Chapter 56: Interrogation in the Dungeon
In the confusion, Zhao Hongxing had a dream.
He dreamed of a dozen people, all of them like humanoid Gundams, galloping across the battlefield, constantly slashing at the enemies who stood in his way.
In the end, these people fought into a city, and in the main hall in the center of the city, a man more than two meters tall, wearing heavy armor and holding a large sword, fought a bloody battle with them.
Finally, the giant man fell, and his head was cut off with a knife, however, less than ten of the dozen or so people survived.
Two men, carrying the head of the giant man, went south. And the body of this giant man was carried by the remaining five or six people and walked towards the north.
Zhao Hongxing stood in this hall, looking at the figures of the two waves of people in the distance, motionless. Subsequently, the main hall collapsed and buried Zhao Hongxing alive below.
"Ah!" because he dreamed that he was buried alive, Zhao Hongxing screamed, and then sat up violently on the bed.
"Hey, wake up!" When he got up, he heard a familiar voice crying out to him.
Frightened, Zhao Hongxing turned his head and saw that there were three or five people gathering on the side of his bed, and the one who screamed was his fifth sister, Zhao Zhongling.
Seeing Zhao Hongxing doing it, Zhao Zhongling proudly poked Hongyi, who was standing aside, with his elbow and said, "Look, I said this can wake him up." ”
"......" Hongyi looked at Zhao Zhongling a little speechlessly.
Zhao Zhongling's way of waking up Zhao Hongxing was to lie on his stomach and keep telling ghost stories, in her opinion, that is, as long as he had a nightmare and dreamed of it, he would definitely wake up in fright.
Therefore, what Zhao Hongxing dreamed about just now, I don't know if it is related to the ghost story told by Zhao Zhongling.
"Sixth brother!" Le Aya, who was originally sitting at the tea table, immediately spread over when she saw Zhao Hongxing sitting up, her eyes were red, and she was about to shed tears.
"Don't cry, don't cry, didn't I promise to take you to Wenfanglou to watch the show at night, did you forget? Don't cry!" Zhao Hongxing saw that Le Aya was about to cry, his head was big, and he quickly took out the conditions that he had promised Le Aya and began to coax.
"What about taking people to watch the show at night?" Zhao Zhongling pinched his waist, "This is what you promised five days ago." ”
"Huh?" Zhao Hongxing expressed disbelief at Zhao Zhongling's words, so he looked at Hongyi.
"Yes Childe, you've been lying down for five days. Hongyi nodded and said, "It was five days ago that we met that person called Facewalker. ”
Why did my life disappear for five days inexplicably? Zhao Hongxing recalled with a confused look what he had done before he lost consciousness.
"I went to see the scene of the crime that day, and then, and then I caught the murderer, and then I met a bastard in black, I definitely couldn't beat him......" Zhao Hongxing muttered as he recalled this, and suddenly there was a sound about Hongyi being seriously injured by the facewalker.
"Hongyi, are you okay?" Zhao Hongxing hurriedly asked.
"I'm fine, Childe. Hongyi said with a smile. He was indeed fine, and it took two days for the healing internal force in his body to repair Hongyi's injuries, including the shattered finger bones.
In the past two days, in addition to the astonishing amount of food, he has not left any other sequelae.
"Aya'er, are you okay?" Zhao Hongxing remembered that the bastard seemed to want to kill Le Aya. But now that Le Aya is sitting in front of her, she looks fine.
Hearing Zhao Hongxing's inquiry, Le Aya nodded obediently, although the tears that kept rolling in her eyes did not fall, she looked very pitiful with teary eyes.
"It's okay, it's okay. Zhao Hongxing patted Le Aya's head, and said in his heart that it would be better to let her cry for a while.
"Childe," Hongyi also leaned over and asked, "Do you remember how you fainted?"
"Oh, did I faint?" Zhao Hongxing had a "I just knew" expression on his face.
"So, you don't remember what you did before you fell?" asked Zhao Zhongling.
Zhao Hongxing recalled carefully, in fact, the events of that day were like yesterday, he still remembered almost every detail, and even remembered that he didn't know why at that time, looking at the black-clothed bastard and hating the root of his teeth. However, when the momentum that came from nowhere exploded in his body, he had no follow-up memory.
"No, I don't remember......," Zhao Hongxing replied truthfully.
"Alas, well. Zhao Zhongling seemed to be very regretful, "Get dressed when you wake up, Daddy is waiting to see you." ”
"Ah, don't I have to recuperate for two days?" Zhao Hongxing said in his heart, why did he just wake up from a "coma"? Why did he ask to get out of bed.
"What are you still recuperating?" Zhao Zhongling thrust his waist again, "Do you know what the imperial doctor said after examining you? You just fell asleep, you know! And you slept for several days, what else do you raise!"
After speaking, Zhao Zhongling walked out, "It's as strong as a cow, sleeps like a pig, sleeps a few more days to nourish your fat, maybe if you slaughter it, you can add a dish to your eldest brother's wedding banquet." ”
Babbling in his mouth, Zhao Zhongling picked up the curtain and went out.
"......" Zhao Hongxing was dumbfounded by Zhao Zhongling's thoughts.
"Actually, the fifth sister is still very worried about your ...... the sixth brother" Le Aya looked at Zhao Hongxing's speechless expression, as if she was afraid that he would be unhappy, and hurriedly explained for Zhao Zhongling: "Fifth sister is guarding you every day when you come here these days. When the sixth brother was just carried back, he cried for a while. ”
"Who is crying! I'm blinded by the sand!" Outside, Zhao Zhong's angry retort came.
Roar, roar, I can't imagine that this fifth princess of Yanfeng is still a princess of the "tsundere" department.
