Chapter 311 Suspicious

Song Jie pointed at King Yu and said, "Aye, that's him."

He didn't even hesitate.

Then he asked the guard to hand the knife to Song Wenyong: "Kill him."

Everyone: “…”

You are too direct.

Li Jidao was also very surprised. She had always thought that Song Jie was gentle and refined, but it turned out that he was not. He was even more direct than her.

Isn't this considered a surprise attack?

King Yu was naturally shocked by his niece's directness.

Song Fanzhi was a girl. Her brothers had no sons, so the younger brother would take over the throne. But he had a son, so of course he coveted the throne. Now that they had captured Chang'an City, Song Fanzhi was no longer of any use, so he wanted to kill her.

In fact, even if he didn't kill Song Fanzhi, people would still suspect that he wanted to seize the throne, so this was like a louse on a bald head, something that was obvious.

But who in their right mind would say it out loud?

King Yu knelt down and cried out, "Brother, I didn't do that. How could I hurt my own niece?"

He looked at Song Jie and said, "Sanniang, I am your uncle. We have just entered Chang'an City. Why are you excluding dissidents and framing your own uncle?"

Song Fanzhi asked Gu Changqing to bring up the two alive.

Then he said, "This is the witness. Don't say you don't know them. Don't say you don't know. These are not your people."

Song Jie stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the moonlight outside, his eyes dark as he said, "King Yu may not know how powerful I am. I can not only attack people's hearts, I can also use torture."

"If you say you don't know what's going on with these two people, I believe if we arrest your people and ask them, someone will tell the truth."

King Yu shuddered when he heard this, and suddenly raised his head to meet a pair of deep eyes.

This was an unfathomable look that the simple-minded Song Fanwei had never had before.

The face was the same, but this person had an intimidating aura that didn't resemble that of a young girl at all.

"Who are you? You are not Sanniang, you are slandering me."

Song Jie sneered, "I worked so hard to capture Chang'an City, but before I even entered the city, you sent someone to assassinate me. Do you still expect me to treat you the same as before?"

"Uncle, it's time to wake up from your daydream. Even clay figures have tempers."

"This……"

Song Jie was very good at talking. He interrupted King Yu and turned to Song Wenyong and said, "Father, it's very easy to find out. Didn't you just say that you would make the decision for your daughter?"

Song Wenyong looked at King Yu with a sullen face, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

A peacemaker stood up and said, "Princess, could this be a misunderstanding? The prince is your uncle, how could he assassinate you?"

"Oh..." He remembered that Song Jie said he would use torture to interrogate the servants, so everything King Yu had done would definitely be exposed once they were interrogated.

So this excuse doesn't work.

He hastily changed his words: "Perhaps, it was the servants in the mansion who took the initiative to guess the prince's intentions. Princess, you are wise, it is better to find out clearly, so as not to make the relatives sad and the enemies happy."

Li Xingjian looked at Song Jie. It was obvious that Song Wenyong did not want to punish his own brother, otherwise there would be witnesses. If he wanted to kill King Yu, he would have an excuse now, but he did not say anything.

If Song Jie insisted on killing King Yu, he would not be able to achieve his goal and would even have a grudge against Song Wenyong. It would be better for him not to insist on it.

Song Jie suddenly smiled, personally helped King Yu up, and said, "I also said that we are close relatives, how could my uncle treat me like this?"

"I think there must be some villain behind this, someone come here."

She called out to the guards beside her: "Go, Meng Yunchang, Fei Wende, Yuwen..."

She read out the names of five people in total and told the guards to arrest them directly. If anyone resisted, they would be killed without mercy.

And these five people are King Yu's right-hand men.

After getting rid of these five people, King Yu was left alone.

King Yu was a little confused and wanted to ask the guards to come back. Song Wenyong looked at him and said, "How long are you going to protect these people?"

stopped him.

So in the end these five people were caught by the guards, and Song Jie deliberately used words to force and induce them. The five people could not betray King Yu, so they could only take the blame on themselves.

And murdering the king's daughter is a serious crime.

Song Jie did not give face to anyone and directly ordered the guards to kill the five men. Then he hung the heads of the colluders on a wooden rack in the vegetable market.

…………

"You did a great job, my Lord."

Song Jie brought Gu Changqing and others back to the palace where he lived, and Gu Changqing began to flatter Song Jie.

It's not really a compliment.

Song Jie's move was indeed powerful. He caught King Yu off guard and directly pulled out his tooth before he could react.

It would be even more difficult for King Yu to become emperor.

After all, there are no more people available.

Li Jidao sat with Song Jie and whispered, "I think there's something wrong with Song Wenyong. He doesn't really seem to love you that much."

If a father truly loves his daughter, how could he allow someone to kill his daughter and let the evildoer go?

Even though King Yu was his biological brother, he couldn't bear to kill him, but he had to lock him up, right?

But Song Wenyong never started to deal with King Yu.

Although he looked at King Yu with angry eyes, that could also be a look of disappointment.

I hate King Yu for not doing things cleanly and for making trouble.

Or maybe he hated King Yu for being too ambitious.

But none of them meant to help Song Fanzhi stand out.

Song Jie nodded and said, "I find it strange too."

He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Could it be that Song Wenyong doesn't care about Song Fanwei at all and wants to pass the throne to King Yu?"

Are there really people like this in the world?

He has a daughter, but he wants to pass the position to his brother instead of to his descendants?

Li Xingjian shook his head and said, "If he really wanted to pass the throne to King Yu, he should have shown it right from the beginning. Could it be that Song Fanzhi would not help his father and uncle just because he couldn't get the highest position?"

Li Xingjian was not sure about this, as she could not see through Song Fanwei's letter.

But Song Jie accepted everything about Song Fanzhi, including her personality.

Song Jie shook his head and said, "Song Fanwei has never thought about or said she wants to be the Crown Princess. It has always been Song Wenyong who has hinted to her that everything he has will be his in the future."

It doesn't make sense to use your own daughter for a younger brother.

Li Xingjian thought for a moment and said, "I still feel that King Yu is not his choice, but neither is Song Fanzhi."

Gu Changqing suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, why didn't you ask He Zhicong why he wanted to take your credit just now in the palace?"

Song Jie and Li Xingjian looked at each other.

Song Jie smiled and said, "I didn't say it, but Song Wenyong didn't say it for me either."

Li Xingjian nodded: "So, this He Zhicong may have a big problem. We should investigate this person carefully."
