Mingyue originally knew that she was going to die, and for the rest of the day, she just sat in the room and recalled the past. In her heart, if she dies, she will die, and a life like a Qinglou woman, giving up is not a bad thing. However, she heard what Xu Ke said at this time, and learned that the emperor actually sentenced her to a Ling Chi punishment, what a cruel punishment Ling Chi's execution was, how could she not be frightened at first glance? !

Mingyue asked in surprise: "My lord, why did the Holy Lord sentence me to Ling Chi? Even if I really killed someone, give me a rope, or a glass of poisoned wine, it's a big deal, slash me in the neck! Why not, let me be tortured like that?......

As she spoke, she looked up and thought to herself, "I might as well have made up my own calculations sooner!" but she couldn't find a way to judge herself. If she wants to hang herself by hanging a beam, there is only an empty roof here, if she wants to cut the veins or kill herself, there is no knife here, if she wants to hit the wall and die, the wall here is full of falling dust, I am afraid that even if she hits her head, she may not die......

Xu Ke seemed to see through her thoughts, and he sneered twice, and he said sarcastically:

"Do you want to commit suicide? There are only those weak and incompetent people in the world who will think about killing themselves when something happens! If you want to commit suicide at this moment, it will be suicide in fear of sin! If this matter is spread out, not only will your accusation be confirmed, but two guards will immediately tie you up all over your body, and stuff a ball of linen cloth in your mouth, so that you can't move, even if you want to die, you can't die!"

Mingyue couldn't help but feel very angry in her heart, she saw a sneer on Xu Ke's face at this time, and she couldn't help but rush up with anger, she said angrily:

"My lord, I've already fallen into this position, do you still have the heart to make fun of me? Are you here to ask about the case today, or are you here to watch my Mingyue jokes? If you want to see my jokes, you should go to the vegetable market two days later! Big deal, my Mingyue's flesh will be cut by him with a thousand knives!"

Xu Ke saw that the girl in front of him had now fallen to such a point, and there was still a kind of arrogance and stubbornness in his heart, and he couldn't help nodding secretly in his heart. This kind of heart is somewhat similar to his own, so he put away his ridicule and asked kindly:

"Miss Mingyue, this official is naturally here to inquire about the case today. Moreover, this official may wish to tell you the truth, and when this official sees the facts of the case you confessed, there are many suspicious points, and there are a few places that are really unbelievable, and this official came here today on purpose to help you overturn the case and redress your grievances! However, this official has asked you several times before, but you are unwilling to say anything, which makes this official ...... How can I help you?"

Mingyue's eyes widened, stared at Xu Ke tightly, and asked:

"My lord, did you really come for me?"

Xu Ke nodded.

"However, you just said that the Holy Lord has decreed and convicted this case, can you still turn it over?"

"There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with hearts!" Xu Ke still nodded.

"But, but...... The previous Lord Yang had already promised me, saying that as long as I confessed in person, even if the Holy Lord sent someone to re-interrogate, I would not retract my confession, and he would not embarrass my sister, and moreover, he would let me die happily, why, why......"

Xu Ke snorted coldly: "Yang Wenyuan's words, can you believe it?"

Mingyue looked up at Xu Ke, her face was blank and helpless......

Xu Ke shook his head and sighed:

"It's this Yang Wenyuan, who said that you have been secretly in love with King Han for a long time, and that you have become hated because of love; he said that you lured King Han to Cuiyun Tower, got drunk, and brutally killed King Han! He also said that you stabbed King Han with 73 knives in conjunction with the old bustard, and tortured King Han for more than an hour, which made King Han feel hateful! cough...... Think about it, the Holy One is also a human being, how can the Holy One not be angry when he hears that you have tortured and killed his son so cruelly? Yes, the Holy One sentenced you to a Ling Chi punishment!"

He ...... How could he do that......?! I ......"

Mingyue was angry in her heart, and she was a little incoherent for a while.

She thought about it for a while, and immediately leaned down towards Xu Ke, and said with tears in her eyes:

"I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill anyone! This lord, can you please intercede with the saint, so that Mingyue can die happily, okay?"

Xu Ke couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly got up and picked up Mingyue, made her sit back on the edge of the bed, and said comfortingly:

"Why did you die innocently when you didn't kill anyone?"

