I smashed the emperor's daughter

Chapter 125 The Blonde Girl

"What are you going to do, Che..."

Andrew hadn't finished speaking halfway, as if he suddenly remembered Li Yuntang's previous threat, he swallowed the word "Khitan guy" back abruptly, and his voice changed from tough to begging again:
"I've said everything, why don't you let my child go..."

"Did I say I was going to hurt her?"

Li Yuntang leaned in the direction where Andrew was, with a flashing smile on his face, then turned his back and continued:
"You father and daughter have been separated for a while, and I let your family reunite, isn't it good?"

After talking, Li Yuntang didn't want to say any more, he winked at Zhang Xianqiu and walked out; the latter understood, and followed him to an empty corner in the dungeon.

As soon as the two stood still, Zhang Xianqiu couldn't wait to speak: "Does the angel suspect that the 'daughter' that Andrew mentioned is not his own flesh and blood?"

Li Yuntang didn't say yes or no, but there was a little surprise on his face, and then he asked in turn: "Why, Mr. Zhang also saw something?"

"I don't think there's anything strange about being humble," Zhang Xianqiu tactfully said no, then leaned closer, and talked about the ins and outs of his speculation:

"It's just that when the barbarians were interrogated separately, the Greek named Tasos was the most noisy. He often asked one of them, and he would answer seven or eight sentences at once like beans pouring from a bamboo tube. Therefore, this person The record of the interrogation is particularly lengthy;
At that time, it seemed that his bunch of nonsense was really annoying, but when I recalled it now, I remembered that he once said, 'The relationship between the father and daughter seems a bit abnormal. '

And now that the angel wanted to bring his daughter here, I made a guess along this line of thought - if the woman was really not Andrew's daughter, then I had neglected to observe. "

"Boss Zhang is too serious."

Li Yuntang pressed Zhang Xianqiu's hand that was about to bow, signaling him not to go too far on the line, and then comforted him:
"The police in Nan Ya have no right to interrogate them, so they are naturally not familiar with the matter of torture, but when they found out that there was something wrong with Bu Yi, they took all the suspects under control, and recorded the confessions of the Yi in one or two days. It is not easy.

It is understandable that such a trivial matter that has nothing to do with stealing tea has not been noticed. "

Zhang Xianqiu said in his mouth, "Thank you Angel for your understanding", but his face didn't look so relaxed, and he continued to ask a question that didn't make sense:
"Dare to ask the angel, after seeing the confession and the angel's words and deeds, I guessed that the relationship between the father and daughter is different. On what basis do you suspect that they are not father and daughter?"

"I don't have any evidence, everything is conjecture."

Li Yuntang still didn't answer directly, paused for a moment after answering, and threw a question to Zhang Xianqiu again:
"Zhang Ju might as well think about it differently. If you are the Andrew who was locked up, how can you get out of this dungeon alive?"

After being asked such a question, Zhang Xianqiu was stunned for a while, and after careful consideration, he tried to analyze:
"If you want to live, you have to prove that it is useful to me, a big man, and it is of great use, otherwise the fact that he helped the barbarians steal tea is enough to sentence him to death!
What's more, he also knows the ins and outs of the emperor's more than 900 million taels of silver. Once the whole story is leaked out, it will definitely shake the government and the public. "

Li Yuntang shook his head, showing dissatisfaction with the answer, then lowered his voice a little, and said again:
"He is well versed in the history of our dynasty, and what he said about the situation in Tianzhu and the military situation in the Northwest has already proved his value, but do you think I can safely use him instead of killing him?"

The word "use him" awakened Zhang Xianqiu in an instant. He naturally felt that Andrew was very valuable and worth using, but he felt that this barbarian was untrustworthy; and when this thought came out, the answer Li Yuntang wanted was also It is instantly clear:
"What the angel means is that if we want to use him, the most important thing is that we have the means to control him. First, we can let him control his mouth, and second, we must prevent him from escaping without permission and never return?"

Li Yuntang nodded slightly to express his approval, and he did not forget to add:
"This principle is not difficult to understand. We can figure it out, so he naturally understands it; if we put ourselves in the shoes of others, it is not difficult to find that what Andrew needs to do most at the moment are two things:
One is to prove your worth, and the other is to prove that you have weaknesses! "

After being introduced into this perspective, Zhang Xianqiu suddenly realized that if blackmailing Andrew into their use was set as the goal, then the suspicion of the father-in-law in front of him would naturally come naturally.

Not only do you have to doubt the authenticity of the blood relationship between the two, but you also have to doubt whether Andrew has a deep affection for his daughter. Otherwise, if he is an irresponsible father who leaves his daughter and runs away at a critical moment, things will be extremely troublesome.

