Chinese I don't remember how many times she said she was a spirit girl! And when I said before, in the dark, she was not alone, this time, she could only rely on herself!

The prisoner car rushed to the state capital in full view of everyone, although it was already dark, but tonight had just begun, according to the procedures for investigating the case, with witness testimony, it should be the prisoner who drew on the confession!

The state capital of Yunzhou, Beitaizhou has a lot of grandeur, Nan Zhao got down from the prisoner car, and did not have time to go to the lobby, but was directly taken by Meng Gaomeng to the back hall for private trial.

The back hall is not spacious, there is a shelf in a small place, there is an iron pot in front of the shelf, and there are several branding inlays in the iron pot, and the crimes of stealing, wounding and murder are different, and the branding used is naturally different.

There is a long table next to the iron pot, which usually sits the chief judge, and behind the long table, there is a torture rack. Nan Zhao was tied to a wooden frame, and in order to prevent her from drawing the power of Linghua during the trial, they tied her hands to death with iron chains, and put a cloth bag on her hand, which was densely painted with runes.

Because today was the prince's personal trial, the humble long table had been replaced by a wide chair with a leather cushion, and Zhou Zheng sat on it with Na Liji.

"Nan Zhao—do you know how long I've been waiting for this day?" Liji leaned on Zhou Zheng, smiling charmingly.

Nan Zhao naturally knew that this woman hated her so much, but she was not afraid at all, and looked at the other party calmly.

"What are you looking at?" Liki approached and pinched her chin with her hand. She didn't speak, but Liki had a lot to say to her.

"Nan Zhao, are you afraid?"

"Afraid of you?" The other party felt that she was provoking herself, slapped her in the face, and asked rhetorically

"Shouldn't you be afraid of me?" Nan Zhao is not answering, the answer is obvious. The good in this world is more or less the same, but the evil is strange, and Liki is obviously the best of the latter, but she is not afraid.

It's nothing more than death, and death has long been a common thing for her, so why be afraid? Liji also saw that she didn't eat oil and salt, so she picked on her sore spot and said

"Shen Rugu is a really smart person, you see, even he has left you, people like you are destined to die badly-"

"yes, people like me weren't born with a good life!" When she confessed, she self-deprecatingly pulled the bloody corners of her mouth.

"I also watched the play of the Bliss Class, and I am very interested in the story in it, you say, the Mei in the play is really similar to him, they can't be the same soul in the past and this life, right?" To be able to say this, Liki obviously knows a lot.

Nan Zhao's heart was indeed stung, but it was not Liji's malice that stung her, but from the past in their past and present lives, which she did not want to be involved in.

Liji then said a lot of ugly words, but Nan Zhao didn't hear a word. What she saw in front of her eyes was all what Shen Rugu said before she left the night before.

"There is truth and falsehood in the play, you can take it seriously or not believe it, but this son has never loved you." Obviously, there was a person who was also in the streets and alleys of Yunzhou, buying sugar gourds for her, holding her hand and telling her

"The things in this world, even if you see them with your own eyes, are not necessarily true, let alone by word of mouth!" But she managed not to believe the rumors that were being spread by others, and he told her that it was all true!

It's true......

"Smack-" The slap fell, and she stiffly pulled back from her pain. Nan Zhao looked at Liji who trampled on her wantonly in front of him, his eyes suddenly changed from the sadness just now, to cold, as if he was going to eat her.

Liji glanced at the position of her right hand tabooly, and immediately felt much more relieved when she thought that Master Jiuwu had assured her that this cloth bag could seal her spirit flower.

"Look at me like this again, I'll gouge out your eyes and feed them to the dogs right away!" When Liji was almost done, Zhou Zheng picked up a copy of the guilty words written in front of him and ordered

"Nan Zhao killed eight people in a row, and the human and material evidence is there, you hurry up and confess your guilt, so as not to torture you again!"

"I didn't kill anyone!" She said firmly. The other party also expected that this woman would not confess easily, so he immediately let the people below start to torture.

