The winding underground passages are damp, cold, and smell bad.
Mu Ying wrapped her cloak tightly tightly and stared at Gu Fenglin in front of her.
She always felt that Gu Fenglin was in a strange state during this meeting.
Absent-minded, always distracted, and seems to have something on his mind.
But she didn't dare ask.
Even though Gu Fenglin watched her grow up, she always regarded him as her elder brother.
Either he wasn't kind enough to her, or he always felt distant from her.
Just as Mu Ying was thinking about it, Gu Fenglin suddenly stopped and said, "Xiao Ying."
"Ah..." Mu Ying was startled.
Gu Fenglin asked her to step forward and asked, "What do you think of the current situation?"
"What's the situation?" Mu Ying didn't expect him to ask herself this: "Won't you treat me as a child's joke?"
Gu Fenglin smiled: "No, I want to hear your opinion."
"I feel so bad." Mu Ying said honestly.
"Fireworks show, this is such a big event, something like that happened.
It's really shameful to make a fuss about my sister, a little girl, instead of arresting the real culprit.
With so many high-ranking officials and princes involved, we can't do anything to the Qi State. It's really rotten to the core."
"That's right." Gu Fenglin said seriously: "So, do you want to do something useful?"
Mu Ying didn't know why: "What can I do? I'm not a man, I can't be a general or a general..."
"Although we cannot change the overall situation, we can change the details." Gu Fenglin stopped outside an interrogation room.
Qingfeng opened the door and invited them in.
There were torches burning in the room, illuminating it as brightly as day.
There was a man chained on the ground with iron chains, and his limbs were tied by iron ropes. His body was in tatters, with almost no good skin left. His head was hanging limply, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
Someone poured a bucket of cold water on her head, and after waiting for a while, she groaned and slowly woke up.
"It's you. Ordinary play can no longer satisfy you. Are you having fun with your brother-in-law while your sister is not at home?"
Xiaoya smiled viciously, revealing her red and rotten teeth.
Without thinking, Mu Ying picked up the stick and hit it hard: "A dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth!"
Xiaoya was beaten until she could not speak. She lay on the ground and glared at Mu Ying and Gu Fenglin with hatred.
Gu Fenglin said: "She knows many secrets but refuses to tell them.
For example, the youngest son of Zhou Shou's family in Meizhou and the son of the Song family who bought Zhuangzi from you have not been found.
If I hand her over to you, would you be able to find out?"
"Me?!" Mu Ying couldn't believe her ears.
Gu Fenglin actually asked her to be responsible for interrogating such an important criminal!
How could she do it?
Gu Fenglin looked at her quietly: "Do you dare to try? You will encounter many similar things in the future. You can't rely on your sister alone..."
This sentence touched Mu Ying: "But I'm afraid that I can't do it well."
"It doesn't matter. The worst case scenario is that he will be killed. It's none of your business." Gu Fenglin said lightly: "Qingfeng, you stay and help the second girl."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The interrogation room was quiet except for the sound of Xiaoya's heavy breathing.
Mu Ying's hands and feet were sweating and she was at a loss what to do.
Qingfeng pointed out to her: "There is another kind of punishment that I haven't tried yet. That one is more effective."
"What?"
Qingfeng handed a red-hot soldering iron to her hand: "This works very well." (To be continued)
