Chapter 316: A Strange Prison
The two maids saw that Yu Qiuyu really interceded for Feng Lan'er, and Zhao Xuedian really had no intention of punishing Feng Lan'er again, they were a little relieved, thinking that they had completed the task, and after thanking Yu Qiuyu, they left here.
Yu Qiuyu looked at the backs of the two maids and pondered for a moment, she still felt that something was wrong, but it was very strange, this was something wrong, and she couldn't tell the reason.
Never mind.
Thinking to no avail, Yu Qiuyu chose to give up.
Forget it, maybe it's because there are too many things that have happened recently, she thinks too much, maybe there is nothing at all, it's just that she is suspicious.
Yu Qiuyu thought, and after breathing in the fresh air, he turned around and walked into the cell.
There was no way, she still had to go to Zhao Xuedie.
It's also strange to say, it's not just Liu Wenjing's two maids who are wrong today, Zhao Xuedi is also very wrong, she is an innocent and unsophisticated little girl, how could she be so ruthless, and be ruthless to Feng Lan'er, a little maid who is obviously a chess piece?
She walked into the cell, only to find that there were two more middle-aged people beside Zhao Xuedie.
These two middle-aged people looked a little faceless, she had never seen them by Zhao Xuedie's side before.
These two middle-aged people were wearing official uniforms, and Yu Qiuyu observed that the color, color and pattern of the official uniforms were similar to those of officials such as the main book, and Yu Qiuyu guessed that these two middle-aged people should be of the same level as the master of Wu.
However, after Zhao Xuedian came to Lingnan, he rarely dealt with these Lingnan officials or anything, and usually stayed by their side obediently, making trouble and playing with them, why did there be inexplicable officials around him at this time?
The two officials noticed that Yu Qiuyu was looking at them, and the two of them looked up at Yu Qiuyu at the same time, I don't know if it was Yu Qiuyu's illusion, and when they met the eyes of the two of them, Yu Qiuyu suddenly felt that there was murderous intent in the eyes of these two people.
This killing intent, tsk, Yu Qiuyu shuddered, she was a little worried and thought, these two goods are not going to do anything to her, right?
.“ This girl is ......"
One of the two old men looked at Yu Qiuyu with a frown, and opened his mouth in surprise.
These two old men are quite sleek, and they can see from Zhao Xuedie's attitude towards Yu Qiuyu that Zhao Xuedie and Yu Qiuyu have a good relationship.
"It's my sister Qiuyu, and it's also Lord Yu's sister."
Introducing Yu Qiuyu's identity, Zhao Xuedian was serious and enthusiastic.
The two old men stared at Yu Qiuyu, looked at it carefully, and didn't say anything to Zhao Xuedie, but arched their hands, and said politely, "I've seen County Lord Yu." ”
They have long heard that Yu Yifan's sister Yu Qiuyu is the county lord who was canonized by the imperial court, and she is the county lord of the fifth grade in the capital.
Seeing the respectful attitude of these two old men towards Yu Qiuyu, Zhao Xuedian breathed a sigh of relief, and even his hands clenched into fists relaxed a little.
Even if Zhao Xuedie was not afraid of heaven and earth, but when facing these two old men, Zhao Xuedie was still a little nervous.
"County Lord Yu just said that you can interrogate this little palace maid in other ways, I don't know what method County Lord Yu said?"
After saluting Yu Qiuyu, the old man began to look at Yu Qiuyu seriously again.
"The little girl is so strong, so naturally she has to overcome the rigidity with softness."
Listening to the old man's aggressive tone, the surrounding jailers and Zhao Xuedie treated the two old men with great respect, Yu Qiuyu guessed that the two of them should be some kind of unfathomable and powerful people, just like the old doctor who helped Zhao Xuedie and Zhao Zhichen remove the strange poison in the first place.
Although Yu Qiuyu expressed her incomprehension of Zhao Xuedie's behavior, Yu Qiuyu has always believed that Zhao Xuedian is a sincere and kind child, she will definitely not hurt Feng Lan'er, she must have been bewitched by someone by doing this.
And this person who bewitched Zhao Xuedi to do bad things should be these two old men.
"Overcoming rigidity with softness?"
Hearing this word, the two old men were stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding the meaning of Yu Qiuyu after reminiscing.
"Yes, to overcome the rigid with softness, to influence this little maid with the policy of tenderness, I believe that this little maid should not be a bad person, she should have been used by someone to do this, and she refused to confess, it is very likely that there is something in the hands of others, such as the life and death of the family members, such as the life and death of the people they care about, so I think that such torture of Feng Lan'er over and over again may not be useful, the biggest effect of punishment is to make people turn back, so instead of punishing her, it is better to find a way to make this little maid turn back."
Yu Qiuyu knew that it was a bit far-fetched for her to say this, but there was no way, she really couldn't come up with a better reason to help Feng Lan'er reduce the punishment for a while.
Although Feng Lan'er tortured her and almost killed her, from the current point of view, Feng Lan'er's punishment was several times more severe than the punishment she had endured at the beginning.
Yu Qiuyu felt that this was enough.
