Chapter 708: Inside and Outside the Door
After becoming suspicious of the true identities of the two corpses, Sun Shaozong originally wanted to have Yang Hancai brought over for identification.
But on second thought, although Yang Hancai acted very passionate in front of him yesterday, he might not be able to truly face death with courage.
Especially Wu Shuigen and his wife, who tortured him for another day and night.
What if he completely breaks down and yells something, wouldn't that just bring trouble to himself?
Of course, Sun Shaozong could also order people to set up a secret room and not allow anyone to approach when Yang Hancai was identifying the body.
only……
Instead of going through so much trouble, it would be better to take the body directly to the prison - moving a body is always safer than escorting a living person.
After making up his mind, Sun Shaozong immediately gave orders, ordering people to carry the two corpses on door panels and rush to the Tianlao.
No conversation along the way.
When we got near the Tianlao, we could hear the 'highest official' of the Dali Temple yelling in the yard, and the sound of his footsteps, like the beating of drums, never stopped for a moment.
Speaking of which…
This governor himself was also an important factor in the financial crisis of the Dali Temple. In this cold winter, a lot of money was spent to provide it with a warm and comfortable living environment.
A rough calculation shows that half a month 's expenses could equal Sun Shaozong's annual salary!
Tsk~
This is the treatment a butcher should receive!
After silently complaining about how humans are not as good as elephants, the clerk leading the way had already knocked on the prison door.
The one who came out to greet him was, as usual, the ninth-rank clerk Wang Biao.
Compared to yesterday at noon, he seemed much more listless. I don't know if it was because of the pressure of the heavy burden on his shoulders, or if someone had drained all his energy.
"grown ups."
Although Wang Biao also saw the two corpses on the door panel behind him, he did not ask any more questions. He just led the way and said, "Wu Xiaoqi is resting in another cell. I have sent someone to invite him. Now Madam Wu is guarding the prisoner."
Wu Shuigen was really dedicated to his job. He refused to go outside to rest even when he was tired. He just found an empty cell on the spot. Fortunately, the prison was gloomy and he could sleep soundly.
When I arrived at the interrogation room, the iron door was still closed and no one came out.
But Wang Biao had clearly sent someone to notify them just now - could something unexpected have happened?
Sun Shaozong was just beginning to feel suspicious when he saw Wang Biao hurriedly rushing a few steps and knocking on the door, saying, "Madam Wu, Lord Sun is here, why don't you hurry out to greet him!"
After a while, the iron door creaked open and Xu, with disheveled hair and flushed face, came out. She bowed gracefully and two rabbits almost jumped out of her loose black robe.
This woman...
What on earth is going on in there?
Although this woman was not a chaste and virtuous woman—she almost committed suicide with Bai Lian and her gang—she was not a seductive and flirtatious person either.
How could such a 'talent' be produced in just two years after joining the Northern Pacification Division?
Sun Shaozong waved his hand speechlessly: "You can leave first. I have something to ask Yang Hancai alone."
"Yo~"
Xu was probably used to showing off in front of her superiors, and was not afraid of Sun Shaozong. When she heard that Sun Shaozong wanted to question Yang Hancai alone, she covered her mouth with her hand and said with a joking smile: "It's an unfortunate coincidence that you came. I'm afraid you have to wait a while until I finish dealing with the aftermath..."
Without waiting for her to finish, Sun Shaozong pushed the door open and rushed into the interrogation room.
Yang Hancai was still chained to the wall in a spread-eagle position, struggling and shaking his head and tail, causing the chains to rattle.
But unlike the pale face yesterday, his face was flushed today, and he made a gurgling sound from his mouth, and I don't know how much saliva flowed from his mouth.
After Sun Shaozong took a few more glances, he turned around and left the interrogation room. He pointed his chin inside and ordered, "Be quick and don't keep me waiting."
"Don't worry, sir. I will make him tell the truth within half an hour."
Xu smiled coquettishly, then walked into the cell in a swaying manner, closing the door behind her.
Naturally, this scene made everyone curious.
But Sun Shaozong stood in front of the door with a cold face, and no one dared to ask him the first half of the question. They could only imagine it in their minds.
What they thought was pretty much the same.
The reason why Sun Shaozong turned around and walked out after taking a few glances was because he found that there was a big bulge in Yang Hancai's crotch.
Combined with his restless appearance, it was obvious that Xu was just using some kind of "whipping".
But now this punishment is probably going to turn into a pleasure.
It’s really cheap!
"Second brother, second...sir!"
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from afar, followed by Liu Xianglian's clear voice.
He originally called out to Second Brother, but when he saw more than a dozen people standing in front of the iron gate, he quickly changed his name and rushed over to ask breathlessly, "I heard that two monks died just now? There was also a black note hidden on the bodies?"
Because the Dali Temple's archives were not very detailed, he and Zhao Nan went to the Ministry of Justice to look up information today. On the way, he heard that there was trouble in the Dali Temple, so he hurried back.
But looking at his excited face, he doesn't look like he's coming back to help.
As expected, as soon as Sun Shaozong nodded, he immediately stepped forward and pulled Sun Shaozong aside without saying anything, whispering in a low voice: "Brother, if it is really the work of the 'owner of the black note', we should not interfere in this matter."
Having said this, he glanced at Sun Shaozong's face and continued, "Think about it, anyone involved in the black post is a wicked person who deserves to die. We can't help the tyrant, right?"
What does it mean to aid and abet the evil?
Sun Shaozong glared at him unhappily. He had already been working for seven or eight days, but this kid hadn't adapted to his new identity yet and always looked at things from the perspective of a street vendor.
According to folk rumors, the owner of the black letter was apparently revered as a knight who upholds justice.
Seeing Liu Xianglian looking at him with hope, and obviously not thinking there was anything wrong with this proposal, Sun Shaozong had to explain: "Let alone fighting violence with violence, which has always been prohibited by the court's laws and regulations - just to say that what he did today has nothing to do with the word chivalrous."
"How come?"
Liu Xianglian was stunned, turned around to look at the two corpses, frowned and asked: "Does brother think he killed the wrong person?"
"It's hard to determine whether the killing was wrong or not."
Sun Shaozong shook his head and said, "But let me ask you, two bodies were found in the Dali Temple, and my flag was flown on the ship. If the murderer is not found in a long time, who will be held accountable first?"
After hearing this, Liu Xianglian suddenly looked enlightened, but then he became conflicted again.
Finally, he sighed and said, "The owner of this black note is also wrong. Since he and my brother are both heroes of the time, they should respect each other. Why is he deliberately provoking my brother?"
"You still don't understand."
Sun Shaozong sighed helplessly: "He instigated the murderer to do this, obviously to force me to investigate further. If I can't find anything, it will naturally appear that he is more skilled; if I find out something - when has he ever done it himself?"
"Aren't the people who suffered in the end the ones who were instigated by him?"
"He may have given some people a chance to seek revenge, but he is definitely not a chivalrous man who upholds justice."
"Because he doesn't care at all about what will happen to those who, under his instigation, raise their butcher knives for revenge or justice!"
