Chapter 132: Coerced Confession
It has been more than a month since Bai Shuqin left, and every time Zhuo Jinxuan wakes up, he feels that she is by his side, as long as he turns his head, he can see her smiling and bending her eyes, and her fingers tapping the tip of his nose, "I'm here!" ”
There was still the smell of Bai Shuqin in the room, and he didn't allow others to touch everything, just to keep Bai Shuqin as he was there.
Zhuo Jinxuan picked up Bai Shuqin's pillow and buried his face deep in it, just to feel her residual breath.
However, Bai Shuqin had indeed left him, leaving him with endless sorrow.
The sun shone in through the window, and the birds outside began to chirp, calling Zhuo Jinxuan out of his sadness. He put down Bai Shuqin's pillow and got up to put on his clothes.
He ordered Qingfeng and Du Zijun to investigate the matter of salt, but Du Zijun kidnapped Sun Changsheng directly. The people were not brought to the Three Princes' Mansion and tied up in the Bohe Hall.
When Zhuo Jinxuan passed, Sun Changsheng was tied to the beams and pillars of the room, and there were no scars on his body, but his lips were a little chapped.
When Sun Changsheng saw Zhuo Jinxuan and the three of them coming in, he shouted, "Do you know who my second uncle is?" It's against the law for you to do so, I tell you! ”
Du Zijun got angry when he heard what he said, and said directly: "I don't care if he is illegal or not, if you don't say anything about who asked you to put something in salt today, I will lock you up here for the rest of your life." ”
When it came to the matter of salt, Sun Changsheng's eyes were obviously a little evasive, and he pretended not to understand, "What you said, I don't know." How much do you need to let me go, I'll give! ”
"Big brother, let's not talk nonsense with him, I don't think he will say anything if I don't give him something powerful." Du Zijun was too lazy to talk nonsense with Sun Changsheng, and turned his head to ask Zhuo Jinxuan.
Zhuo Jinxuan sat down on the chair opposite Sun Changsheng, Qingfeng poured him a cup of tea, and he sighed lightly, "I'll leave everything to you, I'll take care of what happens." ”
With Zhuo Jinxuan's words, Du Zijun suddenly had confidence. He looked at Sun Changsheng's eyes, rolled his eyes, and dropped a sentence, "I'll go get something and come over." And he ran out of the house.
Zhuo Jinxuan looked at Du Zijun's back outside the door, thinking that he was going to get some torture instruments.
The trick of extorting confessions by torture is indeed a trouble-saving idea for people like Sun Changsheng. Under the extreme pain, the benefits that Sun Changsheng received from others were nothing, and he would definitely confess the people behind his back.
Du Zijun had been gone for a while, and Zhuo Jinxuan motioned for Qingfeng to go out and see what was going on. Qingfeng walked to the door and saw Du Zijun carrying a bamboo basket with a lid in each hand, running towards him in a hurry.
"What did you take?" Aomine looked at the two baskets, and there were bursts of frog cries inside.
Du Zijun was mysterious, "This is a good thing, let's Baohetang has this left, wait for that Sun Changsheng to eat a pot!" ”
Sun Changsheng originally thought that Du Zijun was going to get some kind of murder weapon such as a knife and dagger, and he was nervous to death. However, Du Zijun carried two bamboo baskets, and Sun Changsheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Du Zijun strode towards Sun Changsheng and asked him with a straight face, "Sun Changsheng, let me ask you one last time, who gave you the things that were poured into the salt?" ”
"I don't know! There is really no problem with the salt in the restaurant, otherwise why would no one eat it! Sun Changsheng still tried to quibble.
"Looks like you're a dead duck with a hard mouth!" Du Zijun stopped talking nonsense with him, squatted down, lifted the lid of the bamboo basket on the right, and took out a toad the size of an adult man's fist.
He stood up, pulled Sun Changsheng's neckline with a sinister smile, put the toad on top of the neckline, and said something in his mouth, "If you're lucky, this is the fattest." ”
The toad fell into Sun Changsheng's neckline, and the cold and wet feeling made Sun Changsheng nauseous. However, the toad just looks terrifying, after all, the teeth can't bite and the hands can't scratch, Sun Changsheng feels disgusting but is not afraid of it.
Du Zijun ripped off Sun Changsheng's belt, tied his two trousers tightly, and took out a thumb-thick krait snake from the basket again.
Seeing the krait snake spitting letters, Sun Changsheng's face turned pale in an instant. This krait is a famous venomous snake, and it is said that those who are bitten by it will ulcerate all over their bodies and live no more than three days.
The golden snake hovered around Du Zijun's wrist, his head was high against Sun Changsheng, and the red snake hyacinth made a slight sound, as if it would make a noise to bite him in the next second.
"It's not nice to have a toad on you, isn't it?" Du Zijun looked concerned, and continued to tear his collar open, and the snake saw that there was a hole and got into it.
The cold touch made Sun Changsheng keep twisting his body, and begged Du Zijun with a sad face: "Uncle, please, take it out quickly!" ”
Du Zijun pressed Sun Changsheng's collar and asked again, "Who told you to put that thing in the salt?" ”
Sun Changsheng still didn't say anything, the snake crawled down his body, he obviously felt the snake's letter spit on his lower abdomen, he was scared into a cold sweat, and wanted to struggle, but Du Zijun said again, "Don't move, this snake is not a human, be careful of accidentally hurting you!" ”
"Uncle, I beg you, save me, I'll give you money!" Sun Changsheng's tears came out.
Du Zijun shrugged, squatted down again, and found a palm-sized black spider from the basket, "Then let us Xiao Hei save you." He suddenly remembered something, flipped up from the basket again, took out a centipede, which was also the size of a palm, and smiled with satisfaction, "That's enough." ”
To say that Sun Changsheng only had a white face at first, and when he saw these two things, he was almost frightened and fainted.
