The assassin thought it was over, but Ma Yiyang asked Zhu Qianyi to step forward and blindfold him himself.
There was another "sizzling" sound in his ears, and Ma Yiyang acted like a cold killing machine: "I only ask you three questions, and you only have three chances to survive. If you can't answer, or refuse to answer, you Your colleagues will serve as a warning to you.”
The two assassins were together, and it would not be wrong to say they were colleagues.
"May I have your name?"
"Zi——Zi——Zi——"
Wha...what?
The assassin hesitated for a moment, and then the unbearable heat wave hit his face.
If he could see it, he wouldn't be so afraid. People are always twice as afraid of unknown things.
"Lin Bo! My name is Lin Bo!"
It's just a name, it doesn't matter, none of them use their real names as assassins, because they are afraid of damaging their families.
The heat on his face disappeared, and Lin Bo also breathed a sigh of relief, but Ma Yiyang didn't give him a chance to think at all, and then asked: "Are you from the capital?"
Why do you ask about this? Does this have anything to do with this case?
Lin Bo's expression changed and he decided to grit his teeth and say nothing.
"Zi——"
"Ahhhhh..."
After only a moment of hesitation, the branding iron had already been stamped hard on his chest.
It turned out that the extreme pain made it impossible to scream, but thick saliva flowed from his mouth, mixing with tears, making his head feel dizzy.
It is impossible to faint, and the selfless and murderous Ma Shangshu will not allow it.
"Wow!"
A large bucket of cold water was poured on Lin Bo's face, and he woke up completely.
Just because he was awake, the pain in his chest became more intense, and he struggled violently on the human-shaped wooden stake.
"Kill me! I beg you, please kill me!"
He had had enough, really had enough.
It has been three days since he was arrested. He has not slept for three days. Ma Yiyang is not a human being. He has interrogated them for three days and three nights.
They were not allowed to eat, and they could only drink a little water or tasteless soup. Not being able to go to the toilet, I had to do it in my own pants. He couldn't close his eyes, and he would be whipped as soon as he closed his eyes.
He had been staring at Ma Yiyang for three days, and he hadn't let up for a moment.
"Let me ask you one last time, are you from the capital?"
"No...no...I'm not..."
He was afraid that Ma Yiyang was deceiving him. In fact, he already knew that he was not from the capital, but he asked deliberately. If he lied, he would be burned with a soldering iron.
The key was that the hot feeling was already coming to his face again, and he couldn't even think about it anymore.
"You must answer the last question right away, otherwise I can't guarantee where this thing will land on your body later."
The crotch of his pants was frighteningly hot. He was indeed a pervert, and he actually wanted to make a decent man into a eunuch.
But before he could curse a few words, Ma Yiyang had already approached with a soldering iron. He thought that he would not ask whether he was married or not. Is there any family left?
Anyway, he is alone, so he is not afraid of him asking.
"Who ordered you to assassinate the Queen of Heaven?"
"Of course he is the most wise and mighty king of Goguryeo..."
etc!
What did he just say?
"It turns out you are a craftsman from Goguryeo!"
Zhu Qianyi's chest heaved up and down with anger: "Goguryeo really has no good intentions. I didn't like their Princess Laoshizi very much when she came."
Now there is actually a Goguryeo trickster pretending to be the Zhu family to assassinate the Queen of Heaven, which is disgusting.
"Master Shangshu, the Queen of Heaven has sent someone here. From your side..."
Ma Yiyang thrust the soldering iron into Zhu Qianyi's hand: "Don't let him die. The emperor will interrogate him when he comes back."
Zhu Qianyi snorted coldly: "Don't worry, you won't die."
Didn't you scold him so arrogantly just now?
He wanted to keep someone to play with slowly, how could he let him die so easily?
The noble concubine in the palace was killed!
As soon as the news came out, people started talking about it.
"From the gossip, I heard that the one who killed Jin Gui's concubine was the Queen of Heaven."
"Ah? It's impossible! The Queen of Heaven is already the number one person in the harem. Why did she kill the princess of Goguryeo for no reason?"
"It would be reasonable if the princess was favored, but isn't she not allowed to be favored? The Queen of Heaven can't do that, right?"
"You don't know this. Wasn't it true that the emperor was assassinated when he went to Dongshan some time ago? It turned out that the assassin killed the wrong person. The one who died was the emperor's new favorite, named Qianqian. I'll scare you to death. Her face was... It’s fake. I heard that it was the human skin mask that Jin Guifei gave to her new favorite. The Queen of Heaven was unhappy when she found out, so she took her anger out on Jin Guifei!”
"Brother, do you think you are very well-informed?"
"Of course, my aunt is a female official in Qingyang Palace, she knows a lot!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, the officials from the Ministry of Punishment clapped their hands on the table and stood up: "Shang Shu asked us to squat here for those of you who are spreading rumors. Brothers, come on, take them back and interrogate them carefully to see who slandered the Queen of Heaven." Who is the mastermind behind this?”
The people around who were getting excited dispersed in a hurry: "What's going on? Why did the Criminal Department come to arrest people?"
Zhu Qianyi took off his private clothes, revealing the official uniform of the Ministry of Justice's yamen underneath, and said righteously: "These people are all the work of Goguryeo. In order to cause disputes between the two countries and have a reason to attack our Dayan, they deliberately discredit the Queen of Heaven. Now The Ministry of Punishment wants to catch all these details that harm and divide our country. If you, the people of Dayan, provide useful clues, the government will give you generous rewards. Please keep your eyes open and make a contribution to the land where you live. For the sake of the prosperity of our country, please be careful and don’t let anyone with bad intentions succeed.”
"This is the responsibility of every one of us Dayan citizens, isn't it?"
Other officials from the Ministry of Justice pretended to be common people and echoed loudly: "That's so good. We can't let Goguryeo, like Fusang, deliberately fabricate things that don't exist and launch a war against us. We must keep our eyes open and see clearly what is hidden. Are the people around us our compatriots or our enemies?”
"Isn't it hard to tell? Those who speak ill of the Queen of Heaven and want to impose the death of Jin Gui's concubine on the Queen of Heaven are most likely the work of Goguryeo. We just need to pay more attention."
The impassioned speeches and the sober "common people" brought the atmosphere to a climax.
The crowd was excited, and everyone shouted: "We must find out those details. We can't let these little rat-like countries use us as guns and use the people of Dayan to deal with our Queen of Dayan."
"Yes, I hate people taking advantage of me the most. I must catch them and send them to the Ministry of Punishments to serve prison time. See if they dare to do it again in the future?"
For a time, the capital city was in turmoil, and everyone was in danger.
After all, no one wants to go to the Criminal Department.
