That night, Qi Die saw that Gu Chengen's face was not very good, and he knew that he must have had a dispute with Mo Dongsheng in the imperial study during the day.

Pouring a cup of tea and handing it forward, she said softly: "Cheng En, don't be sad anymore, I believe that the emperor will definitely give you a fair statement tomorrow." ”

"Hmph, if the emperor wants to give it, he will give it today!" Gu Chengen took the teacup in Qi Die's hand, snorted coldly, and said dissatisfiedly: "If it weren't for the emperor's grinding and hesitation, how could Mo Dongsheng seize the opportunity to hit the pillar?" ”

"He hit the pillar this time, but he did all the wronged drama!"

Qi Die held Gu Chengen's hand and comforted: "Chengen, this matter is very important, and the emperor should handle it carefully, you ......"

"Master!" Suddenly, the door opened, and I saw Yue Yunpeng walk in with a solemn face.

"What?" Gu Chengen was in a bad mood at this time, so his tone was not very good.

Yue Yunpeng arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "Just now, my subordinates accidentally heard a little maid say that on the day of the eldest lady's accident, the third aunt took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and entered the eldest lady's room through the window. ”

"What?" When Gu Chengen heard this, he stood up "poof".

There was a coldness emanating from his body, he glared at Yue Yunpeng angrily, and said sharply: "You say it again!" ”

What Yue Yunpeng meant by this, Gu Chengen knew it as soon as he heard it.

It's just that he didn't expect that the third aunt would really be so bold and dare to do something to the eldest lady.

After hearing this, Qi Die also pretended to be shocked and stood up, looking at Yue Yunpeng nervously.

Yue Yunpeng took a deep breath and said slowly: "Master, my subordinates have already personally gone to the third aunt's courtyard to secretly investigate. ”

"The third aunt's foot was sprained when she jumped from the window and escaped, and the medicine used was not burn medicine, but for bruises."

After a pause, he said word by word: "In other words, the third aunt is the real murderer of the eldest lady!" ”

The clenched fists made a "creaking" sound, and Gu Chengen gritted his teeth and said, "What about Mo Zhiyan?" ”

Yue Yunpeng was stunned, but he didn't expect Gu Chengen to suddenly mention Mo Zhiyan, and hurriedly said, "The young lady is in the dungeon." ”

"Of course I know she's in the dungeon, I'm asking how she's doing!" Gu Chengen squinted his eyes and said impatiently.

Yue Yunpeng said truthfully: "According to your instructions before entering the palace during the day, the young lady was whipped and whipped. ”

"It's good if you can't die!" Gu Chengen pursed his lips, his eyes were cold: "Take the third aunt to the dungeon and go directly to the punishment of 'grooming'!" ”

Yue Yunpeng's face changed, "Master, if this is known by Xiangye and the second son, I'm afraid it's inappropriate!" ”

This punishment of "grooming" was mentioned as early as the Queen Mother's birthday banquet that year, in order to scare Jiang Qinglan and Shen Biyun, who were spreading rumors.

Just like the folk slaughtering pigs with boiling water and then removing the hair, first put the person on the iron bed, then strip off the clothes, pour the boiling water on the body several times, wait for the skin on the body to boil, and then use an iron brush to brush off the skin and flesh on his body one by one.

Until the flesh and skin are brushed away, revealing the white bones, and the tortured person will die of anger before he can wait for the end.

This "grooming" punishment is actually very similar to Ling Chi.

However, there are many kinds of Ling Chi.

Gu Nianshi was on duty in the palace tonight, although he was not in the mansion, but Gu Chengen ordered such a heavy criminal law to be imposed on the third aunt, even if Gu Nianshi couldn't receive the news in time tonight.

But tomorrow, as soon as Gu Nianshi comes back, this matter will not be hidden no matter what.

According to Gu Nianshi's filial piety to the third aunt, he still has to kill Gu Nianshi?

"Hmph, since the third aunt dares to kill her mother, she should think of such a day!" Gu Chengen flicked his sleeves and said quietly: "Besides, since I entered the palace as a deputy commander, I don't take my eldest brother in my eyes more and more!" ”

"It's not that I can't tolerate their mother and son this time, it's that the third aunt is cocooning herself!"

After that, he walked out and said to Yue Yunpeng: "I'll go to see my father, you go to Wutong Garden first!" ”

"Yes, master!" Yue Yunpeng knew that Gu Chengen had made up his mind, so it was impossible to change it, so he could only nod and answer.

Qi Die's eyes moved slightly, and she also quickened her steps to follow behind, and followed Gu Chengen to Gu Huai's courtyard.

At this time, Gu Huaigang took off his clothes and fell asleep.

With a "bang", his closed eyes snapped open.

"Who?" With a hint of panic in his voice, Gu Huai sat up and stared at Gu Chengen and Qi Die who broke through the door with wide eyes.

"En'er, what are you doing here so late?" After seeing the person clearly, Gu Huai's face was ugly, and there was a slight question in his tone.

Gu Chengen took two steps forward, ignoring Gu Huai's displeasure at all, and said loudly: "Father, my son is naturally important when he comes over so late. ”

"The murderer of my mother has been found!"

"Huh?" After hearing this, Gu Huai frowned, "Who?" ”

"Father will follow me to the dungeon and see." Gu Chengen sneered and turned to leave.

