Everywhere is luxurious, and nothing is exquisite.
There are more maids coming and going than anywhere else in the house.
In such a wealthy and luxurious nest, when Ji Qing rushed in with a team of guards, the peaceful and beautiful atmosphere was gone.
"Ah!" The maids were so frightened that they dropped the plates.
"Who are you? You broke into Liuli Pavilion without permission. Do you know where this place is?" A maid wearing a gold hairpin rushed out and pointed at the noses of the guards and yelled angrily.
Ji Qing glanced at her coldly and quickly glanced around.
Zhang Yuan stood up with a sneer and said loudly: "According to the order of the prince, a thorough investigation of Liuli Pavilion! Everyone will leave the house immediately and gather in the yard!"
"Those who disobey the order - behead!"
As soon as the murderous words came out, the maid turned pale with fear and took a step back unconsciously.
Knowing that it was the prince's order, the servants in the Liulic Pavilion did not dare to disobey, and soon ran out in a panic and huddled in the courtyard.
"Search!" Ji Qing ordered.
"Go in and search, don't miss any place, be fast!" Zhang Yuan shouted, rushing into the side room first.
A group of guards were all gearing up, their eyes gleaming with excitement, and they pounced on every corner of the Liuli Pavilion like wolves and tigers, quickly searching.
Of course, a search is a search.
The guards did not deliberately destroy anything in the house, but they did not spare any corner, even turning the flower beds upside down.
Two guards guarded the courtyard door, staring at the uneasy maid servants in the courtyard.
Ji Qing was not idle either and strode towards the main room.
He remembered that when he came to invite his concubine, she blocked him in the main hall and seemed to intentionally prevent him from going to the back room.
The back room is the living room, where the concubine usually sits, sleeps, and rests.
If you want to hide something, in a hurry, the most likely place is in the back room.
Ji Qing walked in without hesitation.
The search lasted for more than an hour.
In the main courtyard, Xiao Lingyue and Zhan Beihan have also been waiting.
In the middle of the execution, a guard came to report: "Your Majesty, those two maids have fainted. Do you want to continue the beating?"
"As long as one witness survives, it's enough." Zhan Bei said coldly, "Pick one person to torture. You can torture them however you want, and let the other one watch from the side. If he still refuses to confess, he will be executed in the water cell!"
"Yes." The guard took the order and went immediately.
Xie Yurui has two personal maids, Caiyun and Caixia.
To torture one of them, regardless of life or death, is a severe physical torture, which is already difficult for people to bear.
He also asked another maid to watch from the side, witnessing the misery of his companions, and not knowing when it would be his turn. This kind of psychological oppression and fear was even easier to destroy the defense than simple torture.
Xiao Lingyue took another look at Xie Yurui, who was lying unconscious on the ground.
The two maids still refuse to explain.
If they are not really innocent, then they still have hope for Xie Yurui and hope that she can save them.
Zhan Beihan was unwilling to torture Xie Yurui directly.
That's why it was necessary to search Liuli Pavilion to find evidence so that Xie Yurui could not make excuses.
When the hopes of the two maids were dashed, they would naturally relent, and the witnesses and physical evidence would be ready.
Xiao Lingyue rubbed her eyebrows.
It’s too much trouble. Popular『』 This chapter has been completed!
