Chapter 424 Interrogation (second update)
Ning Ze shook his head resolutely, he didn't want to do this job.
Don't talk about chopping off people's fingers, just thinking about it makes his hand hurt.
Feng Ling detested him, "You can't even do such a small job, and you begged my sister to let her promise to take you to Nanchu, what can you do?"
Ning Ze stopped talking.
Feng Ling tut tsk, "Being so careful is not ruthless enough, why don't you go to Nanchu, I'm afraid that if you enter the wolf's den, there will be no leftovers for a little sheep like you."
Hearing what he said, Ning Ze immediately gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go."
Isn't it just chopping off fingers? Maybe if he cuts off someone else's, his own won't hurt.
Feng Ling saw that he could be saved, not because the mud could not support the wall, so she waved to him, "Then go!"
Ning Ze looked at the stewed goose in the pot, feeling a little reluctant, "I'll eat two more."
Feng Ling: "..."
Fine!
Ning Ze is not like Feng Ling, he just wants to satisfy his cravings. After eating half a bowl of goose meat, he put down his chopsticks and said to Feng Ling, "I really went?"
"go."
"Are you really assured that I will go alone?" Ning Ze was a little uncertain.
Feng Ling rolled her eyes, "What is there to worry about? Didn't my sister accept you? You are one of your own, so you have to be sure of your identity, just like me."
Ning Ze was a little happy when he heard the words, the joy of being recognized and affirmed came out of his heart, he rubbed his hands and asked, "Then what am I going to judge?"
"Why did he come to Nanping for interrogation? How many soldiers and horses did the Pingxi General's Mansion in northern Hebei raise in private? Since Zhang Ping has collected half of the Nanchu Nangong family's wealth, how is he going to kill my sister? Where else is there a hidden stake?" Ning Ze casually said a lot, and said casually: "There are too many things to interrogate. You are not a three-year-old kid who doesn't understand anything. You should know what is most valuable for him to spit out."
Ning Ze nodded after thinking about it, and went with a sense in his heart.
In the dark prison, Zhang Mao was tied to a pillar, feeling extremely remorseful.
He regretted that he underestimated the enemy and Zhou Gu. He got the news from the capital, knowing that Zhou Gu came to Nanping, he wanted to kill Zhou Gu in Nanping, take him to sacrifice the flag, and also wanted the North Hebei Army to attack from the Nanping Marquis's Mansion first, and make the first cut about the court.
He entered the Eighteenth Village secretly, and the only people who knew his whereabouts were the confidantes of the Thirteenth Village Lord, and among them were the hidden stakes that he had buried in the Eighteenth Village. He thought he was safe and would not leak his news.
But he never expected that it was Zhou Gu and Ning Chi who led 30,000 soldiers and horses in a short period of time, found the secret path of the Eighteen Villages, and killed the Eighteen Villages.
Although 30,000 soldiers and horses are not many, they are enough to kill the Eighteen Villages, and the Northern Hebei Army behind him has not yet arrived.
Obviously Zhou Gu wanted to recruit peacefully. He was not in a hurry. He wanted to let Shibazhai vote to the court without bloodshed, but changed his mind in a short time. Chen Qi must have leaked the news about him in Shibazhai.
Zhang Mao closed his eyes, and the dungeon was dark. He felt that Zhou Gu didn't kill him, so naturally he wanted to threaten his father with him. But his father, he knows best, he has been ambitious for more than ten years, will he give up and be threatened because of his son?
impossible!
He is his most important legitimate son, yes, but he is not the only son.
He's always been conscious that he's not important enough to make his father do anything for him.
Can he escape from Zhou Gu and Su Rong?
He was afraid he couldn't do it.
What awaits him, no matter how he thinks about it, is a dead end.
He was thinking, when the door of the dark cell suddenly opened, and the dazzling light shone in, making him open his eyes involuntarily, and followed the light, looking towards the door.
It was Ning Ze who came in, he knew him.
After Ning Ze came in, he closed the door of the dark cell again, and the light in the dark cell suddenly dimmed again.
Ning Ze walked up to Zhang Mao, looked at Zhang Mao, and stared at him for a long time without speaking.
Zhang Mao also looked at Ning Ze. The first thing he stared at was Ning Ze's hand, which was missing three fingers. He didn't deliberately hide it in his sleeves, so he could see it at a glance.
He stared at Ning Ze's hand for a while, then looked at Ning Ze's face.
To be honest, he didn't expect that Ning Ze could enter this dark prison now. Although this is the secret prison of the Nanping Marquis Mansion, Ning Ze is destined not to be able to compete with Ning Chi, and the title of the Nanping Marquis Mansion will have nothing to do with him in the future. Since it cannot be contested, and since it has nothing to do with it, then he is imprisoned here, and it stands to reason that he is not eligible to come in.
But by chance, he came in, still alone.
He didn't believe that this secret prison was so loosely guarded that anyone could get in. The only explanation is that he was allowed in.
He didn't know why Ning Ze came, and waited for Ning Ze to speak.
Ning Ze's gaze also fell on Zhang Mao's hands. Zhang Mao was different from him in that he was both civil and military.
He stretched out his hand, and the broken finger reminded him of the pain at that time. Seeing Zhang Ping's gaze on his hand, he finally said to him, "Zhang Mao, do you know how my finger was broken?"
The news in Beijing, he thought, could not be hidden from General Pingxi's residence.
Zhang Mao nodded, "I know."
"So, you can do it. You can do whatever you can. If you don't want to cut off your fingers like me." Ning Ze looked at him seriously, "If you don't do it, you'll cut off all ten fingers. After cutting off the fingers, then cut off the toes. After cutting off the toes, I can do all the torture for you. Don't think that I will be soft when I am powerless."
Zhang Mao didn't speak.
Ning Ze sighed, "Do you think your bones are harder than mine? Don't bet that I won't do it."
As he spoke, he took out the dagger from his sleeve, looked at the tightly bound Zhang Mao, and seriously considered which finger to start with.
Zhang Mao naturally didn't feel that Ning Ze was joking with him. He could still tell whether a person was joking or serious.
Seeing Ning Ze's dagger approaching, he first chose the thumb of his right hand, and he suddenly asked, "Why?"
Ning Ze was puzzled, "Why?"
Zhang Mao asked: "Why are you here?"
Ning Ze let out an "oh" and kindly explained to him, "The task assigned to me."
"But why you?"
"Why can't it be me?" Ning Ze frowned, "You have so many words, none of which are useful. You want to delay time and wait for someone to save you? Let me tell you, it's impossible. The hidden stakes in this city have been pulled out by Miss Su Qi and Mr. Feng, and no one will come to rescue you."
Monthly pass, okay?
