Chapter 355 Prison Break
Pingnan Hou Xue Qinglin opened his eyes and looked up at Li Cunxi.
His eyes were full of surprise and fear, and his whole body was shaking.
He didn't expect that Duke Huang who came from Luoyang actually knew his true identity!
That’s right, the name “Zhao Fucai” was once the one he was most familiar with, but now it is also the one he is most unfamiliar with.
He hasn't used this name for eleven years, but this name is an identity that he will never be able to erase in his entire life!
The fifth of the five water bandits on the Xunyang River back then was Zhao Fucai!
"Are you surprised? Why do I know you are Zhao Fucai?"
Li Cunxi sat down with his legs extended, then crossed his legs comfortably.
"Not only do I know that you are a fake Xue Qinglin, I also know that your real name is Zhao Fucai."
"I also know that the current Jiangzhou Chief Clerk Feng Wanchun, Jiangzhou Sima Ge Bin, Jiangzhou Law Officer Zhang Xiangong, the former Jiangzhou Silver Officer Wu Shun, and the former Wuping County Magistrate Huang Wenyue are all your sworn brothers."
"Ten years ago, King Li Zhen of Yue rose up against Wu Zetian and invited Duke Li Ai of Huang to join him, but was rejected by Duke Li Ai of Huang."
As Li Cunxi spoke, he looked up at the county lieutenant and county magistrate who had walked very far away.
These two men were men who knew how to act. After they closed the gate of the county government office, they immediately left the main hall with all the bailiffs, constables, servants and legal advisors and headed towards the second hall.
In the Second Hall, they will be temporarily detained by the Internal Guards until Li Cunxi finishes interrogating Pingnan Hou Xue Qinglin.
Outside the county government office, the Qianniu Guards led by Zhang Huan had surrounded the office and did not allow anyone to get close.
After noticing that everything had been arranged, Li Cunxi then faced Pingnan Hou Xue Qinglin, also known as the pirate Zhao Fucai!
Li Cunxi said calmly: "At that time, His Majesty had not yet ascended the throne. In order to consolidate his power, he had no choice but to kill us, the descendants of the Li family."
"Yue Wang Li Zhen raised an army to rebel, but was soon defeated. My father, Huang Guogong Li Ai, was wooed by Yue Wang, so he naturally became a thorn in the side of His Majesty."
"So, a conspiracy was born. Your Majesty ordered someone to pass the message to the real Xue Qinglin, the former Light Vehicle Commander Xue Qinglin, and ordered him to work together with Liang Wang Wu Sansi to frame my father."
"However, Xue Qinglin and my father were close friends, so how could he do such an unkind and unjust thing? He had no choice but to flee with his family."
"However, on the Xunyang River, Xue Qinglin and his family were secretly attacked by pirates, and only three people were left in the family."
Zhao Fucai lay on the ground, screaming in pain.
"How do you know this? It's all confidential!"
Lin Yongzhong took a sip of tea and glanced at Zhao Fucai expressionlessly.
"Because, this county magistrate is Xue Qinglin!"
……
Half an hour later, Zhao Fucai was dragged back to prison by several jailers.
In stark contrast to the previous two days, today he was locked up in a single cell.
Completely different from the overcrowded cells next door, not only was he the only one in this cell, but there were even daily necessities in it.
Several jailers brought him a wooden barrel filled with hot water and covered with herbs, as well as some food and wine.
Zhao Fucai, who was drenched in urine by the local thugs, was thrown into a wooden barrel by several jailers and started to take a medicinal bath.
However, the pain from his beaten buttocks when it came into contact with the hot water made Zhao Fucai scream instantly.
However, no matter how miserably Zhao Fucai screamed, the jailers pretended not to see anything and allowed Zhao Fucai to roll around in the wooden barrel until he could no longer scream. He leaned limply against the edge of the barrel, staring blankly at the ceiling of the cell.
The strong men who had enjoyed Zhao Fucai for several days before, when they thought that they could not play with Zhao Fucai today, hurriedly asked the jailer:
"Little brother, little brother."
"Why is this Pingnan Marquis still in solitary confinement? Shouldn't he be handed over to us brothers to have a good play with?"
The jailer shook his head repeatedly and reminded in a low voice:
"Don't think about it anymore. He has already confessed in the hall. Let him sleep comfortably tonight. When Lord Li returns from Xunyang County in two days, he will be killed without a burial place."
The strong men were still not satisfied.
But when he saw the serious look on the jailer's face.
These men no longer had the idea of enjoying Zhao Fucai.
Under the moonlight, on the official road from Wuping County to Xunyang County, more than a hundred horses escorted two carriages at a galloping speed.
In the luxurious carriage in front, Li Cunxi sat steadily, holding Zhao Fucai's confession in his hand.
Zhao Fucai has confessed.
He told how he killed people and robbed goods when he was a bandit, how he killed Xue Qinglin's family, pretended to be Xue Qinglin and went to Beijing to falsely accuse Huang Guogong Li Ai, and asked Wu Sansi to write a letter to kill all those who knew Xue Qinglin.
All of it was said.
Finally, under Li Cunxi's torture and coercion, Zhao Fucai had to add to his confession that he and Feng Wanchun, the chief officer of Jiangzhou, killed Wu Shun, and that the massacre of Huang Wenyue's family was also done by his assassins.
The most important thing is the cause of death of the Wuping County Magistrate, which has also been finally determined, that is, he was killed by Zhao Fucai and Feng Wanchun.
The identities of Feng Wanchun, Ge Bin, Zhang Xiangong, Wu Shun, Huang Wenyue and Zhao Fucai at that time were also clearly explained in this confession.
The Bloody Jiangzhou case is now only in the final stage. As long as Feng Wanchun, Ge Bin and Huang Wenyue are killed, Li Cunxi can write a letter to Wu Zetian to settle the grudges of the past openly.
After a bumpy ride, the carriage finally arrived in Xunyang County.
Li Cunxi got off the carriage and was protected by Hu Jinghui, and the two rushed to the governor's mansion together.
Just as Li Cunxi entered the south gate of Xunyang County, a figure quietly appeared in the prison of Wuping County Government.
As soon as the figure appeared, he knocked down the jailers who were blocking his way in a few moves.
"Who are you to dare to come to the prison so late at night?"
A jailer asked loudly, grimacing in pain.
The criminals who had fallen asleep got up and looked at the figures outside through the wooden railings.
The figure was wearing a nightgown and with a stern face, he kicked the jailer over and walked into the prison with big strides, looking around as he walked, as if he was looking for someone.
Soon, the figure appeared outside the cell of Zhao Fucai who was lying on the haystack. After carefully recognizing Zhao Fucai's face, he stretched out his strong arms, gathered all his strength, and actually pulled the cell door until it was deformed.
"Come out and follow me, or after tonight, Li Gou will make sure you die without a burial place."
The voice of the person outside the door was cold, like a demon walking out of the abyss.
However, the hatred expressed by this person towards Li Cunxi made Zhao Fucai, who had a rotten butt, feel a lump in his throat.
"You are a subordinate of King Liang, and you came here to rescue me?"
"Stop talking nonsense and come out."
