"What are you going to do?!! Is there any royal law left?! The law of the Great Cause Kingdom clearly states that punishment cannot be used during interrogation!? ”

When his subordinate put the tiger hood on the prisoner's head, he finally had a normal reaction, which had always been calm.

"You have the audacity! You guys...... You don't want to live anymore, do you?! ”

Feeling the tiger hood on his head getting tighter and tighter, the prisoner's expression became nervous.

"Didn't you just say you wanted me to bury you? Anyway, I'm just an ordinary, powerless little person, and I'll accompany you if I want to accompany the funeral. ”

Leaning his back on the back of the chair, Guo Ming looked indifferent.

"Punish him."

Guo Ming's tone suddenly became stern.

"Wait a minute—"

Prisoners compromise.

"My name is Liang Fei."

Seeing the prisoner speak, Guo Ming made a gesture and asked his subordinates to pause their movements first.

"I'm from Rongzhou."

With a tiger hood on his head, Liang Fei did not hesitate.

"What did you do on the third day of the third month of March?"

Guo Ming did not delve into whether the prisoner was really called "Liang Fei" and whether his family really lived in Rongzhou City, but took advantage of the prisoner's ability to speak, and then asked other questions.

"The third day of March? It's an ordinary day. I got up to eat, wandered around the street, and went home and went to bed after dark. ”

Liang Fei replied innocently.

"When did you get here?"

Guo Ming then asked.

"Well, it's the third day of March."

Seeing that there was no difficulty in Guo Ming's tone. The tight strings in Liang Fei's heart relaxed slightly.

"Because of what?"

Like friends getting together after dinner to talk about family life, Guo Ming completely lost the severity of the torture just now.

"On March 3rd, didn't Lord Zou distribute pastries to the whole city, I also went to the shop at Dongjiekou because I had nothing to do, and there were many people in front of the stall that distributed pastries, and I stood outside, and I couldn't even see the appearance of the pastries. When I heard that the pastry was different from the rest of the world, and that it looked very special, I bypassed the crowd and wanted to go to the back door to find out. ”

Speaking of this, Liang Fei stopped.

"And then?"

Guo Ming's voice was lazy.

"There were a lot of people at the front door of the shop. But there was no one at the back door. I went in very smoothly. But just as I was standing in front of the box containing the pastries, a man suddenly came in from outside, hugged me directly, and shouted to catch the thief while hugging me back. I kept explaining it to them. But those people just don't listen. I also reported to the official. So I was locked in. ”

Liang Fei's eyes were full of sincerity, as if the truth was like what he said.

"You're hanging around with a bag of poisonous scorpions?"

Guo Ming asked coldly.

"I was going to sell the poisonous scorpion to the pharmacy, so I carried it. Actually, the main reason I went out that day was to sell that bag of poisonous scorpions. ”

Liang Fei replied handily. Although I don't know what Guo Ming wants to ask. But on these issues, it is not difficult for him to lie casually.

"Is this dagger yours?"

The subordinate placed the dagger in the tray in front of Liang Fei, and Guo Ming continued to ask.

"It's not mine, I'm just hanging out, why do I have to bring such a thing."

Liang Fei said resolutely.

"Did you stab someone?"

Guo Ming asked again.

He just went through every question like a routine, without going into the details.

"People?"

Liang Fei looked shocked.

"Of course not, because those people reported to the official, and the arrest came a lot, and those people waiting in line for pastries suddenly messed up, and the crowd was noisy, and I didn't know who stabbed it."

"The dagger is not yours, and the man is not your stab. The reason why you were arrested on March 3 was entirely because of a misunderstanding. Is that what you just said? ”

Guo Ming casually summarized Liang Fei's words just now.

"Yes, yes, my lord is wise, that's what you say."

Hearing Guo Ming say this, Liang Fei's eyes began to shine. When he was in prison, he heard that this Guo Ming was an extremely difficult person to deal with, and now it seems that this is just the case.

"Where is your home in Rongzhou?"

Guo Ming went back to the original point.

"I live in the North Side."

Because it was just innocuous questions, Liang Fei answered very quickly.

"Is there anyone else in the house?"

"No more. I'm alone in the whole house right now. ”

Liang Fei replied honestly.

Turning his head to look at the recorder who was sitting next to him and writing hard, Guo Ming paused.

After asking these routine questions, he can actually finish his work for the day. Now it's just the interrogation stage of the Imperial Tower, and there is no point in digging deeper, anyway, even if the prisoner admits it now, he can still regret it when he goes to court. Moreover, this case has both human and material evidence, and although it is said that the prisoner's self-admission is of great significance to the verdict, under the circumstance that the other evidence is so sufficient, the prisoner's non-admission of guilt is only a quibble, and the case can still be transferred to the yamen, and he does not have to worry about it at all.