Liki said

"The concubine wants to see her being whipped and whipped to the point that her flesh and bones are cracked, it must be very beautiful!" The prince also looked excited,

"Just do what the beauty said, come here, whip this prince, and draw until she confesses and draws her into custody!" When the sound fell, a strong man came up, picked the thickest whip from the torture rack, and pulled it down fiercely from Nan Zhao's body.

One, two, three...... Nan Zhao gritted his teeth in pain and didn't say a word. Liki couldn't enjoy watching it, and sarcastically said on the side

"You demon girl can really bear it, so you don't scream!" She has a lot of tricks, so she whispered something to her subordinates, and not long after, her subordinates came in with a basin of water and splashed it on Nanzhao.

"Ahh

Liki commanded again

"Keep pumping, pour a basin of water every ten pumps, I want to see how long you can last!" Normal people can't stand it under heavy whipping, let alone such repeated torture?

"Stop!" Outside the back hall, a group of people walked quickly towards this side. Zhou Zheng heard the other party's voice, but he didn't care, he almost didn't look at the person, and asked knowingly

"Shouldn't Zhen Guogong be outside the city, why is it so late and he still runs to the state capital?" Sima Feng naturally received the news and rushed back temporarily, he said sternly

"I heard that there was a murder in the state city last night, a total of eight people died, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been tried in person, and the old man can't be idle, come over to hear the trial!" The others had entered the back hall, and when they saw Nan Zhao tied to the Xing frame, a puddle of water on the ground, and a strong man with a whip next to him, they knew that he had been tortured!

He asked

"His Royal Highness the Prince, has the prisoner pleaded guilty?" Zhou Zheng lazily leaned back in his chair and replied

"It's not that she hasn't been recruited yet, so I want her to confess!"

"The punishment is not true, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have heard of it, right?"

"Huh." Zhou Zheng sneered

"What is mantra? She is the one who killed in front of everyone, this prince has the testimony of dozens of witnesses, and ordinary people have already confessed it, she doesn't admit her guilt, doesn't she feel lucky that someone can save her? After hearing this, Sima Feng nodded along with her words, and then said

"Can you show the old man the testimony of those witnesses?" Zhou Zheng threw a few pieces of paper in front of him casually, and he walked over and took them in his hand to take a closer look.

When he saw it almost, Zhou Zheng asked

"Sima Feng, can you see this black and white text clearly?" Sima Feng nodded,

"See clearly!"

"And what else do you have to say?" He mentioned

"The testimony said that he witnessed Nan Zhao beating several deceased people, but not witnessing Nan Zhao directly beating several dead people to death! From the eve before to the discovery of the deceased's death, there were almost ten hours, and the testimony in these ten hours seems to be a bit problematic! ”

"What's the problem?" Sima Feng picked up a copy of the testimony and read it

"Witness Dong Hong said that several people were injured after being beaten by Nan Zhao, she was the cook in the team, and after cooking dinner that night, she saw He Min send someone to invite the doctor to come and see the injuries of these people, and the doctor said that several people were seriously injured, and several people died one after another soon after." He looked up and asked

"Since they died shortly after the doctor came, they must have been very seriously injured at that time, but why didn't they even call for medical treatment when they were beaten?" Afraid that they would not understand, he explained in detail

"The cook cooks a night dinner for dozens of people, at least it takes an hour, right?" If you are seriously injured, why did you wait for a full hour to see a doctor?

Zhou Zheng was obviously stunned for a moment, and then asked disapprovingly

What does this mean? Maybe the head of their troupe was stingy and reluctant to invite a doctor, but then he really couldn't take it off, so he invited a doctor? ”

"This is all His Highness's conjecture, what the truth is, it still needs to be explained by the person concerned!" Sima Feng turned around and said

"Bring the witnesses in!" Zhou Zheng was not surprised, he had already heard the report of the spies below, after Meng Gaomeng took Nan Zhao away, Zhou Yang immediately ordered someone to control the people of the Bliss Class.

The first person to be brought up was He Min, this woman did have a bit of courage, and she didn't change her face when she entered this torture room.

