It didn't take long for Huo Xian to be taken to the main hall of the Violent Room Prison and knelt in front of Liu He.

Although Huo Xian and Chun Yuyan were thrown into the violent prison on the same day, and the days of detention were also comparable, her spirit was much better, and it could even be said that she was excited.

As soon as the poisonous woman came to the main hall, although she looked low-browed and pleasing to the eyes, she actually secretly looked around her.

When she saw Liu He, who was sitting at the top of the top, her eyes dimmed suddenly.

She wasn't scared or frightened, but she was showing weakness in order to disguise her femme fatale.

"The concubine asks Tianzi'an." Huo Xian obediently bowed down and said.

"Give a seat." Liu He said lightly.

Xu Guanghan was very clever, and immediately moved a couch and placed it beside Huo Xian.

Huo Xian didn't pretend to be pretentious, and after saluting and thanking him again, he sat down.

From beginning to end, her expression was calm as usual, as if this was not the main hall of the violent prison, but the main hall of the Huo Mansion.

Regardless of whether this calm and composure is pretended or not, the city government and mind are far more than ordinary people.

"Mother-in-law, someone instructed Chun Yuyan to poison Emperor Xiaozhao, Jieyu Zhang Anjun and Jieyu Cai Wenyan, can you confess?"

The Son of Heaven didn't call him by his name, he still called his mother-in-law, and there was not much anger in his words, which made Huo Xian think he had seen a glimmer of life.

"Your Majesty, this is a false accusation, Your Majesty can call this person out to confront me, the concubine will never dare to do such a bad thing!"

Huo Xian suddenly shouted in a shrill voice, followed by a burst of gambling curses and swearing, and even squeezed out a few tears at the end, as if he had really been wronged.

It's more deceptive than Chun Yuyan's performance just now.

Liu He looked at Huo Xian's performance coldly, and did not rush to refute it.

Because today, he didn't intend to force Huo Xian to confess.

On the contrary, Liu He had to find a reason to let her go home first to reunite with Huo Guang and Huo Yu, which was the last trap Liu He dug for Huo's family.

Chun Yuyan has confessed, and Huo Xian's murder of the monarch is already a sure thing.

Huo Xianzhao confessed or not, there is not much difference.

Liu He wanted Huo Xian to go back in a panic, and in a state of anxiety, he forced Huo Yu to quickly rob Huo Guang and escape from Chang'an City together.

The whole family fled north and surrendered to the Huns: once they did this, the Huo family would be stinking for 10,000 years.

At this moment, Huo Xian's interrogation was not to force her to confess, but to scare her so much that she couldn't live in fear.

……

Huo Xian made a fuss in the hall for a long time, seeing that the Son of Heaven did not react, and he couldn't guess what the uncertain Son of Heaven was thinking, so he slowly quieted down.

"So, is my mother-in-law unwilling to confess?"

"Your Majesty, it's really a cheap concubine who is innocent, my Huo family is now unlucky, and my husband and Yu'er are confused for a while, and they have made a lot of mistakes......"

"But who dares to do such a vicious thing as killing the king, it is a great crime that will not be exaggerated to die ten times......"

"The concubine is just a woman's family, and she doesn't know anything about the affairs of the court, how dare she do such a thing......"

"Someone must have seen that my Huo family was down, so they wanted to take the opportunity to suppress my Huo family, and wanted to take the opportunity to bring down the Huo family to ask His Majesty for credit, so as to replace him!"

"Your Majesty must not be deceived by traitorous ministers, not to mention that Chengjun has always been weak and sickly, if she knows about this change, I am afraid she will be frightened!"

Liu He obviously just asked a word, but Huo Xian couldn't stop talking excitedly, and then immediately cried again, and his grief and panic appearance was very expressive.

Liu He looked at this farce and never said a word, I have to say that Huo Xian's desire to survive is really strong, and he still does not give up any hope of living when he arrives in this field.

This is a matter of convenience, and the desire for life will make Huo Xian desperately grasp the last straw, and then get lost on the road to survival and bite Liu He's hook.

"Alright, mother-in-law, I hear you." Liu He said quietly, and Huo Xian gradually quieted down.

Since you want to act, I will accompany you to act. Let's go into the drama together to see who can't play in the end.

