Jade Without Fragrance Chapter 252

   Chapter 252 Confession

   King Liang laughed particularly cheerfully, as if he wanted to vent all his grievances during this time.

   Looking at the mad King Liang, the servants of the palace couldn't help but wonder, can such a person really become the prince again? On second thought, as soon as the prince died, the emperor would only have one son, Prince Liang. Who else could Prince Liang not be the prince?

  The servants of the palace also came to the spirit, and sincerely persuaded: "My lord, the more you are like this, the more stable you should be. The emperor will be relieved to know that you are sad for the prince..."

   King Liang blinked and listened: "You are right."

  Hope is close at hand, and he can bear with this.

   "Fourth brother—" King Liang covered his face and cried.

  The next step is to manage the funeral for the prince step by step. After three days of searching, the suspect who killed the prince was finally found.

   Emperor Tai'an had already instructed to bring him directly to him once he was found.

   "Kneel down!" Cheng Maoming kicked the man's knee.

The    man threw himself down on his knees, the heavy sound of touching the ground made his scalp tense.

   Emperor Tai'an stared at the man condescendingly, with a cold expression on his face.

   "You pretended to be Yang Zhe to kill the prince?" When asked this sentence, Emperor Tai'an tried his best to keep his voice steady.

   "Killing the Prince?" The man looked shocked and shouted his injustice, "The little people are wronged, even if the little people have the courage, they would not dare to hurt the prince—"

  Cheng Maoming gave him a kick unceremoniously: "You even pretended to me! You slipped out of Wuweizhai before the prince's accident, do you think no one saw it?"

   The man's voice trembled and looked extremely frightened: "Wuweizhai is a famous restaurant in the capital, and the small people go to taste the delicious food in the restaurant. How can you say that the small people harmed the prince?"

Cheng Maoming stared at him, and suddenly sneered: "You may not know that most of the people who go to Wuweizhai are regular customers. If you are a new face, the restaurant staff will be more impressed. We asked earlier, you were not among the guests who ate wine that day. !"

   Hearing this, the man's eyes rolled slightly and his eyelids trembled.

   Emperor Tai'an couldn't take it any longer, and suddenly stood up: "Let him speak the truth, I will wait."

   Cheng Maoming understood and took the man to the interrogation room, and he was sentenced without a word of nonsense.

   Thanks to the wealth of torture methods accumulated by generations of predecessors, even those who have been trained can really survive all kinds of torture.

The screams of    echoed in the airtight interrogation room, the whip slapped on the body, and the chilli water seeped into the savage wound, causing pain that directly hit the soul. Not long after the third round of torture began, the man finally couldn't stand it any longer.

"I say--"

   Cheng Maoming raised his hand, and the torturer stopped.

With a    cry, Shen Shangshu couldn't help but let out a sigh of turbidity.

   Meeting Cheng Maoming's doubtful eyes, Shen Shangshu smiled awkwardly.

  He is a bunch of old bones, but he can't stand such a **** scene.

   "Yes... Yang Zhe instructed me to do it..." The man struggled to pronounce words, his forehead sweating from the pain.

   When these words came out, both Cheng Maoming and Shen Shangshu were taken aback.

   "Yang Xiuzhuan?" Shen Shangshu stared at the man and asked again, lest he heard it wrong.

  The man twitched the corners of his mouth: "Yes..."

  Cheng Mao was calm, and his face returned to calm: "You said that Yang Zhe ordered, then tell me who you are and why you did it."

The    man tangled his face for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "We are all from Qi."

   "What!" Shen Shangshu was so shocked that he almost didn't come up, and pointed at the man, "Are you from Qi?"

The    man nodded.

   "Yang Xiuzhuan is also from Qi?"

   I don't know what to think, but the man smiled: "Otherwise, why would we kill Prince Da Zhou?"

  Shen Shangshu stared, and his beard shook as he gritted his teeth.

   Yang Zhuangyuan turned out to be from Qi, this, this is too bizarre!

  But if he wasn't from Qi, the prince valued Yang Zhe, and he would have no reason to kill the prince.

  Shen Shangshu believed the man's words almost instantly, but Cheng Maoming's heart moved after the initial shock.

   Wrong!

   Others don't know, but he is clear that this person's technique and level of disguising are the same as those of the jade maid, obviously from the same person. And these people are clearly the remnants of Emperor Pingle, not Qi people.

   After suffering such a severe punishment, why did this man lie and say that he and Yang Zhe were from Qi?

  Cheng Maoming had doubts in his heart, and he couldn't help but frighten the snake.

"Um."

Cheng Maoming looked at the man up and down: "It's fine for you, Yang Zhe is the champion, from the beginning of the child test, personal confessions, mutual knots, and confirmation of identities are indispensable. It is difficult that Qi started to lay out from his ancestors. already?"

It is not difficult to pretend to be an ordinary person. Once you take the scientific examination, you must know the situation of your parents and grandparents, and you must have the proof of the local people. People with unknown origins can't even pass the child test, so we won't talk about it in the future. .

The man's face was pale, and he did not shy away from Cheng Maoming's doubts: "Then I don't know, I am just an obedient person, the only task is to cooperate with Yang Zhe to kill the Prince of Da Zhou, and more information will not be told to me. ."

   "Then where did your mask come from?"

   "Yang Zhe gave it to me." The man said without hesitation.

   "It's not just the two of you who can set up such a big game, right?"

The man lowered his eyes, looking helpless and dejected: "I said, I'm just a **** who obeys orders, and the only people I know are Yang Zhe and the superior who told me to contact Yang Zhe. As for how many I still have in the capital. Man, I don't know what to do next."

   "Where is your superior?"

The    man shook his head, and his movements tugged at the wound, making his face even paler: "It was he who contacted me through a secret code."

   "You pushed it quite cleanly." Cheng Maoming clicked his tongue.

  The man was unable to lift his eyelids: "I, I have said everything I know. If the adults don't believe it, then I can't help..."

   "You better not hide it, otherwise you will be greeted more than that." After Cheng Maoming warned, he walked out of the interrogation room with Shen Shangshu.

  The emperor has been waiting, the two did not dare to delay, and went directly to face the saint.

   "What's the matter?" Upon seeing the two, Emperor Tai'an immediately asked.

   Cheng Maoming and Shen Shangshu looked at each other.

   "Shen Aiqing, tell me."

  Shen Shangshu took a deep breath and lowered his eyes as he explained the situation to the man.

   Emperor Tai'an listened to Shen Shangshu quietly, his eyes as deep as a lake turned to Cheng Maoming: "Send someone to Yang Zhe's hometown to thoroughly investigate his origin."

"Yes."

   After a while of silence, Emperor Tai'an suddenly asked, "What do you two think about this person's confession?"

   Shen Shangshu was taken aback.

   Listen to what the emperor said, do you still have any doubts about this person's explanation?

   Under the gaze of the emperor, he deliberately opened his mouth: "I think this person's confession under severe punishment should be credible."
