Chapter 72 You Are From Southern Xinjiang

The prison, which had been silent for a while, became lively again today.

The swaying dim candlelight is projected on the wall, elongating and distorting the shadows of people. At first glance, there are ghostly shadows, coupled with the screams one after another, it is even more creepy.

Chu Wuhen's footsteps stopped at the door, and he didn't continue to move forward. Jin Yiwei, who was carrying the lamp, was stunned for a moment, and looked at him suspiciously: "My lord?"

Chu Wuhen lowered his eyes and said, "Nothing, you go first."

Jin Yiwei hesitated to speak, but seeing that Chu Wuhen had no intention of leaving, he could only take a step forward.

When there was no one around, Chu Wuhen took off the jade pendant, and said in a gentle voice, "Princess Wronged, stay in the lapel of the subject for a while, the prison is bloody and filthy, I'm afraid it will dirty the princess' eyes."

Xie Shuangge waved his hand indifferently: "It's not that I haven't seen it, I can close my eyes if I really can't bear to watch it anymore, I don't want to watch the darkness."

Chu Wuhen was taken aback for a moment, remembering that he had brought Yupei into prison once before, he pursed his lips, "Okay."

A round of torture had already been used in the imperial prison. Three people were tied to the rack, and a few were kneeling with their hands tied behind their backs. They were shivering, obviously frightened.

Xie Shuangge glanced at the tall back facing them.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man turned around, with a fierce look still remaining in his eyes, seeing that it was Chu Wuhen, the man relaxed, his expression slightly restrained, "The humble He Chaoming has met your lord."

Xie Shuangge was not very familiar with Jin Yiwei, only knew Chu Wuhen and Cong Shangyun, this was the first time she had seen He Chaoming.

Tall and strong, with a dark complexion, tough outline, single eyelids, looking a bit gloomy and not to be trifled with.

This appearance has nothing to do with his name.

"Have you confessed?" Chu Wuhen didn't talk nonsense, and got straight to the point.

He Zhaoming backed away a bit, threw away the whip in his hand, brought a chair over for Chu Wuhen to sit down, and laughed, "These people have soft bones, but their mouths are hard. At the beginning, they asked three questions and they didn't know anything. Parents have explained how many times they slept each night."

Xie Shuangge: "..." There is no need to go into such details.

Chu Wuhen: "..."

Normally, these people are not taboo about meat and vegetables, and they are all old men. They can get into that kind of thing by talking about it. Although he doesn't say anything, he won't stop them. After all, this group of people can only talk about it. Said, I am usually so busy that I have to live, how can I have the opportunity to really do something?
It would be too harsh to say nothing.

But...it's different now, there's a noble master hidden in his jade pendant.

He raised his hand to cover the jade pendant, coughed and frowned and looked at He Zhaoming, "Stop talking nonsense."

He Zhaoming was stared at in confusion, why is your lord so angry tonight?
"The folks at Yuelai Casino told me that they didn't know where Meng Changji went, but they knew that there was someone above Meng Changji." He Chaoming said while handing the confession to Chu Wuhen: "My lord, please take a look. "

Chu Wuhen took it over and took a look, thinking that Xie Shuangge wouldn't be able to see it, so he read out, "Meng Changji has no parents or brothers, and he runs a shop in Jindu alone. Came to meet on the third floor of the gambling house, I don't know the exact identity, it is said that he is the real owner of the gambling house, Meng Changji takes orders from him..."

There were not many confessions, and it could be seen that these guys didn't know much about Meng Changji, but he still asked without giving up: "No more?"

He Zhaoming nodded: "No, they said that every time the man came, he came from the back door tightly wrapped up, they didn't know what he looked like, nor how old he was, and the man's voice was hoarse, so it must have been dealt with. "

Chu Wuhen tapped the confession with his fingertips, then turned his head to look at the people tied up on the shelf, "What else do you have to say?"

The half-dead guys cried and begged for mercy: "My lord, the little ones really don't know, Meng Changji pays money, we will do things for him, and we don't know anything else, and we dare not inquire about the master's affairs casually." !"

Chu Wuhen didn't speak, stood up and looked around, and suddenly asked, "Where's the person I sent over?"

He Chaoming said: "In there, after the interrogation, he said he was a thief, and today he went out to steal something, but he didn't steal, and he was almost beaten. His clothes were stripped off during the fight."

"Do you believe it?" Chu Wuhen raised his eyebrows, and walked forward across the bloody ground.

He Zhaoming folded his arms and said, "I don't believe it, the hole in his trousers was obviously burned out, and judging by the way he walks and stands, he should be a practicing family boy, but the subordinates didn't have time to ask more questions, the group of Yuelai Casino People will come, and the subordinates will deal with them first.”

Chu Wuhen didn't speak, his eyes were gloomy.

The series of events tonight made him have a guess. As for whether it was true or not, he had to meet this "thief".

……

Qin Lie was imprisoned in the Imperial Prison. He passed by many cells along the way. Xie Shuangge squinted and looked hard but couldn't see anything clearly. He didn't know if it was to save money or scare people. There was only one light here far away. Yes, it makes people tense, afraid of something suddenly popping out from some corner.

Those prisoners were lying or sitting half dead, and when they heard the movement, they only looked up and glanced at them, and they didn't move or make a sound.

Until they reached Qin Lie's cell.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Qin Lie jumped up from the ground, grabbed the iron bars with his shackled hands and shouted: "The Caomin is really wronged! My lord—my lord, please let the Caomin out. The grass people haven't stolen it yet!"

"Really?" Youyou asked back, causing Qin Lie's crying to freeze for a moment.

Isn't this the man I met by the river before? !
Qin Lie looked over in fear, and saw Chu Wuhen in red clothes behind He Zhaoming.

Chu Wuhen was also looking at him with playful eyes, "Thief?"

Qin Lie came back to his senses, slapped his thigh and was about to howl, when Chu Wuhen's face suddenly changed, and he said firmly: "It's not easy for you to travel thousands of miles from Southern Xinjiang to Jindu to steal things."

Xie Shuangge was surprised: "Is he from southern Xinjiang?"

Qin Lie couldn't help but let go of the iron railing. His mind trembled violently but he still pretended to be calm. He licked his dry lips and said, "My lord, what are you talking about? What are you talking about in Southern Xinjiang? Caomin is a native of Dayan! "

"As soon as you open your mouth, you can't hide the smell of southern Xinjiang. Tell me, who is your master? What is your relationship with Meng Changji?"

Chu Wuhen pressed every step of the way, Qin Lie's scalp was numb, and he couldn't help holding his breath when he heard the three words "Meng Changji".

"My lord, did you recognize the wrong person? Caomin doesn't know Meng Changji..."

"Don't cry when you don't see the coffin, He Chaoming—drag him out to be executed, and put the eleven corpses sent by the Imperial Forest Army in front of him, so that he can take a good look at how his accomplice died."

Qin Lie's complexion really changed this time.

　Don't try to fool Xiao Chu, Xiao Chu is smart
