God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

Chapter 446 Interrogation of Zhao 4

Lu Tingyan frowned slightly and said, "General, in my opinion, this Zhao Si also needs to be interrogated thoroughly!"

Lu Tianhao, who was standing by, clasped his hands and said to the general in a firm tone, "General, please rest assured and leave him to me for interrogation! I will make this thief confess everything honestly."

Mu Yanyu nodded and ordered with a serious expression: "Well, we must find out whether this person is a spy for the enemy country, and what important information he has passed on to Liang State."

Lu Tianhao straightened up and responded loudly: "Yes, I obey your command!" Before he finished speaking, he turned around and strode out of the tent.

Seeing this, Lu Tingyan hurriedly bowed to the general and said softly, "General, I want to go and see how the interrogation is going." After getting the general's permission, she followed Lu Tianhao out.

Lu Tianhao quickly arrived at the cell where Zhao Si was imprisoned. There were two guards standing at the door. When they saw Lu Tianhao coming, they hurriedly saluted. Lu Tianhao waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to salute, and then stepped into the cell. Zhao Si was tied up on a thick wooden stake, with his head lowered, looking very listless.

Lu Tianhao walked up to Zhao Si, staring at him coldly with a sharp gaze, and asked sternly: "Zhao Si, now that things have come to this, if you still want to live, you must honestly explain what happened! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!" However, facing Lu Tianhao's questioning, Zhao Si still hung his head, closed his lips tightly, and said nothing, as if he had not heard it at all. Lu Tianhao stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Si's collar: "Don't play dumb, Li Qiang put all the blame on you, don't you want to defend yourself?"

Zhao Si stood there like a sculpture, his lips still tightly shut, not saying a word.

His eyes were wandering and he didn't dare to look Lu Tianhao in the eye, as if as soon as he came into contact with the other's sharp gaze, all the secrets in his heart would be ruthlessly revealed.

Seeing this, Lu Tianhao’s anger instantly rose.

His eyes widened, veins popped out on his forehead, and he roared, "You bastard, do you really think you can get away with it by keeping silent? Tell me, what message did you convey to our army while lurking there?"

Facing Lu Tianhao's questioning, Zhao Si just pursed his lips tightly and lowered his head even lower, looking like he would never speak even if he was beaten to death.

Lu Tianhao was so angry that he let go of the hand that was holding Zhao Si's collar and began to pace back and forth anxiously in the small cell.

Each step he took was heavy, raising a cloud of dust. "Hmph, don't think I can do nothing to you just because you're pretending to be dumb!" he said viciously.

At this time, Zhao Si took advantage of the moment when Lu Tianhao turned around, carefully raised his eyes, quickly glanced at Lu Tianhao's back, and then quickly lowered his head like a frightened rabbit.

Lu Tianhao suddenly stopped, turned around abruptly, and strode towards Zhao Si again.

He stared down at Zhao Si and warned him word by word: "This is the last chance I give you! It's not too late to tell the truth, otherwise you will bear the consequences! You must know that we will never show mercy to our enemies!"

However, no matter how Lu Tianhao threatened or tempted him, Zhao Si seemed to be determined and gritted his teeth, refusing to utter a word.

Lu Tingyan frowned slightly, looked at Lu Tianhao in front of her, and said softly: "Second brother, you are too kind after all. If you don't take some tough measures to deal with such a stubborn person, it will be difficult to make him submit."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianhao looked hesitant and asked, "Yan'er, do you think there is any better way?" He knew very well that his sister was very intelligent and might be able to come up with a solution.

Lu Tingyan raised her lips slightly, revealing a sly smile, and said slowly: "Second brother, since he is so patient, why don't we let him feel the length and torment of time. For example, put a plate of water next to him and let him hear his own blood dripping into it. That kind of dripping sound will surely have a great impact on his psychology."

After hearing this, Lu Tianhao couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said hesitantly: "Yan'er, wouldn't it be too cruel to do this? What if..." However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lu Tingyan.

Lu Tingyan snorted lightly and said confidently: "Second brother, how do you know that this method is not feasible if you don't try it? Besides, to deal with such a stubborn person, we have to use some special means." She thought to herself: I learned this method from those exciting modern novels. No matter how tough he is, he will confess in the end!

