Chapter Thirty-Six: Everyone Has a Temperament to Invite a Bosomfriend
At this point, Tao Ran has finally confessed to all his crimes.
At this point, the serial murder case came to an end, and Zhengyao could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, Tao Ran couldn't help but looked at Zhengyao again in confusion and said: "Mr. Mu, Tao has become your prisoner now. He has no other ideas. He just wants to take a step to speak. Is it possible to agree?"
"Oh? Then please!"
A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, his brows furrowed slightly, and then Zhengyao stretched out his hand to signal him to walk out of the woodshed.
Seeing this situation, Yuan Haiyun grabbed Zhengyao and said: "Be careful of him cheating. I think..."
"It's okay, I believe him!"
Zhengyao gave Yuan Haiyun an affirmative look, and then walked towards the door with Tao Ran.
When he came to the door of the woodshed and saw no one following him, Tao Ran whispered to Zhengyao: "Although Tao does not know Li Zhengyao, the current emperor's consort, he has heard of his name and knows that he is a man who hates evil as much as he hates hatred."
person, wise and intelligent
There are few people in the world who can match him, and he is good at reasoning and solving crimes, and he has practiced martial arts well. I think the performance of Mr. Mu is indeed somewhat similar to that of the current prince-in-law. I would like to ask Tao to bluntly ask whether Mr. Mu is the current emperor's prince-in-law Li Zhengyao.
Woolen cloth?"
when!
What Tao Ran said made Zhengyao tremble immediately. He never thought that this Tao Ran would suspect that he was Li Zhengyao. It seemed that this Tao Ran was really powerful.
"Haha, Mr. Tao, please don't talk nonsense! Pretending to be an important member of the imperial court is a capital crime of beheading! This kind of joke is just between you and me. Don't tell anyone!"
Of course, Zhengyao would not be stupid enough to admit it right away. Even if Tao Ran recognized him, there was no need for him to say it. Because it was Zhengyao's purpose to only speak three words when meeting people. Without knowing what the other party's intentions were, it was
I am determined not to confess everything about myself foolishly.
But after hearing Zhengyao's explanation, Tao Ran didn't take it seriously. He smiled slightly and said: "Haha, since Mr. Mu refuses to admit it, Tao doesn't want to ask more. It's just that Tao has something to tell me. I'm here.
When planning revenge, he discovered that this place in Shuzhong has become a treacherous place.
, there are no less than three organizations secretly trying to do harm to the Prince Consort. Although the Prince Consort in Tao’s land has ten talented people with strong abilities, after all, the opponent is in the dark. The so-called open guns are easy to hide, but hidden arrows are difficult to guard against, and these people
It’s clear that it’s organized and premeditated, so it’s better to be careful.”
Although Zhengyao did not admit his identity, Tao Ran believed that Zhengyao was Li Zhengyao, the emperor's consort, so when he looked at Zhengyao, his eyes were so firm.
"Oh? There is another matter? Then Mu wants to hear who the prince-in-law has offended, and how come there are so many people who want to harm him? Mr. Tao believes that these people want to harm the prince-in-law.
What’s the reason?”
Zhengyao frowned slightly, with a surprised expression on his face, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. Zhengyao asked Tao Ran without thinking too much, as if he didn't know why.
The consort is a relative of the emperor, and someone actually wants to murder him. This is really shocking. For an ordinary person, it is absolutely unbelievable. Even the consort wants to kill him. Is this person An An?
What is his heart? What is his identity?
Tao Ran heard Zhengyao's question and immediately replied: "The prince-in-law is an upright man, with a clear distinction between public and private affairs. He is highly valued by the emperor and has made contributions to the court many times to solve crimes. Naturally, the interests of some high-ranking officials in the court will be touched.
.It’s not unusual to offend someone because of this. However, the opponent
As for the murder of the prince-in-law, it is expected that ordinary court officials would not dare to do this. They must be some officials with relatively strong positions. As for why these people would murder the prince-in-law, I heard in secret that it seemed to be for a jade pen.
It seems to be related to Jianwen Secret Treasure."
"A jade pen? Jianwen's secret treasure?"
Zhengyao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, the Jianwen secret treasure was mentioned again. It seemed that what he had guessed before was completely correct, but what about this so-called jade pen? Zhengyao suddenly became confused.
Jianwen Secret Treasure was very familiar to Zhengyao. He had mentioned it no less than ten times, and every time Jianwen Secret Treasure appeared, something bad would happen. Zhengyao was naturally very impressed.
But this is the first time Zhengyao has heard of this jade pen. It seems that this jade pen has some connection with Jianwen's secret treasure. It seems that this jade pen is not a good thing either.
Tao Ran nodded and continued: "Actually, I didn't pay much attention to these things at first. It was only after I heard that it was related to the Jianwen Secret Treasure, and the Jianwen Secret Treasure was inextricably linked to the Qingcheng Sect's almost annihilation, that I started to pay more attention to it.
This matter was followed closely.
Later, I discovered that the purpose of Bai Rushui and Yan Nanfei's visit to the Prince Consort was the so-called Jianwen Secret Treasure. On the surface, there was nothing suspicious about Boss Wen and the other seven businessmen, but according to my
Observing secretly, we discovered that they were also here to wait for the arrival of the Prince Consort and to commit murder and swindle goods.
Although I, Tao Ran, am not a good person, I know how to distinguish right from wrong. I believe everyone with some conscience knows what kind of person the Prince Consort is. Now that I have killed these people, I have cleared the way for the Prince Consort. In this way, the Prince Consort
I can also return to Shuzhong smoothly and punish the corrupt officials in Shuzhong area.
