Chapter 50: A Good Show
Metropolitan Protectorate
Mu Yu'an has already assigned a group of Xiliang troops to control the city gate, and no one is allowed to leave the city, and then Lao Yu and You Qingyun will lead other Xiliang troops to surround the prefect's mansion.
Since the prefect Yu learned that 10,000 Xiliang troops had entered the city and controlled the main road out of the city, he knew that the big event had gone, and he had no intention of resisting.
"Yu He, corrupt and perverted the law, secretly colluded with foreign enemies, and is now imprisoned for the crime of treason, and all the people in the whole government are in custody pending trial."
A commander in the Xiliang army looked at Yu He condescendingly and coldly, and then put on heavy iron chains and shackles on the family members and soldiers behind him.
Because it was carried out late at night, it did not wake up many people along the street, but the next day, the matter spread throughout Lechuan City, and the people saw the notice.
Mu Yu'an imprisoned all the five eight-rank masters separately, and their limbs were firmly controlled by four thick iron chains, and there was an appropriate amount of cartilage powder in the daily meal to prevent the eight-rank masters from recovering their internal strength.
In the prefect's office, because the Metropolitan Protectorate was burned down, he could only temporarily stay here to discuss the next interrogation.
"Qingyun, the next thing is how to make them speak, say who is behind the scenes, and hide the deeper inner response here, we Xiliang Army are all brave and good at fighting, but we have no experience in interrogation."
Mu Yu'an sat on the middle hall, and there were ten commanders of the Xiliang Army standing below, all of whom were really iron-clad men, and from the subtleties of their words and deeds, it could be seen that this Xiliang Army was strictly disciplined.
"It's all my own people, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
You Qingyun pondered for a moment, and after turning his eyes around, he hesitated a little, and when he saw that Mu Yu'an had said this, he blurted out.
"Let Yu He try those eight-grade masters, starting with Su Lie, the landlord, and find out what we want, we can spare his family for the death penalty, and if there is a major meritorious service, his death sentence can be commuted, but just in case, the prison must be all from our Xiliang Army."
After Mu Yu'an listened, her tight brows suddenly relaxed, and her delicate jade hand patted the table, when it was decided.
After five days
Deep in the prison of the government office
No matter how vicious a person is, when he is put in prison, he will be afraid even if he has a hard mouth, and it is full of blood, cold, dampness, and filth. Su Lie's legs were coagulated bloodstains, his clothes were slightly open, revealing bloodstained skin, his hands and feet were chained, and he could only move in a limited range, but today he was curled up in a dark corner, his eyes were gray eyes that had lost their light, and his chapped lips were covered with layers of dandruff.
The cell door opened gently, and his body trembled slightly, and he looked vigilantly at the person who walked in, and saw the person's face clearly, and a feeling of suffocation that he had never felt before hit his whole body. You Qingyun, who was dressed in white, had lonely cold and indifferent eyes, which were full of cold, and slowly approached him, slowly squatting down and looking at Su Lie, the curvature of the corners of his mouth slowly raised.
"Master Su Liesu, are you waiting for your people to come and save you? What's the point of resisting, you may not know the situation in Lechuan City now, if I am the person behind you, it must be much easier to secretly kill you quietly and make you shut up forever than to rescue you, Lord Yu, you come and talk to him. ”
Yu He, who was standing behind You Qingyun, heard this, and hurriedly bowed down and responded:
"There are now 10,000 Xiliang troops stationed in Lichuan City, and the Holy Messenger has decreed that Mu Shuai has full authority to deal with it, and there will be 50,000 expeditionary troops to join the town guard of Xiliang Pass in the near future, even if ten or even twenty eight products come, they can't save you, Master Su, those who know the times are Junjie."
At this moment, a heart-rending woman's voice came from another cell.
"Ahhh
This person was the woman who received a crossbow arrow on her bewitching foot that night, and she screamed because of the severe pain, but it was just in vain, and her frightened eyes could no longer live up to the demeanor of the top eight masters of the night.
Li Jian was under the supervision of Xiliangjun at this time, interrogating this person, only to see him raise his eyebrows and sneer: "If you don't tell your identity and the person behind you, don't blame me for destroying the flowers, don't you like to be condescending and cold that night?" No one will save you. ”
After speaking, he walked into another cell, and Mu Yu'an also gave him a chance to atone for his sins, and the wicked need the wicked to grind.
Li Jian's laughter gradually faded away, leaving her alone trembling, the nightmare continued, she didn't know if what Su Lie said was true, if she really said that person, not only would they die, but none of the relatives behind them could escape, she could only grit her teeth and insist, hoping that the person could send someone to save her.
You Qingyun looked at the other man wearing a golden mask huddled in the corner, he was also panicked at this time, and the well-defined ones did not have the casualness and arrogance of the night, Yu He stood beside You Qingyun, coldly looking at the frightened eyes of the middle-aged man and the mouth that was slightly open like a black hole, struggling silently.
