To the surprise of the assassins. He was not treated inhumanely like the rest of his companions. Instead, he was locked up in a confinement cell. In addition to wearing heavy shackles on his hands and feet. There was no torture. And after a while. Someone else brought him a few rice balls and a piece of 'meat'.

Warning over a toss. The Assassins were already hungry. Physical and mental exhaustion. I didn't hesitate to see that there was rice and meat. Pick it up and eat it. Didn't even think about whether the meal was poisonous or not. Anyway, he already has the heart to die. It's good to be poisonous.

'Meng' Yi, who observed the assassin's behavior through the secret hole, frowned. asked Chen Sheng quietly: "Is your method okay. What if this assassin is full of food and has the strength to kill himself?"

Chen Sheng smiled faintly. said: "Death is not a fun thing. When in the hunting grounds. The Assassin was indeed a man of death. I want to die with me. But actually. The process of experiencing death is not fun. After having it once. It's hard to have such courage again. Since the Assassin could sense that he was hungry. Naturally, it is a little more yuang for survival. All right. Let's go down. It's time to interrogate him."

"Bang bang". The iron 'door' of the confinement chamber opens. Two 'squires' approached. Dragged the Assassin to a strangely shaped chair. Sit him down. And then locked him and the chair together.

'Meng' Yi and Chen Sheng strode forward. He was followed by a clerk. and

The Assassin was separated by a table. The two also sat down in chairs. The clerk on the side frowned. The interrogation place arranged by Lord Chen Sheng in this way. It's really against the bureaucracy. The prisoner was able to sit opposite the Imperial Court Lieutenant and the Imperial Historian. It's really a loss of face for the court.

'Meng' Yi didn't have that idea. Instead, I feel more comfortable.

He glanced at Chen Sheng. Motioned for Chen Sheng to open his mouth for interrogation. Although in the order of the emperor. He is the presiding judge on the matter. But with the interrogation procedure. Chen Sheng took the initiative to ask for help. Willing to take charge of the entire interrogation.' Meng's Yi is also happy to be idle. Let Chen Sheng toss. I watched the excitement on the sidelines.

The bag on the Assassin's head has been removed. Chen Sheng looked at the unkempt face opposite. A man with a bit of 'confusion' and fierceness in his eyes. A faint smile. Don't talk yet. Pick up the water bladder instead. Take a sip. In a relaxed 'tone', he said, "Judging by your face. I guess I'm in my early thirties. At this age. There must also be parents in the family. Wife and children."

Hear Chen Sheng mention his family. The assassin's pupils constricted. But the 'color' of the face is the same. Clam up. But this subtle expression could not escape Chen Sheng's eyes. Chen Sheng said flatly: "I know what you're thinking. How dare you assassinate the Emperor? You know that you have put your life and death on the line. I ask you more. You'll be silent forever. Or something that 'provokes' me. It's better to die early. Right?"

The Assassin's lips twitched. Stared at Chen Sheng for a look. After a while, he said, "Now that you know everything. Why don't you kill me?"

Listen to the Assassins. Chen Sheng was secretly happy in his heart. On the surface, it is not 'wavering'. said indifferently: "Because I think you are more pleasing to the eye." Chen Sheng said: "You should be clear. You're not alone. But you also know. Up to now. You are the only one who has not been tortured. It's better to live than to die." Chen Sheng paused. said: "You also know. You're just like those out there. It doesn't deserve extrajudicial favors. It's just that I see you pleasing to the eye. I just want to give you a chance to live. Of course. If you don't take this opportunity. Your companion might take this opportunity away." Chen Sheng had a confident smile on his face. The tone became 'gloomy': "As an assassin. You know better than I do. Death. It's never been the scariest thing."

The Assassin snorted. Ignore Chen Sheng. Apparently the mind has been decided.

Chen Sheng said indifferently: "There are a total of four of you who have fallen into my hands alive. Other words. I'm not putting all my hope in you. So you're not as important as you think. I have an Emperor's pardon in my hand. The amnesty decree stipulates. Who will be able to confess first. and be pardoned." Chen Sheng's tone was very sincere: "Among all the captured people. I think. You're the one who needs it the most." When Chen Sheng said this. He placed a sachet in the palm of his hand on the desk. Shove in front of the Assassin.

See this sachet. The Assassin's face changed dramatically. If you struggle, you have to get up. But the shackles on his body were attached to the chair. How can you break free. was pressed hard by the two 'squires' behind him. It is a gift that cannot be moved.

"There are three kinds of vanilla in the sachet. They are all specialties of the Yunmengze area. And the material of the sachet. It is only produced by a certain village where Yunmengze once weaved silk for the Chu royal family. This sachet. Only the weavers in that area can weave. It is a talisman given by a girl to her lover and a wife to her husband. I think. this thing. You can't tell me. I guess I picked it up or bought it." This sachet. It was accidentally found from the Assassins. With a meticulous 'spirit'. Immediately bring it back to the Blackwater Pavilion. Let it find content that's relevant to it. It turned out to be an unexpected surprise. In this way. Chen Sheng decided to use this sachet as a breakthrough. Defeat the Assassin's psychological defenses.

