At this time, Yun Chen had calmed down. After listening to Cui Hengyue's words, he asked calmly: "In that case, tell me, where did you go after you knocked out the guard?"

Cui Hengyue's expression froze.

To say or not to say?

If she did, could Lin Jiang withstand their interrogation and not reveal the key?

If she doesn't tell, these people will think she is the murderer. Then she will be unable to defend herself and will be executed as a murderer.

It was a matter of life and death. Cui Hengyue made a decision quickly: "I went to find Lin Jiang."

Yun Chen looked at Qionghua silently.

Qionghua nodded quickly: "Yes, I can testify to this because I went with Yueyue."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qionghua thought about how they said she was Yueyue's person just now, and her words were not credible, so she added: "We didn't lie, you can go and investigate."

Yun Chen looked at Yun Lin and raised his eyebrows at him.

Yun Lin understood the idea and left the meeting hall with two guards.

Soon, Yun Lin arrived outside Lin Jiang's room.

"Bang!"

The guard kicked open the door and rushed in.

"who?"

Hearing the noise, Lin Jiang quickly took out a dagger from under the pillow, jumped out of bed, and held the dagger in front of him.

The next moment, the room gradually lit up, and Lin Jiang finally saw the situation in front of him clearly. Two guards were pointing knives at him, and there was a white robe next to him...

Lin Jiang was startled, thinking it was a ghost. After taking a closer look, he realized it was Yun Lin, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It turns out to be Colonel Yun."

Lin Jiang put away the dagger and asked with a smile: "I wonder what Captain Yun is doing here?"

Yun Lin asked with a straight face: "Besides us, has anyone come to see you since last night?"

Hearing this, Lin Jiang's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Yueyue and Qionghua were discovered when they went back?

"No, no one came to me except you three."

Even if they are discovered by Captain Yun's people, as long as he doesn't admit it, they can't do anything to them without evidence.

What's more, he promised Yueyue that he would not tell anyone about her coming to him, let alone the key.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiang made up his mind that no matter how Yun Lin interrogated him, he would not confess Cui Hengyue.

Yun Lin: "You must think clearly. If you lie to me, you will never be so comfortable in the future."

"I didn't lie. No one has come to see me except you three." Lin Jiang looked magnanimous.

However, Yunlin did not believe him and coldly ordered the guards: "Tie him up and torture him."

Lin Jiang's expression suddenly changed: "Colonel Yun, what do you mean?"

Yunlin ignored him.

Two guards immediately stepped forward, one put a knife on Lin Jiang's neck, and the other tied Lin Jiang up with a rope.

"Snapped!"

The whip fell hard and fast on Lin Jiang's body. Lin Jiang endured the pain, but still groaned.

He glared at Yun Lin angrily: "You will be executed privately, do you still have the law in your eyes?"

The corner of Yunlin's lips curled up slightly: "In Yunxuan Temple, King Chu is King Fa."

"Snapped!"

Another whip.

"ah--"

Lin Jiang let out a scream and looked back, only to realize that the whip in the guard's hand was not an ordinary whip. There were spikes on his whip.

With a whip, the skin and flesh were torn apart.

Yun Lin looked at all this indifferently: "Tell me, apart from the three of us, has anyone come to see you since last night?"

"...No." Lin Jiang gritted his teeth and said.

"Keep fighting and stop whenever he is willing to tell the truth."

After hearing Yun Lin's instructions, the two guards struck harder. They stood on both sides of Lin Jiang, each whipping him down one after another.

"ah--"

After being whipped for more than a dozen times, Lin Jiang couldn't bear it anymore and screamed louder than ever.

Cui Hengyue faintly heard the scream, but she didn't know it was from Lin Jiang. She sat quietly on the chair with an expressionless face, not knowing what she was thinking.

Half an hour later, Yun Lin returned to the meeting hall and reported to Yun Chen solemnly: "Captain, we have interrogated Lin Jiang. He said that no one has looked for him from last night to now."

Cui Hengyue: "..."

Yun Chen glanced at Cui Hengyue and asked, "Did you use torture?"

Yunlin: "It's torture."

As soon as she heard this, the image of Lin Jiang lying on the ground covered in blood appeared in Qionghua's mind, and she suddenly became excited: "Why torture? If you have any questions, just ask, why torture?"

"How could he tell the truth without punishment?" Yun Lin said calmly.

Qionghua: "..."

However, even after being tortured, he did not tell the truth.

"No matter what, you can't use torture. His hand is broken and his health is not good. How can he bear it?"

Yun Lin: "There is a rule in the South Palace. Anyone who kills must die. This rule is not only for you, but also for us.

"So you can rest assured that Lin Jiang will not die."

Even if you don't die, you will suffer.

When Qionghua thought of these people punishing Lin Jiang, she felt heartbroken.

These bastards...

Cui Hengyue was speechless. She didn't expect that Lin Jiang could remain tight-lipped and didn't confess a single thing even when they were executing him.

However, his mouth is too strict.

As long as he admits that she went to find her, he can prove her innocence.

However, this Lin Jiang actually guarded this matter without saying anything...

Yun Chen looked at Cui Hengyue with a complicated expression: "What else do you have to say?"

Before Cui Hengyue opened his mouth, Qionghua was ahead of him: "Captain Yun, let me see Lin Jiang. I will definitely make him tell the truth."

"Ha!" Chen Guang sneered: "You and Lin Jiang are both servants of the Wang family, and Cui Hengyue is your little master, so naturally you are facing her.

"Are you going? Haha, do you want Lin Jiang to change his story and help Cui Hengyue make a false confession?"

Qionghua was anxious: "I didn't want to do this, I just wanted him to tell the truth. We did go find him."

Chen Guang didn't answer, but the look on his face clearly showed disbelief.

Cui Hengyue said coldly: "I want to confront Lin Jiang."

"No." Chen Guang flatly refused, turned to Yun Chen and said, "Captain, we cannot let Cui Hengyue and Lin Jiang confront each other. Once they meet, they will definitely collude in secret."

Yun Chen nodded slightly, feeling that Chen Guang's concerns were reasonable.

Cui Hengyue felt speechless. These people thought too much of her and Lin Jiang.

The little madman and Lin Jiang didn't meet very often, only a dozen times a year. Each time they met, it only lasted for a cup of tea. How could they have such a tacit understanding? They could tell what the other was thinking with just one look or one sentence.

?

Cui Hengyue endured it and made a suggestion: "Then you tell Lin Jiang that I have already recruited him. Let's see what he says."

Yun Lin looked at Cui Hengyue with a strange look: "I have used this trick before, and Lin Jiang still hasn't changed his tune."

Cui Hengyue: "..."

For such a loyal servant, Cui Hengyue really didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

"Cui Hengyue, what else do you have to say?"

Hearing Yun Chen's question, Cui Hengyue said impatiently: "You don't believe what I said, so what else is there to say?"
