Chapter 112 What if it happens?
The captain was very clear about his situation. He knew that as long as he didn't speak, they would have no way to deal with him.
Before Zhao Chengning lost his temper, Xihe spoke up, "Let me guess who it is? Is it Uncle Shun? Uncle Jing? Or Uncle Su?"
Xihe mentioned several names of royal family members in a row, but the captain did not respond.
"Let me think who else is there? That's right!" The little girl jumped up happily, "It seems... there's also King Anyuan."
Everyone saw the captain's face change slightly, it was only for a moment but it was captured.
It seems that it is most likely King Anyuan.
Sanping stared at the captain with an unclear expression, already considering whether to use some unusual means.
Emperor Jingyuan has wanted to take action against Prince Anyuan for a long time, but there must be a reason for this, and this captain is the best witness.
"Oh, there are too many people. I can't remember them all." Xihe pretended to be distressed and turned to Zhao Chengning and said, "Brother, don't interrogate him. There are only so many princes in the imperial city anyway. Just write them all down and let them sign. Who cares which one it is?"
Zhao Zhinan was so happy that he kept agreeing, "I think it's okay. When we get back, we can investigate. No matter which prince committed the crime, it will be blamed on this bastard. Let him die."
Xihe raised his eyebrows and rushed towards Zhao Zhinan. When the two looked at each other, their evil intentions were revealed.
"That's it!"
The two siblings made the decision happily.
Zhao Chengning pursed his lips and tried to hold back his laughter. He even suspected that his sister had been led astray by Zhao Zhinan. How could this trick be so mean?
Letting a coward who loves life and fears death die is an idea even more bandit-like than that of a bandit.
"All right, let's do it. Go ahead and write it, and have him sign it."
Xiao Xiazi took the order and went to the desk beside him. After a while, he wrote a confession. The captain opened his eyes wide and was about to run away, but Zhao Zhinan behind him kicked him quickly. He fell to the ground with his legs spread out. Xiao Xiazi saw the opportunity, went up and pressed the other person's hand, and soon a bright red fingerprint was left.
"The eldest prince."
Xiao Xiazi handed over the confession letter respectfully. Zhao Chengning glanced at it and nodded.
"Okay, let's stop here for today. When we return to Kyoto, I'll hand it over to my father for disposal."
Zhao Chengning picked up Xihe and was about to leave. The captain suddenly panicked and rushed over. Zhao Chengning dodged and held Xihe a little further away.
"No! You are forcing me to confess!"
Zhao Chengning's expression remained unchanged. "Oh, who saw it?"
Xihe chuckled, "Anyway, I didn't see it."
Everyone said, "We didn't see it either."
Sanping smiled and bowed, saying, "I am old and dizzy, and I didn't see anything."
Zhao Chengning nodded with satisfaction. "You were the one who put the fingerprints on it. There's nothing wrong with it. Why are you complaining about it?"
"I……"
The captain looked extremely conflicted. He knew that once he signed the confession, no matter which prince committed the crime, he would have to die.
But he doesn't want to die!
Seeing the time was right, Xihe spoke up, "Big Brother, I remember there was a saying in the book about redeeming sins with merit? It seems like if you do good things, you won't be punished."
Zhao Chengning tapped his sister's nose and continued, "That's true."
The captain's eyes lit up, and he quickly crawled over to the two men, his face full of pleading, "I'll tell you! I'll tell you! It was Prince Anyuan... Prince Anyuan who told me to do this! I'll tell you everything."
Sanping gave Xiao Xiazi a look, and Xiao Xiazi quickly picked up the pen and started taking notes.
The captain spoke for a full quarter of an hour before he explained everything and signed the document formally.
Zhao Chengning took a quick look at it and handed it to Sanping, revealing his first relaxed smile of the day.
Finally it’s solved.
"Okay, everyone is tired today, let's rest early."
The captain confessed everything and fell to the ground like a pile of rotten meat, his eyes fixed on Zhao Chengning. "I have confessed everything. I wonder if Your Highness will let me go?"
Zhao Chengning's expression remained unchanged as he said, "I will keep my promise and not kill anyone."
The captain was immediately overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Zhao Chengning didn't say anything and turned to tease his sister.
He certainly didn't kill him, but whether Emperor Jingyuan would take action or not was not something he, a prince, could control.
"Big brother, you are so dark~" Xihe leaned close to Zhao Chengning's ear and whispered.
Zhao Chengning snorted and laughed, and ordered his men to take the captain away, leaving only his own people behind. "You, too, are not a pushover."
He suddenly remembered that he had just wanted to let his sister see some sinister things, and now he really felt that he was worrying for nothing.
This little ancestor is smarter than anyone else and sees things more clearly than anyone else, but he is just too lazy to say it.
Just as Xihe was about to leave, she heard the conversation between Su Zhongqian and Liu Yuan behind her.
"You're really not going back?"
"Uncle, I've become a useless person for a long time, why should I go back?"
"There are so many great medical experts in the world, there's bound to be one who can cure you."
"Uncle, don't worry. I know my body well. It's unlikely to be cured."
Su Zhongqian wanted to say something, but was afraid of hurting the other person's feelings, so he fell silent, and his already stern face became even colder.
"That...weird uncle, that...miracle doctor said he can cure you, do you want to try it?" Xihe has been worried about Liu Yuan's injury and has not let it go.
"Excuse me Princess, who is this miracle doctor?" Su Zhongqian asked hurriedly when he heard that there was a connection.
"There's a traveling doctor I met last time. He examined my weird uncle's illness and said he could try to treat it." Of course, the so-called traveling doctor didn't exist. Xihe was just talking nonsense in a serious tone. "Do you want to give it a try?"
Before Liu Yuan could say anything, Su Zhongqian quickly agreed, "Try! Let's try! As long as there is a chance, we should give it a try. What if it works?"
Even if there is only a one in a thousand chance, Su Zhongqian will try it. He is reluctant to let Liu Yuan live in the south of the Yangtze River.
Liu Yuan opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, his uncle interrupted him, "Don't worry about it. Just treat the disease well. I'll take care of the Imperial City."
Liu Yuan's words of refusal were stuck in his throat. He couldn't be so cruel under Su Zhongqian's expectant gaze. The words went around in his mouth for a few times before he finally swallowed them. "Okay, then I'll try."
Su Zhongqian strongly requested to meet the miracle doctor, and Xihe quickly winked at Liu Yuan for help.
Where did this miracle doctor come from? It was Xihe herself, but she didn't dare to say so in front of everyone. In the end, Liu Yuan comforted Su Zhongqian and used the excuse that "the miracle doctor doesn't like to be disturbed" to put an end to the misunderstanding.
