A brawl in the Zhou Mansion ended with Yu Shu being captured, Jin Wuwei and the Yu family guards were all hung up, but fortunately they were not strict, but they were injured and spilled blood, which looked a little terrifying.

A good happy event attracted a bloody disaster, the bride ran away, and the groom peed his pants in fright. The guests who came to drink the wine were all frightened, and when the scene stabilized, they took their leave in a panic, for fear that they would fight again later and hurt the innocent.

Zhou Yede insisted that Yu Shu abused his power and committed arson with slaves, and arrested her and the more than ten people she brought and threw her into the prison of the Criminal Department. He personally escorted people over, then turned around and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when he saw Xue Lingnan, he vomited bitterness.

"Xiangye only said that someone would come to rob my relatives today and asked me to arrest people, but why didn't you tell me who the person who took the lead in stirring up trouble, that crazy girl was simply bold, and actually led people to fight with my Jinwu guards, causing me to hurt many of my subordinates, not to mention, I lost all my face."

Xue Lingnan was pruning a pot of beauty orchids, and he didn't know where to start with the flower scissors in his hand, and he didn't look back when he heard the words: "I know everything, you can go back." ”

"Uh," Zhou Yede hesitated, "Jin Xun has been robbed, I have sent people to search all over the capital, if I find her-"

Xue Lingnan cut the flower path short with a "click", and a Guerlain fell at his feet, "Don't bother, didn't you arrest someone, interrogate her well and let her say it herself." ”

Zhou Yede felt that he was boring to himself, and other people's granddaughters didn't care, let alone his daughter-in-law who hadn't come to the door.

"You mean to torture her? It's not good. After all, she is an official of Si Tianjiao, and no matter how big a mistake she makes, it will not be the turn of the Criminal Department to take action. ”

The first emperor abolished the position of the six Shangshu, and set up two ministers, Yin Xiangye controlled the three departments of officials, households, and workers, and the criminal department and the military department were all headed by Xue Xiangma. Si Tianjian is Zhu Muzhao's word.

Xue Lingnan put down the scissors, moved his steps, turned around and said, "The matter of the Criminal Department, it is not Si Tianjian's turn to point fingers. Zhu Muzhao's hand stretched too long. The old man is going to kill the chickens and make an example of the monkey this time, if you are afraid, you don't have to worry about it, go back and train your Jinwu Guard, a group of rabble can also make you disgraced. How can I be responsible for the future? ”

Zhou Yede's old face flushed. But there was no word to refute. In the end, I had to leave in a huff.

***

In the fifth month of the lunar calendar, it is already summer, and the wind blowing during the day is hot. It doesn't cool until the sun goes down. However, the cell is a different world, during the day it is like staying in a steamer, sweating out without money, and at night it becomes cold and frozen.

The prison of the Criminal Department has not been renovated for 20 years, and it is not cleaned diligently on weekdays, and even if the skylight is open to let in the air, there is still a sour and rotten smell. Yu Shu was brought here during the day, locked alone in a cell, separated from her guards and domestic servants.

The cell was surrounded by three stone walls, one of which was a fence, and Yu Shu sat against the wall on the haystack, still wearing a gray-blue robe that accompanied her gloves when she went out in the morning, but her hair was scattered over her shoulders, and the hairpin fell off the way Jin Wuwei twisted her.

As the sun sank, the whole cell slowly fell into darkness, and a cold wind poured in from the skylight overhead, waking her up from her accident, and when she opened her eyes, she saw someone outside the fence carrying a bright lantern, I don't know when she was standing there, she squinted her eyes, looked up and saw the other party's appearance clearly, and unsurprisingly showed a sneer.

"I'll guess who's going to clean me up, it's really your old man."

Xue Lingnan didn't answer, turned his head and asked the jailer to open the cell door, lifted her out, took her to the torture room in the deepest part of the corridor, and tied her hands and feet to the torture rack. Yu Shu didn't resist from beginning to end, she knew in her heart that the Criminal Department was Xue Lingnan's territory, and if she really broke her throat, no one would come to save her, so it was better to save her energy and think about how to survive.

