618 - On the cusp

When Yao Yu heard this, he frowned and looked back at the dead soldiers.

Several people were beaten out of human shape, but their eyes were still bright and firm.

Seeing this situation, Yao Yu also put his mind at ease, just by looking at this, he understood that these dead soldiers would not sell their sheep and sacrifices, and they would not sell themselves.

So, Yao Yu took a step forward and asked, "Who instructed you to assassinate Your Majesty?" ”

Several dead soldiers laughed madly: "Yao Yu, what are you pretending, didn't you instruct us to assassinate Your Majesty?" ”

Yao Yu was taken aback when he heard this, damn, these guys betrayed themselves so simply.

As soon as the thoughts in their hearts landed, the dead soldiers laughed again one by one.

When Zu Yu saw this, he rushed forward angrily and flew over with a kick in the face of the dead man who laughed the most.

followed, Zu Yue jumped like thunder: "Damn bastard, dare to accuse General Yao Jun!" ”

Zu Yue was so excited, but it made Yao Yu breathe a sigh of relief.

Damn, I was scared to death just now, these guys, they didn't say a word in advance, and they almost let themselves leak the stuffing.

Fortunately, with Zu Yue, he didn't think too much about it, and helped to maintain himself.

With this thought, Yao Yu pursed his lips, looked at the dead soldiers faintly, and said: "I like honest people, if you tell me who instructed you to murder Your Majesty, then I may give you a whole corpse." ”

Several dead soldiers pretended to be crazy: "Yao Yu, do you think we will believe your words?" Come, it's a man to give us a good time, don't think about getting any useful information from us. ”

When the words fell, another dead man laughed: "There are virtuous people in the world, and when today's son is weak and ignorant, he will naturally let the virtuous be good." Don't you idiots understand this? ”

Zuyo was even more angry: "Damn, you dare to say it." Lao Tzu slaughtered you! ”

"Ancestral General, slow down."

Just as Zu Yue rushed forward in a rage, Yao Yu let out a low cry and called out to Zu Yue.

The latter looked back at Yao Yu, his face was still full of puzzlement: "General Yao, what's wrong?" ”

Yao Yu pretended to be gloomy and walked out: "I said, kill them, and the clue will be broken." ”

"But, but these bastards won't talk about it at all."

"No, I have a way for them to say it. Go, prepare some buckets and some beds, and tie these people to the beds for me. ”

Zu Yue didn't understand what Yao Yu was going to do, but since Yao Yu said so, he hurriedly did as he was told.

Soon, the bed and bucket were ready.

The dead men were also tied up with hemp ropes.

Immediately afterward, Yao Yu had the bucket pierced under the bucket with steel nails, then filled it with water and hung it above the heads of the dead soldiers.

Zu Yue didn't understand what this was, so he asked Yao Yu suspiciously.

"This is called waterboarding, and it is more terrible than any physical punishment, so I am not afraid that they will not say it."

With that, Yao Yu waved his hand, motioned for everyone to disperse, and then stared at the dead soldiers under the bucket.

Drops of water fell on the foreheads of the dead soldiers, and at first, the dead men did not take it seriously.

But after ten minutes, someone began to twist and try to avoid the falling droplets.

Some of the dead men began to scream, but they could only make a whining sound because they were strangled by the hemp rope.

Yao Yu was still beside him and said, "Don't hold on, say it, I promise to give you a good time." ”

Zu Yue also echoed: "That's it, the left and right are dead, why bother to let yourself be tortured so much." ”

After another ten minutes of verbal assault and waterboarding, the dead men finally could not hold on.

Whimpering at the same time, he also looked at Yao Yu and them with expectant eyes.

Obviously, they can't hold on.

This made Yao Yu couldn't help but look sideways, and said in his heart that this is a dead man.

These dead soldiers knew that the assassination of Sima Chi and their interrogation were just acting, but they still held on for so long, giving people the illusion that they couldn't hold on anymore and confessed.

Realizing this, Yao Yu couldn't help but admire them a little.

When the bucket was removed, Yao Yu asked the culprit behind the scenes for the second time.

These dead soldiers gasped: "Our master is a relative of the Son of Heaven. That's all we can say. If we say more, our family will die. ”

After speaking, these dead soldiers shouted, asking Yao Yu to give him a good time.

Zu Yue was still very nervous: "Son of Heaven clan? Let's go into details, who it is. ”

The dead were silent.

This made Zu Yue angry, and after asking several times and getting no answer, he immediately became furious and drew his sword to kill someone.

"Ancestral General, Stop."

The knife raised by Zu Yue forcibly stopped, and he turned around and looked at Yao Yu suspiciously: "What's wrong, General Yao." ”

"The palace holy land, you can't see blood, Lu Bi."

With Yao Yu shouting, Lu Bi took a step forward: "Lord." ”

"You take some people and take them to a remote place outside the palace and behead them."

When he said these words, Yao Yu also gave Lu Bi a look, and hid his right hand in a position where no one could see it, and made a move to let go.

Although Lu Bi is reckless and wise, he has been by Yao Yu's side for so long, and he still has a tacit understanding with Yao Yu.

Immediately, he nodded, led a few guards and went.

After Lu Bi and them went, Zu Yue was still very puzzled and asked Yao Yu who the clan who assassinated Sima Chi was.

Yao Yu glanced at Zu Yue: "I don't know, but since the general scope is locked, then, if you investigate it again, it won't be so difficult." Go, go back and tell the Queen Mother the news. ”

Zu Yue agreed, and when he looked forward and followed Yao Yu, he still felt that something was wrong, but what was wrong, Zu Yue himself couldn't say.

Soon, Yao Yu led Zu Yue to report the news of the interrogation, and when Yao Yu said this, the scene was not only Yang Xianrong, but also Zu Yi and other loyal civil and military ministers in the city.

When these people learned that it was the closest relatives of the clan who assassinated Sima Chi, they were all frightened.

How, how can this be.

It's all at this time, why is the Sima family still thinking about infighting?

For a time, the hundred officials and the clan kings present defended themselves one after another in order to prove themselves.

Their frightened looks were seen by the sheep, who just wanted to laugh.

Your arguments are superfluous, and from the beginning, I didn't intend to pull you into the water, okay?

No, under Yang Xianrong's superb acting skills, she only used one sentence about this situation, only people with weak hearts will not come, so that everyone's attention was successfully transferred to Sima Yue.

After all, Sima Chi was injured, and all the clan vassal kings in Luoyang City rushed to visit to show their loyalty, but Sima Yue, because he was unhappy with Yao Yu and was afraid that Yao Yu would attack him, chose to wait and see.

It was his choice that directly pushed him to the forefront.
