Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 359 Liu Hu
Yun Hao had dinner with Zhao Wangshu and chatted in the room. Lan Fen came in and said, "Sir, an official came from the prison and said he has something to report."

"Wang Shu, I'm afraid I have to interrogate the case tonight and won't be able to come back. You should rest early." Yun Hao stood up and said.

"You go and do your work, I will take care of myself and my son." Zhao Wangshu took his hand, "However, you should also pay attention to rest, don't be too tired, and investigate the case slowly."

"I know, don't worry about me." Yun Hao lifted her chin, leaned over and pecked her lips.

Yun Hao turned around and went out. The Yamen servant standing at the entrance of the courtyard stepped forward and saluted: "Your Excellency."

"Has someone confessed?" Yun Hao asked.

"Liu Hu said he would not recruit anyone until he met the master," the officer said.

Yun Hao snorted coldly, "If you want to see me, fine, I'll go see him."

In the cell, the dim lights reflected the mottled walls, and a cold and fishy smell hit his face.

Yun Hao walked through the long corridor and walked into a torture room. When the two people interrogating Liu Hu saw him arriving, they quickly stepped forward and saluted, "Sir."

"Liu Hu." Yun Hao called.

Liu Hu, who was sitting on the torture chair with his head hanging down, raised his head when he heard the sound and looked at Yun Hao, "Master Yun, if you can save my life, I will tell you the truth."

"The death of Prince Liangbi has reached destiny. I can't protect you." Yun Hao did not want to deceive him.

"Sir Yun is indeed upright and honorable. He is worthy of being the son of General Yun." Liu Hu opened his mouth and smiled, revealing his blood-stained teeth.

"Tell me the truth and you will suffer less." Yun Hao didn't care about his compliment.

"Master Yun, in the past dynasties, there have been battles for the throne. How can we determine the crown prince without the death of several princes? Prince Liangbi is not the first prince to die tragically in this fight." Liu Hu grinned and laughed. road.

"There's no need to talk nonsense. Who is your real master?" Yun Hao asked in a deep voice.

Liu Hu squinted his eyes and stared at Yun Hao for a long time before slowly speaking, his voice low and hoarse: "Master Yun, do you really want to know? I'm afraid you can't afford to offend the person behind this."

"Long Tingwei only obeys your Majesty's orders. There is no one whom Long Tingwei dare not arrest." Yun Hao said coldly.

Liu Hu sneered and said, "Okay, since Mr. Yun is so determined, I will tell you. My real master is Prince Baojun."

Prince Baojun may have the intention to get rid of Prince Liangbi, but he will never do it at this time. His brothers are natural allies.

Liu Hu concealed the truth and deliberately confused the public.

Yun Hao made a gesture, and the executioner picked up the red-hot iron and said with a ferocious smile: "Liu Hu, do you think these instruments of torture are just decorations? Or the whip is not strong enough."

As he spoke, he pressed the branding iron against his chest.

"Ah!" Liu Hu let out a shrill scream.

"Liu Hu, do you want to recruit him or not?" the interrogator asked.

"Master Yun, please give me a good time, I won't do it." Liu Hu said with difficulty, his eyes blackened in pain.

"Do you think that if you keep silent, the people behind the scenes will let go of the person they use to threaten you? I can tell you, that is impossible. If you die, that person will not be alive." Yun Hao sneered, " Maybe that person is dead."

"No, they promised me that they would release my sister and my son." Liu Hu murmured to himself.

"Stupid, you are of use value. They used your sister and son to threaten you so that you can be used by them. But now that you have been caught and have lost your use value, do you think they will keep your sister and son alive? ? If you confess truthfully, you might be able to save the lives of your sister and son," Yun Hao analyzed coldly. There was a flash of struggle in Liu Hu's eyes, as if he was making a difficult decision.

"Liu Hu, confess, don't work for those people anymore," the interrogator advised.

Liu Hu opened his mouth, his eyes flickering.

"Liu Hu, I give you one last chance." Yun Hao didn't want to wait any longer. "You can choose to continue to hide the truth, but your sister and son will pay a heavy price because of your stubbornness."

"As long as you tell the truth, I will let my men do their best to save your sister and son." Yun Hao left some room in his words.

Liu Hu took a deep breath and made up his mind, "Master Yun, I am willing to confess. I also hope that Master Yun will keep his word and do his best to save my sister and my son."

"Don't worry, there are absolutely no lies in our adults' mouths," the interrogator said.

Liu Hu calmed down his breathing before saying: "Three months ago, I was working as a clerk at the city defense military equipment station. I loved drinking, and I met a businessman who sold good wine. After we went back and forth, we became good friends."

He talked a lot in a long speech. In summary, drinking can ruin things, drinking can make people cowardly, and drinking money can kill people. He is fond of drinking and greedy, and he has stepped into the trap of business.

After his sister and son fell into the hands of the other party, he had to obey the orders. He took the money given to him by the merchant, managed it, and was successfully elected to the Liangbi County Prince's Palace.

With the help of Xing Shang, he became a confidant of Prince Liangbi.

Prince Liangbi went out of the city to look for water, and he was one of his entourage.

The night before the accident happened to Prince Liangbi, he received a secret letter, which detailed the route and asked him to take Prince Liangbi that way and push Prince Liangbi off the cliff in a way.

"I know this is a trap. Once I make a move, there will be no turning back. But what can I do? The lives of my sister and son are in each other's hands, and I have no choice." Liu Tiger said painfully.

Yun Hao didn't answer and waited quietly for him to continue.

"The next day, I set out according to the instructions in the letter. The road was remote and dangerous, and few people knew about it. I deliberately led Prince Liangbi to the edge of the cliff, and pushed him off the cliff while no one was paying attention. ”

"You are not the only guard around Prince Liangbi. How did you keep the others away?" Yun Hao suspected that Liu Hu was not the only traitor among Prince Liangbi's entourage.

"I put laxatives in the porridge they drank in the morning. Someone put the medicine in my room. I don't know who it was," Liu Hu replied.

"How can we find that merchant?" the interrogator asked.

"After he arrested my sister and son, I never saw him again. Every five days, he would ask my son to write a letter and send it to the used clothes shop in Changtiao Alley."

Liu Hu thought for a while and added: "Tomorrow is the day for him to deliver the letter to the store. But now that I have been arrested, I don't know if he will still deliver the letter."

"What does the merchant look like?" the interrogator continued to ask.

"He is very tall, a full head taller than me, and there is a scar at the corner of his left eye." Liu Hu described.

After listening to Liu Hu's description, Yun Hao inexplicably thought that the assassin who assassinated Prince Xianli was also a tall man.

However, there was no evidence that they were the same person, and Yun Hao didn't worry too much. After asking Liu Hu a few more questions, he was escorted back to the prison and arranged for someone to stay in a second-hand clothing store.

"The others will intensify the interrogation and must find other traitors." Yun Hao ordered.

"Yes, my lord."

For the next few hours, ghosts cried and wolves howled in the execution chamber.
