Chapter 230: Judgment with Affection
There are countless agencies in Shengjing City responsible for investigating cases, and Shen Xixu once heard of the prison where death row prisoners are held in Dali Temple, which is often full of wails and foul smells.
But now that I have seen the secret prison of the Criminal Department, the Dali Temple seems to be not worth mentioning.
This place is very different from the rumored Dali Temple prison, not only is it well kept, clean, not even wailing, but it really has an eerie air to people.
"Uncle Huang, don't these people cry out for injustice?" Shen Xixu asked Gu Huanli in surprise.
She had seen before that even if a death row inmate was beheaded on the execution ground, he would be lucky enough to cry out to himself, why was there no sound in the secret prison of the Ministry of Punishment?
Gu Huanli snorted coldly when he heard this: "When you come here, you have to abide by the rules here, and those who disturb themselves in vain, hey, are all there." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a certain corner, which Shen Xixu had not noticed in the darkness before, but now he was startled when he looked in the direction of Gu Huanli's finger.
"Oh my God, who are these people!" Shen Xixu was so frightened that she instantly jumped behind Gu Huanli, and what appeared in front of her was a pile of skulls.
Gu Huanli was already used to it, and then responded calmly: "It's the people you said who don't admit their guilt and cry out for themselves." ”
Shen Xixu understood, no wonder the people here were quiet, and they were all alive by these people...... Oh no, it should be the horrific example of death.
I have heard that the methods of the Criminal Department are cruel, and Shen Xixu can be regarded as a leader in today's trip.
If you don't admit your guilt, you die, according to this saying, isn't there no one in the criminal department who can go out innocently?
Shen Xixu couldn't help but be a little curious, and then asked Gu Huanli: "But the Criminal Department is so decisive, aren't you afraid of wronging good people?" ”
When he asked this, before Gu Huanli could respond, Luo Mingrang, who had been standing silent for a long time, spoke first: "The Criminal Department never arrests innocent people. ”
It's also strange to say, Luo Mingrang is clearly a person from Xichang, but why does he mention that the efficiency of the Criminal Department is even more proud than Gu Huanli?
Shen Xixu didn't like to pay attention to him, but now when she saw that he was talking back, she didn't bother to pay attention to it, and then glanced at him with disdain and then looked at Gu Huanli again: "Uncle Huang, what are we here for today?" ”
Gu Huanli didn't explain much, just walked forward: "You will know in the past." ”
The three of them walked forward for a while, and saw that Qin Wei was already standing not far away to greet them.
"How's the interrogation going?" Gu Huanli stepped forward and asked Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao looked serious: "My subordinates are not talented, I haven't asked for clues, and I ask His Highness to punish him." ”
This result was expected by Gu Huanli, so he didn't blame Qin Xiao, and only stepped into the secret prison where the female leader was imprisoned.
"Woman?" Shen Xixu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this person.
The woman in front of her looked just the same age as Shen Xixu, her face was simple and harmless, and she didn't know how many crimes she had committed, and she would be locked up in such a dark place, with scars.
Shen Xixu was wondering, only to hear Gu Huanli step forward and ask the woman: "Is it really worth it to be tortured so much for such a straw bale?" ”
In addition to the word "straw bag" used to describe King Chang, Shen Xixu really can't think of others, but why does such an iron-clad woman want to defend such a stupid and vicious person?
Shen Xixu was puzzled, and the woman was silent.
Gu Huanli snorted coldly: "King Chang treats you as just a chess piece, but you work so hard for him, it's ridiculous to think about it." ”
When Gu Huanli said this, the woman spoke: "Your Highness has never treated me as a chess piece, you don't sow discord." ”
finally forced her to speak, and Gu Huanli showed a mocking smile on his face: "Really? If she didn't treat you like a pawn, how could she abandon your entire barracks in order to save her life? ”
"Your Highness, he didn't!" The woman forcibly helped King Chang argue.
Gu Huanli had just mentioned King Chang, the military camp and the like, and this woman was dressed in red, Shen Xixu couldn't help but think of what Luo Mingrang said when he tied himself up by mistake in the eastern suburbs-
The leader of the soldiers and horses in the eastern suburbs seems to be a woman dressed like this.
Shen Xixu, who had figured out some things, was suddenly shocked: "Could it be that she is the female general under Chang Wang Hui who trained soldiers and horses for him?" You mistook me for her that day? ”
Shen Xixu asked Luo Mingrang that the misunderstanding between the two in the eastern suburbs before could be regarded as a clear explanation, and Luo Mingrang didn't say much, just nodded at her.
After getting a response, Shen Xixu carefully looked at the woman in front of him, this dress and physical characteristics are indeed somewhat similar to himself that day, no wonder Luo Mingrang will admit his mistake.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Xixu seemed to think of something wrong, and then looked at Gu Huanli with a surprised expression:
"But after the matter was exposed, didn't King Chang send someone to burn down the military camp in the eastern suburbs overnight, why did she still appear here alive?"
