Chapter 2786: Don’t the people around you care about their lives?
His eyes were fixed on Nan Yan, and he said coldly, "You shouldn't ask me this."
“…”
"Your Royal Concubine knows better than anyone else."
The entire discipline room immediately became quiet.
Nan Yan glared at Jie Shi gloomily.
Now, all the officials in the court suspected that the assassination of the emperor was related to themselves, and this Jie Shi - could it be that he also guessed this, or in other words, he deliberately chose to assassinate in Li Mansion in order to create this situation, and said such words to mislead them?
Nan Yan sneered in her heart.
Although there are many people who suspect her now, the exceptions are that the people she arranged are controlling the situation, and it is not to the point where a small stone can move her.
only--
What would Ruan Hengzhou ask?
Thinking of this, Nan Yan looked at Ruan Hengzhou who was sitting in front of her again.
However, Ruan Hengzhou did not turn around to look at her immediately. He just sat there steadily, looking as unmoved as a mountain.
In fact, Ruan Hengzhou was also shocked when he heard Jie Shi's words just now. He almost subconsciously wanted to look back at the imperial concubine, but - he still held back.
He was no ordinary person as he could become the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. He knew very well that it was very common for people to make random remarks during the interrogation of prisoners.
Especially when it's such a big case.
Moreover, they were interrogating Jie Shi. No matter what Jie Shi said, as the presiding judges, they had to take the leading position.
It is obvious that Jie Shi has received rigorous training and wants to manipulate the interrogators when he is being interrogated.
Give an ambiguous clue to draw the judge's attention in a certain direction. In this way, the entire trial process and even the trial results will be completely controlled by the criminal.
Ruan Hengzhou saw through this at a glance.
Once their emotions and the direction of their actions are controlled by the prisoners, it is basically impossible to get the truth.
So, Ruan Hengzhou just frowned, his eyes still fixed on Jie Shi.
He said in a deep voice: "Now I am asking you."
“…”
"Jie Shi, you'd better be honest and tell us everything you know, so as to avoid physical pain."
Jie Shi's eyes flickered.
He originally wanted to use his ambiguous answer to control the other party and direct their attention to Nan Yan, but he didn't expect that he would be coldly rejected by the other party with just one sentence.
And it is obvious that the chief judge is the imperial concubine's man.
In this case, ordinary methods will not work.
Thinking of this, Jie Shi lowered his head and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This sneer added a touch of ferocity to his already blood-stained, distorted face. He sneered, "Physical pain?"
After saying that, he looked down at his broken arm.
Then he gritted his teeth, stared at Nan Yan and said, "Hasn't the Imperial Concubine already taken action?"
“…”
"If you continue to inflict physical pain on me, you will end up chopping off my head."
“…”
"Why don't you guys do it?"
Nan Yan's patience was running out bit by bit.
In fact, she had enough patience and calmness to deal with other people and other things, except when facing Jie Shi. The scene where he assassinated Zhu Feng in Li Mansion during the day and the sharp blade in his hand pierced Zhu Feng's chest was still like a piece of red-hot charcoal in Nan Yan's heart, tormenting her constantly.
So she immediately ordered her men to cut off his hand on the spot.
And now, Jie Shi seemed to be still stimulating her.
Thinking of this, Nan Yan's hands, which were originally placed on her knees, tightly grasped her clothes. The hot sweat and the blood oozing from the wound on her palm that had opened again instantly stained her clothes.
Zhu Chengxuan was standing by and felt a little uneasy seeing him like this.
Although he did not fully understand the purpose of this stone-breaking, everyone present could see that the stone-breaking had been provoking the imperial concubine.
If the imperial concubine is really stimulated——
So what?
The imperial concubine's rage only made him die faster, or die more miserably.
A loud "bang" sounded in the discipline room.
Ruan Hengzhou slammed the table hard, the sound echoing in the small discipline room, giving people a deafening feeling. He said in a deep voice: "Jie Shi, do you know that what you have committed is an unforgivable crime? If you don't confess the truth, don't blame us for being rude to you!"
"Ha ha ha ha."
Facing Ruan Hengzhou, Jie Shi burst into laughter.
He laughed and said, "You just can't do anything to me. I assassinated your emperor. I committed an unforgivable crime. But why did you only dare to chop off one of my hands instead of killing me directly? Because you need my confession. Without my confession——"
When he said this, he looked at Nan Yan coldly.
He said, "Your Imperial Concubine, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain yourself to the ministers or the people of Yan Country. Isn't that right?"
“…”
At this moment, the entire discipline room fell silent.
Ruan Hengzhou's brows also furrowed.
That’s right, at this time, they really needed his confession, so they couldn’t kill him.
Moreover, the imperial concubine had already cut off one of his hands, and he had lost too much blood. If she continued to torture him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to survive - or even if he was simply seeking death, and once he died, the imperial concubine's situation would be even more difficult.
Instead, they were controlled by him.
At this moment, a sinister voice sounded in the dark corner.
"Jie Shi, don't think I don't know what you're thinking."
When everyone heard that it was the imperial concubine who spoke, they all turned their heads hurriedly, only to see Nan Yan slowly standing up from the corner. She only took one step forward, and the firelight in front of her illuminated her eyes, while most of her body was still hidden in the darkness, giving people the feeling that she was a fierce evil spirit condensed in the night.
Especially her eyes.
Even Zhu Chengxuan felt a little frightened.
From childhood to adulthood, he had always seen the gentle and amiable Nan Yan, the gentle and amiable imperial concubine, but he never knew that she had such a side to her.
Nan Yan said coldly, "Everyone has only one life. When a person doesn't value his life, then others can't do anything to him."
Jie Shi laughed.
Indeed, that was his intention.
After assassinating the Emperor of Yan, he had no intention of returning alive. Now, seeing these people hating him so much but unable to do anything, it made him feel even more satisfied.
This life is worth it!
But just when Jie Shi was feeling proud, Nan Yan's cold voice sounded again, saying without a trace of emotion: "But, if you don't value your life, do the people around you also value their lives?"
“……!”
Jie Shi's smile froze on his face.
