Chapter XVI Interrogation

"Father-in-law Su!"

Zhang Chongshan saw Su Shan appear, his brows furrowed, and he greeted him with some reluctance on his face, and when the two met, he arched his hand and said,

"You came here, I got an order this morning to investigate the murder of the Queen Mother with you, and you are fully responsible, I will cooperate from the side, congratulations, how long has it been since I got the trust of the Queen Mother, more powerful than Zhang. ”

Commander Zhang laughed. ”

Su Shan noticed the resistance in Zhang Chongshan's tone, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, this Zhang Chongshan really has no mind, he was grateful to himself for saving face for him yesterday, and today he learned that he robbed him of his responsibility, so he immediately showed this sour appearance.

However, Su Shan knew in his heart that this guy was the nephew of the Queen Mother, so he had to give him face, and his foundation was still shallow, and he still needed the latter's help to investigate this matter, so he had to maintain this guy well, he smiled, came to Zhang Chongshan's side, and said in a low voice,

"Commander Zhang doesn't have to worry about this matter, Gonggong Wen told me, this matter was originally intended to make you responsible, but after all, you are the commander of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, mainly responsible for those guards, it's okay to arrest people, if you are fully responsible for this kind of thing, it is not in accordance with the rules, but Gonggong Wen specially explained to me, mainly based on your opinion!"

"Did he really say that?"

When Zhang Chongshan heard this, the look on his face finally changed a lot, he looked at Su Shan as if he was lying, hesitated, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile,

"Father-in-law Su, you're too worried, haha, I already knew that my aunt wouldn't treat me like this, she still trusts me quite a lot, she does it for my good, I understand, how can I be angry with you because of this kind of thing, haha, let's go and see those two guys together!"

"Commander Zhang, please!"

Su Shan looked at this guy whose face changed faster than the day in June, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, just this little thought, it was really not enough for him to see, he shook his head slightly, he followed behind Zhang Chongshan, and walked towards the depths of the prison.

"Commander Zhang, Gonggong Su, it's not good, something happened!"

Just when the two of them walked out not far away, a nervous shout suddenly came from behind them, the two stopped, and a Teng Xiang camp guard ran to the front with an anxious face, and said,

"News came from the imperial dining room this morning that Chen Ting, the chief manager, hanged himself last night. ”

"What? He's dead?"

Zhang Chongshan's face changed suddenly, his eyes widened, he glanced at Su Shan, and said in a panic,

"What can I do about this? He stopped us so much that day, and the matter of poisoning the Queen Mother must have something to do with him, as soon as he dies like this, all our clues will be broken, how can we investigate in the future? Hey, I knew that I should have been arrested last night, and now that he is dead, how can we ......?"

Su Shan's face didn't change much, he was still so calm, he had expected last night that Chen Ting would definitely not live this morning, even if he didn't die, then Hu Yong would let him die, if Hu Yong didn't even have this little means, how could he stay so long under the Empress Dowager Zhang?

"Commander Zhang, don't be impatient!"

Smiling lightly, Su Shan tugged Zhang Chongshan's arm and said in a low voice,

"Let's go and interrogate Shao Dahai and the eunuch Zhao Shi first, maybe we can find some other clues. ”

"What other clues can there be? This matter can't hide from Chen Ting at all, he is dead, our clues must be broken......"

Zhang Chongshan's face was still extremely ugly, his brows were wrinkled into a pimple, he still wanted to use this matter to get some more credit, and perform well in front of his aunt, now that it has become like this, the credit has to be lost!

"Let's go, whether there are clues or not, we will all have to interrogate!"

Su Shan pulled Zhang Chongshan towards the prison, and although the latter followed, his worried face became more and more intense.

Whoa!

Two middle-aged eunuchs with soft faces opened the prison door for them, Su Shan and Zhang Chongshan walked in one after the other, Shao Dahai was firmly bound by iron chains and hung on the rusty torture rack, because of the injuries on his legs, as well as the horror, the whole person has lost all his spirit.

The fat face was even whiter, and even his lips did not have a trace of blood, he heard the sound of the prison door opening, and raised his head tremblingly, and when he saw Su Shan standing opposite, his eyes suddenly widened, and his whole body trembled in horror, and then pleaded almost in despair,

"Father-in-law Su, all the small ones have been recruited, all of them have been recruited, don't try it again!"

He had already been completely frightened by Su Shan's methods that night.

"Yes? You know each other very well!"

Su Shan sat opposite him with a smile, waved his hand at the pen-holding eunuch next to him, and said with a smile,

"Write down everything he says. ”

"Yes!"

The eunuch who holds the pen prepares the pen and ink, and Shao Dahai is 1510, honestly telling him how Chen Ting instructed him, and Chen Ting once mentioned to him that the real mastermind behind the scenes is Hu Yong, after the matter is completed, Chen Ting can be the palm print of the imperial horse supervisor, and he Shao Dahai can be the chief manager of the imperial dining room and a series of things, all of which were told.

"Done?"

Su Shan glanced at the confession presented to him, and a slight sneer appeared on his face.

"It's all explained, this is all the things that the little one knows, beg Father-in-law Su to give Grandpa Su a way to live, beg Father-in-law Su to ......"

