Closing the net
Late at night, the Ministry of Punishment.
Dungeon.
Walking all the way, the sticky and greasy feet were stained with flesh and dirt, and the closer I got closer, the more the smell of rot came to my face.
You don't stop until you go deepest.
The man who was locked up in the depths raised his head when he heard the footsteps, and he frowned:
"Who are you?"
The man in the clothes of a patrol guard motioned for Chen Ye to come closer, and said a few words in his ear.
Chen Ye looked at him with wide eyes.
At this moment, there was a burst of fire outside.
A cold voice struck, "Take it." β
Suddenly, the man and Chen Ye showed a panicked look.
After a moment, a mouthful of blood protruded from the man's mouth and fell straight down.
The people accompanying him immediately stepped forward to check, "My lord, he took poison and swallowed his breath." β
Nie Yuan's eyebrows cooled a little, and then he motioned to carry the person out.
He said coldly: "Check, the identity of this person." β
"Yes, sir."
The men on the side dragged the body down.
Nie Yuan's subordinate, Chen Sizhe looked at the corpse and sighed:
"My lord, you are really far-sighted, knowing that someone is going to come to the Criminal Department to do tricks in the past few days, so you have laid a net in advance."
Chen Ye, who was still in prison, suddenly showed a panicked look.
Nie Yuan's cold voice pierced into Chen Ye's ears.
"Lord Chen, who was that person just now? What did they say to you? β
Chen Ye hurriedly waved his hand and denied: "I don't know, Master Nie, I don't know anything, I don't know him." β
"The officer knows that you don't know him, and the officer asks you, what did he say to you?"
"I... I..."
Chen Ye had an extremely panicked expression on his face, and he begged, "Lord Nie, spare my life, I really don't know anything." I don't know that Ruan Fang was wronged, and there were human and material evidence at that time. XiaguanΒ·Β·Β· At most, it is a crime of negligence, and it will not hurt your family, Lord Nie. β
He also has a son and a daughter who are still in infancy, and he doesn't want to die.
Nie Yuan squatted down in front of him, with a hint of cold threat in his eyebrows.
"Lord Chen doesn't want to hurt his family, so he will be recruited from the truth, confessed and lenient. In the past few days that Lord Chen has been in the Criminal Department, Nie has not lynched Lord Chen, if Lord Chen doesn't talk about it again, no one knows the methods of the Criminal Department better than Lord Chen. β
Chen Ye was originally a member of the Criminal Department, and he had seen how cruel the methods of the Criminal Department were.
"Nope! Don't, Master Nie. β
Chen Ye swallowed his saliva, a drop of cold sweat fell on his forehead, and his face was extremely pale.
These days he is in the criminal department, and he has been terrified when Chen Ye will execute him, he hears the sound of those ghosts crying and wolf howling next door every day, and he has never slept soundly for a day.
Chen Ye's hand clenched the cell door tightly, "There is no disaster!" Lord Nie, haven't you always been impartial and never careless of human life? What you haven't done is what you haven't done, how do you let Chen recruit. β
His pale face cried like a ghost.
Nie Yuan stood up, "Lord Chen, it is precisely because Nie has always been impartial that he did not lynch you. A few days ago, someone in the criminal department poisoned you, and you said you didn't know why. Today, someone came to approach you without permission. You say, how can people believe that you and Lord Nguyen have no knowledge of the corruption case. β
"I..."
"Lord Chen, Nie just wants to know now, what did that person say to you?"
Nie Yuan's hands hung down weakly, he knew that someone had already calculated the two things before and after to let him into the trap.
But no, he can't say, he doesn't say that he dies alone, if he does, his family has to die.
As if seeing what he was thinking, Nie Yuan said in a deep voice: "Lord Chen, your family is now in the Criminal Department, you can rest assured. β
What!
Chen Ye immediately said with a light in his eyes:
"Nie... Lord Nie, what do you say? My family? In the Criminal Department? Are my wife and children well? β
"Alright."
"Can you let me see me?"
"Master Chen..."
Nie Yuan interrupted him, "The Criminal Department has the rules of the Criminal Department. But Nie's personality Lord Chen should know that Nie guarantees that your family will never have an accident. β
Chen Ye nodded, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It's okay, it's good that it doesn't fall into the hands of others.
In the hands of the imperial court, the saint is benevolent and will not anger his family.
He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.
"Good! I say! β
Nie Yuan sneered.
"Someone, remember."
Chen Ye wiped the cold sweat on his face, flattened his chest, and then said:
"That person, give it to me... One thing. β
"Something."
Chen Ye took out a pill from his arms.
Chen Sizhe stepped forward to take the medicine and tried it with a silver needle.
"My lord, it's poison."
Nie Yuan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "He gave you poison to make you commit suicide?" β
Chen Ye nodded.
"He said that all my family had fallen into the hands of his master, and if I hadn't committed suicide, my family would not have survived tomorrow."
Nie Yuan gradually raised his eyes.
"Come on, close the net."
"Yes!"
Nie Yuan's eyes were dark for a while, and shallow for a while.
What a tranquility!
Foolproof.
This afternoon, he received a letter from the Punishment Department with an address on it.
That address was where the Chen family was hiding.
After Ruan Fang's case was reported, Ye Shen did not take Chen Ye into custody, but Chen Ye was afraid that it would make a big fuss afterwards, so he arranged his family to a mountain village outside the city in advance.
Thinking of this, Nie Yuan's eyes darkened a little.
He had also checked the current residence of the Chen family, but as a member of the Criminal Department, he could not move his family at will without a holy decree, so he had no choice but to do it later.
It's just that I didn't expect to receive a message from An Ning this afternoon, and I had a plan.
A boudoir woman, involved in such a dark situation, what does she want?
Or what exactly is she trying to do? Which side of the hell is it?
What does she have to do with her husband?
At this moment, Chen Yeyi will come over.
He said anxiously: "My lord, what is the net?" My family, is it not in the Criminal Department? β
"Don't worry, this official promises that your family will not lose a single hair."
Tonight, it's really just a fraud against Chen Ye.
As early as the afternoon, the people of the Criminal Department surrounded the Chen family's residence.
Sure enough, after Chen Ye's accident, a killer went to find the Chen family.
Around the clock, someone came to report the news.
"My lord, the Chen family is safe. It's just... There were only two alive left, and they had poison in their teeth and mouths, and they took the poison the moment they took it, and only two of them were stopped quickly. β
Nie Yuan nodded, "Very good, two is enough." Look, don't let people die. β
"Yes, sir!"
Chen Ye collapsed on the prison door in a sweat, "It's okay, it's okay." He cried, "My lord, who is it that wants the life of my whole family?" β
"Don't you know who wants your life, Lord Chen. You say you don't know anything, but the people behind it want you to know everything. β
