One Curtain Wind Moon Nine Heavens

Chapter 22
The night became deeper, and the huge Nanzhou fell into a deep sleep. At the second quarter of the ugly, there was the sound of clappers telling the time at the fourth watch from the silent street.

At this time, in the underground prison of a farmhouse in the suburbs, Guanshi Ji and others are interrogating the prisoner who assassinated the young master today.The prisoner's mouth was very stubborn, and he couldn't ask any questions during the second watch. He didn't reveal three words until he was severely punished: Wu Dujun.

"In addition to being poisonous, Governor Wu has no brains and no courage, so continue to fight." Ji Guanshi was unmoved.

At the third watch, the prisoner couldn't hold on any longer, and vaguely put the suspicion on the Meng family.He said that although Meng's family and Beiyue's family canceled their engagement, the existence of Princess Anping has always been a stain on the second young master Meng.

What's wrong?If the Holy Majesty needs the Meng family to marry the Beiyue family, this statement will be overturned at any time.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, it is most reassuring to let her disappear.

"No matter how much the Meng family hates our princess, they won't pick this time to do it." Steward Ji said flatly, "Give him one last chance..."

Before you give one last chance, take someone to a water cell and see a prisoner tied to a stake inside.

"This person participated in the kidnapping of our little princess three years ago. The government thought he was dead, and thought that Lord Hou knew nothing about the people behind the scenes. He was a man, his lower body was completely festered, and he still didn't mention a word." Steward Ji said frankly,
"If you are so stubborn, you will be with him after tonight."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and asked someone to take the prisoner to torture:
"First cut off the flesh on his arms, and then throw him into the dungeon if he refuses to confess after cutting off the flesh on his limbs."

The black hands behind the scenes have failed repeatedly, and they will definitely make a comeback. They are not afraid that they will not be able to catch new prisoners.A dead man is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that life is worse than death. He doesn't believe it. Are all dead men so stubborn?

"Don't cut it, I'll do it, I'll do it..."

Steward Ji: "..." Look.

The last chance, the prisoner was beaten all over by the previous criminal law.After making the confession, he begged Ji Guanshi to reward him with death, which is the only way to save the lives of his family.

Those who are dead soldiers include orphans, rangers who have been deceived, killers hired outside, and some domestic slaves who have been raised since childhood. They have families in the hands of their masters.

Steward Ji did as he wished, killed him, and buried him in a remote place overnight.

As for the other party's family members, they are probably dead long ago.After the kidnapping plan failed, the dead man should have killed himself by crushing the poison pill on the spot.

But they were restrained by the Taoist priest's weird tricks, and they were powerless to kill themselves.

Once captured alive, regardless of whether they confessed or not, their family members will inevitably die, because the masters want to kill them as an example.Unless these people were arrested on purpose and provided false information to allow Hou Dingyuan to find the wrong target for revenge.

Of course, that's not something Guan Ji should worry about, Master Hou has his own decision.

That night, several dead men were interrogated separately. Except for the one who confessed to be the leader, the others obeyed orders and knew nothing about the instigator.

The leader who confessed is dead, and the others are still on trial.

Although they didn't know anything, Steward Ji asked them to inquire about their living habits and environment in detail, hoping to find some clues.

But one thing is certain, the old owner and his wife of the small noodle stall died, including their children and grandchildren who lived in the mountains.

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, killing a few people is nothing.

In their eyes, if the task is successfully completed, the old stall owner's family will be considered worthy of death.It is a common people's honor to be able to serve their master.

……

"Honour?" Yuan Zhao, who was about to go back to Mo Academy for his morning study in the early morning, was slightly startled after practicing the kung fu and the morning food. "Which dragon son and phoenix girl is so honorable? Is it the princess or sister?"

Everyone knows that the princess sister she is talking about must be the sixth princess. The more the other party dislikes her, the more she likes this title.

"According to the direction of the clues, it is indeed somewhat possible." He Chun conveyed the original words of Ji Ji.

According to the prisoner's confession, the superficial mastermind behind the plan to kidnap people was surnamed Shao, known as Shao Weichang.This person doesn't know where he came from, he speaks and behaves arrogantly, and always bosses around the dead with a look of seeing the dead.

