Chapter 349 Is it his intention or the Bai family's intention?
After Zuo Jiali went out, he found Zuo Sixian waiting for him outside the prison.
"Brother," he said in a good mood. He took a few steps forward and looked at the rain curtain in the sky. "Why is the rain getting heavier? It's too cold."
He straightened his clothes and said, "Brother, won't my sister be cold in there? Do you want to add a brazier to the inquiry room?"
Zuo Sixian frowned helplessly, "You still don't give up?"
"Brother, although my sister rejected me this time, she asked me to come see her again tomorrow."
Zuo Jiali smiled and said, "I think there is hope. It's just a matter of time."
Zuo Sixian had a sullen face and said nothing, as if he was thinking about something.
"Brother, just leave this matter to me." Zuo Jiali shook Zuo Sixian's arm and begged him, "Brother, you like your sister too, right? If there were only the two of us at home, it would be too lonely..."
Obviously thinking of the death of Lou and Zuo Shanzhang, Zuo Jiali's eyes turned red again, "Brother, I really want my sister to come back."
"Okay, okay." Zuo Sixian was finally persuaded.
From childhood to adulthood, his only weakness was this younger brother. As for Zuo Shanzhang, he always knew that he was just a chess piece, and their mother Lou... Zuo Sixian also just treated her as a chess piece.
Only Zuo Jiali, Zuo Sixian's feelings for him have always been simple and pure.
Now, the only person he wants to protect is Zuo Jiali.
"It's getting late, you should go back first." Zuo Sixian waved his hand and asked the carriage to come over.
Zuo Jiali was slightly surprised, "Brother, aren't you going back with me?"
"Well, I have something else to do, you go back." Zuo Sixian watched Zuo Jiali get on the carriage, then turned around and went back to the prison.
He ordered the jailer, "I want to interrogate Bai Yu'an. Bring the prisoner to the interrogation room immediately."
"Yes, Sir Zuo!" The jailer received the order and immediately went to bring people.
The interrogation room and the inquiry room are on both sides of the entire prison, and the interrogation room is at the innermost and deepest part.
Zuo Sixian walked inside slowly.
When passing by the inquiry room, he asked You San to add a brazier in the inquiry room.
"Yes, Lord Zuo, I'll go right away." You Sanxi was overjoyed.
It was winter in the imperial city, and the prison was damp and cold. The interrogation room had the best environment, but it couldn't be compared to home.
You San has been worried. Little Tuanzi is so young and is most likely to get sick and have a fever. If he really gets sick in prison, it will be very troublesome.
I didn’t expect Zuo Sixian to take the initiative to offer to add a brazier for Xiaotuanzi. That was really great.
You San quickly found a brazier and set it up for Xiaotuanzi.
When he went in, the little guy was huddled in the quilt and shivering.
"Uncle Yousan?" She only showed her little head, her nose and cheeks red from the cold. "What are you doing?"
You San couldn't help but smile, "You are lucky, little dumpling. Lord Zuo asked me to add more braziers for you."
Soon, he lit the brazier, and the entire inquiry room felt warm instantly.
The little dumpling sniffed and looked like he was really going to be sick. "Are any of the others feeling sick too?"
You San was stunned for a moment, then said vaguely, "I'm not too sure about this. I'm only in charge of the inquiry room."
"Okay, it's much warmer." After confirming that everything was fine, he prepared to leave. "Then I'll go. You have a good rest."
Little Tuanzi crawled out from under the quilt and asked worriedly, "Uncle You San, will Zuo Sixian interrogate my brothers? Will he... torture them?"
"Little Dumpling, I don't know about this either. You should go to bed early." You San left quickly.
He just heard from a passing jailer that Bai Yu'an was about to be interrogated, and the only question was whether torture would be used... This was the Censorate, and as long as no one was killed, no one would care even if they crippled or injured him.
It can be said that no matter how high an official's rank, once he enters the Censorate, even if he is finally acquitted, he will not be able to return in one piece.
At this moment, You San could only pray silently for the Bai family.
At the same time, when Zuo Sixian arrived at the interrogation room, Bai Yu'an had already been tied to a wooden frame.
"Sir Zuo, the prisoner has been brought here." When the jailer saw someone coming, he immediately stepped forward and replied respectfully.
Zuo Sixian nodded, leaving only two trusted men behind and letting the other jailers leave.
In the interrogation room, in addition to the wooden frame for tying up the prisoners, there were also various torture instruments, some hanging on the wall, some placed in boxes, including swords, knives, axes and halberds.
In addition, there are tables and chairs prepared for interrogation officers.
Zuo Sixian sat down on the chair and looked at Bai Yu'an with cold eyes. "Second Young Master Bai, I have long heard of your great name. I have heard that you aspire to become the number one military doctor in the Jin Dynasty and to reduce the casualties on the battlefield by half with your own efforts."
He raised an eyebrow, "So in this battle against the Northern Barbarians, Second Young Master, do you think... did you achieve it?"
"During this battle against the Northern Barbarians, the Bai family army suffered at the hands of a lowly person, leading to the military doctors' omissions and even many people contracting the plague and dying. As a military doctor, I naturally dare not say how much credit I have contributed, but I did my best."
Although Bai Yu'an was tied to a wooden frame, he spoke neither arrogantly nor humbly, as if he was not facing an enemy of the Bai family, but an ordinary interrogator.
Zuo Sixian nodded in understanding. "As far as I know, many years ago, when your father was fighting against the Northern Barbarians, he made a serious mistake. It was like letting a wolf into the house, causing a fire and countless casualties."
Bai Yu'an frowned, "Lord Zuo also said that... it was indeed my father's mistake. When we completely defeated the Northern Barbarians and returned to the court, my father also apologized to the emperor."
He paused, "I think that matter is over."
"But I also got a piece of news," Zuo Sixian chuckled, "Your Bai family... is still adopting the murderer's child, right?"
Bai Yu'an's expression changed slightly. It seemed that Zuo Shanzhang had already told Zuo Sixian about You Zhu's matter.
He had a bad feeling that Zuo Sixian was going to make trouble for You Zhu. Now You Zhu was not only Huo Dai's son, but also the prince who was most likely to inherit the throne of the Barbarian King of Beiman...
"When my father brought Youzhu back, he was just a child who knew nothing. Even though he had half Northern Barbarian blood in his body, he still considered himself a Jin person."
Bai Yu'an thought of something and immediately said, "Lord Zuo should know that the Bai family army won the first battle this time. It was You Zhu who took the life of the Northern Barbarian commander. This is enough to prove that his heart is with the Great Jin."
"But he returned to the Northern Barbarians' royal family as a prince, didn't he?" Zuo Sixian frowned. "Is this...his own idea? Or is it your Bai family's idea?"
Bai Yu'an's expression changed slightly in an instant, "Master Zuo, what does this mean?"
"From what I understand, you've put in a lot of effort to get You Zhu back to the Northern Barbarian royal family," Zuo Sixian narrowed his eyes. "What's your purpose?"
