Chapter 216 - Never Available
It is said that few people who have entered Dali Temple can get out alive, let alone walk out of Dali Temple safely.
Qin Huai sat on the red wooden chair that he had moved in from outside, watching Mu Guanqing personally judge Duan Xiaolang on the first floor of Dali Temple.
There are three floors above the Dali Temple, and the number is down, outsiders don't know how many floors there are, but every step down, will be closer to the boundless hell.
Qin Huai never expected this scene, the entire floor leads to the outside, and there is only a skylight in the southwest direction, but this skylight is very high, and it is covered with a small net, and the light shining through the window is just imprinted on the top of Duan Xiaolang's head.
Today, Mu Guanqing was dressed in a crimson official uniform and exquisite makeup, sitting on the main seat. She was holding an eight-colored whip in her hand, tapping the bracelet from time to time, and a pair of good-looking eyes stared closely at Duan Xiaolang, who had already been fixed hand and foot.
In fact, looking at it this way, Duan Xiaolang is still handsome, even if he is tied up on the torture platform by the whole person, he is no better than other people who come to Dali Temple crying for his father and mother, he is very indifferent and calm.
"Duan Gongzi, Princess Pingle suspects that you are the mastermind of the murder of Wenren Yixiao Pavilion Yulan Jun Ruobai, if you can prove your innocence, then you can leave here. Otherwise, the torture instrument of Dali Temple, your body is afraid that you can't withstand it. ”
Mu Guanqing went step by step, how he tried the prisoners in the past, how to try Duan Xiaolang today, this should naturally have a reasonable beginning at the beginning.
"I haven't done anything like this, so what credentials does the princess have?"
Duan Xiaolang's feather crown of hair shone with a hint of white light in the faint sunlight, and when he turned his head slightly, that white light happened to cast on Qin Huai's face.
"I don't have credentials, only intuition."
Qin Huai had no other evidence in his hands, but many events showed that Duan Xiaolang and Shura were inseparable.
"Every time you show up with me and talk, if I reveal any information, it will always be intercepted by the Shuramen. And the wound on Ruobai's chest is the same as the wound left on the back of Pu Chenming's guard's hand when he was assassinated. And such weapons are extremely rare in our Tianyu, according to the case of Dali Temple, such weapons have only appeared three or four times, and the murderer has not been found last two times. ”
This was the first time Qin Huai had spoken to Duan Xiaolang with great certainty, and it was also the first time he felt Duan Xiaolang's careful listening.
"We have no suspicion that this is the work of the same person, and we have ruled out the records of the entry and exit of Wenren Yixiao, and we have found that you are the only ones who can have reason to contact him. The other people who heard the people in the cabinet have been found out for three generations, and only you are. ”
Long before the arrest, Mu Guanqing had already investigated all the record scrolls in the Wenren Smile Pavilion, although these little guys were the same as Hua Niang, most of them came from different undisclosing channels, but they could still find a basis for tracing back to the source, but Duan Xiaolang was different.
In some old records, it is indeed confirmed that a clan with a surname was indeed dismissed by the first emperor, and all the men were assigned as slaves, but Duan Xiaolang did not match the age of the men in their family.
"How can I say it, your identity is too clean, and you are not a sinner in the previous dynasty, even Zhu Qingchi can't tell where you came from. If you want to stay in the Pavilion of Laughter, isn't it more beneficial for you to have an innocent identity, so why do you need to replace the sinner? ”
Mu Guanqing's words were weighty enough, and in just a few words, he exposed his life experience and defrauded him, and also removed all the room for him to explain.
"We are also acquaintances, and I can't bear to use any of these torture instruments on you. It is better for you to tell the truth earlier, and the officer will consider reducing your sentence at his discretion. ”
Seeing that Duan Xiaolang didn't answer for a while, Mu Guanqing didn't have any superfluous expression on her face, and she wasn't surprised at all who this man was and what his purpose was.
It seems that no matter who he is, no matter what the purpose is, as long as he does something harmful to Tianyu, she will deal with everything according to the law.
This is also in line with her usual style, iron-faced and selfless, standing by and watching.
"Tell me, what is your relationship with the Shuramins, and did they coerce you? What kind of organization are you on? ”
Mu Guanqing's hand had already touched the torture tools on the iron shelf, and the appearance of those torture tools was extremely terrifying, each end was sharp, and some of them still had crimson blood stains left on them, so that Qin Huai couldn't bear to look at them closely.
