The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

Chapter 897 Don’t waste your energy!

Chu Chenjing, the fifth prince Chu Chenye, Lord Shao of the Dali Temple, and Minister Yin and his party came to the interrogation room in the backyard.

After entering here, they first arrived at the interrogation room where Yang Chong, the owner of Wanhua Tower, was being interrogated.

The smell of blood in the interrogation room was very strong, but for those who often interrogated people, it was not noticeable at all.

Several people entered the room, and before they could open their mouths to ask questions, they were interrogated by Jingzhao Shaoyin Wu Hai, Xingcao Canjun Lu Bing and three soldiers.

Upon seeing them, Wu Hai led them to salute hurriedly and said respectfully: "Prince Jing, Fifth Prince, Lord Shao, Lord Yin." He stood up quickly and his subordinates hurriedly saluted.

"No need to be so polite. How is the interrogation going now? Has he given any explanation?" Chu Chenjing shook his hand, glanced at Yang Chong, and asked coldly.

Wu Hai looked at Yang Chong, who was tied to the pillar and beaten to a bloody mess, and said helplessly: "Prince Jing, this kid is very stubborn. We tortured him severely, but he refused to confess."

Lü Bing, a lieutenant general of the Criminal Department, added, "Prince Jing, he's too cunning. He keeps saying that we've wronged Wanhua Tower and that the people who kidnapped the princess aren't from Wanhua Tower at all."

Chu Chenjing sat down on the chair, looking sharply at Yang Chong who was tied to the pillar, and then said coldly: "Yang Chong, the owner of Wanhua Tower, nephew of Yang Wanting."

When the other people heard what Prince Jing said, they were very surprised. How could Prince Jing know the news so quickly?

Yang Chong, who had been beaten to a bloody pulp, raised his head and looked at Prince Jing who was speaking. He bared his lips and revealed an ugly smile:

"Prince Jing is right. My uncle is Yang Wanting. How could I possibly kidnap the princess?"

Chu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, snorted coldly, and then said slowly: "If you talk about Yang Wanting's nephew Yang Chong, he has no ability, but you... are not Yang Chong."

As soon as these words came out, Yang Chong's expression changed instantly. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he said with a bit of concealment: "Prince Jing, you are joking. If I am not Yang Chong, who am I?"

Chu Chenye, Lord Shao, Lord Yin, and the people from Jingzhao Prefecture who were standing beside Chu Chenjing were all stunned by this sudden statement. During the previous analysis of the case, Prince Jing had never mentioned such a speculation!

Why would Prince Jing say this now? But when they saw Yang Chong's expression when he heard this, it seemed that Prince Jing was right.

In fact, Chu Chenjing had really tricked him. After he saw Yang Chong, he suddenly remembered that he had seen this Yang Chong before.

That was also a New Year a few years ago, when he returned to Kyoto to celebrate the New Year.

He met Imperial Physician Yang and his nephew, who he introduced as his nephew, Yang Chong.

However, he looked carefully at the Yang Chong in front of him. Although he was somewhat similar to the Yang Chong in his memory, his eyes were completely different.

Chu Chenjing clearly remembered that Yang Chong's eyes were pure and innocent, while the man before him had a sinister look. The most important thing was that the shape of a person's eyes never changed, which was why he asked this question.

Chu Chenjing didn't answer him, but turned to look at Wu Hai and said, "Master Wu, have you interrogated me? What happened to the body that was dug out in the backyard of Wanhua Tower?"

Wu Hai quickly replied: "Prince Jing, we are just about to interrogate this matter."

"Master Wu, use some powerful tactics on him. Are you still afraid that he won't confess?" Master Shao from the Dali Temple said. He was an expert in interrogation and his methods were very sophisticated.

Yang Chong pricked up his ears and listened to them talking about the corpse dug out in the backyard of Wanhua Tower. His heart suddenly sank and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

He was about to bite his tongue to commit suicide, but he saw a hand faster than his own quickly remove his jaw.

He looked at Chu Chenjing who was holding his chin in confusion.

Chu Chenjing clapped his hands and sneered, "It doesn't matter if you don't say it. This king is just giving you a chance. It seems that you don't cherish this opportunity, then there is nothing I can do. This king has plenty of ways to make you explain clearly."

"Your Highness, do you want to continue the torture?" Wu Hai asked.

Chu Chenjing took out a white pill from his sleeve and handed it to Lü Bing, the military officer in charge of the Criminal Department. "Sir Lü, put this pill in his mouth and let him eat it."

"Yes, Your Highness." Lu Bing quickly took the pill.

Everyone else looked at the pill Chu Chenjing took out with confusion, wondering what it was and what its effect was.

Lu Bing quickly walked up to Yang Chong, stuffed the pill directly into his mouth, put it to his throat, and patted his back hard. With a "gulp", Yang Chong swallowed the pill.

"Your Highness, it's done." Lu Bing reported.

Yang Chong was speechless, looking at Chu Chenjing in horror, shaking his head desperately, trying to spit out the pill. He didn't know what he had swallowed. Could it be that this was a drug that made living more painful than even dying?

Chu Chenjing looked at his horrified eyes and said coldly: "Don't waste your energy, you won't be able to vomit it out."

Chu Chenjing said this deliberately, and then paused for a long time before slowly saying: "Don't worry, you won't die now."

He then said to everyone, "Wait for a cup of tea, and then you can start asking him to see if there is a miracle."

Everyone looked at each other, confused: Will this pill lead to a miracle?

……

At the same time, the general's mansion was filled with laughter and joy, overflowing with the joy and warmth of the New Year.

Although Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao's elder brother Ouyang Yunyu left to investigate the case, it did not affect the joyful atmosphere of everyone gathering together.

Ouyang Yunyao's grandmother looked at her grandchildren with a happy smile on her face. She was always worried about her eldest son Ouyang Xiao who was guarding the border town.

The country had been at war with Beiyue for years, and she worried day and night, fearing that she would lose her son even though she was still young. Now that the two countries had reached a truce and Ouyang Xiao was about to return to Beijing, the heavy stone in her heart finally fell, and she spent this New Year with extraordinary ease.

The lunch at the general's mansion was extremely sumptuous, and the table was filled with the aroma of delicious food.

The family sat together, eating and chatting, the atmosphere at the table relaxed and joyful. They had never had a rule of not talking while eating, and there was constant laughter and joy.

While they were eating, Ouyang Yunyao's grandmother suddenly said to her, "Yao'er, I'm a little disappointed that your husband couldn't dine with us today."

"Grandma, there will be plenty of opportunities. We will come back to see you often in the future, grandma! You can't dislike it." Ouyang Yunyao replied with a smile.

"Mom, Yao'er is right. Today is a special case. Yao'er and the others can come back often in the future." Ouyang Yunyao's mother, who was sitting next to her grandmother, also hurried to comfort her.

"Yes, yes, yes, Yao'er, you must come back often. Grandma doesn't mind! Not at all!" Grandma smiled from ear to ear.

After everyone had a lively lunch, Ouyang Yunyao and the others accompanied their grandmother back to Xiangfuyuan to let her rest for a while.