So far, none of the five people has opened their mouths to say a word, even if it is a name.
Li Jian also ran over at this time and asked the jailer to open the door, but the two did not enter, he reached out and grabbed the middle-aged man's hand, raised his eyes and sneered, "Take it over there, it's too dark here." ”
The man didn't know where the other side of her mouth was, but when she saw the wooden frame of torture equipment on the other side of the cell, her body trembled violently, and her mouth opened wide and she screamed silently, and her heart was clear.
The shocking torture instruments are readily available, neatly placed, exuding a faint cold light, and it is obvious that this is a brand new set of torture instruments. As he had been last time, he was still tied to the crosspost, his swarthy face almost contorted with horror.
"Name your name, organize and direct the people behind it." You Qingyun's cold words kept his eyes on the person on the cross pillar.
"Come on, aren't you going to die? If we really say it, you people will all die. ”
The middle-aged man laughed like crazy.
You Qingyun shook his head, didn't say a word, just waved his hand and walked out of the cell, Yu He asked the jailer to present a short dagger the size of a palm to Li Jian, the short dagger in the palm of his hand came with a burst of coldness, it must have been very sharp, and the silver cold light could reflect his excited and twisted appearance at this time under the illumination of the stove.
Slowly stepped forward, sliding the small dagger gently on his dirt-stained face, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a heart-stopping chuckle, "Then don't say it, I want to see how hard you are, I hope you can carry the eighteen torture instruments." ”
With a fierce force, the strength of his hands became heavier and heavier, and the knife was almost deep enough to see the bones.
The blood spots splashed by the scarlet blood stained Li Jian's face, his hands, his whole body, exuded a strong smell of blood, and when he came back to his senses, the person in front of him had fainted to death, and his trembling body made him suddenly wake up, and shouted outward: "Call the doctor to heal, don't let him die."
The cold wind from the northwest tore through the floating clouds and also tore the whole autumn mood, and there were occasionally a few passers-by on the streets of the capital.
……
East Palace
"Your Highness, the operation has failed, they are being locked up in the government prison in Lechuan City, 10,000 Xiliang troops are stationed in the city, and the Shengshang also secretly dispatched 50,000 troops to the Northern Expedition to Xiliangguan, and our news is two days later than the Shengshang."
After the crown prince Nanxu heard Yu Yan's words, he got up and walked to the front of the palace gate, looking at the stone steps outside the hall, there was a white snow on the square, covering the entire East Palace.
His face seemed to be more bitten than the cold wind outside the hall at this time, and the hands behind him were clenched and gurgling.
"Will the five of them..."
Nan Xu naturally understood what Yu Yan was going to say, released his clenched fingers again, and said calmly:
"No, all of their relatives and friends are under our control, not to mention the death of one, to say..."
Nan Xu said at the end, the corners of his fair mouth smiled coldly, then looked at Yu Yan, and said in a calm voice:
"Start the shadows, kill them all! Compensate their families afterwards. ”
"And the people on the ledger are dealt with, don't leave evidence."
Yu Yan replied and withdrew from the hall.
The northwest corner of the Royal Palace
"You look at the snow outside the hall, what are you laughing at, what are you happy about, share."
Hearing this, Nan Yu took the princess beside him into his arms, lowered his head and gently kissed the woman's forehead, and then raised his eyes to look in one direction, as if he had forgotten to see Wang Chuancheng, and said softly:
"There's a drama going on, it's exciting."
After hearing this, the princess in her arms gave him a blank look, and Nan Yu said again:
"My big brother! It's very busy in Xiliangguan! Now that the matter has been revealed, it should be busy again, and the father secretly dispatched 50,000 troops to Xiliangguan a few days ago, which scared off 100,000 Huns. ”
"So what do you want to do next?"
Nan Yu did not respond to the princess's words immediately, lightly and slowly clasped her hands around her chest, and then said softly:
"How? Of course, it's a play, but if it's involved, my father is an arbitrary person, and sometimes he doesn't tell the evidence. ”
The Imperial Study
"Wang Zhi, you quietly arrange a few people to keep an eye on Nan Xu and Nan Yu for me, and tell me about the daily situation of the two of them."
Wang Zhi, the commander of Yulinwei, stood in place, his face did not change, but he was actually in a dilemma, and asked him to monitor the two noble people of the East Palace Prince and the Second Prince, and he was also stunned in his heart.
"Commander Wang, your face..."
Just as Commander Wang walked out of the steps of the imperial study, Luo Feiyun, who was walking towards him, saw Wang Zhi's face a little pale at a glance, and Wang Zhi could only smile and leave with his fists clenched.
Luo Feiyun smiled, and also felt a little empathy, a companion is like a tiger!
"Luo Feiyun, you take a few eight-rank masters to run a trip to Xiliangguan for me, and secretly help Yu'an, in case someone jumps off the wall in a hurry."
Luo Feiyun bowed his head and bowed solemnly when he heard this, and exited the imperial study.
