Chapter 164: Interrogating the Assassins
In the dark and damp prison, just standing at the door, you can hear bursts of heart-rending roars, which make people frightened after listening to them.
There was a fishy smell and bloody smell coming from the door, and the unpleasant smell made Zhao Yonglin frown, but he didn't stop and went directly into the cell.
In the cell, there are several crosses, two of which are tied to two people, the clothes on the two of them have lost their original appearance, they are broken, and the exposed skin is not intact, the skin is open, the blood continues to flow out of the wound, the bottom of the cross is already red, the blood is not coagulated, but scattered around, slowly, like a frightened tentacle, frightened and terrifying.
On the side are all kinds of torture instruments, and in the inside, there are several flat beds, and ropes are placed at both ends of the flat bed to fix the hands and feet, and as the rope continues to stretch, the whole person is also stretched in different directions, and finally, the body is split from the middle, and the body may be like this.
The whip kept falling on the black-clothed man who was caught, and the cries of pain resounded throughout the cell, and the innocent prisoners who stayed in the cell on the side also honestly hid in the corner, their bodies trembling, and looking at everything in front of them in horror.
The guards who beat the prisoners kept asking, "Say, what will I send you?" Say! To say or not to say? Don't say it, hum! He stopped the whip in his hand and took out a red-hot soldering iron from the nearby stove.
The fiery red and sparkling soldering iron "scorched" on the wounded flesh of the man in black, "Do you want to say it?" Increasing the force in his hand, the guard asked with a hideous face.
The man in black snorted in pain, the tears on his forehead mixed with blood remained, his hair was already soaked with sweat, and the loose hair covered half of his face, but he still didn't say a word, and tilted his head to the other side.
The guard didn't say anything when he saw him, he held the soldering iron and wanted to burn it, and the father-in-law who followed Zhao Yonglin saw this and hurriedly stepped forward, "Why don't you see Your Majesty?" ”
When everyone in the cell heard this, they hurriedly put down the things in their hands and knelt on the ground, "See Your Majesty." ”
The father-in-law looked left and right, beckoned the father-in-law with a chair behind him to put it in an open space, and at the end, he stepped forward and wiped it with his sleeve, "Your Majesty, you sit." ”
Glancing at the man in black who was almost unconscious, he turned to sit on the chair, "How's the interrogation?" ”
"Your Majesty, you have tried many methods, but these people just don't speak, Your Majesty will spare your life." Lying on the ground, his body trembling slightly.
I have never seen His Majesty, the first time I saw natural nervousness, although he was in the palace, but his status was the lowest, as a person guarding the prison, everyone looked disgusted when he saw it, for fear of getting bad luck.
"Tried everything?"
"Your Majesty, yes."
Looking at the black-clothed people who were being tortured, I found that some of them were already unconscious, and some of them had already shown fear in their eyes.
Who hasn't been trained to the limit by killing killers like these? Pain is even more common for them, and only when they really face fear will there be a trace of fear, and just for this trace of fear, they can get words out of their mouths and find out the truth.
He pointed to the man in black who was closest to the wall, "Wake him up and splash him with salt water." ”
Hula a large bucket of salt water was splashed up, and there was a long roar, and fear flashed in his eyes that had become red from pain, and his two eyes stared at Zhao Yonglin, who was sitting in front of him.
Zhao Yonglin didn't hide, looking at the man in black with sharp eyes, "Say, as long as you tell the truth, I will spare you a life." ”
The man in black opened his mouth, his expression was painful, as if he was struggling, Zhao Yonglin saw that he was showing signs of wavering, and glanced at the father-in-law beside him.
The guild understood, and immediately smiled and stepped forward, "The ants are still stealing life, it is better to die than to live, for the sake of your master, it is not worth wasting your life in vain, as long as you say the mastermind behind the scenes, Your Majesty will let you live, you have to think about it, there is only one chance." The voice was incomparably intriguing, and the sinister smile was mixed with temptation.
"You can't betray your master." A man in black next to him saw that he was showing signs of wavering, and looked at the man in black fiercely, biting his lip with his teeth, looking angry.
"Huh?" Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the man in black who spoke, and his voice was displeased.
The father-in-law, who has been with Zhao Yonglin all the year round, naturally knows what Zhao Yonglin means at this time, "Why don't you kill this mouthy minion?" He pointed to the man in black who spoke.
When the guard got Minglin, he glanced at Zhao Yonglin, and saw that his eyes were looking directly in front of him, and he was intimidating, and he understood the meaning of this, stepped forward, picked up the sharp knife that was placed aside, and slashed at the neck of the man in black.
Between the knife in his hand, the man's neck had been severed, leaving more than half of the flesh and skin connected, his whole head had been drooped to his chest, his eyes were still open in horror, and the direction was right towards the man in black.
