077. Torture to extract confessions exposed
Zhang Xianxian was stunned for a moment before continuing: "The slave maid had fallen into the pond at that time, and she didn't know what happened to the princess later? ”
"Looks like we're going to have to go on in a different way!" As soon as her words fell, a trace of strangeness flashed in King Jing Yao's eyes, and he opened his mouth gloomily.
Before she could respond to his words, she was set up by the guards who had rushed in and tied to the stakes that had been in place in the cell. This is the equipment used to extract confessions from torture in every cell.
Zhang Xianxian, who was tied up by five flowers, looked at the red stove in front of him, and the few iron solders on the burning charcoal fire had already burned red. The scalp couldn't help but tingle.
"What is this for, right? Tell the truth, otherwise. ”
King Jing Yao swept over with a cold eye, and the coldness in his eyes made people shudder.
"The chamberlain, who went to call me at that time, is also there, and he can testify for me." Forcing himself to calm down, Zhang Xianxian said nervously.
"Tell Li Xiang to come over." King Jing Yao stared at her face, but he commanded in a deep voice.
And at this time inside the palace.
A man dressed as an attendant was strangling Li Xiang's neck: "Zhilu Dao wants to say something to the king, right?" ”
"Know, know the way." Li Xiang had already turned pale with fright, and replied tremblingly.
At this moment, someone called Li Xiang's name, and the person holding Li Xiang's neck glanced nervously in that direction. One hand pinched Li Xiang's cheeks to force him to open his mouth, and with the other hand, he quickly stuffed a pill of unknown composition into Li Xiang's mouth, and only after he spit it out did he let go of him, and disappeared into the corner before the person who came to find Li Xiang saw him.
"What did you give me?" Li Xiang asked anxiously, but he couldn't hear a response.
"Li Xiang, didn't the king order you to wait by the heavenly prison? What is running blindly? The attendant who came to beat Li Xiang shouted impatiently.
"I'm sick to my stomach, come to the toilet." Li Xiang replied with a squeak. The eyes secretly looked at the place where the man had disappeared.
"Let's go, the king has been blamed for the long delay, can you afford it?" At the urging of the man, Li Xiang followed with a pale face.
And the one who was strangling Li Xiang's neck also quietly retreated.
In the dark, another man in the clothes of an attendant hurriedly followed, and only when he saw the man enter a courtyard did he retreat and run all the way to the hospital.
Inside the hospital. The first imperial doctor sat on the chair with a cower, beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead, and from time to time he peeked at the person sitting on the other side with his eyes.
It didn't look like a person in the palace, but he wasn't scared at all, so he was very worried. Who is this? dared to trespass into the palace, no one was discovered, and he held himself hostage in the room where he lived, and he didn't say a word. He was very nervous, but he didn't dare to move!
The door creaked open, and the imperial doctor's eyes lit up as if he had seen a savior, but when he heard the sound of the master, it instantly dimmed.
The person who came in was the one who was watching Li Xiang just now, and after calling out to the master respectfully at this moment, he stood in place and looked vigilantly at the imperial doctor who was kneeling on the ground.
And the one who is called the master is Mo Li, who goes to prison every day to accompany Zhang Xianxian. At this moment, he only made one look, and the person who was watching Li Xiang had already consciously tied up the imperial doctor Wuhuada, plugged his ears with something, kicked him onto the bed, and covered him with a futon. The whole process was done in one go, and Mo Li didn't seem to have an opinion on his approach, and he didn't say a word during the whole process of doing that.
Only after he had done everything did he speak: "Say it! ”
"Someone threatened Li Xiang, it's Geng Shuhuai's person."
"Geng Shuhuai? Queen Geng Qiuzi's adopted son? Killed the queen's daughter Jing Xinran? Hehe, interesting! Although Mo Li's mouth was funny, there was only mockery and displeasure in his expression. No matter what Geng Shuhuai's idea was, he should never have hit Xian Xian's body!
A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, Mo Li glanced at the imperial doctor who was still squirming in the quilt, and then ordered: "Let him go!" ”
"Yes." The man replied respectfully, but in his heart he was surprised by his command, of course he understood that what his master said about letting him go was not as simple as loosening his bonds. However, the master has been waiting for them to take action, and now that they have finally taken action, why has the master changed his mind?
Didn't you keep saying that this and the Imperial Doctor were the key to it, so you decided to stay here? If he is let out of the country, he is being threatened by the talented people, then that Miss Zhang will really be in a worrying situation. Didn't the master rush back from Haoyang in a hurry to save her? But when he understood his own weight, the man did not say anything superfluous.
And Mo Li obviously didn't have the time to pay attention to his thoughts, so he asked again: "What is Junzimo's action?" ”
"He only sent a nursery rhyme to the prison."
"No other movement?" Mo Li frowned, his expression at this time was obviously much heavier than before. With his safety, he wouldn't let her have an accident, but ...... He was worried about the gentleman's indifferent attitude. If he is indifferent at this time, then his heart for Xian Xian really has to be carefully considered!
Heavenly prison and King Jing Yao were fiddling with the red-hot soldering iron in their hands, and their expressions were indifferent as if they were doing leisurely things, but the atmosphere that was obviously extremely tense was still inexplicably depressing.
Li Xiang knelt on the ground tremblingly, not daring to come out. His eyes were running around, and he couldn't calm down. The person who was interrogated in front of him was very calm, and even the person being interrogated had such a faint expression, why did he, a witness, suffer so much?
"Li Xiang, tell me what you saw at the time." After half a ring, King Jing Yao saw that Li Xiang was so afraid that he didn't dare to tell a lie, so Cheng Yu spoke leisurely.
"When the slave arrived, he saw that Miss Zhang pushed the princess, and the princess fell to the ground."
"What was the princess's reaction at the time?"
"No, no response!" Li Xiang stammered and said that the person just let him speak, remembering the pill he had just swallowed, he could only bite the bullet and continue.
"No response? How did you get back to the palace? ”
"It was the palace maid who was waiting for the princess who gave the princess to the dormitory." "Carried back?" "Yes." King Jing Yao's sentences were tight, and Li Xiang was also prepared, the conversation between the two was fast-paced, but it was enough for Zhang Xianxian to hear clearly. Li Xiang is telling a lie, and things are destined to get complicated, "That means the princess is seriously injured?" Then why didn't you report the matter to the Lone King at that time? This time, King Jingyao's voice was obviously much colder.
