Tiandu, Inner City, Spiegel Prison.

Unlike the Jingtian Division, which has branches in the states of Great Xia and even in the outer cities, the Spiegel Division has only one, which is located in the inner city of Tiandu.

The prison of the Spiegel Division is divided into several floors, all of which are underground, the environment is dark and damp, and it is easy to contract various diseases after staying for a long time, even if no punishment is imposed, ordinary people will not be able to live too long here.

At this moment, in an interrogation room in the first floor of the Spiegel Division, Gu Chengfeng had messy hair, was wearing prison uniforms, handcuffs and leg irons, and was locked to the execution rack.

On either side of him, a jailer was standing, staring at him with a grim face, the torture instrument in his hand was covered with blood, drop after drop to the ground.

In front of Gu Chengfeng, Liu Ningyuan had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and sat there peacefully, admiring Gu Chengfeng's tragic situation.

On the table, there was also a page of paper, which was a confession that Liu Ningyuan had already prepared.

"Gu Chengfeng, there are two ways in front of you now, either you obediently confess your guilt and draw the detention, or after being tortured, I will help you confess and detain the detention, the first one, you can suffer less, the second one, you know." Liu Ningyuan said casually.

Gu Chengfeng has been tortured for a long time, and he has long lost any strength, if it weren't for the torture instruments to torture him here, he would have fallen long ago.

Hearing Liu Ningyuan's words, Gu Chengfeng smiled coldly, he has been an official for many years, where do he not know these twists and turns, after entering here, it doesn't matter whether he admits his guilt or not, whether he draws or not, because the Spiegel Division has a hundred or even a thousand ways to make him draw a charge, Liu Ningyuan said this, it is nothing more than trying to torture him and destroy the last line of defense in his heart.

Liu Ningyuan just wanted to see Gu Chengfeng wagging his tail at him and begging for mercy, begging him to spare his life and let him say these words, once he said it, Liu Ningyuan's goal would be achieved.

Seeing Gu Chengfeng's appearance that he didn't enter, Liu Ningyuan snorted coldly and said: "I can't see it, you are the commander of the Imperial Sword Guard in the outer city of Tiandu, a seven-rank petty official, but you are quite backbone, but unfortunately, this is the Mirror Division Prison, and none of the people who came in could get out alive." ”

Then, Liu Ningyuan shook his head slightly, sighed, and pretended to say: "Do you know that a little person like you is a grain of sand in the desert, inconspicuous, I don't know how many people have to be executed in the Spiegel Division Prison every year, not to mention, you buy and sell officials, this is a serious crime, even if you are a prince and minister, you can't escape the life of beheading, you are just a seven-grade official, it is better to admit your guilt obediently and accept it calmly, of course, you can choose to beg for mercy, I am a very talkative person, maybe I am in a good mood, It will make you suffer less flesh and skin. ”

Gu Chengfeng was silent, he knew what Liu Ningyuan meant by this, this was telling him that even if he Gu Chengfeng was killed here today, no one would ask, except for a limited number of people, no one could know what was going on here, after all, he Gu Chengfeng was indeed insignificant, and no one could seek justice for him.

In fact, as early as when he entered the prison of the Spiegel Division, he Gu Chengfeng never thought about getting out alive, the only thing he thought about now was to hope that he would not affect his wife, daughter, and nephew.

Liu Ningyuan sat there with Shi Ran, stared at Gu Chengfeng, and said expressionlessly: "Why, do you still want to persevere, refuse to admit your guilt, and are not willing to beg for mercy?" ”

Gu Chengfeng's face was cold and hard, and he said, "Why should I confess what I haven't done?" ”

"Tsk."

Liu Ningyuan shook his head, he waved his hand, and asked the two jailers to retreat first, and after the two came out of the interrogation room, he got up and came to Gu Chengfeng, and whispered in his ear: "Of course I know that you are innocent." ”

Hearing this, Gu Chengfeng's eyes suddenly froze, and Huo turned his head to look at Liu Ningyuan.

Liu Ningyuan looked directly at Gu Chengfeng and said lightly: "All this is a bureau set up by me, but it is not just for you, but for your entire Gu family." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Ningyuan's face sank, his eyes looked at Gu Chengfeng with hideous eyes, and said viciously: "Your nephew beat my only son to a serious injury, and he is still lying unconscious on the bed until now, my son's martial arts have been abandoned for most of the way, you say, do I want to retaliate, I don't just want to retaliate against you, I want to take revenge on your entire Gu family, especially your nephew, I want to make him worse than dead, don't worry, it won't be long before he will come in to accompany you." ”

"You!"

When Gu Chengfeng heard this, he was immediately furious, he kept struggling, and there were bursts of clambling sounds from the handcuffs and shackles on his body, while Liu Ningyuan stood aside, looking at him coldly.

"Blame it, blame your damn nephew, if it weren't for that, how could I, as a second-level mirror holder, deal with you with such fanfare, a sword guard commander who is only a mere seventh?"

"Whew!"

Gu Chengfeng sprayed a mouthful of blood foam directly on Liu Ningyuan's face, and said angrily: "Looking at your appearance, you will know what kind of behavior your son is, if you have a father, you must have a son, Da Lang has done a good job, if it were me, it would only be heavier and more ruthless than Da Lang, your son deserves it!" ”

"Look for death!"

