County government office.

Sitting on the low couch, Li Cheng slowly wiped the Hongjun sword.

The soft silk scarf brushed over the sword body, making the sword body more bright and intimidating.

Lin Qingzhi sat kneeling opposite him, cooking tea skillfully and gracefully.

Seeing that the prince loves Hongjunjian so much, she said softly.

"His Royal Highness, this Hongjun sword should have belonged to you, and now it has been returned to its original owner."

When King Zhao and his carriage fell into the river that day, the Hongjun sword fell into the hands of the prince.

The six arts of a gentleman, including riding and archery swordsmanship, as the prince, Li Cheng naturally also learned swordsmanship, but he didn't learn it deeply.

He had fought against King Zhao before, and King Zhao knocked the sword away with just two moves.

Since then, he has lost interest in fencing.

At this time, Li Cheng looked at the Hongjun sword in his hand, and recalled the scene when King Zhao fell into the river that day, so he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, showing a happy smile.

Although his swordsmanship is not as good as King Zhao's, but when it comes to the emperor's mind, he is much better than King Zhao's brute force warrior.

No, the current King Zhao is not even a warrior.

Because he has become a useless person who can't even stand up!

Li Cheng smiled leisurely: "A person should have self-knowledge, even if he gets something he shouldn't, he won't be able to keep it."

Lin Qingzhi gently put the cooked hot tea in front of him, and replied with a smile.

"What His Royal Highness said is very true."

In fact, she once hesitated, should she support King Zhao or the prince?

After several weighings, she finally chose the prince.

Because the prince is the closest person to the throne.

Although the prince died unexpectedly in the previous life and missed the throne, Lin Qingzhi was very confident that she could use the information obtained in the previous life to help the prince escape that disaster.

As long as the crown prince survives, he will be the final heir to the throne.

At that time, even King Zhao will have to back away and dare not compete with him.

Judging from the current situation, Lin Qingzhi felt that her choice was very correct.

She was glad that she chose the prince instead of King Zhao.

Li Cheng took a sip of tea, and a confidant walked in and saluted respectfully.

"His Royal Highness, the court has been prepared and the trial can be held at any time."

Li Cheng stood up and went to the court with Hongjun Sword.

Today he will interrogate Luo Yun.

After this whole night of torture, Luo Yun was covered in bruises.

He was roughly dragged to the hall.

Li Cheng sat at the head, looked down at him, and asked coldly.

"You still refuse to admit to the crime of embezzlement of public funds?"

Luo Yun raised his head with difficulty, his voice hoarse: "This minister is innocent."

Li Cheng sneered: "It's already this time, yet you are still stubborn."

Luo Yun looked at the aloof prince and asked in a hoarse voice.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince firmly believes that the official is greedy for Mo's public funds, so has His Royal Highness found the stolen money from the residence of the official?"

Li Cheng said solemnly: "You must have hidden the stolen money elsewhere!"

Luo Yun asked sadly.

"Weichen was only transferred to Fu'an County last year, and I don't know the place here, so how could I find a place to hide such a large sum of stolen money?

Moreover, Weichen's mother was ill, and the doctor said that expensive medicinal materials such as ginseng and ganoderma were needed for recuperation.

Because Weichen couldn't afford the money, he couldn't take care of his mother's health.

If the humble official has a huge sum of money, why is it here? "

Li Cheng was stopped by the question.

But he became more and more annoyed in his heart, and immediately slammed the gavel and shouted sharply.

"Is Gu interrogating you, or are you interrogating Gu?!

Don't think that you can fool Gu with just a few words.

So many people accuse you of being the real culprit of embezzling money, it can't be groundless!

You'd better be honest and tell me where the stolen money is hidden.

Otherwise, Gu will definitely let your blood splatter on the spot! "

After finishing speaking, he put Hongjun sword heavily on the case.

The Hongjun sword is owned by the emperor, and has the privilege of beheading first and playing later.

If Li Cheng really wanted to kill Luo Yun with the Hongjun sword, no one else could do anything about him.

Luo Yun looked at the Hongjun sword, then at the murderous prince, his bloodshot eyes revealed deep despair.

That is not despair of oneself, but despair of the country.

With such a prince who doesn't care about right and wrong, doesn't distinguish between black and white, and likes to listen to the slander of the villain to inherit the throne, the future of the Great Zhou will surely be dark!

But he has a passion for serving the country, but he is powerless to change the future of the country.

Li Cheng was still pressing.

"Gu will give you one more chance at the end. If you still don't tell the truth, don't blame Gu for being rude to you!"

Tears dripped from the corners of Luo Yun's eyes as he wept.

At the end of crying, he actually laughed again, and the laughter became louder and louder.

Li Cheng was so annoyed by his laughter.

"You can still laugh when you're dying?

Alright, since you don't want to drink a toast, someone will drag him down and continue to torture him!

I want to see how hard his bones are? ! "

Luo Yun was roughly dragged up, and the wound was pulled, which should be very painful.

But he seemed to have forgotten the pain, crying while laughing, as if insane, still screaming in his mouth.

"It's over! The Great Zhou Dynasty is about to end! The people of the world are about to end!"

Hearing this, Li Cheng was so angry that he actually had a killing intent.

He stood up abruptly and drew out the Hongjun sword.

"Don't bother, since he wants to die, Gu will fulfill him now!"

So Luo Yun was pushed back to the ground.

He couldn't move, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Li Cheng had never killed anyone with his own hands.

But today he was really pissed off by this guy, and he didn't ask others to help him, so he insisted on solving this arrogant, nonsense guy himself!

Just as Li Cheng raised his sword and was about to cut it down, someone outside suddenly shouted loudly.

"His Royal Highness King Zhao is here!"

Li Cheng paused.

He thought it was someone talking nonsense, and was about to order someone to arrest the yelling people, when he saw Zhao Wang Li Ji strode in.

Behind Li Ji were Hua Manman, Bian Ziming, and a large group of heavily armed soldiers from the Hu Xiao Camp.

Li Cheng opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and blurted out.

"King Zhao, you, you are not dead?"

Li Ji asked with a smile: "Does His Royal Highness really want me to die?"

Li Cheng naturally hoped that King Zhao was dead.

But he can't admit it.

It took a lot of effort to maintain his composure and not let himself lose his composure in public.

"Hehe, how could it be? Gu naturally hopes that you will be well."

Hua Manman poked her head out from behind Li Ji, she looked at the Hongjun sword held in the prince's hand, and asked in surprise.

"Isn't that the Hongjun sword given to King Zhao by the sage?

How did it get into the hands of His Highness the Crown Prince?

Could it be that His Royal Highness is greedy for this sword and wants to take it for himself?

This is not acceptable, this is a royal gift, even if you are the crown prince, you cannot take it casually. "

For a moment, the expressions on the faces of everyone present became a little subtle.

Unexpectedly, the dignified prince would steal other people's things.

Li Cheng put down the sword embarrassingly.

"Sorry, I just saw Lie Xinxi for a while, and I just used it for fun."

Li Ji smiled slightly: "What is there to apologize for, His Royal Highness?"

Li Cheng thought that he was going to say some polite words next, so his heart relaxed, and he was about to take the opportunity to turn the page when he heard Li Ji's fellow said immediately.

"I'm not going to forgive you anyway."

Li Cheng: "..."
