Extorting confessions by torture is Jin Yiwei's specialty. In fact, this ghost was so precious about his life that Du Shu could not hold out for long before he did all the tricks.
The people who destroyed the Lingyue clan were Master Evil Dao, Monk Lingyu, and Du Shu, but the one who asked them to do this was a Taoist priest from the Xiaoyao sect.
I don't know his name, I don't see his appearance, I don't hear his voice. The only things that connect the three of them are letters and that unfathomable figure from behind.
Du Shu confessed that he was willing to obey the order, firstly because of the price offered by the Taoist, and secondly because of the Taoist's great magical power. In the letter to him, he mentioned an old incident that almost broke his
Be defensive.
Du Shu knew that this man was extraordinary. With the temptation of interests and the coercion of leverage, he had to obey orders. By analogy, the other two people might be similar.
"Sir, you are aware of my martial arts skills. Now that I have found my way back, I am willing to surrender to the imperial court. I beg you to be lenient and give me a chance to be loyal next time." In the prison, Du Shu, who was tortured in great pain, knelt on the ground and begged.
road.
Jinyiwei's prison, even an ordinary cell, is more terrifying than the Xuantian Sect's black jail. Those jailers wearing embroidered spring knives are the most terrifying existences in the world.
Outside the dim cell, there was only a weak candlelight beating. Du Shu could barely see the two thousand households guarding the person in the center from the darkness. Unfortunately, he could only see a vague outline.
After a long time, the man finally spoke: "I'm quite curious that someone like you can actually be held accountable. Let me tell you."
The voice was unexpectedly young, and the strong sense of teasing in the words made Du Shu feel extremely humiliated. But now that he was imprisoned, he could only bow his head.
"Report to your lord"
Du Shu knew that confessing this past could be regarded as surrendering to the Jin Yiwei, so he gritted his teeth and said: "More than twenty years ago, I received money from someone to attack and kill a group of troops heading north in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Convoy"
"That's it?" The man seemed a little dissatisfied.
Du Shu gritted his teeth and said in a somewhat horrified tone: "At that time, I and the other sixteen people took action and killed the owner of the motorcade and his bodyguards, a total of eight people. Afterwards, I found out that the person who was sitting in the car that day,
He is the current prince."
After saying this sentence, Du Shu's back was completely soaked with cold sweat. He knew that once such a huge case was discovered, he would definitely die without a burial place.
So he is betting that he still has value in the eyes of Jin Yiwei. This secret is enough for Jin Yiwei to hold him hostage for the rest of his life. In this way, although he can only continue to be a knife and a dog in this life, compared to dying like this,
After all, it is much stronger.
Du Shu is now at the age where he knows his destiny. It is better to live than to die.
".There is such a thing?"
Du Shu's words made the already quiet cell become even more deadly silent at the moment. No one, including Lu Hanjiang, expected that such a clever move could lead to such ingenious information.
Although Lu Hanjiang already knew the fact that the prince was still alive and that he had seized the entire Xuantian Sect for his own use, the truth of that year was no longer important to him.
However, the information provided by Du Shu is still useful. If you follow this line of investigation, you may be able to know what happened back then. Was it a sudden disaster that allowed the prince to take advantage of his plan, or was it their own directing and acting from beginning to end?
"Sir, now you can trust me in my sincerity." Du Shu said in a hoarse voice, as if he was deflated, he prayed humbly.
"Who gave the instructions?" The man asked this question naturally.
Du Shu said in a low voice: "I don't know, I was just a killer back then. If someone buys his life, I will naturally take the money to do things."
The man stopped talking, and Du Shu added: "However, that man hired a total of seventeen assassins, including me, and paid me a thousand taels, so he must not be an ordinary family.
"
The man seemed to agree, so he asked again: "So, have you got this money?"
"The man paid five hundred taels in advance," Du Shu said, "I couldn't get the balance because the court vigorously investigated the case at that time, and I had already fled to the north to avoid being pursued by the Jin Yiwei."
"Ah."
The man laughed, and then said: "Very good, we have seen your sincerity, but having said that, now that you have revealed all the information, it seems that you have no value to us."
These words made Du Shu's expression suddenly change, and he exclaimed: "Do you really want to break your promise?!"
The man smiled and said, "It's your own fault. We never made any promises to you."
After the words fell, sparse ridicules came from outside the cell, like slaps hitting Du Shu's face one after another, shattering his hopes.
Du Shu roared wildly, and then cried out incessantly. He struggled to get up, and the chains tied to his hands and feet were jingled by him!
"Sir! I beg you to be more generous! I am willing to be a bull and a horse! I just ask you to spare one life! Your Excellency——!!"
Du Shu frantically begged for mercy, but unfortunately the person in front of him had lost interest in him. When the lights flickered, the person had already left his position.
"How to deal with this person?" Zeng Hong glanced at Du Shu's ugly appearance and seemed to be disdainful. He looked at Yan Feng aside and asked casually.
Yan Feng said in a deep voice: "Although I am quite interested in what he said, since you feel that he is useless, let's kill him."
Zeng Hong nodded without any objection.
At this time, Cui Yixiao, who was waiting on the side, suddenly said: "Two adults, I wonder if I can leave the matter of handling this person to the lower officials?"
"Oh?" Yan Feng asked curiously: "Deputy Cui Qianhu, do you think this person has other uses?"
"That's not true. Your Majesty's wishes are naturally not violated by lower officials," Cui Yixiao explained: "It's just that you two adults also know that I once served in the Beisi Prison. The brothers in the prison told me a while ago that I hope
Get a few good ones and go in, they have some new things they want to try."
"Oh, if that's the case, then Deputy Cui Qianhu can take care of himself, and I'm sure your Excellency will have no objection to this."
Yan Feng waved his hand, Zeng Hong did not object, and the matter was settled. After Cui Yixiao thanked him, he came to the cell and ordered someone to pierce Du Shu's pipa bone, and took a few chains and added a lot of
The instruments of torture were tied tightly before being taken away.
Until the last moment, Du Shu did not give up begging for mercy. He even kept trying until his throat became hoarse. He kept telling the secrets he knew about the world, hoping to win back the hearts of several adults.
Unfortunately, all he could see was the expression of sympathy on Cui Yixiao's face that looked like a smile but not a smile, which made Du Shu even more frightened.
After the howling Du Shu was taken away by Cui Yixiao, Yan Feng and Zeng Hong looked at each other and left the cell.
Although they are both Jin Yiwei, they, two thousand households, also keep a respectful distance from the madmen in the prison.
