Chapter 669: Revenge Never Overnight (Last Part)
Feeling the murderous intent coming to his face made Fang Wenbi's body tremble violently, like a fish on the verge of death, and the fear in his eyes could not be hidden at all.
After a while, he said anxiously: "Mr. Li, it's a villain who is wrong. He shouldn't have treated you like this. I hope you will be a lot of people and spare me. As long as you let the villain go, I swear that I will never dare to be enemies with you again in the future..."
"You don't seem to understand what I said. I'm asking you who made you so harm me." Li Ling was unmoved and patted the other person's face twice. "I might consider letting you go to the truth. If you think about him again, this is your burial place."
These words were said lightly and cleverly, but the pressure on Fang Wenbi was greater than that before. He obviously felt that Li Ling was really good at killing him, even if he had a military general like Dong Gongwang as his backer. After understanding this, his body shook again and made a final struggle: "Mr. Li, I am Dong Shuai's man, you can't, you can't..."
Li Ling had lost patience, and suddenly he hooked his feet, and he hooked the stool that was placing his body at Fang Wenbi's feet, keeping his body from falling aside. In just a moment, the other party's body had suddenly sunk, and the rope around his neck was retracted, making his eyes protruding, and his mouth broke immediately. His face was full of pain, but he could only make a strange sound, and his body twisted violently.
Just when Fang Wenbi thought he would die, his feet suddenly became firmer again, his body stabilized again, and the feeling of sagging in his throat improved. Then a cough gushed out, almost causing him to cough out all his internal organs, and his heart was full of fear. Only then did he know why Li Ling wanted to put himself in this way.
After he was almost coughing, Li Ling spoke again: "Can you say it now?"
There were no threatening remarks, but the actions just now made people understand one thing. If they don’t cooperate, Li Ling’s action would make him die of pain. At this point, he had no choice but to say in a whisper: “I said, it was Dong Shuai who asked me to do this…”
Seeing that Li Ling did not make a sound, Fang Wenbi knew that this sentence was far from enough, so he said slowly: "Because we have never been able to take Yunzhou, but the court has put great pressure on Dong Shuai. If we cannot conquer Yunzhou by the end of March, we cannot come up with a reasonable reason. I am afraid that Dong Shuai will be severely punished, so we can only... "
"So you thought of pushing the fault to logistics supply. As long as I confirm my crime, I will be able to deal with the court at that time?" Li Ling continued calmly.
Fang Wenbi nodded: "It's precisely this... sir, we... are just confused for a moment and have done such a bold move. We will never dare to do it again in the future. I hope sir will spare my experience. Dong Shuai's side, the young man will talk, so he will definitely not dare to pursue this matter again."
Yang Chen, who was listening to this interrogation, looked a little solemn at this time. Gong Wang Dong Wang was famous and powerful in the northern border. It was really not something that Li Ling, a fourth-rank official in the imperial court, could handle it, even if it was added to the Imperial City Department. After all, this is the northern border rather than the capital Luoyang, and the rules of the game are different.
So in his opinion, this matter is really difficult. It is easy to deal with Fang Wenbi, but what about Dong Gongwang behind him? But if he lets him go, everything will be fine. Don’t say whether he is willing to give up, I’m afraid that if he lets the tiger go back to the mountain, Fang Wenbi will definitely take revenge after he goes back. It’s really a dilemma.
Just as he was struggling with whether to let someone go, Li Ling suddenly sneered: "You are really prepared for an excuse, but do you think I will believe it?"
Yang Chen was stunned. What does this mean?
Fang Wenbi was also a little surprised, and a strange look flashed in his eyes quickly, and then he struggled: "Mr. Li, what the villain said is the truth. If you don't believe it, you can go and investigate. We are indeed blocked in Yunzhou and cannot be defeated for a long time. The court has indeed urged him many times..."
"I'm not saying that there is a falsehood when Dong Gongwang was blocked on the front line, but that it is a falsehood when you were ordered by Dong Gongwang to harm me!" Li Ling stared at the other side, "At this point, you still dare to fool me with such a remark. Do you really think I am stupid or don't dare to kill you?"
"Maybe Dong Gongwang did have a tacit attitude in this matter, but it was not his strong opinion. I and Gongwang and I have never even met each other before. He could not have thought of using such means to harm me, and it was such a means of ignoring the consequences.
"Also, you can't even call Di Jingfei, which is a big flaw. If Gong Wang really wants you to kill me here, and then push the crime of ineffective military use to my lack of logistics, you will give you greater authority. At least you must ensure that the Fengzhou garrison Di Jingfei is willing to help you do things. But in fact, you don't even have this guarantee, and in the end you will ruin a big deal because of him.
