Chapter 174, War in Troubled Times 22

All the assassins were arrested. Qin Rui and the third lady did not expect that Yu Hanjiang and his party would chase them into the woods. The two looked at each other. After all, Yu Hanjiang was the prefect of Jiangzhou, so it was hard to pretend not to see them. Qin Rui had no choice but to step forward.

, cupping his fists towards Yu Hanjiang and saying, "Master Yu, I wonder why you are here?"

"Of course I was chasing the assassin, and I happened to catch him here." Yu Hanjiang saw that he was dressed in black and dressed like the shadow guards around him, and he thought to himself, "Are you also a shadow guard?"

Qin Rui nodded "Yes."

Since the Shadow Guards usually wear black clothes and cover their faces and don't know each other, it's understandable that Long Sen didn't recognize him.

From this point of view, everything that happened in Jiangzhou was clearly known to the emperor in Kyoto. Maybe his majesty had long suspected that there were assassins and intelligence organizations in Jiangzhou, so he asked the prince to cooperate in a good show and kill all these assassins.

Lead out.

Yu Hanjiang winked at Long Sen, who immediately flew over and took off the hats worn by the assassins——

Sure enough, they are the girls from Tianxiang Tower.

Aunt Qing was not present, and the girls who came to assassinate her today were the same people who were rescued from prison last night.

I thought that the second young lady had neglected to take precautions. She left Jiangzhou City and ran into this inaccessible forest, which was a perfect opportunity to take action... I didn't expect that this was actually a trap.

Realizing that they had been trapped in a trap, several girls were about to bite out the toxins in their teeth and commit suicide. Long Sen, Mo Xuemin and Xiao Lou were quick with their hands and immediately grabbed the jaws of the girls.

Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang and said, "I will get the poison out of their teeth and then take them back for interrogation."

Xiao Lou is already familiar with things like tooth extraction. He also likes to commit suicide after failing in previous hunter missions. He has already experienced pulling out teeth. The girls in Tianxiang Tower widened their eyes in disbelief. Mrs. Yu looked calm.

, put the silk thread into their mouths, and poked their poisonous teeth cleanly. Without using a stick of incense, Mrs. Yu took care of the poisonous teeth in all the girls' mouths.

Girls "…………"

Everyone looked hopeless.

The second young lady and the third young lady looked at each other and looked at each other.

The frightened Ninth Princess also regained her breath at this time, looked at the maid Qu Wanyue beside her, and asked doubtfully, "Can Madam Yu not only do autopsies, but also extract teeth? What is her origin!"

Qu Wanyue thought to herself, our Professor Xiao knows a lot, he can also use a compass to make a brazier, but it is a pity that compasses cannot be used in this world, and Professor Xiao can only use 30% of his strength.

Facing the curious eyes of the Ninth Princess, Qu Wanyue could only say perfunctorily, "I don't know, I have to ask Master Yu."

The Ninth Princess looked complicated, and she couldn't shamelessly ask Yu Hanjiang, "What does your wife do?"

"Mrs. Hard work." Yu Hanjiang walked to Xiao Lou's side, gently held his shoulders, and acted like a loving couple in front of everyone. Then he looked at the assassin who fell on the ground and said seriously, "Bring them back."

The prefect interrogates."

The third lady suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

Yu Hanjiang turned around and said, "Miss Third, do you have any questions?"

The third lady frowned and said, "We caught the assassins. I want to take them back to the palace. There is no reason for Master Yu to take them away!"

Yu Hanjiang looked at her calmly and said lightly, "Did Miss Miss forget that the prince has given full authority to Wei Chen to investigate and deal with this case?"

Third Miss: "But..."

Yu Hanjiang interrupted her, "Weichen, as the magistrate of Jiangzhou, caught the assassin on the border of Jiangzhou. It should be interrogated by the government. The prince does not ask about political affairs, so I don't bother him with this matter. Weichen will find out the result as soon as possible and report it to the government."

Your Majesty reports."

The third lady still wanted to speak, but Yu Hanjiang simply waved his hand and said, "Take her away!"

Long Sen immediately cooperated and tied up several assassins, preparing to escort them back to the Jiangzhou government office.

The third lady was dumbfounded - she realized that she couldn't defeat Yu Hanjiang at all.

Just as they were about to use force, the second young lady reached out to stop the irritable third sister, and said with a smile, "Since my father has handed over the case to the adults, the palace cannot continue to intervene in this matter, and there is Mr. Lao Yu."

Yu Hanjiang "The princess is very polite."

He nodded to the princess, got on his horse, and returned to Jiangzhou with these assassins.

There were a total of 6 assassins captured this time. Yu Hanjiang locked them in the woodshed and sent Long Sen to guard them personally. He then called Ye Qi over to identify them. Ye Qi quickly told the names of these girls. Everyone

They all took brothel stage names such as Hongmei, Xiangning, and Rosewood. I don’t know what Ye Qi’s real name is.

Xueyan and Aunt Qing were not present, maybe they had other tasks.

Yu Hanjiang called these assassins one by one to interrogate them individually. "Are you from the Yan Kingdom?"

The girl looked pale but refused to nod.

Yu Hanjiang said coldly, "Where have Aunt Qing and Xue Yan gone? Who is the 'master' you are talking about? Who is behind the scenes?"

