A'rou looked at the confident Hei Lu'er and shook her head helplessly. Those men in black looked glib just by looking at their faces, and few of the words they said were understandable.
"Why, you don't believe it?" Seeing the confusion on A'Piao's face, Hei Lu'er chuckled, "Since we can tell which words are true and which are false, we can tell them clearly, There is no need to fool us with lies, because you can't fool us. The consequences of not telling the truth will be your own misfortune. We won't take their lives, but we won't make it easy for them either."
"Life is worse than death. This should be the most painful."
"That's right." Hei Lu'er nodded, "We can tell them our rules, such as how many whips they will receive for telling a lie, or what kind of punishment they will receive, and let them weigh it themselves. If They feel that their bodies are very good and can withstand beatings, no problem, I am happy to entertain them, but I just feel a little aggrieved, I have been wronged for no reason, and I haven't vented my anger yet, so I take it out on them. If they feel they can’t handle this beating, they should tell them honestly.”
"This is a very good method. Master Hei is really good at it." Ah Rou touched her chin, "As for other punishments, why not leave it to me? I have a way to make them feel that life is the happiest thing in the shortest time. .”
"no problem."
"Now that the discussion is over, let's eat quickly." His Highness put a few pieces of meat on their plates and raised his chin towards the two people who still wanted to continue communicating. "It's too cold. Please continue chatting. This meal should be completely cold. If you feel uncomfortable eating it, you don't have to think about showing off your skills. You can only wait for the imperial doctor to do whatever he wants to you."
After dinner, they prepared wind protection, thick cloaks, and hand warmers. Seeing that everyone was wrapped up tightly, Ah Piao opened the palace door.
The moment he opened the palace door, the biting cold wind whizzed in with snow slag, and even though he was tightly wrapped, he was still instantly chilled to the core.
"The weather that finally got warmer was completely brought back to its original state by the snow that fell all day long." A Piao helped His Highness walk out, with Hei Lu'er and A Rou following behind them, "I don't know. How long will it stop snowing? This year's food supply is a big problem. Although there are surpluses in the granaries everywhere, but..." She sighed softly, "The heavy rains some time ago have already washed away some of them. Although some of the granaries have been saved, if you want everyone to survive the disaster years, I'm afraid it's not enough!"
"Who says it isn't? Although Yiqing Prefecture is besieged, the situation in other places is still under our control. That bastard will not go to disaster relief just because I am trapped. He can do nothing but take advantage. . To be honest, if he has some ability, I would be happy to consider him as one of the candidates. Unfortunately, he is not suitable to be the king of the Jin Kingdom." His Highness sighed softly, "I don't know. It’s not retribution, I have done too many wrong things before, and there have been many more natural disasters in the past two years than in previous years.”
"If His Highness says so, we are not the only ones who have done something wrong. Then won't Xia and Liao have to suffer?" A Piao stretched out her arm and asked His Highness to put his hand on it, "This is so vain. Damn, Your Highness still doesn't believe in subtleties. Those guys who know astronomy and geography from the top, and who keep claiming that they can help people turn danger into good fortune and help people improve their future, nine and a half times out of ten are charlatans and charlatans, and cannot be trusted."
"Why nine and a half?" His Highness looked at Ah Piao curiously, "What is the remaining half?"
"Your Highness, the remaining half are storytellers who travel around the world." Hei Lu'er added, "Your Highness has been in the palace for a long time and doesn't know the methods of these charlatans. They are really endless. Those of them When it comes to facial recognition, they won’t always tell you that this is not good or that is not good, nor will they always say that if you don’t do something, something bad will happen to you. They will also say Telling you good things about you, your experience, etc., their method is actually to gain your trust first, and then slowly let you fall into their trap. Believe in what they said, and in the end, their entire wealth and life will be lost. It all belongs to them.”
"Then what if I don't believe it at all?" His Highness waved his hand towards A Rou, who was about to hold an oil-paper umbrella for himself, "The snow is not heavy, so there is no need."
"There are ways to not believe. For example, if you don't believe the disasters they are talking about, they will let their minions stare at you and create some accidents, so that you have to believe that these are not coincidences. What they said is particularly true. ." Hei Lu'er saw Ah Rou staggering and quickly reached out to support her, "Be careful and watch the road."
"Thank you, Master Hei." Ah Rou grabbed Hei Lu'er's arm and managed to stand up, "What you just said is indeed true. I remember the little sisters who came into the mansion with us. There were several of them. , the adults in the family were deceived by these charlatans, and as a result, they owed a lot of debt, the family was ruined, and they had to sell their children." She shook her head gently, "I don't know what those things are. When charlatans do these unscrupulous things, they don’t know if they are worried that the same thing will happen to them in the future.”
"Who knows, if you were worried about retribution, you probably wouldn't do such a thing!" His Highness supported Ah Piao and walked slowly, then turned to look at Hei Lu'er and Ah Rou, who were supporting each other, " Why do you two look so similar..."
"Old couple." Ah Piao added, seeing her sister glare at him, "It's just a metaphor."
"Sister, you should watch the road carefully. It doesn't matter if you fall, but don't cause His Highness to fall too." Ah Rou rolled her eyes. Although she expressed disgust, she did not let go of Hei Lu'er's hand. "We are almost reaching the dungeon, what do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to take a look." Hei Luer looked at His Highness, then at A Piao, and finally at A Rou, "Do you want to watch us interrogate people?"
"It's okay, but you can't be too rough." Ah Piao glanced at Hei Lu'er, "Be a little gentle, okay?"
"Then it depends on whether they cooperate. If not..." Hei Lu'er spread his hands, "But don't blame me for being evil and cruel."
Your Highness listened to A Piao, A Rou and Hei Luer bickering along the way, and silently thought about her own worries in her heart. With the three of them around to make jokes, her nervousness eased a lot. To be honest, this time she went there In the dungeon, she would inevitably see her aunt. Until now, she had not thought about how she should see her aunt.
"Don't worry!" A'Piao could see His Highness's nervousness and comforted her softly, "We are still here!"