"Hmph." The assassin was sweating profusely behind his back. But he still has a hard mouth.

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you don't say it. But according to the clues of this sachet. It's enough to decide that you're related to the guy named 'Flower'. Because of your great rebellion. Assassinate the Emperor. They will all pay the price for your deeds: all men over the age of sixteen. Cut in half. Persons under the age of 16 and over the age of thirteen. Degraded as slaves. generations of slavery; And the 'female' Ding was sent to the Guanfang Qinglou. Generations of prostitutes. Such a price. Are you satisfied?"

The assassin looked at Chen Sheng fiercely. The eyes are in a state of fire. Gritted his teeth, he said, "Just kill me. Why kill innocent people?"

Chen Sheng smiled coldly. The tone was still flat: "What are you staring at me for. You are the one who harmed these people!" Chen Sheng said to the two 'squires' behind the assassin, "This man is worthless. Take it to the prison. Punishment awaits. But don't 'get it' to death. The criminals in the 'flower' dock were not escorted to Xianyang before they were executed. Don't let this fight die. Bring the next one in. I'd like to see. There are a few people who are so hard-hearted. Even wife and children, parents. I don't want the lives of my relatives and people." Speaking of which. Chen Sheng's tone already carried a chilling killing intent.

"Dog officer. You don't want to die......" The assassin's eyes 'desire' split. He couldn't help cursing Chen Sheng loudly. Also a mouthful of thick phlegm. Spit towards Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng turned sideways to avoid thick phlegm. The face is cold. Calmly said, "If the curse can kill people. I've died a million times. In Fujian, in Lingnan. I don't know how many barbarians curse me day and night. It's not a one-and-two-cut paragraph. The blood is flowing like a river.. I've given you a way to live. Asking for your own death. How to blame me." Chen Sheng was calm. This situation also justified the Assassins.

See the Assassins are not honest. The two 'squires' in the back immediately greeted the assassin with a fat beating. before he unfastened the lock from the seat. Prepare to escort him out. Chen Sheng did not forget to instruct: "Bring that short man in. A lot of things were found from him. He shouldn't be so hard-mouthed. I don't want the lives of my relatives and my clansmen."

"Wait." The Assassin, who had been dragged almost outside the confinement room, heard this. On the contrary, some of them can't bear it. Got along with my companions for so long. Naturally clear about the family background of the companion. Heard the news of Chen Sheng's mention of his companions. Immediately I thought of someone's corresponding family background. The psychological defense line suddenly collapsed.

The Assassins were well aware. The reason why I insist on not revealing any secrets. That's to protect their loved ones from the persecution of the forces behind them. But this hateful-looking dog officer in front of him. But he already has information about his family. What you're doing doesn't make any sense anymore. And from the mouth of this dog officer. He also learned that . These clansmen fell into the hands of the imperial court. It's even more miserable than falling into an organization. Persistence since it is no longer useful. That would only be the only amnesty order of the imperial court. But even if you get an amnesty from the imperial court. Your own betrayal will also cause the organization to wipe out your own family. Obviously. Amnesty of the Imperial Court. Far from enough.

"If I say it. The court is willing to let me go. The forces behind me. I won't let my people go." The assassin turned his head. Said in despair.

"Then cooperate with us. Catch everyone behind you. Then you and your people are safe." Chen Sheng was unmoved. The tone is still flat as usual. He waved his hand. The two 'squires' behind him put the Assassin back in his place.

Chen Sheng and 'Meng' Yi glanced at each other. Seeing the smile on Meng' Yi's face. Chen Sheng couldn't help but smile reservedly. Then he turned to the assassin again and said, "Alright. Give me your name."

……

Palace.

In the Imperial Study. The emperor's face was 'gloomy'. Wei Yu has always been by his side. Listening to the Emperor's fury. In front of the ministers. He behaved very calmly. But my heart was already full of rage. There was someone so lawless and blatant to assassinate him. If you don't kill a batch hard. It's hard to appease his hatred.

Wei Yi's mood is also very heavy. The Emperor was furious. He felt that anyone could be the one who instructed him to assassinate him. Especially a couple of princes. It was also listed as a key target by the emperor. Let Wei Yu mobilize the power of the Black Water Pavilion to investigate. Wei Yi's heavy mood is even more because of this. This has been indicated. The emperor has been to the ministers of the court. Even 'Meng' Yi and Chen Sheng have a certain sense of distrust.

The emperor's suspicion of his courtiers.' Wei Yu, who is proficient in 'yin' and seeks to learn, is naturally clear. How much of a detrimental effect it will have on the imperial court. Wei Yu was deeply disturbed. But he could not comfort the Emperor at this time. Otherwise, the emperor's trust in himself will be greatly reduced.
