Chapter XXIV: The Search for the Truth II

Su Miaojing's voice was soft and looked at them, "Now, listen to me, let's go back to the night of eight days ago together, let's slowly recall, what were you doing then?" What did you see at the time? Or what did you hear? Then, slowly, word for word. Let's start with the far left, what is your name? Then one by one slowly. ”

I saw that they all closed their eyes, and the woman on the far left of the five people spoke in a flat voice, without ups and downs, "The slave maid is called Chun'er, at that time, the slave maid was cooking with Dong'er, who is also a maid, in the kitchen, and I heard a few maids outside talking about it. ”

When someone heard this, he asked in a faint voice, "What are you talking about?"

The woman, who called herself a slave, said slowly, "I heard the first maid say, 'It is as if the master's bronze guard had brought a woman back and locked her up in the dungeon. The little guy next to him chimed in, "Yes, I saw it too, and it was a very beautiful woman." Then the other maid said, 'You say, what is the master doing when he sends the bronze guard out to catch a woman and put her in the dungeon?' The dungeon was wet and damp, and there were so many rats that I heard that many people had died in it, and I could hear the cries of those people at night. I was very curious, so I hid outside the door and eavesdropped for a long time, and Dong'er saw where I had been eavesdropping, and said to me dissatisfiedly, "Don't listen, dinner will not be ready, and I will be scolded by the housekeeper again." After she finished speaking, I was also scared, so I didn't listen anymore, and ran out to cook with Dong'er. ”

Su Miaojing asked in an extremely soft voice, "Is there anything else you haven't said?" ”

She shook her head slowly, "No." ”

Su Miaojing asked in a soft tone, "Next, the second one, take your time, and say what your name is first?" And what did you see or hear at the time? ”

I saw her close her eyes and speak in a slow tone, "The slave maid is called Caihe, that night, the slave maid was cleaning in the study, after the master went in, he ordered me to retreat and meet the bronze guard, I was far away at the time, I didn't hear their conversation, and there were two bronze guards guarding the door, and the slave didn't dare to listen secretly." ”

Su Miaojing asked the third one in an extremely soft voice, "Come, the third, please tell me, your name, what did you see at that time, and what did your friend hear?" ”

I saw that the man's voice was indifferent and his tone was gentle, "The slave's name is Sheng Feng, he is an ordinary family member in the house, that day, the slave was chopping firewood in the courtyard of the firewood room, and after the splitting was done, he put the firewood in the firewood room, and then carried some to the kitchen. ”

Su Miaojing asked softly, "Then what did you hear?" ”

The man named Sheng Feng replied, "The slave was alone at the time, didn't hear anything?" ”

Then, she began to ask for the next one, "The fourth start." ”

The man in front of him closed his eyes and said as if he was asleep, "The minion's name is Copper Ten, and he is a member of the Bronze Guard." That night, I was in the cell with another bronze guard, named Copper Five, and I saw Copper throw the woman into the cell, and then went out to report to the master, and the master came to the dungeon with the copper one, and the master called the woman to speak, but she only said four words. I didn't want to spit out another word, so my master ordered Copper to be tortured, and Copper beat her with a salt-soaked whip, for a total of thirty-eight lashes, and at last, as soon as Copper stopped, he asked her again, but she could not speak, for she had been beaten unconscious. The master was afraid that she would die, so he ordered Tongyi to ask the doctor in the house to treat her, and when she woke up, the master asked her again, but she still had those four words, 'no comment', the master was annoyed, so he ordered me and Tongwu to take her into the water prison and lock her up, and Tongwu and I guarded her, and finally, until she was saved. ”

Shen Yunze, who heard this, was full of shock, he had asked for so long, and all kinds of torture had been performed, but he was stunned not to spit out a word, and now he actually said so. Listening to him say that Miao'er didn't want to talk about his illness, he was full of guilt and distress.

Now not only Shen Yunze was amazed, but even Shen Yunche had to be surprised, he could stand the torture, but he was sold by this little soul dementorship, he was too surprised and shocked by Jing'er. But when he heard about Jing'er's torture, he wanted to kill them immediately.

Shen Yunhao was also shocked, the eldest brother asked for so long, this person was stunned and didn't say anything, but now he said it all, he couldn't imagine that the woman in front of him was too terrible, if he was an enemy, he would definitely become a difficult person to deal with. When he heard that she was being tortured, he was also distressed, he didn't expect her to be so stubborn and tenacious.