The dead soldiers especially hated him, and among the few stewards, everyone was more impressed with him.

Everyone knows that the names of these stewards are all fake, but once, the prisoner who was being sentenced overheard the dispute between the stewards, and yelled at Shao Weichang through gritted teeth:
"Fan Zengfu, don't deceive others too much!"

Ji Guanshi knew who it was as soon as he heard the name.

The current empress's sister is Xia Baozhu, and her brother-in-law Gu Heng is a chariot general, in charge of marching horses and chariots.Gu Heng respects his nanny, loves the house and Wu, and makes the only nanny brother to be the housekeeper.

And Fan Zengfu is exactly the original name of that nanny, and his current name is Fan Zhao.

In addition, Xia Baozhu has a son who has liked the unruly and willful sixth princess since he was a child, and has always followed her lead.

"It means that the person who dealt with me was either General Gu's son trying to please the princess, or he was instructed by the princess?" Yuan Zhao guessed what Uncle Ji meant, "Where is Uncle Ji?"

"Officer Ji rushed to the camp early in the morning to report the results to Lord Hou, and it is estimated that he will be back after dinner." He Chun said calmly.

"Lie," Yuan Zhao glanced at her and spread out the scroll, "The princess was attacked last night, how dare Uncle Ji leave? Tell the truth."

He Chun: "..." Steward Ji refused to speak.

"Forget it, you go out." Yuan Zhao didn't make things difficult for her.

When He Chunru met the amnesty, he quickly thanked En and withdrew.As soon as she left, Yuan Zhao whispered to the maid who waited on the pen and ink:

"Go, go to the front yard and ask."

The maid pursed her lips and snickered, saluted and exited, and found an excuse to leave the inner courtyard with another maid carrying a food box.About half an hour later, the two maidservants who inquired about the news came back, and said gossipingly:
"A woman came to the door, claiming that she was rescued by the third son at the border a few days ago, and she came here specially to serve as a slave as a reward."

"Officer Ji told her that the mansion is sufficient and there is no need for slaves. But she refused to listen, kneeling at the door and refusing to leave..." Another maid curled her lips and said, "According to my servant, this woman probably has other plans."

As for what to draw, either the third son is handsome and handsome, or his family background.Even if the Beiyue Clan were to fall, it would be much better than a life in exile that was precarious.

Yuan Zhao: "..."

Forget it, she doesn't need to worry about such small things, reading is more important.There were too many things to do last night, so I missed the review and recitation. Mr. Wu will take the exam this morning.

"Even though there are delicious delicacies, you don't eat them, but you don't know their purpose; even though you have the best way, you don't learn them, but you don't know their goodness..." Waved back the maid, and read it carefully, recalling the explanation of the husband to deepen the memory, temporarily forgetting everything back.

The loud sound of reading made Mr. Wu, who had just arrived outside the gate of Moyuan, very satisfied.

He had heard about the affairs outside the mansion, and he also saw the maidservant in the student courtyard sneaking out to inquire.It's about my brother, I thought the students would not be able to sit still, but unexpectedly, he still underestimated her determination.

Curious for a while, after finishing her recitation test, Mr. Wu couldn't help asking:

"Princess, have you heard about the incident at the door?"

"Yeah." Yuan Zhao nodded honestly.

"If it were you, she refused to leave, how would you deal with it?"

"Simple," Yuan Zhao said with a calm expression, "Since she is dedicated to being a slave, let her sign a death contract, report to the government and kill her directly."

The slaves who have signed the death contract are the property of the master's family. They can live and die at will and do not break the law.Her majestic General's Mansion neither bullies others nor disturbs the people at ordinary times. How can it be a place where ordinary people can play rogues wantonly?

Cough, what she said made Mr. Wu choke on the water, and frantically found a towel to wipe the water stains.

I'm sorry, I forgot that the princess, the student, has the power of life and death.If you can't deal with the dignitaries in high positions, it's easy to deal with the common people.

Tiger fathers have no dog daughters, even if they are young, they should not be underestimated.
