The First Elder's servants were very fast. A few minutes later, more than a dozen servants, who were usually responsible for taking care of the First Elder's daily life, arrived in front of them.
Although the Elder of South College was as timid as a dog in front of Qinghu, he was still quite dignified in front of his servants.
He stared at these people with a gloomy face.
They trembled and did not dare to look up at him.
"Let me ask you, after the First Elder disappeared, who entered this room?"
The thirteen people stood in two rows. After looking at each other, a few of them whispered, "Elder of South College, after the First Elder disappeared, we had entered the room.
But at that time, we all thought that the First Elder went out to relax. We were all cleaned up by the First Elder according to the rules, so we really don't know what was wrong. "
The Elder of South College's eyes were cold.
He glanced at them one by one.
"What did you clean up in the room? Did you take anything from the First Elder's room? "
The Elder of South College did not directly mention the bedding.
Obviously, he was already suspicious of these people.
They immediately shook their heads and denied, "Elder of South College, we dare not forget the rules!"
"Yes, please investigate it, Elder! We are all clean people, and never dare to take things from the First Elder's room! "
Although they repeatedly denied it, the Elder of South College had already determined that there was something wrong with them.
He stared at them and said gloomily, "That's good. But if I find out that you dare to lie to me.
You know what I'm capable of! "
These people were all from the South College, so they naturally knew that the Elder of South College was a ruthless person.
They were so scared that their faces turned pale.
"Elder, we definitely didn't do that. You're wise, we're all innocent!"
The Elder of South College was also dubious about their words.
After all, these people were all sent to the First Elder's side after a lot of screening and investigation. If there was really something wrong with them, he should have noticed it long ago.
However, the bloodstains found on the bedding by Gong Ya were not fake.
Even he knew that only his own people would know such details.
The Elder of South College made up his mind to sacrifice them.
"If you want to prove your innocence, I have a way."
When they heard what he said, they immediately said, "Elder, please speak. No matter what method you use, we are really innocent!"
The South Courtyard Elder raised his eyelids and said, "Do you know that there are 36 torture instruments in the South Courtyard's torture chamber?
Of course, I won't let all of you suffer.
As long as you choose any three items, and if you can insist that you are innocent when you are being tortured, then I will believe you. "
His words made everyone dumbfounded.
Of course, they knew how powerful the torture chamber of the South Courtyard was.
Not to mention three torture instruments, even one of them was enough to make them hover between life and death.
After the three instruments of torture, how could they still be alive?
Immediately, everyone knelt on the ground and begged, "Elder, please don't do this. The torture chamber of the South Courtyard is not a place that ordinary people can endure!
Aren't you asking us to die by doing this? "
Elder Nan snorted coldly.
"You were in charge of taking care of the Great Elder, yet you let him go missing for no reason. This is a crime punishable by death. I'm just asking you to prove your innocence.
If you don't obey, then — "
Before he finished his words, everyone trembled.
Mengya looked at the South Courtyard Elder's means and only felt that he was too cruel.
Qinghu, who was next to her, was not surprised at all.
From the moment he came in, he felt that the South Courtyard Elder was cruel and merciless.
As the saying goes, evil people will be tortured by evil people. This was probably the case.
Regardless of the pleading of the crowd, the South Courtyard Elder directly asked someone to drag them all to the torture chamber.
At this moment, a man suddenly jumped out of the crowd. He quickly ran to the feet of the South Courtyard Elder and cried, "Elder, I'll tell you the truth!
It's him! I saw him sneaking into the Great Elder's room that day. He must have done something bad! "
That man pointed to an honest-looking servant in the crowd and accused him.
The servant was very frightened, "I, I don't have an elder. Don't listen to his nonsense!
I did enter the Great Elder's room that day, but I went to see if the Great Elder had come back! "
But the previous man did not let it go.
"I clearly saw you sneaking in. If you really went to see the Great Elder, why did you do this?"
His companions next to him seemed to have recovered.
One of them, who lived in the same room as the accused man, suddenly jumped out and said, "I remember!
One day when he came back, there was a smell of something burnt on his body.
I asked him what he did, and he said he went to the kitchen to boil water.
But the kitchen uses good dry firewood, so there is no smell at all.
Elder, if you want to interrogate him, you can interrogate him! "
With the accusations of two people, the man seemed to be unable to defend himself.
The South Courtyard Elder was even more aggressive. He grabbed the man's chest and directly lifted him up.
"Tell me, what did you do behind our backs?"
The man looked terrified.
The South Courtyard Elder suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and showed an evil smile.
"You don't want to tell me?"
