Zou He's pupils were almost visible to the naked eye.
Xiao Yu sneered, "Are you afraid now? What did you do earlier!"
Zou He looked at Xiao Yu with a sullen expression, "I don't know what the prince is talking about. Five years ago, there was a plague in Qianzhou. I was ordered to go to Qianzhou to deal with the disaster. What was the situation at that time? The Marquis of Zhenning knows ’s clear as day.
After we returned to Beijing, we reported to His Majesty clearly that the matter at that time, whether it was merit or guilt, had been decided five years ago.
The official heard that the prince was going to marry Su Yunping's daughter as his concubine, but there was no need for the prince to put such a big shit basin on the official's head.
The official is upright and is not afraid of slanting shadows. He has never done anything untoward.
The prince has now teamed up with the Ministry of Punishment to arrest the official. The official is speaking softly, but the official still wants to see the arrest document from the court."
Zou He didn't believe that Marquis Zhenning could really watch the emperor order his arrest and remain indifferent.
He had been arrested for at least more than an hour.
Xiao Yu smiled half-heartedly, patiently waiting for Zou He to finish, and then wrote lightly: "Dreaming? You can do whatever you want? Then my notoriety has been in vain? Come on!"
Xiao Yu gave the order, and two people immediately came in from outside.
The one who is not wearing the clothes of the jailor in the prison cell of the Criminal Department is Xiao Yu's own person.
Xiao Yu didn't say a word, he just raised his chin and nodded in Zou He's direction. One of the two people who came in had a leather whip in his hand and the other held a set of torture instruments.
Zou He's tense and gloomy face just now suddenly collapsed when the two men stepped forward, "What are you doing, what are you going to do? The court can't even produce the arrest documents." Lynching? The King of Nanhuai is not afraid...ah!"
The person who came in couldn't help but put a torture instrument on Zou He's fingers, and pulled the hemp rope on the torture instrument fiercely. The sharp-edged bamboo stick immediately clamped Zou He's ten fingers tightly.
Zou He has been practicing medicine all his life and has no strength to restrain a chicken. How could he withstand the pain? He stretched out his neck and screamed. Big beads of sweat rolled down together with uncontrollable saliva from the corners of his mouth. His forehead tensed up. High veins.
Xiao Yu turned his head to look at Su Luo, "If you can't see it anymore, go out first."
Su Luo shook her head, "It's okay."
There is nothing that can be seen or ignored.
Su Luo told herself that this is fate.
Five years ago, there was no Xiao Yu, and her parents didn't know how they died. When they died, they thought of their newly born son and their ten-year-old eldest daughter. What kind of torment and fear did they feel.
Five years later, with Xiao Yu, she can now stand here and watch others suffer this heartbreaking pain.
Xiao Yu glanced at Su Luo and saw that there was indeed no fear or fear in the girl's eyes, so she didn't say anything more about the dirty, despicable, dark and despicable things in this messy whirlpool. No.
It was impossible for him to keep Su Luo in his house like a delicate flower. Not to mention that he didn't have the ability for the time being. Even if he did, it wouldn't be like this.
People can only be strong if they have experienced and seen. It is always better to be strong yourself than to be protected by others.
He even hoped that Su Luo would be able to protect herself.
What if something happens to him one day...
It was just a flash of lightning, and chaos surged through Xiao Yu's mind and then dissipated. He averted his gaze and turned to look at Zou He.
boom!
The door to the interrogation room was suddenly kicked open.
The huge noise attracted the attention of the people inside, but the two executioners were not distracted at all. The one who should be tortured continued to be tortured, and the one who should be whipped continued to crack the whip. The smell of blood filled the interrogation room layer by layer.
diffuse.
Su Luo turned around and saw the person coming in.
Chen Heng.
Her eyelids suddenly twitched, and her heart couldn't help but twitch.
With a face full of anger, Chen Heng came in and first glanced at Xiao Yu, then his eyes fell on the Minister of Punishment.
"Master Shangshu, you have a good idea. You got a fake Zou He over there and asked your yamen servants to pretend to interrogate you. You tricked me into waiting outside the interrogation room for half an hour, but you ended up using the death penalty here?"
Chen Heng's head was filled with anger.
The Minister of Punishment laughed dryly and said, "I didn't expect the prince to react so quickly. He saw through the official's tricks in half an hour. The official is indeed not as capable as the prince."
Su Luo:......
Chen Heng almost got angry to death with these words.
Just as he was about to say something, Zou He screamed, interrupting his unspoken words. Chen Heng was furious, "Stop!"
His scolding was thunderous. If he were the official of the Ministry of Justice, he would have stopped him.
However, Xiao Yu brought his own people, and people thought Chen Heng was a jerk, so they turned a deaf ear to him, or they attacked him even more ruthlessly.
Seeing that his words were ignored, Chen Heng said angrily: "How dare you, Mr. Zou is an official of the imperial court, do you want to beat him into submission? Why are you still standing there, go and put Mr. Zou down!"
Zou He was hung on a pillar, and Chen Heng ordered the people he brought with him.
Jinbao heard this and immediately stepped forward.
However, one of the people brought by Xiao Yu turned around and stopped him.
That man Su Luo looked familiar. He looked like the man in gray linen and linen clothes who had fought Jin Bao last time in Chunxi Town.
There was a bloody smile on his lips, "The Crown Prince of Zhenning Marquis Mansion has such great official power, you don't even remember the difference between seniority and inferiority. Our prince is the prince conferred by His Majesty. Prince Chen is doing this in front of
In front of our prince, you want to touch the person our prince wants to interrogate?
The Marquis of Zhenning's Mansion is a bit too overbearing.
However, our prince is not unreasonable. Considering that the two families are quite destined, as long as Chen Shizi returns Miss Su’s marriage contract to Miss Su, our prince will immediately release Mr. Zou, how about it?”
Zou He:!
I fucking knew it!
I'm just a cannon fodder!
That bitch Xiao Yu is really acting for personal gain. He talks about investigating the case five years ago. He is so stupid. He clearly wants to use him to force Chen Heng to get engaged to Su!
Do you still need to force it?
Give it to him!
Zou He was in excruciating pain with his ten fingers. There was an uncontrollable saliva flowing from the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Chen Heng.
However, Chen Heng stood there with hesitation on his face.
Zou He:...Hesitate?
If you hesitate, my fingers will be broken if you hesitate!
"Master, give it to him quickly." Zou He urged.
Xiao Yu sat in the chair with a carefree look, his thumb on the corner of his mouth, and a smile with a clear meaning on his face: mockery.
With his eyebrows slightly raised, Xiao Yu said: "Chen Shizi, what do you think? As long as you give me Su Luo's engagement, I will let Zou He go immediately. As for what you did five years ago, it has nothing to do with me. Isn't this a good deal?"
As for me, I don’t speak secretly when I’m clear.
I arrested Zou He just to get back Su Luo's marriage certificate, so you see, I am so sincere, will Chen Shizi return the marriage certificate to us?"
Zou He: What?
Damn it, you had a fart relationship with me just to get the marriage certificate back!
