Second minister and thief

"My lord! Do you want to interrogate now?"

"Well, wake him up." Chu Linqiu stood up slowly and walked out of the cell.Xu Shi's body was not yet fully recovered, he was about to fall to one side after taking two steps, but fortunately he was firmly supported by his sharp-sighted subordinates.Seeing this, the others quickly moved a wooden chair and placed it not far from the pillar.

"My lord!" Seeing this scene, a young man who followed immediately curled his lips, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Before Hou Ye went back, he came here to tell us to take good care of you and not to make you trouble. You... .. If Master Hou finds out that you are still in this prison at this hour, he will definitely blame me later."

"..." Chu Linqiu glanced at him when he heard the words, and said with a sneer, "What? You have disciplined your master for him before he got through the door... What did the Marquis promise you?" Benefits? Let’s hear it.”

"This..." The young man rolled his eyes and saw that Chu Linqiu was not unhappy, so he said boldly, "How dare my subordinates ask for anything from Lord Hou? This is not Lord Hou. Said, since he left you, there is no one to take care of you, and I am worried that you have treated yourself harshly these days, so... let me pay more attention later. Hehe, this is as expected..."

"Shut up." Chu Linqiu raised his eyebrows, pointed at the man in black who was tightly bound, "I see that your skin is itchy, I want to try this taste. Why don't you go soon?"

"Uh...yes!" The young man shrank his neck and showed a timid look on his face. He didn't dare to say anything, and ran over quickly.Not long after, a bucket of ice water fell from the sky and poured it all on the man, causing him to tremble violently, and then tremblingly opened his eyes and looked over.

"Who are you under? What is your intention to sneak into Taodu?"

"Your Excellency asked you something!" Seeing that the man in black not only did not answer, but also turned his head aside, a jailer immediately came over and pinched his chin, forcing him to turn back, and thus he saw the smirk in his mouth. strange.

"what is this?"

"My lord! There is something!" Another jailer took out a small black bag from his back molars, glanced at it and sneered, "cangdu? How dare you show off this little trick."

"My lord, how to deal with it? I need subordinates..."

Seeing this, Chu Linqiu pursed his white lips, his expression was condensed and his eyes were heavy. After a while, he raised a hand and waved away the crowd, and then asked softly again: "Do you know me?"

"..." The man in black still didn't say a word, but his expression changed a little.

"You know, how do I... treat disobedient people? Peeling off the skin, pulling out the tongue, piercing the lute bone, attaching officials...these are all light. You know the most powerful is what?"

"It's a big deal!"

"Death? It's too easy." Chu Linqiu knew that the most effective way to deal with such a stubborn person was to gradually dismantle his defense from the bottom of his heart.He didn't have much time, if he couldn't pry something useful out of this man's mouth before dawn, then everything he arranged tonight would be in vain.Therefore, he can only ensure one hit.

"Sijin, go over and tell him how we dealt with the last batch of people who fell into our hands."

"Yes! Your Excellency!" The young man called "Sijin" gradually revealed an expression similar to excitement when he heard the words. He crossed his hands and fingers in front of his chest, and let out a "Ka Ka Ka" sound as he walked. sound.

"Let me advise you, disobedience to my lord will not end well." Immediately afterwards, he leaned close to the ear of the man in black and murmured something.Others could only see that the killer's face was a little paler than before, and his eyes gradually showed a trace of panic, but it was soon replaced by another more complicated emotion.

"I'm not someone's subordinate..." The man finally spoke, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, as if someone had poisoned his throat, "Don't try to scare me with some stories, if you have the ability to really of......"

Chu Linqiu no longer had the patience to listen any longer. He turned his head and said to the person standing behind him, "Gag him and punish him."

"As ordered!"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps outside, accompanied by a few whispers.Chu Linqiu knew who was coming without even turning his head. He slowly raised the corners of his lips and sneered, "Lord Lu, you are late again. It seems that the night is long and sleepy."

Those who came were Lord Lu and a group of staff members of the Criminal Court.

Master Lu was disheveled, with disheveled hair and beard, he seemed to have hurriedly got up from the bed, and there was even a trace of sleepiness on his face.But this drowsiness dissipated without a trace when he saw Chu Linqiu who was lazily leaning on the wooden chair.He slowly raised his hand, pointing tremblingly at the various instruments of torture that had been brought out, and shouted loudly, "Chu Linqiu! What happened before is not over yet, yet you are on the territory of my trial court again today!" Abuse of the death penalty! Are you really not paying attention to me, Lu?"

They all called them by their first names, and it seemed that they were really angry.

Chu Linqiu frowned, a little displeased, about to explode.Under normal circumstances, when he was unwell, his temper would be worse, and he would not have much patience, so his tone would not be very good.

"Master Lu, don't you understand what a saint means? Starting today, Chu will take over the case in full, and you will have nothing to do with the Criminal Court. That is to say... I just borrow your Land, leave when you’re done, you don’t need to listen to Master Lu telling you what to do here.”

"You! You are talking nonsense! When did the sage make a decree? How can I not know? Chu Linqiu, do you really think that you can do whatever you want with the support of a sage? You don't know that there are laws above the sage!" The direction of the door arched his hands, and he was upright and awe-inspiring.

Chu Linqiu sneered again when he heard the words, "I've never thought so. It's because you, Mr. Lu, are confused. Sentence!"

"Wait a minute!"

Master Lu hurried forward to stop him, but it was too late, Xuanwu Wei had already picked up a two-finger-thick iron whip and hit the man in black on the back fiercely from top to bottom.

"Ah!!!" The man in black yelled loudly, spat out a mouthful of blood, and hummed heavily, "You Xuanwuwei...that's all you have..."

"Don't worry, the good show is yet to come." Chu Linqiu raised his eyelids and glanced at it with a lack of interest, and finally put both legs on the wooden table brought by the jailers, leaned back, Close your eyes and rest.