Da Tidian was tripped by the prince and stayed in Huazhen Garden, and no one could save her from Xue Lingnan at the moment.

Xue Lingnan sat on the chair a foot away from the torture rack, the jailer with a scar on the left side of his face lit the torches on the walls on both sides, and added charcoal to the brazier on the tripod.

Yu Shu watched coldly as the scar-faced man picked and chose on the torture rack, and took off a small iron hammer more than half a foot long, the hammer head was flexible and small, and it didn't look lethal, he bent down and grabbed a handful of iron nails from the box on the ground.

The scar-faced man walked up to her, pinched the bone on her arm, smiled at her, and introduced her to the torture instrument in his hand in a low voice: "This is called a bone crusher hammer, which is specially used to deal with those hard-boned prisoners, like you, this small bone, gently knock it twice, rattle, and it will be broken." ”

Yu Shu didn't look at the murder weapon in his hand, turned his head and asked Xue Lingnan: "If I hadn't robbed my relatives today, would you really marry Jin Xun to the Zhou family?" ”

When it comes to this, what else does she not understand, the official marriage documents of the Xue family and the Zhou family are fake, if Xue Lingnan is just to marry the Zhou family, she should have quietly done the marriage on the two days of the ancestor worship ceremony, instead of waiting until she returns to Beijing, and then let people instigate Feng Zhaomiao to go to her to report the news. In this way, he didn't even show his face, so he let her fall into the net.

As for why Xue Lingnan wanted to arrest her, it was nothing more than because he knew that she was a lifebreaker, either to kill her, or to dig out some secrets from her mouth.

"Marriage is a big event, it's not a child's play." Xue Lingnan looked at her expressionlessly, his attitude was very clear, giving up a useless granddaughter to entrap Zhou Yede was something he had planned a long time ago, and he would not change his mind because of whether Yu Shu went to rob his relatives.

"Tiger poison doesn't eat children, you really impress me." Yu Shu sneered, but she didn't regret it in her heart, even if she did it all over again, even if she knew that it was a trap, she would still choose to rob her relatives. Because she didn't want to reunite with Xue Rui one day and see his disappointed look.

Xue Lingnan shook his head: "When you come here, you still want to take advantage of your tongue, the old man said it last time." It's effortless to clean you up, you really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. Ah Yong, teach her to learn to be obedient first. ”

The scar-faced man bit an iron nail in his mouth, pinched a two-inch-long nail in his hand, rubbed it against her sleeve, the head of the nail was aimed at one of her arms, first tapped it twice with a hammer, and then suddenly smashed it hard.

Yu Shu twitched violently, opened her five fingers, and watched as the nail was half submerged into her flesh. Pierced into her bones. Blood flowed out, instantly staining a small puddle of red on her sleeve, her mind went blank for a moment, and the sudden dull pain made her gasp. She gritted her teeth. I didn't scream. The scar-faced man concocted it in the same way. Three nails were hammered into her left arm, and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat and she was trembling from head to toe.

Just as the scar-faced man spat out the fourth nail. Xue Lingnan called a stop. He stared indifferently at her pale face, and said slowly: "Whatever the old man asks, you will answer, and if you answer a wrong question, you will have one more nail on your body." ”

Yu Shu raised his head stiffly, the corners of his mouth hooked up a miserable smile, and his voice trembled: "Then can you sue me one thing first, the two murders in Taishi Shuyuan, the two female students who died, did you send someone to kill them?" ”

Xue Lingnan was silent for a moment and said, "You're talking about Zhan Xueyuan and Cao Youling." ”

Yu Shu closed his eyes: "Sure enough, it's you." In this way, Xue Rui's speculation about the murderer is confirmed, as long as Emperor Zhaoqing dies and the crown prince ascends the throne, the position of Si Tianjian will be replaced, and when the time comes, isn't it Xue Lingnan who single-handedly supported Liu Tan to take the throne?

Xue Rui said that whoever can monopolize power is the traitor who tries to kill the lifebreaker and prevent Da Tidian from opening the "Xuannu Liuren Book".

