Chapter 60: Torture
Gu Huanli was worried about Lu Xuan's safety, and galloped all the way back to Jiangnan, but when he entered the door, he was nowhere to be seen, and then gathered everyone.
"What about Lu Shuling?" Gu Huanli held him accountable, and the imperial doctor and his subordinates didn't know that Lu Xuan had quietly recovered, and they panicked one by one, and before he could be angry, the hall was already on his knees.
The ensuing medicine king Xizhi finally got to see the rumored fierce king in the outside world, and it turned out that the name that everyone was afraid of was not a lie.
In this way, she couldn't wait to see the woman who could make Gu Huanli as warm as jade.
"Your Highness, forgive me, Lord Lu is indeed still asleep, and the ministers really don't know how to disappear in a blink of an eye!" One of the imperial doctors trembled.
At that time, before Gu Huanli noticed Lin Wei's absence, there were already people on the ground who couldn't help it-
"Guard Lin is also gone, maybe he took advantage of His Highness's absence to kidnap Lord Lu without permission!"
This person is really stupid as a pig, and he should have some brains to sow discord, what are the guards of Lin Wei guarding and holding Lu Xuan hostage for no reason?
Gu Huanli's heart was in turmoil at the moment, so he had no intention of paying attention to this absurd remark, but let the people who should be listening outside the door listen to it.
"Dare to ask which eye did this imperial doctor have seen Guard Lin hijacking?" It was Lu Xuan's voice.
Hearing the sound, everyone in the room was shocked, why did the person who was dying a few days ago stand here unscathed today?
It's just that this news is a surprise to the person sitting in the upper hall, and it is unknown to others.
"The official only went out to do business, so His Highness waited for a long time." Lu Xuan saluted Gu Huan, and he hurriedly stepped forward.
The uncontrolled hands involuntarily stretched out towards the opposite side, and then lowered in the gaze of the crowd for a moment.
"Lu Shulingshi's illness ......" Gu Huanli forcibly held back some emotions that almost burst out in his heart, and asked calmly.
This question made Lu Xuan and Lin Wei dumbfounded.
"Hasn't Your Highness received a summons from your subordinates?" Lin Xiao was surprised, he had clearly told Gu Huanli the truth about Lu Xuan's illness, why didn't he know at all?
Gu Huanli didn't feel strange when he heard this, he probably missed it when he was dealing with the prince.
But none of this matters, Lu Xuan is safe and sound, which is good news.
"What the hell is going on? Who healed you? Gu Huanli looked at the person in front of him with concern.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but laugh contemptuously: "Since His Highness has not received the summons from Guard Lin, now that these are these, let them talk to His Highness one by one." ”
As she spoke, she looked at the several imperial doctors on the ground with a look of disgust, and Gu Huanli's gaze also shifted away.
It's just that now that there are distinguished guests on his side, it is not easy to wait for a long time, Gu Huanli had to order Lin Wei to detain people and wait for him to be sent in person.
For a while, a group of imperial doctors were imprisoned one after another, and Lu Xuan had time to pay attention to the woman in white on the side: "This must be the famous Medicine King Gu Medical Immortal, who has admired the name for a long time." ”
In fact, Lu Xuan's reaction at the beginning was the same as Gu Huanli's, and he was also surprised by this person's young age, but there were only a few people in front of him, and it was not difficult to recognize the Venerable from it.
Seeing Lu Xuan asking, the woman in white stepped forward: "Gu Xizhi, the king of medicine, was entrusted by His Royal Highness to come to treat the girl." ”
Xi Zhi deliberately said the word "girl" more heavily, which caused Lu Xuan to feel cold in her back.
Few people know about this matter, and now it comes out from the mouth of a person who has never met before, except for Gu Huanli, Lu Xuan really can't think of others.
With such a thought, Lu Xuan couldn't help but glance at Gu Huanli, but fell into Xi Zhi's eyes.
"Miss Lu, don't misunderstand, Your Highness is also here to save your life, Your Highness is ......"
"Your Excellency must be tired after a long journey with this king, this king has ordered someone to clean up the wings, so let Qin Wei take you to rectify it."
Gu Huanli interrupted Xi Zhi's unfinished words in a panic, as if she was afraid that she would accidentally expose something.
Xi Zhi is also a shrewd person, some things are hidden in someone's stomach as treasures in the Medicine King Valley, how can she say it so easily now?
She is also not easy to make it difficult for others, and then smiled: "Then thank Your Highness here." ”
After that, Qin Wei took the people away, and there were only two people left in the house, so Gu Huanli couldn't hide his gaze towards Lu Xuan: "You, are you really okay?" ”
Lu Xuan nodded, for some reason, she always felt that Gu Huanli had been much gentler after returning from the Medicine King Valley.
"The plague ......" Gu Huanli didn't know why, and then asked.
Lu Xuan told him everything he had obtained recently.
……
Shengjing.
In the battle of the Medicine King Valley, the prince was defeated and fled in a hurry.
thought that he would be able to get rid of Gu Huanli's confidant this time, but he didn't want to steal chickens and rice, but he left himself with the scourge of killing.
Now that the Medicine King Valley Medical Immortal has come to Jiangnan in person, it will be a matter of urgency to break the plague.
If he returns safely from Gu Huanli, I am afraid that the unlucky one will be Gu Ningbei, the disrespectful and ambitious prince of the East Palace.
It's just that Gu Ningbei always underestimated him, the imperial uncle, in those years, he fought on the battlefield and was invincible, but he didn't rely on brute force.
