Sure enough, as Qin Shubao expected, the day after the people in the East Palace were imprisoned in Dali Temple, Zhao Hongzhi couldn't stand the punishment and took the lead in confessing.

"Your Majesty, except for a few minor officials such as Zhao Hongzhi and Wang Hui who confessed to the prince, Wei Zheng, Su Dingfang, Shan Xiongxin and others still have not confessed.

"There are also the two live mouths caught in Ningxiang Pavilion that day, although they did not confess the mastermind behind the scenes, but they have already admitted that they were once Youzhou cavalry and were the subordinates of the traitor Luo Yi.

"Another ......"

Speaking of this, Li Xiaochang suddenly stopped, looking like he wanted to say something.

Li Yuan immediately frowned, and said unhappily: "You are Gu's clan brother, and you are Gu's trusted Dali Siqing, if you have anything to say, Gu must know all the truth." ”

"Yes." Li Xiaochang boldly said: "In addition, Zhao Hongzhi also confessed one thing, he said that the prince ordered Princess Jinyang to lead King Qin into the Ning Xiang Pavilion, Princess Jinyang agreed, and successfully led King Qin into the ambush circle on the day of the assassination. ”

"Bang!"

Li Xiao often hammered the throne angrily with Li Yuan, thinking that Li Yuan was going to punish Wang Yu, but he didn't expect it......

"These pups, when they die, they will climb and bite people." Li Yuan instructed: "Don't worry about this kind of trumped-up crime in the future, you can deal with this kind of person, you can use torture." ”

Sure enough, the little girl is still so favored.

While congratulating in his heart that he had not offended Wang Yu, Li Xiaochang obeyed Li Yuan's will: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

On the other side, Li Yuanji sent someone to send a message to Dou Dan: "The prince has no possibility of turning over, although he is tortured, collect more evidence of the crime." ”

Most of the people in the East Palace remained silent under the heavy punishment, neither admitting to participating in the assassination nor acknowledging that the prince was behind the scenes.

Dou Dan sneered at them: "No matter how hard your bones are, it is useless, you will be severely punished in the end, because the crown prince has confessed his guilt to His Majesty." ”

Everyone was shocked, but the next moment, they showed a mocking look at Dou Dan: "Dou Shangshu doesn't have to tell us, we haven't done it yet, we haven't done it, we don't know." ”

There are also people who confessed because of this, that is Zhao Hongzhi, not only that, but he also confessed Wang Yu.

After the interrogation officials left, Su Dingfang looked at Zhao Hongzhi coldly, and couldn't help but mock: "Master Zhao prides himself on being smart, but he didn't expect to be so stupid when it comes to the end. ”

"Who is stupid?" Zhao Hongzhi shouted menacingly, if he hadn't been beaten all over his body, he would definitely rush over to find Su Dingfang desperately.

Su Dingfang glanced around the cell, except for the people in the East Palace, there was no one else, not even the jailer.

But he still endured the pain on his body and came to Zhao Hongzhi, and whispered: "After the assassination operation was revealed, His Majesty ordered someone to block the East Palace, and also arrested General Shan and General Xue on the spot.

"Until we were all caught, no one had ever confessed Princess Jinyang, and even His Royal Highness had never mentioned Princess Jinyang's words, haven't you thought about why?"

Zhao Hongzhi subconsciously asked, "Why?" ”

Su Dingfang's gaze suddenly became complicated, and his tone was similar to muttering: "Because none of us have the evidence of her in our hands, not even in the hands of Her Highness."

"What's more, even if the matter is revealed, His Highness will not confess to her, because His Highness still expects her to save people."

"Save whom?" Zhao Hongzhi felt that after he had been served by the big punishment, his brain was not very bright.

"Of course it's to save Your Highness, is it to save you, an ungrateful villain?"

Facing Su Dingfang's disdainful gaze, Zhao Hongzhi suddenly felt very ashamed, but the next moment, he felt that he had done nothing wrong.

Now that it has reached this point, the prince has no possibility of turning over, and he will either be deposed or face greater punishment.

In that case, why didn't he say what he knew and fight for a lighter sentence?

So, Zhao Hongzhi shot back: "Hmph, don't think that I don't know that you want to keep Princess Jinyang, she and Lin Dalang are sworn brothers, and they also call you 'cousin' in private, so you are afraid that I will confess Princess Jinyang."

"What saves Your Highness? I think you want to keep Princess Jinyang, and then let Princess Jinyang save you. ”

"Idiot." Su Dingfang didn't bother to argue with him, so he simply stayed away from him.

At this time, Wei Zheng on the side suddenly spoke: "Master Zhao, you really shouldn't confess Princess Jinyang, because you can't fight her." ”

Zhao Hongzhi: "......"

It didn't take long for Wei Zheng, Xu Shimo, Zhao Hongzhi and other civil officials to be pulled out.

Dou Dan stood in front of them again, his eyes fierce: "If you want to live comfortably, it's best to recruit from the truth, otherwise, I will let you experience the ten tortures of the Criminal Department." ”

"Wait." Zhao Hongzhi immediately shouted: "I have already recruited them all, why do you still want to punish me?" ”

Dou Dan set his eyes on Zhao Hongzhi: "Your Majesty said that you are still biting Princess Jinyang when you are dying, damn it!" ”

Hearing the last two words, Zhao Hongzhi was so frightened that his legs weakened and he knelt down.

Seeing this, Dou Dan's words changed, but his tone was much calmer: "Master Zhao bites His Majesty's favorite Princess Jinyang without evidence, it really deserves to die." ”

Zhao Hongzhi heard his hint and immediately searched in his mind.

But after searching for a long time, I didn't find any evidence of Wang Yu's guilt from my memory.

He suddenly realized that Su Dingfang and Wei Zheng were right, he should not confess Princess Jinyang.

Seeing that Zhao Hongzhi was silent for a long time, Dou Dan knew that he had no evidence, so he immediately lowered his face and ordered: "Come on, use torture." ”

The jailers stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Dou Shangshu, who will be tried first?" ”

Dou Dan raised his hand and pointed: "He." ”

The jailers immediately dragged Wei Zheng out, and then carried him to the large urn in the corner.

"Put."

They let out a loud shout, put Wei Zheng behind the big urn, and then began to make a fire under the big urn.

Xu Shimo's face changed greatly, and he pointed at Dou Dan and scolded: "Dou Shangshu, how can you use such a torture that has lost your conscience?"

"Your Majesty is asking you to interrogate us, not to let you kill us, hurry up and carry Wei Xian Ma out."

Dou Dan was unmoved, and coldly ordered: "Add more firewood, and stop when he confesses." ”

"Yes." The jailers kept adding firewood to the bottom of the urn and burning it vigorously.

Wei Zheng soon felt the heat unbearable, and his feet next to the big urn had begun to get hot, and he couldn't stand a little.

He lifted his foot, trying to ease up, but before he could relax, he slipped and sat in the big urn.

His ass was so hot that he jumped up, but the soles of his feet were even hotter.

He hurriedly raised his left foot, but his right foot burned and hurt, and he hurriedly lowered his left foot and raised his right foot.

In this way, he lifted his left foot and then his right, and stood on his own feet to relieve the pain, and tried to make sure that the rest of his body did not touch the hot urn.

Dou Dan watched this scene with interest, and asked lazily: "Wei Xian horse recruit or not?" ”

"There is nothing to say." Wei Zheng gritted his teeth and said.

Dou Dan: "Okay, since your bones are so hard, then I'll help you roast them......"
