361. Interrogation(1/2)
A dim light was lit in the dark secret room.
Lu Zhe looked at Xuan Si slowly awakening and sneered, "Tell you a sad news that your beloved disciple Meng Xian is dead."
Xuan Si felt weak all over, and his dantian was aching faintly. He knew that Lu Zhe must have poisoned her.
At that time, Xuan Si used a poison needle to shoot the horse in the eyes, causing the horse pulling the cart to go crazy. The cart fell from the mountain, and she knew that Meng Xian was inside.
So Xuan Si did not show any surprise when Meng Xian died, but said contemptuously, "That idiot, if he dies, he will die. I just treat her as a fun thing."
"What fun? Do you also like Mr. Lan Yu and want to use Meng Xian to destroy his relationship with my cousin?" Lu Zhe snorted coldly.
Xuan Si looked at Lu Zhe coldly, "I thought you weren't that stupid."
Lu Zhe was not angry or annoyed, "Just kidding, since you don't like it, then let's talk about the serious matter?"
"I have nothing to talk to you! I advise you not to be smart. I want to see Rong Lan. If you dare to obstruct you, you will definitely regret it!" Xuan Si said coldly.
When Lu Zhe heard this, he nodded, "To be honest, I am living so comfortable now that I am leaning on my cousin's big tree. I almost forgot what it feels like to regret it. Since you don't want to talk to me, then save some talk and let's talk in another way."
After Lu Zhe finished speaking, the flames danced behind him. It was a burning brazier with a red-burning soldering iron on it.
The rich red light shone with a creeping blood. Xuan Si's body trembled for a moment, and his face turned pale, "Lu Zhe, do you dare?!"
"In addition to this, there are those on the walls, all the treasures I have collected since I was a child." Lu Zhe introduced to Xuan Si with great interest.
Xuan Si looked up and saw that the wall behind the brazier was hung with all kinds of torture instruments, whips, chisels, plywood, knives, iron cones, ropes... were all very clean, as if they had never been used before, but under the reflection of the fire, there was a cold light that made people feel terrified.
Lu Zhe looked sad and began to recall the past, "Since you know who I am, you should know something about me. It turns out that I am very depressed because I have few hands and are always ridiculed and sarcastic in public and secretly. I still remember the faces of those who have scolded me. I collected these treasures one by one. I originally planned to catch the people I remembered one day without knowing it, and watching them kneel in front of me crying and begging for mercy. I really like that scene. Unfortunately, those people are not as good as me now, and I don't even bother to look at them again. But I keep these treasures, and I finally have the opportunity to come in handy tonight, which is really happy."
Lu Zhe said, picked up the soldering iron, turned around and looked at Xuan Si, approached, gestured around her, with an evil smile on her face.
"Lu Zhe, if you do this, if Rong Lan knows, you won't let you go!" Xuan Siqiang pretended to be calm and said sternly, but her flashing eyes still exposed her panic.
Lu Zhe raised his eyebrows, "It's ridiculous. You instigated Meng Xian to disgust my cousin behind your back, but you kept saying that my aunt wouldn't let me go? I did nothing. Now I'm clean and a good husband and a good father. I get along well with my cousin. My aunt is nice to me, so you don't have to worry about this bitch who comes from somewhere."
Lu Zhe was clearly forcing Xuan Si to tell her identity, or the identity she wanted to disguise.
But Lu Zhe did not give Xuan Si a chance to speak. As soon as he finished speaking, the iron in his hand suddenly fell on Xuan Si's head. With a shrill scream, the strange sound of his hair was burnt, and an unpleasant smell filled the air. On Xuan Si's originally black and thick hair, a burnt scalp instantly appeared, which was extremely ugly.
"Although I don't know why you pretend to be a nun, maybe I'll be in a good mood next time and will let you see my aunt. Now I'll help you shave it, so that you can even wear a hat, which will easily make people suspicious." Lu Zhe said with malicious intentions on his face, and without hesitation, he waved his red soldering iron on top of Xuan Si's head.
Xuan Si couldn't help but shouted "Stop", but Lu Zhe ignored it.
