Chapter 221: Torture
"Say, what the hell is it that makes you murder Concubine Chen!"
In the storm room, Donglai stood with his hands down, and a gilded dust was placed between his arms. His eyes were blazing but unmoving, like a stone statue, but he was full of majesty.
The little palace maid's body was easily relieved, and she was tied to the torture instrument and couldn't move. Her skin was red and swollen, from being frozen and scrubbed with snow.
Her hair was unkempt, her whole body was wet with cold sweat, and her thin clothes were sticky and sticky to her body. Her head was lowered, as if she had lost her life, but her chest was lying together, and the sound of heavy breathing was like a bellows in disrepair, snorting and breathing.
"If you don't say it, then give me a big punishment!" Donglai glanced sharply, then turned around.
He heard a hysterical scream coming from the mouth of the palace maid behind him, and the sound hit the wall of the bluestone brick building and folded back. It seemed more and more eerie, and the sound seemed to come from the depths of hell.
Donglai raised his hand slightly, and the eunuchs who were tortured stopped their hands, and he turned to look at her, the little palace maid's mouth was dripping with blood, sticking to the placket and between the jaws.
"Your bones are quite hard, but the instruments of torture in the court are even harder, and even though your mouth is firm, I can pry your mouth open with a shovel." Donglai walked to the little palace maid step by step, and suddenly grabbed her hair.
Her head was forced to rise, and she glared at him with a pair of blank eyes.
Donglai sneered and looked at the thin little palace maid in front of him, secretly surprised in his heart. I really can't see it, this little girl is quite bold, the pear blossoms who cried before coming in brought rain, and when she really encountered a torture instrument, she was able to deal with it calmly.
"Why don't you speak?" Donglai shook his hand heavily, and the little palace maid's head seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, and she was hit hard.
"You don't have to say it, because you have to think about your master, but have you ever thought about your family, your friends? Your master may be safe and sound, but your family and friends will suffer for no reason because of you. ”
Donglai's footsteps stepped on the weeds, and he raised his hand to point the little palace maid with floating dust: "You are bound to die, and your nine clans can't run away." ”
The little palace maid squinted at Donglai with hatred, clenched her teeth tightly, her mouth was red and swollen, and blood slowly oozed out.
"Okay," Donglai sneered, "Do you want to meet your family?" ”
The little palace maid turned her face in disbelief and looked at Donglai in a daze.
As soon as Donglai's words fell, the door of the violent chamber suddenly opened, and there was a sudden sound of iron chains outside the stone room, and it became more and more audible.
"Let's go, let's get in!" Several men with iron hands and feet locked were pushed in, men and women, young and old.
Donglai sneered and pointed at an old woman: "This should be your mother, right?" ”
The little palace maid bit her lip and stared at the old woman without speaking.
Although she didn't say it, these people who came in later couldn't help but say it. God testifies that they have lived to this age, and it is already a great battle that they have seen in their lives to have their daughters enter the palace as palace maids, where have they ever seen the palace interrogation of criminal slaves and the punishment of the nine clans?
"Hairpin snow!" The old woman exclaimed, "You, what are you? ”
"Hairpin Xue, you cheap girl, I said that sooner or later you will cause trouble for the family!" The old man squeezed out a few tears in pain, stood aside and beat his chest.
"I'll just say, you're a broom star! You're just going to the palace to return the party! Look at how you hurt me! "It was a young man who spoke, who seemed to be a few years older than this little palace maid, and it should be his elder brother.
As for the little woman on the side, she just cowered and did not dare to speak, sighing as if she were about to die.
"Hairpin snow, what have you done!" The old woman sobbed in fear, and her legs went limp, and she collapsed directly to the ground.
Donglai looked at them coldly, and glanced at the little palace maid lightly: "Are you willing to say it now?" ”
The little palace maid turned her head abruptly and stared at Donglai, who lowered her eyelids slightly, with a light and indifferent look. When he saw that the little palace maid didn't speak, he was slightly angry. Several eunuchs rushed up and tied the men who came in later and tied them to the torture instruments.
Donglai took the dust in his hand and slowly walked to the old man's side. He suddenly slammed the dust handle on the old man's lower abdomen, and the old man screamed in surprise, and cold sweat seeped out from his forehead.
"Daddy!" The little palace maid's tears burst out of her eyes.
Donglai turned his head to her and sneered, "This is the first word you said after you came in." He turned his head and patted the old man's cheek, grabbed it, and pointed at the little palace maid: "Look, your daughter is still very filial to you, and she is worried about you." ”
The old man gasped for breath and said, "She's not my daughter. ”
"Daddy!" The little palace maid seemed to be pleading.
Donglai pointed at the little palace maid, and then raised the dust: "If you don't tell the truth again, I will let your whole family, young and old, without exception, live the ten tortures of the court!" ”
The sister-in-law of the little palace maid was so frightened that she fainted when she heard about the ten tortures.