However, the question was like a stone's throw without any response - since these girls are willing to leave their hometowns and come to Jiangzhou to do intelligence collection and assassination work, they must have put their life and death at risk a long time ago.

Yu Hanjiang interrogated them for an hour, but still couldn't pry their mouths open, and each girl's eyes were extremely stubborn, as if they were saying with their eyes, "Don't bother, I won't explain anything."

Judging from their attitude of "seeing death as home", these girls have received professional training and have been brainwashed. They are from the Yan country, and it is their honor to sacrifice for the Yan country. Once they have this idea, Yu Hanjiang will not be able to find anything useful at all.

information.

Yu Hanjiang walked out of the interrogation room with a headache. Xiao Lou knew from the look on his expression that the interrogation was not going well. "Are they not willing to explain?"

"Well." Yu Hanjiang pinched his eyebrows and said, "They didn't say a word. The leader behind the assassin organization is definitely not Aunt Qing. Aunt Qing is only responsible for the affairs of Jiangzhou. Who is Aunt Qing's boss is what we need to investigate

The key.”

Mo Xuemin's face was full of anxiety, "If they don't say anything, then should we wait for new clues to come out, or should we find ways to torture them to extract a confession?"

Ye Qi was stunned for a moment and said, "Torture to extract a confession? Is this okay?"

In ancient times, it was very common to use various criminal methods to interrogate prisoners. There were various torture instruments in the dungeon, such as bamboo boards to clamp the fingers, iron blocks to leave marks on the body, and iron ropes to penetrate the butterfly bones...

Ye Qi's scalp went numb when he thought of those blood-stained torture instruments. He couldn't help but shudder and said, "These girls are only about twenty years old. If they are tortured directly, they may not be able to bear the torture and they won't be able to give out clues."

must."

Torture is also a method, but Yu Hanjiang doesn't want to take this step.

Although they collectively traveled to ancient times, they still had modern concepts in their minds. He really couldn't bear to torture these young girls with various cruel torture tools.

Seeing Yu Hanjiang frowning, Xiao Lou suddenly said, "I have a way, maybe it will be useful."

Yu Hanjiang immediately turned back to look at Xiao Lou, "Madam, please tell me."

Xiao Lou said, "Do you still remember Liu Qiao's twin card? It can copy any person or animal seen within half an hour. Her card was equivalent to the disguise spell in ancient times, and it should still be useful. Let her copy it.

Wouldn't it be nice to have the appearance of an assassin and sneak into the assassins to discuss their 'master'?"

Yu Hanjiang “…………”

This method is indeed wonderful. Xiao Liu can be sent as an undercover agent in the assassin organization.

Thinking of this, Yu Hanjiang immediately asked Lao Mo to call Liu Qiao over.

After Liu Qiao arrived, she told everyone that her twin card could be used, so Yu Hanjiang quickly made arrangements and asked Lao Mo to interrogate the youngest girl among them, and locked the girl in the study. Liu Qiao took a look and immediately

After copying the girl's appearance and voice, Yu Hanjiang pretended that the interrogation was over and asked Lao Mo to tie her hands behind her back with a rope and escort her back to the woodshed.

After Liu Qiao walked into the woodshed, he sat silently in the corner. An older woman asked with concern, "Xiang Ning, are you okay?"

The girl Liu Qiao copied happened to be named Xiang Ning. She nodded and said, "It's okay."

Another woman asked, "Master Yu, didn't he torture you?"

Liu Qiao shook his head, "No, you just asked me about the master, I didn't say anything."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

There was an eerie silence in the woodshed. Everyone was uneasy. They were worried that Master Yu would use various cruel punishments and torture on them. Thinking of getting some bloody torture tools from the dungeon, some girls turned pale and their bodies...

Shivering slightly.

The afternoon passed quickly, but no one came to interrogate them again.

After nightfall, everyone's uneasiness reached its peak. Liu Qiao carefully observed everyone's expressions and asked pretending to be confused, "What does Master Yu mean? He doesn't let us commit suicide, and he doesn't torture us. He just locks us up. Is that right?"

Do you want to starve us for a few days and torture us until our spirits break down before interrogating us?"

Another person said, "It's better to torture directly. Isn't it interesting to torture slowly like this?"

Liu Qiao pretended to be worried and said, "I heard that Mrs. Yu has a mysterious origin. Not only can she do autopsies, but she can also use poison. If he paralyzes us with the poison that makes us trance-like, and then interrogates us, we will confess without knowing it."

What should I do?”

This possibility made everyone's expressions change.

An older woman said coldly, "No matter what means they use, everyone must keep their mouths shut and not tell any information about the organization! Don't forget the oath you swore in front of the master - whoever dares to betray the master,

He will definitely die without a complete body, and his relatives at home will be affected!"

After hearing this, everyone fell silent.

A young girl choked with sobs and said, "Sister Hongmei, of course we will not betray our master. I am ready to die. I hope my parents and younger brother can live a good life in Yan State..."

Liu Qiao said in a formula, "Sister Hongmei, have you seen the true face of the master?"

Hongmei shook her head, "No, the master's whereabouts are mysterious. We only follow Aunt Qing's orders. We don't need to know much else."

Liu Qiao frowned slightly in the corner. It seemed that the information these assassins knew was very limited. The "master" was very good at hiding his identity. In addition to these girls swearing to sacrifice their lives for their master, their relatives also
