Chapter XXIV: The Punishment Room

In this way, Zhong Lijun took the young man escorted by the two guards behind him to the outside of the punishment room.

The torture chamber was hidden in the layers of rooms on the other side of the garden, and it was extremely desolate and cold, and it would be difficult to find it if no one had been here.

Zhong Lijun glanced at the young man, and saw that the young man's pants were already wet, obviously scared to pee.

The two sturdy guards, straightening their backs, held the young man to death, always waiting for Zhong Lijun's orders.

Zhong Lijun looked at the young man, and the young man looked at Zhong Lijun's eyes with a frightened look, he was now completely out of strength, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Zhong, spare me." ”

Facing the man in front of him who smelled of urine, this Zhong Lijun was naturally a little unbearable.

The steward of the punishment room, hearing that Zhong Lijun was coming, hurriedly ran out around a big banyan tree in the courtyard of the punishment room.

The steward was wearing a hat and was a very old-looking man, and Zhong Lijun also turned his head when he heard the footsteps, focusing his attention on the steward.

"Lord Zhong, I won't let me know before you come, so I'll send someone to meet you. The steward said flatteringly, but Zhong Lijun did not speak, and the steward glanced at the young man behind the middle route army who was escorted by two big men.

The steward then spoke again: "My lord, isn't this a small kitchen bolt, what did he do wrong?"

Zhong Lijun frowned, and he asked the steward, "Do you know him?"

"Know, know, we are up and down the Prime Minister's Mansion, who doesn't know this little clever ghost, you see that he looks good, but he has fascinated a lot of girls. The steward smiled and said.

Hearing this, Zhong Lijun squinted at the young man, and the young man hurriedly locked his eyes on Zhong Lijun, hoping that Zhong Lijun would change his mind at this time.

No one wanted to come to the place of the punishment chamber in the first place, so although they were standing at the door of the punishment chamber, it was also extremely desolate.

"I see. Zhong Lijun muttered, "I've been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for so many years, but I've never seen this person. ”

As he spoke, he said to the steward, "Take him in and give him punishment." ”

Hearing this, the steward was stunned for a moment, and there was a little more surprise on his old cheeks, and his face suddenly changed, even the two guards standing at the door of the punishment room were also surprised, although this punishment, although it was listed on the punishment record of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it had never been used on anyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"My lord, what kind of mistake did this kid make, he needs to be punished by the palace. The steward said with some confusion.

"Do you still need to take care of this? Is your punishment room for trial of cases, or for punishment?" Zhong Lijun asked rhetorically.

Zhong Lijun's words made the steward suddenly speechless, but he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly clasped his hands into fists: "Lord Zhong, if you want to use this punishment, it is better to tell the prime minister first." ”

Listening to the steward's words, Zhong Lijun smiled helplessly: "I want to know, what did this man do in the Prime Minister's Mansion that is worthy of you to intercede for him one by one?"

Zhong Lijun's words made the steward stunned for a moment, he could only frown, and then said to the guard behind him, "Bring him in." ”

"Spare your life!" Suddenly, the young man hurriedly cried out loudly, and at this time, he knew what despair was.

When the guards in the punishment chamber heard the steward's words, they hurriedly stepped forward and took the young man from the hands of the two guards who were escorting the young man.

"Lord Zhong, spare your life, I know it's wrong. The young man then shouted, "Break my legs, but don't touch this torture!"

Zhong Lijun ignored the young man's loud shouting, he stood at the door, looking at Zhong Lijun in charge, not knowing what else the Lord Zhong in front of him was going to do: "Lord Zhong, you go back first, we will deal with the people." ”

Zhong Lijun's eyes stared at the old face of the steward, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Let me tell you, I have already told the prime minister about this matter, and the prime minister also thinks that it is properly handled, I will wait here now, and when you finish the execution, you will come out and report to me immediately." ”

Hearing such words, the person in charge could only reluctantly agree: "Yes! ”

So saying, the steward turned and went in.

Zhong Lijun glanced around at the place where he was standing now, and he walked to the wall of the punishment chamber and leaned lightly.

The two guards stood tensely.

"Did you two hear what you were in charge of just now?" Zhong Lijun bent down, pulled a piece of grass from the ground, and held it to the corner of his mouth, he remembered something, and asked the two guards in front of him who he had brought over.

The two guards didn't know how to answer at this time, after all, they didn't know what Zhong Lijun wanted to hear.

"Let me ask you two questions, are you deaf?" Zhong Lijun asked again when he saw that the two people in front of him did not speak.

Although the two guards were not in the direct sunlight, their faces were already dripping with a lot of sweat.

The guard who was close to Zhong Lijun was finally the first to speak, "Lord Zhong, we know him. ”

"Oh, then it seems that the butler is right, I'm afraid that up and down the Prime Minister's Mansion, except for me and the Prime Minister, you all know him?" Zhong Lijun smiled suspiciously.

The sturdy guard didn't speak, and his sweat flowed even harder.

Zhong Lijun asked again, "Tell me what kind of person he is." ”、

The sturdy guard knew that Zhong Lijun was asking him, but he never dared to look at Zhong Lijun's eyes: "Lord Zhong, this small bolt in the kitchen is usually very active, and everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion likes him more, after all, the kitchen is a place where all of us must deal with, but he is very greedy and cheap, and he likes women, and the women of the Prime Minister's Mansion have been touched by him, but everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak, after all, they have offended the kitchen, and they can't eat a good meal." ”

Hearing this, Zhong Lijun nodded silently, and then he said: "The manager of this kitchen, it seems that he doesn't do much, I don't believe it yet, he doesn't know that there is such a person doing evil in the kitchen." ”

"Lord Zhong, don't say it, the kitchen manager also likes small plugs, so we all dare to be angry. The guard said.
