Chapter 266 The secret begins

When Li Ke came to Dali Temple, Sun Fujia and Dai Zhou had already congratulated outside the door for a long time. When they saw Li Ke, they hurriedly saluted, and Li Ke also walked into Dali Temple with their company.

Sun Fujia and Dai Zhou welcomed Li Ke to the living room of Dali Temple. Before the three of them could say a few words, they saw Wei Zheng walking in quickly. Li Ke respected Wei Zheng more. Before Wei Zheng could salute him, he had already stood up and walked towards Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng did not dare to ask Li Ke to salute him. He quickly stepped forward to salute Li Ke. Li Ke supported Wei Zheng, "Secretary Supervision does not need to be polite. The father ordered you to assist me in investigating the case. I still need to ask you a lot of things. It is Ke who needs to be the etiquette of the secretary and supervisor." Then Li Ke suddenly politely said to Wei Zheng, "In the future, we will have more guidance from the secretary and supervisor!"

Wei Zheng had no time to stop him, and received a gift from Li Ke, and then he said politely, "Your Highness is too humble, and the lower officials will definitely know everything."

When Li Ke heard Wei Zheng say this, he knew in his heart that Wei Zheng was perfunctory, but he still smiled and asked Wei Zheng to sit down. When Wei Zheng sat down, Li Ke continued, "The father ordered me to be responsible for this case, with the assistance of Secretary Wei and Dali Temple. It can be seen that this case has become very complicated now, and we cannot delay it for too long. Therefore, I hope that everyone can work together to solve this case this time!"

As soon as Li Ke finished speaking, Sun Fujia and Dai Zhou met Li Ke, and Wei Zheng nodded repeatedly.

Immediately, Li Ke continued to say to Wei Zheng, Sun Fujia and Dai Zhou, "You are already very clear about the case. Both the mastermind and the murderer have been arrested. The current problem is to solve some unreasonable parts involved in the case. If the Fusang warriors sneaked into the palace, how easily they went to the medicinal kitchen to take medicine, and how they escaped later, these doubts must be solved. Also, Li You's problem cannot be ambiguous. Why did he take the medicinal materials from the medicinal kitchen before the incident, and why did he bring the guards to the palace on the day of the incident? "Li Ke said here, staring at the three of them and said sternly, "Since my father wants me to be responsible for this case, I will never tolerate the traitor!"

Then, Li Ke began to discuss the case with Wei Zheng and the other three, discuss the specific steps, and asked the three to express their opinions. Later, they analyzed the feasibility and practicality of the three opinions one by one, and finally determined the decision to find a breakthrough from Fusang Princess Rieko Morita. However, even so, the four of them did not ignore Li You's point and still listed Li You as the key person for detailed investigation and questioning.

After the four people finished the discussion, Li Ke ordered Dai Zhou to lead the way to the dungeon of Dali Temple to interrogate Fusang Princess Rieko Morita. Dai Zhou did not dare to neglect and hurriedly led the way for Li Ke, while Wei Zheng and Sun Fujia were with Li Ke.

Sun Fujia is Li Ke's confidant, and it is understandable that he is respectful to Li Ke. However, at this time, Li Chengqian or Li Tai will see the current attitude of Dai Zhou and Wei Zheng towards Li Ke, and the two will definitely go crazy, because Dai Zhou and Wei Zheng are also extremely respectful to Li Ke.

However, others may not know the reason, but Li Ke is very clear in his heart. The reason why Wei Zheng and Dai Zhou were so respectful to him was due to the unfair reasons they had handled their affairs before. The case could have been investigated, but after hearing the opinions of Wang Gui and Liu Zhenghui, they chose to close the case. Finally, they woke up from Li Shimin's anger, so they felt guilty towards Li Ke, and their current performance just proved Li Ke's conjecture.

Seeing the attitude of Wei Zheng and Dai Zhou towards him, Li Ke showed an arrogant smile on his lips. Why is he so wronged? Why is he so hard-working to manage it? Apart from Hou Ruoyi, isn’t it just for Wei Zheng and Dai Zhou? Now that his goal has been achieved, what else is he unhappy?

The four of them came to the interrogation room in the dungeon. Dai Zhou asked Li Ke to sit in the main seat, and he and two servants brought Rieko Morita to Li Ke. Rieko Morita did not expect to see Li Ke again in this way in this place, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"Don't be surprised, it's normal. My father ordered me to be responsible for this case, so there was nothing to make a fuss!" Li Ke said lightly.

"I have seen His Highness the King of Han!" Rieko Morita was a little surprised for a moment, and instantly regained her expression, and then bowed to Li Ke.

