The main hall of the Wild Wolf Gang.
Zhou Zhenwen drew out the "Fa" knife, one of the eight interrogation knives, and inserted it into Ye Yuanwu's body without hesitation.
"ah!"
"Dad, dad, save me, save me! Help me!" Ye Yuanwu shouted in pain, his face was ferocious and painful, his whole body was shaking slightly, and he looked extremely painful, but because his acupuncture points were sealed, he could not move.
"No, don't, let him go, let my son go, what do you want to know? Ask me! He doesn't know anything!"
"He doesn't know anything!"
Ye Wusheng's heart was bleeding and he couldn't help shouting for mercy: "I will say anything, I will say anything, as long as you let him go!"
A cold and hoarse voice sounded: "First question, who asked you to refine the red elixir?"
Hearing this question, Ye Wusheng's pupils shrank suddenly. He originally thought that the other party came here to seek revenge, but he didn't expect that the other party came for that weird and taboo red pill...
"Pfft!"
Another blade penetrated Ye Yuanwu's body.
"Ah...Dad, save me, save me!"
"It hurts, Dad!"
Ye Yuanwu screamed in agony, his face as pale as paper.
"Okay, I say, don't hurt him again!"
Ye Wusheng knew that he had no choice. In order to save his son's life, he could only tell everything he knew: "It's Zhao Qi, the doctor in charge of the prison department of the Ministry of Punishments. He forced me to do everything!"
"I don't know anything. He gave me the refining method."
Zhou Zhenwen drew out the third blade and asked, "Second question, how many red pills have you refined over the years? How many people have you killed?"
Seeing that the masked man with a ghostly face was about to stab his son again, Ye Wusheng couldn't help it and shouted quickly:
"This... I don't know, I really don't know. The last step of refining the elixir was not done by me. Mr. Zhao will take the dying person away and let him complete the last step of refining the elixir. As for I don’t know how many people were killed, but we have records. The names are gone, but the specific number is there, and it’s in my study.”
"Everything I said is true, I didn't lie to you!"
Zhou Zhenwen looked at Ye Wusheng and continued to ask: "The third question, where are the imprisoned people?"
"It's...in the dungeon. You can find it by going down the secret passage in my room. I can take you there!" Ye Wusheng said quickly.
Zhou Zhenwen untied the two men's acupoints and ordered: "Lead the way."
"Yes, yes." Ye Wusheng nodded and bowed, his attitude was extremely respectful.
Ye Wusheng drew the knife for his son to stop the bleeding, wiped the blade clean, and returned it to Zhou Zhenwen.
Under the guidance of Ye Wusheng, Zhou Zhenwen quickly got the record book. Looking at the thick stack of ledgers, the densely packed names of people on the ledger, and many simple counting strokes, he was filled with anger and took the alchemy book. It's the taboo among taboos, and they are just like animals for killing people so frantically.
"Go to the dungeon." Zhou Zhenwen put away the ledger and ordered coldly.
"Yes." Ye Wusheng walked in front and gave his son Ye Yuanwu a slight look, indicating that he would wait and obey his command and be ready to escape at any time.
When the three of them passed Ye Yuanwu's room, they found the door open and a woman dressed as a maid lying in a pool of blood, already dead.
A woman wearing a dark red wedding dress, holding a dagger, stood silently in the door, watching the three people.
"You, you, you..." Ye Yuanwu looked at the woman in the wedding dress, his expression a little excited, a little nervous and scared, as if he didn't expect the scene in front of him at all.
"Sir, can you give me that person's life?" The woman in wedding clothes held the dagger tightly in her right hand and pointed at Ye Yuanwu with her left hand. There was a mixture of anger, pain, and despair in her tone.
"Reason." Zhou Zhenwen looked at the woman in wedding dress and asked.
The woman in the wedding dress is quite beautiful, with an oval face, willow eyebrows, a straight nose, a small cherry mouth, fair skin, and a bookish air about her, and she looks like she comes from a wealthy family.
"He...he killed my mother and forced my father to agree to his marriage. I have endured it until today just to kill the traitor and avenge my mother!"
"I just heard that the Lord came to seek revenge. When I knew the opportunity had come, I took the opportunity to kill the maid and have been waiting here for the Lord to arrive." Liu Qing, the married woman, stared at Ye Yuanwu with murderous intent in her eyes.
"As for this maid, she is not a good person either!"
"She has been following Ye Yuanwu for some unknown reason, and has been looking for candidates for Ye Yuanwu. My mother's death is also inseparable from her."
Zhou Zhenwen did not respond to the wedding woman's words and continued: "Let's go to the dungeon."
"Yes, yes, let's go to the dungeon first." Ye Wusheng breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. He glanced at Liu Qing coldly, and quickly stepped forward to lead the way.
The three of them were walking in front, and the wedding woman Liu Qing silently held a dagger and followed behind them without saying a word...
After a while, the four of them arrived at Ye Wusheng's room.
"Open the secret room door." Zhou Zhenwen ordered.
"good."
Ye Wusheng opened the secret door of the secret room and gave way to the passage.
"Lead the way." Zhou Zhenwen said.
"My hero, my son Yuan Wu doesn't have to go down, right?" Ye Wusheng hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said.