Sima Feng questioned her

"He Min, why didn't you go to the doctor when the people in your troupe were injured, and waited for an hour to ask for a doctor?" He Min replied unhurriedly

"The people in my team are all hard-working people, and it is common for me to be beaten up in the north and south, and it costs a lot to ask the doctor, they can't afford it, and there is a gentleman in the troupe who plays the erhu who knows a little about medical skills, and first used bone-setting medicine to help them deal with the wounds, there are many people, and it takes some time to delay, and when the gentleman finds that a few people are not lightly injured, he urgently calls me to find a doctor!"

"Do you hear that, Sima Feng?" Zhou Zheng looked proud. Sima Feng nodded, asked He Min to go down first, and then called another witness.

This person is Mr. Erhu, who knows a little about medical skills mentioned by He Min just now, just a thin old man, his eyes don't seem to be very good, and he doesn't even know where to look.

"Old man, you were the first to help those eight people see their injuries?"

"Yes!"

"How did you confirm that their injuries were very serious, and you changed your mind and asked He Banshou to ask for a doctor?" The old man replied inarticulately

"At first, I said it hurt, but I was injured...... Of course, it hurts, I gave them medicine, and then after dinner, they said to me that the pain was unbearable, even if I wanted medicine, I didn't have medicine for them, so I had to say to He Banshou Please ask the doctor to come and see again, where do you know......" The old man said and wiped his tears, and it could be seen that the sadness came from the heart.

Nan Zhao was originally delirious, but when he heard the old man's cry, his eyes opened and closed weakly. Sima Feng's side was not over yet, and he called the cook again.

Zhou Zheng said impatiently

"What is there to ask about this cook, she doesn't know medical skills!"

"Your Highness, don't be impatient, the question that the old man wants to ask is the key to this case, and it must be asked." Sima Feng asked the cook

"Mr. Erhu said that these people shouted pain after eating dinner, so he asked for medicine to eat, what did the cook cook last night as a night dinner?"

"Yakiniku!" The cook replied

"We Leguo people like to eat pasta, and we eat baked cakes at night, and we are not hungry all night!"

"How big is the pancake?" The cook compared her hand in front of her, and it was the size of her head. Sima Feng asked her

"Have the wounded all eaten?" The cook didn't think about it, and nodded in reply

"After eating, a few of them are the laborers in our troupe, and they eat the most, a whole piece of bread, without any leftovers." Sima Feng smiled with satisfaction, and asked Zhou Zheng to take the cook out

"Your Highness, don't you think it's strange that a few seriously injured people who are about to die eat a whole head of baked cakes?" Zhou Zheng argued

"Maybe they'll come back to the light?" Sima Feng replied

"The old body doesn't know medical skills, but he also knows that returning to the light is a sign of a very small number of people before they die, and here are eight people, and all eight people have returned to the light? That's a coincidence, isn't it? In fact, this can only show one thing, that is, the injuries on these people at that time were not enough to make them die, but they still died in the end, which proves that there was another reason for killing them! Zhou Zheng's eyes were full of gloomy light, and he looked at the old man in front of him without saying a word, and sighed after a while

"I only heard that Grandpa Guo is a good general who leads the army to fight, but I didn't expect Grandpa Guo to be a good hand at investigating cases!" How could he not know that Zhen Guogong was invited back by Zhou Yang directly from the barracks, and he was in a hurry halfway, where did he have the time to interrogate witnesses and find out suspicious points from them, these things must have been found out by Zhou Yang.

Sima Feng humbly arched his hand and said

"Then Your Highness, since it proves that the death of these eight people is doubtful, it doesn't mean much to Nan Zhao at this moment to use torture to extract confessions, right?" Zhou Zheng replied

"Grandpa Guo is right, but she is still the biggest suspect, come on, take Nan Zhao to the state capital prison and take him to prison!" Hearing his order, Wu De next to him immediately ordered someone to untie Nan Zhao from the torture rack.

