Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Chapter 472: Tortured Without Talking

Chen Duo has his own way of arresting people.

When he went to capture Imperial Physician You, he deliberately surrounded the Ning Mansion, checked all the people in the Ning Mansion, and then took Imperial Physician You away.

Therefore, Doctor You’s biological daughter, You, knew that Doctor You had been arrested.

Yu's face changed immediately. She didn't even care about the long sword in the hands of the eunuch lying in front of her, and rushed forward!

It was the two girls beside her who held her by the waist and held her tightly.

Jia Zhen had already knelt on the ground with weak legs. Youshi looked at his back in despair, but in a moment her expression turned into hatred and resentment. Then she closed her eyes and turned away.

Chen Duo remembers it clearly.

Therefore, once Imperial Physician You committed suicide, Chen Duo's first reaction was to immediately return to Ningguo Mansion, first arrest the guilty Jia Zhen, then "invite" You Shi who was packing up her gold and silver jewelry, and then surround Rongguo Mansion.

Jia She was immediately annoyed and came out to ask Chen Duo for the imperial edict: "The plaque on my door clearly says: Built by Imperial Order!

"If you do not have His Majesty's order, you are committing treason!"

Chen Duo held the hilt of the knife, tilted his head and grinned: "Did I enter your house? No!

"Imperial Doctor You was a suspect in a treason case. He committed suicide after going in and out of the Rong and Ning mansions.

"Master She, I didn't just tie you and the people from Rong Mansion up and bring them to the inner temple for trial. I was already giving face to the Imperial Concubine.

"You want to accuse me of treason, fine.

"I have already arrested all the people from Ning Mansion. Please come with me, and I will accompany you to accuse me of treason in front of the emperor!"

Jia She immediately became panicked, threw down his sleeves, and said, "How can this be possible!"

Then he immediately turned around and went back home.

Chen Duo looked at his panicked back and laughed out loud, extremely arrogant.

After returning to the inner temple, Chen Duo did not waste any time and directly interrogated Jia Zhen and Youshi together.

Jia Zhen burst into tears and said, "Why did you arrest us? My father-in-law committed suicide. What does it have to do with us?

"Even if he made a mistake, Naishi-no-Haku should ask his colleagues and family why they arrested me, their son-in-law."

Chen Duo looked at Youshi and said, "Your husband asked me to ask you."

Yu Shi glanced at Jia Zhen coldly, holding back her tears, and bowed to Chen Duo, asking, "Excuse me, Lord Nei Si, how did my father die? Where did he die?"

“On the way to the palace, when we were almost at the palace gate, I knocked on the carriage and asked him to show his face to the imperial guards for inspection, but there was no response.

"I just found out that he bit his tongue and committed suicide. There was a big pool of blood." Chen Duo spread his hands with some regret.

Yu's tears fell down and she lowered her head and cried so hard that she couldn't speak.

Jia Zhen hurriedly said, "Since it has been confirmed that it was suicide, we are not murderers. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us. We will tell you everything we know!"

"Okay." Chen Duo looked at him again, "Dr. You came to your house to offer condolences. Besides meeting you and your wife, who else did he meet?"

Jia Zhen insisted: "There is also my cousin Jia Lian who came to help from Rong Mansion. And then there are the servants in the mansion."

"Your family is handling your father's funeral. I remember there are at least eight branches of the Jia clan in Beijing. How come only Jia Lian came to help?"

Chen Duo looked him up and down, "Didn't you say you are the clan leader?"

Jia Zhen forced a smile and said, "My father was a Taoist priest who didn't care about relatives. He had already said that he wanted to sever worldly ties.

"So I didn't ask anyone from my clan to come. Brother Lian and I are good friends, so he came to help me."

Chen Duo smiled and said, “That’s right.

"But why is he alone? Didn't his wife come over to help your wife?"

Jia Zhen hesitated: "This..."

At this time, Youshi suddenly explained: "The family of Xie, the second wife of Lian, has been demoted to civilians. She has been ill for a long time and has not appeared in public."

Jia Zhen nodded quickly, "Yes, that's right!"

"So, Doctor You only came to your Ning Mansion to express condolences and did not go anywhere else until I came to take him away, is that right?"

Chen Duo was all smiles.

Jia Zhen forced a smile and nodded, "Yes."

Yushi suddenly raised her head and looked at him in surprise.

Chen Duo clearly saw it, but ignored her expression and continued talking to Jia Zhen:

"General Jia, I have to explain something to you: If Doctor You committed suicide because he went somewhere else and met someone else, then I will ask those people about the reason.

"But if you insist, he has only been in your Ning Mansion, not gone anywhere else, and has not seen anyone; then the strangeness in this is all on you!"

Jia Zhen cried out: "That's my father-in-law, why would I harm him?

"Besides, he is the imperial physician and has his own duties in the palace. I have been in the imperial mausoleum with everyone for a while, so I don't know anything!"

Chen Duo nodded: "Come here, put up the clamps."

Jia Zhen's expression changed immediately, and he stood up: "Chen Duo! I am not guilty now, and my title is still on my head. How dare you torture me?"

"Haven't you submitted a petition to resign your title?" Chen Duo laughed, "That means you know exactly what sin your family has committed.

"And let me make it clearer:

“That night, I arrested your father with my own hands.

“I know exactly what he did.

“So, either you tell me the truth honestly, or you grit your teeth and endure my torture.

"——Your Majesty may have approved your resignation letter, but it is just a matter of going through the formalities at the Secretariat.

"Of course, His Majesty may not allow it, because you want to get away with it? Haha, dream on!"

Chen Duo sneered and waved his hand. Two jailers came up with tongs and gave Jia Zhen a good beating.

Jia Zhen screamed miserably, like a ghost howling.

When the clamps were released, he fell to the ground, gasping for breath: "It has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me... I really don't know..."

Chen Duo looked at him with a smile and raised his hand: "Take him away. Lock him up first. I'll talk to Grandma You."

Jia Zhen suddenly realized that his wife was watching next to him!

He turned around in panic, looked at Youshi's silent, expressionless face, and shouted:

"My father-in-law's death has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

However, the jailer who came up to drag him directly stuffed a piece of rag into his mouth!

He wanted to struggle, but unfortunately, the jailer slapped him in the face, making him dizzy and unable to care about anything.

Chen Duo looked at his back and sneered: "He is a drunkard and a womanizer, nothing more than that."

Then he looked at Mrs. You and said, "Grandma You, do you have any clues to give me?"

Yu looked straight at Chen Duo and asked, "What crime did my father commit that Nei Si Bo broke into the Duke's Mansion and arrested him?

"Why didn't he struggle at all? Why didn't Jia Zhen stop him or defend him?

"Nei Si Bo explained the mystery to me, so I will naturally help him solve the case!"
