My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield-Chapter 144: No Punishment

Chapter 144: No Punishment

The Secret Shadow Guard and Su Wen brought Xue Wanjun into the dungeon and locked him inside.

"Congratulations, Lord Xue. You will be the first person to be imprisoned in the Secret Shadow Guard's history."

Su Wen looked at Xue Wanjun and smiled.

"What exactly do you want?" Xue Wanjun still did not know why Su Wen had captured him.

Su Wen shook his head and left.

Meanwhile in the palace, Feng Baichuan knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, that Su Wen is too lawless. Without any reason, he broke into the Martial Inspectorate and forcefully took Xue Wanjun away. If he could do this, wouldn't everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty be in danger?"

Emperor Zhou frowned and said, "Go, call Su Wen over! And Si Tu as well!"

The eunuch immediately left.

At this moment, Su Wen came to Si Tu's room.

"Uncle Si, Uncle Si!"

Su Wen entered the house and said with a smile, "This is the Snow Honey Tea that my father just brought back from Southeast Asia. I brought it for you to try."

As he spoke, he took out a small box.

Su Wen had just returned to the Prime Minister's mansion and told Su Nuannuan to steal it.

Si Tu looked at him before turning his attention to the small box in his hand. This was truly a rare commodity!

He smiled and said, "If you have something to say, say it. I don't dare to take advantage of your Old Su's family. Who dares to take advantage of your father, Su Changqing, he will remember it in his heart. He will the find a way to get back at the person sooner or later. Kid, is something wrong?"

"I captured Xue Wanjun!" Su Wen spoke truthfully.

Si Tu rubbed his chin. "The one from the Martial Inspectorate?"

"Yes!"

"Why did you do so?"

Facing Situ, Su Wen said honestly, "I suspect that he has colluded with the government of the influential families of the Li Prefecture and leaked the news. I want to find a breakthrough from him and find out what these government officials have done in the disaster of the Li Prefecture!"

Si Tu frowned. One had to know that the Secret Shadow Guards had just been established, and they had yet to fully grasp the matters of the capital, much less the outside world.

"You have proof?"

"Not yet!"

Si Tu was a little angry. "You arrested him without evidence?"

Su Wen said seriously, "I have a way to force it out!"

Situ sneered and said, "Feng Baichuan won't let you interrogate him. For you to just waltz into his Martial Inspectorate and take his people away, if he can't protect his subordinates, his prestige in the Martial Inspectorate will definitely plummet. He will definitely think of a way to get Xue Wanjun out as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he frowned. "Moreover, Xue Wanjun is an Earth Rank martial artist, and his will is tenacious. Even if he's tortured, I'm afraid he won't be able to pry open his mouth in the short term! Once he can't, then it'll be another mistake!"

Su Wen smiled and said, "As long as Uncle Si can help me buy some time from His Majesty, I can interrogate him without torture."

"No torture?" Si Tu was stunned. He muttered," If it's not through torture, we can buy some time."

Just as they were speaking, the eunuch who had responsible for passing the royal decree had arrived.

Si Tu took a glance at Su Wen before coming to a conclusion, "You better not lie to me. If you mess up, don't blame me for kicking you out of the Secret Shadow Guard!"

The two of them immediately stood up and entered the palace. At this moment, Su Wen realized that Si Tu did not even walk.

He was flying! That's right, he was just sitting cross-legged in midair and flying slowly. He didn't even take the blanket off his body.

After exiting the room, he flew straight into a horse carriage. Su Wen was stunned as he could not tell which leg of his was actually crippled.

"Is this the power of a Heaven Rank cultivator?" Su Wen muttered to himself.

When they entered the palace, it was still the same. Su Wen walked while Si Tu sat cross-legged as he flew on the side…

Just as they entered the main hall's entrance, they heard Feng Baichuan say from inside the hall, "Your Majesty, this Su Wen swallowed the Sorcerer God's Golden Gu, which has been agreed to be given to the Martial Inspectorate. Why did he transfer out to the Secret Shadow Guard? In my opinion, it's better to let him return to the Martial Inspectorate."

Feng Baichuan had a good plan, which was to bring Su Wen back and slowly teach him a lesson!

He had to let this kid know how powerful he was.

Others might be afraid of Su Changqing, but he wasn't!