Her brother and mother snorted left and right: "Hairpin Xue, you evil obstacle, what have you done, don't you tell me honestly, do you want your father, mother, brother and sister-in-law to suffer with you!" ”
Hairpin bit her lip, although the tears couldn't stop flowing down, she still gritted her teeth and refused to speak.
Donglai's face gradually became fierce, and he finally snorted contemptuously, and looked at the eunuchs fiercely: "Give me a stick!" ”
"No, don't!" The little palace maid's brother writhed in fright, and scolded the little palace maid again: "You little slut, do you want to kill the whole family!" ”
The little palace maid still didn't speak, so Donglai had to wave her hand lightly.
The ten fingers suddenly became congested and purple under the action of the clamping stick, like air-dried sausages.
The screams were repeated, and these people were very timid, and they wept to death at a punishment.
The little palace maid gritted her teeth and closed her eyes tightly, she tried her best to squeeze her eyes, squeezing her eyelids like two round little lychees.
"Hairpin Xue, cheap girl, you evil obstacle, I knew that you were going to commit a crime that harmed your parents today, and you should have been strangled to death when you were born! Listen to your father and throw you into the well! The old woman cursed indiscriminately as she endured the pain.
Donglai raised his hand slightly, his face was still as calm as water, and he looked down at the little palace maid: "What, you still refuse to confess?" ”
The little palace maid spat out a mouthful of blood, gritted her loose teeth, and looked at Donglai with hatred.
Donglai* glanced at the eunuch and said, "Since she refuses to speak, then go to the second way." As he spoke, he paused, staring at the two men on the torture rack: "Don't kill them immediately, just use the palace to punish them." ”
"Don't, don't, I don't want to be a eunuch!" The little palace maid's brother cried out in fright.
Donglai's face was a little embarrassed, he slowly walked to his side, and said in a low voice: "You seem to look down on eunuchs?" ”
The little palace maid's brother suddenly changed his face, he looked at the chubby man in front of him, and then remembered that except for him and his father, the rest of the men in this violent room were eunuchs.
"No, father-in-law, you just borrowed 10,000 guts from the villain, and the villain didn't dare!" He trembled with fear, and shouted frequently at the little palace maid: "You damn girl, what the hell have you done, you should be honest, don't implicate the Zhang family!" ”
Donglai jumped his eyebrows and said with interest: "She, she murdered Concubine Chen and the imperial heir, Concubine Chen, that is, the emperor's favorite concubine today." ”
The man was speechless in shock, in other words, all the five members of the family were speechless in astonishment except for Hairpin Xue, the initiator.
Donglai asked quietly: "Your sister is guilty of a capital crime, and she wants to connect the nine clans." The emperor is now severely reprimanding his father-in-law, and he must catch the mastermind behind the scenes. Do you know anything about it? ”
The man lowered his head slightly, looking thoughtful.
"If you can tell the truth," Donglai paused, "My father-in-law can ask the emperor to spare you and your family." ”
"Oh, oh!"
As soon as Donglai's words came out, the family of four recalled it together, Donglai turned around, raised his eyebrows at the little palace maid, and the little palace maid licked her lips and pinned her face to the side.
"Oh roar, my temper is quite stubborn." Donglai looked at her coldly, and the cold in his gaze gradually appeared, and finally he took away the last smile, and the coldness took over his entire face.
"Come on, execution!" His deep voice shook everyone's eardrums.
The knives were roasted in a brazier and poisoned with spirits. The two eunuchs pressed the little palace maid's brother one left and one right, and someone took off his pants.
"Wait, wait for me to uncover!" His hoarse throat almost burst into a voice.
Donglai laughed dryly and turned his head to look at him: "Say it, say it out loud." ”
"There was a man who once brought silver to our family!" He said.
"Oh?" Donglai raised his eyebrows and exhaled freely: "What kind of man is it, and what is his name?" ”
"He is about the same height as me, very thin, and looks quite handsome," he muttered for a long time, and said, "That person claims to be the second master." ”
"Second master?" Donglai's gaze gradually became gloomy, and he casually took the blade held by the eunuch and slowly approached him: "Which family's second master is he?" ”
"I don't know about this, but this person speaks the same as us, with the accent of the capital, and speaks elegantly, he must have studied a book."
Donglai sneered: "There are more people in the capital who have read books, doesn't this mean that they haven't said it?" ”
Donglai raised his knife and pretended to stab him in the lower body, but he closed his eyes in panic and shouted, "I remember, I remember!" ”
Donglai turned the knife in the palm of his hand, and quickly withdrew his hand: "Say." ”
"I remember the man was dressed in embroidered clothes, and wore a sheep's head pendant, and he also had a sheep's head on his sword."
"Brother!" The little palace maid suddenly roared, but she still couldn't stop her brother's strong desire to survive.
Sheep's head pattern! Donglai's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the water, and he asked someone to take the paper, hurriedly drew a pattern with a few strokes, and handed it to the man.
"Is this a sheep's head?" Donglai stared at him and asked word by word: "You have to look carefully, and you must not make mistakes." ”
