"How many people from Baixianglou are left now?"

Ming Xuanze put down the fold in his hand, glanced at Li Dequan, and slowly got up.

At this time, Li Dequan was also asked, and he was not particularly clear, so he knew a rough idea.

But since the emperor asked, he naturally wanted to tell him why, so he frowned and thought for a moment before he spoke.

"There are less than a hundred girls inside, and there are more than a dozen turtle slaves left from the original fifty or so. The dancing girl has been accepted as a concubine by the prime minister. ”

Ming Xuanze didn't make a pretentious sound after hearing this, but just sat back and sat down slowly, as if he was thinking about something.

"Well, let's go down, keep an eye on the movements of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion in the past few days, and report it as soon as there are any new trends."

"Yes."

The next day, Ye Liancheng really arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The Prime Minister had already heard of the emperor's holy decree, so he was not surprised by Ye Liancheng's arrival.

It's just a little puzzled why he suddenly didn't let Gonggong Li help him.

Unexpectedly, he still changed Ye Liancheng, his son Ye Wanli, who has been controlling the emperor for many years.

The prime minister didn't believe that the emperor would have nothing in his heart.

Then why would he be allowed to meddle in such a serious case? The emperor will not be so ignorant as to reuse his Ye Wanli's son.

However, maybe it was Ye Wanli who put pressure on the emperor?

Also, with Ye Wanli's temperament, would he not want his son to be reused by the emperor in the imperial court?

Thinking of this, the prime minister didn't think much about it.

In the courtyard, a group of women knelt together, and there was a faint sound of crying and crying inside.

Ye Liancheng frowned, this prime minister seemed to be as Gonggong Li said.

He could see that these people were deliberately suppressing their voices, could it be that this prime minister had already brought them to such a point?

Before they could say anything, they had already made them tremble so much that they didn't dare to make a sound.

The prime minister doesn't talk nonsense, since Ye Liancheng has also arrived, let's start.

Then he was escorted up with a woman with a beautiful face but a charming color.

The woman's trembling hands were hidden in her sleeves, her face was pale, and her lips trembled slightly.

"Concubine...... The concubine has seen the prime minister, the young general. ”

Without any delay, the prime minister went straight to the point: "Say! ”

"The concubine is not ...... I don't know, also, please make it clear to the prime minister......"

The prime minister was a little angry in his heart, but he felt that the person in front of him was pretending to be stupid.

"Presumptuous! Why don't you invite you honestly, do you want this official to torture you? ”

When the woman heard the punishment, her head went blank with fright, and her lips trembled one by one, as if she wanted to say something.

But the pale lips never made a sound.

After a while, the prime minister saw that the woman below still didn't say anything, and finally lost her patience.

"You're so bold! How dare you not take this official in your eyes! Someone ...... coming."

Before the prime minister finished speaking, the woman below immediately came back to her senses as if she had been woken up.

"No...... No, the concubine doesn't dare, the prime minister is Mingjian. ”

This cry of begging for mercy slightly soothed the displeasure in the prime minister's heart, but even so, the prime minister would not spare the person in front of him who did not take him seriously.

Although her appearance is still a little bit beautiful, and the prime minister is so good.

But his prime minister already has a better one, even better than this, where will he still pity them like this?

What's more, the prime minister originally wanted to bend them into a trick, and then close the case early, so that he could hold the beauty with confidence.

It's a troublesome matter, and this case has been dragging on for so many days, in fact, the prime minister has long run out of patience with them.

But there is really no way, they refuse to admit their guilt, which also makes the prime minister feel very troublesome.

Originally, I planned to be ruthless and forcibly let a person press his handprint on the black and white paper, but I didn't expect that person to resist so fiercely.

He even bit his tongue and committed suicide without admitting his guilt, and later the prime minister tried several times in succession with the same result.

The prime minister is also very distressed in private, and this time he changed Ye Liancheng to assist him, isn't he hinting at himself and letting himself interrogate him quickly to get a result?

It's very liberating to die, but what about life as death? The official didn't believe that these people were all hard bones, and none of them were a little softer.

"In that case, this official still has to be tortured!"

When the woman heard this, she kept begging for mercy, and the speed of kowtowing increased.

"Prime Minister spare your life...... Prime minister...... The Prime Minister spared his life. Concubine, I really don't know......"

The guards who came in from outside with the torture equipment ignored his pleas for mercy, and began to sound the torture instruments without saying a word.

The prime minister who watched this scene couldn't help but feel proud, after all, your little life is not in the hands of my official.

"Don't beg for mercy from this official, if you are honest, this official will definitely spare you."

"Concubine...... I don't know, I don't know......"

At this time, the woman was completely desperate, stopped begging for mercy and kowtowing, and fell limp to the side.

Her lips opened slightly, but she still didn't continue to struggle uselessly, it seemed that she had accepted this fact, and the prime minister would not let her go.

That's right, if this prime minister still has a little conscience and a little humanity, then so many people won't die.

The woman let the guards put the torture instrument in her hands.

"Clamp the official hard, don't give her a little color, she really thinks that the official is so easy to deal with."

After the prime minister's order, there was a cry of pain that pierced the sky.

After this cry of pain, Ye Liancheng, who originally wanted to stop the prime minister, finally couldn't hold his breath anymore.

"Stop!"

Suddenly stopped, and the eyes of everyone on the scene looked at Ye Liancheng.

The young general's words were not good, and the two guards had to stop immediately, and after glancing at Ye Liancheng with embarrassed eyes, they looked at the prime minister.

Cheng nodded slightly at the guards, signaling that they didn't need to act rashly for the time being.

Ye Liancheng suddenly shouted to stop, the prime minister didn't expect it, what did he want to do.

However, he still couldn't help but look at Ye Liancheng suspiciously, like an inquiring look, after all, this is also Ye Wanli's son.

Even if the prime minister is the head of a hundred officials, Ye does not dare to offend Ye Wanli easily, not to mention that they are also in the same stream in the court.

At this moment, Ye Liancheng had already calmed down a little, and only slowly spoke after receiving the prime minister's inquiring eyes.

"The prime minister is slow, and there will be some things that I don't know whether to say or not......"
