Chapter 42: Liu Jin's Current Event

Chapter 42: Liu Jin's Current Event (Part )
Faced with Di Renjie's questioning, Fang Qian knew that if he didn't speak up, he would be guilty and would confess.

He had no choice but to pretend to be strong and said angrily: "If this is the humor of adults, I think this kind of humor is too much!"

"Haha, what a humor. I think you are the humorous one." Di Renjie looked at Fang Qian with a smile.

"No matter how humorous I am, I can't compare to you, sir. You called me a traitor Liu Jin in one sentence. I think the so-called divine judgment is just a false reputation."

Fang Qian knew that he couldn't show his weakness now, and he was powerless to refute, so he started making personal attacks.

“Ahahahahahahahaha…” Di Renjie laughed so hard that wrinkles appeared on his face. He counted on Fang Qian with his fingers: “You really won’t cry until you see the coffin.”

Hu Jinghui listened for a long time before he nodded slightly: "Sir, this voice does sound a little familiar."

Di Renjie's face turned serious, and he sat down next to the stone table, saying without a doubt: "He is Liu Jin!"

Hearing Di Renjie's certainty, Fang Qian raised his eyebrows and said, "My Lord, you said that I am Liu Jin. I wonder what evidence you have?"

After saying that, Fang Qian turned his head away, determined to fight to the end.

Seeing Fang Qian still being stubborn, Zhao Ji shouted, "Come on! Do it!"

Several Qianniu guards rushed forward and took off Fang Qian's shirt, only to see a large wound one foot square on his back, and his chest and ribs were covered with dense whip marks and knife wounds...

In this situation, Fang Qian knew that the situation was irreversible. His face turned pale and his heart was dead.

Zhao Ji looked at the densely packed, crisscrossing scars on Fang Qian's body and was secretly shocked. It was so painful just to look at it.

This guy was a ruthless man. In order to fight against Wu and restore the Tang Dynasty, he endured countless tortures, but he managed to hold on.

Of course, this was also thanks to Hu Jinghui's interrogation. If Fang Qian was put in the hands of Lai Junchen and his ilk, he would hardly last even three months, let alone three years.

Hu Jinghui came up and said after the fact: "This is the scar left by Qianniuwei's Seven Star Whip and Rib Knife!"

"Hmph, it's really you, it's really you, sir! He is Liu Jin!" Hu Jinghui's voice suddenly became louder.

Hu Jinghui grabbed Fang Qian's neck with one hand and grabbed his face with the other, saying fiercely, "You traitor, I can change your face, but I can't change your skin, right?"

Di Renjie corrected him from behind: "You are wrong, this face is Liu Jin's true appearance."

Hu Jinghui was surprised and asked, "What?"

Di Renjie chuckled: "You have interrogated him for so many years, didn't you find that he was wearing a human skin mask?"

Hu Jinghui was stumped by the question and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Fang Qian had no way to refute it, and instead he felt happy: "The God of Di Gong is truly amazing."

He put his clothes back on and tidied his appearance: "Yes, I am Liu Jin and Fang Qian, but I don't know how Lord Di recognized me?"

Di Renjie laughed and stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Ji over: "It wasn't me who saw through you, but Cheng Yuan who first figured out your identity."

Fang Qian was slightly surprised when he heard this.

He heard Viper mention Zhao Ji once at Tianbao Silver House. Viper said that this man was very difficult to deal with and should not be underestimated.

However, in the Governor's Mansion these days, Fang Qian did not feel that Zhao Ji was that powerful. He was still a little unconvinced: "I would like to hear how you saw through me."

Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang also focused their eyes on Zhao Ji, wanting to hear what was going on.

The atmosphere was right, Zhao Ji was not afraid, he took a deep breath and smiled: "Actually, from the moment I entered the secret room and saw Lord Fang, I felt something was wrong."

"What's wrong?" Fang Qian asked.

"It's too clean. A person has been locked up in a secret room for several years, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in it, but there is no smell in the room. How is this possible?"

Fang Qian shook his head: "I should have thought of it earlier. When the fake governor case happened, the governor's mansion was surrounded. It was already difficult to enter the secret passage, so there was no room for careful arrangements. If I remember correctly, the one guarding the governor's mansion at that time was General Zhao, right?"

Zhao Ji nodded and said, "Not bad."

Fang Qian sighed, feeling that the heavens were about to destroy him: "Can you conclude that there is something wrong with me just based on this?"

Zhao Ji chuckled, "Of course it's not just that. According to what you said, you were locked up in the secret passage for several years without seeing the sun. When you came out of the secret passage and were exposed to the strong light, your eyes would be blinded immediately."

When Fang Qian heard this, he suddenly understood, covered his eyes and kept shaking his head.

Di Renjie watched Zhao Ji's performance with a smile, Li Yuanfang kept nodding beside him, but Hu Jinghui had a cold expression on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Zhao Ji took in everyone's reactions and said, "Also, Lord Fang probably doesn't know that the secret path was built less than two years ago, but you said you were locked up two and a half years ago. This is another flaw." Fang Qian shook his head and sighed again, shouting in his heart, "Jin Mulan, Jin Mulan, you've made me suffer!"

