The Ministry of Punishment Prison.
The second prince had actually prepared people waiting here.
Seeing the second prince approaching, the man with an eagle's hooked nose immediately came forward to greet him.
"Your Highness." The hook-nosed man saluted.
"Mr. Zhao said that you are good at torture, and no one can survive your torture." The second prince looked at the man in front of him and said slowly.
After Chen Qingzhi was thrown into the Ministry of Punishment Prison, the second prince immediately approached Zhao Gao to discuss ways to deal with Chen Qingzhi.
He didn't want to just lock Chen Qingzhi in jail and do nothing.
Then he waited for Chen Changfeng to return to the capital and rescued Chen Qingzhi unscathed.
Chen Changfeng would even take revenge on himself later.
What the second prince wanted was to ask something out of Chen Qingzhi's mouth. Even if it was false, he had to make it true through Chen Qingzhi's mouth.
"Old Zhao praises me, but it's just a torture tool." The eagle-hook man smiled.
"Go ahead and let me see what kind of skills you have in torture." The second prince waved his hand slightly.
The two of them entered the Penal Department Prison.
Entering the prison, you will be greeted by a musty smell. There are many prisoners in the prison, all of them look dejected and dejected.
The second prince and the man with the eagle hook walked forward, and soon they saw Chen Qingzhi sitting on a pile of hay wearing prison clothes.
The jailer leading the way retreated, leaving only three people here.
Chen Qingzhi could feel two people standing outside the cell, staring at him.
He also knew that since the second prince had brought the matter to the emperor, he would definitely not let him go easily.
"Finally I couldn't bear it anymore." Chen Qingzhi's voice sounded, but no emotion could be heard.
"Chen Qingzhi, this prince will give you one last chance. Now write a letter in blood, saying that everything was ordered by Chen Changfeng. Not only will I not let anyone touch you today, I can even plead with my father to let you leave immediately."
"If you don't write it, don't blame me for being cruel." The second prince stared at Chen Qingzhi and said coldly.
Chen Qingzhi slowly opened his eyes and looked at the second prince in front of him calmly. There was even a hint of teasing in the corner of his mouth: "Do you know why you are always defeated at the hands of His Highness the Crown Prince?"
When the second prince heard this, his expression instantly darkened.
He felt that Chen Qingzhi would not cry until he saw the coffin.
"Then you should tell me." The second prince had a cold face and cold eyes.
"Because you always like to be smart. Being smart doesn't count, but you threaten others at every turn."
"A truly capable person will not express his thoughts on his face, let alone speak threatening words."
"Second Prince, I would also like to advise you to change your ways as soon as possible, otherwise you will not live long."
"You are seeking death!" the second prince shouted.
It didn't matter that he was humiliated by Chen Changfeng, but now even a mere subordinate of Chen Changfeng dared to talk to him like this.
Or when I threatened him.
Are you being smart? Write your thoughts on your face? Speak out your threats?
Is he, the second prince of the Ming Empire, so despised by Chen Qingzhi?
"I'm looking for death, Your Highness, you'd better let me die here now, otherwise, who might die first in the future." Chen Qingzhi seemed to be a different person today.
He changed his usual taciturn attitude and made the second prince look disgusting.
Chen Qingzhi had no choice. The two thousand black-armored guards left the capital without receiving the order. When Chen Changfeng came back, there would be no way to explain the matter.
If I don't think of a solution now, Chen Changfeng will definitely be implicated in this matter.
Chen Qingzhi thanked Chen Changfeng for being kind to him, his master Huo Qubing, and the thousands of soldiers of the Black Armored Guards.
He thought for a long time in the cell these days. The only way to prevent Chen Changfeng from being implicated was to die in this cell.
But he, Chen Qingzhi, could not commit suicide, otherwise he would commit suicide out of fear of crime, and Chen Changfeng could not be completely uninvolved.
The only way is to wait for the second prince to come to interrogate him, and then find a way to stimulate the second prince and make him kill himself in anger.
In this way, everything can be delegated to the second prince.
If the prince loses one of his men, the emperor will probably not pursue the matter of the black armored guards again.
This is Chen Qingzhi's plan.
The second prince was indeed extremely angry. Hearing that a mere Chen Qingzhi dared to curse him like this, the second prince wanted to kill Chen Qingzhi on the spot.
He turned to look at the hook-nosed man behind him: "I'll put him to death. I want to see if his mouth is really that tough."
Chen Qingzhi was dragged out and whipped with a whip covered in coarse salt. For an hour, there was no good-looking piece of flesh left on his body.
There was blood dripping and his whole body was twitching in pain.
But even so, Chen Qingzhi did not cry out. Instead, he looked at the second prince with a playful face: "Your Highness, are you tickling me?"
The second prince was about to explode with rage.
Staring at the man with the hooked nose, he said, "If he doesn't beg for mercy, you will die!"
The second prince has never been looked down upon in such a way, and he has never heard such arrogant words even in front of Chen Changfeng.
How dare a mere Chen Qingzhi despise himself so much?
The man with the hooked nose was originally full of confidence, but now he was feeling uneasy.
An ordinary person would probably cry out in pain after being whipped twice, but the man in front of him had been whipped for an entire hour, and two of his whips were broken.
All the skin and flesh on his body had been completely pulled away, which was almost equivalent to being skinned alive.
Every individual should howl out. Those who don't howl out are either dead or have fainted from the pain.
But no one was like him now, not only did he not cry out in pain, but he could also speak out.
"Your Highness, we can no longer use torture. If we use torture again, people will die."
"If he dies, it will be difficult to explain." The hook-nosed man persuaded the second prince in a low voice.
He was also worried about what he would do if Chen Qingzhi still refused to give in if he used torture again.
Will Chen Qingzhi really be killed by then?
When Chen Changfeng comes back, if he doesn't kill the second prince, will he kill him as the executioner?
Even if he was hiding in a trap, he felt that he would probably die.
Zhao Gao would not directly break up with the prince because of him.
The second prince's face was extremely angry, and his two rows of back molars were almost broken. At this moment, he had no choice but to listen to the advice of the hook-nosed man.
If Chen Qingzhi died, he would not have a good life either.
"Let him rest for a day and continue the trial tomorrow. I want to see how long he can keep his mouth tough." After the second prince said that, he left with an angry look.
The man with the hooked nose let out a long sigh of relief, and then quickly left the place.
…
"Crown Princess, Mr. Yao and Mr. Tang came over and asked to see the Crown Princess." In the East Palace, Tang Wan'er was creating, and Xiang'er whispered from the side.
Tang Wan'er was a little confused.
Yao Xiaoren usually wouldn't come to see him, so why did he suddenly come here with his father?
Did something happen?
Tang Wan'er's heart suddenly tightened, and she looked at Xiang'er's face again. Seeing that there was nothing unusual about her, she thought it wasn't what she was worried about.
"Did you tell me what it was about?" Tang Wan'er put down her pen, stood up and changed into a small coat under Xiang'er's service.
"It seems to be related to General Chen Qingzhi. They didn't make it clear." Xiang'er shook his head.
She didn't know much, she only heard Tang Mingren mention Chen Qingzhi's name.
