Chapter 705: Self-destruction! (Update 1)
Xie Anjun was caught off guard, and by the time he reacted, Zheng Baosu had already pounced in front of him!
The overwhelming murderous aura frightened Xie Anjun, and he almost instinctively stepped back. However, because he had been kneeling on the ground for too long, his movements became slow.
But at this moment, Zheng Baosu was burning with rage and extremely resentful, and he actually dragged his broken body and grabbed Xie Anjun's arm!
His strength was incredibly great, and the sharp pain came instantly, causing Xie Anjun's face to change suddenly.
"Let me go!"
Xie Anjun was shocked and angry, and immediately struggled to shake Zheng Baosu off. However, how could he, who had lived a life of luxury for many years, be a match for Zheng Baosu?
He felt like his arms were about to break!
Glancing at the guards rushing over from the corner of his eye, Xie Anjun was furious and called for help in panic, "Quick! Pull him away!"
The guards did not expect that Zheng Baosu could move so quickly even though he was injured. After a brief moment of daze, they hurriedly quickened their pace and moved forward - Xie Anjun didn't care, but this was in front of His Majesty!
The next moment, two guards took the lead in pressing down Zheng Baosu's shoulders and grabbed him to pull him away.
Zheng Baosu's two fists were no match for four hands.
Xie Anjun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He stared at Zheng Baosu, hatred welling up in his eyes - if this bastard hadn't done so many ridiculous things, how could he have been implicated! ?
He had spent so much effort to get him a good position, but instead of staying there properly, he was only thinking about scheming for personal gain!
Lying about military intelligence, falsifying military achievements...this Zheng Baosu is really crazy!
Zheng Baosu also noticed Xie Anjun's contemptuous and resentful look at this moment.
He almost laughed out of anger.
——Xie Anjun actually dared to look down on him! ?
An incompetent sickly person! But he relied on his good father to get to where he is today. If he were really put on the battlefield, he would have died long ago!
In anger, Zheng Baosu went crazy and turned his head to bite Xie Anjun's hand hard!
"ah!"
Xie Anjun screamed.
The next moment, Zheng Baosu actually bit off one of his fingers!
Blood splattered everywhere!
Zheng Baosu was shaking with pain all over and immediately fell to the ground wailing in agony. He held his hand and looked at the bloody wound, his brain felt like it was going to explode.
"Crazy! You're crazy!"
Xie Anjun murmured, his heart filled with hatred and fear, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
Eunuch Li frowned and immediately stepped forward to rebuke him, "Your Majesty, you were so crazy before! How outrageous!"
Zheng Baosu had been controlled and was kneeling on the ground in a panic, unable to move.
However, he laughed happily, with a hideous and twisted smile of satisfaction on his face.
"You want me to die? You have to ask me if I agree!"
Since he can't survive, Xie Anjun can't expect to have an easy life either!
If the news of a broken finger gets out, Xie Anjun will definitely become a laughing stock in the entire capital!
How could Xie Anjun not know?
He was so angry and hateful that he wanted to cut Zheng Baosu into pieces!
But he couldn't move, not even a single step.
——He is afraid.
Zheng Baosu has gone crazy!
Who wouldn't be afraid of a madman?
We must resolve this issue quickly!
Thinking of this, Xie Anjun's mind raced, and he forced himself to calm down quickly. Then he turned around and kowtowed heavily to Emperor Mu Wu, with tears streaming down his face.
"Your Majesty! This man is so bold! He is so presumptuous in front of Your Majesty! He deserves the death penalty! Your Majesty! You must not get around him so easily!"
Emperor Mu Wu slightly raised his eyelids.
Xie Anjun felt a chill in his heart when he saw that indifferent look. The words of accusation in his mouth were unconsciously stuck in his throat, and his originally hoarse voice gradually became quieter.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Emperor Mu Wu said calmly, "The trial hasn't even finished yet, how can we just deal with it so hastily?"
Xie Anjun's whole body froze, and his blood seemed to have congealed.
How could he forget this most crucial point!
He endured the severe pain from the wound on his hand, but dared not say another word. There was only one thought left in his mind.
——We must not let Zheng Baosu talk nonsense!
However, just as this thought flashed through his mind, Zheng Baosu's dry and angry voice came from behind him.
He grinned ferociously and spat out a mouthful of blood, word for word.
"Why are you pretending? Xie Anjun, you wish I would die immediately, so that you can feel at ease, right?"
Xie Anjun suddenly turned around, looking fierce but weak: "I don't know what you are talking about! I have no grudge against you, but you——"
"No grudges or hatred?"
Zheng Baosu burst into laughter as if he had heard a huge joke.
The entire hall echoed with his strange and sarcastic laughter, which made it even more creepy.
Zheng Baosu gnashed his teeth and cursed:
"If you really want to cut off your relationship with me, then first spit out the 370,000 taels of silver that I sent to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion!"
Xie Anjun’s scalp exploded!
He retorted reflexively, cursing loudly: "Don't spit blood on me! When have I ever taken a penny from you? Zheng Baosu, you have committed many crimes, and you are about to die because of your greed! Don't think of dragging others into this—"
"You don't recognize it?"
Zheng Baosu sneered.
Xie Anjun's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The reason why he dared to deny it directly was because he was confident that he had not left any evidence, but now Zheng Baosu's tone made him feel uneasy.
Sure enough, the next moment, Zheng Baosu continued to throw down thunder.
He slowly raised his head and looked at Emperor Mu Wu, with a strange smile on his face.
"Don't you want to know where all this silver comes from?"
Xie Anjun's heart suddenly sank!
He looked at Zheng Baosu in disbelief, then quickly looked away when he realized he had lost control of himself. However, his forehead was already covered in cold sweat.
——Zheng Baosu is really going to fight to the death!
Doesn’t he think about the fact that once he opens his mouth, it won’t just be Xie Anjun who will be implicated!
How many people are there in this court?
However, at this moment, Xie Anjun couldn't say a word.
He didn't even care about the severe pain in his stump. He just shivered slightly, his clothes soaked with sweat.
My heart is beating like a drum!
Emperor Mu Wu raised his eyelids and seemed to finally show some interest.
"oh?"
Zheng Baosu's spirit had actually collapsed.
Ever since he was inexplicably arrested and escorted all the way to Beijing, he had suffered a lot of pain and torture. He was already in extreme pain, and then what happened last night directly broke down his psychological defenses.
He was not a resourceful person, but he had come this far with the support of others.
Normally, when he encountered enemy troops with more people, he would turn around and run away out of fear for his life. How could he withstand such twists and turns?
So, he didn't want anything else, he just wanted revenge!
He grinned and spoke in a sarcastic tone -
"All of this is of course thanks to the loyal and brave Marquis. Without his strong support, how could I, a mere person, get so many supplies and soldiers and sell them to Wazhen in exchange for millions of silver coins?"
