Chapter 229 Thieves

The cell was extremely crowded, damp, and mixed with various smells. The sour feeling seemed to make one's soul leave the body.

Jiang Zhi silently blocked her sense of smell, otherwise she would really ascend to heaven.

Jin Yu grabbed the iron door of the cell and shouted outside: "I am the second young master of the Jin family. Go to the Jin family to find my grandfather! How can you let me be locked up with these lowly people! I am not a murderer, let me out!"

He really couldn't stand this crowded and smelly cell!

Jiang Zhi glanced at Jin Yu over there. Sometimes there is a reason why some people are cannon fodder.

This Young Master Jin seems to be brainless.

"Shut up!" The soldier came over and slammed the cell door, saying coldly, "Whether he is the real murderer or not, my general will decide for himself!"

Jin Yu frowned and said, "When I get out, I will definitely not let you guys have a good time."

The soldier left without even looking at him.

'This sentence really sounds like brainless cannon fodder.'

Jiang Zhi thought silently in his heart.

Nan Yuzhou also looked at Jin Yu when he heard this. He didn't know what cannon fodder meant, but he agreed with the term "brainless".

Jin Yu also noticed Nan Yuzhou's gaze, but he just looked at Nan Yuzhou with disgust and then fell silent.

After a while, resounding footsteps were heard from inside the cell.

"General." The soldiers spoke respectfully.

Huo Lie walked to the front of the cell and glanced at everyone: "Let them come one by one."

After he said this, he turned and walked towards the interrogation room.

"Yes." The soldier responded.

People kept entering the interrogation room, screams kept coming from inside, and no one came out.

Jiang Zhi poked Nan Yuzhou: "Do you know this general? Is this the interrogation method of your Nanjin?"

"I don't know him." Nan Yuzhou shook his head and spread his hands. "After all, I don't come back here very often."

Even though the young man was leaning against the mottled and damp wall, his temperament was still lazy and natural, and his face was still handsome.

Jin Yu glanced at Nan Yuzhou and then looked away. Nan Yuzhou now has really changed a lot from when he was a child.

He has known Nan Yuzhou since childhood, but their relationship has always been bad. The person he likes likes Nan Yuzhou, so how could he have a good impression of Nan Yuzhou?

Nan Yuzhou used to be very well-behaved and his temperament was full of royal dignity, but now all of that is gone.

But he has clearly been abandoned, so why doesn't he care at all?

Jiang Zhi's gaze fell on a man in the corner. Obviously everyone's face changed slightly when they heard the screams coming from inside, but he did not.

The man was dressed just like everyone else, and he looked like he had some money, otherwise he wouldn't have appeared in a brothel where high costs were required.

He was of ordinary build and slightly fat. He was keenly aware of a line of sight. He turned his head quickly, but did not find the person who was looking at him.

Was it discovered by anyone?

"You, you, and you, three of you, come out!" The soldier pointed at Jiang Zhi, Nan Yuzhou, and the slightly fat man in green clothes.

Jiang Zhi was stunned for a moment, and after he reacted, he looked up. That was not an ordinary wall, but the material of the photo stone.

In other words, the sound coming from inside was deliberately meant for them to hear, and then to observe the changes in their facial expressions.

Under the cover of a crowded cell, the murderer might relax his vigilance and reveal his true nature.

A person who dares to steal treasures from the imperial tomb during the century-old imperial tomb worship period and under the heavy defense of the royal army is obviously a very conceited and confident person.

The screams during the interrogation were clearly full of loopholes and were obviously a deliberate means of scaring off the real murderer.

That's right, the murderer thought so too, thinking that this was a deliberate way to put pressure on him, and he saw through it as soon as he heard it! At this time, the murderer thought he had seen through the trap of the interrogation, so he was not afraid.

This is what happens when cleverness backfires.

But among those who reacted calmly, there was not only the real murderer, but also Jiang Zhi and Nan Yuzhou.

The three were taken to the place for interrogation and execution.

The man at the desk glanced at them with a cold and oppressive gaze. He spoke word by word in a cold voice: "Among the three of you, one is a real thief."

His eyes were always on their faces, not missing any changes on their faces.

"I know, he is the real thief." Jiang Zhi pointed at the slightly fat man.

The man was surprised and said, "I think you are the real thief. The wicked are the first to complain."

Nan Yuzhou touched his chin, looked at the slightly fat man, and nodded: "Anyway, neither of us is one, so you are the only one."

"Your Excellency, you are being unjustified. One of them must be the real thief, and the other must be his accomplice!" The man looked at Huo Lie.

Huo Lie had a thoughtful look on his face, and the next second an blasting talisman rushed towards him.

Huo Lie raised his hand to block it, but the thief pressed Nan Yuzhou's acupoints when he was caught off guard, and rushed out while grabbing Nan Yuzhou's collar.

"Catch him and kill him without mercy." Huo Lie rushed out quickly.

"Senior Brother!" Jiang Zhi also chased out.

The thief was obviously quite strong. Even though the prison was surrounded by monks, he still managed to fight his way out. However, he seemed to have suffered some injuries.

He also grabbed Nan Yu Zhou to help him block a lot of damage.

Originally, he wanted to take Nanyuzhou as a hostage, but Jinwei and his men were determined to capture him regardless of the hostage's life or death, so he could only use Nanyuzhou as a human shield.

Nan Yuzhou was forced to take several attacks, and instantly felt unwell.

After he broke through the acupoints pressed by the man, Nan Yuzhou grabbed the folding fan in his hand and attacked the man. The man's cultivation was obviously higher than his, and that was why he chose Nan Yuzhou, so he easily knocked the already injured Nan Yuzhou away with a palm.

Huo Lie flew directly past the Nanyu boat and chased the thieves.

Jiang Zhi, who was a step behind, quickly rushed over and caught Nan Yuzhou: "Senior Brother."

Many Jinwei also quickly rushed past them to chase the thief.

Nan Yuzhou stood up with Jiang Zhi's support, touched the blood at the corner of his mouth, and accidentally pulled the sword wound on his body, so he hissed in pain: "Hiss, it hurts."

"This is a healing pill." Jiang Zhi handed over the pill.

Nan Yuzhou sighed slightly and swallowed the pill, explaining: "In fact, Senior Brother deliberately pretended to be controlled by him."

Jiang Zhi naturally thought that he was doing it for the sake of face, and was about to say something to comfort him.

Nan Yuzhou raised the storage bag in his hand and said, "I haven't been to the imperial mausoleum for a long time except for the one time when I was a child. I don't know what the thief stole."
