Datang romantic little landlord

So even if Mi Tuo was beaten to death, Li Wangyou didn't believe that the two of them would be able to tell the truth if he proposed such a condition.

Li Wangyou raised his third finger at this time: "Thirdly, I have a sage's decree here, which can pardon one of you. Whoever confesses the truth first, after finding the prince, he will forget the past! And the other One person will be decisive, and even the nine clans will be implicated!"

He stared at Yueran seriously: "Yueran, how do you think Niantao will choose? Well, that's all I said, where to go, you decide for yourself."

Li Wangyou stood up: "I'll give you some time to think about it. But maybe Luan Tao, maybe she thinks faster than you."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and opened the door and walked out without even looking at the palace maid Yueran who was stunned on the ground.

And behind him, Mi Tuo was also dumbfounded.

Damn, can you still interrogate prisoners like this?

441 Yue Ran Confession

Mi Tuo, who was still secretly laughing at Li Wangyou, couldn't help being taken aback after hearing these three conditions from Li Wangyou.

These three conditions, at first glance, seem to be nothing special.

But Mi Tuo carefully understood the conditions proposed by Li Wangyou, but was shocked to find that this seemed to be a dilemma.

He put himself into it, if he was one of Na Yueran and Niantao, how would he deal with himself when he heard such a condition?How would you choose?

Mi Tuo couldn't help but his body trembled, and cold sweat flowed down his face.

Terrible, really terrible!

He couldn't help looking at Li Wangyou's back, and in his heart, he was a little more afraid of the young founding county uncle.

Mi Tuo made up his mind that in the future he must not provoke this Hu County uncle.It's really scary that Uncle Hu Xian can play with people's hearts to such an extent.

After analyzing the three conditions given by Li Wangyou, he felt that if it was him, no matter what kind of offensive and defensive alliance he had made with his companion before, he would choose to betray his companion in exchange for the most beneficial choice for him.

Because he can't guarantee what choice his companion will make.

Out of self-interest, Mi Tuo will definitely choose to betray his companion.

Mi Tuo didn't know that this is the game theory of later generations, and the prisoner's dilemma is the most typical example.

Among the three choices given by Li Wangyou, if both Yueran and Niantao choose not to admit it, then they can only resign themselves to fate and leave their fate to Li Er for trial.

But since before they would rather be punished, even almost beaten to death, than reveal Li Zhi's whereabouts, it is obvious that this choice should be the best choice for them.

But whether it was Yue Ran or Niantao, neither of these two court ladies could confirm that the other party would not choose to betray him.

As long as people have selfishness, for example, they will make choices that are beneficial to themselves.

Faced with the torture and temptation of Baiqisi's criminal case veterans, they can still stick to their alliance relationship, and for a certain purpose, they will not let go.

But now facing the conditions proposed by Li Wangyou, they not only have to be sure that they can keep the secret, but also have to believe [-]% that the other party will also keep it secret.

And firmly believe that the other party will not "benefit others at the expense of others", this is really a test of human nature.

The game proposed by Li Wangyou not only made Mi Tuo break out in cold sweat, but the palace maid Yueran also froze and her fingers trembled unconsciously.

"Then, is that decree true?"

Li Wangyou hadn't stepped out of the door when he heard the palace maid Yueran asking in a hoarse voice behind her.

When she spoke, not only Li Wangyou couldn't help raising his eyebrows, Mi Tuo also opened his eyes wide.

Is this ready to confess?

In fact, the court ladies Yue Ran and Niantao were already at the limit of what they could bear, not because of the fetters in their hearts, they might have already opened their mouths.

Faced with the game conditions proposed by Li Wangyou, Yue Ran didn't struggle too much, so she made a choice.

Li Wangyou turned around and walked back, squatting down in front of the maid Yueran again, unfolding the imperial edict in her hand to show her carefully.

"Have you seen it clearly? The imperial decree written by the sage himself, as long as you confess and explain clearly the whereabouts of the prince, you will be pardoned."

Originally, Li Er was unwilling to pardon the court lady, but in his heart, he wished he could tear them all to pieces to relieve his hatred.

It was Li Wangyou who pleaded for Li Zhi's safety, which made Li Er reluctantly write this edict.

The palace maid Yue Ran stared at the imperial decree in Li Wangyou's hand, and finally spoke after a long time: "I am willing to confess..."

As soon as she said this, a big stone in Li Wangyou and Mi Tuo's heart fell to the ground at the same time.

In fact, Li Wangyou was also so nervous that he was going to die. He had never done this kind of interrogation of criminals. It was the first time for a big girl to get on a sedan chair.

He took a deep breath, stood up, waved to Mi Tuo, and motioned for him to ask.

Mi Tuo bowed his hands gratefully to Li Wangyou, and squatted in front of Yueran.

"You tell someone first that the Queen gave birth to a prince?" Mi Tuo asked very nervously.

Since the maid Yueran opened her mouth, she was very happy.

She nodded: "Yes, that's right."

Mi Tuo's heart almost jumped into his throat: "Is the prince safe now? Where is he?"

Yue Ran hesitated for a few seconds, finally bit her lower lip and said.

"After replacing the prince from the Lizheng Hall, Fan Yu asked me and Nian Tao to throw the prince into the well and drown him..." When she said this, she coughed violently because of the pain in the wound, and the anxious Mi Tuo wished he could strangle her.

Mi Tuo knew that the Fan Yu Yueran was talking about was the name of the woman Wen who had hanged herself.

"Hurry up, what happened afterwards? You, you didn't take the prince..." Mi Tuo's body began to tremble, and he didn't dare to continue speaking in the middle of the sentence, for fear of hearing the frightening answer.

If these two maids really threw the prince into the well and drowned, then the world would really fall apart.

Yue Ran finally stopped coughing, and shook her head lightly: "Nian Tao and I took the prince out of the Lizheng Hall and found a well, but no one dared to throw him down. We finally found a well In secret, I hid the prince, and originally thought that I would send him out of the palace and give him up for adoption. But I didn’t expect that something would be exposed, and the palace guards would arrest me.”

After she finished speaking, Mi Tuo almost knelt down and kowtowed to the gods and Buddhas in the sky, thanking Taoist ancestor for blessing, the prince is still alive!

His voice trembled: "You, tell me quickly, where is the prince now?"

"In the garden behind the Lizheng Hall, there is a ginkgo tree. There is a big hole in the branch of the ginkgo tree. I found it when I was picking ginkgo fruits. Together with Niantao, I hid the prince It's in the hollow on the ginkgo tree." The palace maid Yue Ran didn't hide anything now, she confessed everything.

Mi Tuo didn't bother to continue interrogating her, turned around and ran out of the house together with Li Wangyou.

Li Wangyou remembered that when he saw Princess Changle in the back garden of Lizheng Hall last time, he did see many ginkgo trees.

The two led a group of palace guards and Baiqisi's men, held torches and headed towards the garden.

"Search for me! Don't let go of every ginkgo tree! Be careful not to hurt His Royal Highness!" Mi Tuo was out of breath and didn't care about other things. He immediately ordered his men to start searching for the ginkgo trees in the garden. Tree.
