Chapter 55: What Did You Say to the Cell Boss?
The assassin looked up suddenly, and his face faded when he recognized that the small black bag Cheng Chumo was holding was the poison bag he had hidden in his back molars.
There was already despair in his tone.
"Hehe......"
"Now that it's in your hands."
"It's killing or slashing!"
"It's easier than you think."
Cheng Chumo glanced at the latter coldly.
"Your assassination not only shocked the princess, but also almost killed me, how can it be that you can solve it with one listener?"
The Assassin's face turned pale.
He lowered his head and did not speak.
“……”
"Brother Junxian, how is the thing I asked you to do?"
Looking at the silent assassin, Cheng Chumo suddenly changed his words, turned his head and asked Li Junxian on the side.
"That's it!"
Li Junxian nodded coldly, and coolly handed a piece of paper to Cheng Chumo's hand.
The latter opened the rice paper and looked at it.
"Ouch?"
"Wu Jun, you have a good name!"
“……”
The assassin's body trembled slightly, but he still kept his head down and did not speak.
"It doesn't matter if you don't speak, hehe......"
Cheng Chumo smiled slightly.
"It's okay for you to listen to me."
"Wu Jun, a native of Wu'an County, Mingzhou, settled in Chang'an City after fighting with the army seven years ago, and became a businessman in a medicinal herb shop.
"Tut-tut......"
Speaking of this, Cheng Chu pursed his lips silently.
"Young man, your life after tea and dinner is still quite rich!"
"Your wife is also quite capable of giving birth."
"But ......"
Cheng sat down across from the Assassin.
He lowered his voice and said coldly to the latter.
"You said that if you die, won't your wives and children marry into other people's wives, and your two sons will also change their surnames?"
"The worst thing is your mother!"
At this point, the Assassin's body began to tremble uncontrollably.
And Cheng Chumo still said coldly.
"I'm afraid that if no one takes care of her, she will freeze to death in the winter moon of this year."
"Tut-tut......"
"The cost of this assassination is really not small!"
“……”
After speaking, Cheng stood up silently, stared at the back of the latter's lowered head and waited without saying a word.
Minutes and seconds passed.
The horror of the prison of only three people, the loyalty to his employer and the safety of his family tormented Wu Jun's heart all the time, making his psychological defense gradually begin to collapse.
The voices and smiles of his wife and children and the old mother kept flashing in front of his eyes.
Finally!
After a long time.
"Ah......h
"Woo ......"
The tower-like man cried out loudly, clanging the big iron chains that held him together, and raised his head with blood-red eyes.
"Little grandfather!"
"I said, I'll say whatever you ask, please let me go."
"Spare my family!"
“……”
Li Junxian, who had been looking at him coldly on the side, had his eyes lit up, and he clearly knew that although the information about Wu Jun could not be faked, at this time, Wu Jun's family had been protected by Cheng Chumo.
At this time, in the middle of the prison, he said something silent.
Totally scaring the latter.
But such a lie, which usually seems to be pierced, has broken the psychological defense line of an iron-clad man alive under Cheng Chumo's trial!
This...... It's a little too scary!
Li Junxian was secretly speechless.
Next, I'm afraid that Wu Jun will spit out, and Cheng Chumo, who has obtained the evidence, will arrest people, right?
"I don't want to hear from you!"
Unexpectedly.
Cheng Chumo just glanced at the latter indifferently and decisively refused.
This refusal not only stunned Li Junxian on the side, but also caught Wu Jun, who was ready to speak, off guard.
"You ......"
"This ......"
Wu Jun was stunned, looked at Cheng Chumo and opened his mouth for a while, not knowing what to say.
"Just let you say that you didn't say it."
"Now, you don't have a chance!"
After that, Cheng Chumo ignored Wu Jun's repeated pleas behind him, and directly turned around and left the cell with Li Junxian in a daze.
When leaving the cell.
Cheng Chumo called the old cell boss and commanded a few words in his ear to the latter.
The cell boss was shocked.
"Little grandpa, is this really possible?"
"Feasible!"
Cheng Chumo smiled slightly.
"You just have to do what I say, and I'll take care of the rest later tomorrow, remember!"
Cheng Chumo looked at the latter solemnly.
"No matter what happens, no one is allowed to come near the cell and no one is allowed to make a noise."
"Yes!"
The old cell head nodded.
……
Out of Dali Temple, Li Junxian, who was following Cheng Chumo, kept frowning, as if he was thinking about something.
Cheng Chumo glanced at the latter.
decided to pretend to be a hand and teach Li Junxian a lesson with modern thinking.
"Ahem......"
"Jun Xian!"
Cheng Chumo cleared his throat with an old-fashioned look.
"Are you a little puzzled by what I did in prison today?"
“……”
Li Junxian frowned.
Although Cheng Chumo's tone made him a little unhappy, he did have a few questions in his heart that still needed to be answered by Cheng Chumo.
"Hmm."
Nodding, Li Junxian asked.
"There are really three points that I haven't figured out."
"First of all, after the assassination last night, why did you make the first decision to block the news, little grandfather?"
"How does this help move the case forward?"
"Absolutely."
Cheng Chumo nodded.
"The assassination of me should have been conspired by Wang Gui's father and son, and the rest of the Wang clan members didn't know about it, not only that, except for this one assassin who was captured by us, the rest of the assassins have been ambushed!"
"Wang Gui has received no news."
"The enemy is clear and I am dark, and His Majesty's will is to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots if there is a chance."
"The news blockade is conducive to our next actions."
“……”
Li Junxian was silent for a while, and then probably understood what Cheng Chumo meant, and nodded lightly.
"I figured out the first point."
"Second, why did you stop Wu Jun just now when he wanted to reveal the mastermind behind the scenes?"
"Hehe......"
Cheng Chumo smiled slightly.
"It's even simpler."
"I just caught him, and after some heart-wrenching words, it seems that his psychological defense has been broken, but in fact, he has also thought of a confession that can be told to us during this period of time, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false."
"So, what he's going to say next, I don't listen!"
"Not bad!"
"Makes sense!"
Li Junxian's eyes lit up, and the doubts in his heart suddenly cleared.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Chumo was not very old, but his control of people's hearts was far beyond his own, and Li Junxian couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart.
The tone of his voice couldn't help but respect a lot.
"This third point, little grandfather."
Li Junxian blinked.
"What did you just say to the cell boss?"
