The government prison, in the torture cell.

The dark and damp torture chamber was full of cobwebs because no one had stepped on it all year round, and the torture instruments hanging on the walls had long been covered with thick dust.

It can be seen that Han Fang can be regarded as a good parental official, and he never disdains to use heavy punishment to coerce criminals; But today, the torture chamber, which has been vacant for several years, is not destined to remain silent.

With a low snort of pain, the murderer, who had been pressed to the ground by the sergeant and had already been tortured, was pouring blood out of his mouth.

Yunxiao has worn out all his patience and reason, watching the time pass minute by minute, these two hard bones seem to be going to fight him, no matter how he coerces and seduces, he just refuses to tell what poison Chu Xingyue has in his body.

Thinking of the princess lying on the bed with a snow-white face, Yunxiao's heart seemed to be tormented on an iron pot, and all the anxiety and torture in his heart were vented on these two remnants of the murderer at this moment.

Yunxiao sat on the bench, the blood in his eyes was still not half a point, he was holding an iron whip in his hand, the iron whip was already covered with flesh and blood, he moved his mouth coldly, and said: "This son follows the prince's side, whether it is on the battlefield or in Beijing, it can be regarded as a lot of hard bones, to tell the truth, like your model of Lao Tzu has not seen it in his eyes, and the real means of this son have not been used, if you want to taste it, I am happy to let you feel it; It's just that this taste is not something that ordinary people can bear. ”

Speaking of this, Yunxiao looked at the bloodstained murderer again, and said, "Actually, as long as you answer my son's question obediently, I will not embarrass you; Everyone is a person who does things for the master, and can understand each other; My princess is poisoned and unconscious at the moment, and I will not ask you who made you do it, as long as you tell the princess what poison is in it; Brother, those who know the times are Junjie, as long as you tell the princess what poison is in it, I can call the shots and let you go. ”

Listening to Yunxiao's words, one of the murderers bared a mouthful of bloodstained teeth and sneered at Yunxiao.

"Young Master Yunxiao, do you really think we were deceived? As long as we tell the truth, will you really let us go? Ha ha! Even if you do promise to let us go, we probably won't survive. ”

"We are here to take Princess Ling's life, if she lives, we will definitely die; In that case, it is better to die at your hands, and it is better to be more simply. ”

Hearing this, Yunxiao immediately clenched his fists and secretly said stubbornly.

In a fit of rage, he immediately got up from the bench, walked over to the assailant who had spoken, raised his foot and kicked him several times in the chest.

The murderer had already been tortured, and now he had been kicked a few times in the sky, and the blood was pouring out of his nose and mouth without money, and for a while people were really worried about whether he would be able to live.

And when the other murderer saw his companion being tortured like this, his originally resolute eyes immediately showed a bit of timidity, and it was this cowardice that quickly flashed from the bottom of his eyes, but was immediately noticed by Yunxiao.

Torture prisoners, what they are most afraid of is that they are twisted into a rope, and each would rather die than give in; As long as one of them reveals the slightest greed for life and fear of death, there will be a breakthrough.

Noticing the timid look of the other murderer, Yunxiao pretended not to see it, and continued to torture the murderer who had lost half his life at his feet.

He just wants to let another murderer watch it well, and if he doesn't explain the truth, he won't easily ask for a simple death.

When Zhao Ling appeared here, he happened to see that Yunxiao had already tortured a murderer.

Yunxiao didn't expect Zhao Ling to rush back at this time, so he quickly stopped what he was doing, and knelt in front of Zhao Ling with a sad expression when he walked up, "Lord Wang, my subordinates are not doing well, let the princess be poisoned with arrows, and ask the prince to punish him." ”

For Yunxiao's mistake this time, Zhao Ling was naturally angry; But right now, knowing what poison Chu Xingyue has in his body is the top priority.

Zhao Ling, who was wearing a black cloak, stood in the torture room like a towering mountain, glanced at the mess in front of him, and asked Yunxiao, "Can you ask it?" ”

Yunxiao shook his head in shame.

Zhao Ling looked at Yunxiao unhappily, "Back then, you followed this king's side, whether it was killing the enemy on the battlefield or charging into battle, you never disappointed this king, but I didn't expect that after returning to Beijing, you made repeated mistakes; Yunxiao, you are forcing this king to throw you into the military camp again to have a good experience. ”

Yunxiao was so ashamed that he couldn't even raise his head, and knocked again, "It's the incompetence of his subordinates." ”

"Nope! You are not incompetent, and this king will never raise incompetent people around him, you have lived a stable life for too long, and your heart is soft. ”

After saying this, Zhao Ling walked up to the murderer who was almost unable to climb up anymore after being punished by Yunxiao, took out the porcelain bottle containing Chu Xingyue's poisonous blood from his sleeve, and shook it gently, "Do you know what this is?" ”

The murderer opened his bloodshot eyes, and at this moment, his eyes were already full of blood, and he could clearly see what was being held by Zhao Ling in his hand.