"Rikeko Morita, do you know the purpose of this king coming to the dungeon today?" Li Ke said with a faint smile.

"I know, but it will disappoint Your Highness, because I can't say anything." Rieko Morita took a deep breath and said firmly.

Li Ke glanced at Rieko Morita. He didn't say anything. The smile on his face in the dim fire made Rieko Morita secretly frightened. Although the smile was kind and friendly, it was like a needle in cotton, which made her feel ache in her heart. She didn't know why she felt like this. Could it be an hallucination? However, it turned out that this was not an hallucination, it was a real feeling in her heart.

"You said you know the purpose of this king coming here, but through your words just now, I can conclude that you actually don't know the real purpose of this king coming here." Li Ke said calmly, "You are very confident, but have you ever thought that when a person is overconfident, he will feel arrogant and inferior in his heart."

Rieko Morita's face began to turn pale. She was silent and stopped talking, but just bit her lip. Li Ke's words deeply penetrated her heart. When a person is overconfident, he will feel arrogant and inferior. Indeed, for her, this sentence is like a portrayal of herself. Others may not know or understand, but she knows in her heart that Li Ke's words are not wrong, and for her, what she said is really correct.

"Tell you the truth. I came to the dungeon today not to hear what you said, but to tell you something." Li Ke said lightly, "I just want you to understand something. You seem insignificant in the Tang Dynasty. I can let you die at any time, and it is very intriguing."

Speaking the four words of patience and slightest thoughts, Li Ke's serious face showed a cunning smile, but Rieko Morita naturally guessed the meaning of his words. Therefore, Rieko Morita chose to remain silent. At this time, Li Ke did not continue to speak, but just looked at her quietly. He knew when to say it and when not to say it. This was the time for Rieko Morita to think, and it was the time for her to struggle in her heart.

After a while, Rieko Morita suddenly looked up and said to Li Ke with a firm look, "I want to hear what Your Highness is going to say to the little girl?"

Perhaps after some inner struggle, Rieko Morita had recovered her original temperament and attitude, and no longer looked like a woman who was deeply imprisoned.

"It's just a secret, about the secret between you and the messenger of Goryeo, about the secret between you and Li You, and the two messengers of Fusang, Mita-Saki and the pharmacist Eri." Li Ke said word by word, he bit each word very clearly, making these words seem like they were nailed to her heart in Morita Rieko's ears. While shocking her heart, it was also sucking her few self-confidence.

"Princess, do you still want to know now?" Li Ke continued to say to Rieko Morita in pain, "You can choose to remain silent, and you can also refuse to listen to what I want to say, but I still have a way to make you speak, and will also let you tell me everything you know without thinking about it. The reason why I am willing to ask you so patiently is that I just don't want you to suffer from flesh and blood."

"I am very responsible to tell you that the three warriors around you are not qualified to enter the palace to poison. There are other people who poison. "Li Ke's words were like a thunder, which surprised Rieko Morita, and also shocked Wei Zheng, Sun Fujia and Dai Zhou beside him.

Rieko Morita was surprised at how Li Ke knew that there was another person who poisoned the poison instead of the warrior who had confessed? She had never told anyone except herself that the person who poisoned the poisoning in the palace, but now Li Ke said that there was another person, how could she not be surprised?

After all the blows from Li Ke just now, coupled with his words, Rieko Morita's heart's defense has collapsed at this moment, and the little bit of confidence in her heart has disappeared.

Originally, she still had a little bit of confidence in her heart. The reason for her confidence was that after hearing the confession of the warriors around her, Wei Zheng and others believed that the person who poisoned the palace was the warriors around her. Now, after Li Ke said this, the secret in her heart was revealed, and her eyes were distracted, like a sunken eggplant, without any vitality.

Wei Zheng, Sun Fujia and Dai Zhou were shocked no less than Rieko Morita's surprise. They did not expect Li Ke to say such a conclusion, but when the three of them saw Rieko Morita's silent without refuting expressions, it was obvious that she had already admitted what Li Ke said. Therefore, Wei Zheng, Sun Fujia and Dai Zhou said nothing but admitted the truth of what Li Ke said.

At the same time, all three of them were secretly shocked. How complicated is this case? Since the samurai around Rieko Morita was not the one who actually went to the palace to poison, then all their previous conclusions would be overturned? Do you mean that there are more hidden information and passwords behind the case?

The three of them changed their faces slightly when they thought of this, and they didn't dare to continue thinking because they all thought of one person - King Li You of Qi.