"Huang Qing, you are Tingwei, how should this matter be handled?" Liu Hefei asked in embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, killing the monarch is a serious crime, and it cannot be investigated clearly, since the Huo family is unwilling to confess well, then it can only be punished." Huang Ba said viciously.

"Torture? Wouldn't that be possible to bend into a move, not to mention that if Cheng Jun knew, I am afraid that he would be frightened! Liu He pretended again.

"Your Majesty, Xia Guan has been on the execution ground for decades, and he has figured out one thing......

"This person, no matter how high the official position is, he is a cheap billet, it is useless to teach them well and the law, only when he suffers will he confide the truth......"

"Even if a child of three or five years old makes up his mind to tell a lie, no matter how much his parents persuade him, it will be in vain, and he will never open his mouth......"

"But if you change the way and whip it a few times with a thin barbed bamboo whip, you will be honest immediately."

"According to what Weichen saw, he should be tortured by this Huo Xian first, and seven or eight kinds of punishments should be summoned first, if she can withstand it, then it will be too late to hear her cry out for injustice!"

Huang Ba said the truth, and when he looked at Huo Xian on the way, his eyes were even more fierce.

Speaking of excitement, he even involuntarily rolled up his sleeves and stood up, as if he thought of the hall doing something to Huo Xian.

This vicious appearance made Huo Xian panic and begged again and again.

"Your Majesty Mingjian, the concubine used to have a disagreement with this Huang Ba because of personal matters, and he is announcing a personal vendetta at the moment!"

"Your Majesty must not listen to his nonsense, maybe he is falsely accusing the concubine, Your Majesty wants to investigate it!"

This time, Huo Xian's panic was not fake, but a little more real fear.

"Your Majesty, Huo Xian opened his mouth and closed his mouth to say that she was a weak woman, which is not right!"

"In this huge Chang'an City, who doesn't know that Huo Xian, the general's wife, is a ruthless character? A shrew and a poisonous woman like her will never open her mouth without heavy punishment! ”

"You, you vicious scoundrel, if you dare to touch me, the queen will definitely not let you go!" Huo Xian screamed.

Just when Huang Ba and Huo Xian were fighting, Liu He pretended to come out to persuade peace.

"Huang Ba, if the punishment is really tried, why do you still need a law Cao, isn't it enough to have a punishment Cao? What you just said is biased. Liu He said.

Huang Ba didn't care about the question of the Son of Heaven, and continued to talk proudly.

"There is no case that cannot be solved by torture once, and if it really can't be solved, then torture again!"

"If torture is used and people can't confess, then the torturers who use torture are simply a shame among the torturers."

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen said a conceited word, the lower officials are proficient in this way, and the number of prisoners who have been served by the lower officials is uncountable, and there is no one who does not confess."

As he spoke, Huang Ba's smug expression was a little more hideous, and a pair of eyes that were gouged out of his fat face shot out a few fierce lights, staring at Huo Xian viciously.

"Huang Qing's words are too arrogant, and they are suspected of exaggerating the effect of torture." Liu He said nonchalantly.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, you can listen to Weichen in detail, and then you will naturally know that what Weichen said is true."

The Son of Heaven made a gesture to stop Huang Ba from saying the terrible words, but Huang Ba was talking about the excitement, so he didn't care about the Son of Heaven at all, and continued to talk about himself.

"Mencius once said that people have four virtues, including shame, especially for female prisoners, before the punishment of Huo Xian's clothes and pants, she can be scattered......

"There is also a saying that ten fingers are connected to the heart, this finger is the most painful place on the human body, you can use a sharpened bamboo skewer to nail it into the gap of the fingernail, although the pain is unbearable, it will not hurt the muscles and bones, and you can continue to use other tortures."

"If you don't open your mouth at this point, you can still use a knife to cut a scar on the female prisoner's face, and then sprinkle coarse salt on it, so that she will lose face in the misery, which is what the female prisoner is most afraid of."

"Hey, hey, hey, if you still don't tell the truth, it doesn't matter......"

"There are many soft spots on this man's body, and he uses a red-hot soldering iron to burn on them, one does not work in two places, two places do not work in three places, and there is always a time to beg for mercy!"

This Huang Ba talked about his methods and skills, and pointed at Huo Xian's body from time to time, as if he was ready to torture Huo Xian.

And this Huo Xian was so frightened by those horrific punishments that she trembled like chaff, and she tightly protected her clothes with both hands, as if she was afraid that Huang Ba would really rush over and strip off all her clothes.

