Chapter 1338
After dealing with Wang Chen and Luo Hongzhi, Zhao Feng's gaze fell on Zhang Yi and the other two again: "Marquis Heqing, Marquis Zhulu, Marquis Huaiyuan... they don't look too well."
Zhang Yi, Zhu Shou, and Cao Xing then realized their lapse in composure and quickly averted their gazes, their eyes darting away guiltily.
Fortunately, Zhao Feng didn't go berserk and beat them up this time.
Instead, he ordered them to continue deeper into the prison, and after arriving at a spacious and dark cell, he had them pushed inside.
Zhang Yi and the other two finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But then they heard Zhao Feng standing outside the cell, his voice calm and unhurried, saying in a low voice, "Did you feel relieved after entering the cell?"
"Don't you think... that if you just stay here for a while, the Duke of Liang, the Duke of Kaiguo... and many other marquises and military officials from Huaixi will be able to quickly suppress everything in Yingtian Prefecture and then come here to save you?" Zhao Feng's face still carried that mocking look.
Although he spoke these words softly and slowly.
But to Zhang Yi, Zhu Shou, and Cao Xing... it was like a thunderbolt: Zhao Feng had already figured this out!!
They would have chosen to surrender and be escorted to this prison in order not to alert Zhao Feng and to allow them to secretly contact their adopted sons and confidants in the army.
In the end, it was all for nothing? We were all innocent victims and got beaten up by this idiot and thrown into prison?
Greatly alarmed.
Marquis Zhu Shou, however, remained calm, feigning ignorance and denying, "What...what are you saying? I don't understand."
If the other party really knows everything, it doesn't matter whether you deny it or not.
What if the other party is just testing me with a question, and I accidentally confess in my haste? Wouldn't that be a huge loss for me?
Zhang Yi and Cao Xing quickly realized what was happening and denied it in unison:
"What do you mean by 'save me'? I've done nothing wrong, I'm not afraid of you trying to smear me!"
"Exactly! If you thought Lan Yu and his group were up to something, would you, Zhao Feng, still be standing here so calmly? And would you still have time to talk to us like this?"
"..."
Looking at the three men's clumsy explanations, Zhao Feng shook his head and smiled helplessly: These military officers are used to being arrogant and conceited, and their attempts to cover up their blunders were full of flaws from beginning to end, even somewhat ridiculous.
Zhao Feng knew that Lan Yu and the others were definitely going to cause trouble.
But he is quite free now. His Majesty has only given him one task, and obviously he doesn't need to worry about the rest.
So at this point, Zhao Feng simply crossed his arms and leaned against the cell bars, chatting with them for a few more minutes: "I have to say, your acting skills are really quite poor."
"Your eyes dart around aimlessly as you speak, and your words are utterly incoherent. Even if I didn't know before, your blatant attempt to cover it up should make it clear."
"Besides, have you forgotten? The spies that His Highness Prince Yan used to instigate and incite you have been in my hands for so long. The two of them have been cultivated around you for a long time. How could I not know the details?"
Hearing what Zhao Feng said.
Zhang Yi, Zhu Shou, and Cao Xing exchanged glances, all seeing a grim sense of unease in each other's eyes.
Indeed... with so much information they possess... it's impossible for them to be completely unprepared.
Zhang Yi knew he had come here for nothing, and the truth could no longer be hidden. So he stopped pretending and said with a stern face, "Hmph! So what if you know? It just means things will be a little more complicated and there will be a few more obstacles! Do you think you can stop anything?"
"If you know what's good for you, release him right now, immediately, or I might just be in a good mood and spare you from this disaster!"
