Dali Temple Tianlao.

Ning Fu and Tong Guan, led by Wu Shaoqing, came to an interrogation room and sat down.

The prison cells of this era were filled with darkness and terror. The Yama and Hell in folklore were based on prisons in various places.

The light in the interrogation room was dim, and the surrounding walls were covered with various torture instruments. These things were not for viewing, but had actual uses. Some of the torture instruments were stained with blood.

"Did Uncle Qing Ping only see He Lu alone, or did he call all Zhou Zhensu and others?"

Wu Shaoqing asked Ningfu at this time.

"Are they imprisoned together?"

Ning Fu asked curiously.

"They are all felons. Each of them is in a separate cell, but they are all in the same area."

Wu Shaoqing replied.

"Then let's meet together, but please ask Wu Shaoqing to stay out of the way!"

Ning Fu said with a smile.

"no problem!"

Wu Shaoqing didn't say much. After all, Ning Fu was sent by the government, and it was normal for him to not let outsiders know anything.

Following Wu Shaoqing's order, He Lu, Zhou Zhensu and Wu Xian were soon brought in.

As for Cui Jiu, he is a military commander and is definitely dead, so there is no need to meet him.

However, he had cooperated with Ning Fu before and was the first to confess, so this case would not involve Cui Jiu's family.

At this time, Wu Shaoqing also led the people out of the room very wisely. Only Ning Fu, Tong Guan, and He Lu were left in the room.

"We are all old acquaintances, so there is no need to be polite. Let's sit down and talk about it later!"

Ning Fu pointed at the long stool in front of him.

He Lu and the other three looked much more haggard than before, especially He Lu, who had lost a lot of weight and even his cheeks were sunken. It seemed that they had not had an easy time in prison during this period.

"What else do you want to ask? Haven't we already recruited them?"

Zhou Zhensu asked in a hoarse voice.

"Uncle Qing Ping, I have provided a lot of evidence to the court before, which can be regarded as a crime and meritorious service. Can the court be lenient?"

Wu Xian stepped forward eagerly and asked. On the contrary, although He Lu was very thin, he was very calm and looked at Ning Fu and Tong Guan without speaking.

"Don't be impatient, just sit down and talk!"

Ning Fu pointed to the stool in front of him again, and now the three of them looked at each other and finally sat on the stool.

"Do you know why I came to you?"

Ning Fu picked up the tea and took a sip before asking.

"Does the imperial court want to pardon my sins? After all, I have done meritorious service before."

Wu Xian looked at Ning Fu with hope and asked.

"Hmph, stop dreaming. The crimes you have committed are nothing to exaggerate. How could the court let you go so easily?"

Zhou Zhensu snorted coldly, interrupting Wu Xian's fantasy.

"Yes, according to the crimes of the three of you, both the officials and I want to put you to death in Lingchi, as a warning to the officials all over the world..."

"Don't use such words to deceive people. Don't think that I don't know. Now all the officials in the court are protecting our lives. What can you do to us?"

Unexpectedly, He Lu suddenly interrupted Ning Fu and said with a sneer.

"How do you know this?"

Ning Fu's face suddenly darkened and he asked in a stern voice.

He Lu and others were imprisoned in a sky prison, and no one was allowed to visit them at ordinary times. It stands to reason that they should know nothing about the situation in the outside world.

But He Lu actually knew what happened in the court, and someone was obviously tipping him off secretly.

"Haha, you want to know, I won't tell you, what can you do to me?"

He Lu showed a sarcastic smile and said that he had already fallen to this point and naturally lost his respect for anyone.

"Forget it if you don't say it."

Unexpectedly, Ning Fu chuckled lightly, as if he didn't care much about this matter. This made He Lu feel like he was punched in the air, and he felt indescribably uncomfortable.

"Brother He, is there really someone out there interceding for us?"

Zhou Zhensu was shocked at this moment and asked He Lu excitedly.

Although Zhou Zhensu and He Lu were detained in the same area, they were far apart from each other, so they did not know the situation in the outside world.

"Yes, the court has always had a rule not to kill scholar-bureaucrats. We can't break the court's rules because of us, so almost all the officials in the court are protecting us. Even Zhang Gong doesn't side with the officials."

He Lu smiled proudly again at this time.

When he was being escorted to the capital, He Lu thought he was doomed this time, but he didn't expect that in a twists and turns, it seemed possible to save his life, which made him extremely proud.

"Haha...hahahaha~, I won't die, I can survive!"

Wu Xian also burst into crazy laughter at this time. Since he was sent to the prison, his spirit has been greatly stimulated and he has been living in fear of death all the time. Now he is finally free.

"I advise you not to be too happy. There are indeed many officials outside interceding for you, but they are not doing it for you, but for themselves!"

Tong Guan finally couldn't help but interjected.

"It doesn't matter, we can save our lives anyway, but we are destined to disappoint you this time!"

He Lu smiled proudly again.

"you……"

Tong Guan stood up angrily. He almost died at the hands of people like He Lu, so he must be the one who wanted He Lu to die the most.

"Brother Tong, please calm down. It's not worth getting angry with these dying people!"

Ning Fu persuaded with a smile at this time.

"A dying person? It seems that Uncle Qingping, you still refuse to recognize the reality?"

He Lu asked with a sneer.

"What kind of reality? You don't think you can really survive if all the officials intercede for you, right?"

Ning Fu leaned out and looked at He Lu and the others with a playful look and asked.

"What do you mean, do you still want to lynch us?"

He Lu put on a tough expression, but looked outside the door, as if to warn Ning Fu that this was a prison. If Ning Fu was found to have lynched He Lu and the others, not even Zhao Xu would be able to survive.

he.

"Don't take yourself too seriously. Even if the officials' pleas really work, the officials can't sentence you to death immediately, but you don't think that you really won't die, right?"

Ning Fu suddenly sneered and stared at the three people and asked.

"You...what exactly do you want to say?"

He Lu and the three of them all felt very bad, and the excitement just now was wiped out.

"There are many ways to kill people. You don't just have to go to the execution ground and have your head chopped off to die."

After Ning Fu said this, he glanced at He Lu and the others again, and the smile on his face became even colder.
