Ni Yueshan knew clearly that Shao Lecheng would only target poor families when committing crimes, but the other party, knowing Shao Lecheng's crime habits and methods, still chose Tian Qinan. Why?
He just wants to use Tian Qinan's family background to sentence Shao Lecheng to death, right?
Ni Yueshan felt that this person was not an ordinary person. As for who he was, it would take some time to investigate.
The two got off the carriage and walked inside.
At this time, the woman was sitting in the courtyard, washing clothes. She saw two people in gorgeous clothes walking in. She looked up and a flash of surprise in her eyes, and then turned into a serious look.
Ni Yueshan stepped forward and said, "Hello, we are from the Prince's Mansion. We are here regarding Mr. Shao's case."
After hearing what Ni Yueshan said, the girl looked defensive: "Sorry, I don't want to discuss this with you."
She stood up, wiped the water off her clothes, and gestured for him to leave.
Ni Yueshan was not surprised. Since these people were willing to give false testimony, they would naturally not tell the truth easily.
Ni Yueshan was not in a hurry and just said to Duan Gouqiong: "Close the door!"
The gate of the mud courtyard outside was open when they came in. Ni Yueshan asked Duan Gouqiong to close the gate. What was he planning to do?
Bad intentions?
The girl's expression changed, and she immediately asked, "You, what do you want to do?"
Ni Yueshan chuckled: "I don't have any plans, I just want to talk to you alone."
Ni Yueshan's expression was sharp and his eyes were cold, but he was not polite at all because the other party was a weak little girl.
The girl swallowed her saliva and then shouted to the outside: "Someone come, someone is going to kill someone! Killing someone!"
Ni Yueshan's expression immediately changed, and he shouted to Gao Yang: "Qingfeng!"
Qingfeng, who was following her like a shadow, immediately flew over and landed in front of the woman. He pressed an acupoint on her, and the woman, who had been shouting, suddenly stopped making any sound.
Ni Yueshan looked at her with a cold, sharp gaze: "Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit!"
Ni Yueshan was full of coldness, and when his eyes fell on her, there was a strong sense of oppression. The woman had beads of sweat on her forehead. She couldn't speak and could only step back in fear.
Ni Yueshan suggested: "Take the person away!"
Ni Yueshan tried to visit several farmers' homes, but no one cooperated and they all refused to talk.
Ni Yueshan had limited patience and didn't want to waste time talking to everyone, so he had to let Qingfeng knock them out one by one and take them away, putting them in the same place for interrogation.
By the time everything was done, it was already evening.
Inside the prison cell of the Crown Prince's Mansion, five young girls were being held. When they woke up and found themselves trapped, they immediately stood up excitedly and shouted, "Why are you holding us captive?"
"Because you are ungrateful and have instead framed me, who else should we arrest if not you?"
Ni Yueshan sat on a chair, looking at Duan Gouqiong standing next to her, and warned, "If you find anyone among them you don't like, feel free to have them arrested and tortured. I, the Crown Princess, will bear all the consequences!"
Ni Yueshan gave the order promptly, so Duan Gouqiong naturally had no reason to be soft-hearted.
"Thank you, Princess!"
She walked forward happily, her eyes sweeping among the women, and then her gaze fell on a woman huddled in the corner.
"Catch her out! I'm going to beat her so hard her parents won't even recognize her!"
She stretched out her hand, and someone immediately handed her a whip. Duan Gouqiong walked towards the shivering woman step by step.
"Everyone who doesn't tell the truth today will never leave alive!"
In one sentence, he was so arrogant that everyone present shrank in fear.
Duan Gouqiong lashed out with a whip fiercely, hitting the girl's body. Immediately, a bright red mark appeared on the girl's arm. The girl screamed in pain and her pupils shrank sharply.
Duan Gouqiong questioned: "Whether to explain or not, who gave the order?"
The girl lay on the ground, shaking her head in fear: "No, it's nothing!"
Duan Gouqiong snorted lightly, not believing her at all, and lashed out with the whip again, using all his strength in his hand, causing her arm to hurt.
But apart from screaming, the woman was unwilling to reveal even a single word of the truth.
Ni Yueshan held his forehead, feeling a little headache.
Did she finally resort to torture to extract a confession?
"Wait a moment!"
Ni Yueshan spoke, causing Duan Gouqiong to be stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Capture their families!"
The expressions of the women present all changed, but Duan Gouqiong's eyes lit up: "Okay, then catch them all!"
