Following Zheng Fuyin's angry rebuke, the government officials on both sides prepared to escort Lu Zhizhang out of the interrogation room.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhizhang cupped his hands and said, "It's better for you all to take action! I'll ask you to leave."
After the words fell, Lu Zhizhang flicked his sleeves and left angrily.
There was an uproar in the hall, and even Mo Xia didn't know why this change was so sudden. But after Lu Zhizhang's big fuss just now, she felt a little alert.
Of course, Zheng Fuyin also knew that it would be difficult to try again at this time, so he only asked people to escort Mo Xia and retreat first.
After Mo Xia also left, one of the subordinate officials immediately stood up and said, "Sir, this Lu Wenwen is gone, how should we record it in this file?"
"How else can we record it? Mr. Li, I remember that there is more than one clerk in our house, Lu Zhizhang. Your son is not also working as a clerk in our government office. If Lu Zhizhang contradicts his boss, you can ask your son to replace him!" Another person The official said.
"Mr. Chen is joking. This matter has to go through the Yushitai and then be submitted to the Holy Emperor. My kid is just a bit of a fool. He can't write documents as good as Mr. Lu. I think this matter should be left to Mr. Lu. When the clerk comes back, after all, he represents the face of our department." Mr. Li quickly retorted after being named.
But his proposal was obviously not acceptable to Zheng Fuyin. "Okay, that guy named Lu is just a wooden head. If he is asked to write this document, the case will never be settled."
After hearing what Zheng Fuyin said, Mr. Li didn't seem surprised. He only directed his words to the subordinate officer who had just proposed his son to replace Lu Zhizhang.
He smiled and said, "What you say is absolutely true, but my son is not good at it. He will inevitably lose the face of our government office in Beijing. Speaking of which, Mr. Chen's handwriting is pretty, and Mr. Chen was once the top prize in the rankings. His talent is definitely far superior to that of Lu Wenwen. This opportunity to express your opinion is a rare one. If not, I should let Mr. Chen do it for me, right?"
Mr. Chen, who was named, quickly waved his hand and said, "I am getting older and my thinking is no longer flexible. What can I write?"
Although these people's words are gentle, they are full of gunpowder.
Why couldn't Zheng Fuyin hear their refusal? He said coldly, "Okay, it's just a thousand-year-old fox pretending to be a fairy tale. Now we are on the same boat. The time given by the superiors is so tight, and they attach so much importance to it." , if this errand doesn’t go well this time, I will not be the only one to be punished, and you won’t be able to forgive me either.”
"On the other hand, if it is done well, your contribution will certainly not be small."
After hearing Zheng Fuyin's words of kindness and power, these old foxes in the officialdom, some of whom could foresee the risks, only responded and said nothing, while others only pushed the newcomers who had just entered the yamen to support them. The newcomer who didn't know what was going on thought it was an opportunity, so he naturally accepted it stupidly.
After solving the paperwork problem, they allowed Mo Xia to come back.
However, Mo Xia, who came back, had already begun to wake up after Lu Zhizhang's words just now.
Moreover, what Zheng Fuyin said afterwards was clearly to trick her into admitting that she was the one who killed her. Although she could not escape punishment for her injuries, at least she still had a way to live.
However, if he admits that he has killed his son, death by a thousand cuts will be considered trivial.
Mo Xia naturally refused to admit the matter, and then Zheng Fuyin didn't bother to pretend. Seeing that Mo Xia refused to admit it, he directly asked his subordinates to tie the person to a shelf. After that, he sent a yamen servant to whip out a whip and beat him Mo Xia was whipped.
He thought that no one could survive the intimidation of torture instruments, especially this person was a woman.
Unexpectedly, when Mo Xia was being whipped, she gritted her teeth and said nothing.
The barbed vine whip with the whistling sound of the wind scraped through the flesh, only connecting the flesh, and blood poured out in an instant.
Seeing the pain on Mo Xia's face, Zheng Fuyin said, "Are you going to do it?"
"I've done all the tricks I should have done, and I won't recognize any of the ones I shouldn't have." After her words fell, Mo Xia just took a mouthful of blood foam.
Naturally, these words angered Zheng Fuyin. Seeing this, Zheng Fuyin just slapped Mo Xia again.
Even in order to make Mo Xia feel the pain, those people only poured salt on Mo Xia's wounds.
For a Jianghu person like her, she had not suffered this kind of pain for more than ten years. Now that the world is at peace, even though she was looking for her daughter, she might not have suffered such pain and torture for a long time.
If it hadn't been for today, she wouldn't have known that the most notorious corner in the world was never among the people, but this place of power.
However, she risked her life and refused to admit this crime.
But the pain, which was like a storm, still made her faint.
Seeing her being so stubborn, the others just looked at each other.
"Sir, I heard that this prisoner used to be a gangster. The last thing a knife-edge licker is afraid of is physical pain. How about we find another way?" One person said with a bad idea.
"What else can we do? There are no clues at all now, but the superiors say that His Majesty is furious and asks us to give a conclusion later. I think this woman is just being stubborn." Zheng Fuyin said angrily.
Then he directed a government servant to bring a bucket of water, and Mo Xia, who fainted for a moment, was woken up again by someone splashing on her.
