Chapter 43: Interrogation
Hearing the footsteps, the man and woman looked at them vigilantly.
The glittering tip of the knife made them whimper in fear.
The eldest princess of Yongping raised her chin, and the female officer walked over to remove the rag that stuffed the mouths of the two.
"Who are you?" The man hissed.
Princess Yongping walked over step by step with a knife and stared at the two of them condescendingly.
The two of them were tied hand and foot and retreated hard, looking at the eyes of the eldest princess of Yongping as if they had seen a ghost.
"Tell me how you kidnapped Yingyue." A faint sound rang out in the empty room.
The eldest princess of Yongping, who was dressed in plain clothes, was expressionless, as if she was a ghost.
The man shuddered and said, "What Yingyue, we don't know—ah—"
A scream rang out, and a bloody ear fell to the ground.
The man tried to cover his ears, but his hands and feet were tied, and he rolled on the ground in pain.
The eldest princess of Yongping looked at the woman with hollow and deep eyes, and the tip of the blood-stained knife pointed at her: "You say." ”
Two simple words, but the woman was terrified, and her face was blue and white: "I, I-"
What did she say, the wrong ear is about to fall off!
"Yongping!" A shout came.
Du Nian walked over quickly and grabbed her wrist holding the knife.
"Let go."
Du Nian didn't let go.
"I'll let you go!" The eldest princess of Yongping flipped her wrist to break free from the shackles of that hand, and the tip of the knife was aimed at her husband, "Du Nian, don't think that this palace won't hurt you." ”
Du Nian stretched out his hand and landed on the shoulder of the eldest princess of Yongping, took her over, and also took the long knife into his arms.
"Yongping, let me ask, you can't ask like this."
The eldest princess of Yongping held the blood-stained knife and trembled constantly, but there was no response.
Du Nian understood that she was acquiescing, and walked up to the woman.
"Who the hell are you?" The woman asked, her lips trembling.
Du Nian ignored the woman's question, stared at her and said slowly: "Three years ago, you kidnapped a little girl, and she told you that she was the county lord and asked you to let her go home. ”
The woman was stunned for a moment, and immediately denied it: "Our husband and wife have always been honest, how could they do such a unconscionable thing!" ”
Du Nian bent down and picked up the ear and put it in the woman's hand.
The woman screamed in horror and threw her ears out with her hand.
But she had blood on her hands, and she couldn't shake it off no matter what.
"The insider is in a hurry, and if he goes out again, he won't cut off an ear." In the empty room, the man who was as warm as jade spoke plainly, but the woman was frightened.
It turns out that the coldness and hardness honed in the face of those begging children cannot be turned into courage at this moment.
"You heard her say that the county lord was scared, so he killed people and killed people—" Du Nian burned all the daughters who were sealed in the wall.
His voice sounded calm: "If we hadn't found this, you wouldn't be here today." Now I just want to know how you kidnapped her back then. ”
When the woman heard Du Nian say this, she was completely out of luck.
Even the little girl knew what she said, these people were terrible!
"Say!" Du Nian shouted hoarsely.
When the world is a great Confucian, a gentleman is like a jade, how can others ever see Du Nian like this, even the eldest princess of Yongping looked at her husband with red eyes and was stunned.
Du Nian felt that he couldn't support it.
In the past three years, he has wondered countless times: How did he lose his daughter?
Thinking about it, it hurts into the bone marrow, but in front of his wife, he can only keep quiet.
Because he knows that who can hurt more than a mother when he loses a child?
As an unqualified father and husband, he is not qualified to reveal his pain.
The woman opened her mouth with a sigh of relief: "I went out that day to look for a suitable child, and soon found a particularly beautiful little girl wandering in the streets. I went over and asked her, and she said she was lost, so I took her back to Sesame Lane under the pretext of sending her home......"
Du Nian listened quietly and didn't believe a word: "You mean you met her near Sesame Lane?" ”
"I really saw it soon after I went out." The woman fell into the memory, "That little girl was born so well, I saw it at a glance. I thought it would sell for a good price, but I didn't expect her to say that she was the county lord-"
"Impossible!" Du Nian stared at the woman tightly, "She disappeared in Qingya Academy, Qingya Academy is located at the foot of Xiaoqing Mountain in Xicheng, how can she linger near Sesame Lane in Dongcheng?" ”
Feeling the danger, the woman hurriedly cried out: "The little woman really doesn't dare to lie, she did see it near home......"
Du Nian frowned, turned around and hugged the eldest princess of Yongping: "Since they don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin, then order someone to try it first." Let's go out and wait, and don't let them stain your eyes. ”
The eldest princess of Yongping remained motionless: "I'm going to watch." Someone—"
Soon several maids came in with long whips, whips, and other torture instruments.
The woman was shocked: "You are abusing lynching—"
The eldest princess of Yongping turned a deaf ear and looked at her fixedly.
Soon a scream rang out.
I don't know how long it took, the two of them were dying, and they kept repeating: "Xiaomin didn't lie, he really met in Dongcheng......"
The eldest princess of Yongping was on the verge of collapse and raised her knife to slash.
"Yongping, calm down!"
The eldest princess of Yongping looked at Du Nian fixedly: "Did you hear it, they still don't admit it." ”
"Yongping, you come out with me first, I have something to say to you." Du Nian grabbed her hand and pulled the person out.
Fresh air diluted the smell of blood that lingered on the nose.
Du Nian exhaled with difficulty, and became the introverted man in front of the eldest princess of Yongping.
No matter how hard it is, he must stand so that his wife will not fall.
His wife's hatred for him is not a kind of support.
He was willingly hated by her.
"Yongping, they are just ordinary people, they can't stand the torture, and they still say that after the torture, you should understand what it means."
The eldest princess of Yongping's eyes moved slightly.
When she led the troops out to the battle, she had personally interrogated the enemy and caught the enemy, so she naturally understood that the trained Xiaozuo was different from ordinary people.
The pair of black-hearted men and women did not hide it anymore.
But even if her daughter runs out of the academy for fun, it is impossible for her to run to Dongcheng.
This shows that someone deliberately let Ling'er enter the sight of the kidnapper, and when the kidnapper sold the person far away, Ling'er's disappearance was realized unknowingly.
"Yongping, Ling'er's disappearance...... It could be a conspiracy. Du Nian looked at his wife, who was as pale as paper, and said word for word.
After Ling'er lost his place in the academy, the students who came to him for teaching questions became silent because of self-blame, and his studies plummeted, and he later dropped out.
Now that I think about it, is it really because of self-blame?
"Yongping, let's go and investigate together, and we must find out the real culprit who killed Ling'er, okay?"
I don't know how long it took, but Princess Yongping nodded slightly.
Du Nian's eyes suddenly turned red.
