Chapter 1215 Mastermind
Maybe Ogawako took a chance on this because she took a chance.
In addition, the person who uses his close body must be clean, so Li Chen needs to check Ogawako clearly.
After dealing with the matter of Ogawazi, Li Chen came back and learned that Zhao Rui had actually pried open the palace maid's mouth, which surprised Li Chen very much.
"I don't remember that you can torture me." Li Chen teased Zhao Rui.
Zhao Rui, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, blushed slightly and said, "Although I don't know how to interrogate, I know how to grasp the psychology of others."
"This palace maid seems to be fierce and extremely vicious, but in fact, the more such a person is, the more he is, the more he is afraid of the torture before his death."
"Because in his opinion, even though he knows that he is bound to die, it's better to go and have another one."
"Anyway, I know nothing after death, so there is no need to pay the extra cost of being punished for the already destined result."
"Of course, the premise is to be able to break through his psychological defense, otherwise she might be happy to die with the secret of who is the mastermind behind the scenes."
"What I said makes sense." Li Chen nodded in agreement.
While the two of them were talking, the palace maid who had only half breathed was brought up.
When Li Chen looked at her fingers with blood and her fingernails disappeared, he knew that she must have suffered extremely cruel torture before.
But Li Chen didn't care.
Faced with this person who almost killed him, Li Chen wished her to die sooner.
After taking the confession handed over by the Jinyiwei, Li Chen frowned after reading it.
Originally, Li Chen thought it would be a vassal king or Yelu Shenxuan, or even Zhao Xuanji, but the result was not these three parties.
The real mastermind behind the scenes is actually a person Li Chen had never thought of... Hu Pi.
The grain price case a few days ago was under the pressure of Li Chen. The Ministry of Justice, the Inspectorate, and the Dongchang took the shortest time to find out the case, and then handed the closing report on the case as soon as possible.
The case was investigated very clearly, and the mastermind was Hu Danwei's brothers.
Although Hu Pi is their father and most of the officials Hu Dan is looking for for the two brothers are because Hu Pi is here, so he has the courage to get involved, but it turns out that Hu Pi himself has nothing to do with this case, but he is just implicated.
Therefore, although he was asked to be held accountable, he was not immediately asked and killed like Hu Dao for his two brothers.
Instead, he was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, waiting for the exile of the border in the autumn, which was also recognized by Li Chen.
But Hu Pi, who was sitting in prison, had the ability to instruct the palace maids to come and assassinate him. This incident made Li Chen feel strange everywhere.
After pinching the confession with two fingers, Li Chen said to the palace maid: "Do you know what the consequences of random frame-ups are?"
She gasped heavily, and the pain almost made the palace maid faint again, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "I don't need to lie to you. Anyway, it's a death for me. Since I've told you, I will tell you the truth and just want to die happily."
Li Chen said indifferently: "In the confession, you said you were a girl in Hu Pi's mansion. He asked someone to bring a letter from the prison to you, and hoped that you would find a way to enter the Eastern Palace and assassinate this palace. Is there any evidence for this statement?"
The palace maid said weakly: "The letter my master asked someone to bring is on me, you will know it once you search."
Li Chen waved his hand, and immediately a eunuch walked forward. He reached out to search the palace maids and found a letter.
