Chapter 158 I confess

It was June, but Jiang Shu felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, her body and mind were cold, and her pretty face was as pale as paper.

Yu Zheng led her out of the prison, and Jiang Shu gradually felt warmer as she bathed in the warm sun.

Knowing that she was in a bad mood, Yu Zheng took her to the living room to sit down and asked someone to serve hot tea.

Jiang Shu held the teacup in both hands and sipped it in small sips.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, she broke out in a thin layer of sweat, but felt extremely comfortable.

After waiting for about an hour, Sun Hechuan came back, and Lord He followed him tremblingly.

"Prince, Jiang Shao and his wife ran away." Sun Hechuan frowned heavily.

Yu Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and his voice was as cold as winter ice: "Escaped?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, this matter is my negligence." Lord He knelt down in fear and told the reason.

A few days ago, Jiang Shao and his wife went to Jiang's house to make trouble. Lord He gave them two days to bury Jiang Yun as Jiang Shu said.

But two days later, he sent people to Jiang's house to take them away, but found that the house was empty. After asking around, he learned that Jiang Shao sold the shop and the house and quietly left Shangjing.

Lord He immediately sent people to chase them after he learned about it, but Jiang Shao and his wife had been running for more than half a day, and no one knew where they went, so how could they be caught?

Although Lord He was furious afterwards, he thought that what Jiang Shao and his wife had done was not a big deal, and it was not worth spending manpower and resources to chase them, so he gave up.

But who would have thought that Sun Hechuan would also go to arrest someone today, saying that Jiang Shaohe had committed a serious crime.

Lord He then realized that he had made a serious mistake due to his negligence.

After hearing the whole story, Jiang Shu looked at the trembling Lord He, frowned and said: "Lord He is not to blame for this matter. I asked Lord He to give them two days, so that they had a chance to escape."

At that time, Jiang Shu didn't know what Jiang Shaohe had done, but for the sake of blood relationship, he let them go back to bury Jiang Yun.

Looking at Jiang Shu who was feeling guilty and heartbroken with dark eyes, Yu Zheng understood that she was kind and soft-hearted. She first gave Jiang Shaohe two days, and now she was afraid that he would punish Lord He.

How could he not understand her thoughts.

"Where is Jiang Shaohua?" Yu Zheng asked.

Sun Hechuan said, "He has also been selling his shop recently, but he is not as anxious as Jiang Shaohe. He was arrested and imprisoned because he fell behind."

Yu Zheng stood up, walked to Jiang Shu and said slowly, "If you don't want to go to prison again, wait for me here."

Jiang Shu shook her head, "I'll go."

She wanted to ask Jiang Shaohua in person why they wanted to kill her father when her father treated them so well.

The group went to the prison again, still in the previous interrogation room. The bandit was given painkillers and then tied to the execution pillar. Jiang Shaohua was tied next to him, and the two were not far apart.

The moment he saw the bandit, Jiang Shaohua widened his eyes in shock, his face full of disbelief.

"Aren't you far away in Qi County? How did you get caught and brought to Beijing?"

The bandit yawned and said, "I got into trouble with a tough guy. You have contributed to this."

After saying that, the bandit pointed his mouth in the direction of Jiang Shu.

The light in the prison was dim, and Jiang Shu was sitting behind Yu Zheng, so Jiang Shaohua didn't notice him. After receiving the bandit's signal, Jiang Shaohua saw Jiang Shu. Jiang Shaohua

's eyes suddenly became fierce, full of resentment.

Yu Zheng saw this and his dark eyes darkened, and ordered, "Punish him."

"Yes." The prison guard took the order and stepped forward with the whip that had been used to beat the bandit.

The bandit knew very well what the whip felt like, and watched the show with a happy face.

After two lashes, Jiang Shaohua grimaced in pain and said in a hurry: "I confess, I confess!"

"What do you confess? I didn't ask." Yu Zheng signaled the jailer to continue.

