The process of interrogating Fu Yi was not smooth.
No matter how he interrogated him, Fu Yi insisted that there were bandits in Baiyu City at that time, and the city was closed for three days just to suppress the bandits.
He also used the fact that he and other civil servants in the city rescued the people as excuses, thinking that he had no merit but hard work, and that he was framed and ended up in this situation.
Negi Yi was eloquent and confident. Seeing that the executioner was young, he was even more confident. He felt that he would be able to control him with his sophistication.
He didn't recognize Yun Que. At that time, Baiyu City was in chaos, and Yun Que had been acting secretly and didn't show up at all.
Yun Que said with a smile:
"Baiyu City is considered a stable place in the entire Jin Dynasty. Over the years, evil spirits have rarely caused chaos, which shows that you have managed it very well."
Negi Yi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have learned from you! I have been working hard for the people these years, and I have visited the surrounding villages and towns at least ten times a month. Only in this way can the people live and work in peace and contentment. I can learn from my loyalty! I am loyal to Your Majesty." How could Geng Geng collude with any demon from the Red Lotus Sect!"
Yun Que shook his head and said:
"I'm afraid there is a lot of content in what Master Negative said. I heard that there is a Qinghu Mountain near Baiyu City. There is a demon hunter on the mountain who makes a living by hunting demons all year round. The reason why I know that there are very few demons in Yuan County is that Because of the existence of the demon hunter."
After hearing this, Negi Yi immediately argued:
"My lord, please don't be deceived by some rumors! That demon hunter is just a hunter. He has no ability. He accidentally picked up a few monster corpses and sold them in the town. People mistakenly thought that he was a master of demon hunting. In fact, he was just trying to gain fame. Such people are not worth mentioning."
"Really, people's words are indeed terrible. It seems that the reputation of the demon hunter is due to your honor." Yun Que said with a half-smile but not a smile.
"It can be said that after all, our Baiyu City defenders often hunt monsters in the surrounding areas. Sometimes the corpses of the monsters they kill are picked up by some villains and make a big fuss."
"Now that Lord Negative is here, it just so happens that the demon hunter is also in the Punishment Department. How about you confront him in front of the court and see who is responsible for cleaning up the demons in Zhiyuan County," Yun Que said.
Negi Yi's expression changed, but he still pretended to be calm and said:
"No problem! Your Majesty, please bring that liar up!"
Yun Que smiled and said, "No need to bother, the demon hunter from Qinghu Mountain is right in front of you."
Negi Yi frowned and looked around suspiciously. Except for the jailer from the sky prison, there was no one else there.
"Where is he?" Negi Yi asked confused.
"I am!"
Yun Que's face darkened, and he said, "Fu Yi, you are good at taking credit. I have been hunting monsters in Zhiyuan County for fifteen years, but in the end, all the credit was taken away by you alone. You are so embarrassed!" "
Negi Yi was shocked. He never expected that the demon hunter from Qinghu Mountain would actually become the executioner of Tianlao!
As the city guard of Baiyu City, Fu Yi has naturally heard of the name of a monster hunter, but he has never seen one. Anyway, there are people hunting monsters, and he is happy and free. There are no evil spirits nearby, so he, the city guard, can be regarded as a good governer.
Negi Yi was speechless for a moment, his face full of shock.
"Let's not mention the matter of hunting monsters. Let's settle old scores and see what good deeds you, the city guard, have done over the years."
Yun Que continued with a sneer: "Laoshu Trading Company secretly suppressed merchants and traders everywhere. The reason why it can monopolize Baiyu City is you. You have received many benefits from the trading company! The three thousand acres of fertile land in the south of Baiyu City, you They monopolized the jade mine on the grounds that there was a jade mine underground, and trapped hundreds of farmers! Wujiazhai was plagued by demons and fed on living people, but you still turned a blind eye! Sir, you are really a loyal and good official Na!"
After listening to it, Fu Yi felt that his eyes were darkened and his heart was heavy.
All the guilt he had was revealed to others.
