Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family

When Jia Jingtian appeared in front of Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge, his face was so dark that water could drip out of it. It was obvious that Mu Gu knew without thinking that Jia Jingtian must have hit a wall with Zhao Zhuo.

But out of a subconscious reaction, Jia Jingtian still forced a not-so-good smile when he saw Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge, and then greeted Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge.

Mu Gu nodded slightly, indicating that the person in front of him did not need to be so polite. Then he took Xiao Ruge to find a chair and sat down, then asked Jia Jingtian.

"What do you think? Is Zhao Zhuo just being stubborn and refusing to admit his mistake?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Jingtian couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Zhao Zhuo is not being stubborn..."

In fact, just by listening to Xiao Ruge talk about how she caught the man, Mu Gu knew that Zhao Zhuo was most likely a coward, so it was expected that he would not be tough.

"The key is that he is too afraid of things. He hesitated and spent a long time without being able to come up with a clear idea."

After Jia Jingtian finished speaking, his face was full of helplessness.

"Tell me in detail, what's the situation?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Jingtian nodded slowly, and then slowly began to tell the story.

"My guess is that the person behind Zhao Zhuo is very capable and can get his hands in even at the Dali Temple."

"That's why Zhao Zhuo didn't dare to speak easily, for fear of retaliation."

After thinking for a while, Xiao Ruge looked up at Jia Jingtian and gave her suggestion.

"Zhao Zhuo is such a timid person. Didn't Chief Jia scare him? I guess he would give up everything once he is scared enough."

After hearing this, Jia Jingtian sighed again.

"To be honest, ma'am, I tried it and it did work a little, but I guess the pressure wasn't enough. He relaxed for a moment and then stopped talking immediately."

Xiao Ruge frowned, still feeling that something was not right. Zhao Zhuo's contradictory reaction was too wrong, but now they hadn't seen the person yet, so it was too early to say anything.

Mu Gu glanced at Xiao Ruge from the side. No one knows a wife better than her husband. Mu Gu guessed Xiao Ruge's thoughts at once, and then turned his gaze back to Jia Jingtian.

"Chief Jia, take us to the dungeon. Let's meet this Zhao Zhuo."

Upon hearing this, Jia Jingtian also felt that since he had fallen into a deadlock, the appearance of the Seventh Prince and Madam Xiao could break the deadlock and make some new discoveries.

……

As soon as An Yishou finished speaking, he, with his extremely sharp hearing, heard several mixed footsteps coming from the road leading to the dungeon. An Yishou moved his ears and roughly judged that there were at least two people.

"Remember what I said. If you get it done, the master will not treat you unfairly."

Zhao Zhuo never dared to look up and just lowered his head in response to An Yishou's words. After seeing Zhao Zhuo's response, the latter did not stay and turned around and quickly disappeared into the dungeon.

Just when Zhao Zhuo was feeling uneasy, as An Yishou had just left, Jia Jingtian, Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge appeared in front of him.

Just as Mu Gu expected, Zhao Zhuo was a complete coward. He didn't even dare to raise his head to take a look when they walked in. He didn't believe that such a person could keep being stubborn for long.

Mu Gu signaled to the two people beside him with his eyes, then turned back and slowly walked towards Zhao Zhuo. The sound of his footsteps one after another not only hit the ground but also hit Zhao Zhuo's panicked heart.

"Zhao Zhuo."

As soon as Mu Gu's low and aggressive voice reached Zhao Zhuo's ears, he felt a chill of fear from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and then he began to tremble all over.

"I've heard what Chief Jia said. Why don't you take a look at your current situation? Think carefully about whether you should continue to insist on doing this in vain."

"..."

Seeing that Zhao Zhuo was standing with his head down and not moving, Mu Gu narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"You think if you don't tell us, we won't be able to find out?"

Mu Gu's words really made Zhao Zhuo raise his head uncontrollably. He looked at Mu Gu with eyes full of pleading and fear. After stammering for a while, he uttered a few words.

"I...I...don't want that. I want to live...If I tell you...I'll die..."

Because of the huge fear, Zhao Zhuo's language became confused, but Mu Gu could still understand the general meaning.

Mu Gu was secretly delighted. What he feared when interrogating a prisoner was that the prisoner would remain silent and protest with silence. As long as people started to speak, there would definitely be a breakthrough.

"I still say the same thing. Look at your current situation. You are now arrested and taken to the Dali Temple. Do you want to live? It's very simple. Confess everything you have done. Not only will Chief Jia protect you, but I, the seventh prince of the Dalong Dynasty, Mu Gu, will also protect you."

Mu Gu knew very well how to control people's hearts. Scaring people alone would not achieve the ultimate goal. By giving them a few sweet treats, he could make people convinced and tell him everything he wanted to know.

Zhao Zhuo widened his eyes in shock. The person who was talking to him was actually the prince of the current dynasty. Zhao Zhuo was shaken. If he could get close to the seventh prince of Dalong, it would be a suitable decision.

But the problem was that he didn't know this so-called Seventh Prince, nor did he know whether he should trust this person. As for his master, if the news of his rebellion reached his ears, there would be no way out for him.

Zhao Zhuo slowly lowered his eyes, falling into deep entanglement and hesitation, and Mu Gu did not rush him to make a decision. Instead, he moved a chair and sat in front of Zhao Zhuo, quietly waiting for Zhao Zhuo to make a decision with a smile on his face.

"Zhao Zhuo, think carefully. The promise that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince made to you is not something that ordinary people can accept."

Seeing this, Jia Jingtian quickly spoke up and added fuel to the fire, trying to put a little more pressure on Zhao Zhuo.

Zhao Zhuo's face twisted, as if he was struggling inside. After a long time, he slowly raised his head and looked at Mu Gu in front of him again, and slowly spoke with trembling lips.

"Okay... I'll tell you everything..."

Jia Jingtian looked at Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge in surprise, and his admiration for Mu Gu grew deeper and deeper.

Mu Gu raised his eyebrows and raised his hand to signal Zhao Zhuo to confess. The latter took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"The one who ordered me to assassinate Qin Yanwei was..."

"Xia Shijin."

Zhao Zhuo seemed to have used up all his strength before he could utter the name, and Xiao Ruge was also very surprised when she heard the name.

Xiao Ruge had an impression of this person. Xia Shijin was the Minister of Rites. She remembered this name when she and Mu Gu were analyzing the situation in the court.

In the analysis, this person has no stance and always remains neutral. Although he is not outstanding, he has not done anything out of the ordinary.
