With the holy purpose given by the emperor, Jiang Qiancheng and Jiang Qianbai could directly lead people to search various places in the imperial city, but they did not search indiscriminately, but first listed the places they suspected, and then arranged for someone to secretly investigate and found that there was an abnormality, so they took people to search.

In just three days, Jiang Qiancheng had already searched out two locations where those rebel forces were harboring, all of which were in one pot without the slightest hesitation.

Jiang Qianbai's situation was also good, he took away the two dens smoothly, and directly put everyone in prison, waiting for Jiang Qiancheng to interrogate them.

When Jiang Qiancheng went to see those people in the prison, they all shouted that they were wronged and innocent, and they all made noise in the prison, as if they wanted everyone outside to hear.

Jiang Qiancheng said: "Even if you shout out your throat here, no one outside will pay attention to you, if you want to get out of here alive, you have to cooperate with me." ”

An old man inside suddenly accosted: "Who are you?" Why should we cooperate with you? We are innocent, we have no idea what we have done wrong! ”

"That's it!" Immediately, someone chimed in: "Why did you arrest us here?" Hurry up and let us out, we are just innocent people! ”

Jiang Qiancheng walked up to them with a smile on his face, although there was a prison door, Jiang Qiancheng could clearly see their expressions, he said: "Ordinary innocent people don't have the courage to say such arrogant words. ”

The people inside looked at each other, and then someone said: "My lord, we are really wronged, you can do it, let's go out, my wife and children are waiting outside for me to come home for dinner!" ”

"My lord, you can let us go, we are all ordinary people, old and young, usually behaving well, and we haven't done anything against the law!"

Jiang Qiancheng smiled and said, "What you have done, you know it in your own hearts. ”

"My lord, how did you ......?"

"Don't talk nonsense with me here, I don't have any extra time to waste here with you!"

“……”

The people in the prison immediately began to talk as if they were really innocent people who had not done anything bad.

But Jiang Qiancheng didn't believe what he saw with his eyes now, he had sent people to investigate the details of these people, and he didn't accept ordinary people at all, but those bad guys who ganged up with those rebel forces to make trouble and fan the flames in the imperial city!

Jiang Qiancheng shouted: "Shanwu." ”

Shan Wu immediately led people to Jiang Qiancheng's face: "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince command?" ”

"These people don't seem to want to tell the truth in front of us, so we don't have to waste words with them, get ready, and use torture."

"Yes."

The people in the big prison in front of him heard Jiang Qiancheng's words clearly, and they immediately rushed up, struggling, and making noise.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we are innocent, you can't torture ordinary people like us!"

"You're beating you up, it's not fair to us!"

"Leave us alone, we really don't know anything, please!"

“……”

Such words, Jiang Qiancheng had already heard enough when he caught them on the first day, if they were really innocent, Jiang Qiancheng would not have arrested them here, since the people were here, obviously, they were not innocent.

Jiang Qiancheng said to Shan Wu: "I don't care what kind of punishment you use, but what I want to know must be asked, do you know?" ”

Shan Wu nodded: "Got it, please rest assured Your Highness." ”

When Jiang Qiancheng left, the people who were imprisoned in the prison made a fuss, but there were not a few guards guarding inside, and no matter how much trouble they had, they couldn't make any trouble.

Shan Wu looked at them: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already given you the opportunity to confess, but you don't cherish it, from now on, all the things you have to encounter in this prison are what you deserve." ”

"No, my lord, let us go!"

"Be lenient in your confession, be strict in your resistance, tell us what you want to know, and you may be able to save your life."

“……”

Shan Wu gave an order, and the guards in charge of punishment brought up all the torture tools that had been prepared earlier, and there were three whole boxes, none of which were repeated, and just looking at them, they felt a little shocked.

As soon as the torture instruments were released, there was an uproar in the prison, and the voices begging for mercy were different, but no one was willing to confess.

When Jiang Qiancheng walked out of the prison, he ran into Jiang Qianbai who came to check the situation.

Jiang Qianbai asked him with a smile: "How is the matter, is there anyone in there who is willing to tell you the truth?" ”

Jiang Qiancheng shook his head.

Jiang Qianbai sighed and said, "There is no progress on my side, it seems that these people don't cry when they don't see the coffin, and they don't know how far they can hold on." ”

"How much backbone do you think people like them can do for people?"

"Why don't we make a bet?"

Jiang Qiancheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "What bet?" ”

"Just bet on how long these people can hold out."

"Yes, what's the bet?"

"Still need a bet?" Jiang Qianbai smiled: "If you win the bet, then you are amazing, what additional bets can you have?" I don't have anything you need right now! ”

"No, I think you still have a lot of things I want."

"But I don't want to give it to you!"

“……”

Jiang Qiancheng and Jiang Qianbai returned to the East Palace to rest, and before it was dark, Shan Wu came back, Jiang Qiancheng was a little surprised, it was so fast?

Shan Wu arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, the fifth prince, I have asked about something." ”

Jiang Qiancheng and Jiang Qianbai looked at each other and asked, "What happened?" ”

"It's the people behind them who paid them to do things, they say, it's an old man, and he's very generous, and the accent is a local, obviously a rich merchant or a powerful minister in the imperial city."

"Don't they know what that person's true identity is?"

"That guy had a guard with him every time he traded with them, and he himself was wearing a mask, and they didn't know what he looked like."

Jiang Qiancheng frowned slightly: "If that's the case, then the matter will be difficult to do, with such a description, dozens of them can be found in the imperial city!" ”

Jiang Qianbai asked: "Is there any iconic feature on that person's body that can make people identify themselves?" ”

"They said the man had a hoarse voice, very ugly, and most of the time the guards around him were speaking for him."

Jiang Qianbai touched his chin: "I know one such person." ”
