Chapter 103: Interrogation
Song Lan stood behind Lu Ziyou, her eyes tightly together, the two hands in front of her stirred together, her head lowered, her throat slid up and down, her whole body was slightly tight, the corners of her eyebrows were frowned, and she didn't say a word.
Lu Yunxi glanced at Song Lan, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, and she followed Lu Ziyou forward.
Seeing that Lu Yunxi and Lu Ziyou had disappeared in front of his eyes, Song Lan coughed twice, frowned, and walked forward quickly.
Along the way, the guard told Lu Ziyou how he caught this person on the second gate at a glance.
After Lu Ziyou listened, the corners of his eyebrows not only did not relax by half a minute, but became even more nervous.
Listening to the guards, this man didn't seem to be an arsonist, but rather deliberately went to the courtyard to find something or someone.
Only then did Lu Ziyou remember the abnormality of Song Lan's behavior.
The two hands at his side couldn't help but clench together, his head bowed, his throat moving lightly, and there was a slight sense of foreboding.
Seeing Lu Ziyou showing such a look, Lu Yunxi stepped forward in confusion, glanced at Lu Ziyou's side face, and said in a low voice, "Father, is there anything wrong?"
Lu Ziyou pursed the corners of his eyes and shook his head slightly.
The man in black was locked up in a dark room in the courtyard of Ermen.
This house has not been inhabited for many years, and it was originally a house set aside for interrogation when the house was built.
The room was full of all kinds of torture instruments, and the man in black wore a black cloth on his head and five ropes tied around his body, standing by a pillar on one side.
There were three or four little guards outside.
As soon as they saw Lu Ziyou and Lu Yunxi, the few little guys opened a road one after another, and one of them had already stepped forward quickly and opened the door of the black house.
"This man first came out of the main courtyard, sneaky, and when he arrived at the second gate, he wanted to turn over and get out of the courtyard. Fortunately, Liu Yan saw clearly and jumped up and caught this person. ”
As he spoke, the little man who opened the door turned sideways, took the candlestick from the hand of the man behind him, and poked it into the room twice.
This was the first time Lu Yunxi had heard the name of that guard.
She turned her head and glanced at Liu Yan.
The man in the darkness probably sensed that someone was coming in from outside the house, tilted his head slightly, and struggled twice with his hands tied to the pillar.
Seeing this, Liu Yan stepped forward a few steps, grabbed the man's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Don't move!"
When the man heard this, he gave up struggling.
Seeing this, Liu Yan simply ripped off the black cloth covering the man's head.
The man had been in the dark for so long, and he was a little uncomfortable when he first saw the candlelight.
He leaned back slightly, his eyes narrowing slightly, and it took a long time for him to get used to the bright yellow candlelight in front of him.
A little servant had already moved a chair and placed it behind Lu Ziyou.
Lu Yunxi stood behind the chair, her hands clasped together slightly, her eyes moved lightly, and she looked at the man in black.
He was wearing a night suit, with slender eyes, and an extremely strange nose, in addition to being big, he also had a bit of garlic.
"Who are you?"
Lu Ziyou said in a deep voice.
When the man in black heard this, he turned his head slightly, glanced at Lu Ziyou, blinked his eyes for a few moments, and moved his nose lightly, "If you have the ability, kill me." ”
The corners of Lu Ziyou's eyebrows twitched, and he looked at the man in black with a slightly surprised look.
He smiled indifferently, snorted twice, and said in a deep voice, "I won't kill you so easily." Do you know what the crime of trespassing into the mansion of the fifth rank official of the dynasty is?"
The eyes of the man in black moved slightly, don't turn his head, stared at Lu Ziyou's eyes, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he snorted coldly, "Since I dare to come in, I have already thought about the consequences." ”
When Lu Ziyou heard this, he was about to speak, but Lu Yunxi behind him bowed slightly.
She put one hand to her lips, lowered her voice, and said something.
The corners of Lu Ziyou's eyebrows twitched, don't look over, glanced at Lu Yunxi, and nodded slightly.
Lu Yunxi pulled the corners of his clothes, tidied up his clothes, and slowly walked in front of the man in black, staring at the man in black condescendingly, with an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth.
Looking at Lu Yunxi's smile, the man in black's heart sank, and he couldn't help but shiver.
He has walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has seen many people with firm eyes, but he rarely sees Lu Yunxi's transparent eyes.
She stood in front of her with her hands folded, her eyes staring at her pupils, as if an iceberg was colliding in front of him little by little.
The coldness brought by that feeling was chills all over the body, and it seemed as if the whole body was splashed with ice water.
"Today, the fire of Shilang's Mansion is full of capital, and they must have seen it. ”
Lu Yunxi said in a deep voice while staring at the man in black.
When the man in black heard this, his face tightened slightly, and he turned his head sideways, avoiding Lu Yunxi's gaze.
"As you said, you're not worried about the reputation of trespassing into the Shilang Mansion. I don't know, will you agree to set fire to the house?"
Lu Yunxi took two steps forward, stopped at the side of the man in black, turned his head sideways, and stared at the side face of the man in black.
The corners of the black-clothed man's eyes twitched slightly, and he suddenly looked at Lu Yunxi, and said in a deep voice, "I didn't do it!"
Lu Yunxi clasped his hands in front of his chest, still with an indifferent smile, "Who believes it?"
The corners of the black-clothed man's eyebrows furrowed, "I have never set fire to the Shilang Mansion. Even when I go to the government, I will say so. ”
Lu Yunxi shrugged his shoulders indifferently, lowered his head slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, smiled indifferently, and said softly, "You may not have figured out the current situation yet." No matter what you say in front of the government, today you broke into the Shilang Mansion, and the Shilang Mansion was set on fire again, these two things have been entangled, no matter what you say, it is useless. ”
After speaking, without waiting for the man in black to answer, Lu Yunxi turned his head, glanced at Liu Yan, and said softly, "Liu Yan, what is the crime of breaking into the Lang Mansion according to the law?"
Liu Yan was suddenly asked, and he was a little surprised.
He took a step forward, put his hands on his forehead, and saluted Lu Yunxi, "Trespassing into the mansion of a five-grade official will be punished with a cane for thirty years, imprisoned for one and a half years, and embroidered with the word 'thief'." ”
Lu Yunxi made a look of sudden realization, nodded slowly, "oh", his lips moved slightly, and continued, "What if it is arson?"
"Die. ”
Liu Yan stared at the eyes of the man in black, said in a cold voice.
Hearing this, the black-clothed man's back stiffened, his throat jumped up and down, and he glanced at Liu Yan, then immediately looked at Lu Yunxi, and said loudly, "I said, I didn't set fire!"
Who knows, Lu Yunxi didn't pay attention to him at all, just turned his head sideways, looked at Liu Yan, and said in a deep voice, "Send it to the official." ”