Mingyue was supported by Xu Ke and slowly walked to the edge of the small bed and sat down, but after she sat down, she grabbed Xu Ke's hand tightly, as if a drowning person grabbed a piece of wood on the water, she raised a pair of tearful eyes and stared at Xu Ke blankly:

"My lord, Mingyue knows that she will die, I just want to die happily, I beg my lord to help me!"

"There is only one way to save you from Ling Chi's death!"

"What?"

"Tell the official the truth about King Han's killing!"

"But ......," Mingyue said hesitantly:

"I don't know how King Han died!"

"In this way, whatever the official asks you, you will answer, no matter how much you know, just answer truthfully!"

"That'...... Excuse me, my lord!"

Xu Ke pushed away Mingyue's hand vigorously, and then returned to his chair and sat down, he picked up the tea bowl, took another big sip of warm tea, and began to ask:

"This official asks you, where were you on the night King Han was killed, and what were you doing?"

"That night, Mingyue stayed in her bedroom"

"Are you alone, do you have any witnesses around?"

"There was another person, who was also in my room. ”

"Who is it?"

"He ......" Mingyue hesitated for a moment, and finally replied:

"His name is Pei Caibao. ”

"Pei Caibao?" Xu Ke couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Yes, he is the head of our Cuiyun Building, and that night, Mingyue was sleeping with him......"

So, Mingyue made a statement to Xu Ke about the experience of the night of March 26. That night, she slept with Pei Caibao, and later she seemed to see Pei Caibao get up in the middle of the night and go out, and she didn't ask much. Later, in her sleepiness, she faintly heard the old bustard screaming, and then, there was a noise downstairs, and then, several Tsing Yi guards forcibly broke into her bedroom, fiercely lifted her out of the bed, and tied her up without saying a word, and took her back to Nan'an Pingsi.

After Xu Ke heard this, he thought for a while, and then asked again: "So, that piece of King Han's personal jade pendant was left by Pei Caibao's side?"

Mingyue nodded, she was also bitter in her heart, she never thought that her bad luck this time was actually caused by this jade pendant.

Xu Ke then asked: "In your Cuiyun Building, did a girl named 'Jiaojiao' come here more than ten days ago? Where was Jiaojiao on the night of March 26? What was she doing? Is she with King Han......? DID YOU KNOW?"

"Jiaojiao?" Mingyue shook her head blankly, but asked rhetorically:

"My lord, can you tell me that Jiaojiao has also been arrested? Where is she at the moment? Can you let us see each other again?"

Xu Ke said: "Don't worry, Jiaojiao ran away!"

"Jiaojiao ran away, just run away, just run away!" Mingyue muttered to herself, finally no longer having to worry about it.

Xu Ke saw Mingyue's situation, and nodded secretly in his heart, he thought to himself, it seems that these two people are really sisters! No wonder that Mao Jiaojiao came to beg Sister Hu in person and asked her sister to help save people.

"Miss Mingyue, this official asks you, is the real murderer who killed King Han Jiaojiao?" Xu Ke asked in a deep voice.

"No! not Jiaojiao!" Mingyue immediately shook her head.

"Han Wang Li Zuo came to Cuiyun Tower late at night, did he want to sleep with Jiaojiao? That night, was the person who originally served Han Wang in the embroidery room Jiaojiao?"

"No! not Jiaojiao!" Mingyue still shook her head.

Xu Ke asked patiently: "Miss Mingyue, if you shield the real murderer and refuse to confess the truth to this official, what will this official do...... Help you get justice?"

"Then ...... Don't avenge your grievances!" Mingyue said pitifully: "My lord's kindness, Mingyue understands it! This murderer who killed King Han, Mingyue confessed! If my lord can't change his holy will, Mingyue will also die, if I really want to be slashed a thousand times, let them come and cut me!"

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Xu Ke couldn't believe that the notorious "Alloy Fairy" Mao Jiaojiao would have become a sister to a top female prostitute in Cuiyun Building. Now, Xu Ke saw that Mingyue himself was already on the chopping board, but he still had to defend "Jiaojiao" like this, and he was also emotional.

Xu Ke stretched out his hand to pick up the tea bowl on the table, and drank several sips of warm tea in a row. After thinking about it, he changed his way of thinking about the case, so he asked:

"Miss Mingyue, you don't want to say Jiaojiao, and this official doesn't force you. Can you tell this official, that Han King Li Zuo?"

"What do you want to know?" Mingyue raised her head, as long as she didn't ask Jiaojiao, she immediately seemed to have a clear idea.

"Tell me everything you know!"

"Good!"

