Liu Mingzhi looked at the officials leaving together for a while, with a hint of deep meaning hidden in his eyes.
"The top priority is to interrogate the empress, Ren Qingrui, and inquire about the identity of the person behind the scenes."
"The Queen is only 16 years old, and she is a member of the female class. I do not deny that she is a courageous and knowledgeable woman, but without the support of a huge force, she will only be able to enter the palace.
Judging from time, it is absolutely impossible to commit such a heinous crime."
"Chengzhou, the land of Shu, is thousands of miles away from the capital. The queen has no relatives or friends in the palace, and the head of the state, Ren Wenyue, has no foundation in the capital and no backing to gain power!"
"In this case, there must be someone with powerful eyes and hands secretly supporting them."
"Especially Ren Wenyue, he dared to embezzle even the money for repairing the imperial mausoleum. If someone didn't support him and give him the confidence to do whatever he wanted, just because he was transferred to the capital because of the title of the head of the country, he wouldn't have the courage to give him 10,000 yuan.
How dare you embezzle the money needed to repair the imperial mausoleum!"
"The strength of the person behind this is very important. If we don't take advantage of the victory and give him a chance to catch his breath, it will be difficult to find him out again."
"And the people behind the scenes dare to instruct the queen to bewitch His Majesty. If they want to control His Majesty in turn, they must have a big plan."
"Coupled with the millions of taels of money that Ren Wenyue embezzled, if the people behind the scenes have some evil intentions, there will definitely be another big turmoil."
"I believe it must be eradicated in one fell swoop, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
Li Ye nodded heavily: "According to what my uncle said, the Yamen of the Third Division have arrested all the people involved in the corruption case. Let's go immediately to interrogate this witch to find out who instigated her to dare to murder me.
We should even ask them about their intentions!"
"When I find out who is behind the scenes, I will definitely execute him Ling Chi. Only by cutting him into pieces can I vent the hatred in my heart."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Li Ye's pale and thin appearance, looked at his angry look, and thought for a long time but couldn't think of any words of advice.
The pain that Ren Qingrui and the people behind the scenes brought to Li Ye can only be resolved by death!
"This matter is regarded as half of your Majesty's family affairs, so it will naturally be left to your Majesty. I will naturally follow your Majesty's decision."
"Great, let's go to the imperial study room first, and we must pry open the witch's mouth no matter what!"
"Your Majesty, please!"
In the back hall of Qinzheng Hall, Liu Mingzhi pointed on Ren Qingrui's fair neck and opened the acupuncture points that controlled Ren Qingrui.
"Queen, those who know the current situation are heroes. I hope you can turn around and make peace in time. Don't be stubborn and make mistakes until the end!"
"As long as you reveal the person behind the scenes, I can still intercede with His Majesty and save you a chance of survival. If you go all the way to the dark side, even if I have compassion and kindness, I will not be able to protect your life."
"Your Majesty is still young, and your future life will be exciting. Since you have already lost, why should you sacrifice your life in vain?"
"I hope the empress will think twice. You only have time to go from the Qinzheng Palace to the Royal Study. If you miss this opportunity, you will never be able to look back."
Ren Qingrui gritted her teeth and stared closely at Young Master Liu's calm eyes.
"You will definitely regret it. In fact, you know everything, you just don't dare to admit it. What are you hesitating about?"
Liu Mingzhi's eyes narrowed and he squinted at Ren Qingrui's complicated phoenix eyes.
"It seems that the empress is planning to fight to the end. Anyway, in this case, I will treat my good intentions as a donkey's liver and lungs!"
"General Tong, escort him to the imperial study room!"
"yes!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the backs of Li Ye and the others who were rushing away first, and stared at Ren Qingrui's beautiful figure with a chuckle and shook his head.
"The chess pieces rolled to the ground, and it was hard to distinguish black and white, but they were still on the chessboard, and black and white were still clear!"
With a sigh, Liu Mingzhi straightened his clothes and followed him lightly.
Imperial study room in the harem.
Li Ye looked at Ren Qingrui, who was sitting softly on the ground, with red eyes: "Witch, who made you inject such evil things as worms into my body?"