"Overcoming rigidity with softness? The county lord Yu said that he wanted to persuade this cheap maid to be kind, how likely do you think this is? Instead, she has always been obsessed. ”
Yu Qiuyu's theories and opinions were exchanged for a sneer from the two old men.
What she said, the so-called goodness, the so-called turning back, is simply nonsense for people like Feng Lan'er.
"And what did you get in exchange for beating her to death?"
These two people were obsessed, which made Yu Qiuyu very distressed, and she decided to persuade the two old men from a different angle.
"Yes, I understand your original intention, but the premise is that Feng Lan'er can't be allowed to die. If we die in a cage because of torture, not only will we not get what we want to know, but it will also plunge His Royal Highness into a place of injustice. Once the news spreads, what will people say, people will say that His Royal Highness the county lord is arrogant and domineering, and will say that His Royal Highness the county lord cares about people's lives, if this matter reaches the capital, there are people with a heart who want to use this matter to frame the county lord, can you afford this responsibility? ”
The two old men opened their mouths, as if they wanted to refute, but when the words came to their mouths, neither of them could refute them.
Yu Qiuyu had been observing their reactions and performances, and now seeing the expressions of the two of them, Yu Qiuyu vaguely guessed something.
Are these two old men trying to achieve their ulterior motives in the name of helping Zhao Xuedie's little county lord get angry?
Yu Qiuyu finally understood what was the reason for her uneasiness at the prison door.
"Regardless of whether Huairou's policy works or not, now please ask the two old gentlemen to go out first, don't kill Feng Lan'er, His Royal Highness the county lord, please send a few imperial doctors over to see Feng Lan'er's situation, and be sure to ensure that Feng Lan'er is alive."
Regardless of whether Yu Qiuyu's method will have an effect on Feng Lan'er, Yu Qiuyu feels that she should stop them from continuing to torture Feng Lan'er, she saw the extent of Feng Lan'er's injury, and now Feng Lan'er has fallen into a coma lying on the ground, Yu Qiuyu guessed that if Feng Lan'er continues to be tortured, it is very likely that her life will be lost in the end.
I really didn't expect that the punishment in ancient times was so cruel, and it could kill people in minutes.
"You, don't you know we're here on a mission? How dare you expel us? ”
Yu Qiuyu's attitude made the two old men angry, and even asked them to interrogate Feng Lan'er when someone invited them to come, but they didn't expect Yu Qiuyu not only to dare to stop them from being executed, but also to expel them away?
"The two old gentlemen had been working too long in the cell, and they were a little tired. Why don't you hurry up and help the old gentleman down? ”
Seeing that the two old gentlemen still had the intention of booing and chattering, Yu Qiuyu hurriedly ordered the jailer to help the two old gentlemen down.
Although the two old gentlemen were a little reluctant, they were dragged down.
Seeing the two of them leaving, Yu Qiuyu was a little relieved.
However, the identities of these two people are somewhat suspicious.
Yu Qiuyu turned her head to look at Zhao Xuedie, and asked a little strangely, "Xue'er, who are those two old gentlemen, why have I never seen them before?" ”
Because of the relationship between Yu Yifan and Song Zhe, she often sees these officials in Lingnan, so she has long been familiar with them, but she doesn't know the two officials in front of her.
"Those are two wardens."
Zhao Xuedian glanced in the direction they left and said lightly.
"Prison? Where did the prison come from? ”
No matter where these two prisons came from, they definitely didn't come from Lingnan anyway.
"It was sent by the adults, saying that it was for Mrs. Jing's case, and asked them to properly try the rebels who dared to hurt Mrs. Jing."
Zhao Xuedian seemed to recall the scene where Feng Lan'er was tortured just now, and she was shocked, and seemed to be a little scared.
"Sister Qiuyu, was I a little ruthless just now?"
At first she thought it was nothing, but now that she thinks about it, really, she did something really out of line.
"Are you regretting it?"
Yu Qiuyu raised her eyebrows and looked at her, Zhao Xuedie's reaction made Yu Qiuyu very pleased, which showed that Zhao Xuedie was still the ignorant and kind child, and it showed that Zhao Xuedie's torture of Feng Lan'er was not sincere.
"Yes." Zhao Xuedian did not deny it, although she really wanted to help Yu Qiuyu get justice, but she originally thought that it would be enough to beat Feng Lan'er into Yu Qiuyu's original appearance, anyway, Zhao Zhichen had already announced Feng Lan'er's death sentence, even if she was punished and did not die, Feng Lan'er would still die in the end.
But she didn't expect that things would turn out like this later.
Here, the two of them were still sighing for a long time, talking about the scene of the two prison wardens punishing the maids just now, and here, Yun Ruiyi hurriedly ran in.
"The county lord. Your Highness! ”
Zhao Xuedian looked back at Yun Ruiyi, with a trace of unnatural expression on her face.
She's in a weak heart.
Yu Qiuyu caught the unnaturalness of Zhao Xuedie's expression, it was obvious that Zhao Xuedie did not tell Yun Ruiyi about his coming to the prison, so Yun Ruiyi was so worried, so Zhao Xuedian was so weak-hearted.
"Why are you here?"
Zhao Xuedi lowered her head slightly, a little ashamed, and looked up at Yun Ruiyi.
"Why do you think I'm here?"
