Chapter 52 On the way into the palace, remember not to look back

——

"Yes."

"you are you……"

"The thin guy at the end."

Zhao Shi tilted his head and pointed at the back of the prisoner. Then Cheng Yi cleverly opened the food box he carried everywhere, carefully selected a jujube and stuffed it into Zhao Shi's mouth. Zhao Shi chewed it twice.

He spit out the date core and asked: "On the night of August 23rd, at a quarter of the second watch, where were you and what were you doing?"

The thin young man trembled and said angrily: "Didn't I tell you earlier? I was gambling that day."

"gamble?"

Zhao Shi glanced at him, and there were many ways to get him to confess, but perseverance is always easy when it comes to corruption. Zhao Shi opened his mouth a few times, trying to persuade, but in the end he shouted: "Cheng Yi."

"yes."

Cheng Yi immediately put down the food box in his hand,

With a ferocious smile,

As if he were a different person, he rushed into the cell, snapped, grabbed the thin young man's neck, pulled him close, and said solemnly: "Do you know how Yan Cong became the ghost he is now?"

"Strict obedience?"

The thin young man shuddered, took a deep look, and then said tremblingly: "You, you are King Cheng Yan?" Then his eyes turned white, and he knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes and said: "I move, I move, I am all

trick."

well

Zhao Shi sighed,

It's just that this sigh is not for this young man, but for himself. After all, the interrogation method he learned the most in his previous life is called humanism. He doesn't beat or scold, just chat. Although it also caused a lot of fatigue, making insinuations and step by step.

The interrogation method, but in the end...

Not as useful as this.

Zhao Shi sighed and wrote lightly on the file: "Next one."

Then Zhao Shi used his relatively advantageous ability to observe details and reasoning, coupled with Cheng Yi's intimidation method of using sticks at every turn. Although the speed was slower, he still slowly cleared the death row area.

.

Don't say,

Zhao Shi felt quite nostalgic, so he specifically took a look at the prison cell where he and Li Lingshi lived together, and then looked at the opposite side, where the monkey helped someone commit suicide, and where Chai Wen kidnapped Bao Zheng and escaped from prison.

The smelly dried blood was still there. Zhao Shi looked at it quietly, then turned over a few pages of the file in his hand, hesitated and asked, "Is Madam Cui's father called...Mr. Wang?"

"yes."

Cheng Yi carefully brought hot tea to Zhao Shi again: "The lower official has ordered people to collect the body and place it in Yizhuang, Kaifeng Mansion. If the official has any questions, he can investigate again anytime and anywhere."

Zhao Shi shook his head,

It's not that he has no doubts anymore, but that he is not very willing to go deeper now, just like when Lin Chu was there, he only asked for the map, not the person.

but,

Now that he had seen the death scene of Mrs. Cui's father, Mr. Wang, Zhao Shi couldn't help but think of that...: "Well, Yan Cong?"

"In the."

Cheng Yi hurriedly agreed. He had long noticed that Zhao Shi had a deep-seated disgust for such rapists and murderers, so he was careful not to let him die, just because he was afraid that Zhao Shi would think of it that day and want to vent his anger on him.

But he couldn't take it out, so he took the initiative to lead Zhao Shi forward.

Not that far,

Zhao Shi saw Yan Cong, who was the first time he entered this prison. He was a strong and energetic man who always wanted to be hammered. However, it was obvious that he was breathing out more and taking in less. It was just when Zhao Shi

Zhao Shi opened his eyes slightly when he came over, and looked at him quietly, and suddenly asked: "When you killed her that day, did she ask for mercy?"

Yan Cong made two sounds in his throat, and he didn't know whether he meant yes or no, but Zhao Shi didn't care anymore, turned around and said: "Rape, kill, kidnap, behead." before leaving.

"cough"

Yan Cong suddenly spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and felt a little better. He stared at Zhao Shi and Yinsen said: "In the worry-free cave, Chai Wentuo, let me tell you, on the way into the palace, remember not to look back.

.”

Say it!

