Yuan Wu asked people to pass Ji Yanning's words to Rong Che.

Pearl then walked into Ji Yanning's room with clear soup.

Ji Yanning had a bad appetite, so after taking two sips, he felt that there was no hunger in his stomach, but he didn't want to touch it again.

In fact, they don't have to pay attention to this case, after all, it really has nothing to do with them, but Ji Yanning felt somewhat pitiful when he thought that the dozen or so women had been peeled and made into lanterns.

What's more, since there is induction, it doesn't hurt to help them find out the truth.

It's just that now it seems that this Yao Yun is not so simple, and he can even escape from the prison of the prefect's yamen.

If he lets him run away, I don't know which innocent weak woman he will attack again in the future!

"Miss. Pearl walked into Ji Yanning's room from the outside, she still held a lantern in her hand, and happily walked in front of Ji Yanning, "Miss, just now the little guy in the store said that someone handed over this lantern to Miss." ”

Ji Yanning raised his eyes and looked over, it was the kind of six-sided lantern they had seen between them!

And the lantern was broken with a corner, which was obviously the lantern that Zhao Gui had in his hand at the beginning.

Ji Yanning's eyes widened, he looked at the pearl, gritted his teeth and asked, "Who sent it?"

Pearl shook her head and said, "I don't know, the little guy said it was a man, but the man left after sending the things over." Seeing that this lantern was not a dangerous thing, the little servant sent it to the slave maid. ”

Ji Yanning's eyes were gloomy.

Seeing Ji Yanning's bad look, Pearl was puzzled, she also saw that the eldest lady seemed to like this lantern very much, even if she knew that it cost five thousand taels of silver, she felt that it was worth it.

But now that someone has sent this lantern over, why is the eldest lady's face so gloomy?

"If the eldest lady doesn't like it, the slave maid will take it out and throw it away. Pearl said as she turned the lantern out of the way.

Ji Yanning said: "Pearl, don't you see what this lantern is made of?"

When Pearl heard Ji Yanning's words, she frowned slightly in some confusion, and then looked down at the lantern in her hand carefully.

This lantern is different from other lanterns, it is more beautiful than other lanterns, whether it is the selection of materials or carving of this sandalwood, it is a good material, this paper...... It doesn't seem to be the same as any other piece of paper.

Pearl reached out and touched the "paper" on the lantern, feeling a little delicate, not like the ordinary paper she had ever seen.

This feeling...... It's like a piece of skin.

"Ahh

Pearl's screams drew several of the guards.

Jinhe stepped forward to look at Pearl's panicked appearance and asked, "What's wrong?"

Pearl came back to her senses, relieved herself, swallowed her saliva, pointed to the lantern on the ground and said, "Human skin lantern." ”

Jinhe was slightly stunned, then picked up the lantern and looked at it carefully, if he didn't say it, others really couldn't easily see that this was a human skin lantern.

But Ji Yanning and Pearl are both healers, so they can naturally recognize them easily.

Jinhe raised his eyes and looked at Pearl: "Where did this lantern come from?"

How Pearl replied.

Ji Yanning said: "This lantern belongs to Yao Ji, and the women who died in the Zhuangzi were probably skinned and used to make lanterns." ”

Hearing Ji Yanning's words, a chill rose in Pearl's heart.

Although she had seen a lot of dead people, she couldn't imagine the scene of peeling off the human skin, and she felt her body tremble a little when she thought about it.

Jinhe said: "My subordinates went to find the prince." ”

As he spoke, he took the human skin lantern and walked out.

Pearl was just a little scared at the beginning, but now that she came back to her senses, she calmed down and slowly walked to Ji Yanning's side.

She said with a guilty face: "I'm sorry Miss, it's all because the slave maid brought something like that." ”

Ji Yanning shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just a personal leather lantern." ”

Pearl looked at Ji Yanning and asked, "Miss, you already knew?"

Ji Yanning shook his head and said, "At first, it was just a guess. ”

"Who the hell would do such a thing? Pearl said with some indignation.

She still remembered that the bones in the Zhuangzi were all fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls, who were so vicious at an age like flowers, which was really cruel.

Ji Yanning said: "The prince should find out." ”

Pearl heard the eldest lady say this, and she didn't want to say anything, suppressed the uncomfortable feeling in her heart, and just sighed lightly.

Rong Che was standing in the gloomy dungeon, looking at those who were being held in the prison, his eyes were extremely gloomy.

He still had the human skin lantern in his hand that the guard had just sent, and looked at these people.

These people in prison are all subordinates of Yao Ji Zhuangzi.

didn't tell the truth all at the beginning, so Rong Che's face was also not good-looking.

The prefect Cai Meng stood beside Rong Che and kept his head down.

