【Chapter 024】Interrogation of Qi Mu
Xiao Shun, who was standing by, was so angry that he almost exploded. Without waiting for Ye Yisheng to speak, he pointed at Qi Mu and cursed, "Qi Mu, who gave you the confidence to say that you want the young master to provide you with good food and drink?"
"You are so capable, why don't you go to heaven!"
"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself to see if you are worthy enough?"
"The head of the family shouldn't have been so kind as to take you in. He should have let you and your sister starve to death on the streets."
"You are worse than a beast for backstabbing my master!"
"He's a heartless person."
"Shameless ungrateful bastard!"
Although what Xiaoshun said was true, Qi Mu was still so angry that his eyes turned red. He never knew that Xiaoshun had such a vicious tongue.
He retorted unconvincedly: "The Ye Mansion is so rich, with more silver than can be spent. There are countless beggars who give alms, so why do you want me to sell myself into the mansion as a slave?"
Xiao Shun spat, "Bah, stop talking nonsense and confusing right and wrong. I was there at the time, and the master never mentioned letting you enter the Ye Mansion as a slave. It was you who begged to enter the Ye Mansion as a slave. The second young master took you in because he felt sorry for you."
Qi Mu snorted coldly: "Fake kindness! If you really feel sorry for me, why don't you give me some more silver?"
Xiao Shun looked at him with disdain: "Who do you think you are? Why should the master give you more money? Is it because you are shameless or because you are shameless?"
Unable to convince Xiaoshun, Qi Mu ignored him. Anyway, he has chips in his hand and is not on the same level as Xiaoshun.
Compared to Xiaoshun's excitement, his master Ye Yishen was much calmer. From beginning to end, his expression never changed, he just looked at Qi Mu quietly.
Qi Mu felt uneasy when he was looked at.
Among the several masters of the Ye Mansion, although Ye Yisheng is frail and sickly, all the servants in the mansion are most afraid of the eldest master Ye Yisheng.
The head of the family is kind and gentle.
The second young master is straightforward.
The lady is naive.
The eldest young master is very scheming and cruel. His eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and none of the servants in the mansion dared to fool him. If it weren't for his poor health and the fact that he would occasionally fall asleep for a day or two, the second wife would never be able to take advantage of the first wife.
After calming himself down, Qi Museling Nei Ran said, "Master, you'd better accept my suggestion, otherwise the Second Master will be unconscious like the Patriarch."
A strange color flashed across Ye Yisheng's calm eyes.
Seeing that Ye Yisheng still didn't speak, Qi Mu continued: "You may not know that if the second young master is in a coma for half a year, he will never wake up again in his life."
Qi Mu looked fearless.
Ye Yisheng suddenly said: "Qi Mu, you seem to know a lot about Gu worms?"
"Of course, my master is——"
Qi Mu's voice suddenly stopped.
How could he be so quick to say something he shouldn't have?
"Qi Mu, who instructed you to put a curse on Yun Cheng?" Ye Yisheng asked.
Qi Mu didn't say anything.
If he hadn't left that unfinished sentence unsaid, he would have insisted that no one had instructed him to do so. But his denial now is obviously an attempt to cover up the truth.
The more he spoke, the more mistakes he made. He really didn't dare to say another word.
Especially in front of Ye Yisheng.
He didn't reveal a single word about how the guards had tortured him before. But Ye Yishen only asked one question and he revealed that he had a master behind him.
Qi Mu's fear of Ye Yishen increased even more.
"Master, do you want to use torture?" asked the leading guard eagerly.
He has been following Ye Yishen since he was a child, when Ye Yishen started dealing with traitors. I have some understanding of Ye Yishen's style of doing things. As long as you are faithful, you will be rewarded from time to time.
Ye Yisheng glanced at the torture instruments hanging on the wall of the confinement room and asked, "What kind of torture instruments can save his life and make him realize that he has done something wrong?"
The head guard suggested: "Why don't we try pulling out the nails first. The pleasure of having ten fingers connected to the heart might make Qi Mu wake up. If pulling out the nails doesn't make Qi Mu realize his mistake, we can try other torture instruments."
Anyone who is sent to the confinement room will be whipped first. Wait until Ye Yishen arrives, then use other tortures.
The guards all hated Qimu, the ungrateful man who had plotted to harm his master. When he was brought in yesterday, several guards took turns to entertain him.
When he heard about pulling out nails, Qi Mu instantly felt a dull pain in his fingers.
He threatened: "Ye Yisheng, if you dare to let them pull out my nails, I will kill Ye Yuncheng immediately."
Ye Yishen narrowed his eyes, and a flash of murderous intent flashed across his eyes.
"In addition to having a younger brother, I also have a younger sister. And you only have a younger sister. Everything you do is because of your sister, right?"
Although it was a question, Ye Yisheng said it with certainty.
Qi Mu disagreed and said, "My sister died of illness half a year ago."
The implication is that he has no weaknesses.
Ye Yisheng smiled. While observing Qi Mu's expression, he said, "So you switched sides half a year ago and even arranged for your sister to fake her death."
Qi Mu's pupils suddenly contracted.
Pretending to be calm, he said, "Ye Yisheng, I didn't expect you to make up stories about even the dead."
Ye Yisheng sneered: "Arrangement! No, more than arrangement. If anyone really offends me, I will even dig up his ancestral grave."