Rong Yuancheng did not enter the secret room. At this moment, he was standing next to the bookshelf at the entrance of the secret room. He was holding a book written by Mr. Lan Yu in his hand and was reading it carefully. Rong Yuancheng was not surprised that there were Su Mo's books in Lu Zhe's study. Since Lu Zhe pretended to be Mr. Lan Yu to deceive Meng Xian, he must have done his homework in advance with his personality. Now these books are still left, and there are traces of reading on them. Rong Yuancheng does not think that Lu Zhe likes to read it. He thinks that Lu Zhe should have deepened his understanding of Su Mo by reading these books after learning that Mr. Lan Yu is Su Mo.
Rong Yuancheng was right. Although the two of them had a bad relationship as cousins who grew up together and even had a good time, it was precisely because of this that they both knew each other well.
Rong Yuancheng never felt that Lu Zhe chose to be a good person. Good and evil are not the primary considerations of Lu Zhe. Interest is the only one, and now it is the same.
Rong Yuancheng would not suspect that Lu Zhe would stab them one day because Lu Zhe was smart enough. Lu Zhe's attitude towards Jun Lingxin made Rong Yuancheng start to think about it now. Perhaps Lu Zhe is really changing, but he himself may not realize it.
Lu Zhe has read all these books. The original intention was to understand Su Mo so that he could better manage his relationship with Su Mo and Yuan Qiu. He did a good job. If Rong Yuancheng asked Lu Zhe how well these books were written, Lu Zhe would definitely praise Su Mo sincerely, because Su Mo's life experience gave him great inspiration.
Rong Yuancheng looked through the book in his hand, listened to the movements coming from the secret room, his eyes were as calm as before. Xuan Si must have never imagined that her handwriting deliberately imitated her to make the real one, but she met Rong Yuancheng, an expert, and saw the flaws.
The handwriting is not up to par, it is obviously a careful imitation. In addition to the law that Yuan Qiu said, "The bad guy is definitely not the Rong family." Rong Yuancheng has concluded that the woman inside was deliberately impersonating Feng Jinbao's biological mother.
But it is important to find out the origin of this woman. Feng Jinbao's portrait when he was young is not fake, so why did it come into the hands of this woman? Has she ever contacted Feng Jinbao's real mother? Is Rong Hao's wife still alive? Does this woman know that Rong Hao's son is alive and is now in the Rong family? How did she know that Mr. Lan Yu is Su Mo? What did she mean by pretending to be Rong Hao's wife?
In short, there are many questions about this matter from beginning to end, which is what Rong Yuancheng and Lu Zhe want to find out now.
He didn't tell the others in the family that Rong Yuancheng did not deliberately conceal it because there was nothing that could not be said. It was just that the whole family was having fun during the Chinese New Year. He didn't want these messy people to affect everyone's mood.
"Stop! I am..." Xuan Si finally couldn't stand the burning scalp, the almost burnt hair, and the soldering iron that Lu Zhe sneered and wanted to slap her face, and shouted sharply.
Lu Zhe's hand stopped, "Speak again."
"I am a member of the Western Liaorong family!" Xuan Si looked embarrassed and said as he looked at Lu Zhe with gritted teeth.
"Oh?" Lu Zhe raised his eyebrows, turned around and put the soldering iron back into the brazier, "The family of the Western Liao Rong family? Apart from my aunt, have they all died long ago? Who are you? The maid who was in the West Liao Rong family back then?"
Lu Zhe's words are not very harmful and extremely insulting.
Xuan Si's face turned pale with anger, "I am Rong Lan's sister-in-law!"
Lu Zhe turned around and smiled, "If you are Rong Lan's sister-in-law, then I can realize my dream of life ideal and be Rong Lan's biological son."
Lu Zhe is absolutely sincere in this statement. He has been envious and jealous of Rong Yuancheng since childhood. He has felt that God is unfair countless times and fantasized how happy he would be if he was Rong Lan's own son? Now Lu Zhe is working hard to narrow the gap between him and Rong Lan's sons, and thinks that in Rong Lan's heart, he can at least have the title of godson.
Xuan Si glared at Lu Zhe, and Lu Zhe snorted coldly, "Rong Lan's brother and sister-in-law have died long ago. I have investigated this matter. Even her only nephew couldn't escape, let alone you?"
Lu Zhe was still clichéd in no trace. When talking about Rong Lan's brother, sister-in-law and nephew, he was forcing Xuan Si to say more useful information.