"Ah! Ah!" One lash after another, each lash broke the skin and blood came out, and the spicy oil on the whip penetrated into the broken flesh, making Jiang Shaohua tremble like a sieve.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you whatever you ask!" Jiang Shaohua looked at Yu Zheng pleadingly, hoping that he would ask quickly.

Yu Zheng tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers slowly, and said leisurely: "I'm not in a hurry, ask after 30 lashes."

At this rate, he would die of pain after 30 lashes, right?

Jiang Shaohua was terrified, and gritted his teeth and said in a hurry: "Jiang Shaohe and I bribed the bandits twice to murder Jiang Shaodong and Jiang Shu."

The whip did not stop, and continued to whip Jiang Shaohua.

After a scream, Jiang Shaohua said: "It was the bandit next to him. He was the one who received the money at that time."

The bandit was amused and said: "This is the first time I see someone so eager to confess. What a soft bone."

Jiang Shaohua was sweating profusely in pain. He had no time to deal with the bandit. He looked at Yu Zheng and begged for mercy .

Yu Zheng was unmoved and insisted on letting the prison guard whip him thirty times.

Jiang Shaohua, who loved leisure and hated work, could not resist, and his eyes rolled back and he passed out.

"Wake up." Sun Hechuan ordered.

After a bucket of ice water was poured down his throat, Jiang Shaohua was forced to wake up, gasping for air in pain.

He looked at Yu Zheng and said weakly, "I have already confessed, what else does Your Majesty want to ask?"

As long as he was not tortured again, he would confess anything .

He was going to die anyway, and he really didn't want to suffer any more.

"Where is Jiang Shaohe?" Yu Zheng asked coldly.

Jiang Shaohua was startled when he heard this, and hesitated to answer immediately.

Yu Zheng raised his hand, and the jailer approached him with two jars.

Sun Hechuan said, "There is honey in one jar. Apply it on the wound, and then put the ants in the other jar on it. Let them suck the honey and eat your flesh. It will eat away your heart and make you feel sick."

Seeing that the jailer had opened the jar, Jiang Shaohua's scalp was numb with fear, and he hurriedly said, "He didn't say where to go, just to go west."

The jailer closed the jar in disappointment, and Jiang Shaohua breathed a sigh of relief and panted heavily.

After Yu Zheng finished asking, he glanced at Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu understood, stood up and walked up to Jiang Shaohua and questioned: "Uncle, my father and you are even brothers and sisters, from the same mother, why do you want to harm him?"

"Humph, if he really regarded us as his closest brothers and sisters, he would not have been on guard against us for so many years and just gave us such small favors to get rid of us." Jiang Shaohua's face was full of resentment.

Facing Jiang Shu, Jiang Shaohua was fearless and his true nature was revealed.

Jiang Shu's breath was choked and he felt a blockage in his chest.

The income from ten shops was enough for their family to have no worries about food and clothing, but he said it was a small favor?

"At this point, you still don't regret your mistakes?" Jiang Shu's eyes were full of disappointment.

Jiang Shaohua said hatefully: "Of course I regret it. I regret that the person I found was unreliable, so that you and your daughter are still alive. I regret that I didn't take it seriously when the third brother notified me, and I ran too slowly and was caught by you."

People are greedy and never stop asking.

Jiang Shu turned around and left without asking any more questions.

Yu Zheng and others followed him out of the prison.

After they left, the bandit and Jiang Shaohua quarreled in prison.

"You are so useless." The bandit looked at Jiang Shaohua and sneered.

Jiang Shaohua was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. He glared at the bandit and said, "You took the money but didn't get the job done. You even betrayed your employer. You still dare to say I'm useless, you shameless villain. Bah!"

Jiang Shaohua was so angry that he spat at the bandit.

The bandit laughed when he heard this: "You have harmed your own brother and niece, and you still have the nerve to call me a shameless villain, bah."

After he finished speaking, the bandit spitted a bigger mouthful of saliva on Jiang Shaohua's face.

Jiang Shaohua was choked and speechless. He glared at the bandit who was laughing at him with his eyes wide open. He fainted without catching his breath.
