Hell, run away, the little milk baby is coming to the underworld again.

Chapter 826: Prohibited Words

Not only did Prefect Lin and the yamen runners think that Xiao Yanbao had beaten the prisoner to death, even Ye Zeyan gasped.

But he was not worried at all. Since his sister really beat someone to death, she could still interrogate the ghost.

After Xiao Yanbao slapped the Lingxu Shield down, the rune on the prisoner's forehead disappeared.

Xiao Yanbao knew how to strike with discretion, and there was no doubt that the man could not be killed.

As for why the prisoner fainted, it was probably caused by the rune.

Little Yanbao pressed his small hand on the prisoner's Baihui acupoint and injected a stream of spiritual power into it.

The prisoner trembled all over and sat up again.

It also scared Prefect Lin.

"Alive again?"

Ye Zeyan rolled his eyes at Prefect Lin and said, "This man is not dead at all. Can't you see that?"

Li Qian and Gui Que: They also thought that the prisoner was beaten to death by the little princess.

Master, did you really realize that the prisoner is not dead?

Prefect Lin grinned and said, "Your humble servant is short-sighted."

Xiao Yanbao took out another truth talisman from his Ruyi bag and stuck it on the prisoner's forehead again.

Prefect Lin had already experienced two talisman explosions, so when he saw Xiao Yanbao sticking the talisman on the prisoner's forehead again, he subconsciously took two steps back.

Ye Zeyan didn't move at all, but straightened his waist and glanced at Prefect Lin with contempt.

Magistrate Lin gritted his teeth and took the two steps back.

Just go for it, the worst that can happen is that you end up in disgrace.

None of the bailiffs dared to retreat, but they all closed their eyes in fear.

Prefect Lin also wanted to close his eyes, at least so he wouldn't be so scared, but he didn't dare.

But there was no explosion as they expected.

The prisoner's body shook violently, then his eyes widened in horror and he covered his mouth tightly with his hands.

As soon as Xiao Yanbao saw the prisoner's appearance, he knew that this time it worked. It was indeed the problem with the rune.

Although the prisoner covered his mouth tightly, he still made a humming sound.

But I couldn't hear what he said specifically.

Xiao Yanbao took a few steps back and said, "Okay, just ask whatever you want to ask this time."

Ye Zeyan took his sister's hand with a proud look on his face and walked towards the hall.

Magistrate Lin was still a little confused, and nothing happened this time.

But he quickly came to his senses. After all, as a prefect, he had seen some scenes before.

"Quick, put his hands behind his back." Magistrate Lin ordered.

Two yamen runners came up and twisted the prisoner's arms behind his back.

Finally he can speak. They have been suffering a lot in recent days.

Magistrate Lin took two steps at a time and returned to the desk and sat down.

He picked up the gavel and slammed it on the desk.

Little Yanbao was frightened.

Little Yanbao hates it most when someone bangs the gavel during a trial. Just try the case, why bang the table to scare the mice?

If banging the gavel can scare the criminals, then wouldn't all those torture instruments in the government office be redundant?

"Governor Lin, you scared my sister." Ye Zeyan said coldly.

Magistrate Lin: The little princess is fearless, so how could she be afraid of a gavel?

He bowed to the little princess apologetically, "Little princess, I'm sorry, I will tap you more gently next time."

Ye Zeyan raised his eyebrows and reached out to grab the gavel. "Did you hit the gavel when you were trying the case before?"

"Yes." Magistrate Lin answered honestly.

"You filmed it so many times, have you figured it out after the interrogation?" Ye Zeyan asked coldly.

Magistrate Lin grinned. Isn't it standard to bang the gavel during a trial?

If you don't bang the gavel to intimidate, the momentum will be weakened.

"Prefect Lin, haven't you heard that the truth lies not in the loudness of the voice? Isn't the trial of a case based on the banging of the gavel?" Little Yan Bao said crisply.

Prefect Lin: I’ve heard of the first half of the sentence, but not the second half. But I’ve heard of it now.

"Yes, the little princess is right. I will never bang the gavel when trying a case in the future."

"Shi Yuan, why don't you tell the truth? Did you kill those people? Why did they die so strangely? Why did you kill them?"

Prefect Lin wanted to ask all the questions in one breath.

Ye Zeyan raised his eyebrows. How could one be so anxious in trying a case?

Don’t all cases have to be examined slowly and carefully?

"No, I didn't kill him. I just helped find the target." Shi Yuan said.

He tried hard not to answer Lin Hongwen, but the words in his heart just came out.

He wanted to cover it with his hands, but the bailiff twisted his arms behind his back, causing him severe pain.

He felt the magical power that protected him disappear.

After being caught here, he wouldn't feel any pain even if he was tortured, let alone twisted like this, and no matter how serious the injury is, it will heal overnight.

He now felt fear, a fear he had never felt before.

"Who killed those people?" Lin Hongwen asked again.

"It's...Xizhou...ah!"

Before Shi Yuan could finish his words, he let out a scream and died.

The two yamen runners exclaimed, "Sir, it seems that Shi Yuan is really dead this time?"

Xiao Yanbao looked around vigilantly to make sure he was not assassinated.

Because there was definitely no hidden weapon flying into the lobby.

But Xiao Yanbao still asked Dahuang in his mind.

[Da Huang, did you see anyone assassinating Shi Yuan? ]

【Master, no. 】

When Xiao Yanbao asked Dahuang, she had already arrived at Shi Yuan's body.

He placed his hand on Shi Yuan's wrist and found that he was indeed dead.

[Master, this person must have been given a forbidden word. If he says this word, his meridians will be severed and he will die.]

【Why didn’t you say so earlier? 】

Xiao Yanbao angrily questioned Dahuang in his consciousness.

[Master, I am just guessing, I don't know. If I knew, would I not tell you? ]

Angry? Actually, Xiao Yanbao wasn't that angry. If he died, he died. She didn't care anyway. If she couldn't ask a human, she could ask a ghost.

Don't think that if you kill someone, she won't be able to get the truth out.

For others, it was killing to silence the witness, but for her, she had to kill the ghost as well to truly silence him.

Prefect Lin also came over and asked, "Is he really dead?"

Little Yanbao nodded, "Yeah, he's really dead."

Prefect Lin shook his hands. "How could this happen? How could this happen? I just asked one question and the clue is completely gone."

Ye Zeyan said angrily: "Why are you in such a hurry? Is there no way to ask after you die?"

Prefect Lin looked at Ye Zeyan in disbelief, but he didn't ask. How could he ask after he was dead? Could he really make a dead person speak?

But he suddenly remembered what Ye Zeyan said, the one about inviting the King of Hell. Could it be that the King of Hell that the Fourth Prince was talking about was really the King of Hell in the underworld?

"Fourth Prince, can you make the dead speak?"

"Of course the dead can't speak, but ghosts can speak." Ye Zeyan said lightly.

Little Yan Bao sighed softly, "Alas! Originally I didn't want to trouble the King of Hell, but in the end I had to trouble him."
