Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 456 Interrogation
Xiao Yichen looked at the groom lying sideways on the ground, took the water prepared by the guard next to him, and splashed it directly on his face.

The groom felt a sense of suffocation coming, and then opened his eyes.

Xiao Yichen casually threw the copper basin in his hand to the ground, and with a "bang", it hit the groom's heart.

Xiao Yichen squatted down in front of him, narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at his face, and searched hard in his mind where he had seen him before.

The groom looked at Xiao Yichen in front of him, with a bit of panic in his eyes.

Hearing his whining sound, Xiao Yichen took off the cloth he stuffed in his mouth.

After the groom got his mouth free, he gasped heavily.

Xiao Yichen gave him a disgusted look, stood up, moved away from him, walked to the only chair in the middle of the secret room and sat down, looking at him like he was looking at a dog.

"Tell me." Xiao Yichen looked very lazy, sitting on this chair, crossing his legs, staring at the groom, putting away the killing intent in his eyes, "Who ordered you to do this?" ?”

The groom coughed and wanted to move, but because his tendons and hamstrings were severed, he could only put his face on the ground and look sideways at Xiao Yichen.

Because the light in the secret room was very dim, the groom couldn't see Xiao Yichen's expression very clearly, and he didn't speak after hearing Xiao Yichen's question.

He didn't hear the groom's answer right away, Xiao Yichen was not in a hurry, just sat like this, lowered his head, didn't look at the groom, and waited gently for his answer.

The secret room was very quiet, only the breathing of the groom and Xiao Yichen, and occasionally a dark wind would blow in, blowing the iron chains on the wall, and occasionally moving.

In this extremely claustrophobic environment, the groom could bear it at the beginning, but after a long time, he felt a little short of breath and became more irritable in his heart, so he finally spoke.

"No one instructed, everything was done by myself."

After the groom finally spoke, the corners of Xiao Yichen's mouth curled up slightly, and he raised his head slowly.

"is it?"

It was just two words, but the chill in Xiao Yichen's words made the groom's back go numb, and goosebumps appeared all over his body. Thinking of his wife and daughter, the groom answered bravely, "Yes."

Although Xiao Yichen smiled, there was no smile in his eyes at all. He stood up from the chair and walked slowly towards the groom.

The sound of footsteps came one after another, each time hitting the groom's heart, finally, Xiao Yichen stopped, squatted down in front of him, and looked into his eyes steadily.

"I heard that your daughter has recently suffered a serious illness and needs to spend a lot of silver taels."

Xiao Yichen was just narrating a fact, but the groom heard the threat from the words, immediately widened his eyes, and looked at him in horror: "Master, I did this all by myself. , Come at me if you want to kill or scrape, don't touch my family."

Xiao Yichen sneered: "This is a person who values ​​friendship, but as a servant, he has no basic loyalty. Should I let such a person go?"

From the beginning to the end, Xiao Yichen acted extremely calm, not hysterical, but on the contrary, his attitude, the cruelty in his eyes made the groom feel uncertain.

At this moment, Xiao Yichen has changed from his usual gentle appearance at the beginning, and his whole person is like a hell messenger who came to take his life.

The groom had never seen the Eldest Young Master like this before, so he looked very terrified.

Don't look at Xiao Yichen's gentle and refined appearance to the outside world, but deep down he has his own indestructible principles.

Ever since his sister was taken away by the bad guys when he was young, Xiao Yichen had been sad for several days, blaming himself very much for not protecting his sister well.

It was also after Xiao Yichen's younger sister An An was taken away by the bad guys, he changed from being naughty when he was a child, and followed Xiao Yanfeng to learn martial arts, practice calligraphy, and read books every day, just so that when he finds An An in the future, he can let her see How good my brother is is also to make myself stronger and able to protect the people I want to protect.

Therefore, the bottom line in Xiao Yichen's heart is his family and the people he cares about.

One is his wife, and the other is the person who promised to take good care of him.

Now that the groom touched the bottom line in his heart, Xiao Yichen naturally couldn't let him go easily.

Xiao Yichen also knew that it was impossible for a groom to plan such a murderous plan, and there must be other people behind him who were manipulating all this.

Xiao Yichen didn't know who the master behind the scenes was. After all, there were too many people who wanted Zhao Min to die right now, but the groom wanted to kill Wang Zimo the second time, which made Xiao Yichen a little puzzled. With whom did Zi'er usually have such a big grudge?

And according to what Zi'er said, which side is the man in black who suddenly appeared later?
Xiao Yichen didn't know all of this, but instead felt that he had been sucked into a huge vortex.

"Okay, let's take your word for it."

Xiao Yichen stood up, turned his back to the groom, put his right hand behind his back, and said a word in a fluttering voice.

The groom heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what Xiao Yichen said: "Thank you..."

Before the groom could finish his sentence, Xiao Yichen turned around with lightning speed and kicked the groom in the stomach.

The groom snorted, feeling that his internal organs had been kicked out of place, and saw the groom cough, and a lot of blood spit out of his mouth.

And Xiao Yichen just stood there, looking down at the groom, without showing a trace of sympathy.

"My patience is limited." Xiao Yichen gave the groom a last look coldly, turned around and walked away, and his voice became smaller and smaller in the groom's ears, "Don't let your wife and daughter do you. funeral objects."

When Xiao Yichen turned on the switch of the secret room, a faint light came in, then disappeared, and the secret room became pitch black again.

The groom looked at the constantly dancing flames on the wall, gasped heavily, recalled what Xiao Yichen said just now, and closed his eyes.

"I didn't expect that..." the groom muttered to himself, with a self-deprecating smile on the corner of his mouth, "The young master who looks gentle and elegant on the outside, and the lady who is kind and approachable, both have such a scary side behind their backs... "

"Hahaha..." The groom suddenly seemed to be crazy, and laughed haha. He laughed, but she shed tears. Right now, he seems to have reached a fork in the road. No matter which side he chooses, it is a dead end.
