C88 (1/2)

Zhou Zheng's wife was told to kneel on the ground after entering the palace, to look at Lin Jing, and finally to look at the Emperor.

Lin Jing walked forward and spoke to her in a gentle voice that sounded like he was discussing something, ”Madam Wang, I know you are forced to do this, but don't worry, the Emperor is in charge of your affairs here, he won't let you seek justice. Just tell us frankly who the man is, and I will find you for whatever reason.”

Just look at what he said. There was even some threat in the coaxing. It was no wonder that the Elders of both dynasties could make one's heart beat faster with just a few casual words and a warning look in their eyes.

Madam Wang lowered his head, his hands clutching his clothes, his lips trembling, but he was still unable to say a word.

Zhou Leping sighed lightly, walked over and squatted in front of her, ”Just relax and say what you want, don't be afraid of anything, I am here.”

”Chief General …” Lin Jing swept his eyes across her, ”Are you trying to console me, or are you trying to threaten me? Everyone knows the reason behind Madam Wang's appearance here. Shouldn't the general be hiding from her at this time? ”

This old fellow actually went back and forth, it was clearly him secretly threatening her, just as Zhou Leping was about to open his mouth to refute her, Zhao Shiqian suddenly spoke out to stop her, ”Brother Kong is right, you can withdraw first.”

”Your majesty!”

Zhao Shiqian looked at her with his bright eyes, ”Step down!”

Zhou Leping was helpless, he could only bow and retreat to the side.

”Madam Wang, I want to ask you, did you work with Zhou Zheng to steal the secret information from the General's Estate? Who is the man that often meets you?

This chain of questions caused the Madam Wang to be unable to resist. She stammered, ”This humble woman … ”This humble woman …” After that, he just couldn't continue.

Zhao Shiqian was annoyed by this matter, but seeing Madam Wang like this made him even angrier. He furrowed his brows and looked at Lin Jing, ”Secretary of State, what does this mean?”

Lin Jing did not expect the woman to be so unenlightened after being beaten up, but she could not waste such a good chance, so she asked Zhou Leping to leave after seeing that he was afraid.

Zhou Leping clenched his teeth, ”Did she see that I was scared, or did Master Lin use some other method to threaten me? You were afraid that I would see through it, so you intentionally sent me away? ”

Lin Jing cupped his hands towards the Emperor in front of him, ”Your majesty, even if I were to eat the bear heart leopard, I would not dare to threaten her. I only want her to speak the truth.”

”You didn't dare to threaten them in public, so you decided to hit them in private before calling them over, right?”

Lin Jing laughed faintly, ”Why is General so excited? ”Could it be that I'm afraid …”

Zhou Leping could not stand his weird tone and could not hold it in any longer, so she pointed at him and said, ”What am I afraid of? If I am straight, I am not afraid of the shadow slanting, what do I have to be afraid of? ”

Her conscience was clear, but others did not know that she did not know how to restrain her edge. In the eyes of others, it was just a futile attempt to argue when she was about to die, so it was really inappropriate for her to stay.

Zhao Shiqian stood up, his gaze sweeping past the Madam Wang, and landed on Zhou Leping's body, ”This matter can end here for today, everyone can temporarily put Zhou Zheng in prison, and then lock him up, we will send people to interrogate him. In order to avoid suspicion, you can stay in General's Estate for the next few days.”

”Your Majesty …” She wanted to refute a few more words.

But Zhao Shiqian did not plan to listen to her anymore. Two people came in to take Madam Wang away, while another two came in to ask her to go out.

The Emperor told her to stay in the General's Estate because he wanted her to stay under house arrest.
