Chapter 437: Detailed Works
The assassin thought that was the end, but Ma Yiyang asked Zhu Qianyi to come forward and personally blindfold him.
The sound of "sizzling" came to his ears again, and Ma Yiyang was like a cold killing machine: "I will only ask you three questions, and you will only have three chances to survive. If you can't answer or refuse to answer, your colleagues will be your lesson."
The two assassins were together, so it's not wrong to say that they were colleagues.
"What's your name?"
"Sizzling-sizzling-sizzling-"
What...what?
The assassin hesitated for a moment, and the unbearable heat wave hit his face.
If he could see, he wouldn't be so scared. People are always twice as afraid of the unknown.
"Lin Bo! My name is Lin Bo!"
It's just a name, it doesn't matter, as assassins, no one uses real names, for fear of implicating their families.
The heat on his face disappeared, and Lin Bo breathed a sigh of relief, but Ma Yiyang didn't even give him a chance to think, and asked immediately: "Are you from the capital?"
Why ask this? Does this have anything to do with this case?
Lin Bo's face changed, and he tried to grit his teeth and not say anything.
"Zi-"
"Ahhhh..."
He hesitated for only a moment, and the branding iron had already been pressed hard on his chest.
It turned out that he couldn't scream out in extreme pain, but sticky saliva flowed out of his mouth, mixed with tears, making his head dizzy.
It was impossible to faint. The iron-faced and murderous Minister Ma would not allow it.
"Wow!"
A bucket of cold water splashed on Lin Bo's face, and he woke up.
Because he was awake, the pain in his chest became more intense, and he struggled violently on the human-shaped wooden stake.
"Kill me! I beg you to kill me!"
He had had enough, really had enough. He
had been arrested for three days, and he hadn't slept for three days. Ma Yiyang was not a human being. He interrogated them for three days and three nights. He
was not allowed to eat, and could only drink a little water or tasteless soup. He could not go to the toilet, and could only relieve himself in his pants. He could not close his eyes, as he would be whipped if he closed his eyes.
He had been keeping an eye on this pervert Ma Yiyang for three days without letting up for a moment.
"I'll ask you one last time, are you from the capital?"
"No... no... I'm not..."
He was afraid that Ma Yiyang was lying to him. In fact, he had known for a long time that he was not from the capital, but he asked this question on purpose. If he lied, he would burn him with the branding iron.
The key point was that the hot feeling had already hit him again, leaving him no time to think.
"The last question, you must answer it immediately, otherwise I can't guarantee which part of your body this thing will fall on."
The crotch of his pants was burned terribly. He was indeed a pervert, and he actually wanted to make a man become a eunuch.
But he didn't have time to curse him, Ma Yiyang had already approached with the branding iron. He thought anyway, he would just ask him if he was married. Do you have any family members?
Anyway, he is alone, so he is not afraid of his questions.
"Who ordered you to assassinate the Queen Mother?"
"Of course it was the most wise and powerful king of our Goguryeo..."
Wait!
What did he just say?
"So you are a spy of Goguryeo!"
Zhu Qianyi was so angry that his chest heaved up and down: "Goguryeo really has no good intentions. I didn't like their princess when she came."
Now there are spies from Goguryeo pretending to be their Zhu family to assassinate the Queen Mother. It's simply disgusting.
"Sir, the Queen Mother has sent someone. You are here..."
Ma Yiyang stuffed the branding iron into Zhu Qianyi's hand and said, "Don't let him die. The Emperor will have to judge him when he returns."
Zhu Qianyi snorted coldly, "Don't worry, he won't die."
Didn't he scold him so arrogantly just now?
He wanted to keep him to play with slowly, so how could he let him die so easily?
Concubine Jin in the palace was killed!
As soon as this news came out, people were talking about it again.
"According to the grapevine, it was the Queen Mother who killed Concubine Jin."
"Ah? Impossible! The Queen Mother was already the most important person in the harem. Why would she kill the princess of Goguryeo for no reason?"
"If the princess was favored, it would be understandable, but she is not favored. It's not worth it for the Queen Mother to do that
, right?" "This is something you don't know. Wasn't the emperor assassinated when he went to Dongshan some time ago? As a result, the assassin killed the wrong person. The dead one was the emperor's new favorite, named Qianqian. I'll scare you to death if I tell you that her face is fake. I heard that it was a human skin mask that Concubine Jin replaced for the new favorite. The Queen Mother was unhappy when she found out, so she took her anger out on Concubine Jin!"
"My friend, so you are well-informed?"
"Of course, my aunt is a female official in Qingyang Palace, she knows a lot!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, the runners of the Ministry of Justice slammed the table and stood up: "Lord Shangshu asked us to come here to arrest people like you who spread rumors. Come on, brothers, take them back and interrogate them to find out who is the mastermind behind the defamation of the Queen Mother?"
The people around who were hearing the excitement dispersed in a hurry: "What's going on? Why are the Ministry of Justice
here to arrest people?" Zhu Qianyi took off his private clothes, revealing the official uniform of the Ministry of Justice, and Yi Linran said: "These people are all spies of Goguryeo. In order to cause disputes between the two countries and have a reason to attack our Great Yan, they deliberately slandered the Queen Mother. Now the Ministry of Justice must catch these spies who are endangering and dividing our Great Yan. If the people of Great Yan provide useful clues, the government will give you generous rewards. Please open your eyes, contribute to the land you live on, and be careful for the prosperity of our Great Yan. Don't let those with ulterior motives succeed."
"Isn't this the responsibility of every citizen of Great Yan?"
Other runners from the Ministry of Justice pretended to be ordinary people and echoed loudly: "That's very well said. We can't let Goguryeo do the same as Fuso in the past and deliberately fabricate some non-existent things to start a war against us. We must open our eyes and see clearly whether the people hiding around us are our compatriots or enemies."
"Isn't it easy to tell? Those who say bad things about the Queen Mother and want to impose the death of Concubine Jin on the Queen Mother are very likely spies from Goguryeo. We just need to pay more attention to them."
The impassioned speech and the sober "common people" pushed the atmosphere to a climax in an instant.
The crowd was excited and shouted one by one: "We must find those spies. We can't let these small countries use us as guns and use the people of Dayan to deal with our Queen Mother of Dayan."
"Yes, I hate it most when people take advantage of me. I must catch them and send them to the Ministry of Justice to sit in jail. Let's see if they dare to do it again in the future."
For a while, the capital was in turmoil and everyone was in danger.
After all, no one wanted to go to the Ministry of Justice.
