"Meet the person first, you will know later." Chu Ze patted Zhu Ming's hand away and continued walking inside.
He had a ruthless look.
Zhu Ping followed Chu Ze and gave his back a white middle finger in disgust.
Chu Ze paused in his steps.
Zhu Xiang's heart suddenly lifted, and he quickly retracted his raised fingers and hid his hands behind his back.
He stood in the yard, looking at Chu Ze's back anxiously.
Chu Ze also happened to turn around and said, "What's wrong with you?"
"...No." Zhu Xi smiled and shook his head.
"Then why do you look so guilty?"
Zhu Fang laughed twice and brushed off the matter with a haha, and asked Chu Ze: "Aren't you in a hurry to interrogate those two people? Why did you stop suddenly?"
"I was about to ask you where those two people are." When he turned around, he saw Zhu Ping's expression.
Zhu Xiang's heart dropped suddenly, and he even breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
He just said, how could this person have eyes behind his back?
Zhu Xiang's heart was calm, and he felt much more relaxed and casual. He pointed to the room next to him and said, "It's right there."
Seeing the man whose demeanor changed drastically, Chu Ze's doubts deepened.
After putting together what had just happened, Chu Ze narrowed his eyes slightly, walked up to Zhu Ming, looked at him critically, and said quietly: "Tell me honestly, did you do something behind my back just now?"
Chu Ze didn't notice it just now, can Zhu Ping recognize it now?
He's not stupid.
Zhu Xiang shook his head like a wavy drum and insisted: "No, absolutely not."
"Really do not have?"
"No."
Chu Ze stared at Zhu Ping for a long time, and finally let him go.
Chu Ze followed Zhu Xi's direction and came to the place where the servants were imprisoned.
He pushed the door open and walked in, and saw two men kneeling on the ground, their bodies tied up.
There was no one else in the room except them.
This is also because Chu Ze has confessed that the less people know about this matter, the better. Therefore, after Zhu Ping caught the person, he sent the person to Xiaoyao Tower, which specializes in punishing gamblers, with great fanfare, but secretly found a few The confidant secretly sent the person to the Zhenfu Division to wait for Chu Ze's interrogation.
When a person enters the Zhenfu Division, it is like a fish entering the net, and it will be difficult to escape.
Therefore, there is no need to keep anyone guarding here.
The servant trembled slightly when he saw Chu Ze and the others coming in.
The light in the room was bright enough for Chu Ze to see the fear in their eyes clearly.
Chu Ze sneered in his heart: With this little courage, how dare you frame someone?
Just ridiculous.
Chu Ze went straight to the front seat and sat down: "Tell me, what are your names."
The two servants looked at each other and said their names knowingly.
Chu Ze: "Then do you know why I want to arrest you?"
The servant on the left said tremblingly: "Because we gamble?"
Gambling was prohibited during the Hongwu period, and Zhu Ping used this excuse to arrest them.
But this was originally a game, and even the person who induced them to participate in gambling was arranged by Zhu Ping.
These two people always thought that they were unlucky, and then they were caught.
But as soon as they entered the Zhenfu Division, they understood in their hearts.
Gambling or something like that is probably done intentionally by the person in front of you, so catching them is the real thing.
After thinking about this, the fear in the two people's hearts became more and more intense.
But they still have a glimmer of hope.
"Sir, it's wrong for us to gamble, but according to the laws of our country, if you are caught gambling, you will only be sent to Xiaoyao Tower. Now, my lord has brought us two here. I'm afraid it is against the rules." The servant on the right is brave. If you are older, you have already entered the Zhenfu Department, and you still dare to talk to Chu Ze about the rules.
The last thing Chu Ze cares about is rules.
He looked at the two of them and sneered: "You have fallen into my hands, and you still want to enter Xiaoyao Tower?"
is it possible?
"Tell me, that night, what did you want to do when you sneaked outside the Lan Mansion in the middle of the night?" Chu Ze didn't bother to talk nonsense to them and went straight to the point.
The two servants pretended to be puzzled: "I don't understand what my lord is saying. We went to the Lan Mansion in the middle of the night? Maybe your lord has mistakenly admitted the wrong person and wronged a good man."
No oil or salt enters.
Chu Ze finally saw that these two people were going to be tough to the end.
In this case, he didn't waste any more words, tilted his head and raised his fingers, called Zhu Xi to him, and ordered in front of the two servants: "These two people are quite tough, Zhong, don't waste your time." Come on, it will be easier for them to send them to Xiaoyao Tower. I guess they won’t be afraid of being hungry for a few days. In this way, I remember that there are many torture instruments in Zhaoyu City, right? Take them out and use them one by one. "
He didn't believe that these two people could still be so tough.
People throughout the Ming Dynasty have heard about the criminal laws in the imperial edicts, even if they have never seen them.
It can be said that he was frightened by the news.
Skinning and removing bones is beyond their imagination, and there is nothing the prison can't do.
After Chu Ze took over, the situation was slightly better.
But the things are still there, but no one uses them on weekdays.
Now when it was brought up, the two servants turned pale with fright.
The two of them fought for the ground with their heads: "We said, whatever you ask, we will say, please have mercy!"
This is right.
Chu Ze's lips curled up: "Answer my previous question, remember, I want to listen to the truth."
How dare two servants lie.
Chu Ze's words were about to fall, and the two of them poured out everything they knew like beans from a bamboo tube: "Returning to your lord, that night, the two of us secretly delivered a box under the order of Lord Yu Ji. Entering the study room of Lan Mansion."
Chu Ze immediately asked again: "What is the gift?"
"We don't know either. We only know that it's a carved wooden box. As for what's inside, Master Yu doesn't allow us to open it. He only lets us put the things in, without even asking any questions."
Chu Ze believed this.
After the two of them finished speaking, Chu Ze immediately asked: "Where exactly is that thing placed?"
"In the secret room on the floor of Lan Jade's study."
After getting the specific location, Chu Ze didn't dare to stay for a moment and immediately headed to Lan Mansion.
The things in that box would probably be harmful to Lan Yu.
Things must be found immediately. The longer they are left, the less safe they become.
Zhu Ming had just listened to a play, but before he heard anything about it, he saw that Chu Ze was about to leave.
He hurriedly followed, and the two of them got into the carriage: "By the way, you haven't told us yet, what is going on."
At this time, Chu Ze no longer hid anything from him, and told him in detail what he heard in the alley that day and the reasons why he wanted to arrest these two people.
After Zhu Ping heard this: "No wonder you are so anxious."
"But this Yu Xi doesn't seem like someone who would do such a thing."
Zhu Xi couldn't figure it out.
Chu Ze snorted coldly: "What's wrong with you? Isn't there enough intrigue in the officialdom?" Since Lan Yu was his father-in-law, he couldn't ignore it.
The carriage stopped at Lan Mansion. In the past, people who did not need to be notified at all were stopped outside the house today.
Chu Ze: "?"
Why stop him? ?