Both of them are smart people, just looking at each other, Li Yuntang knew that Zhang Xianqiu understood what he meant, Zhang Xianqiu did not delay, and made a little gesture to the prison:
"Angel, before the woman arrives here, why don't you go and bring up the Greek Tasos and ask her here?"

After getting the consent, Zhang Xianqiu quickly turned back, and after a while, there were three or four footsteps. Li Yuntang looked back, and two guards followed behind their bureau chief, escorting Tassos who was put on a splint.

And Zhang Xianqiu's voice also sounded:
"Angel, this Tassos is the translator of several other barbarians who can't speak Chinese. He can understand official Chinese and speak it fluently. You can ask any questions you want."

When Li Yuntang heard it, he suddenly felt that he had saved a lot of trouble, so he opened his mouth and asked what he wanted to know the most:
"I heard that the relationship between Andrew and his daughter is a bit abnormal. Can you specifically explain why you feel this way, and give some specific examples?"

"My lord, I have to admit that I was wrong before. Andrew is a respectable father. He may not know how to express his fatherly love for his daughter."

Li Yuntang instantly understood why Zhang Xianqiu would say that this person would annoy people when he recorded the confession. He talked too much, and he was wrong; he didn't have much time to waste on this person, so he coldly threatened said a sentence:
"Anything I ask, you answer. Otherwise, I'll let you try what's called an 'inverted pendant stone'—that's the kind of punishment Andrew received before."

"Oh, damn it, I shouldn't have said so much nonsense." Thasos dared not talk about other irrelevant things for a moment after being so intimidated, and confessed honestly:
"When Andrew was on the boat, he often locked his daughter in the cabin and forbade anyone from approaching her. I heard his daughter want to talk to him, but there was no response;
My thought at the time was that if Andrew didn't want his daughter to come into contact with idlers and get into some bad habits, then it was reasonable to lock her up, but why is it strange that a father doesn't want to communicate with his children?
And just now I realized that he is just a rough guy who doesn't know how to express his feelings to his daughter. "

Li Yuntang waved his hand, motioning to take the noisy person away. The clues provided by Tassos were not useless, but they were not enough to make a conclusion, so he had to think of other ways.

The most important thing in this matter is to ensure that this daughter is very important to Andrew. If Andrew admits that he is not his daughter if he is tortured, then the matter of employing people will be in vain, and he will lose a chance to learn more about the Western countries, especially Brett. country relations.

But if the investigation is not strict, there will be problems. After he gets away with it, he will return to the previous predicament, and Andrew may slip away.

After thinking for a while, Li Yuntang came up with a good idea. He whispered to Zhang Xianqiu for a while, and after the latter heard it clearly, he gave a thumbs up secretly, and then left as ordered.

Not long after, a voice suddenly came from the stairs of the dungeon, and he knew that someone was coming down. Li Yuntang looked back and saw a pair of wooden shoes walking slowly down the stone steps; Suddenly, there was a faint feeling of indifference and grace.

There are no socks on the feet, so the ankles and insteps are clearly visible; even under the dim oil lamp, the insteps look extremely white, and the ankles, which are so slender that one can hold them, are matched with delicate ankle bones , looks particularly pitiful.

As the man slowly descended, Li Yuntang's whole figure came into view. He was wrapped in a slightly loose linen dress, so he couldn't tell what his figure was; Not tall, presumably a girl.

There was a huge hood on the girl's head. Li Yuntang felt that the hood was very annoying, because it and its shadow covered most of her face, making it difficult to see the face of the visitor.

But as he got closer, it was easy for him to see that the exposed half of his face had creamy skin, and his nose was tall and straight but still petite. The combination of the two was just right, just like nature.

It's just that the two thin lips under the nose don't have much color and look a little pale, which makes people's pity grow a lot in an instant.

After realizing that there was someone in front of her, the girl turned her head slightly, as if to show her favor behind her, whether she could stop.

But Li Yuntang had put away his compassion for the fragrance and cherished the jade, walked straight up, lifted the hood rudely, and wanted to see the girl's true face in Lushan——

The blond hair, which was as smooth as water and without a trace of variegation, instantly brightened the surroundings.

The blond hair is slightly curled, giving people a sense of exotic beauty, and her two big clear blue eyes have already shown a look of panic, coupled with the childishness on her face, making the whole face look like a fine piece of clothing. A finely crafted work of art, perfect without any flaws.

Facing the sudden appearance of a young boy in front of her, she wanted to back away but couldn't because the escort was standing behind her; in desperation, she could only turn her face slightly and use her hands to block the slightly aggressive gaze——

Looks pitiful, weak, and helpless.
