"I've already confessed, so why, why are you still torturing me like this? Isn't the end result just death? I'll tell you everything, just don't let her come again!"
Zhou Cheng glanced at the dark horse in surprise.
I never expected that.
Is this dark horse really that cunning?
With just a little torture, the other party started crying and begging to confess?
"Young master, I didn't expect this either. Perhaps this is my talent?" Black Horse smiled modestly.
Zhou Cheng nodded approvingly, pushed open the door to the torture chamber, stood in front of the deputy guard who was crying uncontrollably, and said in a deep voice, "Didn't you specifically ask to see me? Now you can talk."
"I'll talk, I'll talk... After I'm done, you'll give me a quick death."
"I was ordered by the Marquis to gather information. The Marquis heard that General Zhou possesses an extremely terrifying weapon, and he ordered me to pretend to offer help in his time of need, but in reality, to steal General Zhou's weapon."
"Then we'll find another opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to General Zhou and you all."
"Madam knows nothing of these things. Even now, she has no idea about the troubles that have befallen the Zhou family..."
"And another thing, I overheard the Marquis saying in his study that he was planning to trick the Madam into going to the capital as a hostage. The Zhou family values loyalty and righteousness, and they would never stand by and watch the Madam die."
"With His Majesty now having the Lady as a weakness and having taken away your weapons, you and General Zhou will surely act timidly. At that time, the Marquis will have rendered a great service to the country and will be highly valued by His Majesty..."
“............”
The deputy guard dared not mention Cheng Xianyi's cruelty again. He recounted everything that the Marquis of Pingyang had done, without hiding anything, only hoping for a peaceful death.
The eldest son-in-law of the Zhou family, who lives far away, is truly outstanding!
Not only did they kick someone when they were down, but they also betrayed the Zhou family.
They even dared to imprison their eldest sister and send her to His Majesty as a hostage!
even,
All the kindness shown to his elder sister over the years was for ulterior motives. In reality, the two-faced Marquis of Pingyang had long planned to kill his elder sister and promote that slender-waisted, shapely-buttocked maid to the position!
"If you dare to utter a single falsehood in what you say, my young master will tear you to pieces!" Black Horse was terrified.
"Young Master Zhou, everything I said is true."
"The Marquis has outwardly obeyed his wife all these years, but in reality he has long been preparing his backup plan. He is certain that the Zhou family cannot defeat the imperial court, and he wants to climb up the social ladder by stepping on his wife's life."
The deputy guard wished he could tear his heart out to prove the truth of these words.
Zhou Cheng's face turned cold, and a murderous intent began to rise in his eyes.
Marquis of Pingyang!
Back then, because of her pursuit of Lin Jiaoyun, the eldest sister was deeply disappointed in herself. It was at this time that the considerate and affectionate Marquis of Pingyang took advantage of her vulnerability and tricked her into marrying far away to Pingyang City.
The Zhou family had always disagreed with the marriage, but they couldn't persuade the eldest sister to marry far away out of spite.
Zhou Cheng had tried to persuade her, but whenever he tried, his older sister would bring up Lin Jiaoyun.
For those three years, in order to obtain the system's reward, his mind was always on Lin Jiaoyun. Before receiving the reward, all his empty explanations were nothing more than a cover-up for his incompetence.
In the end, the eldest sister still got married out of spite.
"When my eldest sister decided to marry far away, 20% was due to the sweet talk of the Marquis of Pingyang, and 80% was due to me. She treated me so well, how could she bear to see me fawning over Lin Jiaoyun without any dignity?"
"As long as I don't give up on Lin Jiaoyun, she will never be able to eat or sleep in peace."
"I decided to avoid seeing it and going to Pingyang City to avoid getting annoyed."
Thinking this through, Zhou Cheng suddenly looked up and immediately gave the order: "Dark Horse—"