"The two of them died unjustly," Xue Lingnan had already seen through her, so she no longer covered it up, "The old man was going to kill a lifebreaker." ”

"So, Jingchen encountered someone plotting on the way to Beijing, and you sent someone to do it, it was Mr. Xu, right?" The more Yu Shu thought about it, the more she understood, and the pain made her thinking extremely agile: "You have long known that Xue Rui's biological father is Yunhua, and Xue Soap brought back a child from the south back then, and he must not be able to hide it from you." Later, Xue's father died unexpectedly, and you found out that it was Si Tianjian's poisonous hand, but you couldn't bear it, because you knew that you couldn't fight Si Tianjian alone, let alone fight the emperor. So you endured it for more than ten years, and endured it until Jingchen, a big safety disaster, was born. ”

Although the secrets of the "Xuannu Liuren Book" can only be known by the emperors of the past dynasties and the great mention, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and after two hundred years, there will always be people who explore these secrets, and Xue Lingnan is a successful example. He knew very well that the inseparable relationship between the emperor and the Great Mention Point was based on the "Xuannu Liuren Book", and only when the Great Mention Point lost this omniscient ability, the imperial power could get rid of the puppet of Si Tianjian.

But he also has things he doesn't know, for example, the existence of Da'an Woe Zi and Destiny Breaker is to give birth to the Heavenly Mandate Bone, and without the Heavenly Mandate Bone, the big mention point will not be able to open the "Xuannu Liuren Book".

"But I don't understand, why didn't you just let people kill Jing Chen, but used tricks to make him lose his memory. If you don't kill him, it must not be because of soft-heartedness, that is to say, he still has a place that can be used by you, let me think about it, I thought about it, Jingchen and Xue Rui have one thing in common, they are both Yunhua's biological sons, you keep Jingchen's life, just like you raised Xue Rui, all to lure Yunhua to appear, am I right? ”

"You talk too much nonsense," Xue Lingnan interrupted her self-talk and said coldly: "Let me ask you, whose hands is the Book of Xuannu Liuren now?" ”

Yu Shu's eyes flickered, and in the blink of an eye, she decided to lie: "Of course, the Book of Xuannu Liuren is now in the hands of Da Tidian. Otherwise, why do you think my eldest brother was able to leave the capital alive, it was because Yunhua exchanged his life with the Xuannu Book. ”

Xue Lingnan frowned, not knowing if he believed her words, and asked again: "Have you seen the "Xuannu Liuren Book"? ”

"Of course I've seen it, sue you, I know a lot more than you think." Yu Shu suddenly smiled at him, ignoring her sweaty face, you couldn't tell that she had three two-inch-long iron nails pierced into her bones at the moment.

Xue Lingnan squinted his eyes and stared at her: "The old man didn't mean to underestimate you, you are a helpless little girl, less than two years after entering Beijing, you can win a place in Si Tianjian and get into the mix, not only because of the identity of the lifebreaker, but also because of your scheming city, far beyond your age." ”

"You praise me like that. Shouldn't I feel honored? It's not that Yu Shu has to play tricks, but she hurts so much that if she doesn't say a few words, she's afraid that she won't be able to survive.

"You should feel lucky, if you don't know anything, the old man will simply kill you," Xue Lingnan sneered: "Let me ask you again, what does Zhu Muzhao have to do with the "Xuannu Liuren Book" in his hand if you let you marry Jing Chen?" ”

"I married Jingchen precisely to break his life." Yu Shu told him half-truthfully: "He is a great peace." It is a national sport. However, Ji is riddled with stars, and the world is in trouble, and only I, a lifebreaker, can I change his life by being a husband and wife to him. ”

Xue Lingnan shook his head: "It seems that I won't give you any hardship." You won't tell the truth. Ayong. ”

Yu Shu turned his gaze. I saw the scarface man stick out his tongue and lick the fourth nail on his hand, gesturing back and forth on her arm, and finally stopped at her wrist. A slight press made her stiffen.