In fact, Yun Que didn't know what Negi Yi did, but Mei Qian, as a school captain, knew that. When taking a bath, Mei Qian often called Negi Yi a greedy white-eyed wolf.
Yun Que's eyes turned cold and he said in a deep voice:
"You have been greedy for so much, but you are still not satisfied. You actually colluded with the demons of the Red Lotus Sect and wanted to kill the princess. I advise you to tell the news about the Red Lotus Sect. Maybe you can die happily, otherwise the Ministry of Punishment will punish you severely. , you will taste them all!”
Negi Yi gritted his teeth and shouted: "I didn't collude with the Red Lotus Sect! I admit the corruption, but the Red Lotus Sect has nothing to do with me!"
Negi Yi is very aware of his crime.
He has been corrupt for many years. If he is found out, he will definitely be dismissed from his official position, but he may not necessarily be sentenced to death. After all, he is a seventh-level warrior. The court's punishment of practitioners is often different from ordinary people, and most of them will be given a lighter sentence.
Once he admits that he is related to the Red Lotus Sect, he will undoubtedly die, and there will be no chance of improvement.
"Okay, let's wait for the punishment!"
Yun Que gave an order, and Fu Yi was taken down and the torture began.
There are thousands of kinds of punishments in the sky prison, which are enough for even a seventh-grade martial artist to drink a pot.
Half a day later, Li Shu came to report.
"Sir, that guy who is negative is unwilling to confess. Ordinary torture is of little use to him. He cannot be beaten by a seventh-grade warrior. Torture will be effective only if he is tortured by a master who is also a seventh-grade warrior."
Yun Que was silent as he expected such a result.
Plow Technique came up with an idea and said:
"Actually, there is the simplest way to deal with a martial artist. If you don't give him food, he will be starved for ten days and a half. Even a sixth-grade martial artist, not to mention a seventh-grade warrior, can't stand it!"
Yun Tong nodded but said nothing.
No cruel method is too much to deal with a guy like Negi Yi, but if Negi Yi would rather die than admit that he is related to the Red Lotus Sect, even if he starves to death, he won't be able to get the slightest clue.
Yun Que didn't care about Fu Yi's life or death, his main purpose was to dig out clues about the Red Lotus Sect.
Seeing that Yun Que's expression was not good, Li Shu came up with an idea again: "There is another way to make him speak. Let's ask Si Tianjian's experts for help and use magic to interrogate him!"
"The method is good, but the Ministry of Punishment cannot transfer Si Tianjian." Yun Que said.
"Other cases will definitely not be transferred. The Red Lotus Sect case is of great importance and involves a heavy military crossbow. As long as we ask for help, Si Tianjian will not be able to evade it." Li Shu said.
"Then please ask Mr. Li to visit Si Tianjian in person." Yun Que said.
Li Shu agreed and immediately rushed to Si Tianjian.
When he came back, Plow brought someone with him.
This man was wearing casual clothes, less than thirty years old, with a neat and delicate appearance, short hair, and an expressionless face.
Yun Que glanced at him several times, but he couldn't tell whether the other person was a boy or a girl.
"This is Mr. Hua from Si Tianjian. He is in charge of the imperial city formation. He is the fourth disciple of Mr. Jianzheng. Jianzheng learned that the Ministry of Punishment was asking for help and specially sent Mr. Hua to help handle the case."
After introducing the plowing technique, he secretly made a six-level gesture towards Yun Que, indicating that Hua Buxie was a sixth-level master.
"Thank you, Mr. Hua, for coming to help me. I've been working hard all the way. Let's have a cup of tea and rest first." Yun Que said politely.
Si Tianjian has a special status. Even if the other party does not have an official position, he still has a higher status than the punishment officer. Especially if he is a disciple of the prison, he must treat him with courtesy.
"No need, where are the people."
Hua Buxie's tone was flat, with no emotional fluctuations audible, and his voice was low, sounding both male and female.
Yun Que once suspected that this person was a hermaphrodite or a eunuch.
