Chapter 70: Interrogation
Since the loss of the Zhenguo gem, Emperor Tang Ning has been like a demon, and his mind is a little unconscious, and after last night's incident, it is undoubtedly worse, he returned to the palace and sent someone to arrest Li Guifei and detain her in the prison. Then he sent someone to invite Zheng Wenbin from the investigation team of Qianyuan Academy to come and interrogate.
After two days of interrogation, Li Guifei did not say anything, and after listening to the report of the jailer, Li Guifei began a hunger strike and had not eaten for two days.
After many requests from Shu Tong, His Majesty the Emperor removed the officials who had followed the investigation, and Shu Shu Tong sat in the interrogation room and waited quietly for the jailer to escort Concubine Li to come. About half an hour later, the door of the interrogation room was opened, and Concubine Li had long since lost her former beauty, her spirit was very poor, her eyes looked at the same thing with dull eyes, and she lowered her head again, and continued to look at the ground.
After many consultations, it was decided to change the method of interrogation.
"Concubine Li, no, I should call you Shen Li. Just now, news came that a young man named Shen Aotian was arrested. โ
It was obvious that Shen Li's expression had changed for the first time, she raised her head, carefully observed the expression of the statement, and found that the statement was not cheating, the expression on her face suddenly changed, she sighed slightly, and said,
"You won, let him go, and I'll tell you what happened. โ
"You said it, and we let him go. The statement replied in the affirmative, and then he picked up the pen and waited to record the confession of Concubine Li.
"Shen Aotian is my father, my mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to my younger brother, my father has been drinking all day long, looking for women all day long, and slowly his body collapsed, but looking at me young, my father wanted to continue to live, there is an ancient legend in our far north, legend has it that a long time ago, our far north was protected by the fart of the life gem, there was a place where the four seasons were like spring, and the plants were lush, and the people in the far north at that time relied on the life gem and lived a good life for a long time, when people were well fed and warm, and the life gem was always protected by a group of mages who could use spellsใ Later, there was a scum in this group of mages, she stole the life gem and dedicated it to your Central Plains Dayin Kingdom in exchange for glory and wealth, the leader of the mage, Fang Long, was extremely annoyed after knowing about this matter, and immediately sent a powerful disciple Chilu Xuanshi to the Central Plains to get back the life gem, Chilu Xuanshi had not yet set off, and the archmage Liu Heye who stole the gem led a Central Plains Taoist to Chimang City, the mage city in the extreme north. Liu Lotus Ye's mother was killed by the mage leader, and this time Liu Lotus Ye stole the life gem to go to the Central Plains to invite the master to come and avenge his mother. The mana of the Central Plains Taoist is very profound, thousands of mages in the entire city of mages fought with this Central Plains Taoist for three days and three nights, but they did not defeat this Central Plains Taoist, at the last moment, Grand Master Fang Long knew that if this continued, the city of mages, Chimang City, would be destroyed by this Central Plains Taoist sooner or later, so Fang Long released the most powerful forbidden spell in Chimang City, and died together. At the cost of the death of himself and his thirty disciples, he used his soul and body to curse the Central Plains Taoist priest to die with them, and they succeeded. The Central Plains Daoist did not resist this powerful forbidden spell and died with Fang Long and them. And Liu Heye saw that Fang Long, the enemy who killed his mother, was dead, and his favorite Ailang Zhongyuan Taoist priest was also dead, and he also killed himself. The matter is not over here, because the lost life gem has not been recovered, so Chimang City has sent several groups of mages to find it. Because of the loss of the Life Gem, the fart protector in the Far North has disappeared, and now the Far North is in dire straits, unable to eat, and is attacked by the cold poisonous gas every day, and many people have a strange disease. In this case, Her Royal Highness the princess of the Far North stepped forward and decided to come to the Central Plains to find the gem of life in person, and after many inquiries, it was found out that the gem of life was in the palace of the Dayin Dynasty, and my father saw that I was still young and did not want to die prematurely, so he agreed to come to the Central Plains to find the gem at the cost of learning the art of witchcraft to continue his life. I was worried about my father's health and decided to come to the Central Plains to take care of my father's body, my father has become brutal and bloodthirsty since he learned this witch and ghost art, but every time I am in danger, he is the first person to stand in front of me to protect me, he said, unless he dies, no one can hurt me. Now that my father is in your hands, as a daughter, I will get him out no matter what. โ
After listening to Shen Li's confession, Shutong stopped writing and asked,
"It was your princess of the Far North who stole the Life Gem, didn't you?"
"Hmm. โ
"And where is she now?"
"I should have left the city and ran in the direction of Zhentianguan. After all, to go to the far north, you must pass through Zhentianguan. โ
"She has no team to answer. โ
"The mages of Crimson City and her escort should pick her up. โ
"The last question is for His Majesty the Emperor? Have you ever liked His Majesty the Emperor over the years?"
"His Majesty has been very good to me for so many years, and my feelings for him are genuine. What I do, I can't help myself."
The jailers escorted Shen Li down, made a statement and sorted out the confession records, Zheng Wenbin and several people walked out of the back room, and they listened to the entire interrogation process completely.
Zheng Wenbin patted Shu Tong's shoulder and said.
"Shutong, you're doing a great job. For your contribution to the peace and tranquility of the world, I will apply for a reward for the Academy. โ
At this moment, Emperor Tang Ning was supported by a small eunuch and walked out of the secret room in the back.
Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"I already know the whole process, although Concubine Li betrayed Da Yin, but from a standpoint, I don't blame her. Find her father, Shen Aotian, and send them to the Far North. I don't want to see him again. "I feel that Downing is much older than the previous meetings. After a few days of not seeing, the emperor of the Central Plains Dayin Dynasty had wrinkles on his face. Just like the current Dayin Dynasty, dying of old age.
