behind the courtyard.
Ning Que and Emperor Feng were sitting on the second floor.
You can see what's happening outside through the window.
Emperor Feng was playing with the jade bottle in his hand.
"Is this a crested red?"
"Um."
"This bastard is so brave!"
Emperor Feng's eyes were cold and full of murderous intent.
From a distance, I looked at Gu Yuan outside the courtyard.
His patience with Gu Yuan was limited.
To murder a prince is a capital crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the clan!
"Your Majesty, there's no need to be angry."
"how?"
"Gu Yuan's actions are simply desperate." Ning Que sat calmly, smiling, "Ever since he was deposed, his mental state has been somewhat problematic. I think he's on the verge of hysteria. People like him are actually easier to deal with."
"rational."
Ning Que looked at Lin Jiang who was howling in the courtyard.
"Actually, there's one thing Gu Yuan did right, which is not to waste a single grain of food. Even people should be used to their full potential."
"Gu Yuan and even the Gu family are nothing to worry about."
"The most troublesome person now is King Qi."
"Lin Jiang is just a chess piece." Ning Que smiled confidently. "Once we get to Linzi, Gu Yuan and the King of Qi will definitely have closer ties. As long as Lin Jiang can get some information, it will be of some value."
"Very good."
Emperor Feng nodded with satisfaction.
He looked at Ning Que, feeling deeply moved.
Ning Que has a mind beyond his peers.
He was quite smart even when he was young.
His scheming and cunning are unfathomable.
When he was in the military camp, Ning Que often said shocking things.
Emperor Feng also learned a lot from him.
This time, Ning Que behaved very steadily.
Facing Gu Yuan's poison, he remained so calm.
He quickly thought of using Lin Jiang as a spy.
As a chess piece to overthrow King Qi!
This is easier said than done.
After all, Ning Que had to control his emotions.
"Don't you want to use this opportunity to kill Gu Yuan?"
"There's no point in even thinking about it." Ning Que spread his hands and said calmly, "This time, there's only one witness, Lin Jiang. Gu Yuan, that beast, will definitely deny it. If the case is handed over to the Dali Temple, I'm afraid he'll be acquitted. Besides, I don't even care about a mere Gu Yuan."
"That's right." Emperor Feng nodded in appreciation. "You and I are brothers who are destined for great things. We cannot let personal grudges hinder us. Only by distinguishing between the primary and the secondary can we achieve hegemony."
"Um."
Ning Que nodded in agreement.
This is actually not just about serving the emperor.
The same was true for emperors of all dynasties and even other countries.
The emperor must give up personal feelings and strengthen the public family!
We cannot sacrifice public interests for personal ones!
The emperor was supreme, holding the utmost power. If he acted based on his personal likes and dislikes, it would be disastrous for the nation. This wasn't to say the emperor couldn't have likes and dislikes, but rather that he must prioritize the interests of the nation.
If the emperor likes a minister and promotes him repeatedly regardless of the law, and even if he commits a serious crime, the emperor will pardon him, is this a good thing?
There were many imperial censors in the court, all of whom were ministers of remonstration. They often embarrassed the emperor, and the most representative of them was Ouyang Zheng. If the emperor stripped him of his rank just because he disliked him, would that be a good thing?
All famous emperors in history are basically of this type. After all, ancient emperors all possessed a certain divine nature, which is exactly what the saying "Heaven is cruel and treats all things as straw dogs" means.
Emperor Feng stood up.
He looked back at the courtyard.
At this moment, Lin Jiang had been knocked unconscious.
Several people dragged him back.
Ning Que's plan will probably succeed!
…
…
At night.
Lin Jiang lay on the haystack.
He hums from time to time.
My butt is burning with pain now.
There's not even any water to drink.
Slaves these days have no human rights.
No one will care about him at all.
They had always disliked Lin Jiang.
Now he actually knocked over the prince's dinner!
Isn't this courting death?
Crunch...
The bamboo door was slowly opened.
Lin Jiang raised his head with difficulty.
Then I saw Gu Yuan, dressed in black, walk in.
He casually threw the two desserts into the straw.
"Eat it."
"Gu Yuan, it's you!" Lin Jiang opened his bloodshot eyes and said angrily, "How dare you, you beast, hurt me? Didn't you say it was a laxative? How can it be highly poisonous?!"
"Oh, wrong one."
"Fuck you!" Lin Jiang was furious. If it weren't for the pain, he would have slapped him twice. He shouted angrily, "How could you be wrong? I think you just want to use me to poison Ning Que and then put the blame on me!"
Gu Yuan sat calmly on the wooden stool and crossed his legs.
He looks like he is in control of everything.
