Imperial Garden.
After the court meeting, Emperor Wen ordered someone to notify Yun Li and ask him to accompany him for a walk.
The father and son walked in front, and Mu Shun and others deliberately kept a distance from them.
"Has Cui Wenjing not yet recruited?"
Emperor Wen put his hands behind his back and asked Yun Li with a frown.
"No."
Yun Li shook his head slightly. "Cui Wenjing refused to give up his accomplices."
Emperor Wen: "Since Cui Wenjing refuses to speak, let's try another way!"
Another way?
Yun Li looked at Emperor Wen in confusion, "What's your plan, father?"
...
...
"I don't have any clever ideas, but I do have one stupid one."
Emperor Wen smiled and said, "Didn't Lao Liu cheat you? You can also cheat him with Cui Wenjing! Let him pay the silver to redeem Cui Wenjing and his family!"
Um?
Hearing Emperor Wen's words, Yun Li's heart suddenly moved.
Is it still possible?
"Father, this is a brilliant plan!"
Yun Li flattered Emperor Wen first, then said with some concern: "However, I am afraid that the Sixth Prince will not be willing to pay the silver to redeem the person!"
Emperor Wen shook his head and smiled, "If he doesn't want to pay the ransom, he must be worried that Cui Wenjing will give away all the people he has planted in the imperial city. Then he can only think of a way to kill them and silence them!"
Murder to silence someone?
Yun Li was slightly stunned, and then he suddenly realized: "Father, what you mean is to lure the snake out of its hole?"
"right!"
Emperor Wen nodded slightly, "He can either give me the silver or kill me to silence me! No matter what he chooses, it will only benefit you, not harm you!"
Yun Li thought about it and immediately bowed: "Thank you for your guidance, Father!"
I have to say that my father's move was very clever and it solved his current predicament at once.
It seems that I should ask my father for more advice if I am fine!
Compared to my father's experience, I am still too immature.
…
Jingyang Prefecture.
Yun Zheng was stunned when he received the letter sent by Yun Li.
"Old Third, are you... sick?"
Yun Zheng looked at Chen Kuan beside him with a helpless look, and suspected several times that he had seen it wrong.
Facing Yun Zheng's question, Shen Kuan couldn't help but laugh: "Maybe he has gone crazy because of poverty..."
Shen Kuan also found this matter very strange.
Yun Li actually sent someone to send a letter to His Highness, learning His Highness's method and asking His Highness to pay silver to redeem the person.
Cui Wenjing and his family members were given one hundred thousand taels of silver each.
There are thirteen people in the Cui family, with a total of 1.3 million taels of silver.
At the end of the letter, Yun Li did not forget to threaten Yun Zheng that if he did not pay the ransom, he would execute all thirteen members of the Cui family.
He even suspected that Yun Li had drunk too much and wrote Zhang Xu's name as Cui Wenjing.
Otherwise, why would Yun Li be so crazy as to ask His Highness to use silver to redeem Cui Wenjing?
"Maybe the third brother is really crazy because of poverty!"
Yun Zheng just shook his head and smiled, totally unaware of what Yun Li was up to.
Isn’t Cui Wenjing the Prince’s attendant?
That idiot is not his own man, so why should he redeem him and his entire family?
Could it be that Yun Li had forgotten that he had beaten Cui Wenjing in public outside Sifang County?
He wouldn't think...
Um?
As he was thinking about it, an idea suddenly flashed through Yun Zheng's mind.
Damn it!
No way?
Could it be that Cui Wenjing was the spy arranged by someone to be next to Yun Li?
As a result, he was regarded as his spy by the third brother?
this……
It's a bit unbelievable!
"Your Highness, have you thought of something?"
Shen Kuan noticed Yun Zheng's expression and couldn't help but ask curiously.
“I think I understand a little bit.”
Yun Zheng touched his chin and said, "I just don't know if my guess is correct..."
As he spoke, Yun Zheng told Shen Kuan his guess.
Apart from this reason, he really couldn't think of any other reason.
Yun Li wouldn't be so poor that he would just hold someone hostage and ask him to pay money to redeem him, right?
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!
Listening to Yun Zheng's words, Shen Kuan couldn't help but think.
Not to mention, Your Highness's guess is actually possible.
His Highness captured Yun Li's men and asked him to pay a ransom.
Yun Li followed suit and arrested the person he thought was His Highness's spy, and asked His Highness to pay a ransom as well?
Is this what Your Highness means by giving someone a taste of their own medicine?
"Your Highness, General Yu Shizhong sent someone to deliver an urgent letter!"
At this moment, a guard rushed in with a letter in his hand.
An urgent letter from Yu Shizhong?
Could it be that the third brother wants to take action?
The third brother shouldn’t be that crazy, right?
“Bring it up!”
Yun Zheng immediately asked Shen Kuan to bring the letter over.
Yun Zheng took the letter handed over by Shen Kuan and opened it quickly.
However, when he saw the contents of the letter, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
This is the letter sent by Mu Shun.
It's about Cui Wenjing's mess.
Mu Shun received accurate information that Cui Wenjing had indeed been arrested.
All the young and old in the Cui family were thrown into prison.
However, all these people were imprisoned in the Prince's Palace.
Mu Shun followed Emperor Wen to the eunuchs in the Prince's Palace and met Cui Wenjing.
Emperor Wen also asked Cui Wenjing some questions alone, but Mu Shun didn't know what Emperor Wen asked.
He only knew that Cui Wenjing had personally admitted that he was Yun Zheng's spy planted next to Yun Li.
From what Mu Shun learned, Cui Wenjing should not have betrayed the other people that Yun Zheng had planted in the imperial city.
Mu Shun wanted to rescue Cui Wenjing, but Yun Li's people watched Cui Wenjing too closely, so he had no chance at all.
This is the situation.
Anyway, judging from Mu Shun's expression, it was obvious that Mu Shun also thought that Cui Wenjing was Yun Zheng's spy.
“Take a look!”
Yun Zheng handed the letter in his hand to Shen Kuan.
Looking at the contents of the letter, Shen Kuan's eyes suddenly widened.
“This…what is going on?”
Shen Kuan felt like his brain was kind of shutting down.
At this moment, even he began to doubt whether Cui Wenjing was really Yun Zheng's man.
After all, it is not impossible that Yun Zheng has been lurking in the imperial city for many years and has secretly developed some power.
But if Cui Wenjing was really His Highness's man, His Highness shouldn't have had this expression when he learned that Cui Wenjing was arrested!
Shen Kuan rubbed his head and suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.
Looking at Chen Kuan's silly look, Yun Zheng couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, "What else could it be? Cui Wenjing is just trying to gain a chance of survival by taking advantage of the power of the other party!"
If Cui Wenjing said that he was a spy planted by another prince next to Yun Li, with Yun Li's current power, looking at the entire imperial city, no one except his father could save his life.
Only when Cui Wenjing admitted that he was the person behind him could Yun Li be cautious and have a chance to survive.
"Is that so?"
Shen Kuan scratched his head, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"
"What else can we do? Just change it!" Yun Zheng shrugged.
"ah?"
Chen Kuan was dumbfounded again, "Really? This is 1.3 million taels of silver!"
"Cui Wenjing's role is greater than 1.3 million taels of silver!" Yun Zheng smiled, "I suspect that the person behind Cui Wenjing is the mastermind I have been looking for!"
After hearing what Yun Zheng said, Shen Kuan suddenly realized...
