Chapter 80: Reunion
The progress went surprisingly smoothly, and Hao Fenglou finally fell idle. Although there were many rumors outside, many of the spearheads of discussion were concentrated on Hao Fenglou, an originally inconspicuous small household. However, for Hao Fenglou, all this seemed to be dispensable.
The weather gradually became a little cold. After a heavy rain, the scorching heat of summer gradually dissipated. On this day, Hao Fenglou met an old acquaintance - Ling Xue.
Ling Xue looked a little thin. Although she was wearing a men's shirt, she still looked unconcealed. She pursed her lips lightly. Ling Xue smiled at Hao Fenglou and said, "Can you do a favor?"
"Okay." Hao Fenglou did not hesitate.
"Follow me and get in the car!"
The carriage was very wide, but a man and a woman were sitting inside, still a little crowded. Looking closely at Ling Xue, she found that she was full of tiredness and bloodshot in her eyes.
"Didn't sleep yesterday?" Hao Fenglou smiled: "Are you very busy?"
"Ha..." Ling Xue yawned, leaned on the carriage, half-closed her eyes, and said, "I'll take a break first, and it'll be here soon."
Hao Fenglou touched his nose and finally shook his head and smiled bitterly. The carriage smelled so good. A woman curled up inside and made a soft snoring sound. Her small and straight nose moved slightly, and her hair was a little messy. Hao Fenglou couldn't help but feel a little bit of care. Finally, he shook his head and his head tilted to one side. The beauty, who was as icy as she seemed a little pitiful when she was sleeping soundly.
The carriage stopped, and there was an inconspicuous courtyard in front of him. Ling Xue stretched and jumped out of the carriage, her whole body became severe again.
Hao Fenglou shook his head again. How could a woman jump off the carriage? If it were Miss Lu, she would probably have to step on a high stool. What about Xiao Xiangxiang? My God, Xiao Xiangxiang should not be a woman, she is just a girl. God, I hope she will have a little feminine taste when she grows up.
When he entered Yousen Courtyard, Hao Fenglou found that it was extraordinary. There were many sentry posts in the open and dark. Warriors standing upright like javelins stood with their swords. In the dark, there were many eyes everywhere peeking in the dark.
Hao Fenglou looked at Ling Xue and said, "It seems that this place is not bad? Are they all from the personal army? The Jinyiwei? Why haven't I heard of the arrangements in the guards here?"
When he arrived outside a wing room, Ling Xue made a call and said, "The Beizhen Prefecture Department may not know about some things."
Hao Fenglou smiled and walked in quickly.
The wing room was brightly lit, and four or five people in bullfighting uniforms were each occupying the corner of the room, with a very cold expression. However, when they saw Ling Xue coming in, they straightened their waists and bowed: "I have seen Your Highness."
Your Highness...
Hao Fenglou raised his eyebrows and looked at Ling Xue in surprise. What made Hao Fenglou even more embarrassed was that everyone standing in this room was wearing a bullfighting uniform. At the lowest level, they were all fifth-grade personal guards and military officers, who seemed to be one grade higher than him. Hao Fenglou lowered his head and looked at the Qilin uniform on his body, and he was silent in his heart. He had only been pretending to be a few days old and was worthless all of a sudden.
Ling Xue had no expression on her face and did not respond to the military officers. Her eyes fell on a person in the room like a sharp knife.
The man's chin was smooth, his eyes were covered with blood, his whole body was filled with stench, his head was unkempt, and his face was covered with blood-collapsed scars spread on his face in a mess, and there was almost no complete piece of skin.
He gasped and let out a woman-like **.
Hao Fenglou sighed in his heart, and he was another dead eunuch.
Ling Xue glanced at Hao Fenglou and said, "I...I have tried it many times, but I can't find any results. I know you are amazing, so you can try it."
Hao Feng Louhe nodded and said to a military official: "Come on a chair."
The military officer was obviously very reluctant and looked at Ling Xue. Ling Xue nodded, and the military officer brought the chair.
Hao Fenglou knew that the military officers present were obviously not convinced by him, but he didn't care. Ling Xue would be convinced by him.