Liu Ningyuan's face was ruthless, and when he raised his hand, he slapped Gu Chengfeng's side, only to hear a click, and his palm directly broke several ribs of Gu Chengfeng.

Gu Chengfeng's face was resolute, extremely hard, gritted his teeth, and stared at Liu Ningyuan viciously, but he didn't say a word.

Liu Ningyuan wiped the blood on his face, his face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Pretend, I hope that in the end, you can still have such backbone, you can rest assured, after you die, your nephew will accompany you soon, as for your wife and daughter, hum, I will help you take care of your life." ”

In the end, a grim smile appeared on Liu Ningyuan's face.

"You scumbag, I'll fight with you!"

Hearing Liu Ningyuan's words, Gu Chengfeng's eyes suddenly turned red, he gritted his teeth, and tried his best to break free from the shackles on his body and fight hard with Liu Ningyuan.

Liu Ningyuan looked at this scene indifferently and said, "I have already told your wife and daughter, as long as the two of them are willing to be at my mercy, they can save your life, you say, will your wife and daughter agree?" ”

"Ahh

Gu Chengfeng kept roaring, his brain was congested, and as he continued to struggle, many wounds on his body that had stopped bleeding collapsed again, and blood splashed out.

Liu Ningyuan was expressionless, ignored Gu Chengfeng, turned around and left directly.

……

Outer city, Gu Mansion.

At this moment, it was close to dusk, and it was time for dinner, but no one in the Gu family was in the mood to eat, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely dull.

Xu Qing'e sat there, but in one day, her face was a lot haggard, and her face lacked blood, and since she woke up, she had been sitting here, without saying a word, without a drop of water.

Gu Qingyan sat next to Xu Qing'e, seeing her mother like this, and then thinking that her father was very likely to be suffering, she pursed her lips and was silent for a long time, as if she had made some kind of decision, and said softly: "Mother, or not, I ...... it."

Xu Qing'e didn't know what her daughter was thinking, so she directly interrupted Gu Qingyan, and said in an extremely resolute tone: "No, I won't let you do that, I can't sacrifice you no matter what, if things really come to that point, I still have ......"

In the end, Xu Qing'e's palms were trembling slightly.

"Mother......

Gu Qingyan bit her red lips tightly, seeing her mother's demeanor, she couldn't hold on any longer, like pearl-like tears rolling down from her eyes.

At this moment, Xu Qing'e could no longer pretend to be strong, tears slipped from her eyes, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and kept sobbing.

Seeing this, the maids and subordinates on the side also stood there secretly wiping their tears, they have been in the Gu Mansion for many years, and Gu Chengfeng's family has treated them very well, and now they know that the Gu Mansion is in trouble, and they are all uncomfortable.

The entire Gu Mansion was immersed in a sad atmosphere at the moment.

I don't know how long it took before the crying gradually stopped.

"Don't worry, Qingyan, everything will pass, and it will be fine." Xu Qing'e stroked Gu Qingyan's long hair and comforted softly.

"Mother, really, will everything be fine, will my father come back?" Gu Qingyan, who was in Xu Qing'e's arms, raised her head and looked at Xu Qing'e with teary eyes.

"Yes, it will be fine." Xu Qing'e had tears in her eyes and kept nodding her head, as if she was comforting herself.

"By the way, and the eldest brother, should we tell the eldest brother, the eldest brother will have a way, right?" Thinking of Gu Shen, who served in Jingtiansi, Gu Qingyan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Xu Qing'e shook her head, she followed Gu Chengfeng for a long time, she still knew something, not to mention that Jingtiansi and Mingjing Division were two institutions, Gu Shen was just a first-order patrol envoy of Jingtiansi, and that Liu Ningyuan, Xu Qing'e also saw the official uniform that day, and knew that it was a second-level mirror holder, she still knew very well the weight of a second-level mirror holder, and this matter was not something that Gu Shen could solve at all.

Moreover, in Xu Qing'e's opinion, Gu Shen is stubborn, if he learns about this, it is very likely that he will not be able to control his temper and forcibly go to Liu Ningyuan for revenge, which is tantamount to an egg hitting a stone, and in this way, Liu Ningyuan's goal will be achieved.

Now that Gu Chengfeng has had an accident, Xu Qing'e doesn't want even Gu Shen to have an accident, if she can, she would rather Gu Shen never know about it.

Hearing this, Gu Qingyan's eyes instantly dimmed again.

"Qingyan, you remember, you must not tell your eldest brother about this matter, and you must not let him know about it, understand?" Xu Qing'e said with a solemn expression.

"I see." Gu Qingyan said in a low voice.

At this time, the door of Gu's mansion was pushed open, and Xu Qing'e and Gu Qingyan heard the sound, like frightened rabbits, staring at the door extremely nervously, thinking that Liu Ningyuan was coming again.

But in the next second, when a familiar figure appeared at the door, the hearts of the two suddenly relaxed.

Gu Shen walked into the Gu Mansion, he was keenly aware that the atmosphere in the mansion was not right, especially the eyes of his aunt Xu Qing'e and his sister Gu Qingyan were red, and he immediately frowned.

"What's the matter, did something happen during my absence?"
