Chapter 284 Showdown
In the reception hall of Gyeonggi Prefecture, Zhao Shun laughed loudly after explaining his intentions.

"I don't know if there is something wrong with this case, but I would like to trouble Mr. Shi Lang to go there himself."

On the surface, Zhao Shun is a person who has taken refuge in Yuwenji, so naturally he can't act too much towards Hongye.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with it, but it's about the Lord Regent, so it's natural to check and make up for any omissions."

Gao Sheng of Gyeonggi Prefecture has seen everything in the officialdom, and after hearing what Zhao Shun said, he took it as a verification of his performance to please the regent.

Gao Sheng arched his head and said with a smile: "If anyone wants to check, just ask, I know everything."

Zhao Shun nodded and asked: "This woman named Hongye, formerly known as Hongxiu, did she admit it herself?"

Gao Sheng shook his head and said, "No, Xiaguan only confirmed her identity after finding someone in the same grade as her from her family tree according to the date of her voice."

"Then how did she confess herself?" Zhao Shun asked again.

Gao Sheng chuckled and said: "This woman only said that she is a distant relative of the Hong family, not a direct relative, but I have been handling cases all the year round, so I can tell at a glance that she is lying."

As he said that, Gao Sheng saw Zhao Shun's expression getting serious, he was taken aback for a moment, and said: "Master Minister, even if this person is a distant relative of the Hong family, he will die, and his identity is not important."

As soon as Gao Shenghe finished speaking, the thoughts that arose in Zhao Shun's mind dissipated immediately. He had planned to use Hongye's identity to save her life, but even distant relatives of the Hong family could not escape death.

"It's really not important. Anyone who offends the regent deserves to die." Zhao Shun sneered, then slowly got up and said, "I want to go to the prison and interrogate her again, but she changed her name to the capital as a beggar. Maybe there is some ulterior purpose, and it is related to the safety of the regent, so we can't be careless."

Gao Sheng twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that this is really the regent's loyal eagle dog.

"Hehehe, if you want to go, you can go as long as you want. As the servant of the Ministry of punishment, you can go freely in Gyeonggi Prefecture."

After all, Gao Sheng summoned the police and took Zhao Shun to the prison.

In the dark cell, there was a damp musty smell. Zhao Shun saw the figure of Hongye in the corner of the cell.

Zhao Shun stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the policeman aside with a little chill in his eyes.

"You go down first."

"Yes." The policeman turned and left.

Hongye heard the movement, looked up, and then snorted coldly.

"I wonder who is here, it turns out to be Yu Wenji's lackey."

After reading Hongye's dossier, Zhao Shun clearly realized Hongye's life experience, and he was also a miserable person who was persecuted by Yu Wenji.

Even if he is in prison at this moment, he has no intention of confessing to Yu Wenji.

Such a person can be willful.

After making the above judgment, Zhao Shun's expression softened a lot, and he looked around to confirm that no one was eavesdropping before speaking slowly.

"What happened between the Hong family and Yuwenji back then?"

Hongye looked indifferent, and asked back: "What does it have to do with you, kill as you want, where is there so much nonsense!"

Zhao Shun saw some welt marks on Hongye's body through the light cast from the hole in the wall. It was obvious that Hongye had suffered a lot on the issue of identity.

For such a staunch woman, if she didn't explain the reason, it would be difficult for Hongye to tell the truth.

Zhao Shun looked directly into Hongye's eyes and said slowly, "I want to rescue you?"

"Rescue me?" Hong Ye sneered, "You are a lackey of Yuwenji, and you came out after me as a prisoner?"

"That's right, but the premise is that your Hong family didn't do anything harmful." Zhao Shunqi said seriously.

"Hurt God?"

Zhao Shun's words seemed to touch Hongye's sore spot. She looked at Zhao Shun with cold eyes and said, "Our family is poor and we have saved a little by selling salt. We have never had any enemies with anyone. How can we do this?" A disastrous thing."

Hongye's tone became colder and colder, "If you want to accuse you of trumped-up crimes, you don't have to make such an effort."

Zhao Shun shook his head with a serious expression.

"I really want to save you."

Seeing his serious tone, Hongye frowned and asked, "Why? Because of Miss Shen? If it's because of this, I don't need your sympathy."

"No, because I, like you, have been persecuted by Yu Wenji. Not only do I want to save you, but I also want to kill him."

The sudden words made Hongye stunned, and it took a long time to come back to her senses.

"Impossible, you obviously killed a good official to show your loyalty to Yu Wenji, there is no need for you to lie to me!"

Mentioning this matter, Zhao Shun let out a deep breath.

"The matter you mentioned was planned by Mr. Lu himself, in order for me to break into Yuwenji's interior."

"This..." Hongye opened her mouth in astonishment. If this is true, then the price would be too heavy.

After calming down a little, Zhao Shun continued, "So if you want to survive, please tell me the cause of what happened back then, and I will try to find a way to rescue you."

Hongye woke up to his words and shook her head silently.

"I don't know what happened back then."

"You don't know?" Zhao Shun looked at her in surprise.

"I really don't know." Hongye seemed to be caught in a painful memory, "I was studying outside, and I haven't been home for a long time. My family was wiped clean."

"Then how did you escape, and how did you change your name and household registration?" Zhao Shun asked further, puzzled.

Asked here, Hongye suddenly became alert.

"Are you kidding me?"

"You think too much." Zhao Shun sighed, and said slowly: "Since you don't know anything, this matter will be difficult."

Hongye looked at Zhao Shun silently, and spoke again after a long time.

"Is what you just said true?"

"Of course, otherwise, why would I take so much trouble to come to see you? If I order someone to kill you, it will be over once and for all."

Originally, Hongye was heartbroken and fell into prison with no hope of revenge, but now, Zhao Shun's words gave her hope again.

Hongye's eyes shone with determination and said: "It doesn't matter if I die, as long as you can kill Yu Wenji, it doesn't matter whether I die or not."

Zhao Shun stood with his hands behind his back, with a sad expression on his face.

"When a person dies, everything is gone. Even if Yu Wenji died a hundred times or a thousand times, it would not help the matter, but the innocent blood actually left an extra portion."

After hearing Zhao Shun's words, Hongye completely believed him, and then knelt on the ground with a 'plop'.

"It was my fault that I misunderstood you before. Although I will definitely die in the future, I still beg you to kill Yuwenji, and Hongxiu will repay you in the future."
