Happy Emperor

Chapter 81: The Truth

"What other secrets can buy your life?"

Lin Tian was not in a hurry, still looking furious, and questioned in a cold voice.

Apply slight force to the blade in your hand.

A trickle of blood oozed from Zhen Niumeng's neck.

Lin Tian knew that he couldn't show any interest in Zhen Niumeng's secret at this time.

Facing such an old fox, if he notices something unusual, all the efforts just made will probably be wasted.

"Your Majesty will be interested in this matter."

Zhen Niumeng's voice trembled, but he still didn't say what it was.

"but......"

"But what?"

Huang Tianba stepped forward and kicked Zhen Niu down.

He cursed viciously, "You bastard, if you keep on wasting time, I'll kill you right now."

He really looked down on Zhen Niumeng.

In his opinion, such people are traitors no matter where they are.

If Emperor Li had not given the order, he would have killed this man with an axe.

"I will only speak if Your Majesty promises not to kill me!"

Zhen Niu curled up on the ground and begged for mercy.

Although he was frightened by the three people, his desire to survive made him remain calm.

Now the young prince's conspiracy is his only way to save his life.

But he didn't dare to tell this secret method out loud easily.

"Speaking of it, saving your life is the most important thing, and the young prince may not know about this."

"You can't tell me. You are the young prince's uncle. If you betray the young prince like this, the whole Zhen family will suffer."

These two voices, like two little men, kept repeating the above words in Zhen Niumeng's ears at the same time, one on the left and one on the right.

Make them hesitant.

"You fucking..."

Huang Tianba cursed and was about to go forward to beat Zhen Niumeng.

Lin Tian glared at him angrily, and then he didn't take action out of indignation.

"Do you still have the capital to bargain with me now?"

Although Lin Tian stopped Huang Tianba, he did not agree directly.

Instead, he threatened again: "Your life is worthless in my eyes. Whether I will kill you or not depends on the value of the secret you reveal."

"I only count to five!"

"If he still doesn't tell me, Huang Tianba, you know what to do!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will definitely make this bastard regret his life."

Huang Tianba gritted his teeth and replied coldly.

Countdown Threat!

In addition, the death penalty will inevitably come after the countdown ends.

Lin Tian clenched his fists. He didn't know if his method could make Zhen Niumeng speak.

Five, four.

Lin Tian paused slightly and looked at Zhen Niumeng with narrowed eyes.

three.

Zhen Niumeng's body began to tremble violently as he counted down.

two.

Huang Tianba found a stone from somewhere and held it high up.

one......

A word just came out of Lin Tian's mouth.

Zhen Niumeng seemed to have made up his mind and started shouting.

"I said, I said! Don't... don't kill me."

"Lin Ruxue's visit to Shengjing was secretly arranged by the young prince. He hopes to use the princess's death to completely provoke a fight between Prince Pingdong and Your Majesty, and then unify Daxia!"

"fart!"

Huang Tianba did not put the stone down and cursed at it.

"Do you think the Shengjing regime is still the same as before? Your Majesty's current strength is not something that the Prince of Pingdong can easily defeat! Moreover, the three kings of different surnames do not support civil war."

Lin Tian squinted his eyes and did not say anything. Huang Tianba's seemingly unintentional question was actually what Lin Tian wanted to know.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, every word I say is the truth!"

Zhen Niumeng knelt down and crawled in front of Lin Tian begging for mercy.

"Young Prince, no, no, no, Lin Zhen has already conspired with the State of Zhao. They will contain the three kings of different surnames and support him with money to fight the Northern Expedition."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of hatred surged in his heart.

Seeing Zhen Niumeng who was already frightened, he knew that he was definitely not lying.

Huang Tianba and An Bilie were even more furious, their fists clenched so tightly that they made a crackling sound.

They originally thought that King Pingdong was the most difficult problem, but they didn't expect Lin Zhen to be even more ruthless, or even shameless.

He was actually planning to collude with external forces to take over Daxia.

They knew without asking that the State of Zhao would definitely not be so kind as to help Lin Zhen unify Da Xia for no reason.

It's nothing more than planning to take over the land bordering Daxia.

"Your Majesty, I have revealed all the secrets to you. Please spare my life and I will serve you faithfully from now on."

Zhen Niumeng saw that Lin Tian didn't say anything and hurriedly expressed his opinion.

"roll!"

Huang Tianba roared and kicked Zhen Niu away.

"A dog slave like you is not worthy of working for His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please give me the order to kill this scum!"

"Your Majesty, if what he said is true, this man cannot be killed now."

An Bilie spoke hurriedly.

Lin Tian turned to look at An Bilie. He didn't expect that these words would come out of the mouth of An Bilie, who didn't like to use his brain much.

"Why?" Huang Tianba looked dissatisfied.

"Lin Ruxue is dead anyway. Now that things have come to this, what's the point in keeping him?"

"If we keep him here, we can at least prove that Lin Zhen was the instigator of this incident. We can also frame Lin Ruxue and say that she was killed by someone sent by Lin Zhen! This way..."

After following Lin Tian for some time, An Bilie no longer had the straightforward attitude he had at the beginning when thinking about problems.

Moreover, he still couldn't understand why Emperor Li suddenly changed his temperament today and actually killed Lin Ruxue.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to prove before the King of Pingdong that it was Lin Zhen who sent someone to kill the princess."

After hearing An Bilie's analysis, Zhen Niumeng hurriedly made a promise.

"Your Majesty, you must not believe what a man like him says..."

Huang Tianba still didn't want to let Zhen Niumeng go.

"okay!"

Lin Tian finally spoke up to stop the quarrel between the two.

He hadn't said anything just now because he wanted to see how the two of them would deal with this matter.

It is also a consideration for both of them.

Huang Tianba, a typical tiger general!

Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, as long as it is his order, it will be carried out absolutely.

An Bilie, now you are willing to use your brain to solve problems. This is a good thing, but also a bad thing.

He began to make decisions based on interests.

It's okay to have such a person around.

But once he becomes a local lord, he may secretly disobey his own orders, and may even abandon his original loyalty one day.

"What you said is enough to buy your life. You can leave now."

Lin Tian said coldly to Zhen Niumeng who was crawling on the ground.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."

When Zhen Niumeng heard this, he knelt down and kowtowed.

"His Majesty......"

An Bilie and Huang Tianba spoke at the same time, but were stopped by Lin Tian waving his hand.

"Your Majesty, can I really leave now?"

Zhen Niu suddenly looked up, stood up and asked cautiously.

Lin Tian didn't reply, but just nodded coldly.

Zhen Niumeng stumbled out of the prison as if he had been pardoned.

Afraid that Emperor Li would change his mind.

An Bilie followed at Lin Tian's signal.

After a while, he returned to the prison.

"Your Majesty, Zhen Niu Meng has left the palace and returned to the residence of the Chief Secretary of the Royal Palace. Do you want to secretly send someone to watch him?"

An Bilie asked in a low voice.

"Need not!"

Lin Tian replied coldly, and after a moment he asked again, "Tell me the truth, both of you. Do you blame me for not considering the overall situation and killing Lin Ruxue?"

Huang Tianba and An Bilie were both speechless.

The only sound in the entire cell was Lin Qiaoqiao sobbing softly.
