Chapter 52: Virtue
Aunt Wen seems to be reasonable, but in fact, she has hidden thoughts.
In Wei Shiyuan's eyes, she thinks about their husband and wife everywhere.
The second lady is bitter and can't say it.
Wei Laner put the tea cup in his hand on the table and sighed: "The main room also wants to give gifts to the mother's family through the hand of the concubine, how can this kind of shameful thing be known to everyone?" Fortunately, our house is considerate of the second aunt, and they all pretend not to know, and keep silent and let the matter pass. ”
"That being said, it's hard to guarantee that the news won't leak out, and the second lady doesn't know how much shame she will have to suffer by then! Moreover, the Lin family doesn't know about it, so if there is something inadvertent, mention it in front of the second lady......"
Li Qingyi reminded intentionally or unintentionally.
"Especially the second room of the Lin family, Lin Yi is all gone, it is estimated that he hates the second lady, mother and daughter, if he knows about this, he has to come to the door to laugh!"
Wei Lan'er rolled up his handkerchief when he heard this, and his voice became lighter, "That's what I said!" ”
*****
On the second day, Li Qingyi followed the county lord of Yuanheng to Qin Zeng's mansion to thank him, but the two were female dependents, and there was really nothing to say with a eunuch, so Wei Shicheng naturally went together.
Li Qingyi had to suspect that Wei Shicheng wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Qin Zeng and increase his comradeship.
However, Qin Zeng may not have this idea, when he heard that they came to visit, he didn't even show his face, and only ordered the attendant Changze to come and talk back.
"County Lord, Lord Wei, Lord Admiral is handling official business, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to see each other, this thank you Lord Admiral, please take it back."
A second-class member of the imperial court wants to see a eunuch but can't see it, and the common people may not believe it.
But that's exactly what happened.
Dongchang is under the jurisdiction of the emperor alone, and the factory guards are called the eagle dogs of the imperial court, which are pervasive and can supervise the arrest of subjects at will without the approval of the judicial organs, and no one has the right to interfere with their actions.
Officials at all levels were frightened of the people in Dongchang, and how could they dare to show Qin Zeng's face.
Therefore, except for the emperor, Qin Zeng does not have to give face to anyone.
Wei Shicheng smiled and said, "Since Lord Qin has something to do, Wei won't delay much." ”
"Lord Wei, slow down." Chang Ze glanced at Li Qingyi and said, "Lord Admiral has something to ask Miss Li, but the Lord is still busy at this time, I'm afraid I want Miss Li to wait a little longer, and when I finish asking later, my lord will definitely send Miss Li back to the house." ”
Wei Shicheng and the county lord of Yuanheng glanced at each other, and they both looked at Li Qingyi.
This is to leave her alone to speak.
Li Qingyi slandered in his heart, this person didn't know what idea to fight, and said on his face: "Mother, then Qingyi will stay for a while, you can go back with Master Wei first." ”
The county lord of Yuanheng didn't know what secrets Li Qingyi had with Qin Zeng, and he had secret contacts three times and twice, but Li Qingyi had a friendship with Qin Zeng, and she naturally wouldn't stop her if it was only good and no harm, and it was even more so for Wei Shicheng.
Moreover, Qin Zeng is a eunuch, and he is not afraid of any gossip outside.
So the two left the Qin Mansion after a few words, leaving Li Qingyi to wait here alone.
Chang Ze smiled: "Miss Li, please." ”
Li Qingyi followed Chang Ze all the way, looking at the mansion where he had lived for five years in a comfortable mood.
Everything is familiar.
All the memories of her and Qin Zeng are here.
However, Chang Ze took her through the study, passed by the flower hall, and even the courtyard where the two of them had prepared the cave room passed, and Chang Ze continued to move forward.
"I said, you adults are not tortured and reciprocated, invite me to visit, right?"
Chang Ze was stunned, "How does the girl know?" ”
The corners of Li Qingyi's mouth twitched, "Hehe, I really got it right?" ”
In addition to the study and bedroom of the flower hall in this courtyard, the place where Qin Zeng goes most often is the torture room, and torturing prisoners is a daily operation, but in his previous life, Li Qingyi once protested and asked him not to torture prisoners at home, lest she hear screams from time to time, which is strange and infiltrating.
