Pei Ninghe's screams could still be heard at first, but soon, only muffled sounds and whimpering sounds could be heard.
Most likely, his mouth was covered, dragged to a corner and beaten.
This prince is quite vicious. After all, Pei Ninghe is also his cousin, so she is related by blood. He doesn't want to save her, but he even orders someone to hold her down and beat her.
After dealing with the noisy Pei Ninghe, the prince raised his hand, and the guards behind him immediately stepped forward and opened the cell door.
"Yan Mingzhu, did Gu say last time that next time you see Gu, Gu will make you kneel on the ground crying and begging Gu to spare you!"
Yan Mingzhu looked the prince up and down, and couldn't help but sigh. They were both born to the same father, so how could the gap between them be so huge.
Qi Jue has a magnificent appearance and an admirable noble attitude. He not only absorbs all the advantages, but also brings them to the extreme.
On the other hand, the prince, not to mention Emperor Zhao, and Queen Pei were also beautiful, but obviously, the prince did not inherit the appearance of Queen Pei, but instead inherited the shortcomings of Emperor Zhao and Queen Pei.
No wonder he is not favored by Emperor Zhao. After all, with such a bright pearl as Qi Jue in front of him, and people tend to love beautiful things, it is normal for the prince to be neglected for so many years.
"Is it possible that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been neglected for so many years? Although he has the title of Crown Prince, he has no actual status as Crown Prince. After finally directing and acting in such a play, he can't wait to torture and extract a confession in an attempt to win favor in front of His Majesty?"
Even though Yan Mingzhu is still unable to investigate and find substantive evidence, as for Queen Pei's series of operations at the banquet, anyone with a brain knows that she cannot be separated from it.
What's more, she was imprisoned in front of her, and the prince rushed over in the back. Is this because he was afraid that if he was a step too late, he would not have the chance to extract a confession from her?
Yan Mingzhu revealed his dirty intentions with one sentence, and the prince's face turned ugly. Originally, he had no intention of using torture, he just wanted to scare Yan Mingzhu first.
After all, this ordinary girl was frightened out of her wits when she was caught in a place like this. How could she admit everything with just a little scare like this?
But unexpectedly, instead of being frightened, Yan Mingzhu opened her mouth with sarcasm, instantly turning the prince's face black with anger.
"Yan Mingzhu, it seems that you can't wait to die. Very good. In this case, Gu Ziran has to help you, tie your hands and feet, and take you to the interrogation room!"
Although Yan Mingzhu's whip was confiscated when she was imprisoned, her force value is still strong even without weapons.
Dealing with these guards was no problem at all, but when the guards came to arrest her, she did not resist. Instead, she allowed them to tie her hands and take her to the interrogation room.
The interrogation room was filled with a strong smell of blood, and eighteen kinds of torture instruments were placed inside, some of which even had blood stains on them.
"Yan Mingzhu, if you are a smart person, you should confess as soon as possible. Are the Yuan family remnants of the previous dynasty? Did you poison the table?"
After hearing this, Yan Mingzhu chuckled softly: "Okay, I confess, you must remember it."
This woman is going to confess so soon? Hehe, it seems that she is also greedy for life and afraid of death. Also, what weak woman can dare to speak harshly in such a situation?
The prince raised his hand and motioned to the guards to take notes and write them down.
"I confess that the assassination case and the poisoning of His Highness Prince Dingbei were directed and performed by Queen Pei. The purpose was to use the events of the previous dynasty to draw His Highness Prince Bei into the water, in order to consolidate the crown prince and crown prince.
The purpose of the position.”
The prince's heart suddenly rose to his throat. Listening to what Yan Mingzhu said, it was as if Yan Mingzhu had seen him and his mother doing these tricks behind his back.
Otherwise, how could she guess so accurately!
At this time, the prince couldn't sit still and ordered with a cold face: "It seems that you won't shed tears without seeing the coffin. I'll beat you to death!"
The guard picked a whip and smeared chili oil on the whip. Once the prisoner was beaten to a pulp, the chili oil would seep into the skin at the same time, making the person feel like ice and fire during the torture process. Life would be worse than death!
"The Jokhang law stipulates that the torture of prisoners can only be carried out with the consent of the presiding officer. With your ability, Prince, it is impossible for His Majesty to hand over the presiding power of these two cases to you.
Bar?
Since I am not the chief judge, you are now interrogating me and punishing me, but you have a consent form? If there is no consent form, you are using the torture privately and violating the laws of Jokhang. Even if you are the prince, you must be punished!"
Yan Mingzhu deliberately used the provocation method, and sure enough, he caught a trace of panic flashing in the prince's eyes at the first moment.
Her guess was indeed correct. The prince was not the presiding judge in these two cases. He might have held some position and was in a hurry to try her.
The prince was not that stupid, he quickly realized that Yan Mingzhu was deceiving him, and said angrily: "I am a noble prince, and I don't need any consent form to torture you. It's ridiculous. I'm doing it in a daze."
What, torture!"
In the darkness, a figure moved. Yan Mingzhu stared in one direction and shook his head slowly.
Snap, a whip hit him.
Yan Mingzhu tilted her head slightly, counting silently in her mind, and at the same time, she turned her wrist slightly when they were not paying attention.
Two whips.
Three lashes... until the fifth lash.
When the whip was swung again, suddenly, the tail of the whip was firmly grasped by a delicate hand.
"Five people, five whips, just right. Now, it's my turn. Only in this way can it be considered fair and just."
When the prince saw Yan Mingzhu breaking free from the restraints, and seeing her grabbing the whip with her bare hands, the prince's cold gaze swept over, causing the prince to feel a chill on the back of his neck for no reason!
"Quickly, arrest this damn woman!"
But before the guard could take action, Yan Mingzhu grabbed one end of the whip and pulled it forward, and the guard on the other end of the whip was pulled directly over.
Without giving him a chance to react, Yan Mingzhu flicked the whip with one hand, formed a circle, and put it accurately around the guard's neck.
Then, she took a few steps back, threw up one end of the whip, and circled the wooden stake behind her. In the process, guards on both sides rushed toward her with swords drawn.
Yan Mingzhu flew up, made a bend in mid-air, kicked one person in the stomach, and while kicking the person away, he pulled down with his other hand.
The guard whose neck was tied was lifted up by the whip and was suspended in mid-air for an instant!
The sudden suffocation caused the guard to struggle violently in mid-air, but Yan Mingzhu held the other end of the whip firmly, not giving him a chance to come down and breathe.
"Trash, a bunch of trash, get up quickly and kill this crazy woman!"
The guards who were kicked to the ground quickly got up. One of the guards didn't even have a chance to raise the knife. Yan Mingzhu raised her hand sideways and stabbed his eyes accurately!
At the same time as he screamed, he grabbed the knife in his hand, raised the knife with his hand, and slashed his neck, neatly slitting his throat!
