Muchuan smiled slightly and said as gently as possible, "Miss Xiaorou, I wonder if you can tell me who is trying to kill me?"
"I won't say anything, just leave."
After she said these words, she buried her head in the haystack on the ground.
Seeing her uncooperative attitude made the jailer angry. Then he whipped her hard on the back and yelled: "Damn woman, I'm asking you a question! That's it!"
Don’t you want to live?”
One whip fell but Xiaorou didn't say a word, so the jailer whipped her a second time, but she still didn't speak.
When the jailer was about to whip him for the third time, Muchuan made the jailer stop with a wave of his hand.
It can be seen that Xiaorou is indeed a strong-willed person, her body is covered with bruises, but she seems to be numb to the pain and can endure no matter how tortured she is. If the torture continues this time, she may not be able to speak.
But Zhang Jiujiu started to think smart and said: "My lord... why don't you chop off her fingers one by one?
Presumably she will speak."
"You idiot, don't do this!"
Muchuan cursed in annoyance, but Zhang Jiujiu was so scolded that he shrank his head like a turtle.
"Sir, why is this...if a woman like this doesn't have to be tortured, I'm afraid she won't open her mouth anyway."
"Don't use torture all day long. If torture was effective, this woman would have spoken long ago!"
Muchuan said angrily, so this is why he doesn't like stupid officials. Officials like these with bad brains only know how to torture when investigating cases.
In fact, Muchuan may not be as good as Zhang Jiujiu in terms of experience in investigating cases, but he knows that in addition to being able to uncover the truth under torture, he can also get out "subjugation and beating", which is why he opposes the use of torture.
"In addition to torture, there are many ways to interrogate!"
Muchuan snorted coldly, and then gave Zhang Jiujiu a death order, saying that he must treat this female prisoner well. She must not miss two meals a day, she must not torture her, and she must not covet beauty and be frivolous, otherwise she will fight.
Even execution!
Muchuan's death order frightened Zhang Jiujiu and the surrounding jailers, but they did not dare to disobey, so they had to say yes repeatedly.
However, Xiaorou, who was lying on the ground, raised her head and glanced at Muchuan again, with a charming smile on her face: "Mu Chuan... Could it be that you are so kind-hearted and have changed your mind and want to do some male-female things with me?
If you want, you can do it anytime."
"Stop saying such innocent words. I'm not interested in you. I already have someone I like."
"Then why are you treating me so well?
When you men treat a woman like this, aren't you just thinking about those things?"
"I don't feel like I've treated you well. In my hometown, human rights are valued. Even criminals have their dignity."
There are many differences between modern times and ancient times, one of which is the difference in laws.
Judicial and criminal laws, etc., all reflect the rights of prisoners. If they commit a crime, they can call a lawyer for defense. If they are imprisoned, their rights to life, health and personality will also be guaranteed.
It was different here in ancient times. Taking Xiaorou as an example, severe torture was indispensable.
What's even more outrageous is that the people in charge of the prison are all male guards. Seeing a beautiful woman like her, she is afraid that she will inevitably have dirty thoughts.
Although Muchuan could not protect the prisoners in the Tang Dynasty, at least he hoped that the prisoners in front of him could retain their human rights, so he "taken care" of Xiaorou like this.
Xiaorou didn't understand Muchuan's words. In her opinion, Muchuan was taking care of her, but she shook her head regretfully: "Even though you treat me like this, I won't say anything."
"Why?
Because of money?
If it's a matter of money, it can be easily solved, I can give you a thousand and twenty thousand taels of silver."
Hearing Muchuan's generosity made Xiaorou's eyes widen, as if she was hearing some fantasy.
However, her shining eyes quickly dimmed, and then she said helplessly: "Money is indeed very important to me... but I have more important things to protect."
"What is it?"
"I can't tell you."
"Yeah?
Then there is nothing we can do.”
Muchuan sighed helplessly, and with a move of his hand, Temujin pushed him hard to leave the cell.
This scene made Zhang Jiujiu and several jailers around him dumbfounded. How could Muchuan just walk away so freely?
Don’t even ask a few questions?
Zhang Jiujiu chased him out of the cell and said in confusion: "Sir, is that all?
We can’t ask anything!”
"I've already asked some questions."
"Ask something?
What is it?
I’m so stupid that I really don’t understand?”
Muchuan chuckled. He didn't expect Zhang Jiujiu to understand, so he said it all at once.
There is indeed a culprit behind Xiaorou. The culprit must have used something to threaten her, which made her willing to be caught rather than give out any information.
Under such circumstances, if I continue to torture and interrogate him, I'm afraid I won't be able to get anything out of him.
"Wouldn't we gain nothing from this?"
"That's not necessarily the case..."
It sounds like Muchuan has a good plan! Zhang Jiujiu has already heard of Muchuan's reputation for being both wise and courageous, as well as having uncanny calculations. I think Muchuan must have a way to find out the culprit behind the scenes.
At that moment, Zhang Jiujiu raised his hand and asked for advice: "I wonder how you can catch the culprit?"
"I can't tell you this yet, there are still some things I need to find out."
Muchuan showed a mysterious smile, and then ordered Zhang Jiujiu to lead the way. Next, he had to go and see the corpses of the three big men who had taken poison and died.
After a cup of tea, they all came to a "corpse room" in the underground cell. This room was specially used to store the corpses of prisoners. Every once in a while, the corpses inside would be cleaned.
Fortunately, Zhang Jiujiu was smart and knew that these prisoners were of great importance, so he did not dispose of their bodies immediately even if they were dead.
Now, with the help of four jailers, the bodies of the three big men were carried out and placed in the hall in the center of the cell.
On the three wooden autopsy racks in the hall, the skin of the three corpses appeared whitish in color, and their bodies showed scars left from fighting during their lifetimes.
Zhang Jiujiu covered his nose and stood far away, then introduced: "Sir, this is the corpse you want to see... It's just that, sir, we can just take a look at it. These corpses have been verified by the police to be poisoned."
There is no doubt that he will commit suicide. I am afraid that looking at it for too long will stain your eyesight."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Muchuan then began to observe the corpse. Although he did not know much medical knowledge, he still had some investigative techniques.
After observation, he found that the body's skin had been repaired and there were no fatal injuries.
