After entering the book, I emptied the warehouse of my foster mother's house to farm

Xiao Hengshan didn't know how credible Ji Yan's words were. After all, the case he wanted to thoroughly investigate was the witchcraft case that the emperor was most taboo about.

This case involved a wide range of people at the time, and countless lives were sacrificed in it. Even if some of them survived, they were exiled to the frontier. Those who were lucky enough not to die on the road eventually became slaves for generations.

Xu Xing wanted to find evidence and witnesses again, but as the time passed so long ago, it was more difficult than it was back then.

However, there is not no hope at all. After all, the whereabouts of the prince is unknown.

Xiao Hengshan was not optimistic, but suspected that the emperor did it on purpose. Looking at Xu Xing who was conducting a "bloody" trial in the prison, he felt a sharp pain in his teeth.

The interrogation methods used by the Prince of Weiguo are endless. The torture instruments in the Dali Temple are not even close to enough.

Roasted bird, how on earth did he come up with that?

However, although it was a bit cruel, the effect was unexpectedly good. In a short period of time, two tough guys had already spoken.

"No, no, no, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything you want to know."

"What I said is real."

“Mercy, mercy, ah…”

……

The wailing in the prison was so terrible that Xiao Hengshan, who was outside, felt a chill on his back even though it was a hot summer day.

"how?"

Ji Yan looked at Xu Xing and asked Xiao Hengshan. Seeing his face turn pale and blue, he sneered, "Why, are you scared?"

Xiao Hengshan didn't even notice when he unconsciously clamped his legs together. After taking a few deep breaths, he finally found his voice: "From your appearance, the prince has nothing to do with blood and brutality."

When Ji Yan heard him say such innocent and cute words, he thought that he was really frightened by Xu Xing's "roasting bird" method, and shook his head sarcastically.

How could a man who had worked his way up from a soldier without the protection of his parents and had reached his current position through his own military merits be as gentle and harmless as he appears?

Xu Xing is truly an amazing person.

While the two were talking, Xu Xing had already finished the interrogation for today.

He walked out of the prison, brushed off the non-existent dust on his body, looked at Ji Yan and Xiao Hengshan and said, "Master Taifu, Master Xiao, I will go back today. Killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, we will see if it works tomorrow."

Killing chickens to warn monkeys?

Xiao Hengshan felt inexplicably scared. Not only the monkey, but even he himself was frightened by his methods!

Jing Lei packed up the signed evidence and came out. He whispered a few words in Xu Xing's ear, and then Xu Xing turned his head to look at him. After the master and servant looked at each other, they understood the meaning behind the eyes.

After a moment, Xu Xing looked at Xiao Hengshan with a gentle expression again: "Master Xiao, I'll have to clean up the mess inside. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."

It was his job to clean up the mess on Xiao Hengshan's territory: "You are too polite, Prince. Please take care!"

Xu Xing bowed to Ji Yan, then left with Jing Lei.

"Hey, that's not right."

Xiao Hengshan reacted.

Seeing that Xu Xing had already walked away, Ji Yan shook his head at Xiao Hengshan: "Not to mention that the prince has already walked away, even if he stood in front of you, would you dare to ask him for what he got?"

amount……

That’s not what I meant.

Xiao Hengshan was worried that Ji Yan had misunderstood, so he quickly explained: "The prince is the imperial envoy, so we will naturally follow him. However, evidence should be left in the Dali Temple..."

As Xiao Hengshan was talking, he discovered something that was not quite right. He glanced at Ji Yan and asked, "Master, the corruption case has been closed. Shouldn't you go back now?"
