Chapter 042: Her Reason
Zhan Xiao looked like he didn't ask questions and didn't give up.
Xiao Qi looked at the poison in his hand and quickly figured out a solution in his heart.
Seeing that her expression finally panicked, Zhan Xiao smiled lightly: "You must know that I know a lot about the methods of interrogating people. In the dungeon of Duanguo, those torture instruments are all murderous and do not spit out bones. With a body like yours, any one of them is enough for you to beg me for mercy. ”
Obviously, he was smiling, but Xiao Qi couldn't feel a trace of warmth.
Of course, she knew what the torture instruments in the dungeon looked like. Those methods of interrogating prisoners of war were definitely not something that she, a weak woman, could bear. Often battle-hardened warriors have to be traitors, let alone her.
"But don't worry, I never hurt a woman. As the so-called heavy sentences are more unjustly imprisoned, they are only asked by such extreme means as torture, and they will inevitably not be able to guarantee authenticity and reliability. I want you to be honest with me and tell me the truth more than torture. ”
Zhan Xiao let go of Xiao Qi, and at the same time, the whole person approached her.
Behind Xiao Qi was the pillar of the room, and there was no way to avoid it, so in this way, she was pressed against the pillar by Zhan Xiao.
Zhan Xiao raised his right arm, leaned on top of her head, and looked at her condescendingly.
At this angle, the temperature between his noses can be clearly felt by Xiao Qi.
"I've backed down, so you should be sincere. You should be aware of your situation, and it will not do you any good not to tell the truth. Your life, and the life of your master, are in your own hands. ”
Zhan Xiao's voice was like a ghost from hell, which made people shudder to listen to it.
His skill in interrogating people is indeed excellent, making people have to be obedient and obedient, and even though nothing has happened, it is enough to make people tremble.
"The slave maid really has something unspeakable, and I can't say it clearly...... Xiao Qi lowered his head, and his voice was as weak as a kitten: "The slave and maid don't say it, it's also for the sake of the general......"
Zhan Xiao became more and more interested: "It's such an important thing, then I want to know why." ”
"The slave knows that the general has been in the barracks for many years, and he always does things straightforwardly, and he never knows how to beat around the bush. However, this is the royal capital of Duanguo, and the palace is full of dangers, and the general will inevitably not know the stakes, but the slaves and maids cannot tell the truth. The general saved the slave's life, and the slave and maid were so grateful that they had to advise the general to think carefully, how could I, the most humble slave, get such a delicate pill?"
Xiao Qi's words made Zhan Xiao stunned.
"Truth be told, this poison is made from many precious poisons, and no matter which one of them, a little slave like a slave can easily obtain, let alone fuse these poisons into pills that have no cure. Process by process, layer by layer of purchase and extraction, the general really thinks that the slave has the ability to dominate so many people. ”
"So, behind you must be a rich man, do you want to say this to me?"
Zhan Xiao thought for a while, and said very smartly: "So, this thing is not used against the king, but on Mei Ji." ”
Chang Ji's death, Duan Guo has already come to a conclusion, Zhan Xiao has gone to track down the location of her body, and also found a lot of suspicions on Chang Ji's body.
For example, when she dies violently, her lips are bruised.
For another example, if you die of an epidemic, you need to be burned immediately, and you will not be thrown out of the palace, and if you die of a serious illness, there is no record in the hospital.
After all, Chang Ji is a member of the Hou Mansion, and he should not bear this unreasonable treatment.
There is only one person who can suppress the king and the queen mother.
Zhan Xiao's words not only did not make Xiao Qi feel relaxed, but became even more nervous.
He is not an ordinary general.
At this moment, Xiao Qifang faced up to the terrible situation of Zhan Xiao.
A martial artist who only knows how to dance with swords and guns will not have such delicate observation and insight. She didn't say anything, and Zhan Xiao immediately analyzed the person who instructed her, which showed that he knew everything about the situation inside and outside the palace, and not as she thought, being in the military camp, he didn't know anything about the world.
She couldn't help but think of herself.
Appearing in places where she shouldn't have appeared several times, whether in the eyes of Zhan Xiao, she has been regarded as a key person to watch out for.
is guarded by someone like him, whether her future road will be more difficult.
In an instant, many complicated expressions appeared on Xiao Qi's face.
Zhan Xiao let go of her, and she rubbed her aching wrist. Now, even if she doesn't want to, she has been completely exposed in front of Zhan Xiao.
What she is thinking about now should not be how terrible Zhan Xiao is or how irresistible she is, but how to make Zhan Xiao not expose her eavesdropping on the corner of the wall today for the time being.
In the entire palace, the only one who can make this pill and make the Queen Mother and Xiao Yi jealous is the queen. Xiao Qi's words inadvertently brought out the queen, and also gave a reasonable explanation for his situation.
She didn't want to say this, but Zhan Xiao was too smart to guess her details at once.
That's fine......
Thinking like this, Xiao Qi heard Zhan Xiao continue to ask, "However, this doesn't explain why you are in such a place. ”
Zhan Xiao's logic is still very clear.
He clearly understood that even if the poison was done by the queen, he could not clearly explain why Xiao Qi followed Xiao Yi to Wanhua and Lou. After all, this was arranged by the queen, and the queen would never let a female slave be involved.
Xiao Qi clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, lowered his head and said softly: "Slave maid, I actually came here with the queen's car. It was Mei Ji Niangniang, she felt that the queen and Yu Ji Niangniang went to the Buddhist temple outside the palace to pray for blessings this time, which was very unusual, and she was worried about whether there was any other purpose in this, so she ordered the slave maid to go out of the palace to buy Buddhist paper under the pretext of copying happiness, and to check the movements of the queen Niangniang......"
"Who are you after the queen? ”
"The slave is just a little slave, and she only knows that she should obey the words of her master and do what her master commands. The slave maid didn't expect that the queen would go out of the palace with the king, and still come here...... The slave knew that the king was now seriously ill, and for some reason he appeared here, and when she saw that the man was the king, she had no way to retreat, and was hesitating whether to leave, so she let the general arrest him. Xiao Qi said aggrievedly: "If the slave and maid knew that the queen was doing things for the king, she would definitely not follow up, even if she gave the slave and maid a hundred more dares, the slave and maid would not stand in this courtyard and seek death." ”
Zhan Xiao looked at Xiao Qi, as if thinking about her words.
The jealousy in the court never stops. Xiao Qi gave him a good reason, he could neither ask the two sides for verification, nor could he trust her on it. If what she said was true, everything would make sense, and if what she said was not true, he would not be able to refute it.
This is indeed a big problem for him.
Seeing this, Xiao Qi immediately knelt on the ground: "Please trust the slave and maid, the slave and maid have never had the intention of harming others, and they don't want to die because of this." I hope that the general will be fulfilled and save the lives of the slaves and maids. ”
