Chapter 290: The Bargaining Prisoner
"Let go of me, let go of my ......"
Xiao Qinghou struggled fiercely and shouted loudly: "Don't want to get anything you want to know from me, I won't let you succeed if I die......"
Jun Lin's face did not change, and he said coldly: "What this king wants to do has never been unsuccessful, Jun Yan Lie is going to rebel and has caused a lot of people to be killed, and now there are still many people in prison who have been imprisoned because of this matter, and they are waiting to be released." If the king throws you in, those people will make you even more desperate for life! You are hiding here, don't you just want to live? As long as you confess to your comrades, you will live a little longer than you are now. ”
Xiao Qinghou heard the most proud grandson Jun Yan Lie, and thought of his most beloved daughter, one who went to prison and the other who died. His expression couldn't help but hate King's Landing even more, and his eyes were full of resentment.
The whole Xiao Mansion was slaughtered, even the newborn child was not spared......
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be blinded by tears, and the struggle became even more intense.
"I just don't know anything at all, and the rebellion is also your bloody mouth, how could the third prince want to kill his father and brother? Even if it is, this matter has nothing to do with me, why don't you give me a chance to confess?" Xiao Qinghou was full of resentment and had nowhere to vent, and shouted loudly.
Hearing this, King's Landing eyes flickered slightly, and said coldly: "Oh, you don't know, then why do you often let Xiao Guifei's henchmen and eunuchs go in and out of Kanglan Villa? Then what are you doing here? Why, can you escape the crown prince's capture?"
Xiao Qinghou was like being choked by King's Landing's hand, and he was suddenly silenced, and a pair of eyes bulged out and stared at King's Landing for a long time before he said with difficulty: "I...... I just, just escaped!"
"Stop talking nonsense with your eyes open!"
Suddenly, Mu Qingyan opened her mouth and said lightly: "The three-year-old child you said only knows that you bothered to make it up, as the marquis of Xiaohou Mansion, if you disappear, you will be the first to be known in the process of being arrested." Besides, this is a secret passage in the Queen Mother's bedroom, don't say you sleepwalked. Of course, we won't believe it, looking at your makeover, you know that when Xiaohou Mansion was raided, you changed people. ”
"Say you don't know, say it's not a conspiracy, then you still know how to hide, and you still know that there is a stealing dragon and turning a phoenix? This is the place of Cining Palace, and the location is even more difficult to find, if it wasn't premeditated, how could you find this place to hide? Besides, it looks like it's set up so that people can live, so it can be seen that what you say is all lies that can't be justified. Besides, if you really don't know, how can you cover up what your sons and grandchildren are doing. How could Jun Yan Lie be allowed to take a million taels from Xiao Hou's Mansion to prepare for recruitment?"
"Don't say it, you don't know such a big sum of silver!" she looked at Xiao Qinghou's imageless and bloodless face lightly, and said: "Moreover, you don't know, the Queen Mother has fled! ”
As he spoke, the Dark Guards who had been sent out to follow An Qianzhong to find the mechanism rushed in.
An Qianzhong's dragged face appeared, holding a small black box in his hand, and said, "Oh, I didn't expect that there was such a powerful mechanism here, and I couldn't even open it." After a pause, "There are really a lot of secret rooms here, and the things in the secret rooms are a bit scary, and the things found are also surprising." ”
King's Landing glanced at An Qianzhong, and his eyes flashed with depth.
When Mu Qingyan heard this, she immediately understood and said, "This thing contains something very important?"
Since it is said that a lot of things have been discovered, and they can scare An Qianzhong, it is really not an ordinary thing, and what can be held by An Qianzhong in his hand must be even more hidden in it.
However, after Xiao Qinghou, who was tied up by five flowers, saw the small black box in An Qianzhong's hand, he suddenly went crazy, writhed wildly, and shouted in his mouth: "Give it to me, give it back to me!"
Seeing this, Mu Qingyan wondered and asked, "What kind of thing is this, can it be stimulated like this?"
An Qianzhong took the small black box forward and said, "This box, the quality is really good, and I don't even know what material it is made of." By the way, this box was found in that pile of hallucinogenic drugs, and it should have something to do with that. ”
Mu Qingyan also felt that it made sense when she heard this, and said: "A few days ago, the concubine who died in the Prince's Mansion was caused by hallucinogenic drugs, and the Xiao Mansion was operating distribution. Isn't it the recipe in it? In this case, it is better to simply destroy it, so as not to harm countless people. This kind of harmful thing exists, and people who have taken it are energetic and energetic at the beginning, but the damage to the body is particularly great, and it is difficult to quit for life when they become addicted. All his life, he can only get this opportunity to smoke, and become a driven slave, and will do anything in order to get the opportunity to smoke. ”
Mu Qingyan knew very well how terrible drug addiction was, so when she thought of this aspect, she immediately wanted to destroy the little black box.
