Chapter 458: Midnight Terror
Although Han Tian looked a little nervous, he didn't say a word again.
Su Yu asked a few more questions in a row, but Han Tian not only ignored it anymore, but even closed his eyes, which made Su Yu extremely annoyed, and got up and said, "If you want to consume, this official will accompany you to consume and see how long you can last." When I went out of the house, I saw that the night was dark, and several officials of Dali Temple were gathering together and whispering.
Seeing Su Yu coming, several officials bowed and saluted.
"It's no wonder that my Dali Temple is not as good as a day." Su Yu sighed and said, "If these people are thrown into the Criminal Department, I'm afraid they won't survive one night." ”
"My lord, you don't have to be polite to these people, just torture." Someone whispered: "The palace is waiting for a confession, and if they don't speak, the saint will blame." ”
Su Yu was a little jealous and said: "They are people from the three departments, if they are really tortured and spread out, our Dali Temple will inevitably have a feud with the three departments, they are all officials of the same dynasty, and they are really unwilling to hurt the harmony unless they have to." ”
"We all know that adults are generous." One said: "But now, I can't intercede with them." My lord, time is urgent, give them a few sets of punishments first, as long as one of them speaks first, this matter will be easy to handle. ”
An official beside Su Yu said, "My lord, according to the opinion of the lower officials, there is no need to rush to torture first. Attacking the heart, these people have been taken to Dali Temple for several hours, and they have been interrogated, although they have not spoken for a long time, but they have not eaten for a long time. The lower officials thought that if they first had someone prepare a table for them, they would be able to eat and drink to their heart's content, which also showed that we would treat them as colleagues, and after they were full of wine and food, we would talk to them with good words and let them know that there was no point in carrying on to death, and we were just thinking about them as colleagues. If they still don't say a word, we will have exhausted all our due affection, and it will not be too late to use the punishment, even if it spreads, the other ministries will know that we have treated these people well, and they will not blame us anymore. ”
Su Yu glanced at it, and naturally recognized that this was Si Nongfeng, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and said softly: "Invite them to dinner?" ”
"My lord, what Lord Shaoqing said is not unreasonable." Someone said: "Our Dali Temple entertained them with a table of banquets, then they did their duty as officials in the same dynasty, if they don't cooperate, it is deliberately difficult for us, we will torture them again, it is reasonable, no one can find a reason." ”
Su Yu thought for a moment before he said, "It makes sense." ”
"In addition, the three of them have a table to eat, we don't let one person inside, only the three of them are in the same room." Si Nongfeng said in a low voice: "Let's arrange people under the wall and see what they say." When they see no one, they may not be able to tell some useful clues, and if they do, they will be even more desperate. ”
"Not bad." Su Yu showed a hint of a smile and ordered: "Hurry up and let people prepare wine and food, and arrange a table for them." ”
At this time, it was late at night, and at this hour on weekdays, Master Su, who had been maintaining his health, had already fallen asleep and tossed for most of the night, at this moment Su Yu was really a little sleepy, and ordered: "After the banquet, immediately separate them for interrogation, the old man will go to rest for a while, and then send someone to call me." ”
He was very old and had limited energy, and he was a little sleepy, so he went back to his room and sat down in a chair, and although his confession had not yet been tried, and he was a little anxious, he sat on the chair, and fell asleep in a daze.
I don't know how long it took, but a panicked cry woke Su Yu up.
Su Yu opened his eyes
Seeing several officials standing in front of him, the room was lit with lights, but it was quite bright, and seeing the frightened faces of several officials, Su Yu immediately knew that something was wrong, and instantly sobered up, and asked urgently: "What's the matter?" ”
Although Dali Temple is Qingshui Yamen, he is the highest official of Dali Temple, and a group of officials ran into their houses without their permission, which is of course an unprecedented thing.
Such a strange thing, if it were normal, Su Yu would definitely be angry, but today is an extraordinary time, and his heart sank, knowing that there is no good thing.
Several officials looked at each other, almost all of them in shock.
"What the hell is going on?" Seeing that a few people didn't reply, Su Yu said angrily.
Si Nongfeng, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, said stiffly: "My lord, big ..... Big things are not good, you ..... Come and have a look! ”
At this time, what Su Yu was most afraid of was the words "big things are not good", and he stood up with a snort, and several officials saw this, without saying a word, they turned around and led the way in front, and no one dared to say a word.
The dignified Dali Siqing, this time he followed behind a group of subordinate officials, and when he arrived in a courtyard, he saw that people had been sent to guard the courtyard inside and outside, and he looked like he was facing a great enemy.
After entering the courtyard, the officials no longer went to the room, only Si Nongfeng walked to the door and glanced at Su Yu, Su Yu's face was solemn, and he saw that the lights were lit in the house, and there was even a smell of wine diffusing from the house.
