Chapter 495: Re-interrogation
The last time I asked, the palace maids in the palace of the concubine all said in one voice that they didn't know when the concubine went out and why. Xiao Chumo knew that such a simple inquiry would not be able to tell the truth, so this time he deliberately brought someone from the Shen Criminal Division over, and put a lot of torture instruments next to him, forcibly turning this empty palace into an interrogation room in a prison.
Of course, in order to prevent those palace maids from still having a fluke mentality, before the interrogation began, he had already ordered that if no one was willing to let go in the end, those torture instruments could not be regarded as real decorations.
As soon as such an order is passed on, anyone knows that this regent is going to be serious, and a stubborn mouth will only cause these palace ladies to be severely punished.
Originally, these people who entered the palace as slaves have always been very afraid of the Shen Penal Division, in their hearts, it is simply a place to eat people without spitting out bones, in case they accidentally enter, they are afraid that they will have to shed their skin if they don't die.
Now that the people of the Criminal Justice Division were standing in front of them with expressionless faces, and the terrifying torture instruments on the side could even be used by them at will, the palace maids had long been frightened. Especially the two palace maids who were dressed differently, their eyes turned white when they saw those torture instruments, and even their hands trembled slightly, as if they had seen the "predecessors" who died tragically under those torture instruments in the past.
The reaction of these two people was too obvious, although the other palace maids were also afraid, but not to the extent that they were scared to the point of trembling. Xiao Chumo's eyes had been secretly observing the demeanor of these palace maids, and when he noticed that something was wrong with the two of them, he naturally had some conjectures in his heart. If you take a closer look, it turns out that the colors of the clothes worn by these two people are obviously brighter than those of other palace maids, and they are the palace maids who are responsible for serving the concubine closely, which should be counted as first-class. In other words, it should be good to use the word "confidant" to describe it.
The concubine has no children and no daughters under her knees, and her mother's family is not a casual summon on weekdays, if there is something hidden in her heart, the easiest thing to loosen her mouth is to serve these two henchmen and palace maids.
Although Xiao Chumo was not as delicate as Yu Panxi, he probably knew that this was a little bit twisted and turned, so at this time, when he saw that the two palace maids were clearly hiding something, he glanced at the people from the Shen Penal Division who were waiting on the side, and motioned for the latter to take the two down for interrogation separately.
And the rest of the palace maids, although they were not treated so alone, did not let them leave, and were still taken by the people of the Criminal Department for questioning. However, compared with the two palace maids just now, they are much more comfortable, and they can still be accompanied by three or two of them, which can be regarded as being accompanied.
Everyone in the palace knows what the Punishment Division is, even if this palace has experienced several turmoil in succession, but there are no less ways to torture people there. In addition, Xiao Chumo is personally sitting here at the moment, and the person who was transferred over naturally wants to try his best to please this regent, so when interrogating the palace maid, it can be said that he took out his housekeeping skills, and he punished one of them after a while.
The screams immediately came into the hall from outside, and it was very miserable and abrupt in this relatively quiet hall. The palace maids who were separated for interrogation were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they hurriedly shouted to the grandmother who was in charge of interrogating them and begged for mercy.
In the other room in charge of interrogating the palace maid alone, an old lady had an unkind face, and pointed in the direction where the screams came with some disdain, but the words in her mouth were said to the person in front of her.
"Well, do you hear the shouting over there? If you continue to keep your mouth, it will be your turn to scream like that in a while! ”
She wasn't a threat at all, after all, the regent had already ordered it, and if she really couldn't tell the truth, she could be punished occasionally.
Xiao Chumo didn't lower his voice at all when he said this, everyone present could hear it clearly, and this first-class palace maid was naturally no exception. She listened to Mama's half-threatening and half-reminding words, and listened to the screams of her good sister coming from the other side one after another, and she didn't know if she was frightened, but her face turned pale and trembled.
However, in just a short time, the hard-mouthed palace maid was frightened and opened her mouth, and she was finally willing to tell what she had concealed before. On the other side, the first-class palace maid who had been punished just now couldn't stand the punishment, and at the same time relieved.
Since both of them were willing to speak, the people from the Criminal Division were not ambiguous at all, and after listening to it once, they hurriedly brought the person back to Xiao Chumo. It's just that unlike Fang Cai, but in just a few incense sticks, the two first-class palace maids who were still fine were trembling like a sieve at the moment, and they were obviously frightened; And the other one who had been tortured was even more ruthless, with a cloak and blood flowing from both hands, which looked extremely miserable!
However, for such a situation, Xiao Chumo did not have the slightest mercy, and even looked at the two palace maids without any emotional fluctuations in their eyes, and only let out a cold snort from his nose: "What are you all hiding, let's say it again one by one!" ”
The two of them were tried separately, and the two grandmothers who were in charge of interrogating them also heard the confession once in advance before bringing people over, and now Xiao Chumo asked the two palace maids to say it again in person, just to see if what they just said to the grandmother was true or false, and whether the confession could match the other person. Moreover, the witnesses who testify can only be the two grandmothers in charge of the interrogator.
There is no indestructible friendship in this palace, let alone the unjust friendship between master and servant. If the concubine was still alive, maybe these two first-class palace maids would still be a little entangled and hesitant, but now that their loyal masters are no longer there, and they urgently need the secrets they know to save their lives, they naturally will not hide anything more, but you and I will rush to tell this secret.
And as the two palace maids hurriedly told the story, the secret they hid for the concubine made all the people in the palace can't help but widen their eyes, revealing an incredible look on their faces.
It turned out that before the concubine died, she didn't know when she actually looked at one of the guards in the palace, and even took advantage of the convenience that there were basically no outsiders in the harem who would break in, and quietly brought people to her palace several times. And every time like this, all the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace of the concubine will be kicked out, leaving only the two first-class palace maids closest to her to wait outside the house.
Although the concubine has the title of concubine, her age is not too old, and even her appearance and figure are the most charming when a woman is at her best. At this time, the woman had just tasted such a beautiful taste for a few years, how could she be willing to stay alone in this harem for the rest of her life?
