Chapter 19: Freshen up and scrutinize
Jiuhuang then said to the two: "I have found the person." ”
When Su Nu and Qin Jue heard Jiuhuang's words, they hurriedly asked Jiuhuang and said, "If someone finds him, then take him directly to the court and let him turn himself in." ”
Jiuhuang sighed and shook his head, if it was really as simple as they said, why should he be so distressed.
"He is a descendant of a concubine who lives outside the Xu Mansion, and he is unwilling to admit that he framed my father for greedy ink."
Kindness? Hearing Jiuhuang's explanation, Qin Jue and Su Nu couldn't help but wonder in their eyes, the people of the Xu family can still frame the people of the Xu family, this person is a brain show, right?
"What do you mean?"
Su Nu looked at Jiuhuang and asked the doubts in her heart.
I just glanced at the plain girl and Qin Jue who were full of doubts, and then told Xu Liang and the Xu family's guan system.
After listening to Jiuhuang's words, Qin Jue thought for a moment and said, "He is taking revenge on the Xu family, how can he wash away the grievances of your father!" ”
A word woke up the person in the dream, Jiuhuang never understood why Xu Liang wanted to frame Xu Yang, it turned out that he just wanted to take revenge on the Xu family.
It's just that what's the use of his revenge, he is a descendant of the Xu family, although he is a concubine, but he always has the blood of the Xu family in his body, which can never be changed.
But didn't he forget that what he had in his body was also the blood of the Xu family? Isn't he digging his own grave by doing so? Su Nu asked what Jiuhuang was thinking.
"It seems that this person has to be interrogated well, if not, use some special techniques, and must pry his mouth open, otherwise you can't wash away your father's grievances at all."
Jiuhuang nodded when he heard Qin Jue's words.
Near dusk, after Jiuhuang finished his meal with Su Nu and Qin Jue, several people came to the firewood room where Xu Liang was being held and continued to interrogate Xu Liang.
When Jiuhuang asked Xu Liang again who was behind the people behind him who instructed him to frame Xu Yang, Xu Liang always answered as before.
"Jiuhuang County Lord, although you are the county lord, you can't bully others and frame me, I am also the court official of the Celestial Empire."
Su Nu didn't wait for Jiuhuang to answer, looked at Xu Liang and said coldly: "Framed you? I don't think so. As long as you are willing to tell the person behind the scenes who instructed you to frame Lord Xu Yang, and are willing to testify for Lord Xu in court and admit that it was Lord Xu who you framed, we will let you go, so as not to suffer some unnecessary flesh and blood. ”
When Xu Liang heard Su Nu's words, disdain flashed on his face, and he turned his head to look at Su Nu on the side, and said, "Who are you?" When the official talks to the county lord, isn't it just that your lowly woman can participate? ”
Xu Liang was unreasonable to the plain girl. When the plain girl heard this, she didn't think about it, so she directly took out the leather whip on her body and whipped it on Xu Liang's body.
was whipped with a leather whip by a little girl, how could a heart that has always been arrogant endure it?
I saw him staring at Su Nu with spreading anger, and because of Su Nu's previous behavior, Xu Yang didn't dare to say some insults again. Sexual words, can only stare at the plain girl with his eyes.
Jiuhuang motioned for her to stop after Su Nu gave her a whip, and then looked at Xu Liang and said, "If you promise us, I can get my father to agree to your return to Xu Mansion, or even to Shangjing." ”
Regarding Jiuhuang's words, Xu Liang still disdains it. He Xu Liang doesn't need the sympathy of others, no, he doesn't need other people's charity, even if he wants to return to Shangjing in his heart, he will use his own ability to come back, come back proudly, and make the people of the Xu family regret what they did in the beginning.
Just like now, Xu Yang was put in prison by him, and Jiuhuang bowed down in front of him in order to save Xu Yang, so he almost didn't come to him directly.
Do they think that if they let him return to Xu's house and let him return to Shangjing, he will save Xu Yang? Then they really underestimate him. He did not hesitate to take advantage of the life and death of his wife and children, in order to move to the Xu family, so that the Xu family would always be trampled under his feet.
Seeing that Xu Liang didn't speak for a long time, Jiuhuang couldn't help but ask again: "How about it, as long as you agree to my conditions, I will definitely honor my promise, otherwise, you can only suffer from flesh and skin, don't think that I am just a woman, there are too many ways for me to make you speak." ”
Xu Liang was just dismissive of the threat behind Jiuhuang, in his opinion, even if Jiuhuang had killed the enemy in battle, he believed that he would not dare to do anything to him.
Not to mention that he is an official of the imperial court, killing an official of the imperial court is to be punished, just saying that he is the only person who can hopefully help Xu Yang out of prison, Jiuhuang does not dare to do anything to him.
"Xiaguan has made it very clear, what is framed and what is behind the scenes, Xiaguan really doesn't know, and I ask the county lord of Jiuhuang to put down the official and return to Jiangnan."
I have to say that Xu Liang really understood Jiuhuang, and it was his own self-righteousness that caused the criminal law he was subjected to later.
Seeing that Xu Lian was unwilling to admit in his story and unwilling to distinguish for Xu Yang, Jiuhuang could only use criminal law against Xu Liang.
