Tianlao is where people who have committed serious crimes are kept. It is not used for ordinary incidents. There are old blood stains on the torture instruments. Take the whip for example, it has turned brown.
Wei Weiyan was sitting in the innermost cell. He didn't understand how he, a dignified Minister of War and a high-ranking official of the imperial court, could have fallen to this point.
Why would his only son betray him? It was obvious that everything he did was for him. Wei Weiyan's spirit seemed to dissipate in an instant, and he looked several years older.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the terrifyingly silent prison.
Wei Weiyan didn't even move, he just sat there, as if nothing could move his mood.
The footsteps stopped in front of Wei Weiyan, and the man chuckled: "Is it okay to stay here, father?"
Wei Weiyan suddenly raised his head and looked at the person who came. He gritted his teeth and felt like he wanted to tear the person in front of him to pieces on the spot: "Wei Yuze, you still dare to appear in front of me. I am in this position now because of you. Why? Is your father not good to you? All the affairs in the mansion are left to you to take care of."
Wei Yuze just chuckled sarcastically: "Father, don't be anxious. I have come to ask the Marquis specifically to help you solve your doubts."
Wei Weiyan snorted coldly and did not struggle in vain.
Wei Yuze was very satisfied with Wei Weiyan's understanding of the situation at the moment, and explained: "Father, you don't know how much I hate that your blood is flowing in my body. If it weren't for you, my mother and I wouldn't have fallen to this point."
Wei Yuze looked very angry and continued, "I know you treat me well, but if your only legitimate son had not died, would you have thought of me? I'm afraid you wouldn't be touched at all even if I died in a deserted village! If that's the case, why should I be grateful for the things you gave me?"
"Do you know how my mother and I lived? Back then, it was you who took advantage of your power to seize my mother, but because of your great power, the matter was left unresolved. Who would have thought that when my mother was pregnant with me, he couldn't bear to beat me, but her growing belly made her family feel that she was a disgrace to the family and kicked her out. Father, can you imagine how miserable a woman's life would be after being kicked out of the house with no money and a bastard in her belly?"
The more Wei Yuze spoke, the more ferocious his expression became as he looked at Wei Weiyan.
Wei Weiyan snorted coldly and said coldly: "She was unfaithful to her husband and seduced men! Fortunately, she died early, otherwise I would have sent someone to kill her when I left! If I hadn't raised you, I wouldn't have let that family go either."
Wei Yuze laughed wildly: "Hahahaha, I have long understood that you are such a ruthless and selfish person, so I just want to destroy the career you have worked hard for your whole life and destroy the Wei family's decades of glory."
Wei Weiyan stood up and looked at Wei Yuze fiercely: "Wei Yuze, you dare! I won't let you go."
Wei Yuze looked around and asked in confusion: "Who? Who won't let me go? You? Don't be ridiculous. Do you think that the emperor will let you go after you killed the Sixth Prince of Ankui? Forget it, Wei Weiyan. Your son is waiting for your head to fall to the ground!"
"Wei Yuze, it turns out you were the one who plotted against me!" Wei Weiyan roared.
Wei Yuze looked at the people in the prison who were looking at him angrily like a headless beast. He felt happy and retreated step by step. From now on, Wei Weiyan would never appear in his world again!
Wei Yuze walked to the place where the torture instruments were placed, and Mo Yu was sitting on a chair waiting for him.
"Did you finish talking?"
"Thank you, sir, for letting me in."
Mo Yu smiled gently: "This is what I promised you."
Wei Yuze suddenly felt more tired than ever before: "My Lord, some of his important things are in the secret room in the backyard. You can go and look for them."
Mo Yu nodded and handed him something: "This is your new household registration. From now on, you will have nothing to do with Wei Weiyan anymore!"
Wei Yuze took it and expressed his gratitude sincerely: "Thank you." He turned around and left without hesitation.
He was thankful for many things, such as when he was still a young man in a ruined mountain village full of hatred, someone suddenly came to ask him if he wanted to take revenge one day, helped him push Wei Weiyan into the abyss step by step after coming to the capital, gave him a new identity, and allowed him to stand in the sun openly... ...
Mo Yu looked at Wei Yuze's departing back, with a strange excitement in his eyes: "Go, call our Lord Wei out, I want to have a good chat with him."
Standing nearby was the official in charge of the prison, who immediately sent someone to bring Wei Weiyan out.
Wei Weiyan kept yelling all the way, and the jailer quickly tied him to the rack.
"Sir Wei, please save some strength and fight me!" Mo Yu looked at Wei Weiyan and said nonchalantly.
The jailers looked at each other, and one of them said hesitantly: "My lord, it's not good to resort to lynching like this!" He used to work under Wei Weiyan, and it was really hard for him to bring himself to hit his own master.
"Since you can't do it, just stand aside." Mo Yu pointed at the junior official standing next to him and said, "Since your subordinates are disobedient, then you can do it. Lord Wei even assassinated the prince of Ankui Kingdom. I don't know how many things the emperor doesn't know. Since the emperor has handed this matter to me, I will definitely conduct a thorough investigation to live up to the emperor's grace."
Mo Yu said righteously, narrowing his eyes slightly and looking at the official with murderous intent: "Sir, do you think so?"
The official broke out in a cold sweat and responded quickly. Mo Yu's words were clearly a threat to him. Thinking of the Ninth Prince behind Wei Weiyan and the Emperor behind Mo Yu, he would offend the other party no matter what he did.
He glanced at Mo Yu, who was still looking at him with a smile, and clearly saw murderous intent in Mo Yu's eyes. He gritted his teeth, picked up the whip and hit him.
Screams instantly filled the entire torture room.
Mo Yu smiled with satisfaction: "Sir Wei, don't blame me for being cruel. It's your fault for choosing the wrong side from the beginning. You can't blame others for your current situation." He glanced at the official who was whipping more vigorously after hearing his words and said, "Sir, don't you agree?"
The official nodded quickly: "Yes, yes."
"Well, the next thing is up to you. You must interrogate Lord Wei for everything he has done! Goro, you watch here. If the whip doesn't soften Lord Wei's mouth, then try another punishment. There will always be a way that Lord Wei is willing to confess. I really can't stand this bloody scene, so I'll leave first!" Mo Yu looked at Wei Weiyan with heartache and left.