Zhuo Jinxuan watched silently from the side, this Du Zijun used the five poisons as torture tools, but it was a bit like a person brought out by Bai Shuqin, who did not play cards according to common sense.
"Now do you remember who told you to put it?" Du Zijun put the spider and centipede with teeth and claws in front of Sun Changsheng, just waiting for him to answer.
At this moment, the krait, which was originally just crawling in Sun Changsheng's body, bit on his thigh as if frightened, and the pain made him cry out loudly, "Help!" ”
Du Zijun was disturbed by his shouting, and glanced at him with disgust, "Finally, I will ask you again, who asked you to put the contents of the salt?" Don't say it, let Xiao Hei and Xiao Wu save you! ”
The spider's claws touched Sun Changsheng's chin, and his snot flowed out in fright. In the face of life, what does money count? He cried and said to Du Zijun: "Yes, it's the people of Baifu, it's what they gave me." Leave me alone, I'll tell you everything! ”
After getting the news he wanted, Du Zijun immediately put the spider and centipede back into the basket, and quickly untied Sun Changsheng's trouser legs, and took out the toad and krait from it.
Although Zhuo Jinxuan had already expected that it was Bai Fu's doing, he was still shocked when he really heard it. No matter what Bai Shuqin said, he was also Bai Shao'an's flesh and blood, how could they be so ruthless.
"Who's from the White Mansion?" Zhuo Jinxuan asked.
Sun Changsheng, who was loosely tied, curled up on the ground and hugged his thighs, his voice trembling, "Zhang Baocai from Baifu, he gave me something." I didn't lie to you, help me. ”
Zhuo Jinxuan, the name Zhang Baocai, had never heard of it, and he said to Qingfeng: "You go and bring Zhang Baocai over and let them confront each other face to face." ”
"Yes!" Aomine lifted his sword and turned to leave.
Sun Changsheng was still rolling on the ground in pain, and Du Zijun kicked him, "The snake venom will attack in three days, you are howling now!" Wait, if you find out that what you said is false, go and ask the king of Hades for the antidote! ”
After he said this, Sun Changsheng really felt that the pain in his leg was just an ordinary pain, and he reacted too strongly because of the fright.
But after all, it was a poisonous snake, and he was still afraid that his life would be in danger, so he repeatedly assured Du Zijun, "What I said is true, it is Zhang Baocai from Baifu." He said that it was just a condiment to enhance the flavor, and I dared to use it if it was harmless. ”
Du Zijun covered the basket, and he didn't listen to what Sun Changsheng said at all.
Sun Changsheng was still worried about the snake venom on his body, but Zhuo Jinxuan next to him had already seen through it, and the snake was not poisonous at all. The venomous snake will attack within a day at the slowest at the earliest, and the poison that will attack after three days is afraid that it does not exist in this world.
The gloom on his brow did not dissipate because he knew who was drugged. Although the medicine was not under Bai Bingbing, she took them to that place, and it was difficult to say that she was completely unaware of Bai Shuqin's miscarriage.
Bai Shuqin woke up naturally from a sleep, and when she opened her eyes, she was the only one left on the bed. She tilted her head to the side and saw that the other dancers had finished their make-up.
It was still very cold outside in the early morning, so in addition to yesterday's light clothes, the maids gave each of them a white fox fur cape.
Yanran saw that Bai Shuqin was awake, so she walked to the side of the bed and said to her, "You finally woke up, hurry up and change your clothes!" ”
It's said to be a change of clothes, but it's just a cloak on. Because they were afraid of assassination, they even took away the hairpins on their bodies, and only gave them red ropes to decorate their hair.
Bai Shuqin was about to put on her cloak, but Lin Fengyue came over and took the cloak in her hand. Bai Shuqin was a little puzzled, could it be that she woke up late, so they wouldn't give her a cloak?
"Yours is not this one, I'll get it for you." Lin Fengyue smiled, she instructed the maid next to her in the local language, and the maid put down what she was doing, walked to the hanger, and took off a red tulle skirt and a red cloak with white fox fur.
Lin Fengyue took the clothes from the maid's hand, handed the white cloak in her hand to the maid, turned around and handed the clothes to Bai Shuqin, "Put on this." ”
Compared to white, Bai Shuqin does prefer red. She didn't shy away from it, and changed into a red dress in front of Lin Fengyue.
After dressing up, Lin Fengyue still led the way to take them out.
Although Bai Shuqin and the others were given cloaks, they still did not give them shoes. The chill was still strong when I stepped barefoot on the marble floor. The other dancers walked on tiptoe with their arms folded coldly.
Bai Shuqin couldn't help but suspect that Zhou Guo was probably short of shoes this week, otherwise he would not even be willing to give them shoes. She tightened her toes, secretly converging her internal force on the soles of her feet, so that the cold did not invade.
After meeting up with the other dancing girls, Bai Shuqin saw Nangong Che again. He still had a straight face, and he didn't linger long as his eyes swept over her, as if what had happened last night was just her dream.
Bai Shuqin's face looked at the courtyard, since Nangong Che looked like this, there was no need for her to be sentimental.
Nangong Che secretly laughed in his heart, Bai Shuqin's appearance as if he was angry made him feel funny.
The banquet began in the evening, but the preparations began in the morning. Including these dancing girls who were sent to the palace, they are about to leave now, and there will be various inspections when they enter the palace.
Nangong Che would not follow them into the palace, he only sent Bai Shuqin and them to the front yard.
In addition to Bai Shuqin and them in the front yard, there were many people, looking dressed up, all of them were servants of Situ Jing's mansion. Bai Shuqin looked around, but did not see Situ Jing's envoy.