Gu Huai looked at the backs of Gu Chengen and Qi Die, and became more and more dissatisfied.

Raising his hand and lifting a coat over his body, he followed him out of the room.

The three of them had just arrived at the door of the dungeon, and before they could enter, they heard a heart-rending cry of pain from a woman inside.

The screaming movement made people's scalp tingle in the middle of the night, and they could get goosebumps all over their bodies.

"Ah, it hurts!"

"Not me, really...... Yes! ”

"En'er, this ......" Gu Huai tightened his coat, and was just about to ask Gu Chengen who the woman inside was, but Gu Chengen raised his feet and entered the dungeon.

As soon as I entered, I was greeted by a strong smell of blood.

I saw that the third aunt's limbs were tied to the shelf, and her body was stripped naked except for a belly pocket and short obscene pants.

The skin was already red and swollen from pouring hot water five or six times.

There are blisters in some places, and in some places it has been brushed with an iron brush, and the eerie white bones are faintly visible, which makes people tremble when they see their legs.

Gu Chengen walked over and looked coldly at the third aunt who was about to turn her back in pain: "Third aunt, you killed my mother, right?" ”

If the third aunt admits to this crime, it will definitely be a dead end, and there is no possibility of survival.

She bit her lip tightly, "Big ...... Son, it's not me! ”

Gu Chengen also knew that it was absolutely impossible for the third aunt to let go, so he didn't hope she would admit it just now.

"Old ...... Lord, woo woo...... Save the concubine! The third aunt saw Gu Huai who came in in a blink of an eye, and cried wolf even more with her throat: "Master, save me, save me!" ”

Gu Huai was all her hope, she looked at Gu Huai with expectant and helpless eyes, and choked up: "Master, the concubine doesn't know what crime she has committed, the eldest prince treats the concubine so cruelly, you have to be the master for me!" ”

"Cheng En, the third aunt said during the day, she has not been in and out of Bihua Courtyard, what are you doing when you caught her here?" Gu Huai glared at Gu Chengen, and was frightened by the miserable third aunt in front of him.

Also, no matter what the third aunt says, she is his concubine, but now she is naked and naked, where is his old face?

After that, he made a gesture to untie the rope on the third aunt's body.

"Father!" Gu Chengen's eyebrows were cold, and he raised his hand to stop Gu Huai's movements, "The third aunt doesn't shed tears when she doesn't see the coffin, it doesn't matter if she doesn't admit it now, her son has a way to pry her mouth open!" ”

"Master, master!" When the third aunt heard this, she immediately turned pale and shouted: "The eldest prince wants to bend and make a move!" Master, you can't let the eldest prince do whatever he wants! ”

"The concubine has had no contact with the eldest lady in the past two years, so there is absolutely no reason to harm her!"

Gu Chengen gave his entourage a look, and the iron brush in the man's hand scraped off the third aunt's arm again.

"Ahh

Immediately after, there was another shrill and piercing scream.

The flesh and blood were blurred, and the third aunt was tortured to the point that she had no strength to hold on.

"I ...... I say! ”

Gu Huai looked at a piece of red meat that had been scalded by boiling water and was almost cooked, falling down the iron brush, and he felt a feeling of nausea.

Bending over and retching, he said to Gu Chengen with difficulty: "Let it go...... Let her go! ”

Gu Chengen saw that the third aunt couldn't hold it anymore, so he hooked his lips and waved his hand, "Let her go." ”

The rope on the third aunt's body was untied, and she fell to the ground with a "bang".

The wound touched the ground, and the pain made her legs curl up.

Gu Huai couldn't bear to turn his head and no longer looked at the third aunt, "Third aunt, what's going on, you can tell the truth!" ”

The third aunt's dirty face was pressed to the ground, and through the hair that was covered in front of her by the unkempt hair, she saw Qi Die standing beside Gu Chengen.

Qi Die covered her mouth with a handkerchief, not knowing if she was scared, or if she was nauseous in her stomach like Gu Huai just now.

There was a strong hatred in the tears in her eyes, and she raised her arm hard, and she struggled to stand up.

Shaking her body, she walked towards Qi Die with weak steps, she gritted her teeth in a hateful voice: "Eldest son, kill your mother's ......"

Qi Die suddenly nervously blocked in front of Gu Chengen, and shouted urgently: "Chengen, be careful!" ”

As she spun her body, a poisonous needle flew out of her sleeve and pierced into the third aunt's body without a trace.

The third aunt "bang" and fell to the ground in response.

He gasped for breath in his mouth, but he couldn't speak.

"Cheng En, the third aunt, she actually wants to kill you!" Pulling Gu Chengen aside, Qi Die's eyes were red, and his hands holding Gu Chengen were full of sweat.

It can be seen that she was really worried just now.

On the one hand, Gu Chengen was moved by Qi Die's concern, and on the other hand, he was annoyed by the third aunt's desire to "do something" to him just now.

Of course, although the third aunt did not really hurt him, her cruel tone was heard by his own ears.

"Come on, continue to torture the third aunt!" After hugging Qi Die and walking out a few steps, Gu Chengen turned his head to Gu Huai and said, "Father, the third aunt murdered her mother, the evidence is conclusive. ”

"If you don't believe me, I'll send you human and physical evidence!"

With that, he strode away from Gu Huai's surprised eyes.
