Noticing Di Xin's gaze, Su Hu became even more nervous.
Before he entered Zhaoge, he had felt a little relieved because of his daughter Daji's words. He thought that he would at least be safe this time.
However, who knew that after they entered the palace, the first person the king met was not his daughter Daji, but himself and Chonghou Hu!
He didn't know how this King, who seemed to have changed, would deal with him.
Just as Su Hu was feeling uneasy, Di Xin spoke.
"Su Hu, I should have exterminated your clan according to the law for your crime of rebellion.”
"However, since you took the initiative to surrender and sincerely sent your daughter into the palace to show your repentance, I will give you a chance to turn over a new leaf.”
"Tell me the true reason for this rebellion, and I can promise that I will only take back your fief and title, so that you can still be the general of the Imperial Court and lead Jizhou.”
Di Xin stared at Su Hu.
His promise was equivalent to removing Su Hu from his position as a duke and making him the general of Jizhou City.
However, they still had a place in the north.
Such a punishment was already extremely generous for a traitor.
However, he had to betray Ji Chang.
Su Hu couldn't help but hesitate.
It wasn't hard for him to think that if he told them about Ji Chang now, then when the vassals paid tribute a few days later, he would be able to find out more about Ji Chang.
His confession was the evidence that this king had directly attacked Ji Chang.
However, from Di Xin's question, it wasn't hard for Su Hu to guess that this king probably already knew some of Xi Qi's secrets.
In addition, Ji Chang was clearly using him as a suspect. Su Hu immediately said in his heart.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I almost made a big mistake this time. Other than my ruthlessness towards Your Majesty when you offered incense in the Nuwa Palace a few months ago…Cough, I'm not satisfied with your actions."
"Most importantly, Marquis of the West Ji Chang sent someone to inform me a month ago that Xi Qi had conspired with the king's brother, Wei Ziqi, to support him in seizing the throne.”
"He also secretly roped in many dukes, including King Pingling of the East Sea and Yuan Futong of the North Sea.”
Su Hu said.
On the way to Zhaoge, he had vaguely heard that the king had changed and was no longer the ruthless ruler he used to be.
Now, it seemed like that was indeed the case.
Since he had already made up his mind to return to the Shang family, he naturally didn't plan to cover up anything for Ji Chang.
Hearing Su Hu's words, Di Xin's lips curled up.
He had planned to wait a few days to use Su Hu's confession as evidence against Ji Chang.
In the end, he did not expect to have an unexpected gain.
Clearly, this new father-in-law Su Hu knew the names of many dukes who had secretly made friends with Xi Qi.
He could find a way to get rid of them when the vassals paid tribute a few days later.
Thinking of this, Di Xin immediately had Su Hu list out the names of the dukes.
...........
In the bedroom of the North Palace.
At this moment, there was a beautiful foxy woman sitting in the pavilion with a frown.
She had been waiting for several hours since she entered the palace, but she had never seen King Zhou, Di Xin.
This made the nine-tailed fox Daji feel uneasy.
Because, from what she knew, this Great Shang ruler should be a fatuous ruler who loved beauties.
Logically speaking, he should have already come to the Northern Palace to meet him.
Could it be that the rumors he heard when he first arrived in Zhaoge were true?
Just as Daji was thinking about this, she suddenly heard a voice coming from not far away.
"Beauty, what are you thinking about? Why are you so lost in thought?”
When Daji came back to her senses after hearing the voice, she saw that a young man in a black imperial robe with golden patterns had appeared not far away.
Di Xin also took the opportunity to size up Daji.
A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
It had to be said that Daji's appearance was indeed enough to bring disaster to the country and people.
Unlike Queen Jiang's dignified and virtuous manner and Concubine Huang's heroic spirit, Daji had a trace of the unique charm of a nine-tailed fox.
