Xuanyuan Po led Qi Ning to the backyard of the Shenhou Mansion. He saw a lonely stone house in the backyard. At each corner of the stone house, there was a Shenhou Mansion official guarding him with a sword. In front of the stone house, there were also two guards, one on the left and one on the left. Right protection, the defense can be considered very tight.
The snow was falling heavily, and a layer of snow had accumulated on the hats of all the guards, but no one took off the hats and shook them off.
"Master Marquis, this is an important interrogation place in the Shenhou Mansion. Extremely important suspects will be interrogated in this stone house." Xuanyuan Po explained: "The smell inside is a bit unpleasant. Master Marquis, is it...!"
"I am here under the orders of the emperor, so I cannot cut corners. Colonel Xuanyuan, please take me in and have a look." Qi Ning said with a smile.
Xuanyuan Po took the order and took Qining to the door of the stone house. He saw that the door of the stone house was an iron door. The guard bowed and saluted. Xuanyuan Po ordered the iron door to be opened and asked Qining to go in.
Inside this stone house, it was very dark. A rather narrow corridor led inside. After walking for a short distance, there was another iron door blocking it. Xuanyuan Po ordered it to be opened and walked forward for a moment. Walking into a small hall, I saw that the space inside was not very large, and it was extremely dark. Wall lamps were hung on the walls, and the lights were flickering. It was eerie and a bit scary.
Xuanyuan Po coughed, and someone had already come over to greet him. He cupped his hands and said, "See you, Lord Marquis!" But it was Han Tianxiao, the captain of Wenqu Academy.
Wenqu Captain Han Tianxiao looks quite ugly, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a thin body, but his eyes are very sharp, with a sharp light. Qi Ning has already seen this person, nodded slightly, and glanced inside, in the darkness , hearing the sonorous sound, he walked slowly over, and by the light of the lamp, he saw a person wearing iron shackles on his hands and feet, with a delicate figure. She turned out to be a girl. With just one glance, Qi Ning recognized it immediately. It is the little witch Anao.
Although he had some doubts about whether the person he caught was Anao, he was still a little surprised when he saw it with his own eyes.
Anao's bright eyes were a little surprised when she saw Qi Ning, and then she shouted: "Did you ask them to catch me?" Her pretty face was full of anger.
Qi Ning ignored it, turned to look at Han Tianxiao, and asked, "What will be the result of the trial?"
Han Tianxiao glanced at Xuanyuan Po and saw Xuanyuan Po nodded slightly. He cupped his hands and replied: "Reporting to the Marquis, the suspect is confused and does not cooperate with the interrogation. I am already preparing to punish him."
"The execution should have been carried out a long time ago." Qi Ning said angrily: "This kind of witch who refuses to confess should pull out her teeth one by one and then sprinkle some salt on the wound. Don't worry about her not confessing." .”
Anao changed his color slightly and said angrily: "You dare, you... you dare to touch a hair on my head?"
"You are chained by iron shackles. Life and death are in our hands. Why don't we dare?" Qi Ning looked at the little demon girl and sneered: "You have killed so many people. Don't even touch a hair of yours." Even if I cut off your body piece by piece with a knife, your sins will still be difficult to atone for."
Han Tianxiao said from the side: "Master Marquis, is it possible to carry out the punishment now?" He winked and saw that there were two other officials from the criminal department of the Shenhou Mansion in the small hall. They were tall and powerful, with sinister faces. A character who specializes in torture.
"Captain Han, I would like to know what the criminal punishment of Shenhou Mansion is like?" Qi Ning asked: "Can people live but not die?"
"Reporting to Lord Marquis, in addition to some very common punishments in Shenhou Mansion, over the years, I have also invented some punishments, which are internally called Nine Heavens!"
"Nine Heavens?" Qi Ning said with a smile: "This name is very interesting, how do you say it?"
Han Tianxiao said: "We have summarized the characteristics of various punishments. Although many punishments have different methods, they achieve the same goal by different means and have the same effect. It is inevitable to repeat them. The Shenhou Mansion has always been simple and direct in handling affairs, using the simplest methods. Methods to achieve the best results, Jiuchongtian refers to the nine punishments invented by the Shenhou Mansion. Each punishment has completely different effects, but it is enough to make the person who is punished regret coming to this world."
Qi Ning smiled and said: "Can you give a simple example?"
Han Tianxiao raised his hand and pointed to the corner, where there was a copper plate made of brass. At first glance, it looked like it was used for sleeping, but there were shackles on the side of the copper plate.
"Master Marquis, this is the gold shop in the Nine Heavens. It's not real gold, it's made of brass." Han Tianxiao talked about the punishment, his eyes flashed with a scary light, "You can burn charcoal under the gold shop. Put the prisoner on top, and then light a fire below. With the continuous heating, the prisoner can be roasted alive, and the prisoner's scream before death is very beautiful."
The little demon Anao's methods were also extremely sinister, but after hearing what Han Tianxiao said, her eyes were full of horror.
Qi Ning secretly thought that the torture in the Shenhou Mansion was really cruel, and the other nine punishments in Jiuzhongtian would naturally change people's faces.
"Can punishment be imposed at any time?"
Han Tianxiao immediately said: "Any kind of punishment can be carried out at any time."
