Chapter 45 Why are you so scared?

At this time, at the entrance of the alley.

"Sir, this is the Dali Temple's interrogation room. It's not convenient for you to go in."

A guard with a knife stopped Xu Mubai.

Xu Mubai frowned slightly, "I came here with the lady in front."

"The lady in front?" The guard looked in the direction he was looking. "You mean, Lu Shaoqing's aunt?"

Xu Mubai: ...

He nodded with an indescribable expression on his face.

"You can't go in there either. The Dali Temple is an important place for the imperial court. No outsiders are allowed to enter."

"I saw the whole process of the young lady being robbed just now with my own eyes. I am here to testify." Xu Mubai said.

"A witness?" The guard looked at him scrutinizingly. "Then wait here for now. Come in when you're summoned."

Two guards, one holding a knife, crossed their arms and blocked the entrance to the alley.

When Su Yunyao walked out of the alley, Lu Mingfeng winked at the person guarding the exit.

He looked at Su Yunyao in surprise, and his eyes inadvertently fell on her and Lu Mingfeng's tightly clasped hands.

A hint of regret flashed in the guard's eyes.

It's a pity that such a beautiful girl made a mistake.

He turned and entered the interrogation room. In a breath, the criminal who had just been howling suddenly fell silent, but the air was still filled with a strong smell of mold mixed with the smell of blood.

Su Yunyao couldn't help but dry heave.

After leaving the alley, Su Yunyao let go of his hand naturally.

The moment his fingertips missed the target, a hint of sadness flashed across Lu Mingfeng's eyes.

That hint of gloom was so quick that no one could catch it, and even he himself didn't notice it, it had already disappeared.

Lu Mingfeng gave the interrogation seat to Su Yunyao, and she sat down without any hesitation.

The guard who had just been sighing came out of the interrogation room and was slightly stunned when he saw that Lu Mingfeng had simply moved a stool and sat down under the girl.

Why is this girl sitting there?

Then why did Lu Shaoqing hold her hand just now?

Isn't it because he was handcuffed?

At this time, the thief who had stolen the things was thrown to the ground mercilessly.

“Ah…Ahhh…it hurts…”

The thief screamed in pain on the ground. The pain went from his knees to the top of his head, making his entire head dizzy.

Especially when he was being dragged here just now, the shocking torture instruments painted on the wall had already frightened him so much that his legs went weak.

"My Lord, I was wrong. I was really wrong."

"I shouldn't have stolen your aunt's things. Please let me go."

Before the thief could finish his words, he saw a man being dragged out of the interrogation room. His skin was torn, an eye was missing, and there was a torture device hanging from his mouth.

There was a wet spot under him.

Su Yunyao: ...

She pinched her nose and muttered, "No way, are you so scared? I haven't even started the interrogation yet, why are you frightened to the point of peeing?"

“I…I…I…”

The thief kept saying "I" for a long time but couldn't make any clear explanation, and his whole body couldn't help shaking.

Lu Mingfeng thought Su Yunyao would be scared when she saw that man, but unexpectedly, he saw a desire for knowledge in her eyes.

She looked intently at the direction the dying man left, and patted him from behind. "What's wrong with him? What did he do wrong? Why was he beaten like this? It looks quite exciting."

Lu Mingfeng: ...

The corners of his lips were straight and he didn't say anything.

Su Yunyao suddenly realized that she had just wanted to pat his arm, but accidentally patted his face.

Actually, it’s not her fault.

The chair for the interrogation was placed on a high platform.

And at this moment, he was sitting next to her, one position lower than her, so he slapped her in the face...

Su Yunyao retracted her fingertips awkwardly and coughed dryly, "I think the person just now did a good job of interrogating."

Lu Mingfeng: ...

"Why not follow the interrogation process we used on that person just now and repeat it on him as well?"

Thief: ???

Damn it!

This woman looks so weak, how could she say such cruel words.

"I recruit, I recruit, I recruit everything."

Su Yunyao:?

"No, that's not what you said outside just now. You can't afford to play, right?"

"What do you care about me?" The thief said with all his might, "Anyway, I confessed, so you can't torture me."

Su Yunyao chuckled. "Who said you can't be tortured if you confess? Who knows if what you said is true or not? What if you're just making it up to avoid being tortured?"

Thief:!!!

Mao Zei cursed angrily, "You f**king bastard..."

Lu Mingfeng's eyes narrowed, and he raised his fingertips. A ruler on the table flew out and hit him squarely on the mouth.

The thief shivered in pain and couldn't even make a sound.

A strong smell of blood instantly spread from the corners of his lips, and two of his teeth were knocked out.

Su Yunyao was surprised and delighted, "Oh my god, you can also fight?"

Lu Mingfeng: ...

"This is so cool. How did you smash it? Teach me." Su Yunyao looked admiring.

Lu Mingfeng's gloomy expression remained unchanged. "If the princess wants to learn, it would be more appropriate for General Huo to teach her. General Huo's martial arts are the best in Daxia."

"What does this have to do with Huo Xiao? I just wanted to imitate that 'whoosh' move you just made."

Su Yunyao was puzzled, but when she thought of how he had used a petal to scratch the window and injured Shen Qiu Nian's neck in Tangquan Palace, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Huo Xiao's martial arts skills are indeed excellent."

Lu Mingfeng: ...

Lu Mingfeng stopped talking, but his eyes unconsciously fell on the hand that Su Yunyao had just held his, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Su Yunyao was not interested. "You keep saying you want to go to Shengjing Prefecture, so first tell me what your relationship is with the Shengjing Prefecture Governor."

A hint of panic flashed across the thief's eyes. He was wondering whether to reveal his true identity...

The guard walked in, "Mr. Lu, the prefect of Shengjing wants to see you."

Lu Mingfeng glanced at Su Yunyao and said, "Send it."

The Shengjing prefect walked in and was slightly stunned when he saw Su Yunyao sitting on the interrogation table.

He had originally folded his hands in front of his chest, intending to greet her, but instead he lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, "Your humble servant greets the Princess."

The... the eldest princess?

The thief's eyes trembled fiercely, and because he was missing two teeth, his words were a little stammering, "Second...Second Uncle, what...Princess? Isn't she the aunt...the grandmother of the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple?"

The prefect of Shengjing looked at him angrily and slapped him hard on the head.

"What aunt? That's the current emperor's biological sister, Princess Changle."

The color on the thief's face faded visibly, and he instantly became limp and powerless.

The prefect of Shengjing continued to bow and said, "Princess, Lord Lu, my nephew has suffered from a hidden illness since childhood, and his mental state is different from that of ordinary people. I offended the princess today because of his hidden illness. I hope the princess will forgive me!"