He suddenly pulled out a steel knife from the waist of the man next to him and directly stabbed the man's leg.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the man's cry almost pierced the eardrums.
"Tell me or not? This time, you won't just lose your leg! "
The man almost fainted because of the pain.
The faces of the people around also changed. They had heard of the South Courtyard Elder's cruel means, but today they completely saw it.
Even the East Courtyard Elder turned his head away, as if he could not bear to look at such a tragic scene.
But Lin Mengya and Qinghu were the exceptions.
Especially Qinghu, who even made a sound of "tut".
"What? You can't stand such a small scene? "Lin Mengya turned around and asked.
However, the latter said, "I just think that his work is too crude.
If you hand him over to me, I can guarantee that he will spit out eighteen generations of his ancestors after this saber strike. "
The audience present thought, "We can't afford to offend him!"
At the same time, the South Courtyard Elder was a little upset.
Originally, in addition to extorting a confession, he also wanted to frighten the two men, but he did not expect that he would be despised.
At this moment, his attitude towards the traitor was even worse.
"Tell me, who sent you here?"
The poor guy's leg was almost broken, and his chest was tightly grabbed by the man, almost strangled to death.
It seemed that the fear of death made him tell the truth.
"Yes, the West Courtyard Elder asked me to do this!
It's him, he asked me to secretly poison the Chief Elder to death! "
His words made everyone feel refreshed.
Lin Mengya and Qinghu felt that something was wrong.
Everyone knew that the relationship between the South Courtyard and the West Courtyard was tense.
Whether the person behind the scenes was the West Courtyard Elder or not, the words of this person were enough to cause a war between the South Courtyard and the West Courtyard.
Lin Mengya could not help thinking quickly, thinking of countless reasons to persuade the South Courtyard Elder to think twice.
But things were beyond her expectation.
After hearing this, the South Courtyard Elder did not directly rush to fight with the West Courtyard Elder with a knife.
Instead, he directly cut off the man's arm with a cold face.
The man screamed and fell heavily on the ground with a broken arm.
Everyone could not help but feel a chill down their spine because of the South Courtyard Elder's cruelty.
"Do you think I'm the kind of fool who can be easily fooled by you?
So he is willing to go against the South Courtyard, but he will never send someone to poison the Chief Elder! "
Hearing this, the East Courtyard Elder immediately came forward and said, "Yes!
Although our four courtyards have occasional conflicts, the four courtyards are a whole.
If the West Courtyard Elder really did this, then there will be no place for him in the Inner Hall! "
The man's arms and legs were injured, but he still bit the West Courtyard Elder.
At this moment, the West Courtyard Elder also hurried over.
After seeing this bloody scene, he could not help but frown, "South Courtyard Elder, what are you crazy about?"
After seeing the West Courtyard Elder, the man who almost fainted desperately crawled to the West Courtyard Elder's feet.
"Elder, I did what you told me to do. You can't leave me to die!"
The West Courtyard Elder was immediately puzzled.
"What are you talking about? What did I tell you?
South Courtyard Elder, isn't he your man? What the hell is going on? "
The elder of the South Courtyard looked at him coldly and said, "This person said that he was ordered by you to come and kill the Great Elder with poison."
At this time, the East Courtyard Elder also silently stood beside the West Courtyard Elder, "Yes, what is going on in the West Courtyard? Does he have anything to do with you? "
When the elder of the West Courtyard heard this, he frowned and said, "That's nonsense. You don't really believe his nonsense, do you?"
The South Courtyard Elder sneered, "If I was really that stupid, you would have been killed by my sword."
The West Courtyard Elder quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
When he looked at the man, his face was also very gloomy.
"Do you think that by doing this, you can pour dirty water on me? To tell you the truth, the South Courtyard Elder knows better than anyone that I would never poison the Chief Elder! "
Unexpectedly, the two people who had always been at odds with each other suddenly stood on the same front.
This time, even the East Courtyard Elder was confused. He could not help but lower his voice and asked, "When did you have such a tacit understanding with the South Courtyard Elder? Just now, he actually directly denied it for you."
Hearing this, the West Courtyard Elder said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid you don't know the secret.
The Chief Elder has a special physique. The more toxic the poison is, the less effective it will be on him.
And only I and the South Courtyard Elder know about this matter. "
Hearing this, everyone understood.
Since the West Courtyard Elder knew that the Chief Elder had such a physique, it was impossible for him to send someone to poison the Chief Elder.
The South Courtyard Elder raised his eyebrows and looked at the man coldly.
"Now, have you thought about how to die?"
The man's face turned pale.