"Since you entered the palace, I have made you my queen, doted on you in every possible way, and treated you well. Why did you collude with thieves to murder me?"
"Why? I've treated you badly!"
Ren Qingrui's meticulous black hair has been scattered, and there are whip marks on her palace clothes. She can vaguely see the exposed ice crystal snow skin and faint blood stains.
Hearing Li Ye's question, Ren Qingrui sneered, glanced at Mr. Liu who was sitting on the chair and sipping tea, and gave Li Ye a disdainful look.
"Hunjun, do you want to know who asked me to do this? Please, please, I will tell you with great mercy!"
"You...Tong Yang, bring me all the eighteen methods you use to interrogate prisoners. I want to see how tight this witch's mouth is!"
"According to the order!"
In the time it took for half a stick of incense to be used, a set of torture instruments was moved into the royal study by Tong Yang's imperial guards and placed in front of Ren Qingrui.
Tong Yang glanced at the furious Li Ye hesitantly.
"Your Majesty, are you really going to be punished?"
Li Ye looked at Ren Qingrui's mocking eyes staring at him fiercely: "If you use punishment, the demon girl will die because she can't bear the punishment. I won't punish you. No matter what, I have to find out the identity of the person behind the scenes.
!”
"Regardless of the people behind the scenes, I feel as if there is a lump in my throat and a light on my back."
"According to the order!"
He also gave the two Forbidden Soldiers a look, and the two Forbidden Soldiers nodded understandingly, dipped their clamping sticks in the salt water, took them out and walked towards Ren Qingrui's ten slender green-white jade fingers.
Liu Mingzhi put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Ren Qingrui who was motionless and not struggling.
"etc!"
The two Imperial Guards paused and looked at Master Liu subconsciously. Li Ye and Lao Zhou beside him also looked at Liu Mingzhi in surprise, wondering what he meant.
Liu Mingzhi stood up and walked towards Ren Qingrui, and slowly squatted in front of Ren Qingrui.
"Your Majesty is a tough guy, even tougher than an ordinary man. I admire you very much. Since conventional methods are useless to your Majesty, I plan to use some unconventional torture tools on your Majesty. I hope your Majesty can still resist without changing his expression.
"
Under Ren Qingrui's blank gaze, Liu Mingzhi stood up and looked at Li Ye.
"I dare to ask your majesty, do you know if your majesty still has affection for your mother-in-law?"
Li Ye nodded without hesitation and looked at Ren Qingrui with eyes filled with hatred: "I wish I could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin."
"This way, I will feel relieved!"
"General Tong!"
"The end is here!"
"Excuse me, General Tong, to find some cattle and sheep. I'm going to help you get some drugs for the brothel men and women to have fun."
"ah?"
"Ah, what, uncle tells you to go, just go!"
"I obey the decree!"
After Tong Yang left, Li Ye looked at Young Master Liu curiously: "Uncle, I wonder what you want those things for? Can these things also be used to interrogate prisoners?"
"Of course it's okay to report back to Your Majesty."
"As long as the medicine is given to the empress and a group of cattle and sheep, and they are locked in a room, Your Majesty can probably guess the rest. If it doesn't work for one day, it will be locked for two days, and if it doesn't work for two days, it will be locked for three days!
"
"That's why I asked Your Majesty if you still have affection for the Empress. Since Your Majesty hates the Empress so much, I think it's not a problem to punish the Demon Queen in this way."
After hearing Young Master Liu's flat-toned answer, everyone in the imperial study couldn't help but shudder. Even a rootless person like Lao Zhou couldn't help but swallow his saliva and looked at the plain-faced Liu with fear.
The young master seems to be looking at a devil!
As a client, Ren Qingrui's body trembled even more, and she kept shivering. Looking at Young Master Liu's expression that didn't look like a joke, she tremblingly raised her arm and pointed at Young Master Liu.
"You...you are not a human being, you are not a human being!"
Young Master Liu took a sip of tea and looked at Ren Qingrui, whose delicate body was trembling, with silent eyes.