Beads of sweat oozed from Qi Mu's forehead. Others might not do such an immoral thing as digging up people's ancestral graves, but since Ye Yishen said it, he would definitely do it.
What should he do now?
His sister's grave was an empty grave.
As long as Ye Yisheng asks people to dig, the secret will be revealed.
Ye Yisheng's voice was extremely cold: "Qi Mu, I will give you two choices now. One, remove the poisonous insect from Yun Cheng's body, leave one hand behind, and leave the Ye Mansion. Two, I will ask someone to find your sister and let her experience the feeling of being controlled by someone after being poisoned."
Qi Mu didn't expect that Ye Yisheng had already confirmed that his sister was still alive before he even asked anyone to dig the grave. He is trapped here now and can't contact anyone, what should he do?
In a fit of rage, he blurted out, "My sister is innocent, come at me if you have any tricks."
This statement was undoubtedly an acknowledgement that his sister was still alive.
Therefore, as soon as he said this, Qi Mu regretted it.
Ye Yisheng sneered: "Don't tell me your sister is innocent. You cast a spell on Yun Cheng and controlled Yun Cheng, but your sister is the beneficiary. If she is the beneficiary, how can she be innocent?"
"I'll give you three days to think about it."
The guards had great admiration for Ye Yishen and they captured Qi Mu in just a few words.
Everything Qi Mu did was ordered by his master, he was a man without his own opinion. At this moment, he was threatened by Ye Yishen and was in a state of panic.
Ye Yisheng ordered: "Take him away first."
Immediately, two guards dragged Qi Mu away.
Ye Yisheng rubbed his brows, thinking about what to do next.
Now, it seems that Saiki's sister can be used as a hostage, but in fact, she is a trouble. If the people behind Qi Mu knew that Qi Mu was arrested, they would most likely kill Qi Mu's sister and then put the blame on him.
We must not let anyone know about the search for Qi Mu’s sister, and we must find her as soon as possible.
After thinking for a while, Ye Yishen waved to the leading security guard.
The leading guard took a few steps forward.
"What do you want, young master?"
Ye Yisheng asked the head guard to come closer and whispered in his ear: "Find two strangers to guard Qi Mu, and then..."
The leader's eyes lit up as he listened. After listening, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Master, that's great. I'll arrange it right away."
"Go ahead!"
After returning to Yiran Residence, Ye Yishen went straight to the room where Nangong Chenyu lived.
"Young Master." Xiao Liu, who was guarding the door, called respectfully.
Ye Yisheng nodded slightly, and seeing that the door was closed, he asked in confusion: "Are the eldest and second young masters Nangong in the room?"
Xiao Liu replied, "Only the son-in-law is in the room. Young Master Nangong left the Ye Mansion half a quarter of an hour ago. Before he left, Young Master Nangong asked me to tell you that he had to go back to the Nangong Mansion for something urgent and would visit you another day."
Ye Yisheng was silent. It seemed that the plan to let Young Master Nangong go back would have to be shelved.
"What is Nangong the Second Young Master doing?"
Xiaoliu: "Uncle is sleeping."
Ye Yisheng: “…”
Sleeping during the day and sleeping at night, how can a person be so sleepy?
Don't understand, but respect.
Ye Yishen turned and went to the study.
Half an hour later.
A young girl and two maids came to Yiranju in a hurry.
Seeing the guard and Xiaoshun standing at the door of the study, the girl stepped forward and asked, "Xiaoshun, is my brother in there?"
The girl was Ye Yixin.
Xiao Shun stood in the doorway and answered politely and respectfully, "Yes."
Ye Yixin raised her head and said, "Get out of the way. I have something to talk to my brother about."
"Miss, please wait a moment. I will go and report first." Xiao Shun said, turned and went into the study.
Ye Yixin wanted to go in with them, but was stopped by the security guards. One of the guards said coldly, "No one is allowed to enter or leave the study without the permission of the eldest young master."
Ye Yixin stomped her feet in anger, but did not dare to force her way in.
In the study.
Ye Yisheng is checking the accounts.
After he finished reading an account book, Xiao Shun spoke up: "Master, the young lady is here."
Ye Yisheng picked up another account book and instructed without raising his head: "Tell Xiaoxin that if she comes here to talk about the matter of the mansion, forget about it for the time being. By the way, tell Xiaoxin about the matter of the second young master."
The implication is that we don't see each other.
"Yes, I know what to do."
Xiao Shun walked out of the study, repeated Ye Yishen's words, and told Ye Yixin about Ye Yuncheng's poison.
Ye Yixin, who originally wanted to leave the house, heard that her second brother was poisoned by a Gu, and hurried to Yunqiyuan where Ye Yuncheng lived.
When Nangong Chenyu opened the door, he saw a young girl and two maids walking towards the gate of Yiran Residence.
When Xiaoliu saw Nangong Chenyu, he was just surprised. Normally, Nangong Chenyu would not get up until meal time, but today he only slept for half an hour.
"Uncle, are you awake?"
Nangong Chenyu said "hmm" and walked out of the room. As I walked, I saw a stone table. He sat down at the stone table and looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle.
He had a melancholy look on his face and sighed from time to time.
"Alas~"
Xiaoliu: “???”
He looked up at the sky like Nangong Chenyu.
There were only a few white clouds floating in the blue sky.
He doesn't understand, what's so good about this?