Zhou Zhenwen glanced at Ye Yuanwu and said again: "Lead the way."
"Yes, yes, yes." Ye Wusheng was instantly overjoyed and quickly stepped forward to lead the way, taking the lead into the secret door of the secret room.
Zhou Zhenwen followed in, and the secret door to the secret passage slowly closed.
Seeing both of them entering the secret passage, Ye Yuanwu's originally well-behaved face instantly darkened. His eyes were full of coldness and murderous intent. He looked at Liu Qing, the woman in the wedding dress, and gritted his teeth and said, "I like you, I am yours." It's an honor! It's your blessing to be favored by me! You still want to kill me!"
"You bitch, I will punish you right now!"
"Then I'll sell you to a brothel and make you miserable!"
After saying this, Ye Yuanwu strode towards the woman, stretched out his hand, and planned to take her down.
Liu Qing held the dagger tightly and was ready for a desperate fight.
At this moment, a stone flew out from the secret door of the secret room that was about to close and hit Ye Yuanwu's acupuncture point.
"boom!"
Ye Yuanwu's movements paused momentarily, and he was unable to move.
In an instant, Ye Yuanwu's expression changed, and he shouted in horror: "Don't come over, what are you going to do? Don't mess around, my father won't let you go!"
Liu Qing looked at the man indifferently, raised the dagger, and stabbed him in the chest. She only had one thought in her heart: Mom, my daughter has avenged you!
…
The capital, the imperial palace, the True Dragon Palace.
Empress Liang Zhao sat on the dragon chair, leaned back, opened the Empress Simulator 2.0 system, and clicked on the option.
[Future Events]: Qingzhou Incident, the Demon Queen’s harm to the country, the feudal king’s rebellion, the barbarian invasion, the demon sect’s rebellion, the Little Ice Age…
[Sims]: Empress Dowager Su Chang, left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs Liu Yuanqi, right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs Liu Yunqing, left minister of the Ministry of War Yan Zuo, Minister of the Ministry of War Dali Temple Cao Rui, General Chu Chi of the Royal Forest Army, Shangshu of the Ministry of War Wu Shangyong, Chief Assistant to the Cabinet Zhou Zhenwen......
"Last time, we simulated the Qingzhou Incident, the Queen Mother, Liu Yuanqi, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Liu Yunqing, the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The only thing we are worried about now is the spies of the Sirius Kingdom hidden in the imperial court. In the simulation, Yan Yan, the left minister of the Ministry of War, Zuo, it seems a bit suspicious..."
"How about I imitate him today?"
Empress Liang Zhao whispered to herself.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the hall, and the eunuch's voice asking for instructions interrupted her thoughts.
Empress Liang Zhao frowned, a little unhappy: "Come in."
After the eunuch came in, he bowed respectfully, holding a plate full of jade plaques in his hand, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, which empress is here tonight?"
"I'm a little tired, let's go down!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After the eunuch left, Empress Liang Zhao fell into deep thought, "Sure enough, this matter is still a bit of a headache."
Empress Liang Zhao sighed. Sometimes, she really wished that she was a man. In this way, she could act without any scruples and continue the legacy of the Great Wilderness.
But now Queen Mother Su Chang is in danger, and she is a girl, so she really has no time to deal with concubines.
However, if she refuses to accept her as a bed attendant for a long time, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Queen Mother. Even as time goes by, there may be rumors inside and outside the palace.
It is a big taboo for an emperor to have no heirs.
She had just succeeded to the throne and was still young, so that was nothing.
But as time goes by, the foreign minister will definitely become dissatisfied and feel that there is something wrong with his body.
Especially the feudal king, if his thoughts are united, he can do anything.
"For the sake of safety, it is better to go to Jiulong Mountain for simulation...Although the system says that outsiders cannot see the specific conditions of the simulation, it is difficult to control the time during the simulation process, so we must be cautious."
With this thought, Empress Liang Zhao secretly left the True Dragon Palace and headed to Jiulong Mountain.
After half a stick of incense, Empress Liang Zhao came to Jiulong Mountain and entered the nameless cave in the core area.
Along the way, Empress Liang Zhao was also thinking about what to simulate...
"I originally thought that the Demon Queen was harming the country and was referring to the Queen Mother, but the options have not changed yet..."
"So, is this Demon Queen not the Queen Mother, but the Queen?"
Empress Liang Zhao squinted her eyes slightly, looked at this option, and fell into deep thought.
This is no small matter. Both the queen and the queen mother are the masters of the harem and the people around her.
If there is a demon queen, no matter who she is, it will be an extremely headache.
"If we have just eliminated the queen mother, and another queen comes who will bring disaster to the country and the people, then I would rather not have it!"
Empress Liang Zhao was also frightened. She imitated the Queen Mother and discovered so many secrets. If the Queen was already in the palace, wouldn't it be troublesome again if she accidentally selected her and supported her to become the Queen?
"No, I still have to simulate it as soon as possible, otherwise I will feel uneasy."
"As long as I know who it is... I have a way to avoid it and prevent disasters from happening that endanger the country..."
Empress Liang Zhao immediately made up her mind and without hesitation, directly chose the option of [The Demon Queen harms the country].
"System, help me simulate the Demon Queen's mischief."
The system's voice sounded:
"The simulation begins..."