As a result, Mingyue put Han King Li Zuo is actually the real proprietor of Cuiyun Tower, this famous Cuiyun Tower in Chang'an was originally opened by Li Zuo when he was young, and Li Qiu, who was named the proprietor, was actually Li Zuo's doorman...... These things were all explained to Xu Kebei one by one, and later, Mingyue even said that she had served King Han for a few nights, and that prince had a quirk, and there were all kinds of strange ways to deal with women, and they all said it one by one.

After Xu Ke heard this, he couldn't help frowning again and again, and he felt even more disgusted with this famous "King of Fun" at this time.

Next, Xu Ke asked about the business situation in Cuiyun Tower, and what kind of character the old bustard was? How did Pei Caibao come to Cuiyun Tower? How did Jiaojiao pick up customers after she came to Cuiyun Tower? Listening to the rap in Yueyue Tower, what happened to the "Bright Moon Bright Moon" in Chang'an's new scenery mentioned in it? Including Mingyue's own origin, when she came to Cuiyun Tower, and whether there are any relatives in the world...... Mingyue answered these many questions truthfully.

Time passed quickly, and it was noon in a blink of an eye, and most people were waiting for the meal to be delivered in Tsing Yiwei. Xu Ke had been asking for more than an hour in Mingyue's cell, and seeing that everything that should have been asked had already been asked, Xu Ke was already roughly clear in his heart, so he stood up and planned to go back to his office in the South Bureau.

"Miss Mingyue, the circumstances of your case have been roughly clarified by the official today. Next, the official should think of avenging your grievances for you! You will be at ease for a few days, and wait for the good news of the official!"

"Thank you, sir!" Mingyue was about to lean over to kneel down to Xu Ke to thank her, but was stopped by Xu Ke waving his hand.

"My lord......" Seeing Xu Ke get up to leave, Mingyue suddenly called.

"What else?" Xu Ke turned around and asked.

Mingyue snorted and asked, "The adult has been here for so long, and Mingyue still doesn't know, the adult's surname is big?"

"Oh......" Xu Ke smiled and said:

"My surname is Xu Mingke, and I have no disease, but I am an inspector of thousands of households in Tsing Yiwei!"

Mingyue saw that the blue-robed man in front of her was just a young man who was only twenty years old, and he was born so handsome, although she expected that the other party must be an official, but she didn't expect him to be a thousand-household. After all, Mingyue has been in Cuiyun Tower for ten years, and there has always been no shortage of high-ranking officials and nobles around her, and she has also heard of the official position of Tsing Yi Wei Qianhu, which is a high-ranking official that ordinary people dare not offend.

"It turned out to be Lord Xu, Mingyue was in a hurry before, and she was rude and negligent to the adult, and I hope that Lord Qianhu will forgive her sins!" Mingyue stood up, brushed the messy hair in front of her forehead, revealing a pair of beautiful and beautiful eyes, and said to Xu Ke as a courtesy.

"Hehehe, it's okay!" Xu Ke waved his hand.

At this time, he saw Mingyue's haggard but dazzling face, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned in his heart. He said in his heart, this woman is really the top brand in Cuiyun Building, although she is in the dust, she still has a beautiful and refined color, if she was born in a good family, she grew up seriously, at this time she is also a stunning woman in the world, and I don't know how many wealthy giants are vying to hire her to pass the door!

"Why does Lord Xu want to avenge Mingyue?" Mingyue asked again.

"Well...... this" Xu Ke thought for a while, and then said:

"This official is responsible for inspecting, reviewing and sorting out unjust cases!"

Mingyue looked up at Xu Ke's eyes, her gaze seemed to be suspicious, but also seemed to be full of faith.

“......”

Xu Ke suddenly asked again:

"Miss Mingyue, what about your real name?"

Mingyue couldn't help but smile and said that this question was asked by Xu Ke when he first came in, but he was in a bad mood at that time, so he didn't answer it with a cold face.

"My real surname is Qin, and my name is Noble. ”

"Qin Laibao, hehehe, this name is also interesting! Who gave it to you? Why is it called 'Laibao'?" Xu Ke asked with a smile.

"This name was given by my father, and he liked boys, so he chose it for me. Two years later, my younger brother was born, and my father gave him a name, 'Qin Abao'. ”

"Qin Abao?hahaha...... Why don't you call it 'Qin Laibao'?" Xu Ke's laughter came heartily like the spring breeze outside the house.

