In a restaurant not far away, Dugu Qingluo watched this scene silently.
Seeing someone in the crowd looking around with a strange expression, I immediately noticed something was wrong.
Ming Yichu cast three yellow talismans, and the three men with shifty eyes immediately froze in place.
The female official who received Dugu Qingluo's signal led people to capture the three people and took them away without any movement.
After dealing with the old princess and others, Empress Dugu felt tired and returned to the palace.
The executioner ordered the executioner to take the heads of the old princess and others away, as they would be of great use.
Gradually the people dispersed.
In the prison, three captured men were tied to pillars.
"Please spare my life, sir! I didn't do anything!"
"I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child to support. Sir, please let me go."
"Wow, wow, wow... The great official is going to kill someone for no reason!"
The three of them screamed in horror, looking at the cold dungeon and Dugu Qingluo and others.
The portrayal of ordinary people being sent to prison is vivid and incisive.
The female official stepped forward and said coldly, "Shut up!"
"Why did you run away when the prisoner was being executed just now? Were you running to spread the news?"
There was a flash of panic in the eyes of the three people, and they cried out that they were wronged.
"Sir, it's unfair! It's really unfair!"
"I just want to go home to collect the clothes and make lunch for my mother. What else would I do if I didn't go home?"
"Sir, I have a stomachache and just want to go home to the bathroom."
The three of them started explaining their reasons.
The female official, however, found a flaw in this and sneered, "You said you were going home to collect clothes, but it's noon now, the sky is clear, what kind of clothes are you going to collect?"
"Stomach pain is usually acute and needs to be treated immediately. But after all this time, you haven't defecated yet?"
The three of them became visibly panicked again.
The female official continued, "I don't like to use my power to oppress others. Since you claim you are innocent, please report your names and addresses, and someone will investigate."
"But if you are telling lies, you know the methods used in the prison."
"There are plenty of ways to make you speak."
The three of them shuddered, looked at each other, and reported the specific information.
The deputy took the information and went to verify it.
Dugu Qingluo listened to the female official's report and nodded.
At this time.
A female general in armor came over carrying a string of human heads and placed them on the ground.
"Your Highness, I have brought the prisoner's head."
"What are you going to do?"
The female general bowed and whispered.
The string of heads belonged to Old Lady Wang and others. Their hair was tied to wooden sticks, one next to the other, looking like grapes.
Dugu Qingluo smiled and said, "General Ping, just place these heads in front of those three people."
"Be careful not to damage it."
She also has to take the head to Dongli Kingdom.
General Ping was surprised and muttered in his heart that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess had a bit of a bad taste. He obediently placed a string of heads in front of the three people.
The three of them looked at five familiar faces, their eyes wide open, unable to close.
The broken neck was bloody red, and you could even see the bone marrow.
The three of them were being watched by more than a dozen pairs of eyes. They suddenly felt a chill rising from the top of their heads and were so scared that they peed their pants!
“Ah! Ah!”
"Take it away quickly, I'm almost scared to death."
"Sir, we are just ordinary people. We really don't know what you want to ask!"
The three screamed in horror.
General Ping was in a bad mood and shouted, "Why are you yelling? Have you never seen a human head?"
"If you keep yelling like that, I'll smash your head in!"
The three of them were so frightened that they stopped shouting immediately.
Dugu Qingluo gave General Ping some more instructions, and General Ping left the dungeon.
After waiting for half an hour, the deputy came back with his men.
"Your Highness, I have investigated the information provided. Mr. Wang's name is correct, and his address is correct, but his elderly mother is not home, and he has not found any clothes drying."
"The names of Zhang Sanyou and Wang Erma are true, and their addresses are correct."
"Also, I've discovered that these three people are from wealthy families, and their daily necessities are beyond the reach of ordinary people."
The deputy reported truthfully.
He also brought back some clothes made of good fabrics and some delicious dishes.
Ordinary people are reluctant to buy roast chicken and roast duck.
Considering the tattered and patched clothes the three people were wearing, it was extremely inconsistent with the image of their family.
Dugu Qingluo had a plan in mind and walked up to the three people. "Don't you really know these five people?"
"I already have evidence against you. Don't resist. The sooner you speak up, the less suffering you will suffer."
The three of them continued to shake their heads, their faces extremely pale. "Sir, what do you want me to say?"
"We really don't know anything. We are just ordinary, honest people."
The three begged for mercy.
Dugu Qingluo sat back on the tiger-head chair, full of patience.
She poured a cup of tea slowly and drank it, not at all disturbed by the faint stench of the dungeon.
Next it was the female official's turn.
The female official was Du Lan, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. The Dali Temple was sent by Dugu Qingluo to handle other criminal cases.
Du Lan is best at lobbying and torturing prisoners.
Explain with reason and move with emotion.
"Wang Da, you are the boss among you, right?"
"You saw what happened to those five spies. If you tell me about the mission assigned to you by the Dongli Kingdom, I can persuade Her Highness the Princess to spare your lives."
"Actually, there's no need to pretend. We knew there was something wrong with you the moment we arrested you."
Du Lan crossed his arms and tried to persuade the three people.
Show the benefits and the real side.
The three of them looked gloomy and cried again, "Sir, we don't know what Dongli Kingdom is. We were born and raised in Jialuo City."
"Sir, you're forcing me to death, and I don't even know it!"
Du Lan's face changed. Since entering the dungeon, these three people have been pretending to know nothing.
She clenched her fists, crackling them. "Are you serious? I'm not one of those delicate ladies from other countries. I have plenty of strength and means!"
She tore off her outer shirt, and her muscles bulged. The weak girl who was gentle and gentle just now suddenly became a muscular girl.
The three of them were so scared that they were shaking!
Dugu Qingluo couldn't help but smile. This Dali Temple Shaoqing was just like that. Countless prisoners had fallen into her hands.
"Sir, please calm down and calm down!"
Wang Da stepped back, but found that there was no way to retreat.
If he had known that Duguguo was so terrifying, he would never have come here.
Du Lan grabbed Wang Da's collar and lifted him up.
A fist struck, and the sound of the blow echoed in the quiet dungeon.
The soldiers, jailers and others all closed their eyes, getting used to it.
The Shaoqing of Dali Temple loves to play with contrasts.
Wang Da was beaten so hard that he screamed and blood flowed from his mouth and nose.
The other two were horrified and prayed silently in their hearts that it would not be their turn.
"I don't like this, but you are so disappointing."
"They have to pay the price of physical pain before they are willing to reveal useful information."
