Zhao Zhe was crying with tears and snot. He caught a glimpse of Xie Anjun out of the corner of his eye and immediately pointed at him as if he had given up everything!
"Yes, it was the Loyal and Brave Marquis! He forced me to do everything!"
Xie Anjun felt a sharp pain in his head, as if a string was beating wildly, and all the blood in his body rushed to his head. He turned around and shouted fiercely, "Eunuch Zhao! There is no grudge between you and me! Why are you framing me like this? What on earth are you thinking!"
When he saw Zhao Zhe being arrested, he thought that the truth might have been revealed, but he never expected that Zhao Zhe didn't even wait for the interrogation and just told everything out like a bamboo tube pouring beans!
Are you thinking you're not dying fast enough?
Zhao Zhe no longer cared about so many things.
He was originally just a eunuch of low status, who climbed up by means of flattery. Later, he hooked up with Xie Anjun and successfully climbed to the position of eunuch in charge of writing, becoming extremely prosperous and proud.
But he doesn't have any real ability, and when something big happens, his true colors are exposed.
After being arrested, he couldn't stand being detained for just one night, so he immediately gave away Xie Anjun as soon as he was brought up.
Anyone with a brain could see that what happened yesterday was a setup!
This shows that everything he and they did was already within Your Majesty's expectations!
In this situation, what else can we do except confess our guilt as soon as possible?
Zhao Zhe kowtowed repeatedly, and his forehead soon became red and swollen amid the dull sounds.
"Your Majesty, please understand! Everything I said just now is true! The day before yesterday, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery promised me a large sum of money to secretly poison Lord Zheng Baosu, making sure that he could not see Your Majesty alive! I, I didn't dare to do that at first, but he, he said... Zheng Baosu committed a capital crime, and no matter how he was interrogated, he would not be able to escape death. But as long as, as long as I can help him, I will reward you handsomely! I was bewildered for a moment, so, so..."
Zhao Zhe cried as he spoke, and he looked truly regretful.
"I know I deserve death, but I would like to ask Your Majesty to forgive me for my many years of service..."
"You farted!"
Xie Anjun finally couldn't hold it in anymore and shouted loudly!
He was obviously extremely angry, his face was ashen and veins bulged on his forehead. If Emperor Mu Wu had not been here, he would have rushed over and killed Zhao Zhe with his own hands in the next second!
"Why would I poison Zheng Baosu for no reason?" Xie Anjun's voice was hoarse due to anger and fear. "In fact, I have never met him before today! You are just talking nonsense, but you are throwing all the dirty water on my head! Who on earth instructed you to frame me like this!"
As he spoke, his eyes swept over Xie Anbai next to him.
The metaphor is clear enough.
He was almost saying directly that all this was a trap set up by Xie Anbai on purpose.
Xie Anbai naturally also felt the strong hostility in these words.
He had originally just been watching indifferently and calmly, but at this moment, he finally stopped restraining himself and chuckled.
The laughter was very light, but very abrupt and harsh.
There was a moment of deathly silence in the hall.
Xie Anjun was confused and annoyed, and couldn't help but raise his voice and ask, "What are you laughing at!?"
Xie Anbai raised his eyes and looked over.
There was still a smile on his face, casual and sarcastic.
Xie Anjun's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he felt a strong sense of uneasiness.
Xie Anbai spoke slowly,
"I laughed. Wasn't the recommendation letter for Zheng Baosu to join the army written by you? How come you have never even met each other?"
Xie Anjun's heart suddenly sank! (End of this chapter)
