There were no electric lights in this era, so an oil lamp was lit in the wing. The light was very dark, which made the atmosphere of horror even more intense.

"What's your name?"

"How many people are in the family?"

"How many children?"

Gu Qingqiu began the interrogation.

She started with simple questions to lower Shen Caishen's vigilance. At the same time, she also used these questions to profile the gentleman's character.

It stands to reason that Xia Hongyao should have left to preside over the torture, but she found that Gu Qingqiu was better at this kind of thing.

"Little Loach, have you studied torture techniques?"

Xia Hongyao muttered softly.

"I have read relevant books, but unfortunately I have never had the chance to practice it!"

Gu Qingqiu sat at the table and smiled slightly: "I finally got what I wanted today!"

Shen Caishen answered honestly, begged for mercy, promised money, and mixed with threats, saying that he had someone in the Yamen.

In short, the idea is to let me go and give you a large sum of money, and I will forget the blame. Otherwise, you will not be able to spend the money you got.

"My daughter?"

When asked about his daughter, Shen Caishen showed a sad expression and began to talk about the love between father and daughter, but even Xia Hongyao felt that this was not the truth.

"Alumni, please bring some masks!"

Gu Qingqiu waited for Lin Baici to take out several masks and asked everyone to put them on, then she pulled off the paper bag on Shen Caishen's head.

"Hero, spare your life!"

Shen Caishen bowed his head immediately.

If he saw the face of the kidnapper, he might not be able to save his life.

"We only seek wealth, not murder!"

Gu Qingqiu stepped on a stool with one leg and looked like a big horse with a golden sword: "I ask again, where did you hide your daughter?"

"My daughter is dead!"

Shen Caishen cried. He glanced at the room and found that these people were all wearing masks, which made him relieved.

"It seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"

Gu Qingqiu snapped his fingers: "Alumni, it's up to you!"

"Torture him!"

"I'll be your assistant!"

Li Yintong was very angry. He encountered rule pollution in his own land. It was too embarrassing to talk about it. He had to purify it as soon as possible: "Is it to pull out nails? Or pull out teeth?"

"You are too rude!"

Hua Yueyu didn't want to get bloody: "I heard that in ancient times, there was a criminal method for promotion to a higher rank, which was to put wet paper on the face. Let's try it?"

"It's too troublesome, just bleed!"

Lin Baici placed the wooden basin he had just prepared in front of Shen Caishen, then grabbed his hand: "Hongyao, let's take a stab!"

Whoosh!

Shen Caishen didn't even see how the big bear girl drew the knife. He saw the flash of the knife and the index finger of his right hand started to bleed.

Gu Qingqiu moved the wooden basin with his foot and adjusted its position so that the blood could drip into it.

"Be careful, blood will leave traces if you spill it on the ground!"

Gu Qingqiu seemed to be reminding Lin Baici, but he was actually telling Shen Caishen.

"How much blood do you think he had? Can this tub fit in?"

Hua Yueyu scares Shen Caishen.

There was water in the tub, and blood was dripping in it, making a ticking sound.

"You'll find out later!"

Lin Baici put the paper bag over Shen Caishen's head again.

"If you tell me the whereabouts of your daughter, I will stop your bleeding, otherwise you will wait for death!"

"My daughter is dead!"

Shen Caishen was very stubborn: "What do you want me to say?"

Gu Qingqiu put his finger to his lips and made a silent gesture, so everyone stopped talking. In this way, the sound of blood dripping in the wooden basin became clearer.

Shen Caishen struggled subconsciously, but the rope that tied him was very tight.

This kind of criminal law is very famous. It focuses more on mental pressure. People with weak will will soon collapse.

Listening to the ticking sound, Shen Caishen felt that his blood was draining, and he felt various discomforts on his body. In addition, being tied up and at night made this feeling even worse.

"My daughter was really burned to death!"

Shen Caishen kept repeating this sentence, but when he felt dizzy and knew that he might be dying, his will to survive began to explode.

"I said, I will tell you everything I know, and you can stop the bleeding!"

Shen Caishen cried.

Hua Yueyu perked up, and there was indeed something hidden.

"Say it!"

Xia Hongyao pretended to stop Shen Caishen's bleeding, but in fact it had stopped just now. Those ticking sounds were the mineral water Lin Baici dripped.

"A mysterious man came to me and said that many beautiful girls could not be sent to the emperor, so they were divided up by the princes and princes. He had a way to make my daughter Jin Chan escape from her shell, but deceiving the Holy Emperor was a major crime against the nine tribes. How dare I Do?"

Shen Caishen cried: "I am just the apple of my eye. I don't want her to enter the palace at all, but the emperor's order cannot be violated!"

"Who is that mysterious man?"

Gu Qingqiu asked.

"Do you think the other party will reveal his true colors when he comes to me?"

Shen Caishen laughed at himself.

"The painting you painted in the study did not choose a theme of sadness!"

Lin Baici questioned: "Who, after the death of their only daughter, would still be in the mood to paint a picture of making fun of their grandson?"

"The boat that transports beautiful girls was burned down. I know that the mysterious man must have taken action. My daughter should have survived and not be ruined by those princes and grandsons, so I can't help but feel a little lucky."

Shen Caishen explained without having to be pressed by Lin Baici, and explained: "I've seen those corpses, and they don't match my daughter's!"

"Isn't it right? I heard that the ship was burned to ashes. Can you still identify your daughter's body?"

Li Yintong frowned.

"Other show girls may die, but I am the famous Shen Caishen. Do you think my daughter is worth anything?"

Shen Caishen's tone was very proud: "After a few months, when the limelight of this matter has passed, someone will definitely come to me and ask me to redeem my daughter!"

"What you think is quite beautiful!"

Although Xia Hongyao was sarcastic, she felt that this was very likely.

"I don't believe it!"

Gu Qingqiu narrowed his eyes: "Alumni, change the torture method and continue the torture!"

Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao changed two more criminal methods. After struggling for an hour, they still got the same result.

Lin Baici knocked Shen Caishen unconscious and threw him on the bed.

"Now there are two possibilities. First, he does not know the whereabouts of his daughter. Second, he knows, but he loves his daughter so much that he would rather die than keep her daughter!"

Gu Qingqiu analyzed: "I think the first one is more likely!"

"What should we do?"

Li Yintong couldn't think of a solution: "We can't wait a few months before the mysterious man comes to see this rich man. The day lilies are already cold!"

No one knows how long this rule pollution will last, but a few months is enough for them to die twice.

"Alumni, Hongyao, please go and kidnap the madam from the brothel where the brothel is located!"

Gu Qingqiu arranged: "Yintong, throw this guy outside the city!"

Two masters, Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao, took action. There was no chance of an accident happening. An hour later, Lin Baici returned to the small courtyard carrying an old woman on his shoulders.

As soon as the old woman wearing a hood woke up, she wanted to shout for help, but her mouth was already gagged.

"I ask, you answer, if you lie, I'll cut off one of your fingers!"

Gu Qingqiu's voice was cold: "Do you hear me clearly?"
