Seen Nothing Like This Chapter 5

At first glance, this room is not much different from other rooms.

At most, the window paper is thicker, the roof beams are lower than elsewhere, and the light is dim, so candles are lit in the room in broad daylight, making it feel a bit depressing.

In addition, the furnishings are all complete and look very new. Even the gaps between the cabinet legs on the floor do not have the rough edges caused by years of friction.

Julian Cui glanced briefly and said, "No one lives here, right?"

Sterling Feng smiled slightly and said: "It is for people to live in. It's just that it used to be the side room where the slaves lived. I had people rearrange it. It will be used as the torture chamber of Jiejian Mansion for the time being."

Faced with such a naked threat, Julian Cui said: "Your Excellency, do you want to torture me?"

Sterling Feng squatted down and looked at him levelly: "Look, your reaction is not like an innocent ordinary person at all. How can I not doubt you?"

Julian Cui said helplessly: "You are reasonable after all. Do you think you will let me go if I cry out for injustice now? Even if the Qin family has anything to do with Zixia Temple, it is still the Zixia Temple in the past. I don't care about it at all." I know that woman! You must have searched Zixia Temple, did you find anything suspicious?"

Sterling Feng said: "There is a more popular Baiyun Temple in this city. Why don't you go there?"

Julian Cui: "I would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. The Zixia Temple is in ruins and waiting to be revitalized. If I support it, I will have the final say in the future. It is better to be more comfortable than relying on others. This truth does not need to be explained. Bar?"

Sterling Feng shook his head: "It's unreasonable. Two months ago, Linlang Pavilion just released the news that this year's auction would be held in the Liugong City branch. It was neither early nor late. You just came at this time. What a coincidence. People are suspicious. The Khotan envoy is dead, and the Qin family is missing. Maybe the treasure will appear in Liugong City after a walk. Why are you here, Qin family? Where? Zixia Temple, or at the auction in Linlang Pavilion? "

Julian Cui: "Your words make it even more difficult for me to understand."

Sterling Feng: "It doesn't matter. Just think about it here. When you figure it out, tell me."

Julian Cui said: "My health has never been very good. I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand any severe torture."

Sterling Feng said meaningfully: "Do you think physical pain is the most difficult thing in the world?"

After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked out without waiting for Cui to answer.

Cedric Pei glanced at Cui Bugua and followed closely behind.

In a short time, everyone in the room was cleared.

A few candles went out, and as soon as the door was closed, the room immediately became dark.

Immediately, the windows that were set up outside were also pulled down. I don't know what Sterling Feng ordered, and each window was sealed with several layers of black gauze on the outside, completely blocking out the little light.

At this moment, the house was completely invisible. Not to mention the footsteps outside, not even a trace of insects or birds could be heard.

The quiet night brings deep thoughts, and many literati feel sad, but that is the quietness accompanied by the pines, wind and bright moon. Once the silence reaches the extreme, it becomes an extremely scary thing.

The moment Julian Cui closed the door, his face turned cold, no longer showing the helplessness and anger he had just shown.

When the window was covered with black veil, he even let out a light sigh.

Cui Bu went to know what the other party wanted to do.

When all five senses are lost, people in extreme silence and boredom will easily have random thoughts and become confused.

Say---This is a gorgeous dividing line---

No one speaks, even if you shout, you will only hear your own echo. You don’t know whether it is day or night outside. It’s okay for one or two days, but by the fourth or fifth day, or even ten days and a half month later, it’s all gone. You will forget the passage of time, and in the end you will not know whether you are alive or dead, whether you are in the world or hell.

No matter how stubborn a man is, under such silent torture, he may end up crying and begging for mercy.

Julian Cui had seen with his own eyes that a man who was good at double swords and well-known in Jiangdong martial arts was forced to stay in this kind of house for half a month. When he came out, he was covered with scars, which were all made by himself. He could only feel that he was still alive through the pain of self-inflicted wounds.

Killing without blood, Jie Jian Mansion is full of this method.

Now, such methods are used on Julian Cui.

Sterling Feng must have already made up his mind that no matter how weird Julian Cui was, it would be absolutely impossible for him to survive in this kind of house for half a month. When the time comes, he would naturally answer all questions, and it would be clear at a glance whether it was true or false.

Julian Cui picked up the mat, groped around the house, found a pillar, and sat down cross-legged with his back against it.

He doesn't know martial arts, but he has also learned some health-preserving skills of breathing and breathing. He closes his eyes and starts practicing repeatedly in a cycle, letting his mind empty out and discarding all distracting thoughts.

Although some monks and Taoists can stay in meditation for several days or even ten days, after all, they are masters who have practiced profoundly in all four elements since childhood. Ordinary monks are incomparable, let alone ordinary people wallowing in ten feet of soft red.

Even he himself didn't know how long Julian Cui could endure, but he knew that Sterling Feng would definitely not let him go so easily.

Jie Jian Mansion will not only have this means.

...

"Lang Jun, it's been three days." Cedric Pei put down a pot of new tea and said.

"Well, what three days?" Sterling Feng was looking down at the news coming back from Qiemo City, and answered casually.

"That Guanzhu Cui has been in that room for three days. He doesn't know martial arts. If he stays here any longer, something might happen." Cedric Pei reminded.

"You yourself have had a lot of lives on your hands, why do you suddenly feel pity for a Taoist priest?" Sterling Feng raised her head and glanced at him.

Cedric Pei said unjustly: "Aren't you afraid of ruining your important matter? Since this person is suspicious, if he dies, wouldn't an important clue be lost?"