Zhao Hongxing smiled, turned over, and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Fifth sister, can you let me eat something before I go to see my father, if nothing else, I shouldn't have eaten for five days, right?" Zhao Hongxing asked Zhao Zhongling outside.
"Eat, eat more, two meals is enough!" Zhao Zhongling said as if he was impatient.
"Enough, thank you, sister, sister is so nice. Zhao Hongxing said as he smiled at Le Aya and Hongyi.
Hurry up to eat, just after eating, I went to find the emperor's father, he also had a stomach full of questions to ask.
————————————
The eastern district of the capital, the dungeon of the criminal department.
The dungeon of the Criminal Department is similar to the way the dungeon of Wenfang Building is built, it is more solid and the location of the construction is deeper, not to mention, in addition to the guards of nearly a hundred people, there are five teams of ten martial artists from the first to the upper third level of the first and upper three levels in each team on duty.
At this time, the gangster who had his hands cut off and his lumbar vertebrae was cut off by Le Aya and was imprisoned in a cell. This guy didn't have handcuffs or leg irons, mainly because he didn't need them. Although the hands were picked up by the soldiers of the patrol battalion very "intimately", they didn't plan to pick him up at all, and when they escorted him here, those two hands didn't know where they were lost.
In the past few days, in order to "take care" of him who has no hands, the prison meal specially prepared for him is a liquid food that can be drunk when he is served. However, if he eats and drinks too much, he urinates more, but he can't untie his pants without his hands, and second, he is paralyzed from his waist and is incontinent.
In this prison, there is no one who specially serves him for this. Therefore, this villain can only barely survive in a cell full of his own feces.
But today, I don't know what happened, suddenly a number of jailers came, with buckets and brooms, and began to clean his room, and also wiped his body hastily, and changed his energetic clothes.
I'm going to ask if I'm going to be killed?
"I said, my lords, can I eat meat before I die? "At this point, this villain has taken life and death lightly, and even has a bit of a desire for death.
If that day, he could hold back his curiosity and not run to the place where the crime was committed to listen to what the people who handled the case said about him, he would not be the end now; if he could run away without looking back that day, and not fight with that Prince Yanfeng, he would not be the end now; if that day, he could be directly poked to death by that little girl, no matter where he poked, he would not be this fate now......
If this continues, it will be endless. Regret can't solve the problem, and now only death can free this villain.
The jailers quickly cleaned up the cell, no one took his stubble, and before leaving, they lit an incense to hide the smell.
Then the jailers moved in another chair, and a man who looked a little like the prince of Yanfeng walked in and sat on this chair, and at the same time, two people stood behind him, but the faces of both men were hidden in the shadows of the torches, and they could not be seen clearly.
"You're the father of the prince who caught me, aren't you?" the villain speculated.
"No, I'm his brother. Zhao Hongwei, who was sitting in the chair, said lightly.
"I mean, you're young enough. The villain rubbed his nose with his cuffs, "Are you his brother?"
"It doesn't matter to you. Zhao Hongwei didn't answer this guy's question, he didn't come here today to chat, he came to interrogate.
"Coming to interrogate?" This villain is not afraid of death, is he still afraid of Prince Yanfeng?
"Who instructed you to kill someone?" Zhao Hongwei asked directly.
"Haven't the criminals already interrogated a few days ago?" the villain rolled his eyes, "Why, you still can't trust your own dogs." ”
Seeing that this guy didn't want to cooperate at all, Zhao Hongwei didn't talk nonsense, beckoned to the back, and a jailer came in with a rope sleeve.
When the jailer came in, without saying a word, he kicked the gangster over with his foot, and then put a rope around his neck, and tightened it with a "bang".
"Say no!" the jailer asked. Of course, a man cannot speak when his neck is strangled, but the jailer did not intend for him to answer immediately, but strangled him to the point of dying, and then put the noose away.
"Do you want to say that?" asked the jailer after waiting for the villain to catch his breath.
"Yes, you have the ability to strangle you......" Seeing that the villain did not mean to answer, the jailer tightened the noose in his hand again.
"Say it or not!"
"Capable ......"
"Say it or not!"
"There is ......"
"Say!"
“......”
After going back and forth like this for a few times, this villain also walked several times at the moment of life and death, and in the end, he was incontinent together, and the whole cell was suddenly filled with the stench that incense could not suppress.
"Alright, let's go down. It was only at this time that Zhao Hongwei stopped the jailer.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" The gangster who was panting for breath choked on the smell of his own feces and coughed, but he was still very hard-mouthed.
"What are you doing, Your Royal Highness, extorting a confession, you have the ability, kill me!!" As he spoke, the gangster became excited.
"You know, the way the jailer strangled you just now is their ancestor. Zhao Zongwei said unhurriedly: "It can just right to strangle people to the point of dying, and experience the extremely uncomfortable feeling." ”
"Today I told him that I will give him a hundred taels of silver every time I almost strangle you, but if I really strangle you, their whole family will be buried with you. Zhao Hongwei continued: "Don't you want to die? I want to see if this jailer can earn glory and wealth from you, or if their whole family will die with you." ”
The meaning of Zhao Hongwei's words is very clear, that is, tell him, if you don't say it, I won't kill you, but I will keep letting people torture you.
The central idea is, answer the questions well, and you still have a chance to die.
Zhao Hongwei looked at the gangster silently for a moment, and then asked again, "Who instructed you to kill?"
This villain was like a frost hitting an eggplant, completely wilted, and finally stopped talking nonsense, but answered honestly.
"It's Gu Nan, the third girl of the Gu family, Gu Shangshu, Gu De, and the Gu family, who she instructed me to kill. ”
"Why?" Zhao Hongwei asked after glancing back at one of the people standing behind him.
"Because," replied the villain, "because she doesn't want the wedding of the eldest prince to be held as scheduled." ”
