Fan Jin was imprisoned in the Heaven Prison.
The imperial prison was usually used to imprison people who were related to the royal family or officials of the government. It was also called the prison.
Even though the prison was a big shot, it was actually not as good as an ordinary prison.
Because the prison was above ground, there was at least a window so that the prisoners could see the sun outside.
The imperial prison was a huge basement that was completely dark.
Usually, it was impossible for people who were locked up here to leave alive.
The moment Li Jin Nian arrived, he smelled a rotten and damp smell.
"It smells bad, right?"
Fan Jin's hands and feet were all shackled and he could not move at all.
From a grand cabinet scholar, a first-rank official of the imperial court, he had suddenly become a prisoner.
This huge change in status did not seem to have changed his state of mind.
"This prison hasn't been locked up for more than ten years. No one has lived here for so long, and no one has cleaned it up.”
Li Jin Nian looked at him and said.
"Ever since His Majesty ascended the throne, this prison has never been used again.”
Fan Jin recalled.
"You should have asked someone to clean up earlier. At least the environment would be better when you came in.”
A jailer brought over a chair. Li Jin Nian sat down and faced Fan Jin.
"There's no need for that. I'm going to die anyway.”
Fan Jin said with a smile.
Li Jin Nian couldn't help but think highly of him because of his extraordinary psychological quality.
"Tell me, why are you looking for me?”
Li Jin Nian went straight to the point.
He was indeed very busy and didn't have much time to deal with Fan Jin.
"I want to discuss a business deal with Lord Li.”
Fan Jin said.
"Do you think you have the right to talk to me now?”
Li Jin Nian sneered.
"I can help you."
"Do you think I need it?"
Li Jin Nian asked.
He had come today with no intention of getting any useful information from Fan Jin.
Or rather…
Even if Fan Jin was willing to say it, he was not willing to believe it.
A person who could even betray his own country, what credibility was there to speak of?
"Then do you want to hear my story?”
Fan Jin asked.
"To be honest, I don't want to."
Li Jin Nian shook his head and said calmly.
This reaction of his really made Fan Jin unable to do anything.
After all, the officials of the Ministry of Justice and Imperial Censorate interrogated him for a long time, but he did not say anything.
Those people were extremely anxious.
But now that she was willing to take the initiative to explain, Li Jin Nian did not even want to hear it.
"Losing to you is not unfair."
Fan Jin glanced at him and said sincerely.
"You're not bad yourself. You almost destroyed the entire Da Feng by yourself.”
Li Jin Nian said.
His words were a little tactful.
Because in real history, there were two main culprits that caused the destruction of Dafeng.
One was the empress, and the other was Fan Jin.
"Indeed. If you hadn't appeared, no one in the Great Feng Imperial Court would have been a match for me.”
Fan Jin wasn't being modest.
Li Jin Nian did not say anything about this.
Because what he said was the truth.
In history, until the fall of Dafeng, no one knew that Fan Jin was a spy of the Xiongnu.
He hid it well.
"If I'm not wrong, Grand Scholar Fan wants me to help you save someone.”
Li Jin Nian looked at him and asked.
"How did you know?"
Fan Jin was shocked and looked at Li Jin Nian with fear.
He had never told anyone about this.
"Today, I got someone to go to the Ministry of Personnel to pull out your file and found something interesting.”
"More than thirty years ago, you were once the magistrate of the Northern Desert, but you mysteriously disappeared for a period of time.”
"At that time, everyone thought you were killed, but a week later, you came back. The reason you gave was that you were lost in the desert with your family.”
"Unfortunately, no one doubted this at the time. Because in the desert, it was very normal to get lost in the desert. There were also many people who got lost in the desert and could never be found again.”
"And when you went back, you were alone. You told everyone that your wife and daughter had returned to your hometown because your father-in-law and mother-in-law were seriously ill.”
"I think this matter is very strange. I originally planned to send someone to your hometown to investigate.”
"But it just so happened that one of your fellow countrymen came to the capital to complain, so I called him over and asked him if he knew you.”
"He said that he knew about the situation, but he didn't know who you were. So I asked him about your hometown.”
"I wouldn't have known if I didn't ask, but I was shocked when I asked. He said that you don't have any in-laws at all. Your wife is an orphan and she was brought to your house as a child bride when she was very young. This fellow villager also said that you and your wife have a very good relationship. When you were young, your mother's health was not very good, and your father had been doing business outside. Your wife was the only one who took care of the housework.”
"Based on this suspicion, I have a bold guess.”
At this point, Li Jin Nian's gaze fell on Fan Jin and met his gaze.
It was as if he wanted to see through the inner thoughts of the world.
"Actually, your family of three didn't go missing in the desert. You were kidnapped by the Xiongnu.”
"During the week when you disappeared, you were actually taken to the capital of the Xiongnu.”
"Xiongnu Chanyu used your wife and daughter as a threat to make you a spy.”
"And your wife and daughter are still hostages in the Xiongnu.”
"And the Xiongnu people didn't expect that you would rise all the way up to become a Grand Secretary of the Imperial Cabinet and enter the power center of the Great Feng Imperial Court.”
"You said you wanted to see me, but you actually wanted me to save your wife and daughter. In return, you would provide me with some information about the Xiongnu.”
"Grand Scholar Fan, I don't know if I'm right.”
A confident smile appeared on Li Jin Nian's face.
"All right."
After saying this, Fan Jin was like a deflated ball. His entire person became dispirited.
Then, she broke down and started crying.
The Chinese netizens who were watching the live broadcast witnessed this scene with their own eyes. For a moment, they felt a little complicated.
Some people felt that Fan Jin deserved it, while others felt that he was actually quite pitiful.
However, most people were still crazily praising Li Jin Nian's wisdom.
"God Li is really amazing. With just one clue, he was able to follow the clues and dig out the inside story of Fan Jin being a spy.”
"What is the God of Reasoning!”
"This Fan Jin has a good plan. He was exposed and was worried that the Xiongnu would kill his wife and daughter. Now that he thought of using the information of the Xiongnu to make a deal with Shen Li, why was he thinking so beautifully?”
"I really want to kill this bastard. Has he ever thought about how many people died because he gave information to the Xiongnu?”
"Yes, I think Fan Jin must have something to do with the Xiongnu being able to break through Northguard Fortress.”
The netizens were indignant and wanted to rush into the screen and stab Fan Jin twice.
In fact, Li Jin Nian was no less angry than the netizens.
"You were the one who sent Kong Xun to burn the Northguard Fortress's granary, right?”
Li Jin Nian looked at him and asked.
"Yes."
"You were the one who leaked the military deployment of the Northguard Fortress, right?”
"Yes."
"You really deserve to die."
Li Jin Nian stood up abruptly and glared at Fan Jin.
"The lives of your wife and daughter are lives, but the lives of 100,000 soldiers in Northguard Fortress are not lives?”
"Isn't the life of millions of people a life?”
"As far as I know, your wife's father died fighting the Xiongnu on the battlefield. Her mother also died of depression because she missed her husband too much.”
"Do you think your wife would still be willing to live if she knew that you were a spy and caused so many people of Dafeng to die tragically under the Xiongnu cavalry?”
"And your daughter. If she knew that her father was a traitor who betrayed the country and the people, would she be able to hold her chest high?”
"Fan Jin!"
"To think that you've read so many books of sages. You've really read on dogs!”
Li Jin Nian pointed at Fan Jin and cursed,
