such as Yue Linyuan

Before leaving the stone room, Si Yuanting looked sideways at Chu Yuezhi, who had returned to his usual elegant and cold appearance, and said indifferently: "After leaving this stone room, I am afraid that the governor will not be able to easily let Prince An leave the east. factory."

Chu Yuezhi kept his brows still, and said: "This matter is so big, if the emperor doesn't let this king's subject suffer a little bit, the anger in his heart can't be dispelled. If the governor needs to use punishment, this king will also be punished." live."

"Thinking too much, the power in the hands of the governor has not yet reached the point where he can punish Prince An so arrogantly." Opening the stone gate, Si Yuanting stepped aside, and then spoke in a familiar eunuch tone: "Prince An, please go. This way."

Going round and round through the dark corridor, Si Yuanting led Chu Yuezhi to the interrogation room. Lin Zhifei and Jiang Sheng were separated into two interrogation rooms. Their tired faces obviously hadn't slept all night. And except for the candle in front of them, the interrogation room was completely dark.

"Prince An, you should think about whether you have something to tell the governor, otherwise, you will have to spend a few hours in this interrogation room like them." While Si Yuanting was speaking, a Dongchang The guard opened the door of another interrogation room, and it was pitch black inside, but there was not even a single candle left.

The sharp eunuch's tone seemed strange in this dim space, but Chu Yuezhi just smiled slightly when he heard it, and said, "What does this king want to confess? I have never seen the two people here. The Lord used them to frighten the king, and I don't know what he intends to do."

"You really haven't seen it?" Si Yuanting glanced at the guard who opened the door of the interrogation room unintentionally, and said with a sneer, "This woman is Fang Zhili's first wife, Prince An will not recognize it, right?"

Looking up at Si Yuanting in surprise, Chu Yuezhi took another serious look at the interrogation room where Lin Zhifei was, shook his head and said, "Why does the king recognize Fang Zhili's wife? Has the governor ever seen a man who went to find him?" Will you bring your wife with you if you have fun?"

"The governor is only asking according to the rules. Why is Prince An rushing to ridicule the governor as an eunuch who doesn't know how to be a man?" Slowly turning the white jade finger on the thumb, Si Yuanting said again: "Prince An said he didn't know Fang Zhili's first wife, then this one in the interrogation room, Prince An will also say that he has never seen him?"

Chu Yuezhi followed Si Yuanting's words and looked into the grid at the door of Jiang Sheng's interrogation room. After looking carefully for a long time, he said with an innocent face: "Supervisor, don't embarrass me, who is this man? This king really has no impression at all."

"This person is Si Jiang Sheng, head of the Ministry of Rites, an official of the court, and Prince An said he has never seen him?" Si Yuanting made no secret of his sarcasm, "Although I only need to go to court every day for officials above the sixth rank, but An Prince, don't forget that all officials in the Beijing Dynasty can go to the court to perform their duties. This Jiang Sheng has been to the court more than once before."

Chu Yuezhi raised one eyebrow, and the already emotionless eyebrows and eyes became a little colder, and he said with a completely irrelevant expression: "Did the governor forget that this king has always been indifferent, and has no rights and no rights?" Dang, I just went to the morning court to show my face, not to mention the head of the Ministry of Rites, even the few ministers of the second rank, this king only recognizes them, and has never had a few contacts."

"So, Prince An insists on not knowing these two people?" Si Yuanting asked without hesitation.

Chu Yuezhi spread his hands together, and said: "This king has nothing against Fang Zhili, and there is no reason to kill him, let alone kill him. Although there is no excuse for the crime, this king surrendered the military power himself. Afterwards, he was just an idle prince, and he never offended the governor, the emperor ordered the governor to thoroughly investigate the case to repay the king's innocence, not to allow the governor to wrong the king."

Si Yuanting raised the corners of his lips, patted his hands twice, and said slowly: "I didn't expect Prince An to be so eloquent, but this governor underestimated Prince An."

"Supervisor, thank you." Chu Yuezhi nodded, and asked curiously: "I don't know why the supervisor imprisoned Fang Zhili's wife and the head of the Ministry of Rites here? If so, please ask Fang Zhili's wife." That's all there is to the whereabouts, does the head of the Ministry of Rites have anything to do with Fang Zhili's death?"

"Prince An said just now that he didn't know these two people, so why did he come to talk to the governor right away? Could it be that he was afraid that the governor would find out some evidence against Prince An?" Si Yuanting exchanged words with Chu Yue in a leisurely manner. Playing tricks, the temptation between words makes it hard to tell the truth from the fake.

"The governor's words are over. I just don't quite understand why the head of the Ministry of Rites is involved." Chu Yuezhi raised his hand and straightened his clothes, and said, "The governor put the king in the middle of the night last night. Inviting me to Dongchang to drink tea, not only let me play chess with the governor all night, but even the tea I drank was cold; now the governor brings me to the interrogation room to meet people I don’t know at all, I deliberately opened the door of the empty interrogation room, although I used to be a general who only knew how to lead troops to fight, but why does this king feel that these methods of the governor are not like normal case handling, but more like intimidation?"

