Some people wanted to say something, but seeing that everyone in the Censorate was silent, they put their feet back down after raising them slightly. The person who should stand up didn't, and the person who shouldn't stand up stood up. Isn't that asking for trouble?!
Naturally, everyone treated what Prince Duan said before as if he had never said it. After all, those words were just an introduction, and anyone who took them seriously was a fool.
Emperor Xuanren's previous "inaction" caused the matter to become a hot topic, and accordingly, everything that should be exposed was exposed. Now, with thundering measures, the matter was "calmed down" in less than half a day.
Kaiping Guard was directly under the emperor's jurisdiction and had relatively great power, but it was not all-powerful, and many things would not be brought to the surface. This was the first large-scale operation of Kaiping Guard since Wei Tingyu took the position of commander. Xiaocao was attacked this time, and it was obvious that he had touched his bottom line. He was holding back his anger, which just exploded at this moment, so he was naturally not gentle in his actions.
No matter if they were the master or the servant, as long as they got involved, the Kaiping guards would capture them all, like hungry wolves. If anyone resisted, whether verbally or physically, the scabbard would be used to smash them. It would be fine if it hit the body, but if someone was not careful and hit the head, causing disfigurement and bleeding, it would be their own fault.
Wei Tingyu was wearing the official uniform of a third-rank commander. He looked tall and straight, with a handsome face and extraordinary bearing. However, at this moment, his face was stern and his eyes were emotionless. He looked at those wailing students as if he was looking at lifeless objects. He became a cold-faced Shura. No one dared to approach him within a ten-foot range.
"Take them all away." He said these four words coldly and turned away.
All the arrested people were thrown into Kaiping Prison, and the person who originally "exposed" Wenren Taibo was also transferred to him from the Dali Temple.
Wei Tingyu was very familiar with the Kaiping Prison. He was a frequent visitor before he took the position of commander. Naturally, he was quite familiar with various methods of torture. In fact, because of Xiaocao, he had a better understanding of the human body and knew which parts would be extremely painful if touched, so painful that people wished they wanted to die immediately. Of course, under normal circumstances, he would not use these tortures.
On the contrary, Wei Tingyu's methods were mostly quite gentle, and he rarely used whipping. He preferred to attack people's hearts.
The prison in Kaipingwei was not eerie or cold at all; on the contrary, it was bright and spacious, and was cleaned up quickly.
After locking the people up, Wei Tingyu did not touch them, but asked them to keep absolutely quiet.
Then the "whistleblower" was interrogated in the next room. Of course, the whistleblower had no idea that there were quite a few listeners nearby.
The "whistleblower" was very tough at the beginning, saying that he would never compromise and that he knew Wei Tingyu was Princess Anguo's future husband, and that he would not change his words even if someone tried to force a confession from him. He then cursed Wei Tingyu in a series of ways, showing real arrogance and strength, and definitely not the righteousness of someone who would bow to evil forces.
Wei Tingyu was unmoved. He tilted his head to the side and motioned the "whistleblower" to look. The man subconsciously followed and looked. In fact, he didn't understand anything. Then Wei Tingyu slowly said, "Do you know about water torture?"
The "whistleblower"'s expression suddenly changed, and endless fear was revealed in his eyes.
Wei Tingyu smiled, "It seems that you know it. It's even better if you know it. When I knew about this punishment before, I was actually quite curious whether it would really be as written in the book. However, I thought it was too cruel, so I didn't do it. Now, I want to give it a try. I am honored to have you witness it with me." He waved his hand and had someone blindfold him.
The "whistleblower" was fixed up, especially the head part, which was just a head-shaped mold with the head stuck inside. No matter how the body twisted, the head could not move at all, and he lay on his back.
A bucket filled with ice was placed above his head. There was a small hole in it, and only a drop of water fell slowly, landing on the center of his eyebrows. The icy and cold feeling made his scalp numb and his brows furrowed.
"The book says to drip on the head, but let's change the place. It is said that the area between the eyebrows is more sensitive and more stimulating. I have consulted people before. It is probably impossible to see the effect of dripping water wearing away a stone if dripping on this place. After all, it is said that even the most powerful person will go crazy in a few days.
But it's just rumors, maybe you think differently
This book says that after half a month, a person's scalp will start to soften, and after a month, the hair will start to fall out. After the hair has fallen out, the scalp will start to rot, and flies and insects will fly over it. Now, the hair will not fall out, but I don't know when your skin will become soft, when it will rot, when the flesh will fall off, and when the bones will be penetrated.
Be strong and hold on longer, otherwise if you go crazy and can't feel anything, it will be so boring."
Wei Tingyu spoke slowly and steadily, and his voice was pleasant to the ear to begin with. However, at this moment, no one thought it was pleasant to the ear. They all thought he was the most terrifying evil ghost in the world, especially the whistleblower, because he could not see and his senses and hearing were more acute.
It didn't take a few days for him to feel like he was going crazy. "I'll tell you everything, just let go, let me go—"
Wei Tingyu silently curled the corners of his mouth, but his eyes became even colder.
