Concubine Agent: My lord, stop pretending

Chapter 223 Extorting a Confession

Ye Jing smiled coldly when he heard the words, and asked in a low voice, "Did Shen Zhibi come to Cangning?"

"Back to Master, Shen Zhibi has secretly arrived in Cangning."

Ye Jing nodded, looked back at the person on the bed, and said to the dark place: "You stay here, I'll go see Shen Zhibi."

"Master, if you go, wouldn't you..."

"I have my own measure." Ye Jing said, "You protect her." The voice fell, and the person had disappeared, leaving only the autumn leaves in the courtyard, falling with the wind.

In the quiet countryside at night, in an ordinary house like dust, a dim oil lamp emits a faint light, so that this room will not fall into boundless darkness.

"This is it?" Li De looked around, looked at the master beside him, and asked in question.

"Exactly, this is the small ancestral house, sir, please come in." The master bowed and nodded, leading Li De to the door, and glanced at the guard at the door calmly.

Li De nodded again and again, patted the master's shoulder lightly, his eyes showed approval: "Good job!"

The master smiled slightly, lowered his head, retracted the look in his eyes, and invited Li De in.

In a dimly lit room, a woman was tied to a beam and pillar, her pale complexion weakened a little under the warm candlelight, but it could still be seen that she had been tortured.

Li De walked in front of the woman, and the master hurriedly ordered someone to bring up a chair, and said, "My lord, this woman's teeth are quite hard. My man has already been tortured, and she has fainted now. She is an ordinary woman. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear the torture any longer."

Li De sat down and said, "We don't have much time, we must let her speak!"

The master nodded and ordered: "Come on, wake her up!"

A basin of cold water was poured on her head, He Shi moved her body, her eyelids were heavy, she curled up the corners of her lips coldly, and said in a weak voice: "I... won't say anything..."

"If you tell where the booklet is, I will kill you!" Li De looked at Mrs. He indifferently, his eyes were full of coldness and viciousness.

"Impossible. I am alone now, and I am not afraid of death." He gritted his teeth and said, "The worst thing is to reunite with Lao He."

"Alone?" Li De sneered, and looked at He Shi sarcastically, "I have already checked. You have a younger brother who was separated since childhood, but you have known each other five years ago. Now he is married and has children. Your husband's younger sister is his wife, and you are exchanging relatives, and you usually make a living by fishing. If you know the truth and hand it over, I will spare them."

"Don't touch my younger brother and sister!" He opened her eyes suddenly, stretched out her hand and grabbed Li De, but she couldn't move at all because of her bound hands and feet, and shouted, "They don't know anything, my lord, don't involve them !"

"This official said, as long as you hand over the booklet, this official will reunite your family."

He Shi didn't speak, and slowly lowered his gaze.

Seeing that she was hesitating, Li De continued: "Mr. He, you can think about it. Now that your husband is dead, your younger brother and sister are your only relatives. If they die too, your two families will die." It's over."

He Shi bit her lip, the look in her eyes changed from dead silence and despair to the struggle at this moment, and even fell into a bit of helplessness.

"Your Excellency, can you really guarantee that our family will be reunited?" She closed her eyes deeply, and asked slowly.

"It's natural, and I don't want to make trouble!" Li De replied solemnly.

He said: "The brochure is in the belly of the salted fish that is drying in my house."

Li De was overjoyed, and quickly said to the master: "You take someone to fetch it yourself!"

The master didn't speak, and still stood motionless, with his head down.

"Go!" Li De said again, remembering something, and said, "By the way, that family..." He stopped talking here, and made a silent gesture.

Seeing this, Mrs. He was shocked and shouted, "My lord! Didn't you say you want our family to be reunited?"

"Send you to Huangquan Road for a reunion!" Li De laughed, turned around and saw the master was still standing there, and kicked him, "Go!"

The master still stood still, looked up at Li De, wanted to say something, but finally closed his mouth and hung his head in silence.

Seeing this, Li De became even angrier. He kicked the master's ass and said angrily, "Maohou, you..."

"Haha!" Suddenly a loud laugh interrupted Li De's words. The laughter was very flamboyant and clear, knocking gold and broken jade, "Hairy monkey? Hahaha..."

"Who?" Li De twisted his mind, stared at the door, and shouted, "Who dares to laugh at me?"

"Who laughed at you? Don't be too sentimental." Qinglie's voice came closer and closer. Outside the door, a tall man in white clothes and black hair walked in. See that jade-like and picturesque, elegant and dusty outline.

"Who are you?" Li De realized something was wrong just after asking, and said angrily towards the door, "Come here, pull this person out!"

The master tugged at Li De's sleeve, then took a step forward, knelt down towards the man in white, and said, "Young one, see Mr. Hua!"

"Hua Shizi?" Li De didn't realize it, and looked up at the white-clothed man, and then he suddenly felt the innate dignity and luxury that cannot be ignored.After walking a few steps and seeing the other party clearly, his feet were suddenly unsteady, he staggered a step, and couldn't believe it, "Why is Hua Shizi here..."

Ye Mohua didn't look at Li De, smiled and said to the master on the ground: "It's not that I want to laugh at you, it's because your name is... impressive! No wonder everyone calls you master, this name... "

"Small panic." Master Mao said and kowtowed, then turned to look at Li De who was standing still, not knowing what to say.

Li De woke up suddenly, and immediately knelt down: "Your official, Li De, governor of the Cangning Mansion, has met Mr. Hua!"

Only then did Ye Mohua slowly shift his gaze to Li De's body, without fading his smile, he glanced at the surroundings of the room lightly, and asked, "It's midnight, what is Master Li doing?"

Li De recovered a lot of sanity and rationality, "Returning to my son, the officials are interrogating this woman and want her to tell the whereabouts of the booklet."

Ye Mohua smiled uncontrollably, looked at the woman, and frowned slightly.

Huan Jiu appeared, lit a few candles and came in, instantly lighting up the whole room, and he could see the woman's face more clearly.

"It turns out that Master Li's trial method is like this, it's really eye-opening!" Ye Mohua laughed mockingly, and said slowly, "I don't know what Master Li has tried?"

"This..." Li De looked at the master next to him hesitantly. The two of them were still kneeling on the ground, neither of them dared to get up without Ye Mohua's words.

Li De was full of bewilderment, he hung his head and hesitated, not knowing how to answer.Hua Shizi arrived suddenly, so he must have heard some news, and he didn't even tell him such a big thing as Hua Shizi's arrival in Cangning. Is it because he is really deaf, or is someone deliberately concealing it?
