Chapter 35 The truth

In the Absolute Beginning Heaven Prison, all those who were related to the poisoning of the Emperor were imprisoned. Originally, their identities were not qualified to enter the Heaven Prison, but this matter was of great importance. They made an exception and sent all these people to the Heaven Prison. I don't know if it was their honor or sadness..

Feng Jie, the prison officer of the Heaven Prison, had a very elegant temperament. His thin face was full of scholarly air, which was incompatible with the other five or three thick prison guards. However, the prison guards were very respectful of the gentle prison officer and obeyed him..

Feng Jie personally interrogated the people involved in the case. The crime of killing the king was very widespread. The elders of the Ministry of Justice avoided it too much. If possible, they were unwilling to come forward. The two His Highnesses did not appoint a chief official. As the leader of the Heaven Prison, Feng Jie could not refuse. He could only accept this dangerous task helplessly..

Feng Jie's face was cold as he issued orders one after another. The jailers carefully completed the orders. Everyone was walking on thin ice, completely different from how arrogant and domineering they were to prisoners..

Even if they have no ink on their chests, they know that this matter is not a fault, and a slight mistake will lead to eternal damnation..

In the Heaven Prison, flogging and caning were skipped directly. Cruel methods such as tiger stool, iron, hanging and waterboarding were continuously used on the imperial physicians, palace maids, eunuchs and medicinal herb merchants involved. Mourning cries rose and fell in the Heaven Prison, as if they were in purgatory on earth..

Feng Jie calmly looked at the person being tortured like this. There was an indescribable emotion between his eyebrows..

At this moment, a young eunuch who had been scalded by a soldering iron suddenly burst into tears and wailed,"I can't take it anymore. I said, I know something.

A strange expression appeared on Feng Jie's face, not the expression that should be seen after the interrogation finally had some results, but more like something that had been expected to happen..

This expression flashed for a moment and then returned to normal in the next moment. Feng Jie walked to the young eunuch with a cold face and said sternly," Tell me! What do you know?!"" Your Excellency, I said…I said now…Spare me…I saw Ju 'er put some white powder in the soup he brought to His Majesty!" The young eunuch's voice trembled extremely, and tears flowed down his face. He was already on the verge of collapse..

" Humph, why didn't you tell me earlier? Now you're telling me what you want! Give me a severe punishment!" Feng Jie snorted coldly. His face became even darker, and his voice was filled with terrifying killing intent..

"Lord, spare me, don't torture me. I'll tell you everything..

"The relationship between slaves and chrysanthemum children is different, it is a relationship between eating and eating.".

The people present had strange expressions and knew a little about the secrets of the palace, but it was the first time they heard the parties talk about it..

Eunuchs and palace maids married privately to relieve loneliness. It was quite common in the palace, and some of the little tricks were almost well known..

" Continue!" Feng Jie looked disgusted. Obviously, he was not interested in the dirty things in the palace..

"Because of this connection, although I was a little confused when I saw this, I was selfish and did not want to expose her. I thought I could get away with it.

"Who knew that the punishment would be so painful? I really couldn't bear it. I'm just a woman. I'm not a real man anyway. What kind of hero is this?".

"I have told you everything I know. This matter really has nothing to do with me. Please observe clearly. Please spare my life..

"The little eunuch was extremely humble in fear, and at this time he was still tied up by five flowers, otherwise he would have kept kneeling and kowtowing.".

" Bring Ju 'er here!" Feng Jie ignored the young eunuch and ordered his subordinates to escort Ju' er. The jailer took the order and left. A moment later, a woman covered in blood was brought over. The palace clothes on her body were tattered and her original appearance could not be seen at all..

At this moment, Ju 'er had fainted. As a personal maid of the emperor, she had ended up in such a state..

A basin of cold water splashed on Ju 'er's face, Ju' er gradually woke up, some confused looking at the person in front of her, the sharp pain on her body quickly pulled her back to reality.

