The three black-clothed men were locked up in the secret guard station. Shen Yi was currently interrogating them, but no matter how he tortured them, the three of them did not say a single word. They looked at Shen Yi indifferently, as if they could not hear his various threats.
Shen Yi had been in the Dark Guard Institute for many years, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. In the past, no matter how stubborn a person was, when faced with the torture of the Dark Guard Institute, they would definitely feel fear and hesitation. Unlike these three people, they didn't even make a sound.
It was simply too strange.
"Lord Shen, Young Master Mingxi is here." A hidden guard came in and whispered to Shen Yi. ReadReadyChina.com.
"Keep an eye on them." Shen Yi wiped away the sweat on his forehead, took a deep breath, and went to see Ming Xi.
This was the first time that Ming Xi and the others had come to the Hidden Guard Agency. They did not feel it from the outside, but upon walking in, they discovered that there was a faint smell of blood.
Shen Yi glared at his subordinate. "How could you bring Young Master Mingxi to such a filthy place?"
"It's alright, Lord Shen. I was the one who requested to come in. I want to see the three assassins." Ming Xi stated his purpose for coming. He knew what kind of place the Dark Guard Institute was. If he was afraid, he wouldn't have come in.
"This …" Shen Yi hesitated for a moment. "Young Master Mingxi, those three people are very tight-lipped. After half a day of interrogation, they still won't say a single word. The torture chamber is filled with blood and it's frightening. I'm afraid that it will dirty your eyes."
Ming Xi said, "It's fine. I've already seen even bloodier things."
When Shen Yi heard Ming Xi say this, he could only bring him to the torture room. There were several torture rooms in the Dark Guard Institute, and different prisoners had different arrangements. The three assassins were arranged to be in the innermost torture room.
When Ming Xi saw the three of them, their bodies were covered in blood and there was almost no skin left unscathed. However, their expressions were still indifferent, as if they did not feel any pain at all.
"They still refuse to confess?" A look of astonishment flashed in Ming Xi's eyes. They had already fought to such an extent. Just how loyal were these people to their master?
Shen Yi nodded lightly. "He refused to say a word."
Ming Xi walked up to one of them. "Who sent you here?"
That person only looked at Ming Xi calmly, as if he did not hear Ming Xi's question.
"Torture them!" Shen Yi said coldly, as he ordered his subordinates to continue torturing the three assassins.
Ming Xi frowned slightly as he looked at them. This kind of punishment had already exceeded the pain that the human body could endure. As mortals, it was impossible for them to not feel any pain at all.
"Pry open their mouths and see," Ming Xi suddenly said.
Shen Yi glanced at Ming Xi, then personally went to pry open the mouth of a black-clothed man. He cried out in shock, "No tongue?"
"Milord, we don't have these two either."
"There's no need to interrogate them," Ming Xi said lightly. "You won't be able to get anything out of them."
Shen Yi said coldly, "Go get a pen and paper. They can't speak, but can't they write?"
"Not only have their tongues been pulled out, I'm afraid even their ears can't hear anything." Ming Xi said in a low voice, "They are specially trained death warriors. Their bodies have been fed medicine since they were young, so they do not feel pain. They do not know how to speak, nor can they hear what others say."
These people had already suffered even more terrible pain, so they were naturally indifferent to their interrogation.
"Then … … we're not going to interrogate them?" Shen Yi looked at Ming Xi in shock, "I didn't think that there would be people training death warriors."
Even when Qian Luosha was still around, their assassins were not death warriors.
"Even if we kill them now, we won't be able to get anything out of them. Let them live well. Death warriors need to be fed medicine frequently. They do not fear pain now because the medicine in their bodies has not worn off. We'll talk about it after the medicine has worn off," Ming Xi said in a low voice.
"Yes." Shen Yi nodded lightly. He was astonished. How old was Young Master Ming Xi? He actually knew more than he did.
Ming Xi glanced at the three black-clothed men, "Lord Shen, then I'll leave them to you. I'll go back first."
Shen Yi personally sent him to the main gate. Outside the Hidden Guard Station, there were still several youths waiting.
"Lord Shen, please wait a moment," Ming Xi said to Shen Yi.
"Ming Xi, how was it? Did you get anything out of them?" Xu Jinbei and the others hurried over to ask.
"I couldn't get anything out of them. They are death warriors." Ming Xi said lightly, "It's not daybreak yet. Let's return to King Qin's Residence first. I'll enter the palace tomorrow to ask about Yan Xiaoliu."
"Okay." Xu Jinbei nodded.
… …
… …
Murong Ke brought Ming Yu into the palace, and he personally escorted her back to Fengyi Palace.
"Imperial Father, I'm really fine. You don't have to worry about me." Ming Yu could feel Murong Ke's nervousness, but she was very calm. She was not frightened by what happened tonight.
"If Guan Jie did not save you tonight, what would you have done?" Murong Ke asked in a low voice. Although he did not personally witness the scene, he could imagine what the hidden guard had described.
If Ming Yu had been hurt in the slightest, not only would his heart ache, but if Yao Yao knew, her heart would ache even more.
Ming Yu said, "But I was still saved. Imperial Father, I will be more careful in the future."
"Imperial Father will not let anyone hurt you." Murong Ke said in a low voice. Those people did not want Ming Yu to become the Jin Kingdom's Empress, but he wanted Ming Yu to sit on that position. At that time, who would dare to bully Ming Yu?
"I will also protect myself." Ming Yu said in a serious tone.
Murong Ke smiled and rubbed her head. He thought of Yan Xiaoliu who was far away in Wasteland City. He wanted Yan Xiaoliu to go to Wasteland City because he wanted him to gain more experience so that he could protect Ming Yu in the future. But now, there was news that he was seriously injured. If Ming Yu knew, she would definitely be worried.
Then for the time being, he would not tell Ming Yu about this news.
"It's getting late. Rest well. We will come see you tomorrow." Murong Ke said.
"Okay." Ming Yu smiled sweetly.
Murong Ke still had to investigate what happened tonight, so he did not accompany Ming Yu. After exhorting a few words, he left.
"Your Majesty." Xue Lin and Wu Chong bowed.
"Investigate if tonight's incident had anything to do with the palace." Murong Ke ordered coldly. Not everyone knew that Ming Yu would go to the temple fair. Someone must have leaked it. "Investigate the Ye Clan and Lu Clan as well."
Investigate the Lu Clan and Ye Clan? Xue Lin froze for a moment. "Yes, Your Majesty."
The Lu Clan and Ye Clan were the Princess's relatives. It was impossible for them to harm the Princess.
"Go." Murong Ke strode forward. He thought that the purge half a year ago had calmed down the capital. He did not expect that there would still be people who wanted to hurt Ming Yu.
"Summon the Cabinet Minister to the palace." Murong Ke said.
Ford was stunned. It was already midnight, and they still wanted to summon the Cabinet Minister?
Murong Ke returned to the Imperial Study. Not long after, Shen Yi entered the palace and asked for an audience.
"Come in." Murong Ke's eyes were cold.
"Your Majesty …" Shen Yi bowed and told Murong Ke everything about the three men in black. "We have already asked a doctor to treat their injuries and temporarily keep their lives."
Men of sacrifice! Murong Ke's eyes became even colder. "We must make them reveal the mastermind!"
