He refused to budge. Wang Tuiguan saw that the atmosphere in the room had become a little tense, so he stepped forward and kicked him hard: "Behave yourself! Don't play dead here. I'm telling you, don't think you're tough. This is only the first day. How much have you learned? You'll have a lot of trouble in the future!"
He was telling the truth. There were many ways of torturing people in the Shuntian Prefecture Prison. Although they were not as terrifying as those of the Jinyiwei, they were still very intimidating.
Dong Chengqi sighed and finally said the first sentence with difficulty: "Why are you in such a hurry? You won't be so powerful for much longer."
Wang Tuiguan sneered and didn't take his words to heart at all: "Whether I am powerful or not, and how long I am powerful is none of your business. Besides, if you have the time to worry about me, you might as well worry about yourself. Tsk tsk, this execution doesn't feel good, does it? In my opinion, what is the matter? Why don't you tell the truth to the prince and the princess? It will save you from suffering more in the future, right? Life is a good thing..."
Dong Chengqi stared at him without moving his eyes, treating all his words as fart. When Wang Tuiguan was almost dry-mouthed, he laughed coldly: "No need to waste words, whether you want to kill me or chop me up, just give me a quick death."
"Satisfied?" Wei An looked at the person in front of him with extreme indifference, and asked rudely, "You have done so many bad things, do you think you can still get a good ending?"
Dong Chengqi stopped talking, spat out a mouthful of blood foam, and then looked up with disdain and asked provocatively: "Otherwise, if I don't give you a quick answer, what are you going to do to me, Princess?"
"I heard that you planned to bite your tongue to commit suicide when you first came here?" Wei An asked instead of answering. Seeing that Dong Chengqi remained calm and looked ready to be killed at any time, he felt disgusted and immediately turned around and ordered Wang Tuiguan: "Go and prepare a pair of red-hot irons. Since Lord Dong wants to die, then grant his wish. There is no need to burn other parts. Didn't he say he didn't want to live? Then burn his tongue. If Lord Dong doesn't die after this, I remember that Lord Dong did something before. He poured hot oil into people's throats to test whether they would die. Why don't you give Lord Dong a bowl of boiling hot oil in the same way?"
Wang Tuiguan was a little dumbfounded. He knew that the girl in front of him was not easy to deal with. The methods she used to deal with Peng Caichen were shocking one by one. But the method she said now still made him shocked. He turned around to look at Prince Zheng and Xie Liangcheng with some embarrassment.
But neither of the two people in front of him showed anything wrong, especially Xie Liangcheng. As soon as Wei An finished speaking, he began to urge: "Don't feel embarrassed, Magistrate. How can such a person be called a human being if he can lay hands on a child like the prince? Besides, it's not like we didn't give him a chance. Since he said he would rather die than talk, we should just regard it as him using his life to atone for his sins."
This is of course not possible from a logical point of view, but Wang Tuiguan knew that this was not something that could be argued about. To be honest, even if Dong Chengqi was tortured to death, no one would say anything.
Are you kidding? This is really a fatal attack on King Zheng's only son. No matter how excessive King Zheng's actions are, everyone will think it is justified.
He shook his shoulders, and seeing that Dong Chengqi still closed his eyes arrogantly and pretended not to hear, he hurriedly bowed to Wei An and left. After a while, he came back and really brought people to get everything Wei An wanted.
Wei An sat on the chair beside him and raised his chin to Wang Tuiguan without any hesitation: "Now that everything is ready, don't let Mr. Dong wait too long, let's get started."
Wang Tuiguan frowned and hesitated. Although he could be considered worldly-wise, he had never done such a thing as pouring hot oil into someone's mouth. The thought of it being too damaging to one's moral character made him a little scared.
Dong Chengqi sneered when he saw this. He said that these people were just pretending to be powerful on the surface, but they actually had no ability. Want to do anything to him? It's too early. These people are still very young, and he is not afraid of them at all.
Not only was he not afraid, he also made a "tsk" sound and did not forget to mock Wei An: "Princess, did you see that? This is a matter that hurts your virtue. Look, who dares to do things for you? Any girl would not be able to say these words. Everyone knows that you are a precious princess. If you act so cruelly and viciously, I'm afraid that in the future..."
He smiled maliciously and looked at Wei An unscrupulously: "I'm afraid he won't have a good ending!"
He did not have a good end, but he had the nerve to say such things. A person who could not do anything with adults and took his anger out on children and was cruel to them, could actually say that those who were cruel would suffer retribution in the future.
Xie Liangcheng was furious when she heard this and was about to attack, but Wei An stopped her. She really found it funny, so she chuckled: "Retribution? A bad death?"
She smiled as she picked up the red-hot iron, looked at the red iron block with sparks on it, and said leisurely, "Speaking of which, being ruthless will indeed bring retribution, but everything has its cause and effect, right? If you hadn't come to provoke us, if you hadn't resorted to all means first, no one would be crazy, and I would have to retaliate against you for no reason. Mr. Dong is a wise man, and he should know that there are gods above us. As for me, I believe in ghosts and gods, and I respect gods and Buddhas, so I admit what I have done, even if I have to be boiled in oil in the future, I am not afraid."
Dong Chengqi sneered and looked down on him.
Wei An tilted his head and looked at him, his voice like a thin, stretched string: "There is one more thing I want to tell you, sir. I don't care if it hurts my virtue or not. I only know that my brother has been tortured by you to a point where he would rather die than live. If no one pays the price for this, then I will have to punish all the people involved. Do you think I dare not?"
The red-hot iron was already in front of them, but Dong Chengqi didn't take it seriously at all. He wasn't afraid at all. How could these delicate girls have ever seen anyone being tortured? A little blood would probably scare them to death. Wei An was tough now, but if she really did it herself later, she would have nightmares for the rest of her life.
He wiped his mouth and showed an expression that wanted to laugh: "I am really a little scared by what the princess said..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he swallowed all the words he was going to say and couldn't help but scream. Wei An really did it. She really pressed the red-hot iron directly on his face! (To be continued)