" How dare you, Ju 'er! Someone exposed you for pouring unknown powder into His Majesty's medicinal soup. If there is such a thing, report it truthfully!" Feng Jie shouted sternly..

"This servant has been wronged. Please be careful..

The child was nervous, but refused to admit it..

" Do you recognize the person behind us?" Feng Jie gestured for the jailer to carry Ju 'er backward. Ju' er turned around and saw the young eunuch on the rack. She almost cried out in alarm, but she quickly gritted her teeth and said nothing..

"Looks like you won't say anything. Excellent. Someone, prepare a tiger leopard for her. I'll see how long she can endure it..

"Feng Jie gave an order with a sneer..

It can be seen that Ju 'er knows this punishment, and his eyes are full of fear..

:.

Soon Ju 'er was stripped of all her clothes by the jailer and put into a sack. When she saw the wild cat and mouse that the burly jailer had found, her whole body trembled violently, and her face was full of struggle..

"Don't let go, I'll confess..

At this time, Ju 'er had already shed tears, gave up struggling, and whimpered..

"This servant put the powder into Your Majesty's medicinal soup, but this servant did not know it was poison..

"Heaven Prison is an important place. Do you think we are three-year-old children so easy to fool? Is it not poison or tonic?" Feng Jie slapped Ju 'er's face and said angrily..

"It doesn't matter whether you know or not. Tell me! Who ordered you to do this?""Yes…Yes…Second Hall…" Ju 'er hadn't said anything when an arrow pierced his neck and killed him in one blow..

Three arrows were fired at the eunuch, who died while he was still worried about his life..

" Assassins! Attack!" Feng Jie's lips curved up imperceptibly, and he commanded the jailer to attack the arrow..

There were six assassins hiding in the dark. The jailers were not weak, but compared to the assassins, they were obviously not worth mentioning. Several of them were killed instantly..

Feng Jie's expression remained calm when he saw his subordinate killed..

" Heaven Prison Guards, listen up! Kill the assassin!" Feng Jie shouted loudly..

Four figures flew over from nowhere. They didn't waste time and attacked the six assassins. All four of them had advanced cultivation. Soon, they killed all six assassins..

After this battle, besides Ju 'er and the young eunuch who were killed, another person was found to have bitten his tongue and committed suicide on the torture rack. It was Sun Peizhi, the chief imperial physician..

Ju 'er's unfinished confession made it easier to investigate. Two of the six assassins were confirmed to be guests under the Second Prince. All kinds of evidence pointed to Li Zhongkun, the mastermind behind the emperor's death..

Hundreds of soldiers surrounded Dingkun Palace, where the Second Prince lived. The First Prince Li Boqian stood outside Dingkun Palace with a solemn expression..

"Before my brother admits it himself, we can't make a final decision on this matter. Don't act rashly, wait for this prince to personally ask..

Li Zhongqian's tone was sad and unbelievable..

" Your Highness, you can't. If this regicide is really done by Second Highness, it's dangerous for Your Highness to go!" The Imperial Army commander led his generals to stop him..

"Don't talk nonsense. I believe my brother won't hurt me..

After repeated remonstrance by the generals of the imperial army, Li Boqian had to bring four trusted experts with him..

After one incense stick, there was a noise in Dingkun Palace..

The commander of the Imperial Army immediately ordered the invasion of Dingkun Palace..

The First Prince retreated in the direction of the courtyard gate with his injured arm. Only three of the four trusted experts were left, followed closely by several aggressive Second Prince's guest ministers..

Seeing the Imperial Army rushing over, the First Prince shouted," The Second Prince has killed the Emperor and even tried to assassinate me today. Imperial Army, listen up! Everyone in Dingkun Palace is a traitor! Kill without mercy!" The guests in the courtyard were quickly killed. When the Imperial Army soldiers rushed into Dingkun Palace, they encountered very little resistance. The Second Prince Li Zhongkun was already dead. Seeing this, the soldiers no longer had any scruples. Dingkun Palace was quickly slaughtered..