Seeing Xu Ke's smiling appearance, he was so heroic and handsome, Mingyue couldn't help but be fascinated when he saw it. Her mood at this time was like a spring breeze blowing away the clouds, and she became extraordinarily cheerful. Somehow, she believed in her heart for no reason that the Lord Xu in front of her would definitely be able to help her avenge herself, at least, she would not end up with a "thousand cuts and death" ending......

"Let Lord Xu see it smile!" Mingyue lowered her head, hiding the flush that appeared inadvertently on her face.

Xu Ke touched his forehead and said, "I think, you will still be called 'Mingyue' in the future, since your father doesn't want you anymore, you don't want his 'Qin' surname!

"Okay! Mingyue listens to your lord!"

"Hmmm......"

Xu Ke nodded and walked to the door of the cell, and when he was about to open the door and go out, he suddenly remembered something, and then asked:

"Miss Mingyue, has Yang Wenyuan ever tortured you?"

"Nope!"

"Then why did you confess in person according to his request, and you also drew the charge with your own hands?"

"Because, she tortured other girls......"

So, Mingyue explained to Xu Kebei how Yang Wenyuan forced her to confess and how he inflicted the punishment of "blue characters and five claws" on Scarlet Cloud.

"How can this be reasonable! It turns out that this confession came from like this! Yang Wenyuan, this guy is so vicious and cunning, I will not let him succeed!" Xu Ke was furious when he heard this, he immediately waved his hand at Mingyue, opened the prison door, and walked out.

Mingyue watched Xu Ke out of the door of the cell until the other party left far away. She went back to the bed and sat quietly for a while, and the mood of waiting for death was filled with joy and anticipation out of thin air. At this moment, she saw that the bed was very messy, the floor was full of debris, and the tables and chairs were dusty, so she fetched a basin of water, took another rag, moistened the water, and began to wipe and clean.

......

......

After leaving Mingyue's cell, Xu Ke had another thought in his heart, he also wanted to see if other girls had been abused.

Xu Ke called one of the leaders in charge of the Nan Prison in the Nan'an Ping Division and ordered him to open the rest of the cells where the girls from Cuiyunlou were held. The palm flag cowered before, and shirked in every possible way, Xu Ke learned Zhang Muye's method, and it was a loud slap when he went up, and it hit the palm flag with gold stars. In a panic, the palm flag hurriedly took out the keys and opened the doors of each cell for Xu Ke one by one.

Xu Ke saw that more than 100 girls in Cuiyun Building were all locked up in more than a dozen cells at this time, although the rooms were large and small, but every cell was full of female prisoners. Those female prisoners were all unkempt and unclothed, and there were many women, almost all of their upper clothes had been torn, and there were still blood stains faintly flowing out of their lower bodies. Pity these female prisoners, half of their bodies are naked, but they are all lying on the ground weakly, staring blankly at the roof, as if they are indifferent to their bodies and fate......

Seeing that every cell was stinking, Xu Ke couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose, and reprimanded the flag: "Don't you know how to clean it?"

Zhangqi hurriedly said: "Lord Qianhu, there is no way to do the small ones! There are too many prisoners, and our southern prison is so big, so we have to take care of them! These people eat and pull every day, and the brothers are really too busy!"

"Hmph, let you clean the cell, you can't be busy, 'other things', I think you don't do less, right?" Xu Ke said awe-inspiringly.

"This ...... Lord Qianhu, the small one will send someone to clean up immediately after a while, and send someone to clean it immediately!" Zhangqi naturally understood in his heart what Xu Qianhu said about "other things", so he had to cower and try to be perfunctory.

Xu Ke ordered Zhangqi to open the cell where the rest of the men were held. I saw that the prostitutes who were escorted to the Nan'an Pingsi Division were one to three people in a room, not only was the cell very spacious and clean, but even the tables, chairs, wooden beds and other furnishings in the room were also a lot more. Even the miscellaneous servants in the Cuiyun Building are in a better situation than the girls.

Xu Ke was so angry that he immediately shook the flag and strode to Yang Wenyuan's office.

At this moment, Yang Wenyuan was sitting at a square table in the inner room of his office, and on the table was the "Tsing Yi Weijia Meal" brought by the guards. Among them, there is a "stewed whitebait soup", and the whitebait inside is transported from the south of the Yangtze River thousands of miles away.

Yang Wenyuan had just finished eating lunch, picked up the soup spoon, scooped up a bowl of stewed whitebait soup, and was about to slowly put it in his mouth as a "jade moist of the stomach" after the meal......

