The person Qin Dingfang was interrogating at the moment was Ji Lingxiu.
When Linghu Zanghun released Ji Lingxiu, Ji Lingxiu knew that the matter was not over yet, and there was no guarantee that it would not harm him in the future.
Ji Lingxiu fled to Shu and lived in seclusion, but Beifu was so powerful that he tracked his whereabouts and captured Ji Lingxiu.
At this moment, in an underground secret room, Ji Lingxiu was kneeling on the ground, with two fierce-looking men standing behind him.
Qin Dingfang sat on the chair opposite him.
Qin Dingfang tilted his head and looked at Ji Lingxiu.
Qin Dingfang was also playing with a one-foot-long steel needle in his hand.
As Qin Dingfang played with it, the cold light from the needle continued to shine in Ji Lingxiu's eyes.
Ji Lingxiu was frightened.
Qin Dingfang said: "Mr. Ji, you were called the Fox of the West Sea back then. I have heard of your name for a long time. Moreover, Linghu Zanghun and Su Qinghou were both your brothers-in-law, which added to your glory.
It's a real honor to meet Mr. Ji today."
Ji Lingxiu said hurriedly: "The King of Qin really praised me. Compared to the King of Qin, my reputation is like a firefly's light. It is difficult for me to compete with the bright moon of the King of Qin. I am lucky to see the King of Qin today..."
Ji Lingxiu tried his best to flatter Qin Dingfang.
Qin Dingfang smiled, raised his fingers and said to Ji Lingxiu: "Mr. Ji, please come forward."
Ji Lingxiu knelt down and walked up to Qin Dingfang. The steel needle in Qin Dingfang's hand flashed and penetrated Ji Lingxiu's strong bone. The needle penetrated seven or eight points into the body. The internal force on the steel needle vibrated, and Ji Lingxiu let out a scream.
His face was also twitching with pain.
Qin Dingfang pulled out the steel needle again.
He also rubbed the blood from the steel needle on Ji Lingxiu's face several times.
Qin Dingfang smiled and said: "Mr. Ji, how does it taste?"
Ji Lingxiu's face turned pale, and he forced out a smile and said: "Don't... don't feel bad. It is also an honor for me to be acupunctured by King Qin."
After hearing this, Qin Dingfang raised his head and laughed "haha".
The laughter echoed in the secret room, making Ji Lingxiu's ears buzz.
Ji Lingxiu's heart was like beating a drum.
Qin Dingfang stopped laughing and said: "Mr. Ji is really a smart man. I like to deal with smart people. Now I ask Mr. Ji a question, and I hope Mr. Ji you can answer it truthfully."
Ji Lingxiu said: "I dare not hide it from King Qin."
Qin Dingfang said: "You are Su Jin'er's mother's brother, right?"
Ji Lingxiu said: "Yes."
Qin Dingfang stared into his eyes and said slowly: "Then you must know who is Su Jin'er's real father? Is it the King of Tibet? Or is it Su Qinghou? Tell me honestly now, whose daughter is she?!"
As soon as Qin Dingfang said these words, Ji Lingxiu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He still got into trouble because of this.
Ji Lingxiu said: "King Qin, Jin'er is the daughter of the King of Tibet."
Qin Dingfang said: "Really?"
Ji Lingxiu affirmed: "It's absolutely true."
Qin Dingfang still stared at Ji Lingxiu. His originally friendly expression slowly began to freeze on his face, and his expression became extremely cold. It was so cold that Ji Lingxiu shuddered.
Ji Lingxiu became more and more frightened and said: "King Qin, I didn't lie to you. Otherwise, you invite the King of Tibet..."
Now Ji Lingxiu would rather face Linghu Zanghun than Qin Dingfang.
He felt that Qin Dingfang was more terrifying than Linghu Zanghun.
Qin Dingfang said coldly: "If I invite the King of Tibet here, will you continue to lie to him?"
Ji Lingxiu's expression was about to cry, and he said: "King Qin, really, what can I say before you will believe it. Either I swear, I swear a poisonous oath..."