Looking at Xiao Qinghou, who was insane, An Qianzhong muttered: "He is like this now, could it be that he became from what medicine you said?"
Hearing this, King's Landing stared coldly at Xiao Qinghou, who was going crazy but couldn't do anything.
He knew that Xiao Qinghou was shrewd and would never do anything he was not sure of, and when Jun Yan Lie would choose to do it, he must have calculated the risk.
The matter of rebellion is so serious, how could Xiao Qinghou not know, however, he is willing to take the risk and let Jun Yanlie do it, isn't it because he has no fear?
"Looking at him, he is really not much different from someone who has taken medicine. Mu Qingyan frowned, looked carefully at Xiao Qinghou who was escorted by the secret guard, and after a while, said: "His eyes are empty, and it is estimated that he doesn't know what he is doing at the moment." ”
"How could a trafficker not know the dangers of hallucinogens? He even smoked it, it was too terrifying!" An Qianzhong looked at the irrational person to speak of, his brows furrowed tightly.
Mu Qingyan's dark and shiny eyes calmly looked at Xiao Qinghou's empty and crazy eyes, and said lightly: "If you want to escape from the huge gap in reality, it is normal for people who are weak to eat. Besides, he has experienced the disaster of going from a high position to nothing, and the extermination of the race, there is such a possibility. Another possibility is that he wants to win someone's trust. ”
King's Landing stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her waist, his expression was faint and cold, he looked at Xiao Qinghou and spoke: "He has become like this, he is completely unworthy of virtue, even if what they conspired to succeed, he can't go long." With the wolf's ambition and the sideways at the beginning, it was only a matter of time before he would become like this. ”
At this moment, everyone seemed to see Xiao Qinghou's result.
Once high-spirited, because of a mistake, and then it turned into today and can never look back.
"Pull away!"
With this faint sound, Xiao Qinghou was dragged down by the secret guard and disappeared.
Mu Qingyan doesn't have to think about it to know where Xiao Qinghou will be taken, but if Xiao Qinghou can escape the prince and take someone to raid the house, then will the rest of the Xiao family also steal the dragon and the phoenix and escape together?
In the account book, she saw that the Xiao Mansion was also collecting countless wealth, but when the prince raided the house, the recorded Xiao Mansion was also a middle-class aristocratic wealth......
"What do you want?" King's Landing gently hugged Mu Qingyan and asked in a low voice.
Mu Qingyan frowned, her eyes sank slightly, and said, "I wonder why the prince took someone to copy the property records of the Xiao Mansion and the records I saw just now......
Hearing this, King's Landing's eyes darkened, and he said, "Are you suspicious of the prince?"
The crown prince is suspicious, but there is no evidence, and no one will believe that the prince would blatantly do such a thing in front of everyone's noses, right?
Mu Qingyan listened, did not speak, just silently looked at the unfamiliar face in front of her, her expression full of doubts.
"Master, what should I do with this person?"
At this time, Zhang Heng's voice came from not far away.
Hearing this, King's Landing glanced at the person who was still being pressed by the secret guards, and said lightly: "He can explain here that he knows the truth, and let him tell all the ...... he knows."
"Yes, master!" Zhang Heng replied with him behind.
Then, he made a gesture to the dark guard to be escorted, and the strange man disappeared without even a chance to argue.
Xiao Qinghou, a member of the first grade, awarded the first grade, is still the father of Xiao Guifei, the maternal grandfather of the third prince Jun Yan Lie, and the ancestors are the vanguard of the emperor of the Daduan Dynasty, accumulating the current upper-class nobles, and his background is already a high-ranking nobleman, his official fortune is prosperous, and the family has a bright future.
If so, the ambition is not large, and guarding this property can also extend the blessing of future generations......
Unfortunately, people's hearts are always insatiable, especially in front of those who are blinded by power, and nothing can match the high position of deliberate planning.
If Xiao Qinghou had not acquiesced to the actions of Xiao Guifei and his sons, there would not have been such a day. Moreover, people like Jun Yan Lie will not become so unbearable, besides, the Daduan Dynasty seems to be the emperor in charge, but whether it is or not, no one can really say clearly......
And......
Mu Qingyan raised her eyes slightly and looked at the man beside her, and there were always some uncertain thoughts in her heart.
"What's wrong, are you tired?" King's Landing's voice sounded in Mu Qingyan's ears.
Hearing this, Mu Qingyan shook her head and said lightly: "There are so many things found here, it will still take a while to sort them out, what are you going to do with the objects here?" It seems that the fake queen mother was embarrassed by your surprise attack and fled, and many important things were left. ”
"Hmm!" King's Landing replied lightly, "What is found here, this king will let people sort it out." Zhang He is still chasing her who has escaped, and I believe that some things that I don't know will soon be able to know......"
