Chapter 368 Do you know what this is?
Mu Ningyuan said directly: "She didn't say anything. The old woman was very stubborn. She has been tortured twice, but she still kept her mouth shut and just said she didn't know."
"The clues we got said that they did send the girl away. They also said that she was sent to a military camp."
"As for which military camp they were going to, they didn't know."
"They were planning to close down and return to Jiangnan recently. These girls were transferred from the Soul-Stirring House and the brothel in Suzhou. They didn't expect something unexpected to happen. They were completely caught off guard."
"The boss behind the scenes was indeed Boss Zhao, but he was being hunted down and has already escaped!"
Mu Ningyuan told all the useful information he got from the interrogation.
"Also, those foreigners who originally lived in the Land of Gentleness did not run away, but were silenced."
"The most important point is that they are now taking orders from a very mysterious person! This person is in the imperial capital, and usually it is Mother Qiu who goes to greet him."
Shen Yindi listened and frowned slightly.
"It seems that we still have to pry open Mother Qiu's mouth to get more useful information." She said thoughtfully.
After a moment's silence, she suddenly suggested, "Master Mu, why don't I go there with the prince at noon and personally interrogate that Mother Qiu. I want to see if she is tougher with her words or with my methods?"
As she spoke, a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes.
Mu Ningyuan agreed readily.
"Okay, thank you Miss Adi."
"If Qi'er wants to go with me, Lord Mu, do you think I should take her with me?" Shen Yindi knew Qi'er too well. If she knew, she would definitely want to go with me.
"Take it with you. Qi'er is not an outsider."
Shen Yindi had a sly smile on his face: "Yes, it should be my wife now!"
Lord Mu felt a little embarrassed, but he did not deny it. In his heart, Qi'er was his wife.
After Mu Ningyuan finished speaking, he stood up and said goodbye to them. He was going to see Si Qi and then return to the Dali Temple.
Shen Yindi was right. Si Qi was indeed still sleeping at this moment, and he was sleeping very soundly.
She was drunk last night and probably wouldn't wake up until noon.
I don’t know what kind of beautiful dream I had, but there was a faint smile on the corner of my mouth.
Her cheeks were flushed, her skin was white and rosy, and her skin was so smooth that it looked very attractive.
He sat beside her and watched her carefully for a while, and couldn't help but kissed her forehead.
Being with her now doesn't feel real enough. I'm worried that it's just a dream.
Fortunately, it's all true.
Mu Ningyuan didn't wake her up and let her sleep peacefully. They could see each other at noon anyway.
Si Qi woke up near noon.
Shen Yindi told her that Mu Ningyuan came to see her in the morning, and Si Qi was very happy.
I feel a little shy, but compared to being happy, this little bit of embarrassment is nothing.
She is a person who doesn't care about details.
Shen Yindi then told her that they would go to the Dali Temple to interrogate the prisoner later.
After hearing this, Si Qi became excited instantly.
"Adi, I want to go too!" As Shen Yindi expected, she expressed her thoughts directly.
Shen Yindi was waiting for her to say this.
"Of course you can. Lord Mu specifically said he wanted to bring you along. You are not an outsider."
"That's right, our Qi'er is not an outsider at all, she is clearly an insider."
Si Qi's face turned a little red. Even an eagle-like girl couldn't stand such teasing!
"Hey, Adi, stop teasing me!" She grabbed Shen Yindi's forearm, shook it gently, and said coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, okay, it's rare to see our Qi'er being shy, so I won't say anything. But what Lord Mu said is not wrong."
"Let's go after lunch. Today's goal is to pry open Mother Qiu's mouth!" Shen Yindi vowed and was determined to do it.
"It will definitely work!" Si Qi was also very confident!
After lunch, they set off.
The palace was quite far from the Dali Temple, so they had to take a carriage.
Chu Yan asked Zou Cheng to go with him, and as for Yan Shu, he asked him to stay at home to protect Chu Yun.
After all, they were all out, leaving Chu Yun alone in the house, which would be unsafe. Shen Yindi was not worried.
After about an incense stick of time, they finally drove to the Dali Temple.
Those people were imprisoned in the dungeon.
After the officer outside went in to report, Mu Ningyuan came out quickly with fast steps, and the first thing he did was look at his Qi'er.
"Brother Mu, have you eaten?" Si Qi was as enthusiastic and lively as before.
After kissing him, I felt that their relationship became much closer.
Si Qi couldn't help but hold Mu Ningyuan's hand and rubbed his shoulder affectionately.
Mu Ningyuan squeezed her hand and said, "I have eaten. Qi'er drank so much last night. Do you have a headache today?"
The tone in which Lord Mu spoke to her was so gentle that it made water drip out of her.
"No headache, Adi's hangover medicine is very effective!"
Shen Yindi looked at their affectionate appearance and an auntie smile appeared on her face that was hard to conceal.
so good!
Seeing them together, I feel happy with them.
But I didn't come here today just to see them being annoying.
There are more important things to do!
Mu Ningyuan was obviously very sensible and took them in immediately.
He held Si Qi's hand the whole time and mentioned to them, "Someone tried to sneak into the dungeon two days ago, probably to kill the people in Wen Rou Xiang, but he was discovered and ran away very quickly, so he was not caught."
Chu Yan said in a low voice: "It seems that these people do have some useful information. Otherwise, they wouldn't come to the dungeon to silence them."
"I must find out today." Shen Yindi is very confident in himself.
Soon, Mu Ningyuan took them to the dungeon, which was really heavily guarded.
Chu Yan was still wearing a mask and Shen Yindi was wearing a veil.
The guarding officers and soldiers also knew their identities.
Except for a few important people, everyone else was locked up together.
This way, no matter who is sent for interrogation, it will have a good deterrent effect when they come back.
Mother Qiu was held in solitary confinement.
Mu Ningyuan took them to her cell.
No one was even asked to bring her to the interrogation place.
Shen Yindi said it was not necessary. He could still be interrogated in the cell.
Mu Ningyuan said before that she had been tortured twice and her body was covered with scars.
There were injuries of varying degrees on the hands, feet, and face.
It does look miserable, but even so, she hasn't confessed yet. She is really stubborn.
In fact, Mu Ningyuan has other means, but he hasn't had time to use them yet.
Since Miss Adi asked her to give it a try, he would naturally fulfill her wish.
At this time, Mother Qiu was awake.
Just lying in bed, unable to move.
When she saw them come in, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes.
"Mother Qiu, we came to see you today. If you can answer our questions honestly, you can avoid a lot of pain. Otherwise, tsk tsk, I'm afraid you will be neither able to live nor to die."
Shen Yindi took out a small box, opened it and showed it to her, with an unfathomable smile on her face: "Do you know what this is?"
