“Don’t, wait! I know that Su Jin has a lover who is the manager of a medicine shop on Tong Da Street.” Doctor Song shouted.
That suffocating feeling tortured him so much that his three souls and seven spirits were about to leave his body. He really did not want to try that again.
Su Jin looked at Doctor Song with hatred, but she didn’t say anything.
When Gu Chengrui saw this, he looked at her thoughtfully. It seemed that her lover was quite important to her.
The key was that she was even more composed than Doctor Song. It made him feel like she was the master and Doctor Song was the servant.
This made him recall that spy organization from the Marquis of Ding’an Residence. It looks like there was a fish that slipped through the net.
At the same time, the alarm in his heart sounded. It seemed that King Hui wanted his life.
“Catch him.” The judge turned around and said.
Immediately, a soldier ran out. An hour later, the soldier brought back a man covered in wounds. “Sir, the manager of the medicine shop somehow found out that the Song Residence was raided. When we arrived, he was on the run.”
“A fight broke out between us. Just as we were about to capture them alive, he took poison and committed suicide. We could only bring back his a.s.sistant and the bag he packed.”
After one of the officers finished speaking, he handed a bag to the judge.
After the judge took the bag, he looked at the prison guard and said, “Let’s interrogate him properly.”.
Then, he looked at the soldiers and said, “You can return and treat your injuries. You can just pa.s.s on the medical fees to the medical center.
“Oh right, remember to inform a team of soldiers to come here, too.”
“Yes.” The soldiers left after saying that.
The judge was not in a hurry to interrogate the shop a.s.sistant. Instead, he opened the bag and carefully rummaged through it. Other than clothes, there were only more than 10,000 taels of silver in it.
There was nothing else. If he hadn’t committed suicide, they would have suspected that they were overthinking.
“Do you have anything to say?” The judge stood up and looked at the shop a.s.sistant.
“I, I don’t know anything.” The shop a.s.sistant looked at them with a face full of fear, and even his body began to tremble.
“I’ll ask you again. Is there anything you want to say? Or do you want to try all the torture tools here?” The judge asked sternly.
After saying that, he pointed at the torture device behind him.
The young man turned his head and saw the blood-stained frame, the whip, and the hot branding iron in the fire. His legs went weak, and he peed his pants.
” I… I really don’t know,” he said hurriedly. “But… but I saw him hide a booklet in a square table in the main room.”
When Su Jin heard it, she wanted to kill the shop a.s.sistant. However, she was stopped by the prison guard. “How did he hide it?”
“I only realized today that the top of the square table comprises two layers. If I hadn’t seen him open it, I wouldn’t have noticed.”
After hearing this, the judge handed the bag to the magistrate and personally led his men to the medicine shop.
When he entered, he was about to see a person dressed in government office attire taking out a booklet. He immediately led his men and pounced on him. “Hold him down. Check if he has poison in his teeth.”
Sure enough, he found a poison sac in that person’s mouth.
The judge immediately went forward and took the booklet. There was a list of about ten people on it, and he was shocked to find there were two in his residence alone.
He looked at the bailiff, who was detained. “Very good. You guys are really bold. You even have spies in my residence.”
After saying that, he first ordered his men to arrest the people on the list and return to the prison to begin a new wave of interrogation..