"You are a woman, these utensils are too sharp and indifferent, most of them are angry, don't hurt yourself by mistake."
This sentence made Mu Guanqing's movements stagnate, and also made Qin Huai raise his eyes in surprise.
He didn't care about himself, he actually cared about whether Mu Guanqing would be injured by mistake?
To say that he doesn't like Mu Guanqing, how can it be.
Mu Guanqing shrugged his shoulders, tried to move his muscles, and finally gave him a chance.
"If you tell the truth now, you won't have to suffer with your hands. Of course, don't worry, I am more familiar with every torture instrument here than you, how much strength it will hurt, and how much you can endure it, I know it. ”
Picking and choosing, she took out three three-inch-long silver needles from the bed frame, the silver needles were quite clean, worthy of the feeling that Duan Xiaolang gave people. But if you look closely in the sun, the silver needle is actually uneven, and the sticking sides are thin pieces thinner than a hair.
Under normal circumstances, Mu Guanqing would show the chosen torture instrument to the person who needed to be tortured, after all, fear can make a person speak the truth as soon as possible.
But she omitted this step this time, really because she had already felt it, and the blazing gaze of the people around her had never taken away from her at all.
Duan Xiaolang admired the way she looked when she chose the torture instrument, and he didn't know what headdress she was choosing, but he was so careful, it seemed that he deliberately skipped over those big guys, and understood his weak-looking body.
"It's the first time I've seen you like this, and I always thought that your hands wouldn't be contaminated with these except for playing the piano and playing chess."
At this time, do you still have the heart to gossip?
There are only three of them in this place, Mingyue Caixia is not allowed to enter here, Qin Huai is sitting in the corner alone, the sound of the water flowing from the ground alone is terrifying enough, she doesn't want to see Duan Xiaolang tortured.
"Then you are wrong, my hands will still condemn life and death, and take people's lives."
As soon as the words fell, the three-inch needle had already pierced into Duan Xiaolang's arm, Qin Huai didn't dare to look at it, just listened to the sound.
Duan Xiaolang didn't make any sound, as if the person who was tortured was not him.
"You have been exposed, how can a normal person not shout out, especially like you."
The three silver needles had already penetrated into his body, and he didn't even frown, which made Mu Guanqing quickly come to a conclusion.
"Are we like this? Am I no different from those little girls who can only flatter in the hearts of female officials? ”
Does it matter?
Shouldn't we now think about how to save our lives? Why bother pursuing these things that don't matter at all!
Qin Huai felt worried at this moment, it was obviously an interrogation, but Duan Xiaolang actually enjoyed the time with Mu Guanqing very much.
"You're different from everyone else now."
"I have been in Tianyu for so long, no matter how cold my heart is, there will be a day when I will regain my warmth. Especially, I met you. It's just that I didn't expect that you also have a cold heart. ”
This sudden sentence made Qin Huai unable to guess, was he admitting his identity?
"I've long heard that the Shura Gate has the deepest chess piece buried in Kyoto, it turns out that this chess piece is hidden in the Wenren Smile Pavilion, I think it's you!"
Mu Guanqing reacted extremely quickly, and a smile even appeared on the corner of her mouth.
How could it be him?
What can a Duan Xiaolang do?
In any case, Qin Huai can be regarded as having known him for many years, even if he doesn't understand it, he has watched him gradually gain a foothold in the Wenren Smile Pavilion, how can such a person be associated with that murderous Shura Sect?
"I don't believe it!"
Qin Huai stood up suddenly, and regardless of whether it was reasonable or not, he walked directly to Duan Xiaolang and looked at him.
"You're really a Shuramon man!"
This sentence is no longer a question sentence, because Qin Huai has ruled out his suspicion early on, even if he called him this time, he just felt that he was being used.
"I'm sorry, princess, but I lied to you. I've been using you for so many years. ”
The clothes on his hands and arms were already stained red, but he didn't care, and he didn't even notice the pain.
Qin Huai looked at him blankly, looking at this pair of eyes that he had never dared to stare at, and suddenly Duan Xiaolang's eyes changed, confirming what he said.
This gaze, she's seen before.
At the wedding banquet of the three emperor brothers, the one who almost took her life.
"You were the one who wanted to assassinate you in the Three Emperor Brothers' Mansion in the first place! That time you had a chance, why didn't you kill me? ”
This question had bothered Qin Huai for a long time, and she almost forgot about it, but this look reminded her again.