"Your poisonous oath is to deceive the King of Tibet!" Qin Dingfang interrupted him angrily, and Huo Di stood up from the chair. Qin Dingfang ordered his men: "Strip him naked, tie him to a pillar, and give me Lingchi! One knife at a time.
At least two thousand knives. If he dies with 1,999 knives, I will chop you!"
"yes!"
The two big men responded.
Then, like tigers and wolves, they lifted Ji Lingxiu off the ground, stripped him of all his clothes, and tied him to a pillar in the room.
Another person brought a plate covered with cloth.
He uncovered the piece of cloth, and on the plate were several sharp knives, large and small, that shot out cold light.
Ji Lingxiu was so shocked that she lost her mind.
Qin Dingfang wanted to chop him into pieces, but he really had no doubt about it.
Ji Lingxiu shouted: "King Qin, please show mercy... If you have anything to say, let's talk it over..."
Qin Dingfang shook his head coldly.
A big man held a knife in his hand and used the tip of the knife to cut a triangular incision on Ji Lingxiu's chest. Blood immediately gushes out and spreads on Ji Lingxiu's skin.
Then the big man inserted the tip of the knife under the skin of the incision, preparing to remove the piece of flesh.
The hair on Ji Lingxiu's body stood on end.
His body was also shaking violently.
He shouted to Qin Dingfang: "King Qin, you deserve to die! Please give me another chance, King Qin. I will answer truthfully and I will never dare to hide it from King Qin again..."
Qin Dingfang raised his hand, and the big man stepped aside first.
Qin Dingfang walked over, looked at Ji Lingxiu with a cold expression, and then stabbed the steel needle in his hand into Ji Lingxiu's body inch by inch. Ji Lingxiu endured the pain and did not dare to shout anymore.
Qin Dingfang said to Ji Lingxiu: "I'll give you one more chance, just once!"
Ji Lingxiu nodded desperately as if grasping a life-saving straw.
Qin Dingfang asked: "Whose daughter is she?"
Ji Lingxiu said: "It belongs to Su Qinghou."
Qin Dingfang said: "As far as I know, when you took your sister to leave Xihai, she was pregnant. Where is the child?"
Ji Lingxiu said: "She was indeed pregnant at that time. Later we fled to the Central Plains and the child had a miscarriage. For this reason, she almost lost her life."
Qin Dingfang said: "So, Su Jin'er is definitely the descendant of Su Qinghou and has nothing to do with the King of Tibet?"
Ji Lingxiu said: "No."
Qin Dingfang pulled out the steel needle stuck in Ji Lingxiu's body and threw it on the ground.
Qin Dingfang laughed again.
He patted Ji Lingxiu on the shoulder and said: "Truth is truth and falsehood is false. Just tell the truth, so why lie? If you tell the truth, how could I treat you like this? I, Qin Dingfang, will treat you like a distinguished guest. Because I
Respect honest people.”
Ji Lingxiu said: "King Qin, if I had not told the King of Tibet that Jin'er was her daughter, I, I would have been beaten to death by him in a rage. I have lied to the King of Tibet, and I can only make the mistake to lie to the King of Qin...
…”
"You don't have to lie to me. I just want you to tell the truth. I like to hear the truth." Qin Dingfang changed the topic again: "In a few days, King Zabe and I will take you to see Su Qinghou and confront you about this matter.
It’s time for the matter to be truly settled. Don’t let us all worry about it. When Su Qinghou is here, you don’t have to worry anymore. In short, don’t tell any lies, tell everything the truth. Then I will let you go.”
Ji Lingxiu said happily: "Will King Qin really let me go?"
Qin Dingfang said: "As long as you tell the truth, of course I, Qin Dingfang, will keep my word. When the time comes, I can let you leave on the spot with Su Qinghou."
Finally gaining some hope, Ji Lingxiu said: "King Qin, don't worry, I won't lie again this time. I will tell the truth, tell the truth! If you talk nonsense again, you will cut me to pieces with a thousand knives!"
Qin Dingfang laughed "haha".
Qin Dingfang ordered people to release Ji Lingxiu, bandage his wounds, and take good care of Ji Lingxiu.
Qin Dingfang came out of the secret room and entered the garden.
Qin Dingfang saw Ximenxuan waiting for him in the garden.
