The edict prison, which had been silent for a while, is lively again today.

The flickering yellow candle flame is reflected on the wall, stretching and distorting the shadow of the person, and at first glance the ghostly shadows, coupled with the screams one after another, are even more terrifying.

Chu Wuxian's footsteps stopped at the door, and he didn't continue to move forward, and the brocade guard with the lantern was stunned for a moment, and looked at him suspiciously: "My lord? ”

Chu Wuxian lowered his eyes and said, "It's okay, you go first." ”

Jin Yiwei wanted to speak and stopped, but seeing that Chu Wuxian had no intention of leaving, he had to take the first step.

When there was no one around, Chu Wuxian took off the jade pendant, and his voice was warm: "The wronged princess will stay in the minister's clothes for a while, the edict will be bloody and dirty, and I am afraid that the princess's eyes will be dirty." ”

Xie Shuangge waved his hand indifferently: "It's not that I haven't seen it, I really can't stand it, I can close my eyes, I don't want to see it in the dark." ”

Chu Wuxian was stunned for a moment, remembering that he had taken Yu Pei into a prison once before, and pursed his lips, "Okay." ”

There had already been a round of torture in the prison, and there were three people tied to the torture rack, and there were several kneeling with their hands tied behind them, trembling, obviously frightened.

Xie Shuangge glanced at it and fell on the tall back with his back to them.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man turned around, there was still a fierce aura in his eyes, and seeing that it was Chu Wuxian, the man relaxed, and his expression was slightly restrained, "He Chaoming has seen my lord." ”

Xie Shuangge is not very familiar with the people of Jinyiwei, she only knows Chu Wuxian and Cong Shangyun, this He Chaoming, she has seen it for the first time.

The figure is tall and strong, with a slightly dark complexion, a hard contour, and a single eyelid, which is a little gloomy and difficult to mess with.

It has nothing to do with his name.

"Have you explained?" Chu Wuxian didn't talk nonsense and got straight to the point.

He Chaoming stepped back, threw away the whip in his hand, moved a chair over for Chu Wuxian to sit down, and sneered: "These people have very soft bones, but their mouths are hard. ”

Xie Shuangge: "......" doesn't need to be so detailed.

Chu Wuxi: "......"

Usually these people are not taboo, they are all big men, and they can turn to that file when they talk about it, although he doesn't say it, but he won't stop them, after all, this group of people can only talk about it, they are usually so busy that they want to live and die, how can they really do something?

If you don't even say it, it's too harsh.

But...... It's different now, he also hides a golden and precious master in this jade pendant.

He raised his hand to cover the jade pendant, coughed and frowned at He Chaoming, "Don't talk nonsense." ”

He Chaoming was stunned, why is the adult so angry tonight?

"The guys from Yuelai Gambling House explained that they didn't know where Meng Changji went, but they knew that there were people on Meng Changji." He Chaoming said as he handed the confession in his hand to Chu Wuxian: "My lord, please take a look." ”

Chu Wuxian took it and glanced at it, thinking that Xie Shuangge couldn't see it, so he read it out, "Meng Changji has no parents and brothers, he opened a shop in Jindu alone, he is twenty-five years old, and he often meets with a man in black and a mask on the third floor of Yuelai Casino, his specific identity is unknown, it is said that he is the real owner of the casino, and Meng Changji obeys his orders......"

There were not many confessions, and it could be seen that these guys didn't know much about Meng Changji, but he still didn't give up and asked, "Gone?" ”

He Chaoming nodded: "No, they said that the person came from the back door tightly every time he came, they didn't know what he looked like, and he didn't know how big it was, the man's voice was hoarse, and he probably did it." ”

Chu Wuxian's fingertips tapped on the confession, and he turned his head to look at the few people tied to the shelf, "What else do you say?" ”

The half-dead guys cried and begged for mercy: "My lord, the little ones really don't know, Meng Changji gives him money, we will do things for him, and we don't know anything else, we don't dare to inquire about the affairs of the master's family!" ”

Chu Wuxian didn't speak, stood up and looked around, and suddenly asked, "What about the person I asked to send before?" ”

He Chaoming said: "Inside, I just passed the trial, he said that he was a thief, he came out to steal things today, but he didn't steal it, he was almost beaten, and his clothes were ripped off when they were fighting." ”

"You believe it?" Chu Wuxian raised his eyebrows, and walked forward over the bloody water.

He Chaoming hugged his arms and said: "I don't believe it, the holes in his pants are obviously burned, and looking at his walking and standing posture, he should be a practitioner, but his subordinates didn't have time to ask more, and the group of people from Yuelai Gambling House came, and his subordinates dealt with them first." ”

Chu Wuxian didn't speak, his eyes were gloomy.

Tonight's series of events connected made him have a guess, as for whether it is true or not, he must meet this "thief".

……

Qin Lie was locked up in the Imperial Prison, passing by many cells along the way, Xie Shuangge squinted and couldn't see anything clearly, I don't know if it was to save or scare people, there was only one light here far away, drowsy, making people nervous, and I was afraid that something would suddenly come out of a corner.

The prisoners were lying or sitting half-dead, and when they heard the movement, they only glanced up at them, and then they did not make any further moves, and did not make a sound.

Until they arrived in front of Qin Lie's cell.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Qin Lie jumped up from the ground, grabbed the iron bar with his shackled hands and shouted, "The grass people are really wronged!" Adult-sir, let the grass people out, although the grass people are a thief, the grass people haven't stolen it yet! ”

"Really?" A faint rhetorical question made Qin Lie's cry freeze for a moment.

Isn't this the guy I met by the river before?!

Qin Lie looked over in horror and saw He Chaoming followed by the red-clothed and beautiful Chu Wuxi.

Chu Wuxian was also looking at him, his eyes were playful, "Thief? ”

Qin Lie came back to his senses, slapped his thigh and was about to howl, Chu Wuxie's face changed suddenly, and he said firmly: "It's not easy for you to come all the way from southern Xinjiang to Jindu to steal things." ”

Xie Shuangge was taken aback: "He is from southern Xinjiang?" ”

Qin Lie's hand holding the iron bar couldn't help but loosen, his heart trembled but he still pretended to be calm, licked his dry lips and said, "What are you talking about, my lord?" What Southern Xinjiang? The grass people are native to Dayan! ”

"As soon as you open your mouth, you can't hide the taste of southern Xinjiang, let's say, who is your master? What is your relationship with Meng Changji? ”

Chu Wuxian pressed forward step by step, Qin Lie's scalp was numb, and when he heard the words "Meng Changji", he couldn't help but hold his breath.

"My lord, did you recognize the wrong person? The grass people don't know what Meng Changji ......"

"If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears, He Chaoming - drag him out and put him to be punished, and then put the eleven corpses sent by the Royal Forest Army in front of him, so that he can take a good look at how his accomplices died."

Qin Lie's face really changed this time.

Don't try to fool Xiao Chu, Xiao Chu is smart
