Qing Jialu

Chapter 79

The long needle that had been tormented all night was finally taken out, and just as Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Shen Jia coming from the door carrying a tray.Breakfast was placed on the tray, a bowl of white porridge and a dish of green vegetables, very light.

"You didn't eat last night, so eat some porridge to pad your stomach." Shen Jia said, put the food on the low table, then put the table on the bed, and helped Xiao Yi get up to eat.

"I'm not hungry, you can eat." Xiao Yi pushed the porridge to Shen Jia's side, "You didn't eat last night."

Shen Jia frowned and said, "Yesterday, I saw that Ms. Kapok didn't leave any food for you?"

"She doesn't know when I'll be back, and she doesn't know if I've had dinner." Xiao Yi explained for Kapok.

"But Miss Kapok didn't ask you if you ate or not?" Shen Jia grasped the point with one word.

"She saw that I was injured, so why would she bother to ask?"

"Really?" Shen Jia asked with disbelief written all over his face, "Aren't you having a hard time eating dinner again?"

The two times he invited Xiao Yi to dinner, both were at noon, and he did not see Xiao Yi having dinner at night.

Xiao Yi stared at him innocently, "How come, Changqing, you are overthinking."

"I hope I'm thinking too much." Shen Jia stuffed the chopsticks into Xiao Yi's hands, "Eat quickly, I'll go back to the Yamen after you finish eating."

Xiao Yi felt guilty, so he had no choice but to eat honestly and practically.

Doctor Fan was not far outside the door at this moment, and almost laughed out loud after hearing the conversation in the room.Now that Shen Jia has become stronger, I am afraid His Majesty will not be able to suppress him anymore.

And the only person who could make His Majesty take medicine and eat on time was finally born.

When Shen Jia returned to the yamen, it was already in chaos.The officials below heard that the magistrate was assassinated last night, and they all came to the government office early in the morning.Shen Jia thanked his colleagues for their concern, and called the head arrester to answer, asking about the interrogation last night.

"Those little thieves were very stubborn. They beat the board and were tortured, but they didn't say a word." The head catcher said with a livid face, "My lord, the little ones are incompetent. I'm afraid that the punishment will be too heavy for them. If you die, you will be sent back to prison first."

"Thanks for your hard work, Chief Zhang." Shen Jia said, "Today I will interrogate in person, you should go and prepare."

Shen Jia changed into an official uniform and came to the cell where the prisoners were held.The previously majestic assassins were all tied to the torture rack at this time, each of them was downcast, no longer majestic.Shen Jia stepped forward to make a careful identification, and finally found the leader of the assassins among the blood-stained faces.

"What's your name?" Shen Jia asked.

"Zhao, Zhao Sheng." The assassin leader replied weakly.

"Who sent you to assassinate me?"

The corner of Zhao Sheng's mouth curled up into a smile, "Assassination? What assassination? I'm just a robber who robbed houses. I just want to steal money because you look good."

Shen Jia knew it was a lie as soon as he heard it, he had clearly heard the assassin call him "Master Shen".

"A bandit?" Shen Jia looked him up and down, "You are good at martial arts, and you still have a soft sword hidden with you. You say you are an ordinary bandit, who are you lying to?"

"My lord, villains dare not lie." Zhao Sheng said stubbornly, "If I had known that you were the magistrate, I would definitely not be blind and rob you."

"You clearly recognized me."

"Your memory is wrong, sir."

Shen Jia said again: "In Hangzhou, there are very few people who haven't seen this official."

"The black light is blind, I didn't see it clearly." Zhao Sheng quibbled, "Besides, I am a robber, and I always hide from the government. I have never seen the prefect Shen up close."

"My lord, this kid doesn't tell the truth, so it's better to use torture." Zhang Butou suggested from the side.

"The officer has always been unwilling to extract confessions by torture, and has been giving you a chance." Shen Jia looked at the leader of the assassins, "Since you don't know good from bad, then use torture."

Head catcher Zhang took the order and swung his whip at Zhao Sheng.

I only heard the sound of the whip hitting the flesh in the torture room, and the whip was whipped vigorously.However, Zhao Sheng is also a tough guy, he was beaten so hard, and he didn't even hear him scream.

Shen Jia didn't like this kind of bloody scene, so he turned around and left the torture room to get some air.

"Master Shen." Just as Shen Jia was wandering into the sky with his hands behind his back, someone suddenly appeared and called out.

"Oh?" Shen Jia was taken aback, and only then remembered that this person was Jin Yiwei sent by Xiao Yi to protect him.

The visitor was dressed in civilian clothes, with an unshaven face, he didn't look like a top expert at first glance, but like a farmer in the countryside.

"My lord, what advice do you have?" Shen Jia's words were very polite.He knew that the royal guards around the emperor were all chosen one in a million, so how dare he know people by their appearance.

"Your Majesty Shen, you're being polite. I'm serving as Wei Hanming's envoy of Jinyiwei." Wei Hanming introduced himself.

"It turned out to be Lord Zhen Fu Envoy, disrespect and disrespect." Shen Jia was in awe, but he didn't expect Xiao Yi to send a fourth rank to protect him.

He is just a fourth-rank magistrate, how can He De let the Zhenfu envoy be his "guard"?

Wei Hanming clasped his hands and said: "Don't dare not dare, Your Majesty has asked my subordinates to protect Your Excellency, and my subordinates should do my part."

Shen Jia asked worriedly: "Who is guarding His Majesty?"

"It's the Commander of Jin Yiwei." Wei Hanming replied.

"Your commander Jiang, is he not with His Majesty?"

"Commander Jiang and Eunuch Chen, who are in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies, are sitting in the middle of the capital and did not follow."

No wonder Shen Jia only saw two sisters, Mumian and Mujin. It turned out that Eunuch Chen and the others were left in the capital.

Just as Shen Jia was deep in thought, Wei Hanming said again: "Master Shen, I heard the interrogation just now, you are so soft-hearted, you won't get a result from the trial."

Shen Jia knew that Jin Yiwei's tactics were cruel, but no matter who they were in the imperial prison, they would obediently confess.Therefore, Jin Yiwei is a terrible existence in Wenchen's heart.

"I don't know what advice Mr. Wei has?" Shen Jia asked humbly.

"If your lord trusts me, why don't you let me have a try." Wei Hanming said.He is in charge of His Majesty's safety, and the assassination of His Majesty must be reported to Commander Jiang.If they didn't get the prisoner's statement, Commander Jiang would be furious.

That's why Wei Hanming was so kind and willing to help Shen Jia.Helping Shen Jia interrogate the prisoner is helping himself.

Shen Jia couldn't wish for it, and brought Wei Hanming back to the execution room again.Catcher Zhang and the others were exhausted from the beating, but the prisoner still didn't explain.

"Catcher Zhang, please rest first." Shen Jia said, "This is my guard, Wei Hanming, let him interrogate you."

Catcher Zhang looked suspiciously at Wei Hanming, he remembered this person, and it was this person who captured the assassin last night.But, are the current guards so powerful that they even interrogate prisoners?

But the next moment, Catcher Zhang no longer doubted it.Wei Hanming whipped a few times with a whip, and then heard the prisoner's cries of pain and begging for mercy.

It's amazing.Zhang Butou couldn't help but praised: "Master Shen, your guards are really powerful, where did you recruit them?"

Shen Jia: "..."
