Qiaoqi Guards Station.

Not long after, Chang Ping, the shopkeeper of Tianxiang Tower, was captured by the Xiaoqi Guards and brought directly to Li Jinglong.

Looking at the two corpses lying on the ground and the blood all over the ground, Chang Ping turned pale and knelt down on the ground without saying a word. His whole body was trembling slightly and he didn't dare to look at Li Jinglong.

There had just been such a big mess in his Tianxiang Tower. Not only did people die, but he also lost a lot of money. Now he was caught here for no reason, and all the panic and nervousness in his heart appeared on his face.

"Are you the shopkeeper of Tianxiang Tower?!"

Li Jinglong looked at Chang Ping and asked slowly.

"It's the villain..."

Changping nodded tremblingly and answered cautiously.

"Don't be nervous. I came to you just to ask you something."

Li Jinglong forced out a smile and tried to comfort Chang Ping, who was full of panic.

"Excuse me, sir. I must tell you everything I know..."

Changping swallowed and replied softly.

"In the past two months, has there been any suspicious person in Tianxiang Tower?"

Li Jinglong looked straight at Chang Ping and asked calmly, it really sounded like he was chatting.

"Suspicious person?"

"Sir... I don't understand what you mean..."

"Although Tianxiang House is a brothel, the villain has always abided by his duties and never dared to act recklessly, let alone harbor any criminals..."

Changping thought blankly for a moment, then quickly waved his hands and said, even his voice began to tremble.

"Then do you know him?"

Li Jinglong frowned, pointed at the rebel remnant who was kneeling beside him with a knife on his neck, and asked with a smile.

"do not know..."

Chang Ping turned around and glanced, shook his head hurriedly and said.

"Look carefully and see clearly that some words are really wrong if you say them wrong."

Li Jinglong narrowed his eyes and his voice suddenly turned cold.

The remnants of the rebels on the side also had nervous faces, and even deliberately moved closer to Chang Ping, as if they were afraid that Chang Ping would not tell the truth.

Because Li Jinglong just promised him that as long as he was willing to confess, he could let him live.

"Recognize...get to know..."

"He is a guest in Tianxiang Tower and has stayed for more than one day..."

After Changping heard Li Jinglong's warning, he took another careful look, nodded, and finally admitted fearfully.

"Have anyone from the Xie Mansion been looking for him in Tianxiang Tower recently?"

Li Jinglong's eyes lit up and he asked.

"Which Xie Mansion?"

Changping was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully.

"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Industry, thank you from Linzhou's house."

Li Jinglong said in a deep voice.

"no!"

"The villain has a humble status, how can he recognize the people in Shangshu's mansion..."

"Even if you go, how can the villain recognize it?"

Changping was obviously surprised when he heard the words Xie Linzhou, then immediately denied it and shook his head repeatedly.

Who in Kyoto knows Xie Linzhou’s name? When Li Jinglong asked that question, Changping should have known in his heart that tonight's matter was related to the Xie Mansion!

So even if he really knows something, he doesn't dare to talk nonsense, otherwise he will get into trouble. How can he afford to offend the dignified Minister of the Ministry of Industry?

Unless he doesn’t want to establish himself in Kyoto in the future!

"you are lying!"

"Although I have never met you, I also know that Tianxiang Tower has been opened in Kyoto for more than ten years. It can compete with Jiaofangsi and has been doing business for more than ten years, which is enough to prove that you are not what you said. So ordinary!”

"I'm afraid you can't recognize 100% of this prominent figure in Kyoto City, but you can at least recognize 90% of them, right?"

"If you dare to lie again! Their fate will be your fate tonight!"

Li Jinglong snorted coldly, looked at Changping with interest, suddenly raised his voice and scolded sternly.

Upon hearing Li Jinglong's reprimand, Changping was shocked and immediately put his hands on the ground, his face pale.

"Say!"

Seeing that the time was right, a confidant standing behind Li Jinglong pulled out the saber in his hand with a clang and shouted sternly.

"The villain realizes his mistake!"

"The people from the Xie Mansion did go to Tianxiang Tower to meet them secretly! But the villain doesn't know what was said between them..."