At the beginning, the sword of the man in black was not more than a fraction away from her, but in that instant, he withdrew it.
With a full body of anticipation, Qin Huai waited for this answer, even if Duan Xiaolang said that he couldn't bear it in his heart, and he didn't want a woman who had poured out his heart and lungs for him to die under his sword.
Unfortunately, he didn't.
"If the princess dies, the lady will be sad."
Qin Huai always thought that he was cold-blooded and ruthless, but he didn't expect him to be affectionate, it was really ridiculous.
"So, the person you like has always been her?"
Qin Huaiyang pointed to Mu Guanqing beside him, seeking confirmation for the matter in his heart.
Mu Guanqing was indifferent, she did not reprimand Qin Huai for interfering in the case, but connived at all Qin Huai's unreasonable demands, even such rude behavior.
"Yes, at first, I just admired the talent of the female officer, but later, I unconsciously liked it."
It's no wonder......
"No wonder you and I don't give face every time you invite you, but you visit Mu Mansion three times and twice."
In fact, by this time, the overall situation had been decided, and Qin Huai no longer cared.
"I have come to the door many times, not because I want to intercede for them, but just to see the female officials. In fact, the door also asked to assassinate you many times, and I delayed it again and again, and I was extra careful in arranging manpower, lest I accidentally hurt you......"
It turns out that Duan Xiaolang will also have times when he is so gentle that he wants to overflow water, it turns out that Duan Xiaolang will also have times when he can't ask for it, and it turns out that Duan Xiaolang will also have a different side from ordinary people.
"But I don't want to tolerate the fact that you and Pu Chen are married, so I disobey the sect's orders and attack him. It's just that there are many masters around him, and if he doesn't stop, I'm afraid it will be impossible to escape. ”
When he said this, he didn't care too much, but said everything he wanted to say, and told all the secrets buried in his heart to the people he cared about the most.
Everything seems to have been planned by him, just waiting for this moment......
"In that case, your target should only be someone in the royal family, if Bai has no grievances with you, could it be that he knows your identity?"
There is only one sober person, and that is Mu Guanqing herself, love is an extravagant hope for her, but of course she doesn't care.
"I am indeed responsible for Ruobai's death, he heard my conversation with Jiang Hu, and learned that Jiang Hu was going to do something in the royal palace. And this time the Royal Palace is Jiang Hu's private action and desperate bets, and I can't stop it. ”
No wonder he didn't show up in the Royal Annex, that's because Jiang Hu's plan was not approved by the door at all, no wonder it would be so unlike the style of the Shura Gate, reckless but useful.
After Qin Huai finished asking the question she wanted to ask, now it was Mu Guanqing's turn, she glanced at Duan Xiaolang's hair crown, raised her eyebrows and said, "If you do it just like this, neither of us is your opponent, even if you want me to torture you?" ”
"If I do it right now, the organs of this Dali Temple will definitely shoot me into a sieve. Besides, I have never told you a lie, and if I had killed you, I would not have come here. If you don't do it, I'm afraid I'll continue to lie to myself. ”
Yes, he is strong in martial arts, and Wei Qin also bluntly said that he is a first-class master, and if he wants to resist, he will not be able to bring him to Dali Temple.
"If I can, I really hope that I can be an ordinary person in my next life and meet you again."
"You still don't know me, I never look at ordinary people more." Mu Guanqing resolutely stopped his terrible thought.
Qin Huai didn't want to listen to it anymore, Mu Guanqing knew what to do about the rest, but there was a problem, she promised Duan Xiaolang.
"I promised you before, after this incident, I will meet your request, and now you still have this opportunity."
Before asking, Qin Huai had already thought about it, even if he wanted to retreat with his whole body, Qin Huai would try his best to help him.
"There will only be more people who will be unfavorable to female officials in the future, and I hope the princess will protect her well."
That's it?
It seems that he is bent on death.
Qin Huai stepped out of Dali Temple, drove back to his house with a breath of resentment in his chest, and only the two of them were left in Dali Temple.
"Someone wants to meet you."
Mu Guanqing put down the tools in his hand and returned to the table, a stone door on the left side opened, and a woman in purple with an excellent figure walked out.
Just at this glance, Duan Xiaolang recognized her.
"Huh?"
The woman shook one step at a time, carrying a pair of conspicuous scarlet daggers behind her back.
"Long time no see, Duan Lu."
It's been a long time since anyone mentioned it.