Although Huo Xian was very harsh on the slaves and maids in the back house on weekdays, beating, scolding and punishing were commonplace, and he was rarely vicious; But those methods are simply not on the table in the face of Huang Ba's full torture.

The more people like to abuse others, the more they know the horrors of these tortures.

If the time went back to thirty years ago, Huo Xian was still the down-and-out girl desperately trying to survive in Chang'an City, then she might still have the courage to endure several kinds of torture.

But after all, she has been pampered in the Huo Mansion for decades, and she has always lived a life of fine clothes and fine food, and her skin is like clotted fat, and her fingers are like onion roots.

You don't even have to touch cold water in winter, how can you still withstand the torture of a red-hot soldering iron?

Just listening to Huang Ba's casual nonsense, Huo Xian was already so frightened that he couldn't stop breaking out in a cold sweat.

It was as if those strange tortures had been used on her, and her lower abdomen was even more swollen, and a feeling of urinating with fear became more and more full.

This kind of torture, not to mention a woman, even a strong man may not be able to withstand it.

But Huo Xian had no other choice but to look at the Son of Heaven pleadingly, expecting that the Son of Heaven, who wanted to be Renjun, could remember Huo Chengjun's affection and Huo Guang's prestige, and don't let Huang Bahu come.

Finally, when Huang Ba was telling more and more about his unbearable place, Liu He finally opened his mouth to stop Huang Ba.

"Huang Qing's methods are clever, I said that I have seen it today, but when I came out of the Jiaofang Palace today, the queen begged me to intercede and not let me torture my mother-in-law."

This was obviously a lie, but Huang Ba pretended to be deflated when he heard it.

And Huo Xian was even more amnesty: sure enough, the queen has some status in the heart of the Son of Heaven and can save herself!

"Your Majesty, if you don't let Wechen use the torture, Wechen won't have a choice!" Huang Ba said with some dissatisfaction.

"Huang Qing, can Chun Yuyan be tried first in the next few days, and as for the mother-in-law, let her go back to the house first, which can also be counted as the name of benevolence and filial piety?" Liu He said pretendedly.

Huo Xian, who was crying so much, knew that Chun Yuyan had already confessed, and he couldn't see that this was a puzzle set for her.

When she heard the Son of Heaven intercede for her, her heart was suddenly relieved, and she seemed to see a little possibility of living.

But the joy of this life only appeared for a short time and disappeared.

Because even if she is temporarily released back to her home, she will not be able to escape.

Huo Xian, who just wanted to survive, thought about many questions in his mind, and began to think about what to do next.

Does the Son of Heaven really mean to let himself go? The Huo family has fallen, can Chun Yuyan survive the torture without giving himself a head? Back in the back house, what other way to get rid of the crime?

Huo Xian probably couldn't have imagined that when she thought about these questions, she had already fallen into the trap of the Son of Heaven.

Huang Ba seemed to be a little annoyed by the Son of Heaven's proposal, and said with some negative feelings: "What Your Majesty said is not impossible, but this matter is a matter that Tingwei Temple should be in charge of......

"Wechen is willing to fulfill His Majesty's idea of being a benevolent monarch, but the Han law must not be ignored...... I hope Your Majesty can agree to one of Wechen's requests first! ”

"Huang Qing just mentions, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree!" Liu He asked urgently, it seemed that as long as Huo Xian could get out of trouble, he was willing to agree to everything.

"Your Majesty thinks of the love of flesh and blood, you can put Huo Xian back for the time being......"

When Huang Ba said this, his vicious eyes turned to Huo Xian again, and then he said his request word by word.

"Weichen can not torture Huo Xian at this moment, but if Chun Yuyan confesses Huo Xian, then Weichen will immediately take Huo Xian back for torture!"

"Huang Qing, this Chun Yuyan is also a woman, can you ......" Liu He said again as a difficult statement.

"Your Majesty! Don't have any more women's kindness, what they are doing is a big murder case, and they must be punished heavily! ”

"This ......," Liu He said again with a seeming hesitation.

"If Your Majesty does not allow Weichen's request, then Weichen will beg for bones from Your Majesty, and he should not be this court captain!"

As Huang Ba spoke, he took out the small official seal from his waist and slapped it on the table, the loud noise couldn't help but make people worry that it would fall apart.
