Chapter 124 Evidence

The brilliant golden light descended, and everyone standing opposite Han Xu felt an extremely sharp breath.

It seemed that everything would be split in two under this knife.

After the golden light went out, they were shocked to find that the hundred-tempered steel knives in their hands were all neatly broken in the middle.

A gust of wind blew, and Han Xu suddenly appeared in front of the group of Xuanyiwei.

"Who are you?" These Xuanyiwei were all experienced masters, and their minds were extremely tough. They knew that Han Xu was powerful, but they still did not lose their composure.

"I don't want to kill more innocent people." Han Xu said indifferently, "But if you continue to stop me, I don't mind killing a few more people."

"Bold lunatic!"

"Die!"

None of the thirteen guards retreated. They threw down the broken knives, but took out a dagger from somewhere and rushed up, apparently preparing to engage in close combat with Han Xu.

It must be said that their tactics were correct.

The prison was narrow, and ordinary weapons were difficult to use. Instead, short weapons such as daggers were more suitable.

The thirteen people cooperated well with each other and came in formation. It was obvious that they were well-trained and knew how to defeat the strong with the weak.

However, they did not expect Han Xu to be an extraordinary strong man. In front of the extraordinary, the number of people was meaningless.

Han Xu used his palm as a knife and slashed in the air. The unparalleled blade light directly penetrated the bodies of the thirteen Xuanyi guards. The domineering sword energy destroyed their internal organs in an instant.

Han Xu was not a bloodthirsty person, but he was definitely not a soft-hearted person.

If these Xuanyi guards were let go, they would definitely call for support, and at that time, it would only cause more killings.

"Save me!"

"Help, master, help me!"

Han Xu walked all the way inside, and desperate cries for help could always be heard from the cells beside him.

Most of these people were extremely vicious, and Han Xu was too lazy to pay attention to them.

At the innermost part of this floor, there are four cells that are clearly different from the other four cells.

These four cells do not even have ventilation bars on the doors, and are locked with hard black iron chains.

Han Xu walked to the front of the Ding cell, waved his hand, and the black iron chain was broken into several pieces.

He kicked the door open and saw Ning Shanzhi imprisoned inside.

He was originally a spirited old man, but now he was tied up on a rough wooden frame, his upper body was covered with mottled whip marks, and there were several shocking burn marks on his chest.

His tendons in his hands and feet had been broken, his fingers were smashed one by one, and his nails were pulled out piece by piece.

Obviously, in this short half day, the Minister of Rites had been tortured inhumanely. At this moment, his head was drooping. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he thought that the interrogation was about to begin again, and his body could not help shaking.

However, when he saw that the person who came in was not a black-clothed guard, the light in his eyes rekindled.

Han Xu asked coldly, "Have you confessed?"

Ning Shanzhi replied in a weak voice, "Don't worry, I didn't say a word."

Han Xu was slightly surprised that his old bones could withstand such severe punishment.

"You are here to save me, right? Untie me and take me away from here." Ning Shanzhi said anxiously. He didn't want to stay in this place for a second longer.

"I thought the prince would come to save him, so I can hold on until now." Han Xu couldn't help but feel sad for him. He thought that the prince and his party who came back to save him from the sea of ​​suffering actually just wanted to kill him before he spit out the secret.

The savior he was waiting for had already abandoned him as a pawn.

Seeing that Han Xu didn't take action, Ning Shanzhi felt something was wrong.

He was the Minister of Rites, and he had been standing in the court for many years. He knew all the dark sides of the officialdom.

Since the man in front of him came here, but didn't untie him immediately, his intention was naturally self-evident.

He laughed bitterly and said, "Haha, I should have thought of it earlier. Since I was thrown into the prison, I have no use value."

"A person who is useless but knows too many secrets can only be relieved when he dies."

"Go ahead, give me a quick death."

"I didn't expect you to accept the reality so quickly. I admire you a little." Han Xu said, "You must die, but before you die, maybe you can tell me what you know, maybe I can avenge you in the future."

"Who are you?" Ning Shanzhi remained sharp at the critical moment of life and death.

This person couldn't be a confidant of the prince's party, otherwise he wouldn't be here to trap him.

"You Xuanyiwei are really good at tricks. You almost fooled me."

"I've said before, don't waste your time. I won't tell you a word."

"When I get out, I will tear you to pieces!"

"You still naively think that the prince will come to save you?" Han Xu sneered, "I tell you, he can't even save himself now."

"What prince? I don't know what you are talking about." Ning Shanzhi said, then lowered his head and remained silent. It seems that he believed that Han Xu was a disguised Xuanyiwei to trick him.

"It's not up to you whether you say it or not."

"Hmph!"

Han Xu walked up, grabbed Ning Shanzhi's hair, and asked him to lift his head.

Then Ning Shanzhi saw Han Xu's pupils turned into a pair of whirlpools, pulling him into the abyss.

Mirror flowers and water moons, mental illusions, every time Han Xu used them, he would get unexpected surprises.

Although Ning Shanzhi was quite powerful, his cultivation was abolished and he had been tortured, so his spirit was on the verge of collapse.

So, in just a moment, he fell into the illusion created by Han Xu, and his eyes became dull.

"Kacha!" Han Xu broke the chains on him, put him down, and then picked up the paper and pen on the torture table and threw them in front of him, saying, "Write down everything you know, the focus is on the prince and the queen."

"Listen, not only the spring hunt, but also all the crimes you know about them and their mother and son in the past, write them down one by one."

"Two copies, not one less."

Ning Shanzhi's mind was controlled, and Han Xu's order was more important to him than the imperial edict.

So, he picked up the pen and wrote without hesitation, and he didn't feel the pain even when his fingers were bleeding.

Han Xu nodded. The reason why he decided to take this commission was that it was profitable, but this was only a small reason. The most important purpose was to obtain evidence of the prince and the queen's guilt.

The mother and son tried to harm Han Luoling again and again, so Han Xu thought that he might as well take this opportunity to completely eliminate the threat, and the confession written by Ning Shanzhi was the weapon Han Xu used to eliminate them.

Not long after, Ning Shanzhi wrote thousands of words, which made Han Xu terrified.

In addition to the means used to deal with Han Luoling, there were at least a hundred other major and minor cases, and the crimes of the two of them could be described as innumerable.

And Ning Shanzhi played a huge role in fueling the flames.

"A bunch of scum." Han Xu put away one confession, and the other confession was thrown out by him casually, just falling on Ning Shanzhi's face.

After Ning Shanzhi finished writing, he fell to the ground and never got up again. From the hideous expression on his face, it can be seen that he must have seen something extremely terrifying before he died.
