The next morning, Yu Fu and Bai Ya's men were escorted to Jingyang Prefecture.
Yun Zheng directly ordered people to take them to the prison and let them visit the torture instruments in the prison first.
Only after the two men had finished viewing all the torture instruments did Shen Kuan and his men escort them to Yun Zheng.
Yu Fu buried his head tightly, his whole body shaking, obviously frightened by the torture instruments.
On the other hand, the people from Bai Ya were very tough. Not only did they not show any fear, they also looked at Yun Zheng fiercely.
"At this time, you still dare to show your teeth to me?"
Yun Zheng looked at Bai Ya's men coldly, and then ordered Shen Kuan: "This king doesn't like his eyes, so use some torture on him first to make him realize the situation!"
"yes!"
Shen Kuan immediately stepped forward and ordered the guards beside him: "Take him away!"
The two guards received the order and immediately took Bai Ya's men aside.
...
...
Yun Zheng was not in a hurry to interrogate Yu Fu, but just sat there quietly.
Yu Fu secretly glanced at the man with the white crow who was being put in torture instruments, but after just one glance, he buried his head again.
"ah……"
Soon, Yu Fu heard the man's shrill screams.
Although Yu Fu didn't dare to look up, just by listening to the man's screams, he knew that he was in great pain.
Yu Fu was already extremely frightened, and when he heard the shrill screams, his body trembled like a sieve, fearing that these tortures would be used on him as well.
Yun Zheng lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers, but he was secretly looking at Yu Fu out of the corner of his eye, feeling secretly confused.
Are spies so cowardly?
Shouldn't he have been prepared to face these tortures long ago?
Or does he think he's hiding well enough that he'll never be discovered?
“Ah…ah…”
The people of Bai Ya continued to let out heart-wrenching screams, which were even more miserable than before.
Yu Fu was so frightened that his legs went weak. If someone hadn't supported him, he would have fallen to the ground like a puddle of mud.
"Take what's in their mouths."
Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Yun Zheng raised his head and gave orders to the guards beside him.
The guards received the order and immediately took out the cloth stuffed in Yu Fu's mouth.
"Please spare my life, my Lord!"
As soon as the cloth in his mouth was taken away, Yu Fu wailed, shaking all over: "I have never thought of murdering the prince! I am just a messenger! Please have mercy on me, my prince! Please have mercy on me, my prince..."
Yu Fu kept wailing and begging for mercy, and Yun Zheng couldn't help frowning when he heard it.
Yu Fu is just a messenger?
Is there someone behind him?
"Who are you responsible for delivering the message to?"
Yun Zheng asked immediately.
"Ji... Lord Ji..."
Yu Fu answered with a twitchy tongue.
Ji Ran?
Yun Zheng's expression changed slightly.
The person Bai Ya really wants to contact is Ji Ran?
"Are you trying to sow discord?"
Yun Zheng looked at Yu Fu coldly and threatened: "It seems that if I don't use severe punishment on you, you won't confess honestly!"
As he spoke, Yun Zheng winked at the two guards.
The guards understood and immediately took Yu Fu away.
Yu Fu was so scared that he cried out: "I dare not lie to your majesty, it is really Master Ji Ran! Your majesty, please forgive me! Your majesty..."
"etc!"
Yun Zheng stopped the guards and looked at Yu Fu with a cold face: "What did Ji Ran tell you? You'd better tell the truth!"
“Yes, yes…”
Yu Furu was pardoned and immediately told everything.
Yu Fu has always been Ji Ran's man, mainly responsible for helping Ji Ran deal with some private accounts.
Later, Emperor Wen and his entourage went to Sifang County to buy a mansion for Yun Zheng as the royal palace for his and Jia Yao's wedding. They needed a housekeeper to help manage the affairs of the mansion, so they asked Ji Ran to arrange someone to go there.
Then, Ji Ran arranged for him to go there.
Ji Ran didn't ask him to murder Yun Zheng. He just told him to stay by Yun Zheng's side and work for Yun Zheng. When something needed doing, someone would contact him.
It was also because of this that Yun Zheng sent people to secretly monitor him for such a long time, but did not find any contact between him and any suspicious persons.
Until a few days ago, the man from Bai Ya found him and asked him to contact Ji Ran. He also told Ji Ran to find an opportunity to kill Yun Cang or Yun Jin and put the blame on Yun Li.
When he heard Bai Ya's people tell him this, he was also shocked.
He actually wanted to tell Yun Zheng about this at that time.
But he was also afraid that Yun Zheng would not let him go after he knew that he was Ji Ran's man.
While he was hesitating, the person who was secretly monitoring him suddenly rushed out.
As a result, both of them were captured alive.
After hearing Yu Fu's words, Yun Zheng's face became even colder.
OK!
In order to stir up a war between itself and the imperial court, the mouse really did everything it could!
He actually wanted to attack his own children!
It seems that the mouse has really been forced into a desperate situation!
He didn't even think about how his own children could be easily assassinated?
"Push it down!"
Yun Zheng waved his hand and ordered the guards with a stern face: "Let Chen Kuan slowly interrogate the other man and make sure he is clear for this king!"
After saying that, Yun Zheng quickly walked out of the prison.
After coming outside, Yun Zheng went straight to the study.
He did not start writing immediately, but sat there thinking.
Yuzhou is in chaos, and that rat is about to stir up trouble again.
He must put some pressure on Xiqu!
The pressure from Xing'anbao may not be enough!
He was somewhat unwilling to use Gundazan!
He also wants to get more benefits from Xiqu through Gundazan!
In this case, the only thing left is for those "bandits" to become more rampant!
After thinking carefully for a while, Yun Zheng finally started writing.
It took him almost a quarter of an hour to finish writing a letter.
After staring at the letter several times, he took out his seal and stamped it with a helpless look on his face.
Afterwards, Yun Zheng ordered someone to call Li Cheng and ordered in a deep voice: "Rush to Yufeng City as quickly as possible and hand over this warrant to Dugu Ce! Also, order Wei Shuang to secretly arrest Ji Ran immediately and have someone secretly escort Ji Ran to Jingyang Prefecture without attracting anyone else's attention!"
"yes!"
Li Cheng immediately took the order and left.
Yun Zheng took a few deep breaths, adjusted his mood a little, and then went to find Miaoyin.
When he came over, Miaoyin was chatting with Mingyue.
"Has the trial concluded?"
Seeing Yun Zheng, Miaoyin asked hurriedly.
Yun Zheng nodded gently: "Ji Ran!"
Ji Ran?
Miaoyin's eyelids twitched.
Is it still related to Ji Ran?
Fortunately, they had previously thought that Yun Zheng was too suspicious and still did not fully trust Ji Ran after such a long time.
Unexpectedly, Ji Ran was actually the rat's man.
"Have you found out who is behind them?"
Mingyue asked again.
"No."
Yun Zheng shook his head. "Yu Fu is Ji Ran's man, and Ji Ran is the rat's man! Bai Ya is probably just responsible for delivering messages, and he probably doesn't know the rat's identity!"
Now he just hoped that Ji Ran knew the identity of the rat.
Even if he can't fight his way back to the imperial city now, as long as he knows the identity of the rat, things will be much easier later!