Just as Jiuhuang ordered someone to bring up the criminal law that had been discussed with Su Nuqin and the two of them against Xu Liang, a voice sounded from outside the door.
"A person who can put the lives of his wife and children at risk, this prince thinks that ordinary methods are not enough to make him speak."
As he spoke, Zhao Xuan's figure had already appeared in the room.
Zhao Xuan glanced at Su Nu and Qin Jue, then his gaze stayed on Jiuhuang's body, and then smiled at Jiuhuang.
"The third prince is here. Why didn't anyone tell me? ”
Jiuhuang's slightly blaming words sounded in the house, and the housekeeper who had been guarding the door heard it and was about to explain to Jiuhuang, but Zhao Xuan's voice sounded again at this time: "It was this prince who insisted on breaking in, and the county lord forgive me." ”
Su Nu looked at Zhao Xuan's eyes when he looked at Jiuhuang, a trace of doubt flashed in her heart, and then she saluted Zhao Xuan.
"The Three Princes"
Zhao Xuan saw Su Nu's movements and waved his hand at her, not realizing at all that the person saluting him in front of him would be a young soldier who asked him for help in the army.
The moment Qin Jue saw Zhao Xuan's appearance, the shock in his heart was self-evident, although he knew his identity, but seeing that it was only more than half a month now, he came to the Xu Mansion without reporting and broke in, and Jiuhuang never blamed him, when did their relationship become so good?
Zhao Xuan skipped Jiuhuang and the others, looked at Xu Liang, who was sitting on the ground with his hands and feet tied, and said, "He still doesn't want to say?" ”
Although Zhao Xuan's eyes were looking at Xu Liang, everyone in the room knew that Zhao Xuan was saying this to Jiuhuang.
Jiuhuang heard Zhao Xuan's words, then nodded and said, "He still doesn't want to say it." ”
Zhao Xuan didn't make a sound, but just looked at Xu Liang like that, and didn't speak for a long time.
Somehow, when Xu Liang felt Zhao Xuan's gaze on him, he felt a trembling feeling in his heart, as if Zhao Xuan's swollen eyes had a kind of magic, a magic that made his soul tremble.
"Give him a grooming finish."
After being silent for a long time, Zhao Xuan suddenly said loudly.
In addition to Zhao Xuan himself, only Qin Jue could sense that there were not only a few of them in the room, he felt that in the air, there were several extremely faint breaths coming from the room.
Although it seemed like an illusion to take a faint breath, after hearing Zhao Xuan's words, Qin Jue knew that his feelings were not wrong.
And after Zhao Xuan's words fell, a man in black flashed in front of everyone. The man in black was holding a large iron comb in his hand.
Su Nu and Jiuhuang looked at Zhao Xuan with puzzled faces, not understanding what the man in black he summoned was going to do?
Although the official position was obtained with his own money, how could Xu Liang, who had been an official for so many years, not know about some of the torture used when examining prisoners.
After he heard Zhao Xuan's words, a trace of bad premonition flashed in his heart, and then when he saw the man in black appear, he knew what Zhao Xuan meant with the iron comb in his hand.
He was going to use a grooming session on him, and a trace of horror flashed across Xu Liang's face.
"You two go out first."
Zhao Xuan suddenly said to Jiuhuang and Su Nu. The faces of the two looked at Zhao Xuan with doubt, and then Su Nu remembered what she had occasionally heard in the mouths of some high-ranking people when she was in Qin Ya Pavilion before.
Looking at the black-clothed man in front of her, Su Nu suddenly understood what Zhao Xuan was talking about just now.
Su Nu pulled Jiuhuang and walked out of the door, and then whispered in Jiuhuang's ear.
There were screams of pain one after another from the house, and the sharp sound made the people outside the room tremble, and the changes in their bodies made them think that the person being punished was themselves, and a shivering coldness hit their bodies.
Fortunately, this is in Xu's house, fortunately this is in the remote firewood house of Xu's house, and even more fortunately, this is at night, otherwise Xu Liang's shouts in a house will definitely attract people.
In the house, after the man in black combed the iron in his hand on Xu Liang's body, Xu Liang had already fainted to death from the torture pain on his body.
Zhao Xuan walked out of the house, Qin Jue followed, saw the two come out, Jiuhuang looked at the room behind the two suspiciously, and then asked, "How is it?" Is he willing to say it? ”
Qin Jue glanced at Jiuhuang and shook his head.
"Wait until he wakes up, let's do this tonight, and if he still can't ask tomorrow, he will continue."
Zhao Xuan said to Jiuhuang.
Hearing Zhao Xuan's words, Jiuhuang's heart did not relax, but became even more nervous, tomorrow is the last day, how can she wait?
Perhaps seeing the worry in Jiuhuang's heart, Zhao Xuan said: "Don't worry, if he doesn't say it, I will also let Xu Yang out of prison to prove his grievances." ”
For some reason, hearing Zhao Xuan's words, Jiuhuang actually believed his words and believed that he could save her father-in-law.
Although that matter was very troublesome, Zhao Xuan knew that if Xu Liang was really unwilling to let go of his mouth and clarify for Xu Yang, then if he wanted to prove that Xu Yang was framed, he had to use that method, even if he knew that method might not be able to rescue Xu Yang, but he had to give it a try.
