imperial psychologist

Chapter 618
Li Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then he understood again - the one in front of him should most likely be the father-in-law of the Jiaofang Division.

After all, some time ago, it was still rumored that the flower-like big boss of the Lanzi shop ran away with a sum of money, so it is also possible that Jiaofang Division sent someone here to watch.

Li Sheng thought about it for a moment, but just as he was about to raise his head, he was dazed by a bucket of cold water pouring on his face.

He gasped for a while.

Seeing his expression, Yuan Zhen said softly, "Go and take off his clothes."

——Sure enough, under his clothes, the unexposed skin was full of wounds.

Some were whip wounds, some were abrasions, some were scabbing, and some were about to ooze pus at the touch... The wounds were soaked in cold water, and the pain was so painful that he was heartbroken.

Yuan Zhen lowered his head, looked at Li Sheng with his hands tied behind him, and said leisurely, "Who sent you here?"

The nearby tortoise paw stepped forward and took out the iron ball wrapped in silk that was stuffed in his mouth with one hand.

Li Sheng's chin had been pushed by this thing before, but just now it was taken off, and his chin couldn't be retracted for a while. Someone grabbed his chin roughly, and before he recovered his senses, there was a "cluck" Close his mouth for him.

After a sharp pain, Li Sheng felt as if he could speak again.

"I... I'm looking for Boling... I have a famous post..."

"Still stirring up the muddy water here..." Yuan Zhen whispered, "Let's ask you again, what is your relationship with An Yong?"

"An Yong...what An Yong..." Li Sheng raised his head blankly.

"The leader of the Qingpao bandit, An Yong," Yuan Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, "I just died in the prison of the Ministry of Justice last month. You are fighting for him, so you made a special trip to slander the Tianjia and pour dirty water on the face of the Holy One. Is it?"

Li Sheng could understand every word of these words, but Li Sheng couldn't understand them together.

However, even if he didn't understand, he could still hear the weight of Yuan Zhen's identification.

His face was pale, and he shook his head quickly, "No... nothing—"

"Then what on earth are you here for?" Yuan Zhen's voice suddenly rose, his face looked more and more gloomy in the already dark night, like the real Yama, but the next moment, his voice suddenly became softer, He whispered as if asking an ordinary question, "You'd better explain it to me honestly."

Li Sheng is fighting between two groups.

"I... I'm just... I'm here to find Miss Bailing. She gave me a name card, saying that if I encounter any trouble in the future, I can come and her—"

"That's not what you said just now!" Turtle Claw interrupted harshly, "When you heard that Miss Bailing is not in the room now, you yelled at her, saying that she traded child prostitutes, and now she was caught, so you shrank The tortoise dare not show his face!"

The muscles on Li Sheng's face trembled, "I...I didn't mean that..."

"That's not what you mean?" Turtle Claw kicked him hard, "You also said that you arranged an informant outside, and if we dare to do anything to you tonight, you will expose the matter of buying and selling child prostitutes at Lanzihao , You are not having a good time, we are all not having a good time——Did you say that?!"

Suddenly there was a fishy smell in the air.

The eyes of several people fell on Li Sheng's body - a trickle flowed out of the ground that had been wet by well water before.

Li Sheng's face turned red instantly.

Under Yuan Zhen's instruction, a tortoise's claw went around behind Li Sheng, stepped on his back, and intentionally stepped his whole head into the wet mud.

Li Sheng whimpered in pain again, not just because his face was pressed into the filth—it was the wound on his back, which was almost torn apart by the hard sole of the shoe at this moment.

Yuan Zhen laughed, and so did the turtle claws. The laughter and Li Sheng's wailing echoed in the yard.

"Okay," Yuan Zhen squatted down slowly, and said with a smile, "What do you mean? Tell me, this is the only chance, think about it before you talk."

Li Sheng cried, "I'm telling the truth! I'm telling the truth! I'm obsessed, I'm really obsessed...Miss Bai Ling gave me a sum of money some time ago, asking me to go out and live a good life, but I didn't listen, I gambled away at Changlefang, and now I still owe more than 1000 taels of foreign debt...they, they said that if I don't make it, they will kill me..."

"How much?" Yuan Zhen frowned suddenly.

"One, more than 1000 taels of silver."

"How much is 1000?"

"One thousand... more than one thousand and eight hundred taels." Li Sheng cried.

The throats of several turtle claws moved.

Yuan Zhen slightly raised his eyebrows, "Knowing that you are a bad gambler, they are still willing to let you credit so much?"

"I... I not only borrowed from Changlefang, but also Juxianzhuang, Jinbaolou, Xiaoyaoju... and..." Li Sheng recalled with difficulty, "Anyway, in the end, as long as there are 2000 taels of silver , this life can be saved..."

He raised his head slightly, his eyes were all red, "Elder-in-law, can you be accommodating and let me meet Miss Bailing? She is kind-hearted and treats my wife and daughter well. You are all sitting on the golden mountain If you sprinkle water casually, we small people can ascend to heaven—”

"It's better to shut him up, it stinks." Yuan Zhen said, "Your life is still worth 2000 taels of silver? If you chop up your whole body for food, you won't be able to sell it for the usual money."

Hearing Yuan Zhen's words, Li Sheng's expression changed again. He saw that the person in front of him was not going to spare his life, so he sank down, and when several tortoise claws were about to push him back into the room At this time, he suddenly jumped up, and his feet were untied at some point - the next moment, the rope tied to his hand also fell to the ground.

This fight between trapped beasts aroused Li Sheng's greatest desire to survive. He knocked away the unprepared tortoise's claws and ran towards the door——

Yuan Zhen stood quietly on the spot, looking coldly at the back of the figure who was about to disappear at the door.

Almost at the same moment, only a scream was heard, and Li Sheng fell heavily to the ground.

A dark guard in night clothes quietly landed next to Li Sheng, picked up his collar, and threw him in front of Yuan Zhen again like an eagle catching a chicken.

Before the turtle claws could react, the hidden guard who appeared suddenly disappeared quickly.

"Come here." Yuan Zhen said softly, "Pass my order to arrest this person and ask the people from the Jiaofang Division to come and interrogate him in person."

"Yes!"

Yuan Zhen glanced at Li Sheng again, and added, "Remind them to interrogate them carefully and slowly."

The turtle claws couldn't help shivering too.

"……clear."

"I'm going back," Yuan Zhen said softly, "If anyone of you sees Bo Ling tonight, let her come to the Golden Pavilion to find me. I have something to tell her."

"But... but Miss Bailing is now—"

"It will appear in a while." Yuan Zhen replied, "Just wait."
