Chapter XXIII: Coerced Confessions 1
It's already the third day, in the House of Internal Affairs of the Mus.
On the first day, Mu Yu took Mei Ziyan to visit all kinds of horrific torture instruments in the torture room of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and when he saw the soldering iron, the chair full of nails and the flail, he was satisfied to see the surprised expression on her face - but it was just surprise, she asked Mu Yu if she knew about the tiger chair and chili water, Mu Yu shook her head, and after she explained, Mu Yu turned white.
"Oh, there is also a very simple way, add water to the quicklime, and then put the person's hands or feet in it, at most five hours, the person's hands and feet will be left with white bones, has the fourth prince tried such a method of extorting confession?"
Mu Yu looked at the sky speechlessly, there was a copper bowl of beans in front of him that was not cooked and chewed, and he also had a face that was pitiful to a normal man.
"The fourth prince is going to use that nail chair to greet me?" she smiled.
"I-"
"By the way, did the fourth prince thank the family by the lake for me that day?" she also took two sets of clothes from other people for the night, so she had to leave some silver.
Mu Yu was even more speechless, when the guard came to reply that day, he said that he had given down five taels of silver to the family, he suspiciously saw the unnatural expression on the guard's face, and couldn't help but be shocked when he asked, the following are the old man's original words:
"Old woman, I knew that those two were not ordinary people. β
"The girl is also a little more powerful...... (omit the 200-word scenario retelling and the 200-word exclamation comment) By the way, young man, if your master holds the two of you for three years, remember to invite the old woman to drink the full moon wine......"
After listening to this, Mu Yu had what color and expression on his face.
The third brother now put on an attitude of hating this woman, but he has a blind date with other people's ears and temples, and in a fit of anger, he threw her to the internal affairs office, and he really wanted to torture her? If the third brother didn't care at all, he wouldn't have to let her go so many times. What's more, it is now suspected that they are an overnight couple........
It's really a headache, so just throw her to those old and lonely old men of the Internal Affairs Office to interrogate.
Jiang Lingcheng, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, is a gray-haired old man in his sixties, strict and square, experienced and has managed the Internal Affairs Office for more than 20 years, and there are several people under him, all of whom are old-timers who interrogate prisoners and deal with the affairs of the Mu clan. It's just that in recent years, the affairs of the Mu clan palace have been handled by the Internal Supervision Department, and the disputes within the Mu clan have been reduced a lot because of Mu Cheng's strict and clear way of handling things. As a result, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was idle.
When Mei Ziyan was brought into the judicial court of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she and the old man stared at each other, turned back to Mu Yu and said:
"Fourth son, what are you doing with me taking me to a nursing home?"
Mu Yu was satisfied to see the raging anger in the eyes of those old-timers, and snickered in his heart and turned around to cover the door of the judicial court.
In this world, except for abnormal men like his third brother, who are not interested in beautiful women, very old men will not pity Xiang Xiang and cherish jade, and no matter how the old men of the Law Court torture Mei Ziyan, they can't be angry with him Mu Yu.
When he told Mu Cheng that Mei Ziyan's poisonous tongue had offended the Venerable Judges of the Law Court, Mu Cheng did not see joy or anger on his face, and only said:
"I'm waiting for someone sent to the East Court to send a message back, hoping that what I suspect won't be true. β
So, the third day came.
Mu Cheng listened to the people who came back from the East Courtyard carefully reporting the news, and opened a scroll in his hand, on which a beautiful woman stood leaning on the pavilion, and behind him was the sunset like molten gold. He put down the scroll and went out to get into the carriage and headed in the direction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Mu Yu was waiting in front of the Internal Affairs Mansion, and when he saw Mu Yu Mu Cheng after getting out of the car, he asked:
"How? Did she tell me where she came from?"
"Third brother, although the old men of the Court of Justice are old, they have never missed this kind of thing. Last time, the second brother's mansion caught fire and was stolen, and the concubines were frightened by a basin made by the old man, and they were intimidated one by one that this was a lie detector basin, and the liar would be killed by ten thousand snakes. No one could have imagined that all the snakes in it had been fed with fangs, and they would not bite anything thrown into it, and within a quarter of an hour one of the concubines was recruited. Think about it, Mei Ziyan didn't say half a good word, how would those old men treat her?"
Mu Cheng's expression on his face was not shocked, but he frowned as he approached the gate of the Judicial Court. If he heard it rightβ
"Lao Chen, the marinated pork is so fragrant, can you tell me the secret recipe?" The crisp and laughing voice is not Mei Ziyan, who is it?
Then Jiang Lingcheng's angry voice came: "Hey, I said can you concentrate when you play chess?"
"I said Lao Jiang, aren't you angry that someone appreciates my craftsmanship? Now whoever wants to think about it can't make a son! Yan'er, don't care about him, you eat yours, if you like, Lao Chen has time to go to Suide Wangfu to cook for you. β
"Lao Chen, don't quarrel - hey, Lao Jiang, how can you regret it? You have simply lost our old face!" followed by a noisy voice from several old men, and then the deputy chief Wang Dejiang stopped everyone.
Mu Cheng's face was a little pale, this group of old naughty boys was still a little self-disciplined.
"Yan'er, don't play chess, why don't you look at the words I wrote?" Wang Dejiang said with a smile.
Mu Cheng glanced at Mu Yu coldly, and the cold sweat on Mu Yu's forehead came out thinly. Apparently they had forgotten that she had a mouth that coaxed people to death. Mu Cheng pushed open the door of the Law Court with one hand and walked in, Jiang Lingcheng and the others were stunned, and then glanced at each other and saluted Mu Cheng.
Mei Ziyan didn't seem to be surprised at all, sat on the chair and smiled lazily at him, "Persimmon, early." β
Black hair, bright eyes, plain clothes, lazy smile with a hint of softness, the sound is like the tight strings of the pipa being plucked by people who don't know the rhythm of the sound of one or two sounds, crisp and clever, straight to the heart.
In this way, Mu Cheng's heart skipped two beats, and he hated that this woman would one day cause him to die of heart disease.
"Go down, I have something to say to Dr. May. Without waiting for Jiang Lingcheng's explanation, he glanced at the stove that was burning brightly on the side, the ink that was still fresh before he had time to put it away, and the chessboard on the table......
Jiang Lingcheng and the others retreated, and before leaving, they didn't forget to throw a "you have to be careful" look at Mei Ziyan.
