Ancient paintings connect the present, I hoard goods to support the villain Wang

Chen Daming knelt in front of Xiao Jingyan, kowtowed, admitted his mistakes, and had a good attitude.

But Xiao Jingyan was dismissive of it.

He knew that the reason why Chen Daming was so nice was simply because he wanted to sacrifice the car to save the king.

Wang Tiezhu, who was standing by, couldn't help but scold him when he saw his expression.

"Old Chen, you are also a general. How do the prince and the Xiao family treat us normally? How could you do such a thing?"

He glared at Chen Daming with a look of disappointment.

"You, you, you!"

Liu Deyou and Guo Wen were also very angry with him and didn't know what to say.

"Brother Liu, Brother Guo, Brother Wang, please help me beg for mercy from the prince!"

Chen Daming still wants to find foreign aid!

Without waiting for the three of them to speak, Xiao Jingyan slammed the table angrily.

"Chen Daming, if you really just want to make some money, I will turn a blind eye."

"Who exactly is your master? Or, let me ask this another way, who in the capital are you working for?"

Hearing Xiao Jingyan's words, Chen Daming broke out in a cold sweat.

The prince actually knew everything?

He was so frightened that he was beginning to feel overwhelmed.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this...?"

Liu Deyou didn't quite understand and asked with a bow.

Xiao Jingyan sighed and said bluntly, "The people in the capital have already learned about the supplies we obtained from the Immortal in the Painting, and they have mistakenly believed that I and all of you have surrendered to the enemy."

Before planning to act out the drama with Qian Shuo, Xiao Jingyan did not tell anyone that he was misunderstood as a traitor by the emperor.

In the Xiao family army, only Zhi Ren and Zhi Mo knew about it.

Hearing this, Guo Wen immediately understood.

He asked, "So, when we first got the fairy food, it was Chen Daming who sent a message to the imperial undercover agent in Shanqian Village?"

After he explained this, everyone else understood.

"Oh, I was wondering why we just got the food in the morning and they came to steal it in the afternoon!"

Wang Tiezhu suddenly understood.

After knowing the truth, he wanted to beat Chen Daming up even more.

Chen Daming pursed his lips, naturally refusing to admit it, and wanted to continue defending himself.

Xiao Jingyan had already seen through his little thoughts, and before he could speak, he rushed to say:

"Although this king disdains the use of torture to extract confessions, in extraordinary circumstances, it is not excessive to use some drastic measures."

"Chen Daming, you're a soldier, you might not be afraid of a whip, but your beloved woman has delicate skin. She probably can't withstand a whip dipped in salt water, right?"

Xiao Jingyan glanced at Chen Daming coldly.

His tone of voice was actually quite calm, but when he mentioned the phrase "whip dipped in salt water", Chen Daming couldn't help but shudder.

Just by listening, they know how painful it is!

"I……"

Chen Daming hesitated and seemed unwilling to plead guilty.

Xiao Jingyan lost his patience and ordered:

"Zhimo, please invite Miss Hongyan over."

"Zhiren, go prepare the whip and salt water. Remember, the whip should have barbs, and the salt water should have plenty of salt. Otherwise, how can we disinfect the wound?"

It was obvious that he said this on purpose to scare Chen Daming.

Chen Daming was a smart man. He knew that his lover was a prostitute and naturally could not withstand such torture and would definitely confess.

It would be better for him to surrender himself than to let the prince hear it from her mouth. This way, at least he can leave behind a good reputation of being brave and responsible.

Thinking of this, he no longer resisted.

"Your Majesty, I know I am wrong and am willing to accept any punishment."

After he finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily to Xiao Jingyan.

It's an apology for my stupid behavior.

Seeing him like this, Wang Tiezhu and others sighed for him silently.

If I knew today, why bother?

"Tell me, who is the person who bribed you? What benefits did he promise?"

Xiao Jingyan continued to ask.

Although he had already made up his mind about the identity of Chen Daming's employer, he still wanted to confirm whether the man was the one he had in mind.

At this point, Chen Daming stopped pretending and confessed to Xiao Jingyan.

"The person who has been in contact with me is Prime Minister Pei. I asked him, and he said that all this was instructed by Your Majesty. Otherwise, even if he had the courage of heaven, he would not dare to go against you, Your Majesty."

When he heard the word "Your Majesty", Zhimo also looked at Xiao Jingyan with a heavy expression.

Seeing that there was no special expression on his face, he became even more worried.

"Prime Minister Pei bribed you. Besides delivering news from the military camp to him, what else did he ask you to do?"

Zhimo, who has always been more rigorous and thoughtful, helped Xiao Jingyan to get to the bottom of the matter.

Chen Daming shook his head and said with certainty:

"Nothing else."

"I only told Prime Minister Pei what happened recently in the army."

Although he didn't know what was wrong, Zhimo always felt something was wrong.

He looked at Xiao Jingyan. At this time, Xiao Jingyan was playing with his mobile phone in his hand, and his mind seemed to be completely not on Chen Daming.

Seeing this, Zhimo felt tired and squinted his eyes.

Ever since the prince obtained the scroll left by the old prince and entered the world in the painting, his whole heart has been hooked by the fairy in the painting. I'm afraid he has not been with them for a long time.

But his idea was really unfair to Xiao Jingyan.

It was true that he was playing with his mobile phone in his hand, but his mind was definitely thinking about what was happening at the moment.

From Chen Daming's erratic eyes and his hands tightly clutching his clothes due to anxiety, Xiao Jingyan could tell that he must be lying again.

What Prime Minister Pei asked him to do was far more than just monitoring the Xiao family army.

"Take him away and lock him up."

"It's nothing. General Wang, General Liu, and General Guo will stay. The rest of you, please leave."

Xiao Jingyan ordered.

Everyone knew that he had another special task to give to Wang, Liu and Guo.

After seeing everyone leave, Xiao Jingyan looked at the three people beside him, and his lazy eyes instantly became shrewd.

"After all, Chen Daming is an old man under my father's command. It is not convenient for me to interrogate him. However, what Prime Minister Pei wants him to do is far from as simple as it seems."

"The task of interrogating him is now handed over to you three. Make sure you make him speak and tell everything he knows!"

Xiao Jingyan raised his eyebrows, and his sharp eyes cast a thin layer of icy mist on his narrow and graceful Ruifeng eyes.

By the end of his words, there was a hint of impatience in his tone.

Everyone present knew that the young prince was angry, so they clasped their hands, bent their waists, and dared not breathe.

"Yes, I understand."

In the end, it was Wang Tiezhu who mustered up the courage to step forward and take on the task. He replied to Xiao Jingyan and left with the others.

Zhi Ren didn't dare to stay with this moody little prince any longer, so he left with the three of them.

Zhimo was in no hurry to leave.

"Your Majesty, regarding Prime Minister Pei and His Majesty, what are your future plans?"

Now, all the civil and military officials in the court, led by Prime Minister Pei and the emperor, want him dead.

At present, they cannot return to the capital openly.

For Xiao Jingyan, there was really nothing to worry about or worry about in the capital.

Even though they grew up together, Zhimo still couldn't figure out Xiao Jingyan's personality.

He suspected that Xiao Jingyan wanted to join Qian Shuo, or stay in Lingyao City and not return to Beijing.

Otherwise, he would not have sold the gifts given by the fairy in the painting to Wanyan Longmu at a high price.

But he remembered that Xiao Jingyan said that he would never betray Dayong.

He really didn't understand why the prince was trying to please the former young prince.

"Put everything else aside for now. Tell the people in the capital to transport all the valuables here through the tunnels under the palace."