Shen Xixu is not as good as Gu Huanli and Luo Mingrang, she is young and a woman after all, she looks simple and harmless, and even saying such a thing cannot be questioned.
Seeing that Shen Xixu didn't seem to be lying, the woman who was interrogated frowned: "What did you just say?" Who exactly was the one who set fire to the barracks? ”
Shen Xixu looked confused, and paused for a moment before repeating what he had just said:
"King Chang, my imperial uncle planned to send someone to investigate thoroughly, but when he arrived in the eastern suburbs, the military camp had already been burned down, and the person who burned the military camp was sent by King Chang, why, don't you know?"
Shen Xixu is serious, her eyes are extremely clear, this woman is the commander of an army, and she can be regarded as having read countless people, whether such a young woman is lying or not, she can tell at a glance.
But she was still in disbelief, and in her suspicion, she seemed to remember what Shen Xixu had just said that made her unbelievable, so she opened her mouth and asked, "Your name is Uncle Huanghuang, who are you?" ”
Shen Xixu had nothing to hide, so he responded to the other party by the way: "The only daughter of the eldest princess, the county lord of Pingchuan." ”
"You are the county lord, isn't His Royal Highness King Chang your brother? How can you frame him like this at such a young age? The woman asked Shen Xixu with an indignant expression.
Shen Xixu was speechless: "I framed him? What do I do when I am full of framing him, he does things with a head and no tail, and it is common for him to be caught by others when he shows his feet, so why do I need to frame him? ”
Gu Huanli was originally worried that Shen Xixu would cause trouble for herself, but she didn't expect that she would do herself a big favor by hitting the ground crookedly.
Seeing that the woman being interrogated seemed to be shaken when she heard Shen Xixu's words, Gu Huanli hurriedly struck while the iron was hot:
"How do you think that such a big thing as raising soldiers and horses without permission can King Chang get out of the way? If he hadn't agreed to His Majesty's life in exchange for Nail's life, how would His Majesty have sought a scapegoat for him? ”
"What? So the person who was made public was really guilty of King Chang? Shen Xixu, who didn't know the situation, asked in surprise, and Gu Huanli nodded immediately.
Shen Xixu was simply annoyed: "This King Chang is really excessive, first framed Ah Xuan, and then found an innocent person to take the blame for himself, I thought he was just stupid, but I didn't expect that he didn't even have humanity." ”
Gu Huanli and Shen Xixu sang and harmonized, which really made a mess of the woman.
"Enough, I won't believe anything you say, Your Highness, he will never abandon us." The woman still firmly believed in King Chang.
Gu Huanli and Luo Ming made the two big men really unable to guess the thoughts of their daughter's family, and they didn't know what made her believe in King Chang, a gentleman who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.
But right now, Shen Xixu, the only woman present, came in handy, and she looked at the person in front of her for a while and then asked tentatively: "Girl, you shouldn't be in love with that guy, right?" ”
When the woman heard this, she immediately reacted violently and denied: "Hugh is talking nonsense." ”
Having said that, judging from her evasive expression, Shen Xixu's guess didn't seem to be nonsense.
Shen Xixu didn't care whether she admitted or denied it, so he sighed for him: "No, I said that you are a good girl who has a bad eye on the son of a family, why do you have to fall in love with him like a gentleman?" ”
Sure enough, as soon as she saw Shen Xixu describe King Chang like this, the woman immediately glared at him angrily: "Shut up, you are not allowed to slander His Highness like this." ”
"And you still don't admit that you have a love for him?" Shen Xixu wittily grasped the loopholes in the woman's words and deeds, and the woman was instantly speechless.
This can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence, Shen Xixu simply felt worthless for her: "You really misjudged him, do you know how many women he has?" I change a batch every few days, and I can't recognize my sister clearly. ”
Even if Shen Xixu said this, the woman was still unmoved.
However, seeing that she may indeed have such thoughts about King Chang, Gu Huanli simply followed Shen Xixu's method to push the boat down the river:
"Miss Lu Jia, who was killed by the cane a few days ago, seems to be his own hand in order to please the newcomer, you are just more valuable to him than that woman, and now that the matter in the eastern suburbs has been revealed, you are no longer useful to him, and he will naturally not protect you anymore."
Gu Huanli's words must have wiped out the last expectations of this woman for King Chang in her heart, but she still held on-"You talk nonsense, he won't, he said it, one day I will definitely stand by his side in a dignified manner." ”
Even Shen Xixu didn't believe this, and he didn't know how he deceived this heroine who had read countless people.
Shen Xixu was about to step forward to dissuade him, but was stopped by Gu Huanli, only to see him look at the woman with a straight face: "Why don't we make a bet." ”
