Volume Three: Under the Balcony Chapter 491: Secret Things

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Such things are very small, but difficult to handle.  Zhang Ning came to the General Altar of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. At the west end of the Wangjing Gate of the Chu Palace, there was a very inconspicuous separate courtyard. There was no dungeon, but once you entered, it was difficult to get out from here unless you were voluntarily released.

    He was sitting in front of the woman called Xiao Qing. In her hand, she still held the hair flower that Yao Ji gave her personally, holding it tightly like her amulet.  She looked nervous, but she didn't suffer any physical pain because even the Ministry of Internal Affairs was not sure that she was a spy. They had only been conducting regular surveillance for a period of time before. After all, she was from the capital.

    They were arrested, so we had to interrogate him.

    Zhang Ning just wanted to use this to remind Luo Yaoniang to really realize the seriousness of the matter and buy time for him to think of a good way to deal with it.  Luo Yaoniang will definitely turn on the enemy, Zhang Ning knows her too well; besides, she will gain nothing from telling this kind of thing. Instead, she will pay a price. The price can be light or heavy. As for Mr. Dong, he wants to take the opportunity to steal her husband.  It is even more nonsense. Luo Yaoniang would not do that kind of thing, and if she wanted to do it, she would make it clear that she would not use such "despicable" means that were not chivalrous.

    In fact, the simplest and crudest way to solve this problem is to kill Luo Yaoniang directly to silence her, but Zhang Ning obviously couldn't do it.  What's more, how to explain to Yang Shiqi that the adopted daughter of the chief minister disappeared inexplicably in Wuchang, and the city was controlled by guards and spies inside and outside. There was no convincing explanation for it?

    For the time being, Zhang Ning does not dare to torture Xiao Qing to extract a confession. If she is innocent or there is no conclusive and credible evidence, Luo Yaoniang will be offended and things will only get worse.

    But what if this Xiao Qing is really a spy?  Zhang Ning had an idea, and he noticed that Xiao Qing had been holding the "talisman" given by Yao Ji, and he had an intuition that this girl is not so innocent, she has something that is not commensurate with her age.

    When he was an official in the capital, Hu Ying taught Zhang Ning a lot of things.  At that time, Zhang Ning had some resistance, such as how to use any means to get a prisoner to confess. The method was shameless, but undoubtedly very effective.

    "Do you know why we want to arrest you?"  Zhang Ning finally spoke after a long silence.  Standing behind were Dong Xue, an old woman who Zhang Ning thought had a perverted personality, and Chun Mei. They didn't say anything. They were probably very interested in seeing how Zhang Ning would interrogate the prisoner; Chun Mei had a weird smile on her face.  Did she think Zhang Ning would rape this woman first?  Just like how we treated Dong.

    Xiao Qing shook his head and said innocently: "I don't know."

    Zhang Ning was overjoyed. It was much easier for this girl to interrogate than the palace maids back then, so she spoke directly.  Hu Ying taught him that the first step was to get the prisoner to speak. No matter what he said, this step turned out to be effortless.

    Zhang Ning asked again: "You know that I am the King of Xiang. I asked you to come in and take the pulse of Princess Xiang that day in the palace. You have seen me. The mother-in-law also praised you as a magpie. Then why would I, a prince, sit here and examine it myself?  You, and you are the magpie that Concubine Shen praised?"

    Xiao Qing¡¯s face was full of fear, and many small movements revealed a sense of nervousness.  Upon seeing this, Zhang Ning felt that this woman was indeed not a trained assassin, and assassins would not be so easy to deal with.

    "If you confess, I'm a good person to talk to. If you do, I promise I won't retaliate against you, and I will also find ways to help you." Zhang Ning persuaded him with a pleasant tone.

    "II was wronged. I don't know what to do." Xiao Qing said in a trembling voice.

    Zhang Ning thought about it. According to Luo Yaoniang's introduction, this girl was the daughter of Imperial Doctor Xiao. After Doctor Xiao was convicted, she came to Huguang to seek refuge with her good sisters; that is to say, her father was in prison, imprisoning officials in the capital.  Usually they were thrown into prison.

    He didn¡¯t want to tell his inference. If he was mistaken, Xiao Qing would immediately understand that he had found nothing and would definitely not change his story.  You must give the impression that you have mastered most of the situation and evidence, and deceive her first.  I don¡¯t believe it, but I can¡¯t play with a little girl.

    "We also have people in the capital." Zhang Ning said, "Would you like to see the secret report from the capital?"

    Xiao Qing nodded tremblingly, then hurriedly shook his head: "I was wronged, any secret report must be slander!"

    Zhang Ning sneered and said: "Mr. Xiao is not an important member of the military. Why do our people want to frame his escaped daughter? It seems that you are toasting and not eating!"

    Dong Xue behind him said Yin Yin very cooperatively: "Let's scratch her face first."

    Xiao Qing immediately covered her face with both hands, and Chunmei couldn't help but smile when she saw this.  Dongxue said again: "Come here, tie me up!" Immediately, two women came forward to hold Xiao Qing down and tied her to a chair with a rope. She struggled very weakly and even cried. She was really not an assassin.  Nothing like that.

    ¡°Boom!¡± A bright sharp knife was inserted into the table.  Zhang Ning stared at her face and said, "Once you get rough, there will be more torture. Are you sure you can withstand it?"One torture after another?  "

    Xiao Qing cried: "I was wronged"

    The more this girl cried, the sadder she became. It was so difficult for Zhang Ning to get off the tiger, even if he was tortured, he would not be able to move.  This Dongxue always wants to be punished. The knife has been taken out, what should I do?  The pitiful look of Pear Blossom with Rain made Zhang Ning feel a little soft-hearted. If she is really innocent, it is too inhumane to do this, and it is only a woman and a child You must not hurt her easily, otherwise it will cause more trouble.