Of course, when I say this, I don't mean to ask the prince-in-law to intercede for me. After all, I also know that with the prince-son-in-law's personality, killing someone is killing someone, and he will definitely not break the rules because of me.
In fact, I just want the Prince Consort to be able to return to Shu smoothly and solve the problems in Shu smoothly. In this way, I will be considered to have immeasurable merit! Haha!"
Tao Ran talked to himself for a long time. Listening to his tone, it seemed that he knew a lot about Zheng Yao. Every time he mentioned Zheng Yao, he would look at him with great admiration and appreciation, as if he was the real person.
A loyal supporter of Zheng Yao.
In fact, Zhengyao didn't do much for the people. He just passed it down from person to person. After passing it from person to person, everyone felt that Zhengyao was a good prince-in-law who could solve strange cases and punish political officials.
For the common people, this is enough. Plus
Shang Zhengyao successively solved the relationship problems between Ming Dynasty and Annan, and between Ming Dynasty and Portugal, which made the people who benefited from it think highly of Zheng Yao even more. As word spread, Zheng Yao's reputation became much louder. Many people were attracted by it.
Praise for it.
Therefore, Tao Ran's admiration for Zhengyao is actually just a microcosm of the people's love and support for Zhengyao. Unconsciously, the people began to spread the saying "Because of Li Zhengyao in the world, thousands of troubles are not a problem."
It actually made Zhengyao feel a little embarrassed and blush.
Hearing this, Zheng Yao felt grateful in his heart. Although Tao Ran was carrying ten lives, maybe more, but to Zheng Yao, the person Tao Ran killed seemed to be the person who deserved to be killed. After all, even Boss Wen
The seven people turned out to be the ones sent to kill him. Suddenly, Zhengyao really had the idea of letting Tao Ran go, pretending not to see him, and letting go of the matter.
But Zhengyao is always Zhengyao. After struggling in his heart, he finally did not make this decision. He just curled his lips and looked at Tao Ran helplessly and said: "Master Tao is really a young and talented man of flesh and blood, but, after all, you
Still kill someone, I believe that even if the Prince Consort is here, he will not agree with your actions and will also bring you to justice."
Maybe what Tao Ran said is true. His main purpose is to kill for revenge, but at the same time, he also clears the way for Zhengyao. It can be regarded as helping Zhengyao more or less. But without comment, killing is killing, no matter what the reason.
It is murder, and you need to wait for the trial of the Yamen. If you are guilty or not, it is also the county boss. The envoy and others have the final say, and the final decision is made by the Ministry of Punishment.
Even if Zhengyao wanted to help Tao Ran, he should use it in a proper way. Otherwise, not only would he not be able to help him, but he would also be harming himself. At that time, it would really be unfair.
"Haha! That's natural. With the personality of the Prince Consort, he naturally hates evil as much as he hates it. And I also know myself. Now that I have killed someone and avenged my revenge, there is nothing to regret. Now it is death, right?
For me, it doesn’t matter. So I won’t ask anyone to excuse me. Mr. Mu is a rare person with both wisdom and bravery. At this time, Tao has a ruthless request. Unknown to Mr. Mu
Sir, can you agree?"
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Tao Ran's mouth, and his eyes were confused, as if he was tired of the world.
It has to be said that Tao Ran was also a man of love, and his intelligence and intelligence were rarely matched by others. It would be a pity if he died like this. For this reason, Zheng Yao couldn't help but feel a pang of regret in his heart.
.
Now that Tao Ran wanted something from him, Zhengyao didn't want to have any more rejections, so he immediately said: "Master Tao, please tell me, if Mu is within his ability, Mu will definitely be able to do it!"
It is an indisputable fact that Tao Ran is a murderer, but Zhengyao does not treat him like a low-level criminal. In Zhengyao's world, prisoners are also human beings, with human rights and freedom of speech.
Tao Ran's mouth showed excitement, and he immediately said: "Mr. Mu's intelligence is the first person Tao has seen in these years, and you and I are both lovers, so Tao Ran is not talented, so he decided to kill Mu."
I have taken you as my close friend. If I am lucky enough to survive in the future, I will definitely drink three hundred cups with Master Mu and talk about world affairs. I wonder if Master Mu will agree?"
Introduced as a close friend?
This Tao Ran thought very well. He was already a prisoner and could die at any time, but he still had the thought to become a close friend with Zheng Yao. It was a blessing for him to have such a funny idea.
But when Zhengyao heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha, Mr. Tao is also a rare smart man. Mu is lucky enough to become a close friend with Mr. Tao. It is really a great pleasure in life! Good! We are here
Let’s go drink in the inn lobby!”
After saying that, Zhengyao immediately pushed open the door of the woodshed and said to Feng Bufan: "Shopkeeper Feng, please go and prepare a few side dishes and a few jars of fine wine. I will not return until Mr. Tao is drunk this time!"
When he spoke, Zhengyao's face was filled with pride and awe-inspiring aura, just like that of a hero in the world, very free and easy.
When Feng Bufan heard what Zhengyao said, he was immediately surprised, but he said to Zhengyao hesitantly: "No... no problem, it's just..."
As he said that, Feng Bufan couldn't help but look at Tao Ran, as if he was saying that he was a murderer, how could he still drink with him now?
Zhengyao naturally understood what Feng Bufan meant, and he couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face, and then said: "Don't worry, Mr. Tao has already confessed his crime. I believe that Mr. Tao will never run away or hurt anyone!"
Seeing Feng Bufan nodded and walked out of the woodshed, Zhengyao and Tao Ran looked at each other and smiled, then followed Feng Bufan's footsteps and walked towards the inn lobby.
Not long after, the originally crowded and noisy woodshed was empty, leaving only two cold corpses that were slightly chilling. (To be continued...)