Shao Dahai was a little trembling by Su Shan's eyes, and said with a pleading face.

But before he finished his words, he saw that Su Shan's eyes suddenly became ruthless, and he directly tore the confession into pieces, and then smashed it on his body.

"Shao Dahai, you are so bold, you are not honest at this time, and you still want to frame others?"

Su Shan stood up with a calm gaze, came to the opposite side of Shao Dahai, stared at the face that was pale with fear, and said in a dark voice,

"Master of Ceremonies and Supervisor Hu, that is an important minister trusted and entrusted by the first emperor, how could he do such a heinous thing? And the chief steward Chen Ting, do you know that he was ashamed because he didn't notice your conspiracy last night and had committed suicide, how could a loyal person like this collude with you and murder the Queen Mother?"

"I see that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, come and serve me with a big punishment!"

"Father-in-law Su, you ...... What I said is the truth, it was really what they asked me to do, Chen Ting, Chen Ting committed suicide in fear of crime, or it could be that Gonggong Hu killed people and killed his mouth, you ...... Ahh

Halfway through Shao Dahai's words, the eunuch who was already executing came to his left and right, and two soldering irons that were burned red by charcoal fire fell directly on his chest, and he also let out a hoarse scream!

"Ah......h

"Father-in-law Su, you are ......"

Zhang Chongshan was made by Su Shan's actions, Shao Dahai clearly said the truth, why did Su Shan deny it? He frowned, touched Su Shan's shoulder, and wanted to ask understand, Su Shan secretly waved his hand and said,

"Don't worry, Commander Zhang, I have my own arrangements, and I'll explain to you later!"

"Ah......h

With the rise and fall of the soldering iron several times, Shao Dahai couldn't hold on, and this prison also looked a little hideous, Su Shan came to Shao Dahai, who was already dying, with a smile, and gently leaned over, and said in a low voice,

"Shao Dahai, don't you want to explain it well? The next means will make your life worse than death!"

While speaking, two eunuchs came over with iron brushes, Shao Dahai saw this scene, his body twitched violently, his eyes almost popped out, he trembled and said,

"Father-in-law Su, I said, I said, I just lied, I framed Father-in-law Chen and Father-in-law Hu, I should be damned......"

"Well, that's right!

The corners of Su Shan's mouth picked up, and he leaned forward a little, and said in a very soft voice,

"I heard that you have a good relationship with Zhao Jing Zhao, the palm seal of the Seal Supervisor, and Zhao's father-in-law, could he have instructed you in this matter?"

"This ......"

Shao Dahai was in a trance for a moment, and suddenly understood what Su Shan meant, he glanced at the two eunuchs holding iron brushes, lowered his head weakly, and then said in despair,

"Yes, it's Gonggong Zhao of the Seal Ribbon Prison, and he instructed me to do ......"

"Then you should think about what happened, and tell me 1510, but there are no loopholes. ”

Su Shan's purpose was achieved, and he retreated to his position with a smile.

"The little one is the Seal Ribbon Supervisor Zhao Gonggong who met by chance, and he ...... at that time"

Shao Dahai was in a trance for a moment, and spoke slowly, while the eunuch holding the pen on the side lowered his head and recorded 1510.

Zhang Chongshan listened to these completely inconsequential confessions, and his dark face showed a more puzzled look, how could this matter have anything to do with the Seal Ribbon Prison?

This is clearly made up!

That's it, Su Shan also believed it?

In just half an hour, Shao Dahai finished explaining everything, Su Shan took the confession in his hand and looked at it, his face showed pride, and then he took someone to the eunuch named Zhao Shi.

There was also a hoarse scream, and a strong smell of blood came out, and even the sound of the torture rack and the iron chain colliding violently could be heard, and not long after, Su Shan had another confession in his hand.

"Father-in-law Su, you don't want to take these two confessions to the Queen Mother, do you......?

A moment later, Zhang Chongshan followed Su Shan out of the Imperial Horse Prison Heavenly Prison, his brows furrowed into a pimple, and he couldn't help but grab Su Shan's arm and stop him,

"This is obviously fake, if you sue the Queen Mother like this, we will both have to be punished......"

"Commander Zhang, listen to my explanation!"

Su Shan stuffed the two confessions into his arms, then leaned into his ear and whispered,

"The Queen Mother asked us to investigate this matter, not to really find out who is the mastermind and who is the accomplice, the Queen Mother is like a mirror in her heart, she must have guessed it a long time ago, she just wants us to use this reason to clean the inner court, especially those henchmen of Hu Yong......"

"This seal supervisor is in charge of the jade seal, the survey, the general's seal, and is also responsible for the naturalization records of all personnel transfers in the inner court, official affairs, etc., and has a very close relationship with the celebrant supervisor, which is equivalent to the right-hand man of Gonggong Hu......"

"Oh...... I see!"

Zhang Chongshan frowned and thought for a while, his dark face finally showed a look of sudden realization, he stared at Su Shan with amazement, and said with admiration,

"Father-in-law Su, I didn't see it, your hand is really powerful!"

"Let's go and go, let's go to the Queen Mother to report ......"
