Wang Tingxiang and Hu Zongxian naturally knew each other. The two were about the same age, but they were on two completely different paths. Hu Zongxian embarked on the path of leading troops. Wang Tingxiang embarked on the path of being a noble and noble envoy.

Hu Zongxian looked at Wang Tingxiang standing opposite him calmly. His pale hair, pale face, and a dirty cotton jacket would naturally not let Hu Zongxian show his true nature as a governor. Not to mention a governor, even an emperor, if he was in the current situation, he would not look like an emperor, let alone Hu Zongxian?

However, Hu Zongxian did not have any fear, nor did he look like begging for mercy.

calm!

Only peace!

Wang Tingxiang is also an extraordinary person. He has been an official for decades and has personally handled dozens of officials. He has already raised his power. However, when he collided with Hu Zongxian's calm eyes, his heart still trembled. He calmed down for a moment, walked forward, and held Hu Zongxian with his own hands and said:

"Brother Hu, sit down first."

Hu Zongxian did not refuse. With the help of Wang Tingxiang, he landed on the chair. Wang Tingxiang sat opposite him and poured a cup of tea for Hu Zongxian with his own hands. Hu Zongxian picked up the teacup, drank it all, put down the teacup, and then looked at Wang Tingxiang calmly again.

Wang Tingxiang picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Hu Zongxian, but this time Hu Zongxian did not drink it, but just looked at Wang Tingxiang sitting opposite him calmly.

Wang Tingxiang sighed and said, "Brother Hu, the Jinyiwei didn't make things difficult for you, right?"

Hu Zongxian did not speak or act extra, and still looked at Wang Tingxiang opposite him calmly. Wang Tingxiang's face was not at all embarrassed, as if he was just saying that just now, and he was just polite and did not point at Hu Zongxian to answer.

"Brother Hu, aren't you surprised why I left Beijing and stopped you here?"

Hu Zongxian was still looking at Wang Tingxiang opposite him calmly, and Wang Tingxiang said in a solemn voice: "Because as long as you arrive in the capital, you may not have died in the prison for no reason before the trial begins."

Hu Zongxian's calm gaze fluctuated a little, but then he returned to calm and said nothing.

A hint of sarcasm appeared in Wang Tingxiang's eyes and said, "Brother Hu, you understand people too. You should understand the truth that people will not punish themselves for themselves. Now someone has settled your past crimes, but your past crimes threaten the great man in the court today. For the future of that big man, you have no choice but to die."

Hu Zongxian lowered his eyes, as if he wanted to cover up the uneasiness in his eyes, but his breathing became rapid and could not be covered.

"Brother Hu, since others have already become murderous, why should you stick to it? Take the blame for being scolded by thousands of people alone?"

"Are I being scolded by thousands of people? What you said doesn't count?" Hu Zongxian raised his eyelids and looked directly at Wang Tingxiang and said:

"Maybe after I die, you will be the ones that are being scolded by thousands of people."

Wang Tingxiang shook his head and said, "A man dies like a lamp that goes out. You are not alone. Once you fight against these crimes alone, your family will be implicated. How can you bear it?

not to mention……

Many of the charges are you taking the blame for others, so why are you doing this?"

Hu Zongxian lowered his eyelids again and stopped talking.

"Brother Hu, being able to arrest you means you have the real evidence. Not to mention your corruption and bribery, we also know that you occupy half of the Ming Hai Trade, and we also know that someone occupies more.

Who are you?

You are officials of the Ming Dynasty and have high positions. But you are in a mixed bag with merchants. Why do those merchants give you members? Isn't it to embezzle the interests of the Maritime Bureau?

You are borers, eating the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.”

Hu Zongxian frowned slightly. Of course, he occupied the Ming Hai Trade participants, and of course Luo Xin occupied more, but neither of them had a real identity within the Ming Hai Trade. Hu Zongxian knew that Luo Xin had obtained the identity of the Ming Hai Trade as a chariot and horse business.

If Wang Tingxiang could get real evidence, he would definitely alarm the horses and horses. Luo Xin would not know the news. In this way, this is just a speculation in Wang Tingxiang and the others' hearts, or if they heard some rumors, there was absolutely no conclusive evidence. In other words, they did not know that the boss behind the horses and horses was Luo Xin. After thinking about this, Hu Zongxian's heart was shocked. The real target of these people was not him, but Luo Xin. Wang Tingxiang's words just now were provocations.

but……

Is it really a provocation?

Luo Xin really won’t kill him because his existence threatens his future?

"Don't be lucky anymore." When Wang Tingxiang saw Hu Zongxian, he still looked like he was not afraid of boiling water, so he became stronger and said:

"Just based on the evidence of sin we have, not only will you die, but your family will be implicated, and exile is certain."

"I can't understand what you said."

Hu Zongxian said calmly, but his heart was extremely uneasy. He knew that if there were no powerful people to protect him, he would have finished it. His evidence of his crimes was too easy to find. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but admire Luo Xin. Luo Xin was so clean and neat about his work, leaving no trace of flaws left.

only……

Will Luo Xin save himself?

He can't count on others, and only Luo Xin is the only one.

Now Luo Xin has two choices, one kills Hu Zongxian and the other protects Hu Zongxian.

How would Luo Xin choose?

Hu Zongxian doesn’t know!

However, Hu Zongxian was preparing to bet. He did not believe in Luo Xin, but had to believe in Luo Xin. He really had no one to help him.

If Luo Xin repaid him, he would not be able to ask for it. If he killed him, he believed that Luo Xin would leave a bloodline for the Hu family, which would be enough.

Otherwise, once he bites Luo Xin out, he and Luo Xin will be in trouble. No one will protect his Hu family's bloodline, and the old Hu family will be defeated.

"There is no use to quibble." Seeing Hu Zongxian pretending not to understand, Wang Tingxiang said with a gloomy face: "Even if you refuse to confess, you will be dead with the evidence we have. However, if you are willing to confess the instructor behind the scenes and make meritorious service, you will not only let your tribe members go, but also let you survive."

Hu Zongxian showed a hint of sarcasm on his face and said, "If you want to interrogate me, then escort me to Beijing according to the meaning of the imperial edict. The imperial edict has not said that, interrogate me here."

"you……"

Wang Tingxiang's face changed and he was furious. At this time, he already knew in his heart that it was impossible to defeat Hu Zongxian's psychological defense with words. Hu Zongxian experienced many battles, how could he easily defeat his psychological defense?

"Why do you have to?"

Wang Tingxiang actually put away his angry expression and looked at Hu Zongxian lightly.
