Murong Xue: "... Prayer is useful?"
"Maybe... useful." Ouyang Shaochen said sincerely, but Murong Xue felt that there was a trace of uncertainty in his tone: "..."
Well, what she said just now, she didn't ask.
It is the first time that the second prince has been appointed by the emperor to investigate the matter. He is not sure about his ability and whether he can find out the truth of the matter. Naturally, he cannot be 100% sure about Ye Tianqi's innocence, but: "The matter is progressing." How is it?" How far has the Second Prince's investigation reached
"The progress is not bad, and we have reached the stage of interrogating the suspect." Ouyang Shaochen said softly.
"Interrogate the suspect? Interrogate Ye Tianqi?" Murong Xue's eyes dimmed.
"No." Ouyang Shaochen shook his head: "He is interrogating another suspect, that is, the thief who stole the jade seal."
Murong Xue was slightly surprised: "Why did the second prince think of interrogating him?" In the eyes of outsiders, Ye Tianqi was quite suspicious of Yuxi's poisoning, and she thought that the second prince would hold on to Ye Tianqi tightly. .
"That man is also a suspect after all. As the investigator of Yuxi's poisoning, the second prince will naturally go to interrogate him." Ouyang Shaochen said lightly, and a hint of inscrutability flashed in his obsidian-like pupils. .
The torture room of the prison was located in the depths of the prison. The room was filled with various instruments of torture. A tall man in a black cloak was being tied hands and feet and nailed to the wall in the shape of a cross.
A middle-aged man wearing a jailer's uniform was holding a whip and was beating him fiercely. His black cloak was torn to pieces, and his body under the clothes was bruised all over. The room was filled with thick Strong smell of blood...
I don't know how long it took, the jailer was tired from beating, stopped his hands, glared at the cloaked man fiercely and said, "Tell me, did you inject the poison on the jade seal?"
The man in the cloak snorted coldly and didn't speak, but there was indescribable contempt and ridicule in that hum.
The jailer was furious, and continued to beat the cloaked man with his whip. The flexible whip had barbs on it, and every time he swung it, he could take a trace of flesh and blood from the cloaked man...
The man in the cloak lowered his head as if he couldn't feel it, and said nothing.
Standing behind the execution room, watching the execution through the small window, the fifth prince couldn't help praising in his heart: being beaten like this, and still not saying a word, is really tough...
The second prince glanced at the man in the cloak, and said flatly: "Thieves who dare to enter the palace to steal jade seals have hard bones."
The fifth prince smiled. The bones of this man in the cloak are not so hard. In the past few days of interrogation, various major and minor punishments such as ironing, watering, and whipping have been used on him. There are also 80 instruments of torture, which have severely injured him, but he still doesn't say a word. Even if they continue to beat him, the cloaked man probably won't say a word...
The royal father sent them to find out the truth about Yuxi's poisoning, but they couldn't even pry open the mouth of a suspect. It's really embarrassing...
"Ah..." There was a shrill scream. It was the cloaked man's contempt and disdain that angered the jailer. The jailer took a basin of salt water and poured it on the cloaked man. The cloaked man drooped his head and passed out...
Alas, passed out again!
The second prince looked at the man in the cloak who was unconscious in ragged clothes, covered in blood, and rubbed his forehead with a headache. This is the sixth coma today, and the interval between his coma is getting shorter and shorter. The injuries on his body became more and more serious.
"Today's punishment ends here. Send him back to the prison. Find a doctor to show him. Don't let him die." About Yuxi's poisoning, he still wants to find clues from the cloaked man. If you die, your clues will be broken...
"Yes." The jailers answered in a deep voice, untied the man in the cloak from the iron frame, grabbed his leg, and dragged him towards the cell...