"So you said, why do I believe your words? I believe that Dong Gongwang wants to harm me?"
After a clear inference, not only did Fang Wenbi change his color, but Yang Chen also showed surprise. This time, his thoughts were even more complicated. If what Li Ling said was true, then what character was hidden behind Fang Wenbi?
"Mr. Li, you are too worried. It's not as you guessed. No one else let me harm you except Dong Shuai." At this point, Fang Wenbi became tough and insisted on looking back at Li Ling.
A cold light flashed in Li Ling's eyes, and another hook was hooked on his feet. The stool fell down, and Fang Wenbi hung in the air again. After the rope was tightened, the throat clattered. After a while, his face turned purple and red, and his tongue stretched out.
Seeing that he was about to be hung, Li Ling put the stool back under his feet, and Yang Chen hurried over to loosen the rope around Fang Wenbi slightly for him. But even so, he was still in a semi-coma. After all, it was because of the neck hanging, which caused the brain to be hypoxia, which was not easy to recover.
Li Ling didn't have much patience to wait for him to wake up automatically. With just one look, Yang Zhen understood it and immediately went outside to scoop a large scoop of cold well water and poured it on the other party's face. Fang Wenbi's body suddenly shuddered and quickly came back to his senses. Then he coughed heart-wrenchingly, and after a while, he returned to his calmness.
At this time, when he looked at Li Ling again, he was filled with horror, just like he was watching a man-eating demon. If it weren't for being tied up by a rope, he would have shrunk into the corner.
Li Ling didn't care about the other party's performance, but just stared at him and said, "Can you tell me the truth now?"
"I...I'm telling the truth..." Although he suffered a lot, Fang Wenbi still refused to change his words.
"Then how do you explain my previous questions?"
But he couldn't answer now, so he could only say after a silence: "If you don't believe me, I can't do anything. At worst, I'll just die!"
It's really a bit tricky for him to be so bachelor. But Li Ling laughed, "I can't tell, you are quite brave. It's said that there is a great horror between life and death. After you have experienced it, you still haven't retreated. I'm a little impressed."
Seeing his attitude suddenly changed, Fang Wenbi was also happy. He thought he had won the respect of the other party, so he continued to whisper: "Although Fang Wenbi is not talented, he also knows which one is more important. I just die, how can I compare..." He suddenly stopped talking. His expression froze. Then he realized that he had been slutted by Li Ling, and he unconsciously revealed that he did not explain.
Li Ling was also looking at him with a playful look, but he secretly called luck in his heart. If it weren't for the storm that had just made him experience life and death, his whole body wouldn't have recovered, his words might have been able to elicit the truth. But after seeing the other party reacting, shut up urgently, and revealing the attitude of "I won't say it again if I kill this time", he shook his head disregardlessly: "You still haven't understood what the most terrible thing is."
"Indeed, you have put life and death aside. Even if I use the same trick, you will not surrender. But do you really think that killing you is the greatest revenge? No, that's just the beginning. I, Li Ling, do things, either don't do it or do it. You are my enemy, and it is naturally not enough for me to kill you. I will try my best to find all your family. Your parents, your wife and children, your brothers and sisters...
"Don't think I'm scaring you, do you know who these two are? They are from the Imperial City Department. I think you should be very clear. As long as the Imperial City Department has mastered some of your situation, it should be easy to find someone related to you, right? If you refuse to cooperate, within two or three months, your family will follow you and accompany you. Think about it carefully, should you be loyal to the master who put you in the northern border and suffer, or to protect your family."
If he had almost no feelings, it would be more terrifying than any coercion and inducement when he fell into Fang Wenbi's ears. This made his body tremble again, and the fear and entanglement in his eyes were about to overflow. This time he really regretted it. If he had known that this guy was so cruel, he would have retreated and reluctant to mess with him.
But now, everything has come true, what else can I do?
"I...I said..." After a while of silence, he finally spoke slowly... After a few words, Li Ling's expression became extremely solemn, and his eyebrows were entangled together.
The Yang brothers were also surprised. No matter how brave they were, they would have the idea of escaping the door after hearing this secret. They really didn't expect that the person who wanted to harm Li Ling was so high that they couldn't even have the idea of a counterattack.
However, in the end, Li Ling kicked off the stool under Fang Wenbi's feet and hanged him on the beam of the house. Even if he had such a big backer behind him, it would not stop Li Ling's determination to take revenge.