"The adults have sharp eyes, but the villains dare not hide anything. The reason why they dare not speak out is that the villains cannot afford to offend the Master..."

Upon hearing this, Changping hurriedly bowed his hands and said loudly.

Hearing Chang Ping's answer, Li Jinglong's face instantly showed a smile of satisfaction, and the murderous intention between his eyebrows had long since disappeared.

"Sir, it turns out that I didn't lie and told the truth. Can you let me go now?"

The rebel remnant on the side finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Li Jinglong flatteringly, and asked with a smile.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Li Jinglong, who was originally smiling, suddenly turned gloomy and snorted coldly.

"Take them both down! Guard them tightly! Don't let anything go wrong!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Jinglong glanced coldly at the remnant of the traitor, and while speaking, he got up and walked out.

He wanted to tell the Second Emperor's grandson the news immediately!

"My lord! My lord!"

"The villain has already told the truth, why is he still being imprisoned?!"

"Sir! The villain is wronged!"

Changping was also stunned and panicked and wanted to ask Li Jinglong for mercy, but Li Jinglong had already quickly left the guardhouse and went straight to the palace.

Soon, Chang Ping and the remnant of the traitor were taken away by several knight guards and locked up tightly.

...

Ministry of Punishment.

Amidst the grumbles of a group of government officials, Zhu Yunxi finally put away the chessboard and ended the game.

Many of the government officials volunteered to play chess with him, but not to mention the novel way of playing that they faced, even if they were not playing for the first time, they would not be Zhu Yunxi's opponents.

If he didn't have 200% confidence in his chess skills, how could Zhu Yunxi dare to easily ask others to take turns to challenge him? He doesn't want to ruin his reputation as a chess master!

"Your Highness, do you still want to be interrogated?"

Seeing that it was finally over, Ge Cheng, who had been waiting for a long time, came closer with a grimace, cupped his hands and asked.

After waiting until now, he really couldn't stand it anymore. The complaints almost reached his throat, and he was about to be unable to suppress it.

"What time is it?"

Zhu Yunxi glanced at the night outside the door, smiled and asked.

"The Yin hour has passed, and it will be the Mao hour soon..."

Ge Cheng replied impatiently.

He didn't understand why Zhu Yunxi kept arguing with the time all night.

"It's almost time, let's go, lead the way."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and as he spoke, he stood up and moved his limbs, which were also tired.

"where to?"

Ge Cheng was stunned for a moment, his face full of doubts.

"To interrogate the prisoner, where else can we go?"

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but laugh and said.

Ge Cheng was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhu Yunxi with a puzzled face, did not dare to delay, and hurriedly led the way.

After staying up for half the night, he really couldn't tell what was going on in the mind of the grandson in front of him, but now that the time had finally come, he thought to himself that he should go back to rest after accompanying Zhu Yunxi to the sky prison for a formality. .

Soon, the group of people entered the prison and came to the execution hall specialized for interrogation.

However, in the execution hall, the jailer and the two muscular, bearded prisoners, who had also been waiting for half a night, were already swaying around and dozing off.

Seeing this scene, Ge Cheng's expression changed slightly and he hurriedly signaled to his men to wake everyone up.

But Zhu Yunxi showed a sly smile after seeing this scene, and looked with interest at the two prisoners who looked dissatisfied and cursed after being woken up.

"Master Ge, have you ever heard that the time between Yin and Mao at night is when people are most sleepy and when their spirits are most fragile?"

"If the interrogation takes place at this time, no prisoner will be able to keep silent! Even if he is willing to die!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at the two people and muttered something to himself.

Hearing Zhu Yunxi's words, Ge Cheng was stunned for a moment. Thinking back on everything that happened tonight, he seemed to suddenly understand something. His eyes looking at Zhu Yunxi were no longer bored, but with a hint of shock.

Only at this moment did he realize that the pampered grandson in front of him was not a strong-willed person!

But then, Zhu Yunxi's next move once again made him confused.

Because Zhu Yunxi did not immediately start to interrogate the inside story behind the rebellion, but instead started chatting with the two people without saying a word. Even though the two people, like Ge Cheng at first, never looked at Zhu Yunxi seriously. At a glance...