The state prison is located in the state capital, and all the men who are held in it are men, some of whom are death row prisoners who have committed homicides, and some of whom are only caught by the adulterous criminal department.

"Why does she have so many chains on her hands?"

"My hands are still covered by a cloth bag!" A good deed was said to them

"This woman killed eight people in a row, the crime is extremely heinous, I am afraid that she will kill again, so I tied my hands and feet, and retreated, don't look at it, if there is any strange movement at night, you better not hear it, don't make trouble!" As soon as the prisoners heard this, they knew that this woman would hardly survive tonight!

Nan Zhao was thrown into your messy cell, and he couldn't move for a long time. After a few moments, someone came in and stood outside the wooden fence of the cell and called out to her

"Nan Zhao ......," she replied, moving her body

"Brother Nine?" It was indeed Zhou Yang who came, he was wearing a black cloak, which covered his fine clothes, but standing in this dark and damp prison, he still did not fit in.

She also had chains on her feet, and she moved all on the ground and crawled on her elbows, and looked up at her as she climbed close with difficulty, a seven-foot man, his eyes were moist!

"Did the prince torture you?" He crouched down and reached through the gap in the middle of the cell, trying to take her hand, but her wrists were wrapped in chains.

Nan Zhao was afraid that he would be uncomfortable, so he said without hindrance

"They whipped me a few times, and I didn't even scream!" She said lightly, but how could Zhou Yang not know the ruthlessness of his eldest brother, his breathing was uneven, and his eyes were red.

"Really." Nan Zhao was afraid that he would not believe it, so he emphasized again

"Brother Jiu, I'm fine, don't worry about me!"

"It's all here, how can Brother Nine not worry about you?" Zhou Yang took a deep breath and lowered his voice to her

"Nan Zhao, Brother Jiu has already asked him to perform an autopsy, those people were definitely not killed by you, you wait, Brother Jiu will definitely save you from here!" She nodded in reply

"I never doubted it!" She was even very grateful, and after the person she thought was the most important in the world left, there was still a ninth brother who valued her life and death!

There are people from the prince everywhere here, he shouldn't have appeared here, he knows that the prince will definitely do it tonight, compared to the prince's killing intent, he is more afraid that Nan Zhao will have the will to die because of Shen Ru's departure, so he must see Nan Zhao.

Through the fence of the cell, he said in a deep voice

"Nan Zhao, you once said that that person is leading the way on the dark road you are walking, and it is all you rely on, and the ninth brother is not you, but he understands it deeply, because in the dark road that the ninth brother walked, there is also a person, who is the guardian of the ninth brother, with her, no matter how many thorns this road is covered with, the ninth brother is not afraid......" Nan Zhao listened, how could he not know that what he was referring to was himself.

"Brother Jiu, I'm ashamed, for so long, you have been taking care of me!" And I don't know if there is a chance to repay you...... Afraid that he would be upset, she did not say the rest of the words.

Zhou Yang had already heard it, and he said in a strong tone

"Since you're ashamed, you have to live well for Brother Jiu, Brother Jiu - I need you, you know?" She nodded with tears.

Xunlong strode in and said to Zhou Yang

"Master, it's time to go!" He also had to go, reluctantly stood up, and said to her again

"Nan Zhao, remember what you promised Brother Jiu, don't break your word." Zhou Yang left, the surroundings were not quiet, there was a bald man in the next cell, who came in because of injuries, how much did he hear what they said just now, and he gloated at the moment

"I wonder who is being cared for like this, it turns out that it is the prince who wants you to die!" Nan Zhao heard it, but ignored him.

He probably has been locked up for a long time, so he panicked and chattered

"I don't think the person who came to see you just now is not an ordinary person, do you call him Brother Jiu? It's your lover, right? Nan Zhao couldn't help it and replied

"What nonsense, that's my ninth brother!"

"Tsk, the little girl still wants to lie to me? I'm a man, we men know men best, a man likes a woman's gaze, you can't deceive people! "He lay on the hay and turned over,

"It's a pity, there is such a good man waiting for you, but you didn't have your life to get out of here alive!" Nan Zhao leaned against the fence of the cell and didn't answer, the injury from the whip just hurt a lot, but he was reminding her of one thing, this was just the beginning!