    Zhang Ning, almost giving up, took the lead and retreated, deceitfully saying: "The factory guards are threatening your father (especially since Dongchang is an eunuch who has no limit to helping, and threatening his family is their effective method, because they have already cut off their descendants), and use  Your relationship with Miss Luo forces you to come to Huguang to do things for them; if you don't obey, your family will be killed. They also induce you to let Dr. Xiao go as long as you do things for them. This is a secret report.  And the information is reliable, we have someone in the factory guard!"

    Xiao Qing cried and shook his head desperately, sobbing.

    Zhang Ning continued: "Now I want you to recruit your accomplices in Huguang. As long as you recruit them, I will help you. If you don't recruit them, Doctor Xiao will not survive. I will immediately secretly order our people to send him on his way!"  "

    "No, no" Xiao Qing struggled.

    Zhang Ning slapped her palm on the table, making her tremble in fright. He immediately shouted: "It's a move or a move!"

    He took a breath, waited for a while, and then persuaded: "You have never seen what is in the factory guard, but you should have heard it. Do you think they will keep their word? Doctor Xiao is an official of the imperial court.  , the crime was convicted by the Three Laws Division, could Dongchang Jinyiwei absolve him of the crime with just one sentence? Is it easier to deceive you, or is it easier to go through all the trouble to clear Doctor Xiao's name? Miss Xiao, why are you so easy to deceive? The world is dangerous.  ah!"

    "What should I do?" Xiao Qing choked.

    Zhang Ning's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly: "Untie her. Listen to me, you can only stand with us now. The imperial concubine, Mrs. Yao, likes you very much, and Miss Luo pleads for you. We don't look at the monk's face."  Looking at the Buddha's face, I am the only one who really wants to help you."

    Xiao Qing loosened his ties and wiped away his tears with his hands: "Can the prince rescue my father?"

    Zhang Ning thought about it, Wang Gou'er was the only one available for the factory guard, but it was reported that the eunuch Haitao had returned from Fengyang. Wang Gou'er could not be careful now; letting such a big chess piece take great risks to do such a bad thing  ?  Besides, would Wang Gouer really accept this kind of fate? He couldn't do anything to him if he didn't do this shit.  Xiao Qing is pitiful, but I don¡¯t know him

    "I will try my best," Zhang Ning said, "But no matter what, I can promise you that no matter what you have done, as long as you confess, I will pardon you and I will never break my promise."

    Xiao Qing said: "If you promise to save my father, I will tell you."

    At this moment, Dong Xue said coldly: "He is indeed a spy, and he is still qualified to negotiate terms. He will do anything to torture him."

    Zhang Ning turned around to signal Dong Xue to shut up, but she was right. As long as she was sure that Xiao Qing was a spy, she was done. She could torture him to extract a confession; catching his accomplices would be the evidence.  Regardless of the torture of human rights, no ordinary person can bear it. She, Xiao Qing, is not a professionally trained agent But she is just a young girl, and Zhang Ning is not willing to do this.

    He said: "I don't promise anything that is uncertain. It will be difficult to save Doctor Xiao, but I can definitely do it by forgiving you. Even if I agree to you now, it will not help. We are not in a hurry to torture you to extract a confession. How about we give you time to think about it?"  ?¡±

    "I said!" Xiao Qing suddenly said.

    Zhang Ning said nothing and listened patiently.

    Xiao Qing lowered his head and was silent for a long time before whispering: "That person is called Lu Qianshi. He told me that Miss Luo had an engagement with King Xiang I also know about this. As long as I get to Miss Luo, I will have a chance."  I know the whereabouts and habits of King Xiang. He doesn¡¯t want me to do it, saying that I can¡¯t do it, but wants to do something bad. As long as I memorize King Xiang¡¯s travel habits, as well as the specific travel time, and tell their people, the matter will be done.  .I am only responsible for this.¡±

    "Very good." Zhang Ning looked murderous and mocking, "The Xuande Dynasty has jumped over the wall in a hurry and used such despicable methods. Wait until my 'battleship' arrives in Nanjing, and then I can ask them for an explanation."

    Xiao Qing asked timidly: "Your Majesty, will you really help me rescue my father? How?"

    Zhang Ning came to his senses and said nicely: "First order the factory guards, 'our people', to try to rescue them. If it doesn't work, you have to wait for a while. When our army enters the capital, we will naturally release Doctor Xiao."  .¡±

    "This" Xiao Qing looked worried.

    Zhang Ning turned around and asked, "Did someone see you when you arrested Xiao Qing?"

    "Zhunmei said: "There should be no Xizuo present, even if there was, we just invited her into the carriage, andMove her.  "

    "Very good." Zhang Ning stood up, "Go to the Yang Mansion and invite Miss Luo to come over and let her watch a good show."

    After Zhang Ning gave the order, he walked around the room and thought for a while: Of course Luo Yaoniang was an innocent person who didn't know anything about it, but objectively because she almost endangered her own life, she felt a sense of debt.  Talking nonsense?  On the other hand, she is also willing to resort to bully tactics. She can make a fuss about this matter and counterattack it openly, even if she has no evidence when she tears her face off.

    There are no secrets in the world. Those who know cannot tell them, so it becomes a secret.
