The carriage rumbled to the outside of the big prison, Pei Heng and Xu Jin got out of the carriage in a low-key manner, and the warriors on duty were waiting outside, the jailer bowed his head and stepped forward to guide them, almost hunched over, looking a little trembling - not to blame him, these few days The day saw the important people in Yangzhou city being thrown in with their families and mouths. The big prison couldn't hold so many people, so that the Yangzhou military camp was remodeled on the spot to detain less important prisoners.

The rich land is rich to the bone, and the prison is also built in a very grand style. The stone wall is very strong at first glance. It is basically a dream to dig a hole to escape the prison, but the inside is not luxurious, and it is as dark and damp as it should be. There are not many furnishings inside, a layer of dry grass on the stone platform, rats and insects scrambling around under the wall, and the embarrassed prisoners huddled silently in the darkness.

The jailer witnessed the grand occasion of the sky change in Yangzhou City, and knew that the two who came today were the imperial envoys who overturned the whole city with one hand, so they were terrified, and the hand that touched the key to open the prison door trembled involuntarily.

Standing three steps behind him, Pei Heng saw that the jailer had slipped the keyhole with the key several times, and the metal sound of the keys trembling and colliding almost made the rhythm of the pingtan ditty. He coughed lightly, and said: "So Be nervous about what to do without cutting off your head."

As a result, the jailer's bowed back visibly froze, and the key shook more cheerfully, Pei Heng couldn't laugh or cry.

There was only one small window in this cell, cramped and dark, and there was a person sitting in the shadow, who had been silent for a long time, until then he sneered and said: "The majesty of the prince is naturally unbearable for ordinary people."

Xu Jin said lightly: "Master Han has a tough temper."

The prisoner here is none other than the governor Han Qi who has been stripped of his black hat.

Han Qi didn't answer after hearing the sound, and continued to remain silent in the dark.

Pei Heng said unhurriedly: "I heard that most people were interrogated on the first day, and they were recruited as soon as they were asked, but Mr. Han and a few heroes refused to reveal a word."

Han Qi sneered, as if she was laughing at herself or someone else.

The warrior stepped forward to take the jailer's key, and opened the cell door neatly. Only then did the jailer calm down a bit, and his colleagues on duty escorted Han Qi out of the cell, and followed Pei Heng and Xu Jin to the interrogation place.

Han Qi was wearing a half-worn prison uniform, tied to a wooden frame, unable to move his hands and feet, Pei Heng and Xu Jin sat down on two casually placed grand master chairs opposite him, Pei Heng's light-colored silk robe was glowing in the faint stone room. With a faint halo, his nobility and flawlessness contrasted sharply with the torture tools on the walls around him. He raised his eyes and glanced at Han Qi, and said, "Your evidence of crime is convincing, and all the personal and physical evidence collected is enough to convict you. A cutscene."

Han Qi looked at him coldly, and couldn't see the thoughtfulness and earnestness when they first met outside the city at all. It seemed that this was his attitude towards Pei Heng from the bottom of his heart all the time.

Pei Heng paused for a moment, then continued: "It doesn't make any difference to you whether to recruit or not to recruit, and you may be given a lighter sentence if you cooperate with the confession, but with your attitude... I think, either You can't calm down, or...you have committed a more serious crime!"

Han Qi's eyelids trembled suddenly, but she quickly controlled her urge to look up at Pei Heng, and said calmly: "Your lord thinks too much, the crime of grassroots should be colluding with the Sun family's rebels, right? Capital crime, why bother to meet the court again before dying?"

Pei Heng's sharp eyes caught the sudden strangeness in him just now, and he said calmly: "Master Han's words are also true, but unfortunately, this king came here on the emperor's order, so we must examine it clearly."

Han Qi glanced at Pei Heng with a cold and strange look: "It's an honor for Han, the prince is here to execute the execution himself?"

Pei Heng had already noticed that he was hiding something, and it was as if he was trying to buy time for something, but there was no sign of impatience on his face, and he took the time to smooth out the folds of his cuffs and casually said: "This king is tired these days , not very active, leave the execution to the person next to me, Mr. Han, offended."

When Pei Heng's voice fell, he turned his head and gave Xu Jin a slight nod. Xu Jin got up and walked to Han Qi casually. Han Qi didn't wait for the expected torture of whipping and ironing. Her eyes were evil in the dimness, and Han Qi fell into the trap of those eyes for a moment of bewilderment.

Pei Heng's voice was indistinct in his ears: "He is not carefree, even though the concubines in the other courtyard in the south of the city are nameless, they are his treasure..."

Han Qi fell into an ice cellar, but he could no longer make a sound, and fell deeply into the illusion set up by Xu Jin.

Pei Heng sat in the same place and waited quietly. After a while, he saw Han Qi with an expression of extreme pain on his face, sweating as if a gate had been opened.

Xu Jin tilted his head slightly to observe, concentrating on it, and after a while he said: "It should be almost the same, the pain of being trapped in the illusion of the mind is not inferior to the pain of the physical body, if it is too much, I am afraid that I will go crazy.

Pei Heng responded softly, so Xu Jin withdrew his spiritual power.

Han Qi suddenly opened her eyes and gasped for breath, with a painful growl from her throat, the dark color seemed to have collapsed in madness, after a while, she saw her surroundings clearly, and after a while, her whole body trembled.

When Pei Heng saw him, he knew that Han Qi's defenses had completely collapsed. He subconsciously looked at Xu Jin, but Xu Jin smiled at him with gentle and pure eyes, as if the person who inflicted the terrible punishment was not him at all.
