Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning

Chapter 137 137. Confession

It was not Luo Ning's wish to use torture to extract confessions, but he did not feel too guilty about using it against prisoners whose crimes had already been confirmed.

This interrogation method can easily lead to unjust, false, and wrongful convictions. The key is that the restraint person cannot use it indiscriminately.

However, Shanlin Town is still small now, so he can still grasp Luo Ning's words.

Once the territory expands and the population increases later, and there are some things that he cannot control, it will naturally be accompanied by corresponding laws. It is also necessary to ensure that the law enforcers are relatively fair and impartial and do not use torture to extract confessions.

However, that is all later.

At least for Luo Ning now, he needs to pry open the assassin's mouth and obtain valuable information.

Returning to the warm living room, Chahar was waiting there.

"Master, your new bedroom is ready, and the books and items in the previous bedroom have been moved to the new room."

The old room was in a mess due to fighting spirit, and it was obviously inconvenient to live in.

"What is the extent of the damage to the house? If the safety of this building is seriously threatened, we will have to move out and build a new building."

The main building in the inner castle is not just built casually, it is related to the lord's face.

Just imagine, if a guest comes to Shanlin Castle and lives in a slave-like environment, then one can imagine Luo Ning's reputation in the aristocratic circle.

To be honest, the building Luo Ning lives in now is just mediocre and can't be compared to luxury.

But even building such a building is a big project, and Luo Ning needs to prepare a large amount of money, labor, and resources.

Fortunately, Chahar led someone to check and found that the main structure was not damaged and would not collapse. However, the damaged doors, windows, floors, etc. needed to be repaired by William or other carpenters.

This made Luo Ning relax, and he turned to ask: "Where is Black Tiger?"

Chahar smiled and said: "I don't know whether it is tired or frightened. It is resting in Miss Irene's room now."

"Remember to give it a good meal tomorrow!"

Luo Ning smiled and said: "I was able to escape the assassination safely today, thanks to the little guy who reminded me in time."

Chahar was surprised. He didn't expect that Black Tiger had contributed to this. "Black Tiger doesn't peep at the cubs of the Storm Wolf. It really has extraordinary abilities."

"Haha, when it grows up, it will have many abilities."

The female storm wolf has three abilities in its magic core: speed, tearing, and concealment.

The Storm Wolf generally only masters wind-attribute magic, and the Black Tiger should be able to master the two abilities of speed and tearing when he reaches adulthood;

As for whether it can master the ability to hide, it depends on whether it has inherited the dark attribute of the female wolf.

Early the next morning, Luo Ning got up as usual, washed up, had breakfast, and then did morning exercises.

But the kitchen and the guards had two more tasks than usual - boiling sweet water and looking for ant nests.

Luo Ning originally thought that it would take some time to find the ant nests, but the guards' speed obviously exceeded his expectation. They found three places within an hour, prepared baskets, and dug out with shovels.

When the guards lit a fire in the darkroom, raised the temperature, stripped the assassin of his clothes to only a pair of underwear, and poured warm sweet water on the assassin, fear had already surged out of the shadow's heart. Hold back.

His teeth, his knees, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

And when the guards brought a large basket of ant nests in front of him and opened the lid, Yingying saw the densely packed ants crawling around inside, and his scalp suddenly exploded.

"Hit, move, move, I'll move!"

"Woo, please, take these things away quickly, take them all away..."

In fact, the scene he had been thinking about all night last night had almost made him emotionally collapse. The fact that he could hold on until now was enough to confirm the assassin's psychological quality.

Soon, McCann and others invited Luo Ning over.

Seeing the crying assassin, Luo Ning couldn't help but smile, "Actually, our Shanlin Town is quite kind to prisoners. If you had told us earlier, we wouldn't have to do this." He said, sitting on a chair nearby. He stopped and said, "Tell me, who ordered you to assassinate me?"

"Yes...it was the president who asked me to kill you."

President?

Luo Ning frowned, "The president of the Skull and Bones Society? Who is he?"

"I do not know."

Shadow said weakly, "The president has always been wearing a golden mask. I don't know his true identity. When we contacted each other, he only used the code name 'Skull'."

The leader of the Skull and Bones Society is wearing a mask. It is probably because his true identity is not convenient for others to reveal. Maybe some forces are involved?

"Why did he come to kill me?" Luo Ning continued to ask.

In response, Shadow shook his head.

"I don't know, assassination missions tend not to be described in any detail. But..."

He hesitated for a moment, as if he was thinking about whether to continue to reveal it. After all, it went against his professional ethics.

Bang, bang...

McCann tapped the basket with ants on the side with his long sword. Shadow shivered, and his professional ethics was completely abandoned.

"But the president told me that after the matter is completed, I can go directly to the swamp of Thain Territory to find Baron Leisen and get the bounty of one thousand gold coins back."

Hearing these words, Luo Ning felt as if a stone had fallen in his heart.

Yesterday, he speculated that it might be the assassin hired by Thane, but he hesitated when he saw the logo of the Skull and Bones Society. After all, there were indeed many people who wanted him dead.

But the fact is still as he suspected, there is still the shadow of Leisen behind this matter.

If he wasn't assigned by the other party, why would he go to Leisen to ask for the bounty?

Luo Ning smiled and said to McCann: "It seems that Baron Leisen is really angry with me and would rather spend a thousand gold coins to buy my life."

McCann replied: "In his eyes, the dispute between him and you has become irreconcilable. As long as he can kill you, the four savage tribes and even the mountain town may fall into his hands."

"Not bad!"

Luo Ning nodded secretly. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Pedro, do you know?"

Shadow was a little surprised and nodded, "I know, he was an investigation member of the Skull and Bones Society. He was killed by you."

"Then do you know who wants to kill the Green family siblings Marina and Malik?"

Shadow hesitated for a moment, then said: "It's Baron Leisen. He has a very bad relationship with Baron Herman, so he wants to use us to get rid of Herman's son and daughter, so that he can experience the loss of his son again." Women’s pain.”

"You know very well?"

"Because Pedro is the one I'm responsible for inspecting..."

Luo Ning asked casually, but he didn't expect such an unexpected gain.

It turned out that there was hatred between the Green Territory and the Thain Territory that he didn't understand. It seemed that in the future, an intelligence agent would be arranged to collect various intelligence news among the nobles.

"Okay, I'm very pleased with your honesty, Mr. Shadow."

Luo Ning gestured to remove the basket containing the ants, "Don't worry, I won't kill you, but I won't let you go either."

He stood up and ordered: "McCann, prepare pen and paper, write down all the contents that Mr. Shadow just confessed, and then ask him to sign his name and put his fingerprints."

"Also, Wharton, you should go to Ashland Village now and ask Redal and Tom to come over."
