Chapter 230: Facing Wei Yilan Again
A basin of cold water poured down his head.
"Ahh
When I opened my eyes and looked around, I found that I was locked in a dark cell, and my hands and feet were tied in large characters.
In front of him, there were all kinds of torture instruments, including a soldering iron, chili water, a tiger chair, and even a large red-hot vat.
"How many can you carry?" Xiao Yuchen picked up the red-hot soldering iron and asked.
The corners of Gonggong Wan's mouth twitched, "Lord Wang, the slave is the old man in the palace of Concubine Shu...... Serving the mother for more than ten years, there is no merit and hard ......"
The word hard work is not finished.
"Ahhh
Xiao Yuchen plucked out his ears, withdrew the soldering iron in his hand, and continued to roast on the fire.
In the dark cell, the smell of meat overflowed.
Gonggong Wan gasped for breath, and the cold sweat on his back had already merged into a "small river".
"The prince, the prince spares ......"
"For more than ten years, even raising dogs has been mature. You're a white-eyed wolf who can't be fed. Xiao Yuchen's eyes were cold.
The soldering iron in his hand was already burning red, "Who instructed you to arrange for the dead to assassinate the princess?" Who arranged for you to poison your mother's tea? ”
Wan Gonggong gasped and raised his eyes to look at him, "I don't know...... Lord Wang, I was wronged, I don't know...... Ahhh......h
The red-colored iron was pressed against his flesh again.
This time, the aroma of the meat was mixed with the smell of roast.
"This king has always been impatient."
Before the red-hot iron got close, one could feel its scorching heat.
But Xiao Yuchen pressed the soldering iron the skin and flesh of the eunuch's chest, without mercy.
Wen Jin outside the cell door had a complicated expression.
No wonder Xiao Yuchen didn't let her come to see ...... This kind of interrogation method, which does not treat people as human beings, is too strong for the senses.
It's a feeling to watch it on TV.
It's really happening in front of you, but it's a different feeling......
The screams that pierced the eardrums, the smell of burnt meat, the distorted faces of the eunuchs......
"Break a foot." Xiao Yuchen said.
The bystanders immediately grabbed a sledgehammer.
Wen Jin's heart tightened.
"I say, I say! Rajah! It's Princess Hailing! Princess Hailing buys off the minions! Princess Hailing hated Princess Huai, saying that Princess Huai took away everything that originally belonged to her, and now she can't be happy, and Princess Huai shouldn't think about it......"
The soldering iron in Xiao Yuchen's hand slammed on the stove, splashing a spark.
"How...... Is it her again? Xiao Yuchen's fists gradually tightened, and his expression was like a layer of frost.
Wen Jin lowered his head and lowered his eyes, pondering for a moment.
"How did Wei Yilan buy you? What good does she promise you to do for her? ”
Wen Jin suddenly opened the door and entered the torture room, "You can serve in the palace of Concubine Shuniang for more than ten years." If you don't make a big mistake, you can live this life in peace.
"What did she give you to make you take such a big risk and betray your master?"
Gonggong Wan glanced at Wen Jin, and horror appeared in his eyes.
She ...... She gave the minions a lot of money. Even if the slave is loyal for more than ten years, he won't get so much money! ”
Wen Jin tilted his head, "It's not just money, right?" You have been in the inner palace for so many years, it is impossible not to understand that although the money is good, you have to have a life to spend it.
"There must be another reason for you to take the risk...... Or is it someone who has given you a reassurance, and you weigh it up and think that person can save your life? ”
Gonggong Wan shook his head first, then nodded again.
"No, no...... It's Princess Hailing! Princess Hailing protects the slave from dying! ”
Wen Jin smiled, "You have a lot of tricks, but we're not stupid.
"Princess Hailing had a falling out with the Wei family a while ago. The Wei family refused to protect her. She and King Hailing also had a discord between husband and wife because of the two side concubines.
"Such a princess who was abandoned by her mother's family and disliked by her husband's family...... Isn't that what I used to be?
"She can save herself, which is already a skill. How can it be possible to keep you? ”
Grandpa Wan inhaled in pain and said as he inhaled.
"Minions...... The minions didn't think that much...... Emaciated camels are bigger than horses. She said yes, and the slave believed. She said that Princess Huai is now favored, but because she has a son. But King Huai still has her in his heart, so even if you die, princess...... King Huai won't really want her to pay for her life, she will definitely be able to protect her minions......"
When Xiao Yuchen heard this, he was angry.
His muscles tightened and his bones rattled.
Wen Jin snorted, "You believe what she said?" If you have this little judgment, can you survive in the inner palace until now? Don't play dumb. ”
Wen Jin took a step back.
"I can't look at this torture instrument, let's come here."
She turned to leave.
Xiao Yuchen did not pretend to be someone else's hand, he personally lifted the sledgehammer.
"She promised me 30,000 taels of silver! Thirty thousand taels! I've been a cow and a horse all my life, and I've been a dog for my master, and I can't earn so much!
"The minions' fellow villagers are better mixed than the minions! More money than a minion! Although the minion is physically disabled, the minion also wants to live as a human being!
"With this money, they don't want to underestimate me! A slave can also have a human appearance in front of his fellow villagers! Ahhh......h
Xiao Yuchen's hammer did not fall down.
But the eunuch howled miserably.
The pain he screamed out didn't seem to come from his body, but from the depths of his heart.
Crippled body, distorted self-esteem, repressed human nature...... Perhaps it makes eunuchs crave dignity more than normal people, even if that dignity is false and is piled up with money.
"How much did you get?" Wen Jin asked.
"Ten thousand taels ......," the eunuch hesitated.
Wen Jin nodded, glanced at Xiao Yuchen, and walked out of the dungeon.
The sunlight outside the dungeon kept her eyes open for a moment.
But the fresh air in her face made her breathe greedily.
"Do you believe what he says?" Xiao Yuchen followed.
"Half-truths." Wen Jindao, "He mentioned his fellow villagers, and he mentioned 10,000 taels.
"First, I asked the prince to search and see if the 10,000 taels were still in the Weirui Palace. Find out if he has a property in Kyoto.
"In addition, can the prince find out his household registration and inquire about the situation in his hometown. As the saying goes, 'wealth does not return to the hometown, like brocade clothes walking at night', he wants dignity and face so much, it is very likely that he will throw this money to his hometown. In front of those who looked down on him in the past, he showed off his might. ”
Xiao Yuchen looked at her deeply, "I'll call someone to do it......"
He summoned someone over and whispered an explanation.
"Jin'er......" he hesitated, but he didn't know what to say.
"It's not good to keep Wei Yilan in prison for too long, right? Will the prince go to trial, or will I go? Wen Jin took the initiative.
Xiao Yuchen's mouth was full of bitterness.
When he was in the palace, he thought that the concubine scolded him too hard and didn't save face for him.
But at this moment, he felt that the concubine scolded too lightly...... If he scolded a little more harshly and let Wen Jin completely relieve his anger, wouldn't he have to be so embarrassed......
Wen Jin raised his eyebrows, "What does the prince want to say?" Do you want to say that you have never liked Wei Yilan? Or do you want to say that she is just in the past tense, a childhood sweetheart when you were young and ignorant? Nothing to do with the present? ”
When Xiao Yuchen heard this, his face gradually turned pale.
Looking at her indifferent expression, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness...... It seems that no matter what he says, it will not help.
