Chapter 62 Do you think he is good?
Why is this cell so cold? And the atmosphere is even more terrifying than the Ministry of Justice Prison...
Su Xing looked around nervously and froze in place for a moment.
The torture instruments on the wall are creepy just by looking at them. How cruel would they be if they were used on humans?
Some of the torture instruments were still stained with blood, and against the backdrop of this gloomy environment, it looked like hell.
"What are you dawdling about?" Ye Linghan's scolding voice suddenly came from the front.
Su Xing was so frightened that he nearly ran away from home. He looked at Ye Linghan with a pale face and said "Ah?" in a daze.
Ye Linghan noticed Su Xing's expression, looked around, and instantly understood something.
"You're useless!" He turned back in disgust and continued walking forward, no longer paying attention to Su Xing.
Su Xing was very angry. Why did Ye Linghan scold him?
He was just a young man in his early twenties. Although he studied forensic medicine, a field that people shudder at, he had never seen such a scene.
But he didn't dare to refute, and could only follow Ye Linghan angrily.
But he soon forgot about being angry because he saw Xia Chengxun, whom he had always heard of but never seen.
Xia Chengxun looked very young, probably in his early forties, and looked very gentle, like a scholar.
This surprised Su Xing a little. He didn't expect that such a person would also rebel?
Next to Xia Chengxun stood a thin man dressed in black with a black scarf covering his face.
There was a murderous aura about the man, and it was obvious at first glance that he was not someone to be trifled with, especially his sharp eyes, which were like knives shining with a cold light, making people dare not look directly at him.
Su Xing knew that this person should be the Ying Er that Tianyi mentioned. Like Ying Yi, he was Ye Linghan's secret guard.
He didn’t know what other people’s secret guards were like, but Ye Linghan’s secret guards were as scary as his…
Just as Su Xing was distracted, Ye Linghan had already begun to interrogate him: "Did you say it on your own initiative, or did I force you to say it?"
Ye Linghan's tone when interrogating people is always casual, just like chatting, but anyone who hears it dare not regard it as chatting, because there is endless chill in that tone.
Xia Chengxun tried not to look too scared, but his shaking hands betrayed him.
He simply clenched his fists and pretended to be calm and said, "I don't understand, what does the Regent want me to say?"
Ye Linghan had little patience to begin with, and seeing Xia Chengxun pretending to be stupid, he directly ordered Ying Er next to him: "Do it."
Ying Er understood and immediately reached out his hand towards Xia Chengxun's neck.
Xia Chengxun's face suddenly changed, and he immediately took a step back, shouting fiercely and fearfully: "You can't kill me, you have no evidence!"
Mu Yuanhou had already left before Qin Xue arrived, so he dared to play dumb with Ye Linghan, but he didn't expect that Ye Linghan would not follow the routine at all.
"So what?" Ye Linghan smiled coldly, as if he had heard a joke.
Xia Chengxun was startled, then he seemed to remember something and said forcefully: "Don't forget, I am the Queen Mother's biological father. If you kill my Queen Mother and the Emperor, they will not let you off. You must give an explanation to the civil and military officials of the court."
"An explanation?" Ye Linghan raised his eyebrows slightly and said slowly: "Who should I explain to? Have you forgotten who has the final say in the Ye Kingdom?"
Hearing this, Xia Chengxun's face suddenly showed panic. He withdrew his gaze and rolled his eyes left and right.
Ye Linghan glanced at Ying Er casually, and Ying Er extended his hand again.
Xia Chengxun quickly covered his neck and put on a horrified expression: "Don't kill me, I said!"
But then he discussed with Ye Linghan: "If I tell you, can the Regent spare my life?"
Ye Linghan glanced at Xia Chengxun with a mocking look on his face. After a long while, he sneered and said, "That depends on whether what you say can satisfy this king..."
Xia Chengxun was shocked at first, then looked unwilling, but finally turned into deep helplessness.
Su Xing was shocked by this reversal, his eyes widened.
He knew Ye Linghan's interrogation routine. He didn't need to use torture, just scare the prisoner, and the prisoner would confess if he couldn't bear it...
Simple and crude, without any skill, but very useful.
However, this is all because Ye Linghan is notorious. Everyone knows how terrifying Ye Linghan is, so they would fall into his trap.
This further proves how scary Ye Linghan is.
It seemed that Ye Linghan had been very kind to him, and Su Xing couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
But on second thought, that’s not right, how could he think like that?
Could it be that I have been with Ye Linghan for too long and have developed Stockholm syndrome?
He actually felt that Ye Linghan was good to him?
Su Xing immediately shook his head to drive those terrible thoughts out of his mind, and stared at Xia Chengxun seriously.
Xia Chengxun took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, it was Marquis Mu Yuan who forced me to do it. He ordered people to arrest my son and said that if I didn't cooperate, he would make me extinct. I was confused for a moment, and then..."
Having said this, he actually started crying as if he had suffered a great injustice. His cries echoed throughout the cell, and with the echo, it was as if many people were crying at the same time, which made people feel creepy.
No one expected this to be the case, but it made more sense. After all, Xia Chengxun had no need to rebel.
"What is his plan?" Ye Linghan spoke again.
Xia Chengxun stopped crying, then said in cooperation: "Reporting to the Regent, Marquis Mu Yuan plans to secretly kill some important ministers in the court to make the court panic, and then unite with radical elements from other countries to provoke a war, and finally take advantage of your time to go to the war..."
Xia Chengxun didn't dare to say anything else, as he was afraid that Ye Linghan would get angry.
Su Xing was horrified when he heard this. Marquis Mu Yuan was so sinister that he could come up with such a vicious plan.
If a war breaks out, no one knows how many casualties it will cause. And all this is just for his dream of becoming an emperor?
Thinking of this, even Su Xing wished that Marquis Mu Yuan would die quickly.
However, fortunately, they knew Mu Yuanhou's plan, so they were able to avoid the outbreak of war. This was a blessing in disguise.
Otherwise, Ye Linghan would have to go to war...
Su Xing couldn't help but look at Ye Linghan, with a look of relief in his eyes.
"What else?" Ye Linghan's mood did not change at all because of Xia Chengxun's words, he was still as cold as ever.
Upon hearing this, Xia Chengxun immediately frowned and looked like he was deep in thought.
After a while, he shook his head firmly: "There is nothing else. Marquis Mu Yuan is very defensive and refuses to tell me too much."
Ye Linghan stared at Xia Chengxun for a moment, as if trying to determine whether what he said was true or false.
After a moment, he asked, "Have you considered the Queen Mother and the Emperor before doing this?"
This is also what Su Xing is most concerned about. Although Xia Chengxun was forced, it was a treason after all.
Regardless of success or failure, the Queen Mother and the Emperor will face difficulties. Doesn't Xia Chengxun care?
He quickly opened his eyes wide, as if that would help him hear more clearly.