"Your Majesty, I just said that those who know the current affairs are heroes."
"You still have a chance now, but once General Tong comes back it will be hard to say!"
Ren Qingrui immediately collapsed on the ground and looked at Young Master Liu in horror: "You are scaring me. I am the current queen. You dare not do this. You are scaring me!"
"Haha... Your Majesty is too conceited. Whether or not you are the current queen is not decided by you, but by His Majesty. Didn't your Majesty hear the news from the Zongren Mansion when she was at the back of the Qinzheng Hall?
, has the Yushitai already begun the matter of abolishing the queen?"
"You are just a prisoner now."
"Prisoners must have the consciousness of prisoners!"
"As I said before, there is still a glimmer of hope. If you don't tell me, don't blame me for being despicable!"
Looking at Liu Mingzhi's serious look, Ren Qingrui had the illusion that Liu Mingzhi really dared to do this, so she asked herself.
"I...I...I say...I say, I say!"
Liu Mingzhi smiled faintly, gave Lao Zhou a look, and signaled him to start recording a confession.
Lao Zhou nodded clearly, picked up an ordinary pen and dipped it in ink, waiting for Ren Qingrui to speak.
"I... I only want to tell you what I want to say, but you must ensure that my life is safe, otherwise I will bite my tongue and commit suicide without revealing a single word!"
Liu Mingzhi frowned, looking at Ren Qingrui's decisive eyes, he couldn't help but look at Li Ye.
Li Ye clutched the teacup in his hand tightly, hesitated for a while and nodded helplessly.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Ren Qingrui quietly and nodded slightly: "I can guarantee it."
Ren Qingrui looked at Liu Mingzhi resentfully: "No, you swear, swear by the ancestors of your Liu family, otherwise I won't believe you."
Liu Mingzhi's fists clenched and he nodded helplessly: "I swear, if I touch a hair on your head, the spirits of the ancestors of the Liu family will not be able to rest in peace in heaven!"
Looking at Ren Qingrui's relaxed and charming eyes, Liu Mingzhi closed his eyes silently.
If I don't move, if others do, it has nothing to do with me.
Ren Qingrui thought for a while, struggled to stand up, and walked slowly towards Liu Mingzhi.
"Come here with your ears!"
Liu Mingzhi hesitated for a moment, then slowly moved towards Ren Qingrui. Suddenly, a faint fragrance of a woman's body entered Liu Mingzhi's nostrils, making him feel refreshed.
"You must ensure that my life is safe!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Ren Qingrui but still didn't believe him, and nodded slightly with his beautiful eyes with a hint of suspicion: "I promise!"
Ren Qingrui slowly moved closer to Liu Mingzhi's ear, not caring that half of her body was leaning into Liu Mingzhi's arms.
"The person who instigated me to bewitch Hun Jun is... Gudu..."
Halfway through Ren Qingrui's words, the sound of swallowing was heard. Liu Mingzhi felt a bad feeling in his heart and immediately straightened up and looked towards Ren Qingrui.
Ren Qingrui's flawless white jade hand was slowly lowered from her lips, and a palm-sized piece of paper fell from her palm.
"Hunjun, I have already informed King Bingjian of the person behind the scenes. You go and check...check...uh huh...check!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Ren Qingrui who slowly collapsed at his feet with black blood on Wangying's lips and hurriedly squatted down, staring at Ren Qingrui fiercely.
"why why?"
After reacting, Lao Zhou hurriedly jumped over, looked at Ren Qingrui, and immediately picked up the paper on the ground and sniffed it.
"Broken Heart Powder!"
Liu Mingzhi hurriedly looked at Lao Zhou: "Can I save him?"
Lao Zhou shook his head with complicated eyes, looked at Ren Qingrui on the ground and sighed.
"Although Duangchang Powder cannot kill you immediately, once you take it, it is almost impossible to save."
Ren Qingrui tugged at the hem of Liu Mingzhi's clothes with great difficulty, staring softly at Mr. Liu who was squatting next to him.
"No...don't...don't do it again...you can't afford it...
......Liu............Liu A......Liu Adou is in trouble!"
