C95 (1/2)
The person sitting on the ground raised his head, pursed his lips, then lowered his head.
”Bro, please be kind and save us, we really don't know who set the fire!”
The person on the ground no longer raised his head and only lowered his head to wipe away his tears. Actually, he didn't know why he was the only one who had nothing to do. He only repeated what he had done last night.
They let him go, but before they left they threatened to tell him not to say a word.
But he didn't understand. One of the five had been with him all night last night, so why was he fine?
Five more people were taken away, and everyone's eyes were focused on the boy who was kneeling on the ground, covering his crying face.
”Tell me!”
Seeing how scared he was, he probably wouldn't say a word.
The three corpses were right in front of their eyes. Moreover, they were all in the most tragic state of death, and even the air was stained with the smell of blood.
This didn't matter much to her, but for these new recruits who didn't have any actual experience, the impact was huge.
Even crying could no longer solve the problem. If it wasn't for the fact that his hands were tied to the chains and his legs were kicked off, the brat who came back would have probably been beaten to death by these people.
The room was as chaotic as a pot of boiling soup. Chu Yunge calculated in her heart, although she did not see a large number of soldiers, but everyone here, including the servants and maids, were most likely experts.
With so many experts gathered here, wouldn't it be better to look at them?
The sound of footsteps came again. The restless crowd and the iron chains quietened down for a moment, each and every one of them staring at the door.
One, two, three … Four!
There was another living being. When that brat came back, his expression was the same as before. He was in a trance and extremely terrified.
After a while, many different kinds of people rushed into the torture chamber. Just as she had expected, the servant girl and even the kitchen's head chef were there to press their way out.
A few of them, who had been tortured to the point of collapse, saw that it was the servant who was pressing them down and wanted to run away.
”Crack —” A maid embraced the man's neck and twisted half of his body to the left. A crisp sound was emitted from his neck, and the person in his arms immediately stopped breathing.
The remaining people who were running away were also taken care of by a few strikes.
This time, everyone was honest. Chu Yunge was very calm and collected as she was being suppressed.
Chu Yunge was pushed into a room.
The room was not large, but there was a row of people in front of it, including the Master whom she had just seen, standing on the ground with a pool of blood.
”Let me ask you, what were you doing last night?”
”Put out the fire.” It could not be simpler.
The corners of the old master's mouth curled up into a smile as wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes. ”Kid, your life is in my hands. Whether I kill you or not is just a matter of words. I advise you to answer honestly.”
Which of the people who came here weren't kneeling down and crying for their parents? Their noses were like rivers flowing through them.
However, she didn't even cry. She just continued to answer questions nonchalantly.
”I'm afraid you don't want an answer.” Using his toenails to think about it, it was impossible for there to be that many criminals. Killing so many just for the sake of killing chickens and honoring monkeys, letting everyone's mind collapse.
”Brat, do you want to die?” The old master said, ”Someone, help him.”
Chu Yunge raised her neck and closed her eyes. As long as she dared to come close, he would definitely not let him go back in one piece!
Standing beside him was a maidservant dressed in light pink robes. She raised the long sword by her side and slashed at Chu Yunge.
Chu Yunge remained unmoving, her hands clasped behind her back, as if she was a perfectly straight pine tree.
She could already feel the sword wind, but she still closed her eyes and held back.
The chill came, but suddenly he heard, ”Stop!”
Chu Yunge heaved a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart as she slowly opened his eyes. She looked at the sword right beside him with some disbelief, then turned her head to face the old master's eyes. ”You, why …”
”Master, I'm an interrogator, not a murder weapon.” The old master was obviously satisfied with Chu Yunge's surprised expression, ”Men, bring her down.”
Chu Yunge bit her lips, glistening teardrops appearing in her eyes, she was regretful: ”Sorry, I misunderstood you!”
”Take him away.”
Chu Yunge's glistening teardrops were brought down as she tightly clenched her fists. This kind of feeling of being able to casually play around and decide the life of others must be very pleasurable.
Chu Yunge was pressed down and walked to the backyard of the house, only then did she realize that she was deceived by the house's outer appearance.
This place was not as big as a mansion!
