The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 76
At this moment, Yun Chen had calmed down. After listening to Cui Hengyue's words, he asked calmly, "In that case, tell me, where did you go after you knocked out the guard?"

Cui Hengyue's expression froze.

Say or don't say?

If she did, would Lin Jiang survive their interrogation and not tell about the key?
If she doesn't say anything, these people will think that she is the murderer. At that time, she will be unable to say anything and will only be executed as a murderer.

It was a matter of life and death, Cui Hengyue quickly made a decision: "I went to find Lin Jiang."

Yunchen silently looked at Qionghua.

Qionghua nodded quickly: "Yes, I can testify on this matter, because Yueyue and I went together."

After saying that, Qionghua thought that they said she belonged to Yueyue just now, and her words were not credible, so she added: "We didn't lie, you can go and investigate."

Yun Chen looked at Yun Lin and raised an eyebrow at him.

Yun Lin understood, and left the meeting hall with two guards.

Soon, Yunlin arrived outside Lin Jiang's room.

"Oh!"

The guard kicked open the door and rushed in.

"Who?"

Hearing the movement, Lin Jiang quickly took out a dagger from under the pillow, jumped out of bed, and placed the dagger in front of him.

The next moment, the room gradually lit up, and Lin Jiang finally saw the situation in front of him clearly: two guards pointed their knives at him, and there was a white robe beside him.
Lin Jiang was taken aback, thinking it was a ghost, he took a closer look, only to find that it was Yun Lin, he was relieved immediately.

"So it's Captain Yun."

Lin Jiang put away his dagger, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what you want Captain Yun to do here?"

With a straight face, Yun Lin asked, "From last night until now, has anyone else come to look for you besides us?"

Hearing this, Lin Jiang's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Yueyue and Qionghua were discovered when they went back?
"No, no one came to see me except the three of you."

Even if they were discovered by Xiaowei Yun's people, as long as he didn't admit it and they didn't have evidence, they couldn't do anything to them.

What's more, he promised Yueyue that he would not tell about her coming to him, let alone about the key.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiang made up his mind that no matter how Yun Lin interrogated him, he would not confess Cui Hengyue.

Yun Lin: "You can think clearly, if you lie to me, your future life will never be so comfortable."

"I'm not lying. Except for the three of you, no one has come to see me." Lin Jiang said frankly.

However, Yunlin did not believe him, and coldly ordered the guards: "Tie him up and torture him."

Lin Jiang's expression suddenly changed: "Captain Yun, what do you mean?"

Yunlin ignored him.

Two guards stepped forward immediately, one put a knife on Lin Jiang's neck, and the other tied Lin Jiang up with a rope.

"Snapped!"

The whip fell hard and fast on Lin Jiang's body. Lin Jiang endured the pain, but still let out a muffled groan.

He glared at Yunlin: "Self-execution, do you still have the king's law in your eyes?"

The corners of Yun Lin's lips curled slightly: "In Yunxuan Temple, the King of Chu is Wang Fa."

"Snapped!"

Another whip.

"what--"

Lin Jiang let out a scream, and looked back, only to find that the whips in the guards' hands were not ordinary whips, their whips had spikes on them.

With a whip, his skin was torn apart.

Yunlin looked at all this indifferently: "Tell me, from last night until now, besides the three of us, has anyone else come to look for you?"

"...No." Lin Jiang gritted his teeth.

"Keep fighting. Whenever he is willing to tell the truth, stop."

Hearing Yunlin's order, the two guards beat harder. They stood on both sides of the Linjiang River, each with a whip, and fell one after another.

"what--"

After being whipped more than a dozen times, Lin Jiang couldn't bear it anymore, and screamed louder and louder.

Cui Hengyue faintly heard screams, but she was not sure. She sat quietly on the chair with a blank expression on her face, not knowing what she was thinking.

Half an hour later, Yun Lin returned to the meeting room, and solemnly reported to Yun Chen: "Captain, we have interrogated Lin Jiang, and he said that no one has looked for him since last night."

Cui Hengyue: "."

Yun Chen glanced at Cui Hengyue and asked, "Did you use torture?"

Yunlin: "It's torture."

Upon hearing this, the image of Lin Jiang lying on the ground covered in blood appeared in Qionghua's mind, and she immediately became excited: "Why torture? Just ask if you have any questions, why torture?"

"Without punishment, how could he tell the truth?" Yun Lin said lightly.

Qionghua: "."

However, after torture, Lin Jiang did not tell the truth.

"No matter what, you can't use torture. His hand is broken and his health is not good. How can he bear it?"

Yun Lin: "There is a rule in the South Palace, whoever kills must die, this rule is not only for you, but also for us.

"So you can rest assured that Lin Jiang will not die."

Don't die but suffer.

When Qionghua thought of these people punishing Lin Jiang, she felt heartbroken.

these bastards
Cui Hengyue was speechless. She never expected that Lin Jiang would keep his mouth shut under severe punishment, and he would not confess a single thing.

However, his mouth is too strict.

As long as he admits that she went to her, he can prove her innocence.

However, this Lin Jiang, he even guarded against this matter, without revealing anything
Yunchen looked at Cui Hengyue with a complicated expression: "What else do you have to say?"

Qionghua rushed ahead of Cui Hengyue and said, "Captain Yundu, let me see Lin Jiang, I will make him tell the truth."

"Heh!" Chen Guang sneered: "You and Lin Jiang are both servants of the Wang family, and Cui Hengyue is your little master, so you are naturally facing her.

"You go? Hehe, do you want Lin Jiang to change his mind and help Cui Hengyue make a false confession?"

Qionghua was in a hurry: "I didn't intend to do this, I just wanted him to tell the truth, we did go to him."

Chen Guang didn't answer, but the expression on his face was obviously disbelief.

Cui Hengyue suddenly said: "I want to confront Lin Jiang."

"No." Chen Guang flatly refused, and turned to explain to Yun Chen: "Captain, Cui Hengyue and Lin Jiang cannot be confronted. Once they meet, they will definitely collude."

Yun Chen nodded slightly, feeling that Chen Guang's concerns were not unreasonable.

Cui Hengyue just felt speechless, these people thought too much about her and Lin Jiang.

The little lunatic and Lin Jiang didn't meet very often, only a dozen times a year, and each time they met, it only took a cup of tea. How could they have a tacit understanding, one look, one word, and they could tell what the other was thinking?
Cui Hengyue endured it and made a suggestion: "Then tell Lin Jiang that I have already recruited, and see what he says."

Yun Lin looked at Cui Hengyue with a strange look: "I have used this trick before, but Lin Jiang still hasn't changed his mind."

Cui Hengyue: "."

For such a loyal servant, she really didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
"Cui Hengyue, what else do you have to say?"

It was this sentence again, Cui Hengyue was very impatient: "You don't believe me when I tell you, so what else is there to say?"

Yun Chen's face darkened, and he ordered loudly: "Cui Hengyue sneaked into Wenshu Pavilion and killed people. The crime is heinous. Lock him up first and wait for punishment."
