Chapter 311: Little Sly Jiang Takes Action
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the cold torture room of the Dali Temple, Zhou Huai was sitting on a cold torture chair in shackles. Because of the Emperor’s decree—no one was allowed to torture Zhou Huai, Zhou Huai had been fine for so many days after he came in. He had not even been tortured.

He refused to confess even when he was tortured, let alone when he wasn’t tortured. He sat there arrogantly like a lord. The minister of the Dali Temple was angered to death by this fellow, but there was a personal guard sent by the Emperor guarding him. He couldn’t even stab Zhou Huai secretly.

The minister took a sip of cold tea to suppress his anger. “Zhou Huai, how many times do I have to ask before you’re willing to confess?”

“What should I confess?” Zhou Huai said casually.

The minister said, “Has General Xiao not summoned Yan Congming alone since he obtained the list of spies?”

Zhou Huai snorted coldly. “You ask me? Then who should I ask?”

The minister of the Dali Temple was about to explode with anger. Young Master Yan had urged him for the results, but the Emperor refused to give it. Zhou Huai had clearly calculated the Emperor’s thoughts and was acting shamelessly in front of him.

The minister said, “As far as I know, the list of spies was obtained on the night of the attack on the Northwest Army Camp. From the time you infiltrated the enemy camp to the time you retreated into the snow mountain, you have been by General Xiao’s side. You know very well who he has seen and who he has not. I advise you to tell the truth. Otherwise, just the crime of resisting arrest many times is enough for you to spend half your life in prison!”

Zhou Huai snorted in disdain.

The minister of the Dali Temple clenched his fists and almost said the words “torture him”. He glanced at the Emperor’s personal guards at the side, stood up, walked to Zhou Huai’s side, and whispered, “Don’t think that I really can’t punish you. If I lure them away, I can kill you with a word.”

Zhou Huai looked at him calmly without any fear in his eyes. “Use all the torture tools on me. If I call out once, it’ll be my loss.”

The minister of the Dali Temple looked into his eyes and understood that he was not lying. Before they interrogated him, the minister of the Dali Temple had already investigated his background. He was an outlaw. He was only loyal to Xiao Yan in his life. A year ago, in order to spy on the Xiongnu enemies, he was captured by the Xiongnu people as bait. Those people’s methods were much crueler than the Dali Temple. They even drugged Zhou Huai, but he held on.

This was a tough bone that no one could chew. Even if the Emperor did not interfere, the minister of the Dali Temple was not confident that he could pry open his mouth.

The minister left angrily.

Zhou Huai sneered and smugly let someone escort him back to his cell.

The Emperor treated him quite well. Not only did he not let anyone torture him, but he also arranged for his closest guards to guard him. He did not doubt that this group of people would turn a blind eye even if he wanted to escape. However, he was not that stupid. Yan Huaijing already regretted locking him in the Dali Temple. The moment he went out, he would fall into his hands or Yan Jiuchao’s hands. In short, he was the most comfortable in the Dali Temple.

Zhou Huai fell asleep on the wooden board after eating his prison food.

That Yu fellow wanted him to testify for him? Dream on!

Zhou Huai quickly fell asleep.

In his half-asleep state, he felt the cell door being pushed open. His first reaction was that there was an assassin, but his second reaction was that there were the Emperor’s personal guards standing outside. Who could barge in without any regard for their lives? It was most likely to see if he was dead or not.
