Chapter 33: The Trial (II)

"Well done." Zhang Yuelu used the dust in her hand to help Mu Yan sweep away some dust on her body.

Mu Yan smiled, not flattered. Although the two are different in status and identity, their relationship in private is very good, and they are used to it.

Tian Baobao sent Zhang Yuelu a case file, which was about the specific situation of Qingluanwei's seizure of the courtyard where Bai Xiaojin was imprisoned.

Zhang Yuelu opened the file, glanced at the ten lines, and then walked towards the torture room of the dungeon.

There was no need for her to order, there was a spirit official who followed closely behind Ye Xiu.

The so-called torture room has two doors, a small door for the interrogator to enter and exit, and a large door for the prisoner to enter and exit. The entire torture chamber is also divided into two parts, the larger part is the outer room, which is entered and exited through the door, and is furnished with various torture instruments and records in charge. The smaller part is considered the inner room, which is entered and exited through a small door, separated separately, so that those inside can see the outside, but those outside cannot see the inside.

Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu came to the inner room from the small door, which was also full of tables and chairs, and even a little elegant. The wall facing the outer room was made of some kind of brown crystal, which was slightly dull, but very clear, and could see the whole of the outer room.

In the middle of the outer room is a stone seat that is integrated with the ground, and the two spirit officials put Ye Xiu on the stone chair and fixed Ye Xiu with the iron lock on the stone chair.

Around the stone chair are various torture instruments, which are readily available. Although it has been useless for some years, no one doubts its power.

Qi Xuansu was surprised and said, "You will still use torture?" ”

"Have you forgotten where I came from?" Zhang Yuelu asked rhetorically.

Qi Xuansu said: "Of course I haven't forgotten that you once served in Beichen Hall, but you have a good background and are a Taoist priest in charge, so Beichen Hall won't let you personally take charge of the punishment, right?" ”

Zhang Yuelu had no choice but to admit: "You guessed right, I really don't know how to torture, and I haven't been punished, but Mu Yan understands something." ”

"She?" Qi Xuansu found that Mu Yan did not follow Zhang Yuelu's side from the beginning, but went directly from the gate to the outer room.

Qi Xuansu looked through the crystal wall and saw that Mu Yan had taken off the crane outside, and inside was a well-tailored snow-white robe, bound by a jade-colored belt, highlighting the two graceful curves in front and back, not too ups and downs, nor flat, very smooth and just right.

When Zhang Yuelu promoted Qi Xuansu to be a deacon, Mu Yan ate a lot of flying vinegar, for fear that Qi Xuansu would take her place, so the relationship between Qi Xuansu and Mu Yan was not good, and she didn't even observe her very closely, but she didn't notice that this woman was still very good.

Qi Xuansu turned his head to look at Zhang Yuelu again, dressed in a wide crane, holding a whisk in his hand, elegant, but there are also disadvantages, that is, he is too lenient and can't see anything.

Zhang Yuelu was slightly stunned, then understood, and said, "What are you looking at?" ”

Qi Xuansu coughed lightly and sat down with Zhang Yuelu.

In the outer room, Mu Yan took a whip from the spirit officer's hand, and it can be seen that the whip is full of all kinds of weird talismans and copper coins, compared with ordinary talismans, the handwriting of these talismans is bright red, with teeth and claws, revealing a sense of anger. As for copper coins, they have been rare since Da Xuan launched new coins. It can be seen that the copper coin has the word "Ming Yong", which is the name of the previous dynasty Sejong, which has been more than 300 years ago.

Mu Yan waved her whip and said, "King Ye is well-informed, he should know what this thing is. If King Ye beggars don't know, then it doesn't matter, I can tell King Ye that this is called 'soul hooking whip', the name is clichΓ©, but it is very appropriate, it hits the body, there is no scar, and it doesn't hurt, not to mention the old rivers and lakes like King Ye Beggar, even ordinary women and children can bear it. ”

"It's just that since this whip is called 'soul hooking whip', it naturally has its reason, if a whip is hit on the body, it is equivalent to a whip hitting the soul, and the pain of this soul is more difficult than any flesh and skin pain. At the beginning, I also tried some demons of secret associations, all of whom would rather die than give in, but after being whipped, there was only one sentence left, but I begged to die quickly. ”

"Actually, King Ye Beggar's luck is good, Xu Kou is not there, so he went home to visit his relatives. This person has a nickname in the rivers and lakes, called 'Little Yama', who once abused prisoners to death and was punished and demoted, if he was to be personally punished, he would not be as good to talk as I am. ”

Mu Yan's tone was soft, not like interrogating a prisoner, but like a small persuasion, but Ye Xiu was not a child, he was not frightened by Mu Yan's words, but he could also see from Mu Yan's eyes that she was serious.

