Chapter 405: The Kou Family

Chu Xiaoxiao glanced at Wei Rin, motioned for him not to speak yet, and then turned her eyes to look at the people in the cell.

Yongyi Hou Kou Feng has a total of two sons and three daughters, of which the eldest son was detained in the capital by Yun Lingtian, and now in the cell, in addition to the few wives and concubines who deducted points, there are only Mrs. Kou and a few Kou Feng's children.

Kou Feng's eldest daughter Kou Zishu is the same age as Chu Xiaoxiao, she is eighteen years old this year, and before the accident in Yongyi Houfu, Kou Zishu had a marriage, and she was about to get married.

It's a pity that Kou Feng's rebellion this time was too sudden, and everyone was caught off guard, and Kou Zishu, as Kou Feng's daughter, naturally had to be convicted and imprisoned. Even if they weren't brought to Cangzhou this time, Kou Feng rebelled in Cangzhou, and Yongyi Houfu was going to be killed by the gang.

In fact, Chu Xiaoxiao is somewhat curious now, is that Yongyi Hou Kou Feng really ruthless to such a point? Even ignoring his mother, wife and children, he directly started an incident in Cangzhou?

But fortunately, the matter did not come to the point where everyone knew about it, otherwise, with Yun Lingtian's temper, even if it was for his own face, now the lives of the Yongyi Houfu family would be in danger.

Thinking like this, Chu Xiaoxiao walked to the side and dragged a chair over at random, the sound of the chair rubbing against the ground was particularly creepy in the silent cell, making everyone couldn't help but look at Chu Xiaoxiao with wide eyes.

"Don't be nervous, old lady. Chu Xiaoxiao sat in the chair casually, brushed the messy hair in front of her forehead, and asked lazily, "You should know what happened, right?"

The old lady of Yongyi Houfu is now over seventy years old, and she looks healthy on weekdays, and when she was in the capital before, Chu Xiaoxiao also had a little impression or two.

But now...... Not to mention the old lady, even some of the young women present looked a little sick and haggard.

"You...... Are you the girl of the Chu family?" Old Madam Kou first looked at Chu Xiaoxiao for a long time, and then suddenly said as if she had reacted to something.

Chu Xiaoxiao didn't care much about this, but nodded with a good temper, and said with a smile: "The old lady has good eyesight, I am Chu Xiaoxiao, my father Chu Ci." ”

After finishing speaking, Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes turned around the prison casually, only stayed on Kou Zishu for a moment before returning to Old Madam Kou, and said with a faint smile: "Old Madam, I'm afraid you don't know, wait bravely...... Oh no, Kou Feng has now been stripped of his title by His Majesty's decree, and the Kou family has been defeated. Ling Lang is now in Cangzhou Cheng rebelled and led the troops into Cangzhou City, Cangzhou Taishou and his officials have been killed, and now the imperial court is sending troops to besiege it. ”

Chu Xiaoxiao's words were extremely relaxed, but if you look closely, you will find that Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes were firmly fixed on the old lady Kou in front of her from beginning to end.

Old Madam Kou's face turned pale, her lips moved, and she didn't say anything for a long time.

"Hey, look at my brain!" Chu Xiaoxiao raised her hand and patted the top of her head, and said with some annoyance on her face: "I am the main general who led the troops to attack the city this time, and we should be regarded as enemies." ”

"You...... What the hell do you want to say?" Speaking of this, Old Madam Kou was still a little nervous.

Chu Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and looked at her nails, and said in a leisurely and slow voice: "Old lady, I'm afraid you don't know that these two armies are fighting...... There have always been many dead and wounded. Although it is rumored outside that I Chu Xiaoxiao is ruthless, but as a general, after all, I still cherish my soldiers more...... I can only be detained in front of the battle, but I don't know if Ling Lang still cares about you......"

As soon as the words fell, Old Madam Kou's face changed on the spot, almost white and turned into an iron blue color, her fingers tremblingly pointed at Chu Xiaoxiao, and she couldn't say a word.

The other people present were not stupid, so they could naturally hear the meaning of Chu Xiaoxiao's words, and in the originally silent cell, there was a cry on the spot.

At this time, Kou Zishu suddenly stepped forward and blocked Old Madam Kou behind her, and a pair of beautiful eyes that showed fatigue glared at Chu Xiaoxiao and said: "Chu Xiaoxiao, I have never offended you in the Yongyi Houfu before, why do you have to fall into the well like this? Even if there was a lot of discord between you and Lin Zhen'er before, I haven't done anything to you......"

"Stop, stop!" Chu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but have a headache when she heard Kou Zishu come forward and talk about the old accounts.

After interrupting Kou Zishu's words, Chu Xiaoxiao pulled the corners of her lips casually and laughed, "It's just some old things, what is Miss Kou talking about? You and I are not familiar with each other, how can I not take those things out on your head." ”

"And what are you going to do?"

Chu Xiaoxiao laughed casually, reached out and gently stroked a trace of wrinkles on her sleeve, and said with a smile: "I came, naturally I want to ask the truth of the matter." ”

After hearing Chu Xiaoxiao's words, Kou Zishu's eyes immediately showed a hint of dodge.

In fact, Kou Zishu has always been a very outstanding daughter in the capital, although she is a lord, her reputation is far lower than that of Lin Zhen'er. Even Chu Xiaoxiao, in addition to some memories in her mind, she had never heard of Kou Zishu since she crossed over.

Chu Xiaoxiao stared at Kou Zishu tightly, and didn't speak for a long time, until Kou Zishu was uncomfortable by Chu Xiaoxiao, but saw Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly laugh.

Seeing Chu Xiaoxiao's expression, Kou Zishu was inevitably a little annoyed, so she said without thinking, "What are you laughing at?"

Chu Xiaoxiao slightly hooked the corners of her lips, deliberately lowered her voice and said to Kou Zishu: "Miss Kou, have you ever heard of playing the pipa?"

Hearing this, Kou Zishu looked at Chu Xiaoxiao in confusion, and couldn't help but say, "What are you playing the pipa?"

At this time, Chu Xiaoxiao did not look at Kou Zishu, but stared at her slender white fingertips carefully, and still said slowly: "There is a record in the upper echelons of the prison chronicles, the punishment of extorting confessions, the coolest one is called the pipa, cutting open the chest and abdomen, using the ribs as the string, and the knife as the pluck. When the torture is performed, all the bones are gone, and the sweat rains down like ......"

"Ah......h

Before Chu Xiaoxiao could finish speaking, Kou Zishu screamed shortly even though her eyes widened, took two steps back and sat directly on the ground, looking at Chu Xiaoxiao with a pale face, trembling all over her body and unable to say a word.

When Chu Xiaoxiao spoke, she deliberately lowered her voice, so the other members of the Kou family who were in the same cell didn't hear anything.