"Are you going to recruit me or not? If you don't, we have plenty of ways to punish you." Zheng Fuyin asked sternly with a hateful face.
The other subordinate officials only looked aloof, watching the fire from the other side.
Mo Xia sneered and said, "What are you recruiting? To recruit you, Yin Qu, who is from the capital, to make a move? To recruit you, who is from the capital, to be in cahoots with each other?"
These words were like lighting a flame on a firecracker. Zheng Fuyin, who was hit by the pain point, naturally said angrily, "Hit me to death."
Then there was another round of punishment. When Mo Xia was brought back to the prison, she could hardly stand. In the end, two jailers dragged her by one arm and threw her into the prison like a dead dog.
Jiang Nianjiao, who was in the same room, almost didn't recognize that the almost bloody person was Mo Xia.
She just asked loudly, "Didn't Lu Zhizhang say that lynching would not be used during the suspicion stage? Why would Senior Mo do this!"
Naturally, the other jailers also knew about Lu Zhizhang's angry departure just now. They naturally ignored Jiang Nianjiao. Even when Jiang Nianjiao came to question him, they just pushed Jiang Nianjiao to the ground and then locked him up and left.
Before leaving, a jailer did not forget to mock and said, "What about Mr. Lu? He just angered Zheng Fuyin by being ignorant of current affairs in the interrogation room! You'd better be good in the future, otherwise he will implicate you, but there are also You deserve it!”.
Jiang Nianjiao banged on the door to ask for an explanation, but to no avail, so she had no choice but to turn around and support Mo Xia. She struggled to help Mo Xia lie down on the mat.
Then she tried to find medicine for her injuries, but unfortunately she came in a hurry this time and didn't prepare anything.
Seeing Mo Xia's painful look, she could only knock on the cell door again, hoping to attract the jailer's attention. However, the prison they held contained the most important targets of the Shangjing government. Who would dare to get under the eyes of the King of Hell? There are rescuers down there.
Therefore, no matter how noisy Jiang Nianjiao was, they ignored her.
After all this trouble, in the afternoon, someone from the Jiang Mansion came to visit the prison again. This time, in addition to Lianying, there was also a boy with his head lowered behind her.
Jiang Nianjiao didn't pay attention to the boy. Looking at Mo Xia who was unconscious, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but ask Lianying, "Lianying, do you have any medicine on you?"
Lianying had seen that Jiang Nianjiao was not injured, so it was naturally impossible for her to prepare additional medicine for injuries.
But the boy who was following Lingying only responded at this moment, "I have some medicine for injuries."
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao quickly stretched out her hand and said, "Give me the medicine quickly!"
However, the boy calmly held the medicine in his hand. He had no intention of giving the medicine to Jiang Nianjiao.
Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but feel a little angry, but when she raised her head and looked at the man, she saw that the boy in burlap clothes had a noble and attractive face. As if he was aware of Jiang Nianjiao's gaze, the man actually raised his gentle and gentle face. Moon's smile. A pair of amber peach blossom eyes only blinked at her slyly.
Jiang Nianjiao was stunned for a moment and almost didn't call out his name. If he hadn't winked at her just now, Jiang Nianjiao would have almost blurted out the question.
She really didn't expect that Zhao Yanzhen would dress up as a servant and go to such a shameful place.
Zhao Yanzhen only moved a little closer to her, then he passed her and looked at the woman lying on the bed and asked, "What's wrong with her?"
When asked about this, Jiang Nianjiao just said to him, "Want to know?"
Zhao Yanzhen nodded noncommittally.
Jiang Nianjiao
He just extended his hand to him and said, "Then give me the medicine and I will tell you."
Zhao Yanzhen had no intention of leaving this person alone, but when Jiang Nianjiao spoke, he naturally put the medicine in Jiang Nianjiao's hand.
It's just that this man really loves to tease. When he handed the medicine to Jiang Nianjiao, he didn't forget to scratch Jiang Nianjiao's palm.
When Jiang Nianjiao withdrew her hand and stared at him because she was ticklish, he still smiled as if nothing had happened.
Lingying obviously came to cooperate with Zhao Yanzhen. Seeing the two of them sitting together and talking, Lingying took the food box and distributed the food to other prisoners who looked over curiously, hoping to divert their attention.
After all, His Highness the Third Prince is very thick-skinned and loves to tease, so it is always not good for others to see him flirting.
However, Zhao Yanzhen was rarely serious this time. Apart from scratching Jiang Nianjiao's palm just now, there was no other inappropriate behavior after that.
While Jiang Nianjiao was applying medicine to Mo Xia, she lowered her voice angrily and said, "Fu Yin Zheng wants to force Senior Mo to confess to the murderer of his son's murder."
Zhao Yanzhen looked at Mo Xia and said, "Is she then?"
Jiang Nianjiao heard this and said angrily, "How is that possible! Senior Mo just saw him teasing my sister on the street and gave him a lesson. I didn't expect that this guy was causing trouble everywhere when he was alive. Now he can't let people live in peace after death."
Zhao Yanzhen had no doubts about this. After all, he and Zhao Ruian had been brothers for decades. He knew best what kind of character Zhao Ruian was.