Xu Ke pushed away the guards who were blocking, angrily broke into Yang Wenyuan's inner room, and slapped the table with a "snap", only to shock the soup spoon in Yang Wenyuan's hand and almost fall, and the whitebait soup in it spilled all over his face.

"Yang Wenyuan, you are so bold! You dare to instigate your subordinates to openly rape a female criminal! I want to join you!" Xu Ke pointed at Yang Wenyuan's nose and scolded.

Yang Wenyuan was quite patient, he took a square towel, wiped his face, and was not angry, seeing Xu Ke followed by two guards rushing in, he waved his hand to let the guards retreat, and then asked tepidly:

"Xu Qianhu, which eye do you see that my subordinates are raping criminals?"

"Hmph, go to the South Prison and see for yourself, what have all the female prisoners from Cuiyun Mansion become?!"

"Tut-tut, Xu Qianhu, I can't see it, you are still a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade! It's a pity that these female prisoners will die in two days, even if you care about them, what's the use?"

Xu Ke angrily reprimanded: "Even if they can only live for two more days, they are still human beings, not pigs and dogs!

Yang Wenyuan said disapprovingly: "Anyway, they will die soon, this skin, it is a waste not to use it for these two days, just let the brothers be happy, isn't it good?"

"You ......" Xu Ke pointed at Yang Wenyuan, so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Xu Qianhu, don't forget, this kind of thing is not only in our southern prison, but also in their northern prison, it seems that there are even more! Why don't you go and check there?" Yang Wenyuan said proudly.

"I'll go to you today, you wait!" Xu Ke shook off a resounding word, then turned around and left proudly.

"Hmph, okay, I'll wait for you!" Yang Wenyuan looked at Xu Ke's back, and the look on his face was smiling to himself.

......

......

Just over an hour ago, Yang Wenyuan had already rushed to Shen Huan's office in a panic and reported to Shen Huan that today, Zhang Muye and Xu Ke, two thousand households, for some reason, joined forces to investigate the case in his Nan'an Ping Division, and the case investigated was the case of King Han's murder.

After Shen Huan heard this, he groaned for a while, and said in confusion:

"How could Zhang Muye join forces with Xu Ke? Could it be that these two people actually came together?"

Yang Wenyuan said eagerly: "Governor Shen, right now, both of them are in the southern prison to ask about the case! If they ask anything bad and go to the palace to sue us, this matter will not be easy to handle!"

Shen Huan snorted coldly: "Then why don't you stop them?"

Yang Wenyuan hurriedly said: "I want to stop them, but after all, they are two thousand households, one was originally in charge of inspection, and the other has the power of investigation granted by the emperor in his hands, and there is no decree from the lord in his hand, so he can't stop it!"

Shen Huan glanced at Yang Wenyuan and said disdainfully:

"So, you came to me in a blazing fire, and you wanted me to come forward and stop them in person?"

"My lord!" Yang Wenyuan said with an embarrassed expression: "At this time, Master Lao can only go to Nanjiao in person! If there is no adult in person, I am afraid that no one will be able to stop the two of them!"

Although Shen Huan couldn't stop cursing Yang Wenyuan for being "stupid" in his heart, he was still silent on the surface, only to see him wave his hand and say indifferently:

"Don't panic, they want to investigate the case, you let them investigate!"

"What do you mean?"

"In this case, the emperor has already decreed a conviction, and in two days, all the criminals will be executed, what moths can they find?"

"But if they find out something......" Yang Wenyuan still couldn't help but say worriedly. The whole process of trial of the case, after all, was done by him himself, yes, the twists and turns in the middle, he knew best in his heart that if some things really got out, it would not be of any benefit to him Yang Wenyuan.

"Don't worry, even if they really find out something, they will have their own governor to help you bear it!"

"Lord Shen, those subordinates of the lowly position, I have seen the girls in Cuiyun Building in the past few days, all of them are like a male dog, and they will pounce when they see people, and they have been busy with the trial of the case for the past two days, and they have not been strictly restrained, so it is ......" Yang Wenyuan said with a shameful face.

"It's all trifle, let him go!"

"Those two days...... If you are lowly and let the two of them go in and out of my southern prison at will, and investigate the case at will?"

If they can really overturn the case, the governor will admire it!"

"Ignorance, understood!"

Seeing that Shen Huan's face was calm and seemed to be confident, Yang Wenyuan's original anxious and ashamed mood made him feel a little relieved.

......
