The sky darkened, like a piece of black cloth slowly covering the sky.
The light faded and darkness came. It was already the third watch, and everyone except the watchman fell into a deep sleep.
But there were two dark figures jumping and running on the roof. They were Bai Liyu and Su Qing wearing night clothes.
But Su Qing didn't know that Bailiyu was the famous Prince Rui, so Bailiyu took her into the Three Princes' Mansion through the back door.
Ning Liu, who was waiting in the study, saw the two of them arriving, activated the mechanism on the bookshelf, and opened the secret passage to let them in.
Su Qing followed Bai Liyu around and around, and came to a dungeon. The air was filled with the smell of blood.
Various torture instruments were hung on the walls. In the middle of the cell was a man in tattered clothes and covered in blood tied to a cross.
The man heard the noise, raised his head and looked at them hard, his pupils shrank instantly, and he kept struggling.
The chains wrapped around him also collided with each other, making a clanging sound.
The widower opened his one eye hard, with strong hatred bursting out of it.
If his mouth hadn't been blocked by cloth and he could only moan, he would have cursed Su Qing by now.
"No wonder you haven't done anything in the past five years. So you are here. You tried every means to kill me, but you didn't expect that I would suddenly become the richest man in the Ming Dynasty. Are you angry?"
Su Qing was a little surprised to see him here. In the past five years, she had been wary of him all the time, and she didn't expect him to be here.
But she was a little lucky that he fell into Bai Liyu's hands. Otherwise, something might have happened. By then, she would be the leader of the two.
"Uh...uh..."
The widower struggled hard, his eyes were as big as bronze bells, and coupled with the swaying torches in the dungeon, he was like an evil ghost at this moment, making people feel frightened.
He should have poisoned this bitch himself in the first place. If it weren't for her, the secret he had kept for many years would not have been explored, and he wouldn't have to suffer the crime he has today.
"What is my mother's background?"
Su Qing took the cloth from his mouth and asked sharply.
She asked this question just to give an explanation to Mrs. Tian and the original owner.
Moreover, she is now the richest man in the Ming Dynasty and controls the economy of the Ming Dynasty.
Anyone who wants to touch her must do so carefully.
"I won't tell you until I die. If you have the ability, just kill me."
When Su Qing heard what the widower said, she couldn't help but sneered, "Are you worthy?"
Lifting his chin with the whip, her eyes gradually became cold, as if there was a flash of murderous intent.
Although she had never interrogated anyone in her previous life, she had heard some methods more or less, and they had also been performed in TV dramas. Wouldn't she still be able to copy them?
Su Qing looked at the beam above the cell. She used her skill to hang the old widower on it, keeping only his toes touching the ground.
To make his big toe the focus of the whole body, Su Qing also asked Bailiyu for a jar of honey to apply on his wounds. In addition, she specially applied honey on his ears.
As time goes by, the fragrance of honey will be released, which will attract ants to eat on it.
She wanted the widower to watch her being eaten bit by bit.
Su Qing's method looked very cruel, but in fact it didn't do much harm to his body. This method mainly tortured his spirit.
"Where did you learn this?"
Bailiyu was a little curious as to how she came up with this method, allowing people to watch her body being eaten while still staying awake.
He had to admit that her move was indeed quite cruel.
"you guess."
Su Qing slumped on the chair that Bai Liyu had asked people to move.
She was so sleepy now and wanted to sleep so much, but she couldn't let go of Aunt Tian's affairs. She was afraid that something might happen if she had a long night and had many dreams.
"Here's some food. If you're hungry, just lay it down first."
Baili Yu ordered someone to bring a chair and some fruits along the way. He was afraid that Su Qing would be tired and hungry. If she was hungry and tired, his life would be boring.
The secret guards hiding in the dark couldn't believe their direct ears when they heard what their prince said, for fear that they had heard wrongly.
When did their prince become so considerate? Isn't he usually as cold as ice?
Even for Miss Liu Ling'er, who has a good relationship with the prince, the prince has never cared so much about her. What is this girl's background?
The Liu Ling'er they mentioned was the concubine of King Pingnan, and she often visited the palace on weekdays.
Bailiyu also looked at King Pingnan's face and did not kick her out, but his actions were regarded by everyone as his tacit approval of Liu Ling'er, so everyone felt that the relationship between them was not bad.
Liu Ling'er also aroused the envy, jealousy and hatred of the noble ladies in the capital, which made her very proud.
"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. If you can, just watch your body being slowly eaten away by ants, first your skin and flesh, then your muscles and bones, and finally your internal organs."
Su Qing was eating fruits while talking. She didn't look at the widower's condition, fearing that she wouldn't be able to eat anymore.
"You will remain awake during the entire process, so you don't have to worry about passing out."
"And I also applied honey on your ears. The ants will slowly get into your brain and eat your brain bit by bit until you become an empty shell and you will be free.
"
Su Qing kept eating the whole time and didn't even look at the widower.
She didn't believe at all that this man was not afraid of death. Whether he said it or not was just a matter of time.
When Bailiyu saw that Su Qing had finished eating all the fruits, he ordered some more cakes to be served.
Su Qing was eating cakes, shaking her legs, and chatting with Bai Liyu.
"If I remember correctly, Baili is the surname of the country."
"Um."
"Then you are not a prince or a prince or something."
"good."
"Then you have great power, don't you? Can you please protect me for a moment because I saved you?"
Su Qing gestured as she talked. With his care, her future journey would be much easier. Although she was already the richest man, she was ranked last among farmers, merchants, and merchants, so her status was still very low.
"If I remember correctly, you seem to have asked me to give you my life."
"I'm just kidding. Besides, I can only marry one husband. You must have a noble status, and you are destined to have a lot of wives and concubines."
Su Qing explained to him that she originally said she was here for fun, but she didn't believe he didn't hear it.
"How do you know I won't just marry you?"
"You...don't come here, what are you doing?"
Su Qing looked at Bai Liyu who was very close to her, her heartbeat was beating fast and her face turned red.
If he had been closer just now, her first kiss would have been lost. This man is really...
But she doesn't seem to reject his approach at all. What should I do? She shouldn't be tempted, right? No, what is she thinking? This guy is not her type, and she is not attracted to him at all.
While Su Qing was stunned, the widower finally couldn't hold on to the criminal law and wanted to confess.
But just when he was about to tell the truth, a man in black broke in and killed the widower.
This man's kung fu was so high that even the secret guards in the prison and Baili Yu could not capture him, but only severely injured him.
Su Qing sighed in annoyance. She was about to be attacked, but someone was killed again. Where could she find the truth?
