"You are... you are... the wife of... General Gu...!!" Mrs. Tu opened her eyes wide in surprise.
A kind of fear began to well up in my heart.
"Not bad? Although people are old, their memories have not faded. Yes, she is Mrs. Gu back then, the wife of General Gu Bei Ming Yuan. How about it? Are you surprised or surprised to see her? Does it remind you of anything?
What?"
As she spoke, Tao Qiqi stood up and came to Mrs. Tu, then slowly squatted down and admired her fearful eyes and the expression on her face up close.
"No...no...I don't know her. I just saw it wrong. People get dazzled easily when they get old." Mrs. Tu began to deny what she just said.
But it had no effect. Tao Qiqi said lightly: "It doesn't matter. If you can't remember it, I will naturally have many ways to remind you. Although you are old, but with me here, will I let you go down for a while?
To accompany your son.
Besides, you should not be the only one who knows what happened back then. If you don't tell me, there will naturally be another person who will. After all, she has no friendship with your master."
"You...what do you want...to do?" Mrs. Tu asked with a frightened look on her face.
Tao Qiqi replied coldly: "I don't want to do anything. I just want to know why my mother, Mrs. Gu, encountered bandits back then?"
Speaking of this, Tao Qiqi took the initiative to give Mrs. Tu a vaccination before she could deny what happened that year.
"Don't try to lie. If I can find you today and keep you here, I will know a lot of things. I kept you here and got some information from your mouth just to confirm some things. I want to retaliate.
No one can stop hatred."
"Are you Mrs. Gu's son? Then you...your father is General Gu Bei..." Mrs. Tu looked shocked again.
Tao Qiqi: "What if it's not?"
Mrs. Tu: "Mrs. Gu didn't die back then, but she gave birth to you?"
Looking at Mrs. Tu, Tao Qiqi did not answer her question, but said slowly: "Tell me, who instigated you back then. If you tell the story clearly, I can consider not doing it to you."
Torture."
"I don't understand what you're talking about." Madam Tu didn't know yet that danger had surrounded her, and she thought she could still deceive Tao Qiqi by pretending to be stupid.
But Tao Qiqi didn't want to waste time. Seeing that Mrs. Tu was so ignorant, there was no need for her to be merciful. She raised her hand and said, "Give Mrs. Tu some appetizers."
"Yes." The jailer agreed and took out a pair of fingerboards.
For prisoners who don't speak up, jailers have many years of experience and know how to manipulate them.
With ten fingers connected to the heart, how can an old woman withstand it?
Seeing that the jailer was serious, Mrs. Tu saw that her fingers had been covered with fingerboards. If the jailer exerted force, she would face torture that would be worse than death.
At this moment, Mrs. Tu quickly shouted: "I said, I said."
When Tao Qiqi heard this, she twitched her lips and said, "It's not that stupid. Tell me."
"Yes...it's Concubine Yuan."
"Concubine Yuan is in the palace, and there are many things that are inconvenient for her to handle, so she asks me to help her outside. Every time there is something to be done, she will send a message."
"When I received her letter that time, she asked me to go to Sihu Village to find their second-in-command, and then revealed the news to him. A noble lady will pass by the foot of Sihu Village in the near future. As long as they set up an ambush, they can destroy it.
Earn a vote."
"I am only responsible for delivering letters. I don't know anything about the rest."
"Really, that's all I know. I've said everything I know."
After listening to Mrs. Tu's words, Tao Qiqi stared at her, and then said slowly: "I can't help but praise you. I just said that you are not stupid, so you are not stupid. It seems that you are still not awake enough. Take action."
As soon as he finished speaking, the jailer received Tao Qiqi's instructions and pulled the ropes in his left and right hands to both sides, while the splint was squeezed in the middle.
Madam Tu's ten fingers caught in the middle immediately felt heart-wrenching pain.
As the pain came, Mrs. Tu screamed like a slaughtering pig.
As the jailer used more force, the pain became stronger and stronger. It felt like all ten fingers would be broken immediately.
But forget it if it's not broken, the pain becomes stronger and stronger, and in the end it's not broken even though my fingers are dripping with blood.
Blood was stained on the splint, and Mrs. Tu's entire hands were stained red, and she could only feel that her flesh and blood were blurred.
Seeing that Mrs. Tu's face was pale and she seemed about to faint from the pain, Tao Qiqi immediately raised her hand to signal the jailer to stop.
When the jailer saw Tao Qiqi raising her hand, he relaxed the rope in his hand.
As soon as the rope was relaxed, the splint was also relaxed, and Mrs. Tu immediately felt her hands coming to rescue her.
Then he crawled on the ground and gasped for air, trying to relieve the pain in his hands.
"How's it going? Have you remembered anything now? I can give you another chance. However, my patience is also limited. If I don't tell you this time, I can't guarantee whether the jailers will treat you differently in a while.
you."
"I thought... I remembered." Old Mrs. Tu replied, panting heavily.
"Just tell me as soon as you think of it."
"Back then...back then I...I was the maid next to Princess Delan, but Princess Delan was just a little girl at that time."
"Later, I got married at the discretion of Princess Teresa's biological mother. But since then, I basically have nothing to do with Princess Teresa."
Listening to Madam Tu talking about her time as a maid, Tao Qiqi immediately interrupted her, "Let's get to the point! I'm not that interested in hearing your story."
"The point...the point is, just over ten years ago, before Mrs. Gu's accident, I received a letter from Princess Delan. She asked me to go to Sihu Village to find their second-in-command and ask him to do it for her.
one thing."
"Princess Delan asked you to join forces with the Four Tigers Village to kill my mother?" Tao Qiqi looked at Mrs. Tu coldly and asked.
"No, it's not."
"Princess Delan just wanted them to use the pretext of robbery to taint Mrs. Gu, so that General Gu Bei would dislike her. She never thought of killing her."
Hearing Tao Qiqi's scarlet eyes, she said coldly: "What do you mean, your good master still has a conscience?"
"She had a good plan. She found someone to cause an accident and tarnished my mother, so that my mother would feel sorry for my father and be despised by my father. In this way, the final outcome for my father and my mother would be that either my mother committed suicide because of the thought, or
My father divorced his wife."
"In this way, your good master will be very happy. You can watch my father and mother suffer so much with your own eyes, and my mother will be looked down upon and tortured."
"What's more important is that your good master can take advantage of this moment and sneak in."