Qi Xuansu is not surprised that Mu Yan, who looks a little like a vulgar woman on weekdays, still has such a side, Beichen Hall and Tiangang Hall are known as the two fists of the Daomen, one inside and one outside, they are undisputed violent institutions, how can it be Sven, how can it be the way of forgiveness.

Mu Yan can gain a foothold in Beichen Hall and Tiangang Hall, there must be some means.

Qi Xuansu just kills a lot, but he is not very proficient in these torture methods, if he asks him, at most, he will not say that he will kill you, and at this time, he can only watch Mu Yan play.

Mu Yan's tone changed, no longer peaceful and gentle, but a little calm: "I don't think King Ye will want to give it a try." ”

Ye Xiu was silent and didn't say anything cruel.

All this was seen by Mu Yan.

If it was some people under Ye Xiu, Mu Yan would not have the confidence to pry their mouths open, but Ye Xiu was different, no matter how brave he was in his early years, he had been pampered for so many years, and that blood and courage had already been almost consumed by glory and wealth, and it was very simple to break through from them.

Mu Yan stopped talking and slammed a whip on Ye Xiu's body.

As Mu Yan said, the power of this whip on her body was really ordinary, and she didn't even leave a blood mark.

But at this moment, Ye Xiu's pupils contracted suddenly, and there was a moment of confusion in his eyes.

Mu Yan didn't stop at all, and whipped Ye Xiu's body again.

Ye Xiu seemed to wake up from a nightmare, his face was pale and soaked, and he shouted, "I said." ”

The whip that Mu Yan had already raised stopped in mid-air.

Her hands are equally steady.

The next moment, Qi Xuansu found that the crystal wall in front of him could be raised and lowered.

I don't know what mechanism Zhang Yuelu triggered, the crystal wall slowly sank into the ground, so that there was no barrier between the inside and outside, and Ye Xiu, who was fixed on the stone chair, just faced Zhang Yuelu. Before the crystal wall was lowered, Zhang Yuelu had already put on a pair of high-quality handmade crystal sunglasses, which was also the original function of sunglasses, not to see or shade the sun, but to cover the eyes, so that the prisoner could not see what he was thinking when interrogating the prisoner.

Because Mu Yan was in charge of the execution, Qi Xuansu had no choice but to stand up and walk to the table where he was in charge of recording, and he was in charge of recording.

In fact, there was no need for Zhang Yuelu to speak, Ye Xiu also knew what Zhang Yuelu wanted to know, and directly admitted to helping detain Bai Xiaojin.

Zhang Yuelu asked, "Who caught Bai Xiaojin?" ”

"'Heavenly Court' Fengbo." Ye Xiu replied, "He personally sent Bai Xiaojin to us, after all, he is a celestial, and he has his back to the 'Heavenly Court', I can't afford to provoke him, so I can't help but give him this face." ”

Zhang Yuelu asked again: "In this way, you are old acquaintances, otherwise it would be impossible for Feng Bo to send such an important hostage to a stranger." ”

Ye Xiu had to admit: "Yes, we have had business dealings. ”

"What business?" Zhang Yuelu didn't give Ye Xiu a room to breathe, and then asked.

Ye Xiu hesitated for a moment and said, "It's the business of the courtyard." ”

Zhang Yuelu said: "There are no less than 100 large and small courtyards in Jinling Mansion, all of them have behind-the-scenes bosses, which one is the property of the 'Heavenly Court', you might as well say it all, and I will send someone to seal it up." ”

Ye Xiu was silent.

Mu Yan whipped down again: "Talk back." ”

Ye Xiu had to speak: "It's the Xueyue Courtyard located on Pingyang Street. ”

Zhang Yuelu said: "You should know that we rescued Bai Xiaojin from this courtyard. This is clearly the property in your name, or in other words, the property in the name of the real person behind you, do you want to say that the real person is also a member of the 'Heavenly Court'? ”

Ye Xiu's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "This, this, I have no such intention." ”

Zhang Yuelu said: "I'll give you a chance to confess again." ”

Then she said to Mu Yan: "Beat him three times." ”

Mu Yan was unceremonious, followed by three whips, which made Ye Xiu's face bloodless, and beads of sweat continued to roll down her forehead.

Zhang Yuelu looked at Ye Xiu and said in a calm tone: "Let's talk about it." ”

Ye Xiu slowly lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhang Yuelu, and said slowly: "We are about the business of bulk goods, and the ships are all from the 'Heavenly Court', we are just helping to turn around from them." ”

Zhang Yuelu's upper body leaned forward slightly: "Where did these bulk goods come from?" ”

Ye Xiu said: "This is not something I can know, Deputy Hall Master Zhang should go and ask Uncle Feng." ”