Next.
"Master, Xiao Qinghou has confessed, and the person who was arrested with him over there is a dispenser, usually the identity of the eunuch next to the fake queen mother exists as a cover, and he is a pharmacist who cultivates hallucinogenic poison in the secret room of Cining Palace, and the reason why Xiao Qinghou can smoke it is also because this pharmacist privately induces him to consume hallucinogenic poison. Zhang Heng stepped forward and bowed respectfully and said.
"Is there only the two of them in the secret room?" Mu Qingyan asked, her eyebrows raised, and after breaking through the wall, she obviously saw several figures fleeing.
Why didn't you mention these things?
Zhang Heng replied: "This Xiao Qinghou replied that there were many people inside, but they were all disguised with human skin masks, and Shui Linglong was not allowed to have too much mixing in private. ”
"The little black box that his subordinates found in the secret passage, Xiao Qinghou said that every time he couldn't stand it, Shui Linglong would take out the antidote from it and give it to him, so he would go crazy when he saw the little black box in An Qianzhong's hand when he happened to be addicted. After the master and the princess left, his subordinates also found many utensils from the secret passage, as well as special smoking tools and residual medicines. ”
"That's all?" asked Mu Qingyan.
Zhang Heng raised his eyes and glanced at King's Landing, and after getting tacit approval, he spoke: "It is still under interrogation, do the subordinates think that these things should be reported to the master and the princess as soon as possible." ”
King's Landing had a pale look in his eyes, his expression was cold, and he said, "Let's go, this king will go with you to see what else he has to say." ”
Mu Qingyan glanced at him sideways, then nodded and said, "Okay!"
In the cell, dead silence and darkness gathered.
From the first step Mu Qingyan stepped into here, she smelled the thick smell of blood floating in the air under her nose, and there was a faint sound of whipping in the air, which became unusually loud in the dead silence.
"There are all human and material evidence, what is your name, where are you from, and why are you in the palace?"
Stepping into the cage, Mu Qingyan saw that Xiao Qinghou and the pharmacist were also hanged.
I don't know when, there was a 'clanging sound' in the air, breaking the dead silence.
Mu Qingyan saw that Xiao Qinghou's hands were hanging on the bloodstained wall, and there was no good place on his body, and there was already a pool of blood on the ground where he was, and he knew that he had suffered a lot of torture when he looked at it.
It's just that at this time, the ordinary man who was soaked in his own blood opened his swollen eyes with difficulty, and his gaze passed through the execution guards, and accurately fell on Mu Qingyan who was in the shadow at the door.
Just when Mu Qingyan was puzzled, he opened his blood-stained mouth and revealed a creepy smile.
"The fourth princess came to see me on purpose, right?" Xiao Qinghou had already spoken a little vaguely at the moment, and did not get a response, but continued: "If you want to know more things from me, just come in, hahaha...... Are you scared? Hahaha......"
Seeing such a scene, King's Landing suddenly felt a feeling of regret, he shouldn't have let Mu Qingyan come with him just now.
In order to interrogate Xiao Qinghou and the nameless pharmacist, he ordered to use the most extreme punishment, even a tough guy can't last a day, Xiao Qinghou will say these things he knows, it is expected, but he didn't expect to say it so quickly.
Overnight, Xiao Qinghou changed from a person to a person who was now scared when he saw a ghost, and he began to worry a little about what Mu Qingyan would think when he saw it......
As if she knew what King's Landing was thinking, Mu Qingyan stretched out her hand that was not caught, and patted King's Landing gently, signaling that she didn't have to worry too much.
As a superior person, King's Landing grew up in the emperor's house since he was a child, and because of the bad luck he encountered since childhood, his personality is more distorted, and his methods are even more cruel, but these behaviors are all accumulated by him step by step, a person who has no father, no mother, and has to avoid pursuit and poison all the time, and the dangers encountered in the middle are unknown, and there are many cruel people who have encountered cruel means!
If King's Landing's methods are not good enough, ruthless enough, and not grudgeful enough, I am afraid that it will be no longer in this world, and the ashes will be left long ago.
Yes, although she adheres to the principle of revenge and revenge, sometimes, because of what the soul saw and heard before the crossing, she occasionally has compassion and will be tolerant of the sins of some people.
However, after coming to this world, all the experiences have made her slowly learn how to deal with things, how to be ruthless, some things look pitiful, but, in fact, poor people must have something to hate.
Since this is the case, she will not blame King's Landing for her unbearable means.
Mu Qingyan reached out and tried to break King's Landing's hand away from her wrist, but she still didn't dare to use force, so she just gently pulled it with her hand.
King's Landing looked at her, his eyes swerving, and he didn't let go.