"What do you know?" Xuan Si's face was distorted, "Rong Lan has more than one brother! She also has a righteous brother who grew up with her since childhood, named Rong Hao! If you don't believe me, go and ask her!"
Lu Zhe was stunned for a moment, "Rong Hao... seems to have heard of it, but he had already left the Rong family and disappeared. Could it be that you are Rong Hao's wife?"
Xuan Si said coldly, "That's right!"
"Oh? Where is Rong Hao?" Lu Zhe asked curiously.
"Die!" Xuan Si's eyes cold.
"It sounds like you hate him? Did you kill him?" Lu Zhe smiled slightly.
"I hate him, but he was not killed by me!" Xuan Si said coldly, "He died to save the only bloodline of the Rong family!"
Lu Zhe rubbed his forehead, "What are you talking about... Since you are willing to explain, let me know clearly what's going on. If you can convince me, I might consider letting you go, or..." Lu Zhe paused, his eyes were terrifying, "We may have the possibility of cooperation."
Xuan Si looked at Lu Zhe, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then sneered, "I knew that you are not a good person, and loyalty to Rong Lan is not sincere! I shouldn't look for that idiot Meng Xian, I should come to you!"
Lu Zhe hummed softly, "It's too early to say this. You have to let me see your value, otherwise, I won't have the courage to offend my aunt and cousin."
"Rong Hao has left the Rong family long ago because he fell in love with me and wanted to wander around the world. This is what I originally thought, but later I found out that everything is fake!" Xuan Si clenched his fists and his voice was low. "The real reason for him leaving the house is that he fell in love with Rong Lan, but the engagement between Rong Lan and Ji Xu cannot be changed. He does not want to cause trouble to Rong Lan, does not want to cause trouble to the family, and cannot control his feelings. He chose to escape and exile himself, and I am just a tool for him to try to forget Rong Lan and deceive himself!"
Lu Zhe looked inexplicably, "Is there such a thing? However, although I don't know Rong Hao, I am not surprised that he and Rong Lan will love Rong Lan deeply."
Xuan Si was even more angry when she heard this, "But what did I do wrong? I fell in love with Rong Hao at first sight, but in the end I found that I would never surpass Rong Lan's position in his heart!"
Lu Zhe sighed slightly, "If this is the case, you are really pitiful, but then again, you are really not comparable to Rong Lan and cannot replace Rong Lan's position in Rong Hao's heart. Isn't this normal? Since you fell in love with Rong Hao first, you have gotten him, so you should be content. Don't be too greedy."
Xuan Si's eyes were so angry that she turned red, "Shut up! You don't know anything at all!"
Lu Zhe shrugged, "I really don't understand what love love, and I'm not interested. But it would be crazy if you kill Rong Hao because of this."
"I said, it was not me who killed me! He was seeking death by himself!" Xuan Si said sternly, "When something happened to the Rong family, he exchanged our son and Rong Lan's nephew, and personally sent our child to death! Then he was chased and lost his life!"
Lu Zhe looked surprised, "It's true or false? You can't read too many books by Mr. Lan Yu, and you have learned to make up stories out of nothing, right? I don't believe it. Unless you tell me that Rong Lan's nephew was rescued and is still alive, and it's proven that he is real."
"He fell off the cliff with Rong Hao back then!" Xuan Si said coldly.
"Since you call yourself Rong Hao's wife, Rong Lan should have seen you, right?" Lu Zhe asked.
Xuan Si looked sarcastic, "I want to meet Rong Hao's family, but he always makes excuses to stop him. I don't know if he thinks I'm shameful or don't want Rong Lan to see me!"
"He probably thinks you are shameful," said Lu Zhe.
Xuan Si:...
"You said so much, it's all the same. Rong Lan has never seen Rong Hao's wife before. Any woman of the same age can pretend to be a fan of her. Who can't make up stories? Anyway, all the people who know about the matter are dead." Lu Zhe shook his head.
"I have evidence!" Xuan Si said coldly, "In Xiuqing Temple, there is a portrait I have always treasured for my son. Rong Lan will know at a glance!"
Lu Zhe's eyes flashed slightly. When he was preparing the brazier, he asked about the "evidence" in the woman's mouth from Rong Yuancheng. Lu Zhe admired Rong Yuancheng for this matter. If it were him, he would never have imagined such a flaw.
