After Rebirth, I Became the Treacherous Minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 275: Get to the bottom of things

Chapter 275 The truth comes to light

Outside the cell, Master Hu was walking up and down the corridor with his hands behind his back, feeling very anxious.

"You won't let me follow you. You have to tell me to wait."

Master Hu paused and frowned worriedly.

"Does he know how to interrogate prisoners? What if the secret is revealed? Should I give Haizhu some drugs to make him less conscious?"

"But in this case, his confession will be too numerous to count."

"Hey! What a headache!"

"I'll go in and take a look!"

Master Hu was worried and rushed in. But as soon as he reached the door of the cell, he remembered the man's instructions again and gritted his teeth and took a few steps back.

So back and forth.

Finally, Master Hu took the risk and wanted to listen!

At this moment, he felt a cold air blowing towards his face, and it was a man coming out of the cell.

Mr. Hu has walked down the long corridor countless times, and he is very aware of the gaps in the walls.

However, for some reason, this walkway felt strange to him for the first time, like a ghost road.

The man looked like a ghost that had broken into the human world from the underworld, making the hairs all over his body stand on end.

"You can go see him now."

The man's low and hoarse voice was like the sound of a broken bellows.

Master Hu suddenly became alarmed that this man's voice was broken. No wonder he felt that he spoke differently from ordinary people along the way.

"So fast?"

Master Hu was a little surprised.

The man pulled up the brim of his cloak and walked into the endless night.

Master Hu stared blankly at his retreating figure, feeling somewhat absent-minded for no reason.

When he came back to his senses, he chased after him in shock: "Hey - your reward -"

By the time he was panting and chasing him out of the Criminal Department, where was the shadow of a man or a horse on the street?

Master Hu's body trembled and he touched his arms with both hands: "I really feel like I've seen a ghost. Where did Lord Shangshu find this person? It's so evil!"

Master Hu went to Haizhu's cell.

Haizhu said that he wanted to see Shangshu Xing.

"You're really looking for a job for me in the middle of the night!"

Master Hu left cursing.

When Shangshu Xing heard that Haizhu wanted to see him, he got on the carriage to the Ministry of Punishment without saying a word.

"Where's Qian Fugui?"

Xing Shangshu asked.

"Qian, Qian Fugui? Who is it?"

Master Hu was a little confused.

Xing Shangshu asked: "Didn't you pick him up?"

Master Hu would regret it and say: "Ah, you said that fake monkey, I got it and he has left."

Xing Shangshu wondered: "Leaved?"

Master Hu said: "Yes, he went to see Haizhu and then left. He left in a hurry and forgot to take his reward. Is he really a charlatan? Why do I look a little creepy?"

Xing Shangshu was thoughtful.

During the conversation, the carriage arrived at the Criminal Department.

Xing Shangshu went to see Hai Zhu.

Haizhu confessed to his crime - he was the one who poisoned Marshal Chu, and it was he who forged Marshal Chu's transfer order and removed all the twelve remaining guards from Prince Chu's palace.

Xing Shangshu: "How many are there?"

Hai Zhu: "Except Youji and Yinhu who went to Beiliang, there are ten people left including me."

Master Hu was writing furiously on the desk in the corner, writing down a complete transcript. Xing Shangshu continued: "Did you also set the fire in Prince Chu's Mansion?"

Haizhu said: "No, that's all I do."

Xing Shangshu stared into Haizhu's eyes for a moment: "So, it's not you who killed the Chu family?"

Haizhu confessed: "I did not participate in the subsequent actions. I was only responsible for poisoning Marshal Chu and transferring the twelve guards."

Xing Shangshu asked again: "How did you poison me?"

Haizhu said: "The poison I put in the well water will be easy to detect in the wine and food, and it may not have entered the stomach of Marshal Chu. In order to ensure that he is poisoned, I can only poison everyone." ”

Master Hu's pen is almost smoking.

Xing Shangshu: "What kind of poison was administered?"

Hai Zhu: "A kind of poison from the Western Regions. It is colorless and tasteless. It is ineffective for ordinary people to eat, but it will cause martial arts practitioners to lose their skills overnight. The more they forcefully exercise their skills, the more poison will enter the internal organs, and eventually the seven orifices will bleed and die." Death."

Master Hu, swish, swish!

Uncle's! There are so many confessions!

Xing Shangshu: "What do you think of the fact that Mrs. Chu is the murderer?"

Haizhu: "She was also poisoned. She couldn't have killed anyone. She was framed. As for who framed her, I don't know."

Xing Shangshu: "So she didn't set the fire?"

Haizhu's expression paused, as if hesitating for a moment, and then shook his head: "What reason did she have to set the fire?"

Xing Shangshu said seriously: "But I can't figure out any reason for your accomplice to set the fire. You really don't know him?"

Haizhu said: "I don't know. I only do my job and don't know anything else."

Xing Shangshu captured the key point in his words: "So you were instigated by others regarding your duties. Tell me, who instigated you?"

The corners of Hai Zhu's mouth moved.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, this Minister of Punishment does have two tricks.

"The late late prince."

Haizhu said.

Xing Shangshu's expression did not change at all. Hai Zhu didn't know whether he had already suspected this, or whether his mood had stabilized to an incredible level.

Hai Zhu thought of Si She, who was such a person.

Xing Shangshu asked: "Why did the prince murder the Chu family?"

Haizhu explained: "The King of Chu is the son of the Supreme Emperor. After the prince learned about his life experience, he was worried that the King of Chu would compete with him for the throne, so he bribed me and became a part of the Prince Chu's palace to destroy the family."

Master Hu's pen clattered and drew a long scratch on the table.

Oh my God, the melon is so big!

Xing Shangshu's expression remained as usual.

Hai Zhu can now conclude that he has an extremely terrifying will.

I thought that next, Shangshu Xing would ask him step by step about the motives and details of his collusion with the former prince.

Unexpectedly, Shangshu Xing was uncharacteristic and stopped asking about the case: "Haizhu, you should understand that your crime is unforgivable, right? Even if you are not the mastermind behind the scenes, your crime is enough to get you killed."

Haizhu said calmly: "From the moment I was bribed by the prince, I knew that my trial would come sooner or later."

Xing Shangshu said: "If you were given a chance to redeem yourself, would you take it?"

"Atoning for my merits?" Haizhu smiled, "It's just a cheap life. Do you think I'm afraid of death?"

Xing Shangshu leaned forward: "I know you are not afraid of death, and I am not trying to give you a way to live. I am giving you a choice - kneel under the guillotine as a death row prisoner, or die like a hero?"

Hai Zhu was stunned.

…

"There once was an inconspicuous retainer in the Prince's Mansion named Luo San, who was nicknamed San Tuozi. It was he who revealed King Chu's life experience to the Prince, and it was he who encouraged the Prince to deal with the Chu family, made suggestions, bribed killers...all from This person’s hand.”

"If you find him, you can get him to identify the real mastermind behind the murder—Xun Xiangguo."