He walked quickly to the door, looked into the house, and facing the door was a screen depicting a hundred birds, Si Nongfeng followed Su Yu's side, accompanied him around the screen, and saw that behind the screen was a table of banquets, with a lamppost on the side, the lights were bright, there was a table of dishes on the table, and there were also two wine jars.
There were three chairs set up at the wine table, and one person sat in each chair, and the three of them were the three directors who were brought into Dali Temple for interrogation.
Su Yu only glanced at it, and exclaimed "Ah", his legs were weak, and he was about to go limp, but fortunately, Si Nongfeng on the side stretched out his hand to support him, and shouted: "My lord, ......!" ”
Naturally, the officials outside also heard the voice, and several officials hurried in.
At the wine table, a master was lying on the table, his face pressed against a wine bowl, perhaps because his head was heavy, the wine bowl had been crushed, and the porcelain pieces were pierced into the man's face, but the man was motionless.
The other principal threw himself on the ground, his chair tilted to the side.
Han Tian sat with his back against the chair, but his hands hung down softly, and what was frightening was that there was black blood flowing out of Han Tian's mouth, nose and eyes, a pair of eyes were open, blood was full of them, and his whole body was motionless, that was dead and could not die again.
The three principals who were brought into Dali Temple for interrogation all died here.
Although Su Yu was being supported, his mind was blank, and he looked at Han Tian's terrifying face in a daze, and soon, he felt that his eyes were black, dizzy, his body was crooked, and he leaned on Si Nongfeng, fainting in fright.
When Master Su woke up, he opened his eyes and found that there were figures around him, and he said weakly: "That..... What about those men..... What's going on? ”
Of course, the surrounding officials knew who Su Yu was talking about, and looked at each other, but after all, it was Si Nongfeng who said softly: "My lord, it's all ..... They're all dead! ”
Su Yu couldn't lift it up in one breath, almost
was about to faint again, Si Nongfeng hurriedly stroked his chest to help him calm down, and said anxiously: "My lord, you can't have anything, it's a big matter, you can't do it without you." ”
Su Yu walked over and said with a wry smile: "Let's wait to be dragged to the execution ground and lose our heads." The director of the third division has just entered the ...... It was not a night before I entered Dali Temple, and I ..... died in Dali Temple, the old man was blamed for this crime..... The old man can't afford it, and you can't afford ......! Suddenly realized something, and said hurriedly: "Do you close the yamen and don't let people leave?" ”
"When I returned to my lord's words, I found that the three principals were poisoned and died, and the lower officials had already asked people to guard the gates of Dali Temple and not let anyone leave." Si Nongfeng hurriedly said: "For the time being, only the people of our Dali Temple know that the three of them were poisoned, and there is no spread of it. ”
Su Yu barely sat upright, and only then did he realize that he had been carried back to his room, and he was relieved before he said, "Poisoned to death?" ”
"According to the instructions of the lord, the lower official ordered the back kitchen to prepare a table of banquets." Si Nongfeng said cautiously: "After getting ready, I arranged the three of them into the house and told them that it was the adults who arranged wine and food for them, so that they could eat and drink enough before cooperating with our interrogation." Xia Guan also said that the adults were thinking that everyone was in the same dynasty as officials, and hoped that this case could cooperate with each other and conclude the case smoothly, but they didn't say anything. We closed the doors and windows, leaving only the three of them inside, and sent a few more people to spy on the front and back windows. ”
Su Yu said: "What did they say? ”
"Didn't say anything." Si Nongfeng said: "There was no movement in the house at first, and after a while, there was a messy sound in the house, but it quickly disappeared, and there has been no sound since then..... Only then did I discover the scene in the house. His face was also terrified: "Nothing has moved in the house, we will report to the adults immediately, and the situation after the incident is what the adults have just seen." ”
"Where does the poison come from?"
"Wine is poisonous." Immediately, an official said: "Xiaguan just asked people to inspect the scene, and there is no poison in the dishes, but in the two jars of wine prepared for them, there is a highly poisonous Heding Red, and the symptoms of the poisoning of the three of them are exactly what the Heding Red looks like after the poison." ”
Si Nongfeng said: "The three suspects are nervous, in this case, it is natural to use alcohol to suppress the shock, the murderer knows that these three people will definitely drink, so he put the crane top red in the wine, this crane top red is extremely poisonous, and after entering the abdomen, it will soon have an attack." ”
"Who gave them the wine?"
"The food and drinks are all delivered from the back kitchen." Si Nongfeng smiled bitterly: "After the incident, Xia Guan immediately sent someone to control the few people in the back kitchen, there are a total of three people preparing wine and food in the back kitchen tonight, two of them have been controlled, and one person is ......!" After hesitating for a moment, he finally said: "There is another person who is the handyman who brought them wine and food, and when he found it, he died in a room next to the kitchen, and ..... When he died, he was holding a bottle of Heding Red in his hand, and the symptoms of poisoning were that he took Heding Red and died of poison! ”
