The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

Chapter 216: Choosing Interrogation

"Your Majesty, are you saying that the traitor last time was Mo Yan?"

Li Shun's voice rang out in the hall, his face full of complicated expressions.

Li Shun had no doubt about Yun Zhi's words. Now that His Majesty said so, he had the evidence.

What he found unbelievable was that the traitor was actually Mo Yan.

For a moment, Li Shun felt heartbroken for the person he promoted.

"Yes, it was Mo Yan. After returning, he went to the teahouse many times, actually passing intelligence on to the enemy country. Also, a lot of ill-gotten gains appeared in his mansion..."

Listening to Yun Zhi recounting Mo Yan's crimes, Li Shun took a deep breath, clasped his fists, and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty of negligence in allowing such a traitor to infiltrate the army. I beg Your Majesty to punish me."

Yun Zhi waved her hand and said, "General Li, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on you. Mo Yan is good at disguising himself, so it is understandable that you did not notice it for a moment."

Looking at Li Shun, who was looking at him with a face full of self-blame, Yun Zhi had an unpredictable expression. She gently stroked the lines on the chair and said, "This traitor is one of General Li's men. I will leave him to you to deal with."

Li Shun raised his head, a glint of determination in his eyes. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust. I will fulfill my mission and bring these traitors to justice!"

Yun Zhi nodded and said, "I await your results. By the way, don't forget, Mo Yan may have accomplices behind him. We must eradicate them completely, leaving no one behind."

Li Shun replied solemnly: "Your Majesty, rest assured. I understand!"

"Well, go ahead. I hope General Li can give me a satisfactory result. Don't... let me down."

Yun Zhi was smiling at this moment, but Li Shun's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that there was something else behind His Majesty's words.

He twitched his fingers at his side, "Your Majesty, I will live up to your trust and capture Mo Yan and his followers in one fell swoop, restoring peace to our dynasty."

Yun Zhi nodded slightly, "That's very good, General Li, I trust you."

"Then I will take my leave first."

"Go."

Looking at the figure striding away, Yun Zhi put away the smile on her face.

Li Shun had no idea that his wife had been switched, so Yun Zhi was willing to give him a chance.

She will guide Li Shun step by step to discover the abnormality of the person next to him, and then it will depend on his decision.

If he can sacrifice his relatives for the sake of justice, Yun Zhi can forgive his past for the sake of his many years of contributions.

But if...

Yun Zhi chuckled, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. Then don't blame her for being ruthless.

On the other hand, after Li Shun left the palace, he immediately ordered people to secretly arrest Mo Yan and put him in prison.

Inside the prison, Li Shun looked at the bound and tortured Mo Yan with a look of disappointment. "Mo Yan, I've treated you well. Why would you commit such a treasonous act?"

Mo Yan sneered, "General Li, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places. I am just seeking a better future for myself."

Li Shun shouted angrily: "You shameless man, for your own selfish interests, you betrayed your country and your comrades. Where is your conscience?"

Mo Yan, however, was nonchalant. "Conscience? In this chaotic world, how much is conscience worth?"

Li Shun was so angry that he was shaking all over. "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"I anticipated this day when I decided to do this. General, I will kill you or chop you up, it's all at your disposal."

Li Shun took a deep breath and tried to suppress his anger. "You don't care about yourself, don't you care about your family?"

family?

Mo Yan's expression changed instantly, then returned to normal. His family's lives were not as important as his own.

The people above had promised that if he was caught, they would try to rescue him.

As for his family, if they are dead, they are dead. As long as he is still alive, it is enough.

Li Shun looked at him and knew that it would be difficult to get anything out of him through interrogation.

"Lock him up first. No one is allowed to approach him without my order." After giving the order, Li Shun turned and left the prison.

Returning to the general's residence, Li Shun sat down on the chair tiredly and rubbed his eyebrows.

At this time, Ming Yue walked in and saw Li Shun's worried face. She asked with concern, "Husband, what is bothering you so much?"

When she got closer and smelled the not-so-obvious smell of blood on him, Mingyue's expression changed.

Looking at his wife approaching, Li Shun sighed, "Madam, we all misjudged Mo Yan."

He noticed Mo Yan because of Ming Yue.

That day, Mingyue was almost hit by a frightened horse when she was walking on the street. It was Mo Yan who saved her.

After returning, Mingyue mentioned this matter to him, and her words were full of gratitude to Mo Yan.

From then on, Li Shun paid more attention to Mo Yan. Discovering that he was indeed talented, he gradually promoted him. However, he never expected that he would end up raising a tiger to harm himself.

Ming Yue's eyes flickered when she heard the name. Could it be that Mo Yan had been discovered? It seemed that the only option was...

A fierce look flashed in her eyes, and then she returned to normal in an instant, "Why would my husband say that?"

Listening to Mingyue's question, Li Shun shook his head and said, "Nothing, it's getting late now, let's go eat first."

"okay."

Early the next morning, Li Shun rushed to the prison.

As soon as I arrived at the prison gate, I saw the jailer running towards me in a panic.

"General, someone broke into the prison last night and wanted to kill Mo Yan."

Li Shun's heart tightened. "What? What's the situation now?"

The jailer panted and said, "Fortunately, we found him in time. Mo Yan was only injured and his life is not in danger for now."

When Li Shun walked into the prison, he saw Mo Yan, whose face was pale with fear.

Hearing footsteps, Mo Yan raised his head.

After what happened last night, Mo Yan knew that they would never save him. If that was the case, don't blame him for fighting to the death.

"General, I will tell you everything I know."
