Inside the prison, the oil lamp was dimly lit, casting figures on the mottled wall tiles, like ghosts. Cai Qi angrily dropped the horsewhip soaked in salt water in his hand, took the handkerchief handed over by his subordinates and wiped his hands, walked slowly around the blood-stained man tied to the wooden frame, and said: "Wu Yue, cool Zhou Renshi, Guanghe joined the army for three years and served as a general in Yingzhou, Hongchang was injured and retired in six years, and he took refuge in Pingjin Marquis Xue Changqing as his staff."
Hearing this, the blood-stained man soaked in the dark shadows trembled slightly, and slowly raised his swollen and purple eyes. Through his dirty and messy long hair, he could vaguely see a line from the brow bone to the cheekbone. Scars, bone-deep, glowing white, very terrifying.
Seeing the slight change in his expression, Cai Qi felt confident, and then said: "Don't think that if you don't say anything, the Zhen Fusi will not be able to find out your old background. I respect you as a man who has experienced battles, Write a confession letter as soon as possible, and tell the mastermind behind you, your accomplices, and why you sneaked into the imperial prison to assassinate the suspect Sun Zhang, and I will spare you from death."
But the assassin just gritted his teeth, obviously ready to die, and made up his mind not to say anything.
After waiting for a long time, only the crackling of candles could be heard in the dense prison. Cai Qi's complexion became more and more serious, and he gradually lost his patience. He got up angrily, and told Fu Li in a cold voice: "Continue to torture, be careful to keep alive, don't let him die."
"Yes." Fu Li embraced the order.
After Cai Qi left, Fu Li approached Wu Yue two steps forward, raised a pair of cold and sharp eyes in the jumping firelight, looked at Wu Yue like a knife, as if he had seen through everything.
Fu Li did not order Wu Yue to be tortured, but stood in the boundary line where light and shadow intersected, his pale thin lips parted slightly, and he spoke out a place name coldly and clearly: "No. 13, Xiyuan Lane, Yuhang."
This sentence is simply more useful than the cruelest punishment in the world, easily defeating all the armor of the opponent.
In an instant, the assassin named Wu Yue opened his eyes violently, struggling violently like a dying animal, and the blood-stained shackles dragged on his body rattled. He wanted to roar, but he could only let out a hoarse whimper because of the cork in his mouth¡ªthe cork was forcibly blocked to prevent him from biting his tongue.
Fu Li found out more clearly than Cai Qi: No. 13, Xiyuan Lane, Yuhang, lived with Wu Yue's sixty-year-old mother and her eight-year-old daughter. Wu Yue thought that he hid his family well, but as long as he lived in this world, how could he not leave clues?
"If you hadn't sneaked into the imperial prison to murder the key criminals, and the prince was furious and pressured Jin Yiwei, I wouldn't have made such a plan. You don't know the methods of Jin Yiwei's investigation, so write when you think about it, otherwise, even I can't save it your family."
After finishing speaking, Fu Li raised his hand to signal, and someone prepared paper and ink and put it in front of Wu Yue.
Wu Yue's eyes were red, his teeth almost bit off the cork, he struggled for a while, and finally lowered his head powerlessly like a defeated beast, and the bulging veins all over his body gradually calmed down.
A moment later, Fu Li walked out of the dungeon holding a confession with bloody fingerprints in his hand. In the confession, Wu Yue only identified Dali Siqing, but he didn't mention Xue Changqing's crimes, and he refused to do it again no matter what. He thought he was a loyal lackey when he started writing But he didn't know that once Zhang Yanhui from Dali Temple was involved in the case, the Xue family would not be able to stand alone.
The gate of the imperial prison painted with animal pattern totems slowly closed behind Fu Li, dark clouds covered the sun, a cool breeze suddenly picked up, and darkness gradually invaded the earth
In Yeyun Villa, a crisp and cracking sound broke the silence, Xue Changqing, furious, dropped the precious agate-glazed bamboo hat cup in his hand, and the splashed fragments were like blades, scratching the back of the hand of the kneeling woman behind the curtain.
The woman in the black dress was severely injured, and the wound on her waist and abdomen was still bubbling with blood. She seemed not to feel the pain, so she calmly wiped off the blood on the back of her hand, and lowered her head, "It's Seventeen Niang." He did not do his job well and failed to kill Wu Yue before he escaped from the imperial prison, which resulted in him falling into the enemy's hands. However, Sun Zhang is dead, and Wu Yue is a dead man, so I believe he will not confess to Lord Hou."
"No." Xue Changqing closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Ben Hou has been in the court for so many years, the first thing I realized is that there is no absolute loyalty in this world."
The woman heard Xue Changqing's subtext, a trace of sadness flashed in her indifferent eyes, she pursed her lips and said: "Seventeen Niang has a heavy trust from the Marquis, so she should die as an apology!" After finishing speaking, she suddenly drew a knife and stabbed herself Heart, without a trace of hesitation.
"Wait!" Xue Changqing stopped her, "If you want to die, you have to wait until Benhou falls! You are still needed now, go down and prepare, temporarily take Rui'er out to seek refuge, away from Yingtian Mansion, the farther the better."
"Then Marquis, you"
"Order to stop all properties of the Xue family." After finishing speaking, Xue Changqing remembered that Wu Yue was always in charge of the properties of the Xue family.sp; The grand official of the third grade, the head of the five temples, and the minister of Dali Temple who was in charge of the punishment actually violated the law and colluded with the enemy. This is the biggest case in more than ten years, and the government and the public are shocked by it!
? On July 11th, Zhang Yan returned to the court and pleaded guilty, taking over the salt smuggling case and firmly denying that anyone was manipulating it behind the scenes.
At dusk, the sky was beautiful, Jiang Yan was sitting on a swing, turned her head to Fu Li, who was standing holding the Xiuchun knife, and said, "I can rest assured if I find out that Dali Temple has tampered with confessions, destroyed evidence, and covered Xue Rui's case." I'm looking for Ayu."
"Soon." Fu Li stretched out his hand to push the swing, comforting her, "You should have a good sleep."
"Is there any way? The crown prince and Miss Wu Er are getting married soon, and I am busy assisting Ruan Shangshu in writing the pamphlet and congratulatory speech. Do you think Datong Mansion's investigation went too smoothly?"
Fu Li said: "Shuozhou Counselor Li Guangying helped, saying it was to repay his kindness."
Li Guangying What a familiar name, Jiang Yan couldn't forget the turmoil in Shuozhou three years ago, and the tears in the corners of Li Guangying's eyes when he kissed his newborn son.
Goodness has good fruits, it turns out that there is still warmth in this world.
"I don't know how his son is doing now, he should be able to read poetry." Jiang Yan said with a smile.