The chair was placed opposite the eunuch. Hao Fenglou sat down. Hao Fenglou asked Lingxue, "What do you want to be examined?"
Ling Xue pondered for a moment, then said word by word: "Ask him, when the fire in the palace is in danger, is Jianwen dead or alive?"
When he heard this question, Hao Fenglou glanced at Ling Xue strangely.
But he didn't ask much, and said, "All the idle people are out."
"Bold!" An officer stood up and pressed his waist and said, "You are too presumptuous!"
Ling Xue said coldly: "Go out!"
These military officers looked at each other and went out obediently. When they left, they naturally couldn't help but stare at Hao Fenglou with hatred.
Ling Xue said: "Do I want to leave too?"
Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "It's okay."
Ling Xue nodded, stepped back to the corner of the wall and leaned against the wall, held her hands in her chest, and looked at Hao Fenglou with interest.
Hao Fenglou looked at the eunuch who seemed to be dying in front of him. The eunuch was tied to a chair with his head down and his face could no longer be seen.
Hao Fenglou raised his legs and said word by word: "What's your name?"
"Slave Cao Xiang."
"How many people in the family?"
"It's gone."
"All dead?"
"yes."
"When will you enter the palace?"
"The leap month of the thirteenth year of Hongwu."
"When will you serve Jianwen?"
"The 17th year of Hongwu."
"Jianwen was still the crown prince at that time?"
"yes."
"Is Jianwen dead or alive?"
"I don't know."
"Where are you when the palace is in a fire?"
“In Jingtai Hall.”
"May I have your name?"
"Cao Xiang?"
……………………
"Where are you when the palace is in a fire?"
"Jingtai Palace."
"When will you enter the palace?"
"Hongwu."
……………………
Hao Fenglou seemed to be happy with this boring question. He split up countless questions and asked repeatedly, sometimes deliberately leaving traps, such as suddenly asking: "You entered the palace in the ninth year of Hongwu, are you?" Cao Xiang replied: "I am the thirteenth year of Hongwu." Hao Fenglou continued to ask: "Twelfth month?" Cao Xiang replied: "Leap month."
Then he broke up all the questions and continued to ask.
Before we knew it, several hours passed.
Cao Xiang could no longer bear it.
Hao Fenglou stood up and smiled bitterly at Ling Xue, who was leaning against the wall, who looked even more tired, and said, "I'm hungry, let him rest and give him some food. I'm hungry too."
Ling Xue nodded. Today, she was extremely silent. After she went out to give orders, someone sent food in. There was also an old lady who was responsible for feeding Cao Xiang.
After the meal, Hao Fenglou went to take a nap, then cheered up, sat opposite Cao Xiang, and ordered someone to wake Cao Xiang up without giving him any chance to wake up: "What's your name?"
"I'm Cao Xiang..."
……………………
Hao Fenglou has asked these questions many times, day and night, and Hao Fenglou has become dizzy. Finally, he stood up and looked at Ling Xue who has been leaning against the wall and said: "I use the head as a guarantee. Cao Xiang really doesn't know whether Jianwen is life or death. If Jianwen is alive, he will never know where Jianwen has escaped?"
Ling Xue glanced at him and said, "I believe in you."
Hao Fenglou couldn't help but say, of course you believe me, no one can show off his strength under such interrogation, nor can a god.
Of course, this involves mental and psychological issues, and Hao Fenglou couldn't explain it clearly. In this era when interrogation was basically based on scoring, his methods were a bit ahead of the curve.
But Ling Xue did not hesitate at all. The words I believe in you made Hao Fenglou feel a little comforted. This is his confidant. Hao Fenglou didn't want to spend so much time discussing the so-called modern interrogation techniques.
"When is it now?" Hao Fenglou stretched. In this deep courtyard, Hao Fenglou ate when he was hungry, asked when he finished eating, and slept after asking, which felt a little isolated from the world.
"Two days and two nights have passed." Ling Xue showed a little smile. In fact, her smile looks very good, but unfortunately she always hides it behind the coldness when she accidentally.
Hao Fenglou rubbed his temples: "It's over, I remember, it seems that the Lu family went to Beijing yesterday. Oh... I don't know what the ward is like. Have you ever asked for leave for me?"