Qi Ning nodded and said: "You go out first. I want to interrogate this girl alone to see what kind of punishment this little demon girl likes. Once we have discussed it with her, you can come in and carry out the punishment immediately."
Han Tianxiao was startled. Even Xuanyuan Po was a little stunned and couldn't help but said: "Master Hou...?"
Qi Ning didn't look back. He just looked at the little witch Anao who had changed a little. He took the gold medal and flashed it to the back. Xuanyuan Po and Han Tianxiao looked at each other and could only say yes. At that moment, other people in the stone house were Several people also shouted down, and in a moment, only Qining and Anao were left in the stone house.
Qi Ning was worried that someone was eavesdropping, so he checked around and made sure that no one was eavesdropping. Then he felt relieved, walked to Anau, pulled up a chair and sat down, looked at Anau up and down, and sneered: "How do you feel now?"
Anao said bitterly: "Let me go quickly, otherwise...!"
"Otherwise, what?" Qining said coldly before she could finish her words: "Otherwise, you will let me die without a burial place? You are a witch who has done all kinds of evil, and you are ruthless. If you fall into my hands this time, you will not be so comfortable. ." I looked around and saw coals burning in the corner with a red-hot iron rod on it. I walked over and saw a wooden handshake on the iron rod. She picked up the iron rod. When the little demon girl saw this, she knew something was wrong. Miao, said anxiously: "You... what are you going to do?"
Qining sat back in the chair, looked at Anao, and said with a smile: "You know it well, why do you need to ask more questions?" He leaned forward and said: "I ask a question, and you answer a question. If I say something wrong, I will burn you. what do you think?"
"If you...if you hurt a hair of mine, I guarantee that you will die without a burial place." Although Anao threatened, his voice was already crying: "What on earth are you asking?"
"Don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me." Qi Ning said fiercely: "Let me ask you, was it you who put a poisonous snake in my room last time?"
Anao said: "No!"
"Oh?" Qining chuckled, stretched out the iron rod, and poked it straight at Anao's face. Anao hurriedly retreated, but the iron shackles were heavy and it was inconvenient for her to step back. The iron rod was about to poke her face. Anao He screamed: "Don't... I said, it's... it's me!"
Qi Ning stopped his hand and sneered: "Are you trying to kill me?"
"No." Anao said immediately: "I didn't want to kill you, I know... I know Tang Nuo is at your home, and she can definitely help you detoxify. I just... just give her a try."
"Try her skills?" Qi Ning said angrily: "If she can't detoxify, won't I die in your hands?"
Seeing Qining's fierce look, Anao could only say: "It's my fault... I won't hurt you next time."
"Then why did you poison the disciples of the Beggar Clan?" Qi Ning lowered his voice and asked: "You are the disciple of the Jiuxi Poison King. Did the Jiuxi Poison King send you here? Besides you, did the Jiuxi Poison King send you here?" Did anyone else come over?"
"A disciple of the Beggar Clan?" Anao frowned and said, "Why do you all say that I want to harm the disciples of the Beggar Clan? I have no grudge against the Beggar Clan, so why do I want to provoke them again?"
"No grudge?" Qi Ning said coldly: "Do I have any grudge against you? Didn't you also want to harm me without asking any questions?"
Anao said: "I came to the capital to get the [Baicao Collection] from Tang Nuo, why would I bother the disciples of the Beggar Clan?"
"Are you still lying?" Qining stood up and pointed the iron staff at Anao, "I have been polite to you, but you are still here making mistakes. You have to know that if you don't confess honestly, there will be many punishments. , I must let you taste them all."
"I really don't." Anao blinked his beautiful eyes and said pitifully: "I didn't lie. Master told me that [Baicao Collection] is the most amazing treasure in the world. In the hands of Old Man Li, Old Man Li was so kind to Tang Nuo, so he must have passed the [Baicao Collection] to Tang Nuo, I... I also wanted to borrow it for a look, even the master doesn't know about it."
"Old man Li?"
Anao said: "Old man Li is Li Xigong. He... He and my master used to be brothers, but later they had a bad relationship and stopped communicating with each other. Li Xigong's medical skills are very good, and my master can't match him, but Old Man Li’s ability to use poison is not as good as my master’s. [Baicao Ji] was passed down from my master, and my master said that Old Man Li’s acquisition of [Baicao Ji] was a waste of natural resources, and he must get it back one day.”
Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that there was such a connection.
"You have certainly seen the epidemic spread in the capital." Qining said: "Are you trying to say that it has nothing to do with you?"
"None in the first place." Anao said: "I'm still thinking about who is so powerful and can poison so many people. Apart from the master, is there such a powerful person in the world?"
Qi Ning frowned and asked: "Are you saying that the poison was not caused by you, but that the Poison King of Jiuxi came to the capital?"
Anao shook his head and said: "It can't be the master."
"Why are you so sure?" Qining said in a deep voice.
Anao said: "Master is the Poison King of Xichuan. Since he is the Poison King, he will not use poison easily. Moreover, with Master's character, he will not poison those people."
Qi Ning sneered and said, "Your master thinks very highly of himself."
Anao was a little proud when he mentioned the Poison King of Jiuxi. He didn't care that he was still a prisoner, and said: "If the master can poison me, the enemy must be very powerful and worthy of the master. Those beggars are dirty and smelly. Their skills are so poor that the master won’t even look at them, let alone attack them.”
