Su Chen couldn't help but frown, not wanting to stay in this place for another moment.
These remnants of the aristocratic family have been arrested for nearly half a month, but Su Chen has never come to interrogate them, and they are just locked in this dark prison.
The heads of these aristocratic families were all imprisoned in the same cell.
Life in prison was not easy. Even if Su Chen did not order anyone to torture them, it was really an inhuman torture for the heads of these aristocratic families who were used to enjoying fine clothes and fine food.
If it weren't for the strong desire to survive, I'm afraid the environment alone, without sunlight all day long, would have caused the heads of these aristocratic families to have a mental breakdown.
Now, all these heads of aristocratic families who were once well-dressed and full of expressions are now unkempt and have empty eyes.
Squeak!
The prison warden opened the sealed prison door.
Hearing the sound, these family heads looked up and saw a young man with a handsome face and luxurious clothes walking in, surrounded by a group of guards.
"Light up!"
Before Su Chen could say anything, the prison head lit the candle and brought Su Chen a chair.
Su Chen didn't say much, just sat on the chair and looked at these heads of aristocratic families coldly.
At first, these people were not used to seeing bright light suddenly, so they raised their hands to cover their eyes.
After a while, they gradually adapted to this environment.
"I don't have much free time to talk nonsense with you. Whatever I ask you next, just tell me everything you know!"
Su Chen said coldly.
At this time, the heads of these aristocratic families were still a little confused and didn't quite understand what was going on.
But the people present were also smart people. If you think about it for a moment, you will know what happened.
The young man in front of him is not very old, but he has an intimidating majesty. He is obviously someone who has been in power for a long time.
And it is absolutely impossible for a young man like this to be an unknown person.
Plus what happened recently, and why they're here...
Lord Protector!
Someone has already guessed Su Chen's true identity.
“Protect… Lord Protector?
!”
One of the family heads couldn't help but exclaimed.
After he spoke, the remaining family heads looked at Su Chen in horror.
They were all too aware of the mistakes they had made. With the Lord Protector's temperament, he would never let them off lightly!
For a while, these family heads didn't even dare to take a breath.
"I didn't expect you guys to be quite discerning."
Su Chen snorted coldly and continued: "I will only ask you once, who provided those locust eggs to you, and where are they now!"
In just a moment, these family heads' thoughts were already racing a lot.
They are still somewhat unclear about the current situation and dare not speak nonsense easily.
If they revealed all the information they knew at once, they would have no leverage in the game with Su Chen.
Out of past habits, these family heads did not answer Su Chen's questions immediately, but fell silent.
Su Chen was not in a hurry to speak, but stared at them coldly.
For him, the only value of these aristocratic family heads now is information about Westerners.
If they refused to confess honestly, then he would naturally have a way to get them to confess everything on their own initiative.
"Lord Protector, the common people are willing to tell everything they know!"
At this time, a haggard middle-aged man walked out of the darkness.
He is the head of the Zhao family, a wealthy family that once occupied the Jiangnan area.
"Say it."
Su Chen glanced at him lightly.
The head of the Zhao family said: "Duke Protector, the common people know that their sins are serious and they should not agree with those foreigners. Although we are also deceived by them, the common people are willing to plead guilty and tell everything they know. However, the common people still ask the guardian for something.
The Duke can agree!"
"Are you negotiating with me?"
Su Chen sneered, waved his hand, and said calmly: "Pull him out and behead him. It seems that you still haven't figured out your current position. What qualifications do you have to say this to me now?"
"Lord Protector, spare your life!"
The head of the Zhao family suddenly turned pale. He wanted to defend himself, but before he could say anything more, he was escorted out by two guards.
"ah!"
A pitiful scream sounded in the prison, but calmness soon returned again.
Looking at Su Chen, who still looked calm in front of him, the remaining heads of the aristocratic families could not help but break out in cold sweat.
The murderous nature of this Protector is too serious!
These heads of aristocratic families have also seen great storms, but they found that they were so helpless in front of Su Chen at this time.
"You have also seen what happened to the one who accidentally said the wrong thing just now. Don't think you have any qualifications to negotiate with me now."
"Okay, next one."
Su Chen's lukewarm words fell in the ears of these aristocratic family heads like a soul-crushing order from the Lord of Hell.
With the lessons learned from the head of the Zhao family, the heads of these aristocratic families were in a dilemma and no longer knew what to do.
If you say it, you will die, if you don’t say it, you will die!
"It seems that you are all quite tough. In that case, you should go to hell with these secrets. It's not that I can't find out on my own, but I just don't want to waste more time."
Su Chen didn't want to tangle with these people anymore and was about to get up and leave.
"Get ready and escort these people to Chang'an. Then I will kill them in public!"
After saying that, Su Chen stepped out of the cell door with one foot.
"Please stay, Lord Protector, I am willing to recruit you as you are!"
Su Chen turned around and said: "This is the last chance I give you. If you talk nonsense to me again, I will kill you now!"
Su Chen sat back on the chair again.
The head of the family who spoke this time is interesting to talk about. He was the Sun family from which Lotus Sun came.
"Lord Protector, we don't know exactly which country those Westerners are from. They have been talking to us in Tang Dynasty very fluently. It is obvious that they have planned this for a long time."
"The main people we came into contact with were two Westerners, one tall and one short. The taller one was about five feet tall, and the short one was only four feet tall."
…
The head of the Sun family truthfully told Su Chen all the news he knew.
He knew that if he tried to play tricks with Su Chen at this time, he would be asking for his own death. It would be better to recruit him for real, and maybe he could leave a good impression on him, even if it was to leave a whole body.