Hearing this, Xiao Qinghou took the initiative to ask Mu Qingyan to go in and tell her what he knew, which was a good thing, but he was not happy. However, such a mother-in-law appeared in his body, and he began to have some disgusting emotions fermenting.
Mu Qingyan raised her eyes to meet his worried eyes, and said: "He was hanged, I went in, he couldn't do anything, just to vent the depression and incompetence in his heart." Didn't we come here to see him and know what he wanted to know?"
Jun Lin's eyes moved slightly, looking at Mu Qingyan, before he could make a decision, Mu Qingyan had already dragged him from the door of the cell into the torture room by himself.
"Don't take it as an example......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mu Qingyan's words and said, "You are by my side, I am not afraid!"
I have already learned to be obedient, and at this time, I can't force myself with Uncle Jun, and I can't do it, so I can only use the Huairou policy.
King's Landing, who was still looking tense, slowed down in his eyes, and a rare tenderness swelled up in his eyes.
When the guards saw that the two were about to enter, they immediately opened the door of the locked cell.
Then, Mu Qingyan and King's Landing walked in.
Mu Qingyan just looked at Xiao Qinghou quietly and didn't talk to him.
Xiao Qinghou also stared at Mu Qingyan with a pair of cloudy eyes from the swollen eyelids that narrowed into a line, and after a long time, he let out a hoarse laugh, and his tone was endlessly sharp, and said, "You want to know about hallucinogenic drugs from me, I have already said it." I guess what else you want to know from me? If I say that Mu Rin's legs will be broken and his martial arts will be abolished, will you be happy to hear it?"
Hearing this, Mu Qingyan seemed to have been stabbed with a knife, her eyes tightened, she stared at Xiao Qinghou deadly, and gritted her teeth and said, "You did it?"
"No! it's not me!" Xiao Qinghou's swollen eyes seemed to become wide, and he could see his cloudy eyes, which instantly became sharp, looked directly at Mu Qingyan's beautiful face, and said: "But, I know who did it, beg me, as long as you kneel down and beg me, I will tell you...... Isn't it cruel to me, isn't it painful, yes, I just want you to be painful, I want you to feel the pain of my body at the moment hahaha......"
King's Landing looked at Xiao Qinghou with cold eyes, and said coldly: "If you continue to answer the question, this king can make you live and not die." ”
When Xiao Qinghou heard King's Landing's voice, his crazy smile condensed, he glanced at King's Landing with a strange expression, and said gloomily: "Why did Mu Rin's leg have an accident, you also knew it in advance, didn't you?" Mu Qingyan, don't you want to know, you should ask the man next to you, now you know, and the person who wants to kill Mu Rin and your father Mu Hanshan are also involved...... Why you were hunted down is also Mu Hanshan's handiwork, the Queen Mother just used a small trick, and all of you were tricked around...... Hahaha, this thing didn't work out, you escaped again and again, it's a pity, Mu Rin didn't die, and he was forced to marry a man after he was wasted, this is the best retribution!"
A thunderbolt flashed in her head, Mu Qingyan's eyes were uncertain, and all the broken clues and fragments of everything instantly put together a complete picture in her mind.
It turned out that from the very beginning, she and the person who hid in the shadows have always been the fake Queen Mother Shui Linglong, and the person who has been lurking in the dark to stir up the storm is Shui Linglong, and this emerging thing is just the tip of the iceberg.
Mu Rin should not have suffered such a serious crime, it was because of Shui Linglong, because of Mu Hanshan, and because of an insatiable person like Xiao Qinghou that their brothers and sisters would suffer so many disasters.
"It's because Mu Rin got the military power and got the emperor's respect, these are all traces to follow, but why do you want to poison me?" Mu Qingyan suppressed the hatred and surging emotions in her heart, and asked in a deep voice.
At this moment, she didn't have the courage to ask the men around her, even if she knew that Xiao Qinghou said this on purpose, wanting to cause misunderstanding and hatred between their husband and wife.
Therefore, she chose to slow down a little, these things did not need to be asked at all, but had to wait, wait for him to speak in person......
Only by being calm and steady can he get a glimpse of the vine from the mouth of an old fox like Xiao Qinghou, and it will be easier to find out the truth behind Mu Rin and himself being ambushed.
It's just that when she heard that Mu Hanshan was also involved, her heart was full of mixed feelings, at that time, Mu Rin was still Mu Hanshan's biological son!
How could Mu Hanshan be able to do such a vicious murder to his own son? Power is very important, so isn't his son important?
Mu Qingyan thought about it, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a wry smile, she really thought too much, Mu Hanshan is a selfish person, how could she think that her own flesh and blood can be compared to power......
Fortunately, now Mu Rin is not Mu Hanshan's son at all......
"Let me go, let me go, and I'll tell you everything you want to know......" Xiao Qinghou's eyes flashed with a calculating light.