Gu Huanli originally thought that Gu Ningbei just wanted to eradicate the threat as soon as possible when he was "seriously ill", but now after listening to Lu Xuan's remarks, he knew that he was ruthless.
"Is it really a problem with the decoction of the hospital?" Gu Huanli confirmed again and again.
Lu Xuan nodded: "What Mr. Ye said in person, there will be no falsehood, and it is inevitable that this matter will have something to do with someone." ”
Gu Huanli naturally knew who Lu Xuan knew, and suddenly fell into deep thought.
After a pause, he asked again, "I don't know if Lu Shuling Shi Ke is interested in seeing the methods of the Criminal Department?" ”
Lu Xuan was stunned: What did he mean by this, didn't he mean it......
Half an hour later, a terrifying scream came from the place where Dou San had been held before.
When Lu Xuan followed Gu Huanli back here, the surroundings were already completely new.
I saw that there were terrible torture instruments everywhere, and I thought that if it wasn't for Lu Xuan's intercession last time, even if Dou San could leave, I am afraid that he would not be able to escape half death.
It seems that this is the method of the Criminal Department, cruel and cold-blooded.
It's just that this situation and this scene are clearly prepared for others, but Lu Xuan can't help but feel a tingling pain all over his body.
These are the familiar shackles, iron needles, clamps, soldering irons, and whips...... All of them are indelible nightmares in Lu Xuan's heart.
She couldn't help but feel a little in a trance, as if she had returned to that dark time.
Fortunately, a voice asked softly, "Are you scared?" and although it was not out of comfort, it was enough to reassure her.
Lu Xuan's thoughts were pulled back to reality at this time, and he turned to Gu Huanli and replied: "I'm not afraid, I just think of some things." ”
As she spoke, she walked past him, and the look of fear and sadness on her face fell into his deep eyes, and she felt a ripple.
"Your Highness spares your life, Your Highness spares your life!" The further you go inside, the more hideous the scene becomes.
I saw that the few people who were kneeling on the ground had already been placed on the torture rack, and they had suffered a lot from Lu Xuan.
"Stop, stop!" Xu has experienced it personally, Rao is knowing that at this time, he is just handling the case impartially, Lu Xuan still can't accept this way, he forgot his identity for a while, and rushed up to stop him without saying a word.
Seeing this, the executioners paused one after another, after all, they had to obey Lu Xuan's orders, so they could only look at the person in the distance.
It wasn't until Gu Huanli nodded in acquiescence that everyone stopped.
Only then did Lu Xuan realize that he had just been a little arrogant, and then turned around and lowered his head.
Gu Huanli didn't seem to mind, but just stepped forward and asked, "Can someone confess?" ”
The pawn shook his head: "Back to Your Highness, I only heard a plea for mercy, but no one confessed." ”
Hearing this, Gu Huanli's face sank, and he immediately ordered: "Continue to torture!" ”
"Wait!" Lu Xuan came out to stop him: "They are all imperial doctors, maybe most of them are innocent and used by others?" Please also ask Your Highness to raise your noble hand. ”
The Criminal Department has always handled cases in this style, and Gu Huanli has long been used to it, but he didn't expect Lu Xuan to be so soft-hearted.
"Do you want this king to spare them and let them continue to do evil?" Gu Huanli asked rhetorically.
In desperation, Lu Xuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak: "If Your Highness can trust the lower officials, please allow the lower officials to try, if the lower officials are incompetent, it is not too late to let Your Highness deal with them." ”
Since Lu Xuan was willing to do it for him, Gu Huanli naturally had nothing to say, and then nodded: "Lu Shu Lingshi is please." ”
After that, Gu Huanli immediately withdrew the idlers, leaving only Lu Xuan to interrogate in person, while he sat aside and waited.
I saw that Lu Xuan did not hesitate, and walked straight to one of them: "What benefit did he give you?" ”
When the man heard this, his eyes dodged and denied again and again: "What Lord Lu said, he is stupid." ”
"Really? This thing, it's yours. Lu Xuan said as he took out a chic pouch from his hand.
The man was suddenly shocked: "This, where did you find it, give it back to me!" ”
The corners of Lu Xuan's mouth hooked: "Here, it's swine fever, that is, you put this thing in the pork in the butcher's shop, causing the entire Jiangnan to fall into an epidemic, right?" ”
"It's not me, it's not me!" The man denied it.
Lu Xuan became more and more aggressive: "Who is it if it's not you, you said it's not you, but what is the explanation for this thing in the bag?" It's clearly you, greedy for wealth and wealth, seeking wealth and killing people! ”
"It's not me! The bag contains a dream soul, and it's not a swine fever at all! In a hurry, some words seemed to reveal something.
Seeing this, Gu Huanli, who was sitting on the side watching the play, couldn't help but admire: I really underestimated this girl in the past.
Lu Xuan deliberately charged Imperial Physician Xu with trumped-up charges, in order to let him tell the truth when he was exonerated from his crimes, and sure enough, it was not true.
Imperial Physician Xu knew that he was speechless, so he hurriedly silenced him, but Lu Xuan had already heard it clearly.
"The dream is gone, and I said it wasn't you! What crime should you be guilty of murdering the court officials! ”
"I, I ......" couldn't argue, and Imperial Doctor Xu had no choice but to admit his guilt: "I am also persecuted by others, and I really can't help myself!" ”
Lu Xuan naturally knew that he was just a doctor, where did he have such courage? Then he took advantage of the victory and pursued: "Who persecuted? ”
Imperial Physician Xu didn't say anything, Gu Huanli had seen enough at this time, and then got up and walked over here with an indifferent face.