"Okay, I will go and look for it. But you haven't answered me yet. How did you know that Su Mo is Mr. Lan Yu?" Lu Zhe asked.
"I have dealt with Qing Jue before," said Xuan Si.
Lu Zhe did not question it. Qing Jue knew that Su Mo was Mr. Lan Yu was true, and Qing Mei knew it, but they all scoffed at it and did not use it to do anything.
But this does not mean that Lu Zhe believes in Xuan Si's statement, "So, you hide behind your back and want to deal with the Rong family because you are jealous of Rong Lan, because the woman Rong Hao really loves is her?"
"It's not only that! Rong Hao killed my son, and this account must be taken into account by Rong Lan! If it weren't for Rong Lan, Rong Hao wouldn't have done such a crazy thing!" Xuan Si's face was gloomy.
Lu Zhe shook his head, "I really don't understand you women. Rong Hao killed your son. You went to find his body, and no one stopped him. Rong Lan didn't know anything from beginning to end, why did she hurt him? Then I should say that it's all because you are too ugly and poor in nature, and he never could not conquer Rong Hao's heart, which made him miss Rong Lan and be cold-blooded and ruthless towards the son you gave birth to. You should hit him and die to be worthy of your dead son. This makes sense, what do you think?"
Xuan Si was so angry that her whole body trembled, while Rong Yuancheng outside had slightly curled his lips, and for the first time he found that Lu Zhe had become a little cute.
"It's okay to cooperate or something. There's nothing to talk about with a fool like you. If I were you, I should use the evidence to find Rong Lan to recognize her relatives, get her trust, and then slowly try to do it. There's no chance to do anything? You just chose the stupidest way and choose the stupidest bitch. What can you do with the Rong family? I think even if you are discovered, Rong Lan will not treat you because of your son's affairs?" Lu Zhe snorted coldly.
"Of course she won't do anything to me! She is the kindest woman in the world in Rong Hao's mouth!" Xuan Si said to be angry, "I didn't go to Rong Lan directly because I didn't want to recognize her at all! I was afraid that when I saw her, I couldn't control myself from wanting to kill her!"
Lu Zhe nodded, "It makes sense...but you still didn't say what your surname is, what background, and what kind of reliance you have, how dare you go against Rong Lan? What value do you have to let me let you go?"
"Meng Xian is dead, things will definitely make a big deal. You arrest me from Xiuqing'an and think the Rong family will not find out?" Xuan Si asked, "If you don't want to arouse suspicion, you must cooperate with me!"
"It seems that I have no other choice except to hand you over to Rong Lan." Lu Zhe sighed.
Xuan Si's expression was slightly relaxed, but Lu Zhe turned around, picked up the burned red soldering iron, and pointed at Xuan Si, "Just just now, I said something I shouldn't say. I don't want my aunt to know that I have a strange intention. It's really no good for me to work with you. So, I have another choice, kill you, and I can just say whatever I want, just make up stories, and I will."
After Lu Zhe finished speaking, regardless of Xuan Si's change of expression, the iron in his hand fell heavily on her right shoulder!
A shrill scream rang out, and Rong Yuancheng turned the page of the book in his hand and felt that Su Mo's story was too sad. No wonder Su Mo really didn't want to live anymore.
As for what happened in the secret room, Rong Yuancheng could hear clearly and did not intend to stop him. He knew that Lu Zhe would not kill Xuan Si, and had already explained Xuan Si about pretending to be a disguised person. Next, he had to force her to tell her true identity, and he had to use tough measures.
Xuan Si knew that Su Mo was the young master Lan Yu, knew the secrets of the Rong family back then, knew Rong Hao, and had a portrait of Feng Jinbao when he was young, and had such powerful martial arts. Rong Yuancheng suspected that she was not alone, and there might be some power behind her, otherwise it would be difficult to achieve this.
Lu Zhe has always been talking and has achieved good results. He has not yet revealed that he already knows that Xuan Si is fake, because he has no need to talk about it after he has spoken. Give her some hope, she will struggle desperately to survive.
Screaming incessantly, Lu Zhe seemed to have found some fun and kept trying the torture instruments he collected on Xuan Si.
Xuan Si's bones are hard and he insists on not letting go.
To be continued...