"Your Highness, it's useless to be a lower official, so I still let Yao Yun escape. When Cai Meng said this, he was full of remorse.

Rong Che glanced at him with his spare eyes and said, "It's very useless." ”

Cai Meng said again: "Xia Guan doesn't know that this Yao Yun is so evil, there are so many female corpses hidden in Zhuangzi, and the woman is skinned and made into a human skin lantern, which is really shocking." The lower officials will definitely not let go of such an evil person, and they have already made people martial law in the city. ”

Rong Che handed the lantern to Cai Meng, and then said to Qiu Li, "You go to trial." ”

Qiu Lili replied yes, and then asked three of them to be brought out.

Cai Meng said on the side: "Lord Wang, these people are very hard-mouthed, they can't ask anything, they all say that Yao Yun did it alone. ”

Rong Che hummed softly and did not answer Cai Meng's words.

Seeing Rong Che's cold appearance, Cai Meng didn't say anything more.

After all, before he found those bones, he had spoken for Yao Yun, and if he made King Xuan unhappy now, maybe he would count Yao Yun's escape from prison as an accomplice, and he would really be at a loss for words at that time.

Cai Meng's eyes looked at Qiu Li, he had already asked the three of them to be escorted out.

Qiu Carp said: "Ask, just answer well, you only need to answer yes and no, if you don't answer, answer wrong, or answer differently from someone else's answer, just chop off a finger." ”

The three of them looked at each other, and when they heard Qiu Li's words, they all began to struggle.

One of them said angrily: "You are a trick to beat! We have already said what we know!"

Qiu Li's eyes were cold, and he said, "I didn't ask you to admit what you didn't do, how can you call it a trick?"

The three of them were pulled out of their hands and their fingers separated.

Qiu Li said: "But you have to answer the question well, if you answer too slowly, you will also be chopped off." But that's okay, don't you still have ten fingers?"

The three of them were all cold in their hearts.

"Do you all know who killed the women in the well?" asked Qiu Li.

"I don't know!"

"It's Yao Yun!"

“......”

Seeing that two of them had two different answers, and one hadn't thought about how to answer, Qiu Li's eyes moved slightly, and he said indifferently: "Do it." ”

The guards directly used daggers to cut off the fingers of the three people.

"Ahh

A scream of pain was immediately remembered in the cell.

When Rong Che heard these screams, there was no expression on his face, as if it was a normal thing.

I didn't expect them to come to the real thing, and the three people complained bitterly, and they didn't dare not tell the truth in the next questioning.

After all, they didn't want all ten fingers to be cut off.

The interrogation went very smoothly, these people were Yao Yun's subordinates, and they also knew and participated in what Yao Yun did, abducting some beautiful women, and then peeling off their skins alive and making them into human skin lanterns.

The minimum value of a skin lantern is 5,000 taels of silver, and although the price is high, there are actually many people who buy it.

Some people know that it is made of beautiful skin, and they want to buy it with a lot of money.

But Yao Yun is a foreigner, these subordinates were all found by Yao Yun from different places, and most of them used to be bandits, so no one was afraid to kill people or expose Yao Yun's crimes.

After all, there is a matter of money, how can they let themselves be cut off from their financial routes.

But none of these people knew Yao Yun's true identity, they only knew that they couldn't tell these things, so they could only bite to death.

I didn't expect King Xuan's people to be so ruthless, and the interrogation was directly to chop off his fingers.

Hearing these people's words, Rong Che didn't have any expression.

Ji Yanning sent a message before, asking him to catch the shopkeeper of the lantern shop, when he sent someone over, I don't know if the shopkeeper knew the news in advance, and he had already run away.

Rong Che's eyes looked at Cai Meng, glanced at the lantern in Cai Meng's hand, and said, "Yao Yun can't catch it, and you, the prefect, have done it." ”

Cai Meng's body jumped suddenly, sneered, and said, "Don't worry, the lower officials still know the severity." ”

There was a chill in his back, and he smiled ugly.

Seeing Cai Meng's appearance, Rong Che narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "There is also the shopkeeper of Yao Ji's lantern shop, don't let him run away." ”

Cai Meng nodded again and again.

Rong Che was about to leave, when he suddenly thought of something, paused, and said to Cai Meng: "Find out the identities of those women and send some silver to your family." ”

Cai Meng nodded, with a straight face, and said: "Xiaguan will deal with it, please rest assured, how can you say that Xiaguan is also the parent official of Liangzhou City, if such a thing happens, Xiaguan feels more sad than anyone else, and he will definitely appease them well." ”

Rong Che frowned silently when he heard Cai Meng's words.

Because in the dark, I couldn't see Rong Che's true expression clearly, but I heard him hum coldly, and then left the dark cell.