Later, Qin Zeng changed places to torture people.
When he arrived at the door of the torture chamber, Chang Ze went in to pray, and after a while, he came out and said that Li Qingyi would go in.
Li Qingyi couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard the screaming voice inside.
Chang Ze touched his nose and thought to himself that this big girl Li was really bold.
I wasn't so frightened that I shook my legs and feet, but I actually rolled my eyes!
Li Qingyi walked in without changing his face.
Qin Zeng was sitting on a chair and watching his subordinates put an unkempt man on the tiger chair.
The torture of the tiger chair will not torture the criminal to death, but can also allow the perpetrator to grasp the strength, and many people often recruit all the stools before they are hot.
This made the various yamen love it, and those who used it said it was good, and the peers pushed each other, so that the tiger chair quickly became famous and widely used, and several versions were derived.
However, the prisoner in front of him is especially tolerant, the three bricks under the tiger bench don't seem to have any effect on him, Li Qingyi suggested: "I think this person's muscles and bones seem to be softer than ordinary people, it is better to add two more bricks, and add two more wooden poles on his back to firmly fix his spine, so as not to have too much room for him to move." ”
Chang Ze on the side twitched his cheeks when he heard this.
In order to test the degree of pain of the tiger chair, he had felt it shallowly.
At first, there was only one brick under his feet, and his feet and necks were a little sore, but then he added three more pieces, and his feet and necks were tightened violently, and he would cramp if he moved casually, and finally it became difficult to breathe, and his legs were no longer numerous, and after a stick of incense, he just wanted to saw off his legs......
However, Qin Zeng nodded approvingly when he heard this, "Add two more bricks." ”
Hearing this, Chang Ze silently went to add bricks.
Li Qingyi opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Qin came to me, what do you have to ask?" ”
Qin Zeng lifted his thin eyelids and glanced at her.
In fact, he didn't have anything to do with her, but when he saw that she had sent her to the door by herself, he asked her to come and see the prisoner torture to deter her, so that she would not either roll her eyes or scold herself in her heart every time she saw her, and make herself very undignified.
Who knew that this girl was not afraid at all.
Qin Zeng pursed the corners of his lips: "Well, I saw that you were very clever in manipulating people, so I asked you to come over and help me try this prisoner." ”
The means of manipulating people?
Li Qingyi raised his eyebrows.
This eighty percent is the conclusion reached by Qin Zeng after Changning Chang Yan reported what she had done to the Wei family.
"Lord Qin doesn't think I'm vicious?"
Qin Zeng said lightly: "This governor doesn't like the weak, and it is a virtue to take revenge if there is a vengeance." ”
Li Qingyi hooked his lips proudly: "Lord Qin is high." ”
When Qin Zeng heard this, the corners of his indifferent mouth curled up slightly, and he seemed to be a little happy, "So, what do you think about interrogating this prisoner?" ”
Li Qingyi's eyes were aimed at the prisoner.
At this time, the man was sitting with his back straight, his legs stretched straight together, and his ankles were padded with five bricks, and he could not move because he was tied, so that his hamstrings were pulled hard, and his face was full of pain, and he could not even speak.
Li Qingyi said: "When I was a child, I learned to dance, and the most painful thing was to stretch the muscles, which is actually similar to this tiger chair, but I was still young at that time, and the muscles and bones were easy to shape, he was so old, and he was a man, otherwise, let him try to split a cross?" ”
Qin Zeng raised his eyebrows and instructed Chang Ze, "You go." ”
Chang Ze glanced at Li Qingyi like a ghost, called Chang Rong together, and split the prisoner.
The prisoner who was still gritting his teeth and enduring it suddenly became excited, his buttocks almost bounced up, and he snorted in horror, shaking Changze's ears.
Li Qingyi stepped forward to take a look.
At this time, she was like a devil in the eyes of the prisoner, and when he saw her coming, he immediately bared his teeth at her.
Li Qingyi snorted coldly, "It's not enough." ”
Hearing this, Chang Ze Evergreen immediately stepped up.
I just heard the sound of "stabbing......
The prisoner's crotch was torn......
Li Qingyi was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, his eyes were covered.
