I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 229 Not Simple

The assassin glanced at the whole room and sat down slumped.

Lowering his head, he grabbed his hair and said, "It's Mr. Chang."

Expected.

Qi Yuzhang is the master behind Chang Renxin, and Chang Renxin came forward and asked Fan Ming to carry out all the actual operations. After being arrested, Qi Yuzhang was not at all embarrassed, and at most he would have a reputation of being a flower hunter, and Chang Zhonghu was in the Chang family. Escort.There is only Fan Ming, although Xuan Ping Hou has a title, but according to Dong Hai's tone, his father Fan Yanping is mediocre. Xuan Ping's family was not very popular, so he had only three sons, Fan Yanping, who was the eldest son, took the title of title.

Xuan Pinghou is also a proper faction of the princelings. Losing this chess piece is not a big loss for Chang Chonghu.

But for Lu Xizhi and the others, Fan Ming was more important than any witnesses, and the other party knew his danger, so it was not difficult to imagine how fierce the assassination last night would be.

Standing in the corridor, Lu Xizhi exhaled forcefully, she still couldn't smell the rotten smell.

It was mid-July, and the world was starting to heat up. Even places in the north like the capital had become like a steamer. Some people on the playground cursed the terrible weather. Winter was terribly cold, and spring was like winter. It's hot right away, and people who are hot have nowhere to hide, and it's very uncomfortable.

It suddenly occurred to Lu Xizhi that the relatives of the emperor, the high-ranking officials and the rich and powerful, with their summer gardens and ice storage in the ice cellar, had many ways to relieve the heat and fatigue, while the poor had no other way but to get naked.

However, having said that, there are not no cool places. There are two places recognized by the common people, one is the imperial prison in Dali Temple, and the other is the prison in Dongchang.

She turned her head to look at the big prison. These two places are places where serious offenders are detained. Over the years, I don’t know how many people have died inside. In broad daylight, it is very gloomy at noon. When you get close, you can feel the cold wind blowing. , such a place, if you go in, you can imagine.

Of course, the common people were just chatting, fiercely, how could they come out after entering.

If he hadn't been able to enter, maybe he would have believed it.

But there is a large prison in the East Factory, which is tall and spacious. This kind of building would be cool even if it is not a prison. What outsiders would not expect is that it is actually not as bloody and terrifying as imagined, because...

Those who can enter here are high-ranking prisoners, and the relatives and friends of these prisoners are not bad. If they are beaten here, there is no guarantee that they will not be retaliated outside, and Dongchang will have a lot of trouble thing.In addition, the political arena is full of clouds and changes rapidly. Today, you are a prisoner, and tomorrow you will be an official. If you use torture or make things difficult, what will you do if you turn around in the future?
She asked Yuan Yanxi, since Dongchang itself suppressed officials with dissenting intentions, why did it stay here?
Yuan Yanxi was very straightforward: "Sometimes, the governor also has to judge the situation."

Lu Xizhi didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at the time, but the senior officials involved this time made her seem to understand.

However, it is not that clean room that is going now.

In the dark cell, even in broad daylight, there is no light. A few flickering candle lamps are printed with bloodstains on the wall, which is shocking. The air is filled with a strong smell of blood and a little gunpowder, and there are burning candles. The crackling sound is mixed in it.

The few people hanging on the wall didn't say a word even though they were covered in bruises.

Lu Xizhi resisted the nausea rising in his throat, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, avoided that direction, and looked to the other side.

She saw a familiar face, Zephyr.

Xi Feng was sitting opposite him coldly, leaning on the chair and slowly playing with the whip in his hand, while Dong Hai stood aside, both of them were expressionless as usual.

"Tell me, besides the four disciples of Purgatory Gate, how many people have you sent? What's the plan?" Xifeng's icy voice seemed to come from hell, Lu Xizhi raised his eyes and looked at the people who had been repeatedly beaten and splashed with water. 'People' words.

Those 'corpses' still didn't answer, Lu Xizhi wondered if they were all dead.

"Miss Lu, I've been asking this question for two hours... Do you want to think of another way?" Bei Xue approached her and whispered.

From last night until now, several assassins who were captured alive have been imprisoned here, guarded by guards on the inner and outer floors, but they have not been instructed, and they have not dared to use severe punishment for a long time, they are just beaten.

Lu Xizhi's face turned cold, and he said slowly: "Everyone, I respect you for being a man, but the emperor has ordered that in a few days, he will send people to level down the entire Valley of Purgatory. live."

Her stern face resembled Shura's, and her frightening expression cast shadows in the dancing lights.

The few people hanging on the wall remained motionless, only the slightly heaving chests proved that they were still alive.

"Then continue." Lu Xizhi said softly with his back to those people.

The sound of whips sounded one after another, casting whip shadows and humming on the wall.

Other than that, it was eerily quiet.

"It's Lu Ji's business, this can't work." An officer reported panting heavily.

"Procrastinate." Lu Xizhi replied without moving his eyebrows. When it was time to be ruthless, there should be no room for it. What he was facing now was not an ordinary person, but a well-trained killer.

Then she asked Bei Xue in a low voice, "Is someone inside?"

"Yes, it's right there." Bei Xue pointed to the rear right.

Lu Xizhi looked along and met Fan Ming's gaze.

Oh, come to think of it, he should have participated in the 'enjoyment' of this great gift.

"Fan Shizi, we finally meet." Lu Xizhi slowly came to Fan Ming's cell, and said calmly.

Royal Palace
In the imperial study room, the emperor had a gloomy expression on his face, while Jiang Heng had been sitting silently by the side since Beixuan entered the palace, listening to the emperor's anger.

Just now in front of the officials, he behaved very calmly, but his heart was already full of anger. There was someone so lawless and blatantly assassinating the imperial criminals. If he didn't kill a group of them violently, it would be difficult to appease his hatred.

Jiang Heng's heart was also very heavy. The emperor became angry and felt that anyone might be the one who ordered the assassination, especially the prince and the Chang family, who were included in the focus of attention by Qi Tianyin, so Jiang Heng mobilized the people from the Fenghuo Pavilion. Jiang Heng's heart is heavy because of the investigation by the elite forces. This already shows that the emperor has developed a sense of distrust towards all the ministers in the court.

The Aria Building has been closed for a while, and these high-ranking officials and ministers are all human spirits, and they must have sensed a crisis from inside, so any one of them may arrange the assassination.

The emperor's suspicion of his courtiers made Jiang Heng, who is proficient in conspiracy theory, very worried. Jiang Heng was deeply disturbed by how much this case would have an adverse impact on the court, but he could not comfort the emperor at this time, otherwise the emperor's trust in him would be greatly reduced .
