Chapter 232: Dying Words
A man stood out from the crowd and claimed to be the one who met with those people.
He said in a panic: "Back to the adult's words, it's the villain, but the villain doesn't know anything, they will hand over the money to the villain every other day, and then the villain will distribute it to the big guy, we don't know that they have done such evil things, if they know, we don't dare to agree to this matter, dissatisfied with the adult, we are all from Yuezhou Wei County." β
Yuezhou Wei County, to say the least, is more than half a month away, it seems that that group of people have long planned to kill people, but the only thing that surprised them, I am afraid that they did not expect to use it so quickly.
Allwinner asked, "Who found your group in the first place?" β
The man recalled the man's appearance and described it.
Quanzhi recalled that the people in the man's mouth were the people Jin Wei set up in an ambush in the small courtyard to kill, but these people were obviously just small soldiers, and it would take some effort to really catch the people behind the scenes.
"Looks like we'll have to go back and interrogate the man." Except for one person who was captured alive, the other nineteen people, including the three old men, have all died, and now all the clues are on that one person.
As Quanzhi was about to go to the cell, the attendant asked, "My lord, what are you going to do with these people?" β
"They-" Quan Zhi pondered for a moment, and said: "Temporarily imprisoned first, I will report everything here to the emperor truthfully, and it is up to the emperor to decide what to do." β
The retinue said that he had all those people imprisoned in the county jail.
When he came to the cell where the felons were held, he saw that Jin Wei was already standing in front of the door. Quan Zhi stepped forward to salute and say hello, Jin Wei bowed back, and then said, "This person doesn't open his mouth if he lives or dies." Now he can't die by gagging his mouth with a cloth, but if he lets him go, he will immediately bite his tongue and kill himself. β
Allwinner looked worried: "What can I do then?" This man is an important witness, and he is the only one alive of all the people, and if even he is dead, then we will not have any clues? β
Jin Wei snorted coldly, "Something with a hard mouth." I haven't tasted the power of my Jin Wei, and there is no one in the world who is better at interrogation than Jin Wei. Please also ask the whole lord to hand him over to me to deal with, and I will definitely let him tell the truth. β
Quanzhi hesitated for a moment, although he initially had the idea of investigating the case independently with Jin Wei, but now it is obviously no longer possible. Many of the clues were provided by Jin Wei. Not to mention, he really didn't have the confidence to interrogate anything.
Thinking like this, he arched his hand and said: "Since Jin Wei asked, how can I disagree, but if there is anything that needs to be cooperated, just ask." β
"There's one thing I need to help with right now." Jin Wei smiled faintly, "I need all the adults to help me prepare these thingsβ"
Every time he said something, he could see the inmate's eyelids move slightly and go to the back. The more they trembled, the more they trembled, not to mention the prisoners in prison. Even Quanzhi himself wiped sweat on his forehead when he listened.
"I don't know if these things you said are in Wu County, but don't worry, I will definitely find them all for you." Allwinner assured.
Jin Wei smiled slightly, "Thank you so much." β
He ordered someone to open the cell, and after entering, he looked the prisoner up and down, and suddenly said, "You are not from Northern Qin." β
Although the other party did not answer, he knew from the flickering eyes that he had guessed correctly.
Jin Wei continued to observe, and suddenly smiled firmly, "You are from Ningguo." β
The prisoner trembled and looked at Jin Wei in disbelief, and he had betrayed himself with such eyes.
"Want to know how I know?" Jin Wei looked at Quanzhi's curious eyes and said.
Quan Zhi nodded busily: "I want to hear about it." β
"There is a big difference in appearance between the Northern Qin people and the Ningguo people, the Beiqin face is soft, the eyebrow bones are not high, and the eye sockets are not deep, you look at him again, the forehead bone is prominent, the eye bone is deep, and he is obviously from Ningguo."
The captured prisoner was snorting with his crimson eyes open, and it was obvious that he was bent on asking for death.
Since he is a native of Ningguo, Quanzhi has to think deeply, now among the Northern Qin, although there are many people from other countries, and there are many people from Ningguo, but they are all businessmen and ordinary people, this kind of person is not the one who has the courage to steal the minerals of Northern Qin, and the only one who has the courage and ability, he can only think of one person in his mind.
