Dressed as a vicious stepmother, farming and raising cubs

Chapter 67 "Torture to Extort a Confession"

Now that Shen Luochen had made a concession, Su Liu was no longer coy and generously lifted up the quilt and lay in.

And Shen Luochen was leaning against the window quietly like that. The clear moonlight shone in, making his figure even more upright. His long black straight hair shone with silver light, and his angular profile made him look even more heroic. , a pair of dark and deep pupils were focused outside the window, seeming to be looking at a far away place.

She stared at him for a while, feeling a little dazed for a moment, but more of a feeling of inexplicable peace of mind.

For some reason, this sight made her heart beat faster, and she couldn't help cursing in her heart:

Damn it, why didn’t I realize before that this person is quite handsome!

As she watched, she felt sleepy, and she began to feel that her upper and lower eyelids were colliding with each other.

Before falling asleep, that profile face was deeply imprinted in her mind.

She had a dreamless night, and when she woke up again the next morning, Shen Luochen was no longer in the room.

It seemed that he kept his promise and went back to his room to rest after she and the children fell asleep.

Su Liu felt a little relieved in her heart, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. When she lowered her head, she found that she was still wearing the red wedding dress.

Shen Luochen was also here yesterday. She was too embarrassed to change, so she just slept like this all night. Her clothes covered with pearls and emeralds were really a bit uncomfortable.

She took out her regular clothes from the cabinet and put them on, then carefully folded her wedding clothes and stored them away.

No matter what, this is the children's feelings for her, and she should cherish it.

Perhaps because she slept soundly last night, she was in a particularly happy mood. When she opened the door, she was still humming a tune.

Shen Luochen's face burst into view unexpectedly. He was standing at the door of her room, apparently waiting for her.

He also changed into his regular clothes, and his black hair was tied into a bun on top of his head, returning to his normal appearance.

Su Liu shut his mouth suddenly, smiled awkwardly, and said:

"You... woke up so early."

She couldn't understand that Shen Luochen went to bed so late last night and got up earlier than she did today, and there was no trace of fatigue on his face.

If it had been her, she would have had big panda eyes.

Shen Luochen nodded and said straight to the point:

"I'm going to the outskirts of the city to interrogate the enemy soldiers I captured earlier. Come with me."

Hearing this, Su Liu pointed at himself with great confusion:
"Me? But what use will I be able to do if I go?"

She didn't know how to use soldiers, and she didn't know who the enemy was. Apart from causing trouble, she really couldn't think of what she could do.

Shen Luochen showed her a gentle smile, but his tone was very firm:

"I hope I can let you know me better. You also said that it is better to know the danger in advance than to be a headless fly."

Su Liu thought about it carefully and felt that what he said made sense, so he nodded in agreement.

But she still found it incredible that this man who was always mysterious in front of her suddenly seemed to open the door to her and revealed all his own affairs in front of her.

Maybe it's because you like yourself?

Thinking of this, Su Liu suddenly felt that his cheeks were a little hot, and he shook his head vigorously, trying to get these messy thoughts out of his mind.

Shen Luochen naturally didn't know what she was doing, but after receiving a positive reply, a look of relief appeared on his face. He asked the secret guard to prepare a carriage, and the two of them rode to the outskirts of the city.

Here, he secretly ordered people to build a dungeon, but from the outside, everyone would think it was just a ruined temple.

The carriage stopped in front of the temple gate, and he helped Su Liu out of the carriage very considerately.

"Are people really locked up here?" Looking at the crumbling temple in front of him, Su Liu couldn't help but feel doubtful.

Shen Luochen smiled mysteriously and motioned for her to follow, and they entered the temple together.

In the center of the temple was a statue of a god, which was not big in size and covered with a thick layer of dust. There were two futons placed under the empty altar, which were already in tatters.

Shen Luochen walked behind the statue and fumbled with the wall a few times. He only heard a "click", as if some mechanism had been opened.

A secret passage leading underground suddenly appeared on the floor behind the statue.

Seeing this situation, Su Liu was so surprised that he could not speak. The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.

Shen Luochen ordered several secret guards to guard the outside of the secret passage, and then took Su Liu in.

The secret passage is very narrow and can only accommodate one person. The two of them go one behind the other. The further down they go, the darker and damper they feel.

After walking for a while, I finally saw that the view ahead widened, revealing a spacious underground space.

The light inside the dungeon was dim, and the smell in the air was pungent, with the smell of soil mixed with feces, and a vague smell of blood.

Shen Luochen seemed to have been used to it for a long time, and there was no expression on his face, but Su Liu couldn't bear it and couldn't help but stretched out his sleeves and covered his mouth and nose.

The walls on both sides were densely packed with torture instruments, exuding a faint metallic luster, which made people shudder.

Going further, you can see cells one after another, which contain the pursuers that day.

But now, they have become prisoners, with their bodies in tatters and with unhealed wounds. They have obviously been tortured.

Hearing the movement, the prisoners immediately raised their heads warily.

Shen Luochen took Su Liu outside the cell and looked down at the few people with a very cold tone:
"How about it? Are you still unwilling to say anything today?"

Before that, he had ordered the secret guards to interrogate him for several days, but there was still no news, so he decided to come and see the situation in person.

The prisoners also had cold expressions on their faces, and they all had sullen faces and refused to speak.

Seeing this situation, Shen Luochen then spoke:
"If any of you reveals the mastermind behind the scenes, I will let him live and give him land and money so that he can spend the rest of his life in peace. How about that?"

"Bah! Who cares!" One of them spat at him with disdain on his face.

Although the others did not express their opinions, they were obviously on the same side, and no one was willing to speak.

Shen Luochen's eyes darkened, and a fierce look flashed across his face:
"If you don't eat the toast and eat the fine wine, then don't blame me for being rude."

After speaking, he clapped his hands vigorously. The secret guards guarding outside immediately received the signal and rushed out from the secret passage. They took off the torture instruments on the wall and approached the cell.

The prisoners had a look of horror on their faces. They had obviously seen the power of torture instruments. However, they could not resist and could only curse:

"Bitch thief! If you use such despicable methods, you will be punished!"
