Chapter 1: Desperate Youth
In the dim interrogation room, only the lantern hanging on the wall emitted a burst of ghostly light, barely illuminating the interrogation room of less than ten square meters. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere is silence all around, and only the occasional flickering lantern can show that there is still a breeze.
This is a standard interrogation room, some simple metal interrogation equipment, under the faint light of the horse lamp, reflecting a faint ghostly light, coupled with some indelible dark black marks on the equipment, it looks very terrifying. Directly in front of the room was an iron table with two stools, and a cross for the prisoners.
Everything seems to be very harmonious, standard interrogation room.
Except for a slightly handsome blonde boy who was hung from a cross, the boy had a pale face and closed eyes, apparently in a state of fainting. It can be seen from the young man's clothing that his family background is definitely not ordinary, wearing a light blue silk dress, and the cuffs and neckline are also inlaid with extremely fine gold wire.
Such a handsome aristocratic boy was completely out of step with the interrogation room, and at such a time, he should sit gracefully on a bench in his back garden, leisurely enjoying the black tea from Lewis Manor in the eastern part of the Jialan Empire.
However, the boy was still tied to an iron cross as a blasphemous.
Suddenly, faint footsteps could be heard outside the interrogation room, and as the footsteps gradually increased, some conversations became clear.
"Who is it this time?"
"Hehe, this is a big fish, the only survivor of the Lancelot family, this Lancelot family is the family of the tenth earl personally granted by the emperor Youser the Great, and it is only the second life in this kid's life."
"The Lancelots! It's the family that smuggled the Imperial Arms that has been rumored to be circulating recently! Hey, hey, hey, this family is really bold, and they dare to smuggle imperial arms under the nose of the imperial capital. ”
"From the grapevine, it is not only the smuggling of Imperial arms, but also the latest armor-piercing crossbow developed by the Empire."
"It's definitely a death sentence if you get caught!"
"That's right, I heard from the secret guard of the Ministry of Supervision that this kid's parents were directly killed by the secret guard in the process of escaping, and it was in front of this kid, this kid was scared and fainted in the first place."
Hearing the word Secret Guard, a chill suddenly appeared on the spine of one of the interrogators, although he is also a member of the Supervision Department, but the Secret Guard of the Supervision Department of the Jialan Empire is really a name that no one wants to mention, once you are targeted by the Secret Guard, death is your best choice.
As far as this interrogator knows, no one has escaped the pursuit and hunting of the secret guards.
"Then what else is the interrogation, shouldn't this kid die and be sentenced to death?"
"This kid is lucky, there are still some days before his twelfth birthday, less than twelve years old, this kid has not yet inherited the power of the title, and at the same time, there is no need to bear the obligation of the title."
"Good luck? Once inside the gates of the Ministry of Supervision, he would regret why he hadn't been killed by the Secret Guards. ”
With the click of the metal lock being opened, the door to the interrogation room was opened. A faint light from outside the door shone in, dispelling some of the darkness that had shrouded the room.
Seeing the blonde boy tied up on the cross, the two interrogators were obviously stunned for a moment, after all, the age and temperament of the teenager were too different from here.
However, there are not a few people who have been interrogated by them, enemy spies disguised as noble ladies, assassins disguised as noble ladies, their psychology is already very strong, and they have calmed down in an instant.
No matter what identity he is, once he enters the door of the censorship department, he has no ability to resist beating.
Seeing the fainting teenager, the slightly older censor took a look, and another censor immediately carried a bucket of ice water and splashed it on the teenager's body.
Although it was already early summer, the cold feeling brought by the ice water to the body was still very strong, and the two examiners immediately saw the young man in front of him raise his head slightly and droop his head.
Carré, whose full name is Carré. Lancelot's blonde boy opened his eyes, his mind blank, and he couldn't help but moan from the pain of his limbs being bound, after all, as a noble son, he had never suffered like this before.
When he saw the interrogator in black uniform in front of him, Carré remembered, and immediately fell into great fear and sadness, screaming desperately, and writhing wildly, trying to break this bondage.
Two days ago, in the early morning, Carré was still asleep, and he dreamed that he had married the most beautiful little princess of the Jialan Empire, and became the governor of the northern Xinjiang of the Jialan Empire, facing the enemies of the chaotic land, and establishing meritorious deeds.
But his father, who suddenly called him up in a hurry, took his mother, and fled in a carriage without any servants, and he saw his father, who had always been calm and elegant, looking very mad, and his mother, who was very gentle, also holding him tightly, his eyes were red, and the tears in his eyes were falling down one by one.
Then, in the evening, a group of soldiers, dressed in black uniforms similar to those in front of them, stopped them, did not speak, and within a few turns, his father was lying in a pool of blood.
His mother kissed him one last time and said something that would be said to him several times a day.
"Carré, I love you!"
Then he committed suicide with a sword and fell in a pool of blood like his father.
Blood soaked the ground red, reflecting the red-gold sunset that shrouded the sky in the evening, and looked very bleak.
Seeing this, Carré fainted on the spot, he couldn't bear it all, and his parents, who had been having dinner with him a day earlier, left him like this.
With a "snap", the gorgeous clothes suddenly cracked, and a sharp pain came from his body, and Carré's struggle immediately slowed down.
The slightly younger interrogator mustered up the strength to whip Carré's body, and another blood streak immediately appeared on Carré's body, and the slightest trace of blood leached out.
"Boy, do you think you're still in your back garden, do you know where this is, this is the interrogation room of the Jialan Imperial Supervision Department, do you know the Imperial Supervision Department? Yes. ”
The interrogator with the whip yelled at Carré in a slightly frantic manner, and then plucked up his strength at Carré and jerked it again. As interrogators of the Ministry of Supervision, most of the contacts are on the darkest side of the empire, and the inner tyranny will accumulate over time, and their status is not too high to hire professionals for psychological counseling, and the only way they can vent is to undoubtedly torture prisoners, and drink inferior ale to get drunk after taking a turn of rest.
Seeing a noble son like Carré, thinking of the difference between himself and his treatment, the interrogator's abuse could no longer be suppressed, and he jerked at Carré.
This kind of whip is developed by the Ministry of Supervision itself, using the bursting cow tendon in the western part of the Jialan Empire as raw material, coupled with the special steel wire, ordinary people can crack their skin with all their strength, not to mention specially trained interrogators.
At first, Carré could still scream in pain, but after ten lashes, Carré's voice had turned into a faint whimper.
"It's okay, Peter, after all, the above only called us to interrogate, and we can't explain if we beat someone to death." The slightly older interrogator spoke to the interrogator who was smoking Kare.
Hearing this, the interrogator named Peter whipped Carré again, and the abuse was almost gone, and he spat on the ground.
"Boy, now if I ask you anything, you can say anything, otherwise you won't be as gentle as you were just now."