The recorder on the side had already memorized everything, and was holding a pen waiting for Guo Ming's next question.

"That's all for today."

Seeing that the record had been completed, Guo Ming looked at Liang Fei who was handicap on the pillar and said.

"That's what you just said, we've written it all down, you see, if it's all right, sign it."

"Okay, okay."

Liang Fei looked incredulous.

He didn't expect to survive the interrogation of the Yushitai so smoothly, except for the tiger trap he wore on his head to scare him at the beginning, and then he didn't use torture at all. And whatever he says, Guo Ming doesn't question it, just asks one question after another. Knowing that this would be the case, he didn't have to be hard at the beginning, and just talked nonsense like later. If that's the case, maybe he won't even have to wear a tiger holster.

Yu Shitai's attitude today simply surprised him. As soon as he heard some of his words, he was obviously lying, it was impossible for this Guo Ming not to know, but he didn't question it, right?

Liang Fei signed the transcript just now, and the corners of his mouth went up.

Could it be that the above already knew about himself, and then explained to the Yushitai? Otherwise, how could Guo Ming, who is nicknamed the "Iron Demon Hand", show mercy to his subordinates during interrogation?

If it is really an explanation from above, then he doesn't have to worry about the future, and he will probably be released from prison soon. Yushitai did not transfer him to the Yamen. No matter how powerful Zou Yu is, he can't take him.

"Heng'er. I heard that Miss Ye woke up? ”

In the corridor outside the house, Wu looked at Zou Youheng, who was standing opposite, and asked.

"Well, but it seems to be unconscious again."

Zou Youheng leaned his back against the pillar and said.

"She's really dead. We really found a master. Otherwise. We have to owe this favor to the Zou family. ”

Wu said, glancing inside the room.

"Still, she's doing it for you. But after all, she is a girl, who lives in our house all day long, which is neither good nor good for her reputation. ”

"But mother, Ye Xiaoyu has just woken up, if she leaves now, I'm afraid her body will not be able to stand it."

Zou Youheng's face was full of worry.

"We are not far from her house on West Street, just this distance, the road is easy to walk, hire a carriage to go over, just a blink of an eye."

Wu insisted.

"But ...... mother"

Ye Xiaoyu had just taken the medicine, and she hadn't started to recover yet, so sending her home in this situation, Zou Youheng didn't think it was a wise move at all.

"Heng'er, I know you have a good heart, but sometimes you can't do things completely by what you think in your heart, you have to look around. You see that now in our family, there is not only Miss Ye, but also the son of the Wang family. You also know the previous relationship between your second mother and this prince of the Wang family, and now this person appears in the mansion all day long, although he is here to find Miss Ye, but many things are not something we can control......"

Wu has no doubts.

The voices of the two outside the house were very soft, but they were still heard clearly by Ye Xiaoyu.

She had been awake for a while, and the sleep after taking the pills, although it was heavy, did not have any more nightmares. The continuous deep sleep, coupled with the porridge he drank before going to bed, made Ye Xiaoyu feel that her body had recovered a lot.

Although it had been five days since she first woke up, Ye Xiaoyu had no idea where she was at all because she kept waking up and falling asleep. Perhaps because of the medicine, she had a very limited time to wake up, and every time she remembered what had happened before, she immediately fell into a coma.

But when she woke up this time, Ye Xiaoyu felt that her mental state was much better than before, and her brain began to become clear. But she didn't think long before all her attention was drawn to the conversation outside the house.

It turned out that she had been living in Zou Mansion since she was injured.

I don't know what kind of means Zou Youheng took to get the Wu family and Zou Yu to agree to let Ye Xiaoyu live here, and let people post notices outside the city to find a miracle doctor. Seeing that he had done so much, Ye Xiaoyu decided not to ask him to return the five taels of silver.

"Mother, Ye Xiaoyu became like this because she blocked that knife for me at that time, what if...... If we send her away like this, will we fall into the hands of others? ”

The chat outside the house continued.

Belch......

Lying on the bed, Ye Xiaoyu heard what Zou Youheng said clearly.

When did she block that knife for him?

Ye Xiaoyu didn't notice where Zou Youheng was standing at that time, let alone block the knife for him. She had completely remembered that the reason why she was injured was entirely her own reason, in order to prevent that person from scattering poisonous scorpions in the shop, not to save anyone.

However, she finally understood that she was able to live in the Zou Mansion after being injured and unconscious, and she also enjoyed the treatment of the government posting notices to the whole city to find someone to treat her - she lived in the Zou family as Zou Youheng's life-saving benefactor. And this so-called life-saving benefactor was caused by Zou Youheng lying to his parents in order to get better healing. (To be continued......)
