Chapter 66 Solving the Case
The Northern Pacification Office is only separated from the Ziyuan Palace by Shenlong Street.
The Beizhenfusi has high city walls, lush pines and cypresses, and is so deep that you can't see the sun.
Zhu Huaizhen followed the Jinyiwei commander Lou Li and stepped into the threshold of the Northern Pacification Office. He suddenly felt a gust of cold wind and shivered. Fortunately, Lou Li supported him.
"Zhen'er, it's still not too late to go back now." Lou Li smiled coldly.
What a joke! Zhao Lian'er will laugh at you when you get back.
Add to that the old lady, Madam Chen, and Gao Yan'er, she must be annoyed to death.
"Ali, I just want to be with you." Zhu Huaizhen deliberately rolled his tongue and acted coquettishly, smiling as happily as a thief.
As soon as he finished speaking, a disheveled man crawled out, uttering a particularly miserable cry.
Seeing this, Zhu Huaizhen was shocked and quickly hid behind Lou Li.
"Sir, the suspect's tongue had just been cut off. We were not paying attention and let him escape. Please forgive me." The Jinyiwei bowed while holding the Embroidered Spring Knife, speaking in a low voice.
"Go back and receive thirty lashes as punishment." Lou Li said coldly.
"Thank you, sir." The Jinyiwei were overjoyed and immediately took the suspect away.
"Zhen'er, you usually don't do your job well, so you should be punished with fifty lashes and lose half your life. Today, for your sake, I will show mercy." Lou Li curled his lips and smiled, but the smile was cold.
Zhu Huaizhen pretended to be calm and said "oh".
Then, Lou Li led the way and Zhu Huaizhen followed at a jog.
The two were silent, with only the crows' cries as the sound.
Until around the corner, there suddenly appeared a peach tree. The peach tree was about a hundred years old, its flowering period had passed, the leaves were green, and the trunk was extremely thick. Five or six adults opened their arms.
"Zhen'er, find a place to sit down." Lou Li said with a cold and sinister smile.
"A Li, why don't you stop laughing? It's creepy." Zhu Huaizhen said weakly.
She found a swing under a peach tree and sat on it, feeling strange.
Lou Li originally wanted to remind her that the last female prisoner who sat on the swing was killed and her body was mutilated, but he was angry at her words that didn't allow him to laugh, so he simply said nothing.
"Bring a witness." Lou Li didn't smile in the end. He pursed his lips and frowned.
Zhu Huaizhen held up his rosy cheeks and looked at her again and again, quite appreciative.
When Lou Li wasn't smiling, he looked even more melancholy and charming.
The witnesses were three young men and the old guard Tie Zhan.
Tie Zhan was quick-witted and realized that the Jinyiwei commander was on Princess Ronghua's side. He fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face, "Princess Ronghua, spare me. I know nothing."
"You know nothing? That means you know everything." Zhu Huaizhen jumped off the swing, put his hands behind his back, raised his chin slightly, glanced at the old guard Tie Zhan, his legs still trembling.
In her previous life, this old guard Tie Zhan broke all ten of her toes, causing her excruciating pain.
"Zhen'er, let's start the punishment. Some prisoners will be punished if they don't accept the toast." Lou Li suddenly became excited.
Tie Zhan was a native of Jinling. When he heard the word "punishment", he was so scared that he kowtowed hard.
"Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, I confess, I confess everything. It was Tiegu who committed too many evil deeds and finally destroyed himself, and provoked Princess Ronghua. He thought that Princess Ronghua was a princess of a fallen country, and that the Crown Prince obviously favored Princess Xincheng, so he wanted to step on the powerful and flatter the weak. Moreover, he coveted Princess Ronghua's beauty and wanted to make some money. He even thought that if Princess Ronghua's innocence was damaged, maybe he could enjoy it." The old guard Tiegu hit his head, and blood flowed out, looking miserable.