Fang Qian just tried to cheer himself up and asked again: "We didn't plan things carefully, so it's normal to be exposed. But how did you find out that I was Liu Jin?"

"Of course you told me that yourself." Zhao Ji said with a smile.

"Me?" Fang Qian was puzzled.

Zhao Ji nodded and said, "Yes, at the banquet, you talked about your experience without thinking and answered fluently. I thought you were making up a story at that time."

"You mentioned that you participated in the meeting of the King of Yue ten years ago, and said that you escaped back to Youzhou."

"Oh!" Fang Qian sighed. Apparently he also realized that it was impossible for him to escape back to Youzhou ten years ago.

Zhao Ji continued, "You also said that it was the inner guards who arrested Liu Jin. This is what exposed you."

"What's wrong with this?" Fang Qian asked puzzled.

"Liu Jin was captured by the Internal Guards. Fang Qian should only know that Liu Jin was captured, but he should not know that he was captured by the Internal Guards."

"Because the identities of the internal guards are kept secret, if Fang Qian was really there and hiding under the bed, how would he have recognized the arrester as an internal guard by looking at his shoes and legs?"

"And you were really careless when you were making up the story. Liu Jin was a wanted criminal, but he surrendered when he was about to be arrested. This is too abnormal."

"If you make up a story about Liu Jin jumping out of the window and escaping, it will be much more natural."

"Thinking of this, it is not difficult to find that if there is one person who knows the details of the King of Yue's Xiangyang meeting and Liu Jin's arrest at the same time, this person can only be Liu Jin himself."

Hearing this, Fang Qian sighed: "It's ridiculous that I still thought the plan was perfect. I really underestimated everyone in the world. I didn't lose unfairly. I didn't lose unfairly."

"I never thought that a young man in his early twenties could see through my words without Di Renjie's intervention. It's really ridiculous."

Zhao Ji shook his head when he heard this. A person's ability and wisdom have no necessary connection with his identity, age, etc.

For example, the one who caused the most trouble to Di Renjie was Xu Shide, who had the least power and the lowest status among the villains.

After everyone at the scene listened to Zhao Ji's words, Li Yuanfang's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly: "I didn't expect Cheng Yuan to be so powerful."

Hu Jinghui had a complicated expression and kept stroking the handle of the knife with his right hand.

Di Renjie looked at Zhao Ji who had been talking for so long and wanted to show off: "Actually, what Chengyuan said is just speculation, there is no evidence. But you made a fatal mistake, that is, the poisonous snake killed people."

"I recognized it at a glance. The poison the servant was poisoned with was the same as Li Er's. Jinghui also found that poisonous snake in the garden yesterday. This reminded me of the killer viper."

"As soon as you moved into the East Flower Hall, the long-lost Viper reappeared. This made me more certain that there was something wrong with you and that Viper was contacting you."

"Then in the lobby, Chengyuan asked you about the secret passage. You knew nothing except that you could hear footsteps in the secret passage. I was even more surprised to find that you didn't dare to lean on the chair, as if you were injured."

"Then, I ordered Chengyuan to set fire to the East Flower Hall at night and found some white medicine."

"You could have used the excuse that you were severely tortured by the criminals and treated your wounds openly, but you had something to hide and did not dare to show the scars left by the Qianniu Guards."

"Also, the wound on your back has a peculiar shape. It will arouse suspicion once it is revealed."

At this time, the Qianniu Guard cooperated and turned Liu Jin over, took off his shirt again, revealing the square scar.

Di Renjie looked at the wound and laughed, "Humph, I was wondering what was on your wound, it turns out to be the list of people who participated in the Xiangyang Conference that year!"

Hu Jinghui was shocked when he heard this: "Sir, you mean the wound on his back is..."

 In the past two days, some people have been asking what the protagonist's cheat code is. This book will not have any system or other specific plug-ins, because I personally feel that it would be very strange to add a system to the Shen Di fan fiction.

  The protagonist knows the plot well, has snake-head-level martial arts, is Di Renjie's ally, and is a Qianniu Guard. I think there are too many cheats.

  Moreover, Di Renjie's family and friends have a damage-free buff. Except for a few passers-by among the eight military leaders, Geely's plot killing, and the seemingly true person like Xiaoqing, and Li Gui's self-redemption and suicide, the lives of others are not in any danger.

  In the second part, Di Chun was arrested but came back alive.

  Any ordinary person who follows Di Pangpang and has no bad intentions can be at least Di Chun. The capable ones can be Zeng Tai. The ones with outstanding abilities can be Yuan Fang, Miss Wang, or even Zhang Jianzhi. There is no upper limit.

  I didn't expect that this would require cheats. I can't write that I'm the God of Creation or that I can directly transform into Wu Zetian and have a twilight romance with Di Pangpang.
