Chapter 81: That account book is in your hands, right?
Heifeng thought he was careful enough, but on the way back to his residence, he was ambushed before he could even fight back.
Early the next morning, Ji Yunshu was quite surprised when he learned from Chao Qing that the person had been caught.
"Isn't he a top expert from the Hell Palace? How could he be caught so easily?"
Jingzhe said: "He is indeed a master, but not the best. Moreover, we can take advantage of him when he is least prepared."
Ji Yunshu turned to look at him: "Could it be that you went there in person?"
Jingzhe nodded: "We don't have many people we can use right now."
Ji Yunshu instantly looked at Jingzhe with admiration. She had always known that this man's kung fu was very powerful, but she had never expected him to be so powerful.
Thinking of Zhao Shen, who was currently in an unknown state, he couldn't help but say, "You should have followed him."
Jingzhe certainly wanted to follow Zhao Shen, but it would be fine if the prince was fake, but if all of them were fake, it would be difficult to deal with if something happened.
However, he could hear the worry in Ji Yunshu's words, and whispered, "Madam, don't worry. The people following the prince are no worse than me in martial arts."
Ji Yunshu nodded. There was no point in worrying now. She might as well focus on her own business.
"Did you find out anything?"
A killer of this level shouldn't be easy to deal with.
As soon as the question came out of his mouth, Jingzhe's face fell. "I tried many methods, but I couldn't get anything out of him. I almost made him commit suicide."
Ji Yunshu thought for a moment and asked, "Where is the person being held?"
Jingzhe looked at Chaoqing hesitantly without saying anything.
Chao Qing also frowned: "People who have been tortured look a bit ugly."
It's more than just ugly. They used almost every method to force a confession. The man is now covered in blood. The lady would probably have nightmares if she saw it.
Ji Yunshu knew what they were thinking at a glance and said unhappily, "I've seen Shen Qin torture people before at the manor before, so why would he be frightened? And if you can't get the answer, are you going to keep dragging it out like this?"
Once this person's disappearance is discovered, who knows how those people will react?
They don't have that much time.
So it’s better to cut the Gordian knot.
Chao Qing remembered the prince's instructions and finally nodded.
It was also the first time that Ji Yunshu knew that there was a dungeon under Qionghua Courtyard.
She followed Jingzhe into the secret room of Zhao Shen's study, and saw him reach out and press one of the bricks, and a door appeared on the wall that seemed to be tightly closed.
Behind the door was a long passage. After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, a staircase leading downwards appeared in front of me.
Below is the dungeon.
Jingzhe lit an oil lamp, and Ji Yunshu saw that the room inside was unexpectedly spacious.
The man was locked in a cell, curled up in blood, looking as if he had no strength left in his body.
Jingzhe explained, "This man has been desperate for death since he was captured. We had to give him a muscle softening powder. Now he doesn't even have the strength to move."
Ji Yunshu expressed his understanding. Although biting the tongue to commit suicide was not very reliable, if the tongue was really bitten, one would not be able to speak.
She said to Jingzhe, "Go out first. I'll talk to him."
Jingzhe didn't understand what she had to say to a killer?
Seeing his worried look, Ji Yunshu said with a smile, "Didn't you say he can't even move now? What's there to worry about?"
Jingzhe thought about it and said: "Then Madam, if you have anything, just call me."
Having said that, he walked out.
The person in the cell had opened his eyes when they entered.
At this moment, there was anger and resentment in his eyes when he looked at Ji Yunshu.
Ji Yunshu moved a small stool not far away and sat down in front of the cell door. He looked at him for a moment before tilting his head and said, "Are you really not going to say anything?"
Heifeng never expected that the slap in the face would come so quickly. Although Qin Fengwei had emphasized that the matter of the Yama Palace was related to the son and wife of the Marquis of Changxing, he did not quite believe it in his heart.
One is a disabled person, and the other is a newly married young lady.
How could these two people have the ability to take down the headquarters of Yama Palace?
But now that he has fallen into the hands of the other party, how dare he not believe Qin Fengwei's judgment?
Seeing him staring at her, refusing to speak, Ji Yunshu continued, "You know you can't get out, right? You're going to die anyway, so what's wrong with saying something to make your death more enjoyable?"
Before, Heifeng really didn't know who had captured him, and he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, but since he saw Ji Yunshu, he knew that the other party would not let him go.
He mustered all his strength, but his voice was still weak: "Don't dream, I won't say anything."
Ji Yunshu was very puzzled: "Why?"
She was a little curious about how those people could make these killers remain loyal and never betray her even in death.
Hei Feng looked at Ji Yunshu as if he were an idiot and asked, "Why should I say that?"
Ji Yunshu said, "I told you that you can die more peacefully."
Her eyes swept over the torture instruments and she could see that some of them still had traces of blood on them.
"Even though you've suffered so much, you still grit your teeth and keep silent. Why is that?"
Ji Yunshu's voice was gentle, and seemed to have the power to bewitch people.
"No one knew you were alive, and your death was silent. No one really cared whether you lived or died, right?"
The King of Hell has existed for so many years, and countless killers like him have died. Who would remember them?
The people behind the scenes will at most feel sorry for the loss of these people, and will then train the next batch of people.
"You endured so much pain and refused to betray, but will the person you are loyal to shed a tear for your death? Will he even remember who you are?"
Heifeng didn't know what he was thinking about when he heard her light voice, and his expression became a little dazed.
Before he was picked up and trained to be a killer, he was a beggar without parents.
Before that, his only wish was to have food to eat every day.
After that, he just hoped every day that he could survive.
But what can you do if you survive? Kill people?
At first he was indeed grateful to those people for letting him not go hungry anymore, but being a killer was not that easy.
Not only do they have to kill each other during training, but they also have to kill all kinds of people.
Once he accepts a mission, he will take action regardless of the age, the weak, women or children.
And now, it was finally his turn.
Heifeng suddenly lost interest: "What do you want to know?"
Ji Yunshu didn't expect that he could be persuaded so easily, so he asked cautiously, "Who is your master behind this?"
For some reason, tears welled up in Heifeng's eyes. He laughed and said, "Do you think someone like me, who would be ignored even if I died, would know who truly matters?"
Ji Yunshu was not surprised: "Then tell me what you know?"
Hei Feng was silent for a moment before speaking again, "Over the years, I've mostly just been ordered to kill people. I have no idea who they were or why they were killed. This time, it was because the Yama Palace's headquarters was taken down that I was entrusted with this important task, bringing the account to the capital."
Having said that, he raised his head with great effort to glance at Ji Yunshu: "That account book is in your hands, right?"
