Your Highness, Jiangshan hires you

Chapter 073

Winter nights are always long, and the day comes even later.

This night, for Xiao Luo, it was a complete victory, everything was under control, but for Xiao Luan and Xiao Cheng, it was endless suffering.

After Steward Bai left the Ninth Prince's Mansion, he had his own means to inform the emperor of all the news in the Ninth Prince's Mansion. Within the prison.

Gradually, the sky was dimly lit, and the heavy snow fell last night, and the messy traces in the courtyard seemed to be wiped away under the cover of thick snow.

"Husband, it's time for me to go to court."

Ming Che knew that Xiao Luo would go there in person, "Okay, I've already got someone to watch over the dungeon, and, as the butler Bai said, the guards of the imperial army belonged to Xiao Mingyuan, and Xiao Luan and Xiao Even if Cheng wanted to do something secretly, it was impossible. The incident happened suddenly, and it was the morning of the court, so they had no chance. After the court, Luo Luo went back to the mansion first, had a good rest, and then did those things. This matter happened to Luo Luo, and Luo Luo solved it himself, so Xiao Mingyuan will not leave it to Luo Luo to handle the subsequent interrogation, so there is no need to worry about everything."

Xiao Luo nodded, "I know, then, is my husband going back to Dingwangfu now, or can I stay here? I... I want my husband to stay and wait for me, I think... I want to rest with my husband later."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Ming Che said softly.

Following that, Xiao Luo came out from the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

above the hall.

Xiao Luo stood in this golden hall, and the civil and military officials standing on both sides looked at him with different thoughts. Just two hours ago, a large number of forbidden troops entered and left the Ninth Prince's Mansion. Although it was dark night, the things here , It has already been spread, what happened in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, the outside also has a general understanding, but now, the Ninth Prince appears here, safe and sound, who can not be amazed.

Xiao Mingyuan sat on the dragon chair, looked at Xiao Luo who was standing below, and said, "I already know what happened in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, those hundreds of killers have been imprisoned in the prison, but you What do you plan to do?"

Xiao Luo immediately responded: "Father, since they are all here for my ministers, then these people should be interrogated by my ministers, and officials from the Ministry of Punishment can assist in the interrogation. What do you think, Father?"

"Since they are dead men, I'm afraid torture will be useless to them." Xiao Mingyuan said, "Are you sure you want to interrogate them?"

"Father thinks that they won't speak?"

Xiao Mingyuan met Xiao Luo's gaze, and the person in front of him was indeed his son, but today's Xiao Luo is no longer the Xiao Luo of the past, "Since you want to start, let you do it."

"Yes, thank you, Father." After Xiao Luo responded, he glanced left and right at Xiao Luan and Xiao Cheng who were beside him, and said in a soft voice: "Last night, my servants spent a lot of effort, especially taking care of the things hidden on their bodies. Du wanted to commit suicide, and he worked hard for a long time before he left them all alive in order to have a good interrogation. After all, with such a large amount of money, it can be seen that they still value the life of their children, and they can give People who make such a big move, how can there be no one behind them, father, don't you think so?"

"Don't worry, the people from the Ministry of Punishment will cooperate with you, and the officer in charge of torture at the sky prison will also help you. As long as you can get a confession, whoever wants to put you to death, I will not spare him lightly."

"With Father Emperor's words, I feel relieved."

The Prime Minister Zhang Xiu who was standing next to him took advantage of the situation and said, "Your Highness Ninth Prince's words sounded full of confidence, as if he could easily pry open the mouths of a group of dead men."

And Marshal Liu Shuo, who was standing on the other side, echoed, "When marching on the front line before, we also encountered the enemy's spy dead soldiers. We also tried every means to get the dead soldiers to speak up, but in the end, we tortured them to death. No, but I couldn’t pry their mouths open, the dead men were specially trained, these people are just like the walking dead, if you want them to open their mouths, I’m afraid..."

"Whether it's easy or not is my business, so I don't want to worry about the prime minister. It's just that the prime minister has to remind the officials of the Ministry of punishment and cooperate with them. As for what Marshal Liu said, the dead are indeed different from ordinary people, but the marshal said They are walking corpses, so His Highness disagrees, they are living people with flesh and blood and soul, how could they become walking corpses." Xiao Luo said calmly.

Xiao Luan looked at Xiao Luo. He thought what happened last night was safe, but he didn't expect that Xiao Luo could be so strong now, "From this point of view, we should wait and see about the interrogation of the Ninth Brother."

"Naturally, if this person is alive, he will have emotions and feelings. Interrogation is not just torture and torture. It is just the pain that exists on the surface of the body, making their life worse than death. Only then can they know everything without saying anything." After Xiao Luo said this, he didn't say any more, but said to the superior Xiao Mingyuan: "Father, when the officials from the Ministry of Punishment and the prison for torture are all selected, the ministers will go to interrogate, Father How do you feel?"

