Chapter 6142

Lin Bai patiently listened to Xia Jingzhi's confession, and concluded that Xia Jingzhi confessed many things, but there were only four things that Lin Bai was most concerned about.

What Xia Jingzhi confessed was a question that Lin Bai had been unable to resolve.

Nanjiang Chonggu is located in the extreme south of the demon world, while Chu State is located in the extreme east of the demon world, the distance between the two is like the distance between heaven and earth.

Why did Nanjiang Chonggu go to so much trouble to plant secrets in Chu?

Could it be that Nanjiang Chonggu wanted to overthrow the royal family of Chu State and control Chu State?

But this is not realistic either.

The distance between the two is too far. Even if Nanjiang Chonggu defeats the royal family of Chu State, it is impossible for Nanjiang Chonggu to govern the territory of Chu State across thousands of mountains and rivers, right?

Lin Bai did not find the answer to this doubt from Xia Jingzhi's confession.

Xia Jingzhi only explained that he "conspired with Nanjiang Chonggu to infiltrate Chu State and act as a spy", but when asked about the purpose of Nanjiang Chonggu's actions, Xia Jingzhi shook his head repeatedly, expressing that he did not know.

Letting the tortures of purgatory be imposed on him in turn, he kept shaking his head, expressing that he really didn't know.

Looking at Xia Jingzhi's appearance, Lin Bai didn't seem to be lying.

He really didn't seem to know the purpose of Nanjiang Chonggu's actions.

When Lin Bai raised this question, His Royal Highness Chen Wang lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes for a little thought, "The monsters in the insect valley in the southern border naturally have some unbelievable ideas."

"We need to torture Xia Jingzhi a lot before we can find out about this matter."

His Royal Highness Chen Wang played a sloppy eye and did not tell Lin Bai directly.

But Lin Bai could tell from His Highness Chen's eyes and expression that His Highness Chen might have guessed it, but it might be a secret of the royal family, so His Highness Chen didn't say it outright.

Since His Royal Highness Chen Wang had something to hide, Lin Bai didn't continue to ask more questions.

Immediately afterwards.

Lin Bai heard the second thing Xia Jingzhi confessed.

The second thing Xia Jingzhi confessed: In the imperial capital of the Chu Kingdom, Xia Jingzhi, who was seriously injured, quickly gained the trust of the third prince after being protected by the third prince and escaping the false pursuit of Chonggu in the southern border.

With the support of the third prince, Xia Jingzhi's injury quickly recovered. Immediately afterwards, Xia Jingzhi helped the third prince with many things.

One of them is to poison the first prince and the second prince!

And in Xia Jingzhi's confession, he explained in detail how he poisoned him and how he avoided eyeliner.

When he decided to help the third prince deal with the first prince and the second prince, under Xia Jingzhi's careful planning, he decided to refine "God and Demon Tribulation", one of the seventy-five king poisons in the Southern Border Insect Valley.

As for why he chose God and Demon Tribulation, Xia Jingzhi also gave an explanation.

God Demon Calamity, colorless and odorless, the poisoned person does not have any signs of poisoning, only after the corpse is completely decomposed, the bones will appear pitch black.

But at that time, the corpses had already been buried in the loess, and it was safe to be buried in the soil. Who would open the coffin for an examination of the corpse?

The most important thing is... People with status like the first prince and the second prince are not weak in cultivation, and they all have the cultivation base of Taiyi Daoguo realm.

After the Taiyi Daoguo realm warrior dies, his body can remain incorruptible for a hundred years, and if other secret methods are used, it can even remain incorruptible for a thousand years.

As a member of the royal family, no one dared to peel off the corpses of the eldest prince and the second prince to examine his bones, which would be disrespectful.

Therefore, Xia Jingzhi chose God and Demon Tribulation.

Xia Jingzhi refined Shenmojie. After the refining was successful, the third prince did not directly entertain the eldest prince, but invited the eighth prince to invite the elder prince along with him.

The eighth prince is hospitable, especially fond of eating and drinking, and is humorous. He is the best and most lively among the princes of Emperor Chu.

Moreover, the eighth prince didn't have any scheming to surrender, and he had a good relationship with many princes.

The relationship between the third prince and the eighth prince is the best.

With the invitation of the eighth prince, the eldest prince will definitely come.

The eldest prince was invited to drink in the government office, and Xia Jingzhi secretly put the refined Shenmo Jie into the eldest prince's drink.

The eldest prince drank the wine, and Shenmo Jie entered his body.

Five years later, the eldest prince retreated and broke through his cultivation base. The God and Demon Tribulation lurking in his body suddenly broke out at the critical moment of the eldest prince's breakthrough.

The eldest prince has just fallen!

This is the second thing Xia Jingzhi confessed, how to poison the eldest prince.

After hearing this, Lin Bai narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath.

From Xia Jingzhi's confession, we know that the poisoning of the First Prince was carefully calculated and arranged by Xia Jingzhi and His Royal Highness the Third Prince.

Almost no flaws were left.

Lin Bai continued to listen.

The third thing Xia Jingzhi confessed to: killing the second prince with poison.

After the death of the eldest prince, the third prince did not gain the trust and favor of His Majesty Chu Emperor as expected. On the contrary, after the death of the eldest prince, His Majesty Chu trusted the second prince very much, and intended to support the second prince to become the heir apparent.

then.

The third prince showed his butcher knife again, and asked Xia Jingzhi to refine the demon robbery again, and used the same method to invite the eighth prince to a banquet, and asked the second prince to come together, and asked Xia Jingzhi to add the demon robbery to the second prince's drink.

The God Demon Tribulation thus entered the second prince's body.

Two years later, the Second Prince made a breakthrough in retreat, and the Tribulation of Gods and Demons broke out again.

The second prince died.

After hearing the two things Xia Jingzhi confessed, Lin Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

This confession is enough to ruin the third prince's reputation.

Framed for the crime of poisoning the royal family, it is enough to make the third prince miss the throne.

Immediately afterwards.

Lin Bai heard the fourth thing that interested him.

The fourth thing Xia Jingzhi confessed: the twelve princes were also framed by the third prince.

Although Xia Jingzhi did not personally participate in this matter, he understood it very clearly and made some efforts.

The thing is probably... After the first prince and second prince died, the third prince got the trust and love of Emperor Chu as he wished.

But the third prince discovered that the Chu emperor not only favored him, the twelve princes seemed to have more favor than him, but they were not as sufficient as the eldest prince and the second prince.

The third prince understood what Emperor Chu meant, and wanted him to compete with the twelve princes to find a way to check and balance.

Perhaps it was also because of the strange and sudden deaths of the first prince and the second prince, which made Emperor Chu suspicious and wanted to test many princes.

The third prince knew that he could no longer use God and Demon Tribulation, otherwise, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of Emperor Chu.

then.

He did it himself and dealt with the twelve princes.
