Chapter 189 Interrogation
"Miss, why are you back so soon? Didn't you say last night that your son-in-law's condition worsened and he needed more care in the mansion, so you wouldn't be back for the time being?"
Mo Hua's face was full of confusion.
Mo Qi pouted, looking indignant, "Sister Mo Hua hasn't heard yet, right? The son-in-law is actually fine now, he has been teasing the young lady all along!"
"My uncle is really going too far!"
After enjoying breakfast, Ling Mohui put Fu Yansheng's affairs behind her. "Is there any new news from Jingzhao Prefecture? Did they get any results from the interrogation of the assassination?"
Mo Hua shook her head. She had been following this matter closely for the past two days. "There is still no definite news. I am afraid we have to wait until the son-in-law's injury is fully recovered before we can discuss it."
"I can't wait any longer. I'll go over and take a look myself this afternoon."
Ling Mo looked determined and made a decision.
"Yes, I will prepare the carriage right away!"
At the same time, the news that Ling Mohui had left the Prime Minister's Mansion quickly reached Fu Yansheng's ears.
"Master, the Madam seems to be heading towards Jingzhao Prefecture."
Mo Yibao reported.
Upon hearing this, Fu Yansheng calmly changed into his casual clothes and said calmly, "The Jingzhao Prefecture has been delayed for long enough. Go and inform the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor that the formal interrogation must begin today."
"Yes, sir."
Not long after Ling Mohui arrived in Jingzhao Prefecture, Yuan Fangfang and Yuan Jiacheng also arrived.
"Fangfang, why are you here too?"
Ling Mohui was a little surprised.
"I heard about your experience a few days ago, and I have been thinking about you. Today, when I happened to be returning home, I received a message from the Prime Minister saying that the trial would begin today, so I followed to see what was going on."
Yuan Fangfang explained.
"Thank you so much for your hard work."
Ling Mo responded gratefully, her tone gentle and sincere.
"Mohui, you are being too polite. We are good sisters. If anyone dares to harm you, I, Yuan Fangfang, will never let him off easily!"
Yuan Fangfang is full of justice, and her words are full of firmness and indomitable spirit.
Afterwards, the group stepped into the prison of Jingzhao Prefecture. The dark and damp atmosphere hit them in the face, indicating that behind the secret that was about to be revealed, there might be more complicated conspiracies and entanglements hidden.
At this time, in the interrogation room, the dim light reflected on the mottled stone walls. The jailers had prepared various interrogation instruments and arranged them in an orderly manner, waiting for the interrogation to begin.
When everyone arrived, they saw several haggard and listless prisoners being dragged by heavy chains, staggering as they were lifted away from this gloomy place. Their figures cast long shadows in the dim light, revealing a bit of despair and helplessness.
The voice of the Jingzhao prefect sounded in the interrogation room, sounding particularly steady and powerful: "These are the masterminds, the toughest ones. Our strategy is to start with them. After several rounds of interrogation, they will naturally reveal the truth when their patience is exhausted."
His words revealed confidence and determination, as if he had foreseen the ultimate victory.
Ling Mohui glanced at the figures who were taken away, and then asked: "Has anyone tried to contact or visit them in the past two days? Even the most insignificant details may become the key."
Jingzhao Prefecture Yin shook his head slightly and replied, "There is no record of any outsiders trying to approach. Our isolation measures for them are quite strict."
Ling Mohui nodded slightly to show her understanding, and then made a request: "Take me to see the rest of the people. I want to see their situation with my own eyes."
"Madam, do you really want to go to the prison to check it out yourself?"
The prefect of Jingzhao was a little surprised. After all, the environment there was terrible, filled with filth and darkness, and it would be difficult for an ordinary noble lady to adapt to that depressing atmosphere.
However, Ling Mohui's expression was firm, without the slightest hesitation.
The prefect of Jingzhao then called the jailer who was on standby and gave him a few instructions.
Led by the jailer, the group walked through the dark corridor. Ling Mohui and Yuan Fangfang walked side by side. Their footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, and every step seemed to break the dull silence.
The cell was at the end of the corridor, with a rusty chain hanging on the heavy iron door, as if time was locked inside.
The air here is filled with a smell of dampness and despair. The flickering candlelight is the only sign of life, and the sunlight coming in through the window has become an unattainable luxury for those imprisoned here.
Ling Mohui stood in front of the cell, her voice clear and powerful, reaching every corner: "You have witnessed the fate of the first two people. Now, who is willing to confess? Those who take the initiative to stand up will have the opportunity to be given a lighter sentence and avoid suffering physical pain. Please consider it carefully."
Although her heart was as clear as a mirror and she could see through the true face of the mastermind behind the scenes, due to the lack of substantial evidence, all her inferences could only remain guesses.
And the group of people in front of her are the crucial key for her to uncover the whole mystery.
As long as one person speaks up, Xia Ranran will not be able to escape legal sanctions.
However, reality did not develop as she expected. The cell was dead silent and no one responded.
Ling Mohui did not show too much surprise about this.
These people are willing to go through fire and water for Xia Ranran. They are obviously bound by some powerful bond, which may be family ties or deeper interests.
"Regarding your background, I have already instructed Jingzhao Prefecture to conduct a thorough investigation in advance. At this moment, your family is under our strict protection. We will respond quickly to any slight threat and ensure their absolute safety."
Ling Mo's words were like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, stirring up waves in some people's hearts.
Sure enough, one of them seemed to be shaken and was about to raise his hand to signal, but he suddenly retracted his hand because of the sudden sound of fighting outside, his face full of fear.
Ling Mohui heard the voice and looked sideways, only to see several nimble figures approaching rapidly.
When they got closer, they found that the people coming were Fu Yansheng and Mo Yi, and Mo Yi was holding a young man dressed as a servant in his hand.
"Keep your head up!"
Mo Yi's deep voice carried an irresistible force.
The man raised his head in panic with trembling hands. His face gradually revealed itself to everyone, and everyone was instantly shocked...
"Xia Ranran?"
Ling Mohui frowned slightly, feeling both unexpectedly shocked and yet seemingly feeling that it was reasonable.
After all, she knew very well that Xia Ranran was not someone who would sit and wait for death, and she would definitely take action.
However, Xia Ranran chose to break into Jingzhao Prefecture directly. This move was undoubtedly walking into a trap, and people could not help but sigh at the recklessness of her behavior.
"As soon as we entered, we discovered that this person was sneaking around, hiding in the dark, and seemed to be plotting something bad against the young lady. Fortunately, the lord and I arrived in time and prevented her from succeeding!"
Mo Yi explained the situation briefly and powerfully.