"It seems that all adults already know." Jin Wei smiled slightly.
Quanzhi said in disbelief: "If this is known to the emperor, I am afraid that the marriage between the two countries will be broken." β
Jin Wei raised his chin at the prisoner and said, "Seeing that he seems to have something to say, it is better to listen to what he has to say." β
Before Quanzhi could say anything, he quickly took off the cloth from the prisoner's mouth, and said: "It doesn't matter if you die or not, I already know who your master is, so you died here, and I have nothing to lose, and I won't carry your ** back to your master." β
The prisoner was about to bite his tongue and stunned, glaring at Jin Wei angrily.
Quanzhi looked at the prisoner's mouth intently, for fear that if he bit down, it would really become a dead witness.
Jin Wei paced leisurely and asked, "I know that your master is Princess Haining." I also know that you have your own nest in Northern Qin, don't think that the emperor doesn't know about these things, in fact, the emperor knows everything. It's just a matter of letting you go for now.
I'm just a little curious, Princess Haining can't move the Northern Qin soldiers, this matter, if it weren't for the help of my Northern Qin people, she wouldn't be able to do it at all, you just need to tell me, who that person is. β
The prisoner seemed to be resolute, and closed his eyes and completely ignored his words.
"If you don't say it, I'll try the torture tools I mentioned just now, and I'll try them for you one by one, and you will definitely be able to survive and not die."
The prisoner's eyelids moved slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and did not speak.
Jin Wei sighed regretfully and said to Quan Zhi: "Lord Quan, someone toasts and doesn't eat and drink-it seems that we don't need to be polite to him anymore." β
Allwinner hurriedly asked people to lift a half-man-high spike chair.
When the prisoner opened his eyes, his pupils shrank obviously, but he quickly closed his eyes.
Jin Wei shook his head: "Why are you so bothered, I know who your master is, and the rest of the accomplices are from my Northern Qin, don't forget that you are from Ningguo, why do you have to work hard to protect the people of Northern Qin." β
Sure enough, when the prisoner heard this, he opened his eyes, and there was emotion in his eyes.
"If you say it, you will die, and if you don't say it, it will be death, why should I make you happy."
"Wrong, you didn't make us unhappy, you made yourself unhappy, you said, let you die happily, don't say it, I have a way to make your life more painful than death."
The prisoner said suspiciously: "If I say it, you will let me die happily?" β
Jin Wei shrugged his shoulders, "You told the truth, what am I still embarrassed about you to do." β
The prisoner was silent for a long time, so long that Quanzhi thought that he would not open his mouth but would bite his tongue and kill himself, before finally hearing the man whisper: "Although the princess is involved in this matter, she is also being used by others, and the real person behind the scenes is Ling Shandao, the envoy of the guard." β
Quan Zhi was stunned, and his excited voice changed: "Ling Shandao? How could it be him. β
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the prisoner's mouth was bleeding, and his eyes were rolled straight and he fell down, but he really bit his tongue and committed suicide.
Jin Wei frowned, kicked the dead man with his foot, and said angrily: "It's careless." β
Quan Zhi was stunned and said, "What he just said - are you credible?" β
Although this sentence cannot be applied to a person like him, I will only tell the emperor what I heard, what I saw, and what I asked, and the emperor had to judge the merits of the matter.
Quanzhi ordered the body to be carried down and buried, while walking outside.
In this trial, it seems that there is something to be gained, and nothing seems to have been obtained. Even if what the man said just now is true, if you want to witness it by then, he is already dead, which will only make people say something that has no basis.
Jin Wei walked next to Quanzhi and said slowly; "Are you still thinking about what the criminal said?"
"I just don't believe it. From what I know of the Tibetan envoy, he wouldn't have done such a thing. Allwinner frowned.
Jin Wei retorted disdainfully: "Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts, how do you know that the Tibetan envoy you know is his nature?" What's more, the person just now was from Ningguo, he should not have any grudges with the Tibetan envoy, why should he be wronged when he was dying. β
This is what you have to pull on your back when you are dying. Quan Zhi added in his heart, he always felt a little disbelieving, but what could he do, Jin Wei wanted to report these words to Emperor Qinglong, and when the time came, I was afraid that Ling Shandao would not be able to speak clearly.
