Chapter 742: Torture

In the gloomy inner prison, the air was filled with the smell of blood.

The rows of dungeons were overcrowded, and they were full of palace maids and maids who were handcuffed in chains, and the guards of the inner prison couldn't help but sigh that the last time the inner prison was so lively was when he was young.

The sound of torture was heard not far away, and almost everyone trembled.

In the room in charge of interrogation, Yun Xi stood aside and personally supervised the torture of the prisoners.

He hadn't rested for several nights, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Soon the chamberlain in front of him couldn't bear the torture and fainted, Yun Xi glanced at it and ordered, "Take it down, the next one." ”

Then she was dragged over by a palace maid, who passed by the waiter who had just fainted after being tortured.

Seeing the hideous wounds on the chamberlain's body, the palace maid's face became more and more pale.

Soon the palace maid was fixed on the torture stool, she looked at the row of torture instruments in front of her, blinked her eyes vigorously, and the beads of sweat on her forehead rolled down in large pieces.

Yun Xi, who was originally a little careless due to exhaustion, sat up straight unconsciously, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he slowly asked, "Do you know why the little prince contracted smallpox?" ”

"The slave doesn't know......" The palace maid's eyes kept wandering, but she didn't dare to look at Yunxi.

Yun Xi waved his hand and said to the torture officer on the side: "It's another hard-mouthed one, let's do it." ”

The palace maid didn't expect to execute her so soon, and she was obviously listening to a few more questions in the cell just now.

Seeing that the torturer was getting closer and closer to her, the palace maid gritted her teeth and closed her eyes forcefully.

When the punishment fell on her, the palace maid didn't last long, so she couldn't help but speak: "Lord Yun, all the slaves and maids are recruited...... Ask Lord Yun to protect the slave and maid. ”

Yun Xi raised his hand, and the torture officer took a step back with his movements, and then Yun Xi walked in front of the palace maid and lifted the palace maid's chin with the torture instrument.

"It depends on how valuable the thing you say."

Compared with the gloomy inner prison, the sun outside is too bright, and after Yun Xi came out, he didn't have time to change out of the blood-stained official uniform, so he hurriedly entered the palace to see Wen Xinyuan.

As soon as Wen Xinyuan learned that the little prince had suddenly contracted smallpox, he became suspicious about the matter. The Imperial City Division has always been rigorous, and it is only fitting to investigate this matter.

Yun Xi's fairy-like figure, when he walked in, there were still blood stains on his white clothes, which showed that some means were used.

Yun Xi bowed, "See Your Majesty." ”

"No need, I didn't find anything." Wen Xinyuan looked at Yunxi with some expectation.

"Weichen was ordered to arrest more than 100 palace maids in the Liuyun Palace, and after several days of interrogation, a palace maid finally summoned the truth, and the things were handed in by the Fan family, waiting for the opportunity to put them by the little prince's side, but——"

It's just that?

Wen Xinyuan sneered and guessed Yun Xi's words, "The Fan family has always been vicious, I'm afraid there is evidence." Is it also a testimony that you can't catch his tail on someone else's body? ”

Yun Xi responded with silence, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

The Fan family is also worthy of being an unfailing existence among the four major families, and their means are not leaky, for the result of this matter, Wen Xinyuan did not mean to blame Yun Xi, Yun Xi is still like this, and I am afraid that it will not work if I change others. Listen to the school bag

"Go back and rest, I already have an idea in mind."

The news that the little prince in the palace was out of danger was also known to the Fan family for the first time.

They didn't expect that Ran Heya actually had this ability to cure the little prince and his dangerous smallpox.

In the past few days, the Fan family has been carefully sweeping away the traces of this incident, but only the palace maid of Liuyun Palace, after being arrested by Yunxi, has never been able to contact her.

Early the next morning, when Fan He woke up, he felt that his left eyelid was jumping hard, he couldn't help but press his eyelid hard, and Mrs. Fan asked with concern after seeing it: "What's wrong?" ”

"Hey...... I always had a bad premonition. Fan He sighed, and went to the court in a sedan chair without eating breakfast.

Morning upward, after dealing with some matters as a matter of course, Yun Xi suddenly came out of the ranks.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to report."

Fan He's left eyelid, which was already jumping, jumped even more violently when he heard this, and he couldn't stop it at all, so he saw Yun Xi sort out the testimony of the palace maid yesterday into an excerpt, and read it out together with the evidence of the rest of the Fan family's crimes.

The content of it is like a sharp blade directed at the Hu family, who are good friends with the Fan family.

Master Hu, who is also Hu Changle's father, looked at Fan He with his eyes, Fan He's eyes, nose and heart, and stood upright. He didn't care about the life or death of Master Hu, at the beginning of the planning of this matter, he had the idea of sacrificing his pawns to protect the handsome.

"Okay, I didn't expect Lord Hu to be so powerful, even a child who has just turned one year old has to calculate. The rest of the incriminating evidence is even more eye-opening for me" Wen Xinyuan laughed angrily, he slowly disposed of it just to see Fan He's reaction, but as a result, how Lord Hu knelt on the ground and shouted that Fan He was miserable, Fan He didn't have the slightest reaction.

Seeing that Fan He was so ruthless, Master Hu seemed to want to bite back, and under Wen Xinyuan's encouraging gaze, he said two words, "Your Majesty-"

"Master Hu." Fan He directly cut off Lord Hu's words, and said: "As the father of Concubine Hu, how can Lord Hu act so out of line and dare to hurt the royal family, this Concubine Hu Niangniang knows, how sad it should be." ”

Yunxi and Wen Xinyuan both knew in their hearts that Fan He was pinching Hu Concubine to threaten Lord Hu, Lord Hu was stunned for a long time, and finally sighed and bowed to Wen Xinyuan three times, "The old minister is guilty, just ask Your Majesty for the sake of the old minister's diligence over the years, don't implicate Concubine Hu, she is innocent......"

Maybe as a father, Lord Hu is very pitiful, but as a courtier, it is his own choice to join the Fan family.

Wen Xinyuan showed no mercy, Master Hu was dismissed and investigated, and the whole family was exiled, and after this incident, the Fan family had to be honest.

Yang Fengxuan, who was far away from the capital, was very busy because of Cha Hong's affairs.

He followed a local official to survey the flood-prone river, and the official offered to invite him.

"Lord Yang has been working very hard recently, and Xiaguan's mansion is nearby, so why don't you follow Xiaguan to go over and get together." The official was hunched and had a very senior attitude.

"Lord Liu is polite, it's the official who is bothering." Yang Fengxuan agreed.

Seeing Yang Fengxuan's agreement, Lord Liu was very happy and took Yang Fengxuan to his mansion.

At the banquet, there was not only wine and meat, but also singing and dancing.

Yang Fengxuan has indeed been very tired in the past few days, enjoying the service of the maid, and the whole person seems to be much more relaxed.

Seeing that the timing was about the same, Lord Liu ordered someone to bring up a box.

"Lord Liu, this is ......" Yang Fengxuan sat up straight and turned his gaze to Lord Liu.

"Haha, it's the first time Lord Yang has come here, and Xia Guan thought that he should prepare some local specialties for Lord Yang." Lord Liu said with a smile.