"Threat?" Si Yuanting looked at Chu Yuezhi with great interest, and saw that after he adjusted the collar on the inside of the skirt, the marks on his neck were covered, so he deliberately walked two steps closer to him, smiling He said with a nonchalant smile: "In Daheng's country, is there anyone who doesn't know that Prince An has made great military exploits, and how can this governor have the ability to intimidate Prince An? As for the interrogation room, Prince An doesn't know anything about it. Dongchang has its own procedures for handling cases. In order to prevent the people involved in the case from colluding, the interrogation has always been done separately, so there is this separate interrogation room. The governor invited Prince An to play chess last night, and it was already for the sake of Prince An's honor. The two in the interrogation room can be Without such treatment, since entering the interrogation room yesterday, I have been alone in it for nearly ten hours without eating, drinking or sleeping."

This is the unique interrogation method of Dongchang. If someone who cannot be easily tortured enters Dongchang, he will not be interrogated or interrogated immediately, but will be locked in the interrogation room and wait for a period of time.There was no light in the interrogation room, and only a very thick and difficult-to-burn candle was lit to give the people locked in the interrogation room a little light, and nothing else; not only that, but the Dongchang guards guarding the interrogation room They will shift shifts from time to time, making noises so that those locked up will not be able to rest.

The physical senses have been destroyed, and being locked up alone with no one to talk to, no matter how long it takes to suffer without eating, drinking, or sleeping, not to mention ordinary people, even soldiers with excellent psychological qualities after training may not be able to bear it This kind of mental and psychological torture.

This kind of criminal trial can neither be said to be tortured, but also allows people to confess, not to mention how credible the confession is, or whether the confession that was signed and pledged at the end is true, at least so far. The people in Dongchang had to spit out something real.

"Dongchang is indeed a good method. It's a pity that the king knew too late about such a bloodless interrogation. Otherwise, he would not have to spend so much effort to interrogate prisoners of war. There are a lot of torture tools, and the battle reports are still pitifully small." Chu Chu Yue Zhi looked at Si Yuanting approaching, but he didn't move, he smiled without sincerity, and his words were positive and negative.

"It's not too late for Prince An to know. Originally, the governor thought that Fang Zhili's death had nothing to do with Prince An, but now the head of the Ministry of Rites was involved, which really made the governor suspicious, so he invited Prince An Come to Dongchang to recognize someone."

Raising his chin and looking straight into Si Yuanting's eyes, Chu Yuezhi seemed very displeased with this meaningless conversation that kept going around in circles, showing a little impatience: "This king has been under house arrest in the mansion, how did the head of the Ministry of Rites get involved?" , I don’t know anything about it. The governor asked me to come to recognize him, and I also said that I have never met before today, so I wonder if the governor has any other questions?”

"Fang Zhili's case was originally a murder case, but now because of this murder case, it involves the dereliction of duty by officials in the Ministry of Rites who used their power for personal gain. According to Prince Yi'an, because of his house arrest, the farce that has caused a lot of uproar in the capital is true." One question and three questions. After thinking about it, I really don't understand why Prince An, as the suspect identified by the creator, is not in a hurry to clear himself of the suspicion. Although this statement is beyond the norm, the dignified prince, even if he is under house arrest The news shouldn't be so blocked, shouldn't it?" Si Yuanting's tone is still unhurried, but his eyes have become a little sharp, and every word he utters is full of Chu Yuezhi whether he denies it or admits it. is the wrong trap.

"I see what the governor means, and I don't intend to let the king go." Speaking of this, Chu Yuezhi naturally didn't understand what Si Yuanting meant, and glanced at the room that didn't even light the candles. In the interrogation room, Chu Yuezhi asked: "Where is the governor going to lock this king?"

Following Chu Yuezhi's gaze into the black hole-like interrogation room, Si Yuanting slightly bowed to Chu Yuezhi, and said, "This governor does not have the power to imprison Prince An without authorization, but if Prince An is willing to cooperate, it will be fine." It can save Bendu a lot of trouble."

With a low snort, Chu Yuezhi said with indifferent indifference and arrogance on his face, "It seems that in order to prove my innocence, this is inevitable. The governor is really capable, this move is to be courteous first, and then soldiers, this king has no choice but to obey."

"Prince An congratulates me." Si Yuanting returned the words without changing his expression, and raised his arms in front of Chu Yuezhi, "After the door of the interrogation room is closed, even the sound cannot come in, so I will wrong Prince An next. "

Glancing at Si Yuanting coldly, Chu Yuezhi put his hand on it, and in just a few steps, Si Yuanting led him into the interrogation room Shan had prepared for him.

In the real interrogation room with no light at all, as soon as Chu Yuezhi entered Si Yuanting, he pulled him to the corner and pressed his back against the wall. There are four words that can hardly be grasped: "be patient, don't be afraid."

When he came back to his senses, Si Yuanting had already walked out of the interrogation room, and raised his hand to let the guards close the heavy stone door of the interrogation room.

Suddenly, there was only a dead silence in the surroundings.