The man in black watched his companion die tragically, and his dead eyes made him tremble from the bottom of his heart, and the whole person trembled even more.
As if grasping a life-saving straw, he looked at Zhao Yonglin tremblingly, "I said." The tone was a little urgent, which led to the speech not being very sharp.
"Then say it quickly, if you keep grinding, I'm afraid your fate will be the same as his." The father-in-law walked back to the chair and stood, looking impatient.
I'm afraid that there will be no chance to wait, so the man in black nodded his head very strongly, "Your Majesty spares your life, we are also acting as slaves, as for who to kill, I don't know, if you know the Dao, your Majesty, you won't do it if you give us more money." ”
"Whose orders are you? Say! Zhao Yonglin, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally spoke, with invisible persecution in his words, revealing a majesty from the inside out, which made the man in black tremble more and more.
"We were ordered by the third prince, and his subordinates gave us a road map, and marked the time, let us wait there, and said that if we saw the people coming out of the sedan chair, we would kill them without mercy and leave no one alive."
"Bastard thing, what nonsense? Can you frame the three princes casually? The father-in-law stepped forward, took the leather whip next to him, and whipped the man in black twice.
Eating pain, the whole face became distorted, "Your Majesty, the slave didn't lie, if you don't believe it, you can ask the concubine Niangniang, the third prince has evidence of the concubine Niangniang, and he has threatened the third prince before, so the third prince has a murderous intention this time, and wants to kill two birds with one stone." Your Majesty, spare your life, at this time, the slave will never dare to lie again. ”
As soon as Zhao Yonglin heard what the man in black said, his face became gloomy, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were even lowered, not knowing what to think again.
The father-in-law looked at Zhao Yonglin's face, took the leather whip and slapped the man in black a few times, "Bastard, it's not enough to wronged the third prince, but also to pull it on Niangniang, Niangniang is injured and is still lying in bed, how can you do such a thing?" I think you're just lying, making things up, trying to clear your name. ”
"Your Majesty's life, your life, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, the slave will have a letter, and Your Majesty will know the Tao when you read it." kept begging for mercy, looking at Zhao Yonglin, who was unresponsive in front of him, his heart became more and more frightened.
"Say, where is that letter now?" Stopping what he was doing, his father-in-law asked.
"The letter is under the osmanthus tree of a farmer's house on the outskirts of the city, and in order to prevent the news from leaking, the letter was specially hidden, and this was overheard by the slaves." The voice trembled, and from time to time he looked at the reactions of his father-in-law and Zhao Yonglin.
These fathers-in-law couldn't make up their minds, glanced at Zhao Yonglin, bowed forward, and asked in his ear in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what do you think you should do now?" ”
Zhao Yonglin didn't react, pondered for a while, glanced at his father-in-law, glanced at the man in black who was expecting to be alive, got up from the chair, his lips squirmed, "No one left!" After speaking, without waiting for his father-in-law's reaction, he took the lead out of the prison.
"Did you hear that? If you dare to divulge what you have heard today, watch your heads. Stretching out the orchid, he pointed at the guards present, and hurriedly chased after him.
Behind him was the scream of the man in black begging for mercy, "Your Majesty, spare your life, you said that Fang Slave has a way to live, Your Majesty" The voice suddenly stopped, and if you listen carefully, you can still hear the sound of things rolling down.
The father-in-law shook his body, only to feel that his scalp was numb, goosebumps were everywhere, and his footsteps accelerated and chased behind Zhao Yonglin.
Squinted at his father-in-law, who was a little panting, with his hands behind his back, he couldn't see any expression on his face, only his eyes narrowed slightly, "Send someone to find the letter." ”
When his father-in-law heard this, he was surprised, when he just saw Zhao Yonglin make a decision, he thought that this matter would be over, but he didn't expect that His Majesty would look like he wanted to investigate thoroughly.
"Your Majesty, are you sure" If this matter is investigated, there is no telling how many people will be implicated.
"When will it be your turn to call the shots? If you are told to take it, you can take it, and if today's news is leaked for half a point, I will ask you. With that, he turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
The father-in-law looked at the back in the distance, and could only sigh helplessly.
After a pause, he walked in the direction of the Guards.
Back in the study, the father-in-law who went to spread the news outside the palace had already come back and saw Zhao Yonglin coming in with a gloomy face, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, waiting for Zhao Yonglin's question.
Sitting on the chair, his whole body leaned back on the chair, paralyzed, and he exhaled a few long breaths, only to find that a person was kneeling below.
"What's the matter?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Princess An is afraid that she will not be able to enter the palace." The father-in-law looked embarrassed, and secretly looked at Zhao Yonglin's expression as he spoke.
