Chapter 156 Interrogation of the Assassin

When Xu Feng and Honglian walked into the Jinyiwei's cell, a damp and moldy smell hit their noses.

The cell was dark and damp, and the flickering torches cast shadows all around.

There were chains hanging on the iron bars of the prison door, making a dull sound.

"Sir, please come this way." A Jinyiwei led them through several iron gates and came to the innermost cell.

"Sir, this is the man." The Jinyiwei pointed to the cell, where a bearded, ragged guy was tied to a wooden stake.

Xu Feng took a look at the man. He had the high nose bridge and deep eye sockets of a person from the Western Regions, but his skin was yellowish with a hint of Han Chinese. He guessed that he was a mixed-race person.

"Has the trial been conducted?" Xu Feng asked.

"We did interrogate him, but he didn't say a word. We didn't dare to torture him without the order from the adults," the Jinyiwei replied.

Xu Feng frowned. "Looking at him, I guess he can't even speak Chinese properly. How can he be an assassin?"

The Jinyiwei was stunned. "Why do you think so, sir?"

Honglian also looked at Xu Feng in confusion.

Even the Western assassin raised his eyelids slightly, as if surprised by Xu Feng's words.

"Nonsense, do you know how far the Western Regions are from here? It's considered fast if it takes more than a year to travel on the road! If I send an assassin from such a far place, I must choose someone with strong abilities, right?" Xu Feng said unhappily.

The Jinyiwei nodded quickly, "Your Excellency is right."

Xu Feng continued, "Look at this guy again. From head to toe, does he look capable at all? I guess he's just a groom for a Western merchant, the lowest kind at that. The kind who has to kneel down and stick out their buttocks for someone to step on their back when their master wants to mount the horse!"

The Jinyiwei was shocked, "So lowly?"

Honglian couldn't help but look at the Western assassin with sympathy, thinking to herself: It's miserable, really miserable!

The Western assassin's face flushed crimson at Xu Feng's words, his eyes widening as if to spit fire. He struggled desperately, but he was tied so tightly that he could only utter angry "woohoo" sounds and mumble incoherent curses.

Xu Feng looked at the assassin and poked him with his finger. "Did you see that? That lousy horse our Jinyiwei used to keep was just like that. It would run wild if it didn't please."

The Jinyiwei stroked his chin in thought, "Sir, now that you put it, hey, it really seems to be the case!"

Xu Feng sighed, "I caught the wrong one. I thought it was a big fish, but it turned out to be a piece of junk."

He threw up his sleeves, his face full of disappointment.

The Jinyiwei asked cautiously, "Sir, what should we do? Let him go?"

Xu Feng glared, "Let him go? Then where will our Jinyiwei put their reputation? What if he goes out and starts gossiping?"

The Jinyiwei scratched his head and asked, "How about cutting off his tongue?"

Xu Feng rolled his eyes at him. "If you cut off his tongue, he won't be able to write? If you cut off his hands, he won't be able to use his feet to gesture?"

The Jinyiwei was dumbfounded, "Then..."

Xu Feng waved his hand and said, "Find a place, dig a hole, and bury him. Remember to put plenty of lime in there so that he can slowly suffocate to death, burn until his skin is torn and his flesh is exposed, and he is in excruciating pain."

The Jinyiwei broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, and Honglian couldn't help but shiver beside him.

"As you command, sir! I'll do it right away!"

Xu Feng waved his sleeves and said, "Let's go, let's go. This is really unlucky."

After saying that, Xu Feng turned around and left, leaving the Jinyiwei muttering in their hearts that this method was too cruel, but since the master had given the order, they dared not disobey.

Honglian felt a chill in her heart, imagining the tragic scene of the assassin being buried alive in lime, and she couldn't help but shudder.

At this moment, the Western assassin in the cell suddenly cursed at the top of his voice: "You devil, you will not die well! Sooner or later, you will go to hell!"

His voice was hoarse, his eyes full of resentment, "You dog official! You will be punished!"

Xu Feng turned his back to him, a sneer appeared on his lips, and he thought: This guy has finally been exposed, and he is cursing in Chinese.

He turned around, his eyes wide with anger. "How dare you, you filthy horse, curse me? You want to curse me to hell? Even if you succeed, it will be a hundred years later. But you must go to hell now. I will not let you go there in one piece!"

Xu Feng waved his hand and said, "Come here, castrate him!"

Upon hearing this, the Western Region assassin cursed even more fiercely, "Thinking about living a hundred years? Dream on! If you don't believe me, kill me. You'll surely die within ten days!"

Xu Feng sneered, his eyes filled with contempt. "Lowbrows like you are only capable of cursing. Can you even curse me to death? Come on, cut off his tongue and fill his mouth with lime!"

The Jinyiwei received the order and immediately stepped forward to restrain the assassin. The assassin struggled desperately, cursing non-stop: "Do you think we don't know you are Xu Feng of the Jinyiwei? If we can't assassinate the emperor, how can we assassinate you? You dog official, wait for death!"

Xu Feng looked at the crazy assassin and smiled faintly, "Let him go."

After saying this, he stared at the Western assassin meaningfully and said nothing more.

The assassin cursed for a long time until his voice was almost hoarse. He suddenly looked up and met Xu Feng's inexplicable smile. His heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something was wrong. He was afraid that he had been fooled.

"You don't have to pretend anymore, right?" Xu Feng spoke slowly at this time.

"Whether you confess now or not is meaningless. You came all the way from the Western Regions to assassinate me, so it would be strange if there were no accomplices in the capital. Besides, you just openly threatened me, so you must be more than one accomplice, right?"

The assassin was so angry that he trembled all over. "You..."

Honglian and the Jinyiwei standing by were stunned and astonished by Xu Feng's beauty!

I thought to myself that the lord's method was really powerful. He exposed the assassin with just a few words.

As members of the Imperial Guard, they all knew that these assassins were usually determined to kill themselves, and it was very difficult to interrogate them.

The common method is torture, trying to pry open their mouths with torture.

But the results are often not very good.

But Xu Feng did the opposite. He denied the assassin's identity from the beginning, and let the assassin fall into the trap himself.

Honglian looked at Xu Feng, a ripple flashed in her eyes. Even she didn't react just now.

The Jinyiwei were all astonished and felt that the Lord was truly unpredictable, and they were even more in awe of him.

Seeing he could no longer hide, the assassin snorted coldly, "You're lucky to have caught me, but you won't be able to find my accomplices."

Xu Feng sneered, "Did you think I was teasing you just now? Do you think you're no longer useless now that your identity is exposed? In my eyes, you're still that brainless inferior horse."

The assassin gnashed his teeth and said, "Xu Feng, if you can find my accomplice, I will willingly kneel on the ground and serve as your stirrup when you want to ride a horse!"

Xu Feng scoffed, "I hate dirtying my feet."

After saying this, he turned to the Jinyiwei and ordered, "Spread the word immediately and say that we have arrested the wrong person. He is not an assassin, but a slave lost by the envoy of the Malkhan Kingdom. He ran away while entering the city."