At this moment, Si Tu led Su Wen inside as he coldly snapped, "Feng Baichuan, are you becoming senile? You actually dare to snatch my people?"

Feng Baichuan immediately shut his mouth.

He did not even dare to let out a squeak.

At this time, Si Tu landed on the ground and knelt down. He kowtowed obediently and said, "This servant Si Tu greets Your Majesty."

Emperor Zhou smiled and waved his hand. "I'll allow you to sit!"

Immediately, a eunuch brought over a chair and Si Tu floated onto it.

Emperor Zhou then turned to Su Wen and said in a deep voice, "Su Wen, let me ask you, why did you capture Xue Wanjun?"

Su Wen bowed. "This person is guilty!"

"Of what crime?"

Su Wen took a glance at Feng Baichuan, "I can't say it here, as Lord Feng is also present. If it gets leaked, it will cause trouble!"

When Feng Baichuan heard this, he couldn't take it anymore. "What are you talking about, kid? Your Majesty, I've followed you for so many years, when did I ever leak information in private? This kid is simply slandering me!"

Su Wen sneered. "You are not my father, so why should I believe you? Furthermore, I have joined the Secret Shadow Guard. Even if my own father breaks the law, I will still have to investigate. The case is confidential, so I cannot tell you."

Emperor Zhou frowned and said, "Then do you have evidence? Show it to me!"

Right at this moment, Situ spoke. "Your Majesty, the evidence is still being sorted out, but because Xue Wanjun's identity is special, he needs to be imprisoned for some time."

Emperor Zhou was a smart man, and hearing the words, he knew that they had no evidence yet.

However, he looked at Si Tu, then at Feng Baichuan, before falling into deep thought.

If the Secret Shadow Guards were to suffer a setback at the start, then be it the confidence of the Secret Shadow Guards or their ability to intimidate the officials would be greatly reduced.

This was something he did not want to see.

As for the Martial Inspectorate, it was mainly targeted at the people of the martial world. Even if their prestige was lower in the Royal Court, it didn't matter.

His heart was already tilting.

At this moment, Feng Baichuan said loudly, "Your Majesty, you can't do this! Xue Wanjun has fallen into Su Wen's hands. What should we do if he confesses? It's unknown how many innocent prisoners the former Secret Shadow Guards has framed through their methods!"

Si Tu countered in a low voice, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. We, the Secret Shadow Guards, will absolutely not torture Xue Wanjun while he's imprisoned!"

"Alright!" Emperor Zhou didn't give Feng Baichuan a chance to object and immediately decided. "Then it's settled. Minister Feng, you have to understand. It's just a case of investigation. Sometimes, it takes time. Since that's the case, let's do this first. Minister Feng, you can visit at any time. If you find Xue Wanjun being tortured, come and report it to me!"

Helpless, Feng Baichuan could only grit his teeth and say, "We'll do as His Majesty says!"

After exiting the palace, Si Tu asked in a low voice, "Before we entered the palace, we didn't have the time to talk about how to interrogate him. Now, tell me about your method."

Su Wen took a glance at him and knew that he was still worried. Thus, he began to explain, "We need to build a totally soundproof room first…"

Just as he said that, Feng Baichuan sneered, "Seclusion? That Xue Wanjun is an Earth Rank. Whether it's cultivation or exercising, he can divert attention and kill time!"

Su Wen shook his head and said, "It's not just solitary confinement. This room will be brightly lit day and night. After Xue Wanjun enters, we'll need to get someone else to look after him. Firstly, we need to cut off his food intake and the need for him to use his hands. We can't let him move around or lay down. We will also seal his cultivation and only let him sit at the base of the wall.

Secondly, the interior is not designed with any tools to tell the time, nor any books. There are only four walls. Thirdly, those who enter cannot speak to him, and only can keep an eye on his every move. Even if he sleeps, he can only sleep in an upright position. The moment his body moves, they are to immediately wake him up."

Su Wen knew very well that strict restrictions would drive people crazy.

Even someone as strong willed as Xue Wanjun might not be able to resist when faced with a method to wear down his will! It was only a matter of time!

This was especially true for those who were trapped inside. Once they lost their sense of time and ability to move, every second felt like a year, greatly amplifying the effect of their imprisonment.

Strictly speaking, it was not torture, but this treatment was an absolute hell towards one's will.