It was already late in the night, and from time to time there were the snoring of other prisoners in the cell, and rats running about in the distance.

Nan Zhao also fell asleep, and dreamed again, she dreamed that Shen Rugu was sitting in this cell, right on the hay where she was lying.

Out of nowhere, a ray of moonlight came in and illuminated his white robe, and he sat there looking at her as if he had gone back to the past.

"Why are you still in my dreams?" Nan Zhao asked him. He replied

"Even if you know it's a dream, it's fake."

"Yes, everything about Childe is fake!" She scoffed. Shen Rugu in the dream smiled faintly and told her

"Nan Zhao, this son is leaving!" She couldn't tell if it was a dream or reality, and asked him

"Isn't Childe already gone?" Shen Ru's eyes were light, and he got up and walked straight through the cell, standing at the other end.

Nan Zhao sat up and looked at him, he had already accepted his departure, but he was still in tears in his dreams, and asked stupidly

"Where are you going?" Shen Rugu stood there and said something to her with her mouth open, but she couldn't hear it, so she asked him nervously

"What did you say?" As soon as I was excited, I woke up from a dream! When she opened her eyes, she saw several blue-faced ghosts standing outside the cell, she was unprepared, she trembled in fright, and took a few breaths before saying to them

"You wait until your face is very ugly, go away!" Those blue-faced ghosts could sense her spirit flower, knew that she was a spirit girl, and stood outside and said respectfully

"We are all miserable people who died tragically in this prison, and we are not allowed to live beyond the road after death, I have heard an old ghost say, the spirit girl can lead the power of the palm of her hand to die a tragic ghost like us, I don't know if the spirit girl may help us?" Nan Zhao replied

"You are dead ghosts in this prison, and I am almost dead in this prison, and I can't help myself, how can I help you?"

"The spirit girl doesn't know, she ...... just now"

"Do you want to be ruined, we can't afford to offend him!" The ghost who had been dying tragically wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the ghost next to him.

The ghost immediately stopped, and Nan Zhao didn't know what they were talking about, and he didn't have the heart to guess. At this time, the face of the ghost outside changed greatly, as if he was facing a great enemy to tell her

"Spirit Maiden, here! They're coming! Then he saw two men in night clothes hurrying from that side, and there were shadows on the ground, which proved that they were alive.

The two of them easily opened the cell door, and without saying anything, they came in and strangled a rope around Nan Zhao's neck in an attempt to strangle her to death.

In the midst of suffocation, Nan Zhao's face turned red, she wanted to struggle, but her hands and feet were all tied with chains, and there was no way to escape!

Before a person dies, many profound pictures in his memory will emerge, and at this moment, what Nan Zhao saw in his mind was the face of Shen Rugu in the Qingyun View that day, he said

"No matter how fate treats you, you have to swallow it, you have to endure it, even if it is full of holes, you have to live, until one day, you are strong enough to cover the sky with one hand, and at that time, you are their heaven." I want to live!

Her eyes widened in anger and she cried out in her heart, "I want to live!" I don't know when, the cloth bag on her hand is gone, she seems to see the spiritual flower in the palm of her hand emitting a dazzling red light, she recited the spiritual flower spell with her mind, and the spiritual light flew out of the palm of her hand, covering the tragic ghosts outside, in an instant, those tragic death ghosts and ghosts soared, guided by the power of her spiritual flower, all of them entered through the cell door...... Soon, in the Longxi Mansion where the prince stayed, Meng Gaomeng knocked on the door outside.

Zhou Yang, who was in bed with Liji, heard the sound and asked angrily

"Done?" Meng Gaomeng replied in a low voice

"Something went wrong! She's alive! ”

"What?" Zhou Yang got off Liji angrily, opened the door in disheveled clothes and rushed out.

"The two killers sent to kill her are crazy!" Cat flutter Chinese
