The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

"Yue Fei, do you really intend to kill me today?"

Seeing Yue Fei draw his sword to strike, Tang Situi cried out in alarm.

"Is that even a question? Prime Minister Tang, you can side with the Jurchens, you can stop His Majesty's northern expedition for the gentry of Jiangnan, and you can even win over the entire court to threaten His Majesty."

"Which of these crimes is enough to warrant the execution of your entire family?"

"You have one last chance to say something. If you have any last words, I can pass them on to you."

"Of course, I still hope that you will honestly admit your identity as a spy and confess how many people like you there are. If His Majesty is soft-hearted, he may spare your people."

The knife was already being offered to him.

Tang Situi could feel the chilling aura emanating from him.

Looking into Yue Fei's eyes, he had no doubt that this Grand Marshal Yue, who had died once, would really kill him!

"Spare your people? What about my true form then?"

After a brief hesitation, Tang Situi carefully considered his words and tried to negotiate terms.

Yue Fei smiled.

"That depends on whether what you did is forgivable and whether the information you provide is enough to save your life."

"Of course, regardless of whether these two conditions can be met, at least your people's lives will most likely be saved."

Tang Situi said something that was right.

He really didn't have a single piece of evidence. Even if he captured and killed the person, Yue Fei felt that he probably wouldn't be able to find any substantial evidence of collusion with the Jurchens.

He wouldn't fabricate evidence.

Therefore, if Tang Situi were willing to confess his crimes and implicate some people, it would actually be a better outcome!

"Yue Fei's methods were quite clever!"

Outside the canopy, Liu Che exclaimed in amazement.

"Methods? What methods did you come up with?"

Liu Bang was immediately bewildered.

"How come you only saw one word?"

"Which word?"

"Go for it!"

"You don't really think that Yue Fei rushed to Tang Situi's residence overnight to threaten him and force him to confess, do you?"

"if not?"

Seeing that Liu Che had not yet reacted and that many people were still asking him questions, Liu Bang became somewhat impatient.

"What kind of acting skills do you think can fool an old fox like Tang Situi?"

"At least someone as straightforward as Yue Fei, even if he had died once, could not have escaped Tang Situi's notice."

"The only explanation is that Yue Fei led the Imperial Guards into the Prime Minister's residence with the original intention of killing him and wiping out his entire family!"

"But Tang Situi realized his purpose and then began to try to negotiate terms."

"However, in my opinion, someone like Tang Situi would most likely not survive in the end."

After patiently explaining, Liu Bang also shared his own perspective.

What were the prerequisites for Tang Situi's survival?

Besides the fact that the people he implicated were of sufficient importance, his own crimes also had to be within the range that Zhao Shen could accept.

However, judging from Liu Bang's discerning eye, this person didn't seem to have any bottom line.

Yue Fei wanted to use him as a scapegoat, but before he could even touch a single person, he simply backed down.

To put it nicely, he's a smart person.

To put it bluntly, such people have no bottom line; they belong to whoever has the biggest fist.

Before the miraculous intervention that brought Yue Fei to the Song Dynasty, whose fist was bigger?

"But Yue Fei was really decisive. He made an example of the chicken to warn the monkeys, and he used the biggest chicken as his target!"

"Once this chicken is killed, everyone else in the court, whether they are chickens or monkeys, will have to carefully consider what they should do and which side they should stand on."

Zhao Kuangyin originally thought that Yue Fei would start with the lower-level officials, or even more leniently, with the gentry in Jiangnan.

It was truly unexpected that he would dare to directly target Tang Situi.

If Tang Situi hadn't backed down and actually slaughtered his entire family, the whole of Lin'an would probably have been shaken by dawn tomorrow.

By then, Zhao Shen will probably start to regret how he dared to give Yue Fei the authority to act expediently.

After all, no one could have imagined that Yue Fei, who had died once, would change so much.

"However, why do I feel like I see someone's shadow in Yue Fei..."

Old Zhu looked at the sky with some confusion.

He was impulsive yet meticulous, and when Tang Situi started to negotiate terms, he was able to regain control of the situation.

"This looks a bit like Zhao Heizi!"

In the last challenge, Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, was just like that, being both reckless and meticulous, firm yet gentle, and using all sorts of methods with ease.

"He is, after all, a subject who accompanied me in the challenges. Isn't it normal that he learned something from me?"

Zhao Kuangyin smiled with satisfaction.

To be honest, Yue Fei's actions were far better than he had anticipated!

Just as everyone was discussing this enthusiastically, in Tang Situi's residence, before Yue Fei could ask any more questions, he rattled off a series of names.

After having someone write them down, Yue Fei counted them carefully after they finished reporting, and found that there were nearly twenty people!

No wonder that as soon as Zhao Shen spoke up in court about launching a northern expedition, Tang Situi and these dozens of others stood up with a strong stance almost simultaneously.

The remaining pro-peace and fence-sitters were mostly swayed by these people!

"Prime Minister Tang has quite a wide range of intelligence; even a minor sixth-rank official is under your control."

After glancing at all the names, Yue Fei couldn't help but chuckle and scoff.

Even he couldn't help but sigh inwardly at this moment.

The Southern Song Dynasty under Zhao Gou was truly rotten to the core!

Qin Hui has been dead for so many years, and most of his former disciples and officials have been sent to remote places and have not served as officials in the court.

Under such circumstances, it's astonishing that there were still so many Jurchen spies in the court.

It's hard to imagine how many people in the entire Song Dynasty were truly loyal to the country when Qin Hui was prime minister and his students were all over the country!

"That's all I know for now. The rest are either officials who genuinely want to maintain peace or officials who stand with the Jiangnan gentry."

In order to save his life, Tang Situi completely ignored Yue Fei's taunts.

He spilled everything he knew, almost like beans pouring from a bamboo tube.

"Is something still missing?"

If that were all, Yue Fei would clearly not be satisfied.

"What else...?"

Tang Situi looked somewhat guilty.

"What do you think? As a spy for the Jurchens, do you think they wouldn't tell you what their next move is?"

Yue Fei suddenly realized this as well, and almost got fooled by the old man!

"No, no."

Tang Situi shook his head repeatedly.

"The Jin people only asked me to maintain peace between the Song and Jin dynasties; they had no other demands."

Although that's what he said, Yue Fei always felt that the old man was hiding something.

but……

He thought about it and realized that the immortal's inventory didn't seem to mention this old thing, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Take the man back and lock him in jail to await His Majesty's decision."

"There's still a lot left to do tonight. Take down everyone on the list!"

Outside the sky.

Watching Yue Fei arrange things one by one, Old Zhu fell into deep thought.

He also remembered that Tang Situi must have done something that had quite serious consequences.

What is...

"No, what this old man did is far more complicated than he makes it out to be!"