"Okay, I will let them form as soon as possible."

After tossing and turning, all the officials retreated from the court hall.

Outside the Golden Temple.

Xiao Cheng seemed to be a little anxious, "This Xiao Luo is really a hell, what did King Ding teach him to make him have the means he has today, with so many killers in his hands, how can he still keep all these people behind?" If you really let him interrogate something, wouldn't it be..."

"Second brother can be anxious, but he can't say everything." Xiao Luan said in a concentrated voice.

"Do you think that at this point, you can still feel at ease?"

"Could it be that the second brother has no confidence in the dead men he cultivated and thinks they will betray him?"

"The business is complete, unless they are all dead and no one spits out, then this matter is over."

Xiao Luan looked at Xiao Cheng, "Hearing what Second Brother said, has Second Brother regretted dealing with Xiao Luo?"

With Liu Shuo at the side, he said, "His Royal Highness is joking. We are joining hands in this matter. Once something happens, no one can escape responsibility. It's just that the current situation is very unfavorable to us."

Zhang Xiu said in a slow voice: "At this time, we can't act rashly, and we can't do anything in the sky prison. Maybe Xiao Luo has already laid a net. If we secretly send someone to take action, once we are caught, we will be caught. It is easier for Xiao Luo to find a breakthrough, at this time, just wait and see what happens."

"At the moment it can only be like this." Liu Shuo echoed, "Since the emperor wants the people from the Ministry of Punishment to cooperate, then I would like to ask the Prime Minister to inform you about the results of Xiao Luo's interrogation every day."

"Don't worry, we will watch carefully." Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice.

Then, they left separately.

Xiao Luan and Zhang Xiu were riding in the carriage together, Xiao Luan said in a low voice: "Uncle, Xiao Cheng's thoughts are probably a little timid."

"It's reasonable for him to shrink back. Not to mention him, but I heard that Xiao Luo took care of the four hundred dead men by himself and kept them alive. It's unbelievable to think about it. Now Xiao Luo, what kind of person is he?" What a monster."

"Uncle, tell me, did King Ding help him behind this matter?"

"There is no evidence, who dares to talk nonsense. We have been watched secretly for so many days, and we have not found anything suspicious. According to the news from the prison today, the hamstrings of those dead men were all broken, and they were all injured. All of his kung fu was also abolished, Xiao Luo's strikes were so ruthless, he couldn't even imagine how shy and humble this person was in the palace before."

"Uncle, in case..."

Zhang Xiu interrupted Xiao Luan's words, "Let's see how Xiao Luo will interrogate."

……

Harem, Fengyi Palace.

Although it was snowing heavily and it was cold, the fire in the hall was very hot and there was no chill at all, but the two sitting in the hall, Empress Zhang and Concubine Liu Gui, felt uneasy in their hearts after hearing those things, and felt somewhat inexplicable coolness.

Empress Zhang noticed the uneasiness on Concubine Liu Gui's face, and said in a calm voice: "The matter is not over yet, as long as Xiao Luo can't judge anything of value, everything will be fine, Concubine Gui can't stand it anymore ?"

Concubine Liu Gui made up her mind, "Why does the empress say such things about the concubines? The empress is also feeling uneasy. For this kind of thing, this step is so big. We have spent so much effort, but in the end it still falls short. Xiao Luo found such an opportunity, Empress, once his interrogation has progressed, and the incident will come out in the future, this is not a small matter, the empress will really be able to keep her mind calm and calm."

When Concubine Liu Guifei said this, Empress Zhang's expression turned pale, "Why, Concubine Gui thinks Xiao Luo can succeed?"

"Whether it will be successful or not depends on the matter. Xiao Luo is like a terrifying monster, just like the extremely mysterious King Ding. People can't see through it. The ministers are worried, which is reasonable. Empress, Why bother to say more."

"Okay, let's not argue about these things."

Concubine Liu Gui was too lazy to say much, she got up and left Fengyi Palace.

……

Royal study.

Xiao Mingyuan sat in front of the dragon table, and Eunuch Sun brought hot tea over, "Your Majesty, let's drink a cup of hot tea to keep you warm."

"How sure do you think he is that he can interrogate those people?"

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to speculate. It's just that it's not easy for a dead man to speak up."

"You think you can't."

Eunuch Sun didn't know how to respond, so he said instead: "Your Majesty, if His Highness the Ninth Prince really asks the deceased man to speak and obtains conclusive evidence, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, this matter..."

"If he can really have such ability, the result of the game between the three of them will be decided."

As soon as these words came out, Eunuch Sun immediately understood and naturally stopped talking. This matter can be determined after the interrogation results of His Highness Ninth Prince.