Zhao Ling didn't seem to want his answer, and continued, "This is the poisonous blood that this king asked people to take from the princess, and the doctor confirmed that the toxin in the blood is extremely domineering, and ordinary people will be poisoned immediately if they touch even a little; This is the deadly poison you have used on this king and princess, and now, this king intends to let you taste it for yourselves, how about it? ”

After speaking, Zhao Ling pulled out the cork of the porcelain bottle, looked at the murderer who was constantly struggling after hearing his words, and personally pinched the murderer's chin and poured poisonous blood into it.

'Ahem, ahem'!

The murderer clutched his throat in pain, coughing painfully as if he wanted to cough out his heart and lungs.

When the other murderer saw that his companion was actually fed poisonous blood, he let out a cry of pain on the spot, and then, as if he had a mental breakdown, shouted at Zhao Ling: "King Ling spare his life!" King Ling spares his life! ”

Hearing that his companion actually pleaded with Zhao Ling at this moment, the murderer who was fed with poisonous blood immediately seemed to realize something, and shouted loudly at his companion with bloodshot eyes.

"Bastard! What are you begging him for mercy for? We did this kind of thing, and it was destined to end badly, do you really think that if we only ask for love, we will be able to have a way to live? ”

After saying this, the murderer who was fed poisonous blood immediately twisted and convulsed all over his body, and at this moment, the toxins flowing into his body began to really take effect.

Seeing that his companion actually showed such a painful and terrifying expression after being injected with poisonous blood, the murderer who was greedy for life and afraid of death finally relented and compromised, "Lord Wang, spare your life, whatever you want to know, the little one will tell you." ”

Zhao Ling sneered and looked at the murderer who kept begging for mercy, slowly stood up straight, his eyes were full of disdain, and at the same time looked at Yunxiao, motioning for him to come forward and ask.

Yunxiao saw early on that this guy was not strong-willed, so he deliberately tortured his companion in front of him, and the means used were just to attack the heart; Sure enough, after the prince fed a bottle of poisonous blood into the mouth of that hard bone, this guy finally took the initiative to open a * generation because he couldn't bear it.

Yunxiao looked coldly at the murderer who was kneeling on the ground and kept praying for his life, and asked, "What is the poison in the princess's body?" ”

The murderer showed a look of fear and fear, knelt down in front of Yunxiao, his eyes were full of sincerity, "Yunxiao Gongzi, this question of yours is not that you don't want to tell you, but that even we don't know about it. ”

Yunxiao and Zhao Ling were stunned at the same time, obviously they didn't expect to get such an answer after making such a lot of effort.

On the spot, Yunxiao was in a hurry, grabbed the murderer's collar and lifted him up, his eyes showed a fierce light, "What do you mean by this?" Didn't you apply the poison on the short arrows? Why don't you know? ”

The murderer was frightened by Yunxiao's fierce appearance, and tears flowed out of his eyes, mixed with the blood on his face.

"The little one just obeys orders, when the master above handed over the poison and short arrows to the small one at the same time, the small one is only responsible for killing, and he doesn't know what the name of the poison in his hand is and what its ingredients are."

It was also these three murderers who were unlucky enough, but they didn't expect that their assassination target Chu Xingyue was actually talented, and they didn't escape in time after the assassination was successful, and in the end, their identities were exposed, and they fell into the hands of Yunxiao and others and were tortured, and their lives were in danger.

Yunxiao hated it at the moment, and he could almost bite a mouthful of silver teeth, looking at the frightened and trembling murderer in his hands, he roared angrily, and used his strength in his arm to smash this bastard to the ground.

Then, he turned around and knelt in front of Zhao Ling, and said with a sad face, "Lord Wang, it is all the incompetence of his subordinates, let the princess suffer this assassination, if the princess has a big problem, her subordinates will definitely not survive." ”

At this moment, Zhao Ling's face was also tense to the extreme, and the hand hidden under his sleeve had already been clenched into an iron fist.

He obviously didn't expect things to develop like this now, and his hoarse voice seemed to be forced out of his mouth, and he asked, "Who sent you to assassinate Princess Ling?" ”

The murderer who was swept to the ground trembled like a sieve, and when he heard Zhao Ling's inquiry, he knelt on the ground and confessed truthfully, "The little one is to obey the orders of the Xuan Palace." ”

Xuanwangfu?

Zhao Ling's eyes widened sharply when he heard these three words, and he looked at the murderer kneeling on the ground in disbelief.

"You mean, King Xuan made you do this?"

The murderer had long been dizzy by the sharp turn of the situation in front of him, where did he still have the heart to carefully taste the meaning of Zhao Ling's words.

He is a good person from King Xuan's Mansion, but to be precise, he is a person who belongs to Princess Xuan Su Yingxue.

Now when he heard King Ling ask him if he obeyed King Xuan's words, he was just stunned, and then nodded incessantly.

"The little one is a killer raised by King Xuan's mansion, and he has always obeyed the arrangements of his masters; His Royal Highness King Ling, the little one has explained everything, and asked His Royal Highness King Ling to spare the little one's life. ”