Seeing Lu Tingyan's resolute attitude, Lu Tianhao pondered for a moment and finally made up his mind. He turned to the guard beside him and ordered: "Come here, do as the county lady said!" As his order was issued, a thrilling interrogation was about to begin...

The guards immediately took action and arranged everything according to Lu Tingyan's instructions.

The ticking sound was particularly clear in the silent cell. Zhao Si's face gradually turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Time passed minute by minute, and Lu Tingyan and Lu Tianhao waited quietly outside the cell.

Finally, Zhao Si could no longer bear the psychological pressure and shouted, "I say! I say! Please stop!"

After Lu Tianhao and Lu Tingyan looked at each other, smiles of victory bloomed on their faces at the same time, like two rays of light in the darkness, illuminating the entire cell.

Lu Tianhao walked into the cell with firm steps. His figure was tall and majestic, like an unshakable mountain.

He looked down at Zhao Si, who was lying on the ground in a state of disgrace, and said coldly, "Why should you have cooperated earlier? Why suffer this physical pain? Tell me everything you know!"

Zhao Si curled up in the corner like a frightened rabbit, breathing heavily.

His face was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept dripping from his forehead, soaking the ground beneath him.

After a long while, he stammered, "It's... it's a deal between General Nurgu and your Prime Minister. Prime Minister Su said that as long as General Nurgu can help Prince Yu ascend the throne, he will do his best to assist General Nurgu in capturing Mocheng and Harcheng."

Hearing this, Lu Tingyan could not help but snort coldly. Her beautiful face twisted slightly in anger, and she gnashed her teeth and cursed: "It is indeed that evil old thief! For his own desire for power, he did not hesitate to collude with foreign enemies and sell out the interests of the country!"

Lu Tianhao then asked: "Anything else? Don't try to hide any details, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

Zhao Si's whole body was shaking more and more. He replied tremblingly, "No... Really no more. This is all I know. Please have mercy on me and spare my life!"

Lu Tingyan stared at Zhao Si sharply and continued to ask, "Then how did you pass the message to your general? If you tell even a single lie, I will make you suffer a fate worse than death!"

Zhao Si said solemnly: "Every time I deliver information, I use pigeons."

As soon as the words fell, Lu Tingyan's eyes flashed, and she immediately turned to the person next to her and ordered: "Second brother, quickly ask someone to prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianhao, who was standing not far away, quickly stepped forward, looked at Lu Tingyan and asked, "Yan'er, are you planning to use him to pass on some false information to the other party?"

Lu Tingyan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, nodded gently and replied: "That's right, since Nurgu is determined to capture our Mo City, why don't we play this game with him."

Not long after, the necessary pens, ink, paper and inkstone were delivered to everyone.

Lu Tingyan picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, then gently placed the tip of the pen on the white paper. She looked up at the trembling Zhao Si and said slowly, "Just tell your general that the Chu army is now facing a serious food shortage problem. The food and grass supply in the rear has been cut off by Prime Minister Su. The soldiers in the army are panicked and their morale is low because of this. Now is the perfect time for them to capture the city in one fell swoop."

Hearing this, Zhao Si was so frightened that his face turned pale. He fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Please spare my life, County Lady! You are simply taking my life by doing this!"

However, before he could finish, Lu Tianhao suddenly kicked Zhao Si and shouted angrily: "If you don't want to do what we say, then we will kill you right now! Do you want to experience the same thing again?"

Feeling the powerful pressure and icy cold gaze emanating from Lu Tianhao, Zhao Si trembled all over and quickly changed his words to beg: "Please spare my life, sir. I will write it down. I will write it down right away..."

As he said this, he got up from the ground trembling, took the paper and pen handed to him by Lu Tingyan with shaking hands, and began to write the false information as required.

Time passed minute by minute, and in the tense and depressing atmosphere, Zhao Si finally finished writing this crucial message.

Lu Tingyan looked at Lu Tianhao: "Second brother, do you think he is telling the truth?"

Lu Tianhao frowned and said, "Just trust him for now and keep him locked up. I will report to the general and then make a decision."

Afterwards, Lu Tianhao and Lu Tingyan left the cell, ready to inform Mu Yanyu of this important information.