Sterling Feng didn't answer him and handed over the letter in his hand.

Cedric Pei took it, read it carefully, and exclaimed: "It is indeed the Tianchi jade gallbladder! In order to please His Majesty, he sent troops to help him deal with the Turks. The King of Khotan has spent a lot of money this time!"

Sterling Feng: "Preston Yuchi is dead. The King of Khotan will send another envoy here, but the case must be investigated clearly and the jade gall must be found."

Cedric Pei smiled and said: "If this case is solved, I'm afraid you will not be able to avoid Princess Xiangguo at all. Now your original intention of leaving Beijing is not the same..."

Before he finished speaking, he was glanced lightly by Sterling Feng's eyes and almost bit his tongue. He quickly stopped his laughter and said seriously: "My subordinates judge that Qin's disappearance is related to Yu Dan. If you find her, you should be able to find Yu Dan." "Courage."

The jade gall disappeared outside the city. The murderer could only go to two places with the jade gall, either into Liugong City or directly to Qiemo City.

But if it leads to Khotan, going there means going back. It is impossible for the other party to hide in the wild with the treasure. The most likely way is to lie dormant in Liugong City, take advantage of the Linlang Pavilion auction, and then put on a slight disguise. , transport it out via the open road.

Cedric Pei said: "Now there are three clues related to the Qin family. Yu

Say---This is a gorgeous dividing line---

No strange things have been found in the Buddhist temple for the time being. It is probably just used by the Qin family to confuse the public. At Zixia Temple, my subordinates led people to search several times, but there was nothing suspicious. Only the aunt's house where Qin Miaoyu stayed before, It has been found that her aunt's family moved to Jincheng. A fire broke out in Jincheng half a month ago. It was found that it was caused by the autumn dry weather and children accidentally playing with fire. Six members of her aunt's family also died in the fire. Coincidentally, when their family died, it was probably when Preston Yuchi set off from Khotan and came to the Central Plains. "

After a pause, and seeing that Sterling Feng didn't interrupt, he continued: "So my subordinates suspect that Qin Miaoyu's identity should be fake from beginning to end. She is deliberately planning to win Preston Yuchi's attention and compete with her. He went to Khotan together and approached Tianchi Yudan. "

Sterling Feng said: "She has been Preston Yuchi's Elise for four or five years. How could she have expected four or five years ago that the King of Khotan would definitely send Preston Yuchi as an envoy to the Central Plains this time?"

Cedric Pei was stunned for a moment, then realized the mistake in his thinking: "Then, could it be that the real Qin Miaoyu was replaced after Yuchi confirmed his mission?"

If the death of the envoy from Khotan is to be blamed on the Sui Dynasty, the best option would be to let Preston Yuchi die in the post house prepared for him by the Sui Dynasty and steal the jade gallbladder, so as to maximize the dissent between the Sui Dynasty and Khotan. Relationship.

But in this case, as Preston Yuchi's favorite Elise, Mrs. Qin will inevitably have to go to the city and deal with relatives and friends in Liugong City. Her identity is very likely to be exposed, but the person who is most likely to expose her must be her former self. Qin's aunt's family, so Qin's aunt must die.

Maybe there was a change in the plan, which forced the Qin family to take action outside the city. Maybe the person who carried out the robbery and killing was not from the same group as the Qin family. This case was so confusing that even they couldn't clear it up for a while.

Cedric Pei said: "In accordance with your instructions, my subordinates have asked County Magistrate Zhao to limit the number of people entering and leaving the city gate every day, and personally lead people to search there carefully, and will not allow them to be disguised. However, over at Linlang Pavilion, there are There's some trouble."

Sterling Feng frowned slightly: "What's the trouble?"

Cedric Pei smiled bitterly: "Behind Linlang Pavilion are members of the Longxi Li family and the Boling Cui family, and they are also backed by Princess Leping. Your Majesty has always felt guilty about Princess Leping and indulged her a lot. As you know, I'm afraid the murderer intends to take advantage of this. Mix the jade gall into this auction and then take it out of the city openly. "

Sterling Feng stood up and sneered: "What about Princess Leping? We have to obey our father and brother and go with the flow. When will the Linlang Pavilion auction start?"

Cedric Pei said: "Tomorrow, my subordinates have ordered people to secretly watch their every move. If there is anything suspicious at the auction, they will be detained immediately."

Sterling Feng: "Preston Yuchi and his entourage died outside the city. It's impossible for them not to have heard about such a big event. They will only act with extra caution. You..."

Before he finished speaking, an attendant from the Jiejian Mansion hurriedly entered from outside.

"Mr. Lang, there was a fight at the Ruyi Inn and someone was killed! County Magistrate Zhao has sent someone over. Please come and take a look first."

In an ordinary murder case, there is no need to alert Jie Jian Mansion. Magistrate Zhao will come to find him. This can only mean that he cannot afford to offend the two parties in the murder case and wants to invite Sterling Feng, the giant Buddha, to take charge.

Sterling Feng hummed: "I'll go over."

Cedric Pei hurriedly asked for instructions: "Mr. Lang, wait a minute. If Cui Guanzhu still refuses to surrender, what should we do with him?"

Sterling Feng said: "Give him some Naihe incense."

Cedric Pei looked surprised and hesitant: "What if he can't stand it..."

Sterling Feng: "It doesn't matter if a person dies, as long as he can breathe."

His face was pale, with a hint of coolness but not at all.
