"Jin Wuhou is remembering his family now." Yan Zhengman laughed, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, like a needle pierced Jin Wuhou's heart, but only lightly. When Marquis Wu of Jin frowned and looked over gloomyly, he said softly, "Master Hou, don't worry, Your Majesty is generous. I know that Zheng Boxuan made a contribution when arresting those dead men on the Slender West Lake. I also know Mrs. Zheng Aware of righteousness, he voluntarily handed over the evidence of Lord Hou privately refining weapons. Considering that they were also deceived and implicated by you, he only ordered the Zheng clan to be temporarily detained in Jinwuhou's mansion until the case is clear. "

"It's just that the old lady was already seriously ill and weak, and then she became anxious and angry. After a long journey, she fell ill as soon as she arrived in Beijing. Lord Hou is a man of great filial piety. He cooperates with an early explanation. His Majesty is kind and can't say it back." Will allow Lord Hou to visit Yi Er."

"After all, I was an official in the same dynasty as Lord Hou, and Lord Hou has made great military achievements. I don't want to torture Lord Hou unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Your Majesty made a promise when he was in Yangzhou earlier, and he will explain it when he arrives in Beijing..."

"Okay, what are you talking about, my lord? I didn't say I wouldn't explain it!" Jin Wuhou interrupted him impatiently.

Yan Zheng really kept his mouth shut, wearing a mask, he couldn't see any emotions or anger, but sitting there, he still looked calm and relaxed, as if he hadn't been affected by Marquis Wu of Jin in the slightest.

Jin Wuhou glanced at him and snorted, "Don't you already have evidence in your hand? Since the evidence is solid, I will admit it."

"Master Hou, tell me more clearly, what are you pleading guilty to?" Yan Zheng rested his left hand on the armrest of the chair, and tapped lightly with his bony fingers.

Marquis Wu of Jin choked, his eyes fixed on Yan Zheng, and the fire of resentment was quenched in his eyes.

As if Yan Zheng didn't realize it, he urged in a manly voice, "Master Hou?" There was a little cold light reflected in the eyes behind the mask.

Marquis Jin Wu gritted his teeth, unwilling to reconcile, but still said, "I am greedy for profit, and I made a mistake when I went on a errand, knowing that there is iron ore hidden in Wuhui Mountain, so I privately refine weapons to make huge profits."

"When did Lord Hou start refining weapons privately?" Yan Zheng asked, and someone behind him had already laid out a pen and ink on the table and began to record.

"Ten years ago?" Jin Wuhou said in a calm tone.

"More than ten years ago? What year, month and date did it start? Master Hou really only remembers such a major event in general? If Master Hou can't remember clearly, I don't mind remembering one or two for you. In early February of the fourth year of Yanhe Eighth, this is the second time in the Wuhui mountain to open a furnace to refine soldiers, what about the first time? Maybe the Lord Hou remembers the first time clearly?" Yan Zheng put one hand on his forehead, and his eyes behind the mask looked at Marquis Wu of Jin , a little bit of cold light reminds us of a sharp arrow.

Jin Wuhou heard his words, and his face changed slightly, "What. What about the first time, the second time, I don't understand what you are talking about."

"Marquis Wu of Jin, Zheng Qingzhi! Calling you Lord Marquis, do you really think that you are still a high-ranking second-rank military marquis in the past? You can understand that this is the imperial prison." Lu Heng, who stepped into the iron prison from the dark night corridor, stared at Jin Wuhou with a pair of fierce tiger eyes and a murderous look.

"Master Hou, since I know exactly the day when you opened the furnace for the second time, how can I just talk about it? It doesn't matter if Master Hou doesn't say anything. Do you really think that you never left any evidence in the mountains when you never returned?" Why not? May I tell you that both the person and the black powder left behind have arrived in Shangjing half a month ago. If Lord Hou is really unwilling to confess, I can invite someone to confront you face to face."

"I'm afraid Hou Ye didn't know that Hu Yongxin not only knows how to collect wind and mine veins, but also has an amazing memory. At the beginning, Hou Ye wanted to control him and said that he let his family go back, but with such a so-called 'accident' Killed his family, and since then, he has been paying attention to everything, recording all the big and small things in your private weapon refining place, every detail, without any omission. In order to save costs, Hou Ye, You also have the thought of killing people after using them, whether it is Hu Yongxin, Wan Dahu and others, or even the blacksmiths who trained your weapons for you, you have never changed them. There are so many, why does Hou need to bother to argue?" Yan Zheng twitched his fingertips lightly.

Listening to his words, Marquis Wu of Jin's expression finally became a little gray, his shoulders collapsed, and he closed his eyes.

After a long time, when he spoke again, his tone was hoarse, "Since you all know everything, why do you need to ask?"

"Then Hou Ye might as well tell us what we may not know." Yan Zheng's mouth under the mask slightly curled up, stretched his body, and leaned in the direction of Jin Wuhou, "Those weapons used to frame King Ning But from your forge?"

"Nonsense! How is it possible?" Marquis Wu of Jin retorted subconsciously, and at the end, he realized that something was wrong, "What framed King Ning? My lord, don't want to accuse me of crimes. Apart from refining weapons privately, besides, You don't want to weave indiscriminately."

"Then how do those blacksmiths who were born in Xiaolongqi in Hou Ye's forging room explain? And this? This is a letter written by Hou Ye and Lu Kun, the cavalry captain who escorted the disaster relief money from the household department. You work under the account of the Lord, and you are an old subordinate. This letter is full of greetings, but it hides secret words in the army. Lord Hou is sure, even if someone finds out, he will not be able to see it, but he never expected it , I have been in the army for several years, and I heard people mention that the Ganzhou army under the jurisdiction of Lord Hou once passed on secret words, which can pass messages under the noses of the enemy. I was very curious, so I devoted myself to learning it , I didn’t expect to find out a shocking secret when I used it for the first time. On the ninth day of September, Magpie Bay. This is exactly the time and place where the accident happened on the silver official ship carrying the disaster relief, but this letter was written at the end of August. Lord Hou, is it possible that Captain Lu can still predict the future?"

Looking at the letter thrown out by Yan Zheng, and listening to Yan Zheng's words, the blood on Jin Wuhou's face faded little by little, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Whether Lu Kun will be a prophet, I don't know, my lord. If you want to know, you might as well ask him yourself.”

"Zheng Qingzhi, you are really shameless, you have to be severely punished to be honest, right?" Lu Heng was furious, and raised his hand to point at the tip of his nose.

Yan Zheng raised his hand, stopped Lu Heng's fury, and smiled lowly at Marquis Wu of Jin, "Your Majesty predicted that Lu Kun was dead, and there is no proof of death! It's a pity, why are you so confident? Lu Kun is in your account." After so many years, I don't know what you are like, and I haven't left anyone behind, so how can I prevent you from killing the donkey?" Yan Zheng looked at Shang Jin Wuhou suddenly, forced his calm eyes, and slightly tilted his head.

Behind him, someone sent several letters and placed them on the table one by one.

Jin Wuhou looked at those letters, the composure in his eyes suddenly shattered, and the panic could no longer be concealed pouring out.

"The Lord Hou must have asked Lu Kun to read these letters before burning them, but Lu Kun just saved them and hid them. Lu Kun was afraid of himself, and even the Lord Hou didn't know about it. Lu Kun was outside. Set up an outer room, right?"