He simply kicked off his legs and fell straight into the straw, as if he was about to die. The frightened Zhao Shi hurriedly shouted: "Why don't you save people?"

"If it can't be saved..."

"Then seize the time and stab him a few more times."

Um?

Yang Chuan suddenly looked at Zhao Shi, but Cheng Yi did not hesitate to kick open the door and wait for the jailer. He opened the door himself, pulled out the dagger himself, jumped on Yan Cong without hesitation, and stabbed Yan Cong.

After seventeen or eighteen cuts, Yan Cong did not forget to howl in agony even when he was dying. Then he dug out a palm-sized wooden block from his body in disgust, held it in both hands and handed it to Zhao Shi: "Advertising officer,

The villain swears that this person never had this little piece of wood on his body before the villain imprisoned him."

Zhao Shi nodded and took the block of wood: "Then when did you imprison him?"

"Yesterday at three o'clock in the morning."

Zhao Shi frowned: "So, in just a few hours from 3:00 pm yesterday to now, someone has sneaked in, given him a small piece of wood, and taught him to say that sentence to me?"

Cheng Yi nodded cautiously, and then looked at the small wooden block in Zhao Shi's hand. The small wooden block was nothing special, except that it had a...

firewood!

"firewood?"

Zhao Shi also read this word and frowned slightly, so you dislike me for not being in a hurry to eliminate harm to the people, so you urge me?

thinking,

Zhao Shi gently shook the small piece of wood.

Dang clang,

Then he discovered that the small piece of wood did not seem to be solid. Zhao Shi observed it for a while, and then with just a pinch of his fingers up, down, left, and right, the box was opened.

hiss---

Among the jailers, one jailer took a deep breath and said, "It's so fast."

Then he saw Zhao Shi suddenly looking up at him. He was stunned, and then turned around and ran away without hesitation. Zhao Shi was not in a hurry. Instead, he waited for a while and ordered Cheng Yi to lead his men to chase him, while he himself

He lowered his head and looked at the small wooden box opened in his hand. The small wooden box itself was nothing special, except that there was a small gold inlaid jade inside.

Snapped

Zhao Shi closed it fiercely.

Vaguely, he seemed to understand why Chai Wen dared to say to him when he died: "If you can understand it, what can I do if I, the Chai family, approve of your victory in the Song Dynasty?" Yang Chuan looked over curiously.

, Zhao Shi closed it without seeing what it was, and was inevitably a little curious: "What's inside?"

Zhao Shi shook his head: "I don't know."

He really didn't know, and it wasn't that he didn't tell Yang Chuan. After all, this thing was just a small piece, and anything was possible. However, before and after the combination, he had some vague guesses. After all, Chai Wen didn't seem to be a big talker.

A person, and what he said before his death, even before his death, was obviously an exaggeration.

Why do you believe that the Song Dynasty won the country with integrity?

unless……

Chai Wen felt that his recognition was useful, just if...

Does he have the imperial seal?

Zhao Shi was not sure of this guess, but if he followed this line of guessing, not only would Chai Wen's words before his death have meaning, but Zhao Shi would also be guaranteed to do things according to his wishes. After all...

"If you receive orders from Heaven, you will live forever"

These eight words,

Not only did the Song Dynasty wish to dig three feet deep to find it from Taizu to the present, but even Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty and Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty wished they could destroy a country and change a seal. Even if Zhao Shi got the slightest bit of information, he would

It's impossible not to go down.

only……

Wouldn't it stop people from dying?

Zhao Shi frowned hard, stuffed the small wooden box into his arms without a look, and thought about what Yan Cong said: "On the way into the palace, remember not to look back?"

Not to mention the words "don't look back", on the way into the palace...

Does this mean that you know my identity, know that I will enter the palace, and are already prepared?

Zhao Shi squinted his eyes slightly,

Let alone whether the other party is ready, the premise that it is possible to prepare means...

The palace was infiltrated?

Zhao Shi couldn't help but look in the direction of the palace gate.

Hesitate for a moment,

Then decided...

Enter the palace immediately.