Since he got straight to the point, Yun Que was of course happy to take him to the place where Fu Yi was imprisoned.
Negative Yi was imprisoned in the deepest part of Tianlao, the area where serious criminals were held.
The prisoners here are all highly cultivated, the cell doors are specially made, and are guarded by guards day and night, which is completely different from the cells where Shitou and Amei are imprisoned.
Fu Yi was tied up with five flowers and tightly trapped with iron locks. He was covered in blood. With Yun Que's eyesight, he could naturally see that his muscles and bones were not injured. The torture was only a skin injury.
Seeing Yun Que appear, Negi Yi didn't say a word and put on a tough attitude as if he had been wronged.
Opening the cell door, Hua Buyie walked up to Negi Yi, his face still expressionless, but a strange aura began to fluctuate around his body.
Yun Que immediately noticed that the other party's aura was much stronger than that of a seventh-grade monk.
Hua Buxie raised his two fingers together, pointed at the center of Negi Yi's eyebrows, and shouted softly:
"Think of it to its fullest potential, and speak of everything you know!"
The mysterious aura swept through the entire cell, like a breeze blowing, making everyone here feel a desire to talk to others, wanting to tell all their secrets.
Telling everything you know is a profound Confucian technique, its purpose is to get the other person to reveal their secrets.
This kind of magic is actually something that the Ministry of Justice is covetous of.
There are many strong bones, and even if you are tortured, you will not confess. If you can learn such a spell, then the interrogation will become simple.
It's a pity that the martial artist Yishui'er of the Criminal Department can only use swords and not magic at all.
Negi Yi's expression became struggling and very painful. Finally, tears and runny nose ran down his face, his eyes became dull, and he choked and said:
"I, I received 50,000 taels of silver from the Red Lotus Sect, and I have only done small things for them a few times! The Red Lotus Sect wants to kill the princess, and it's none of my business!"
Yun Que's eyes darkened and he asked, "Is it the Red Lotus Sect that ordered you to do this for three days?"
Fu Yi became more and more painful, his facial features moved, resisting the spell, but soon he started to cry again and said:
"Yes! They gave more benefits, I, I dare not disobey them! The Red Lotus Sect is too strong, they, they..."
The corners of Negi Yi's mouth began to bleed, and his voice became intermittent, and finally disappeared completely.
Yun Que was waiting to hear the key news, but when he saw it, Negi Yi rolled his eyes and fainted.
Hua Buxie then cut off the spell, and sweat broke out on his forehead, showing that he had spent a lot of money.
"This technique hurts the soul. If used continuously, he will die."
As soon as Hua Buxie said this, Yun Que felt very regretful.
It seems that it will take a while to learn the key information about the Red Lotus Sect.
Through this interrogation, Yun Que gained some understanding of the sixth-grade Confucian monks.
Very strong!
A seventh-grade martial artist can easily be beaten to death in front of a sixth-grade Confucian cultivator!
Confucian monks use literary energy as their magic power, and the moves they use are similar to those of verbal magic. At that time, Li Xuanju used the painting of the ground as a prison, which was actually very powerful. However, the master of the Red Lotus Sect had a deeper cultivation level and could easily break it.
Yun Que speculated whether Confucian monks had to open their mouths to cast spells. If so, he would have to search in the library of Yanwu Palace to see if there were any special skills such as the sealing sword technique.
When confronting a Confucian cultivator, first silence the other person, otherwise there will be no chance of a fight.
Since Fu Yi fainted, today's interrogation could only end here. Just as Yun Que was about to send flowers without thanking him and go out, a strange laughter suddenly came from the depths of the dark prison behind him.
"The power of a saint is used to interrogate prisoners, and they are just like a bunch of drunkards and ricebags! Hahahahaha!"
The sound came from a cell in the deepest part of the felon area. It was pitch dark and it was difficult to see who was inside.
Just when Yun Que wanted to ask who was imprisoned in Lishu, he actually dared to yell at the executioner, but he found that Lishu's expression was very strange, and he kept telling Yun Que to leave quickly.