Next, she said the same tone, "The fifth start." ”

The fifth person also seemed to be asleep, as if he was talking in a dream, "The slave's name is Jin Rong, and he is a handyman in the courtyard, and on that day, the slave was ordered by the housekeeper to go to the courtyard to fetch water, and the housekeeper told the servant to fill the water tank in the kitchen, and after I finished picking up the water, I went to rest." ”

Then I approached them, looked closely at their hands, and saw that the palms of the two women were calloused, which seemed to be the result of long-term work. She saw a thick layer of calluses between the thumb and forefinger of the third man's hands, apparently caused by years of holding an axe. He saw that the fourth man had a thick layer of calluses between the thumb and index finger of his right hand, which looked like the result of holding the sword for many years, but his left hand was very clean. The fifth person has some calluses on both hands, so it can be seen that they are not lying.

Then she came to the fourth person and spoke softly, "Tell me, what is your master's name?" What does it look like?"

The man named Copper Ten said with a sleeping face, "I don't know, the master never told his name, and never uncovered his silver mask. When we bronze guards saw him, they only called him master, and did not allow us to ask anything else. But ......"

He didn't say anything here, Su Miaojing was thinking in her heart, it seems that there is still a sense of resistance! She smiled all over her face and said softly, "It's okay, don't be afraid, it's okay, tell me, but what?" ”

"However, I once inadvertently broke into the master's room and glanced at him, only to see his side, and I remember seeing a mole on the master's right ear." ”

A woman asked lightly, "Help me draw it, okay?" ”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Shen Yunhao, "Untie his hands." ”

Shen Yunhao really wanted to ask, why me? But he obediently went to untie the ropes on his hands.

Jing Yi was thinking, it seems that only Miss Su and the prince of my family have made His Royal Highness King Jing.

Xuan You was also surprised that Miss Su actually made His Royal Highness King Jing, which was really strange.

Then, a certain woman gave him a brush and a piece of rice paper, and her voice was soft, "Can you draw the side you see?" ”

He nodded, picked up the brush, and when he was about to paint, Xuan Yu went and lifted the table in front of him, and then began to draw.

After a while, he finished painting and handed it to me, and I looked at it, and I could only see that the man in front of me was wearing a mask, and there was a mole on his ear, and nothing else looked like it.

A woman asked lightly, "Do you know how to write?" He shook his head. Sure enough, as she thought, these people only trained them how to kill, and would not teach them anything else. I thought that if he could write, he would describe it and draw it himself. After the painting, the bronze ten was tied up again.

When she finished asking, I saw her tap her palms and say, "Wake up!" ”

The five people opened their eyes in unison, they looked at the few people in front of them with confused faces, only to hear the two women were frightened, thinking that they were going to torture them again, "No, the slave really doesn't know anything......

The other two little guys were the same, begging for mercy, only Tong Shi looked at her calmly with a cold face.

A certain woman smiled, with a hint of teasing, "Your name is Copper Ten." Hearing this, Tong Shi's eyes widened, and he was shocked, he was thinking, how could she know that her name was Tong Shi, could it be ......, no, she remembered that I didn't say it!

Looking at his frightened expression, he smiled amusedly, "Aren't you surprised, how did I know your name, because you have already said it all just now!" ”

Tong Shi's face was full of disbelief, "Impossible, I will never say it." ”

A certain woman smiled, "Really? You just told me that your name is Copper Ten, and you have seen with your own eyes that your master has a mole on his ear, and that the companion who caught me with you is called Copper Five, and the companion who beat me with a whip is called Copper Ten......" At this point, he shouted like crazy, "Impossible, impossible......

A certain woman didn't look at him, but looked at Shen Yunze, "Let the four of them go!" As for him, let him go! Seeing that his face was full of madness, and he kept shouting that it was impossible, it was estimated that he was already crazy, and killing him would not make up for the damage I had suffered. Besides, I've driven him crazy, and that's enough. Killing people is not enough, and punishing people must be punished.

Shen Yunze nodded when he heard this.

When Shen Yunze saw her heart-wrenching move, he couldn't help but secretly admire, and the same was true for others.
