Chapter 379 Interrogation
of the Young Eunuch This is about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The Emperor and Empress are very concerned about the results of the interrogation of the Suspension Mirror Department, which also doubles the pressure on the Director of the Suspension Mirror Department.
"No, no, no, ah, ah, ah..."
In the huge transparent glass fish tank, the giant piranha, about three meters long and almost two hundred kilograms, has been hungry for a long time.
The young eunuch was hung above the fish tank and screamed heartbreakingly: "No... Don't throw me down!"
"Bang!"
The rope hanging him was connected to an arm that looked like a machine. The person next to him broke the handle on the wall downwards, and the mechanical arm made a loud noise, and his body fell suddenly.
"Bla!"
The piranha jumped and opened its mouth ferociously. Every time it jumped, it was just a little bit away from biting his ankle and tearing him apart.
Although it was still a little bit away, when the young eunuch lowered his head and struggled, every time he saw the piranha's bloody mouth and the pitch-black throat, it seemed as if he would be buried in the fish's belly in the next moment.
This caused great pressure and harm to his psychology.
A slender figure walked out of the darkness. Jiang Xinyue knocked on the glass of the fish tank. The piranha swam violently in the water tank, and together with the beautiful woman, it formed a weird scene.
"Who told you to change the prince's food? Why don't you tell me?"
The little eunuch trembled: "I...I really don't know what the queen is talking about. It's not my fault."
"If it wasn't you, why did you want to kill Xiao Xiangzi?"
"I didn't. I thought he was a thief, so I just wanted to catch him."
"This explanation is reasonable."
Jiang Xinyue sneered: "But I don't believe it."
She raised her chin, and Xi Que pulled down with both hands. The wooden arm fell down a lot, and all the suspense officers dropped their jaws in shock.
The mechanical arm weighed more than 200 pounds, and it usually took three guards to break it together. Xi Que, a girl, pulled it down without any effort.
Magpie: It was not without effort. Normally, she could do it with one hand, but today she had to use two hands to pull it down.
"Bang!"
"Ahhhhhhhh..."
This time, the piranha bit the eunuch's toes. The huge tearing and biting force separated his toes from the soles of his feet in an instant.
The intense pain made him feel like dying, and his body was shaking.
However, just when everyone thought that the eunuch was going to confess, Jiang Xinyue said, "Let him down."
Although everyone in the Suspension Mirror Department didn't understand why they had to let him down, no one dared to disobey this scheming queen. They quickly moved the fish tank away and sealed it around with a mechanical iron fence.
The piranha, which had tasted the blood, became more and more irritable, and rushed around in the fish tank, but it was blocked by the black iron fence, and no matter how furious it was, it could not break the restriction.
The eunuch thought he had escaped, but just after being put down, before he had time to catch his breath, he heard the cold voice of the queen: "Hang it up again."
What?
The people in the suspension department thought they had heard it wrong, but when they saw Jiang Xinyue's cold eyes, they all honestly lifted the eunuch up and tied him to the mechanical arm.
"No, no, no, no! I don't want to... I don't want to go up..."
However, it was not his turn to refuse. After the mechanical arm slowly rose, the fish tank was pushed under the eunuch again.
The iron fence was opened again, and the pale-faced eunuch's toes were bleeding. The piranha opened its mouth wide and aimed at the eunuch, as if it could swallow him whole if the mechanical arm fell.
Jiang Xinyue winked at the magpie, and the magpie smiled evilly.
That smile made all the guards of the Suspension Department shudder.
This time, the mechanical wooden arm did not fall down quickly at once, but little by little...
It was like ten thousand ants crawling on his body. The sweat on the eunuch's chin flowed down his throat and into his clothes. His face was as pale as a water ghost.
The piranha swung its tail leisurely, making a "gentle" sound of splashing water.
"Click, click, click..."
The sound of the machinery and the sound of the splashing water intertwined, tormenting the eunuch's already collapsing mind.
People who have died once and been rescued, especially those who did not want to die in the first place, cannot face death again.
"Mr. Cheng! It was Mr. Cheng! I was planted in the Ministry of Internal Affairs by Mr. Cheng. I... am Mr. Cheng's man."
The eunuch cried, "I killed Xiao Shunzi. I deliberately made noise the night before to make him sleepless. The next day he was in low spirits. I set his clothes on fire and pushed him over the oil barrel before he noticed. I also deliberately created the illusion that he accidentally pushed over the oil barrel and caught fire. The open flame on his clothes ignited the oil barrel, and then I ran out to shout for help..."
But the fire spread quickly, and Xiao Shunzi was burned to death.
If Xiao Xiangzi and Jiang Chuan hadn't gone there, Xiao Shunzi would have become the scapegoat for swapping walnut oil and committing suicide out of fear of crime.
It was also quite clever, but it was a pity that the person he met was Jiang Xinyue, a master who could predict their predictions.
"Only Noble Cheng?"
Noble Cheng's father had a low position and was demoted. He could not instruct the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to change all the walnut oil, which was obviously not something that one person could do.
He must have an accomplice.
This accomplice might not be Noble Cheng's man, but someone who used Noble Cheng to harm Xiaotuanzi.
"If the Empress does not believe it, you can go and see. Noble Cheng is gone."
If he was not afraid of not being able to make up his mind because he could not find Noble Cheng, he would not have taken such a risk and burned down the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Soon, someone from the Suspense Department went to investigate, and soon came back to report: "Replying to the Queen Mother, Mr. Cheng is indeed missing."
And because yesterday was the first birthday banquet of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, not only was there a grand ceremony of crowning the Queen and the Crown Prince, but there was also the Grasping the One-Year-Old Ceremony that was watched by thousands of people.
Many eunuchs and maids from various palaces sneaked in to watch the excitement.
Although the palace rules openly forbid it, privately it was a happy event, and no one would say anything if they joined in the excitement.
Therefore, no one saw where Noble Cheng went.
Where could she go?
"Go and find her for me. I want to see her alive or dead."
Why did the Queen say "I want to see her dead"?
Could it be that Noble Cheng is already dead?
The director of the Suspense Department thought of more than ten plots in an instant. The most reliable one was that Noble Cheng was murdered to silence him.
The Queen was really smart and could guess everything.
This sentence was to remind the Suspense Department that Noble Cheng was just a chess piece, and there was someone behind her.
"Wow!"
A huge splash of water splashed out of the fish tank. The piranhas had been waiting for their food for too long and were impatient.
