On the wedding night, the space doctor made the crippled king stand up

Chapter 386 Interrogating the Assassin
  Xiao Qingqing glanced at these men in black and chuckled: "That's what politics is like, no matter how powerful you are, they are just afraid of you."

Just heard the two sigh.

"By the way, have all the people in black outside been cleaned up?" Xiao Qingqing asked, while signaling them not to think too much.

The two shook their heads.

Murong Jing said: "Some people escaped, but the secret guards in the mansion went to hunt them down."

Xiao Qingqing nodded, this would still leave some survivors, and perhaps information could be obtained from them.

Xiao Qingqing's eyes fell on the old concubine and she saluted: "Old concubine, it's getting late. Things have been taken care of now. Please go back and rest early."

The old concubine also saw Xiao Qingqing's performance today and was very pleased. If Xiao Qingqing had not been a woman, she might have been a good leader in fighting.

"Don't worry, I'll leave the matter here to you. You should rest early." The old concubine stood up and went back with the help of Granny Lin.

After seeing off the old concubine, Xiao Qingqing looked at Yue Pei and the other two: "You should also rest early."

Seeing that nothing happened now, and there were blood stains on their bodies that needed to be cleaned up, they agreed.

That night, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and even the cool evening breeze could not dissipate it.

By the early morning of the next day, the bodies in the mansion had been basically disposed of, but there were too many blood stains to clean up.

As soon as Xiao Qingqing got up, the voice of the secret guard came from the door: "Princess, all the assassins who escaped yesterday have been captured and are now in the prison cell of the palace."

Xiao Qingqing opened the door, and just as Murong Jing and Yue Pei came, they heard that the assassin had been caught and begged to come with them.

Xiao Qingqing agreed.

A group of people came to the cell.

Feng Molin made many enemies and killed countless assassins, so he had a cell in front of him for easy interrogation.

The cell was dark, only illuminated by some oil lamps, and the foul and moldy smell kept coming out. Xiao Qingqing and others covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs.

Xiao Qingqing was also a little surprised when she saw more than 20 men in black in the cell.

I thought it would be nice to have a few survivors, but I didn't expect these secret guards to be so powerful and captured them all.

"Tell me, who sent you here?" Yue Pei asked.

These men in black didn't even look at Yue Pei, and no one said a word.

There was silence in the prison. Yue Pei looked at these people coldly, then turned to Xiao Qingqing and said, "Princess, Murong, please go out first. I will definitely use means to make them talk."

His methods were cruel and since the two were women, he was afraid that it would leave a psychological shadow on them, so he asked them to leave first.

Seeing Yue Pei's thoughts, Murong Jing refused: "No, I want to watch here, but I want to see who is so bold as to send someone to assassinate him!"

"The scene will be bloody for a while..."

Yue Pei also wanted to persuade, but was still rejected.

"It's not like I've never done anything like murder before. Whatever, just do your thing!" Murong Jing said.

Yue Pei looked at Xiao Qingqing. The two of them had almost the same attitude and finally gave up.

Yue Pei ordered his men to tie up the men in black. At the same time, he took out pliers and said coldly: "Pull out their nails one by one and see if they can attack!"

The men followed Yue Pei's orders and stepped forward to torture the men in black. I saw that the nails of the men in black had been forcibly pulled out, and the ground on their hands was covered with blood, and the nails looked even more scary.

It is said that ten fingers connect to the heart. When Murong Jing saw this, she couldn't help but hide her hands, as if she was pulling out her own nails.

In the cell, the screams resounded continuously, making people hear it.

But these men in black are also tough-minded and would rather endure the painful pain of pulling out their nails than say a word.

Yue Pei sneered, but he didn't think that such a simple criminal law could make them speak.

Randomly, he ordered someone to prepare an oil pan: "Put their arms into the oil pan and fry them fiercely. I heard that the human oil refined by humans can be used to make everlasting lamps. The light in this dungeon is a bit dim, so why not I will use you to refine human oil.”

At Yue Pei's order, the man in black's arm was put into the hot oil pan.

Suddenly there was a burst of crackling sounds and screams in the dungeon, and the air was mixed with the smell of greasy meat.

When she smelled this smell, Murong Jing couldn't help turning her head and retching. She had thought about Yue Pei's cruelty, but she didn't expect it to be so cruel. This behavior was like a demon in hell.

"As long as you inform the people behind the scenes, you won't have to suffer any more punishment." Yue Pei looked at these people without blinking.

Yet these people remained silent.

"Prince Yue, you can't do this. Although the torture was cruel, they still didn't say anything." Murong Jing turned to look at Yue Pei and couldn't help complaining.

Yue Pei's face changed slightly, and he was a little worried about his face.

Just when he was about to speak, Xiao Qingqing on the side spoke up: "You can't blame Prince Yue for this matter. Since they are here to assassinate him, they naturally have a hard mouth. They are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of these punishments."

"Then what should we do now? We can't really kill them. If they refuse to tell us, how can we investigate?" Yue Pei asked, even preparing to order people to continue the execution.

However, Xiao Qingqing waved his hand to stop him.

"Lock them all up." Xiao Qingqing ordered lightly.

Murong Jing was anxious: "Princess, if they are locked up like this and can't talk about it, they should be executed more often to see if it's their bones or their mouths that are tough!"

"It's useless, don't worry, I'll let them talk." Xiao Qingqing comforted the two of them.

Xiao Qingqing was heard saying to the guards in the cell: "You are here to watch them. There is no need to execute them. We will give them food. The only condition is that they are not allowed to sleep."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was puzzled.

"What kind of punishment is this? Will such a gentle punishment really make them talk?" Murong Jing asked.

In their opinion, this is not a punishment, it is just good food and drink to support their life here.

Xiao Qingqing smiled: "Don't worry, we just need to wait for the results."

Although the two of them had doubts, Xiao Qingqing said so, so they didn't hesitate to ask. The smell in the cell was really unpleasant, so they followed Xiao Qingqing out of the dungeon.

After leaving the dungeon, Xiao Qingqing returned to the house and decided to write a letter to inform the emperor about what happened in the palace.

As soon as she finished writing the letter and handed it to the guards to be taken into the palace, Manager Chen hurried over, followed by Gao Haoran.

Gao Haoran came in from the outside and saw that the servants in the palace were still cleaning the blood. The scene was shocking. In addition, the smell of blood lingered in the air for a long time. Although he did not see the corpse, he knew that the palace had experienced a tragic battle.

"Is the princess injured?" Gao Haoran stepped forward and asked worriedly. At the same time, he also noticed the letter in Xiao Qingqing's hand.
