Chapter 147 It's My Turn to Judge

"Here... come!" Zhang Xun immediately regained his composure after being stunned for a moment.

The two men immediately stepped forward to check the situation of the jailer on the ground.

"My lord, they are still alive, they just fainted."

"Pour water on them to wake them up."

"Yes."

The two men scooped up the water in the bucket next to them and splashed it on the faces of the jailers with a few "squeaks".

The jailers jumped up and got up from the ground.

Zhang Xun asked: "What's going on? Where are the criminals?"

Several people looked at each other, then shook their heads very tacitly.

"My lord, a group of men in black broke into the prison last night and snatched away the prisoners."

"Trash!" Zhang Xun scolded angrily.

Cui Meng stepped forward, looked around the two jailers, and asked, "How many men in black are here?"

"Five!"

"Ten!"

The two jailers spoke at the same time, but the numbers they said did not match at all.

Both of them couldn't help turning their heads back, frowning and glaring at each other fiercely.

Cui Meng sneered: "Master Zhang, the management of your Ministry of Punishments seems to be a bit lax. Even the jailers dare to lie to you, the Minister of Punishments."

Zhang Xun's old face was innocent for a while: "Come here, tie up these two daring guys to me, and torture them."

"Forgive me! My lord!"

The two immediately knelt down to intercede, but now, they spoke in unison.

Soon, the two were tied up, and the iron whips with barbs were beaten on their bodies, but blood was already dripping in a moment.

The crying of the two was even more incessant.

Seeing that the beating was almost done, Zhang Xun raised his right hand.

The men stopped immediately.

Zhang Xun stepped forward and asked, "Tell me, who took the prisoner away?"

"My lord, it is..."

"My lord, they covered their faces with black cloths, we don't know who they are."

One jailer wanted to speak, but the other stopped him first.

After all, the prince had said before leaving that he was not allowed to confess, otherwise, they would not be able to survive.

Zhang Xun rolled his eyes, and picked up a red-hot soldering iron from the nearby fire.

"Tell me, is the person who robbed Princess Ling the King Ling?"

Zhang Xun asked inductively.

The two guards were afraid of being burned by the branding iron, and Zhang Xun asked King Ling instead of the prince, so they nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, it is King Ling."

"My lord, King Ling threatened the villain, saying that if we confessed him, we would kill the villain, so the villain had no choice."

Zhang Xun sneered and put the soldering iron back on the stove.

Walking back to Cui Meng: "Lord Cui, let's go, let's go to Ling Wang's Mansion together to arrest the criminal."

"Wait!" Cui Meng said calmly.

Zhang Xun looked back at him: "Master Cui, what is the meaning of this? Could it be that he wants to protect King Ling?"

"How could it be?" Cui Meng smiled faintly: "I have seen the methods Master Zhang used to interrogate these two jailers just now. Now, Master Zhang has finished the interrogation, and it is my turn to interrogate the two jailors."

"You don't trust me?" Zhang Xun said in a very bad tone.

"Hmph, the result of torture and induced trial may not be the truth. Since Mr. Zhang is helpless, please sit aside for a while and let the judge come to the trial."

Zhang Xun flicked his sleeves coldly, but he couldn't refuse Cui Meng's interrogation, so he could only stand aside with a cold face.

"Come here, untie the two of them."

Cui Meng gave an order, and his subordinates immediately untied the two of them.

The two guards were escorted to kneel down in front of Cui Meng.

Cui Meng glanced at the two of them coldly: "According to the laws of the Longyuan Kingdom, assassinating the royal family is a felony to exterminate the family. Such a serious crime is of great importance. If the guards neglect their duties and let the criminal escape from the prison, it is a crime." When punished."