"Wait," she couldn't help but shout to stop, baring her teeth and saying to Xue Lingnan: "I can tell you the truth, but you must also answer my questions, otherwise you will kill me, and I will not say a word to you, if you don't believe it, just try, my bones are hard." ”

Xue Lingnan raised his hand and waved his hand, signaling the scar-faced man to step aside, he looked at her and said, "What else do you want to know?" ”

Yu Shu seized the opportunity to ask: "Before Cao Youling died, it was Ji Xingxuan who lured her to the stargazing platform, isn't she King Ning's person, how could she listen to your instructions?" ”

Xue Lingnan said: "Aren't you very smart, guess what?" ”

Yu Shu didn't guess, but threw out questions one after another: "Jingchen's entry into the WTO should be a secret thing, but you know his whereabouts well, and you used my eldest brother's marriage as a trick to send Manager Xu to Yiyang City to discuss with the Ji family, and set up an ambush on the way, so who is telling you?" ”

"A while ago, there was a controversy between the court and the Chinese government about the choice of the crown prince, and most of them supported King Jing as the crown prince, I heard that there are still King Ning's henchmen among these people, how did you do it?"

Xue Lingnan frowned and said impatiently: "You have too many questions. ”

"Hehe," Yu Shu let out a laugh, staring at his face with his eyes like torches, "It's King Xiang, right?" You and King Xiang have long been in a group, and the two of you have joined forces to deal with Da Tidian in order to cut off the foundation of Si Tianjian and prevent Da Tidian from swaying the next crown prince. Let me guess again, twenty years ago, the former emperor had not yet established the crown prince, and the king of Xiang was more popular than today's saints, but it was Si Tianjian's intervention that made him miss the throne, and he was unwilling in his heart, so he would plot with you, right? ”

Xue Lingnan didn't answer, but his sharp eyes had already told Yu Shu the answer.

"Are you done?"

"I've asked everything I should ask," Yu Shu raised his eyebrows and looked at him, and said fearlessly: "I know so many secrets of yours, I guess you can't let me out alive, right?" ”

Xue Lingnan's face suddenly sank like water, and he could see that she didn't intend to answer his question honestly at all.

"You kill me, I won't tell you any secrets about the Xuannu Liuren Book." Yu Shu closed his mouth tightly and lowered his head. Her heart is like a mirror, and if she wants to live, she must not speak. Because once she has no use value, this old thief will really take her life without hesitation.

Xue Rui is gone, and there is no one in the capital to protect her. It's ridiculous that she has been conceited all her life, and now that she is in the mouth of a tiger, she can only count on Da Tidian to learn the news of her accident and send someone to rescue her.

"You're looking for death." Xue Lingnan was finally angered by her, he sat up from the chair, looked at her with a cold light, turned around, and left here, leaving only one sentence: "Ah Yong, let her speak." ”

Ordered, the scar-faced man's eyes flashed with excitement, licked his lips, turned around and went to the torture rack to pick the tools in hand, picked and picked, and finally selected a palm-sized awl, roasted back and forth on the brazier for a while, walked back to Yu Shu, pulled her hair and made her look up, so that she could see what was in his hand clearly-

"This gadget is called the Soul Snatcher Cone, do you see the barbs on it, they all say that people have three souls and seven spirits, all in the head, you say, if I dig a hole in your head, will it hook your soul out?"

Yu Shu smelled the smell of burnt rust, and instead of looking at the hot red awl, she closed her eyes to hide the fear in her heart. The next moment, she felt the hot awl poke sharply in the center of her forehead, and she couldn't help but twist her neck to dodge, but someone grabbed her scalp, fixed her head, and pierced the awl into her eyebrows little by little, pulled it out, and stabbed it in again.

"Ahhh

She couldn't hold back any longer, let out a series of terrible screams, and struggled to get her hands and feet, but she pulled the bone nail in her arm, and the blood flow intensified, and soon penetrated half of her sleeve.

Her face was pinched, and then a fishy smell came close, and a slimy thing slid back and forth over the bloody hole in her brow, making her creep.

She opened her eyes suddenly, her eyes were bloodshot, staring vaguely at the scarred face in front of her who was excited because of bloodlust, trembling her throat, and said hoarsely: "I have Yu Shu, and I will take revenge." ”

I Yu Shu, if there is revenge, I will take revenge! (To be continued......)
