Aunt Wen seems reasonable, but in fact she has hidden thoughts.
In Wei Shiyuan's eyes, she always thought about the couple.
The second lady is suffering and cannot tell.
Wei Laner put the tea cup in his hand heavily on the table and sighed: "The main wife still needs to use the concubine's hand to give gifts to her mother's family. How can everyone know about such a shameful thing? Okay? Our family is considerate of the second aunt, so we pretend not to know, just keep silent and let the matter pass."
"That's what I say, but there's no guarantee that the news won't be leaked. I don't know how much ridicule the Second Madam will suffer by then! Moreover, the Lin family doesn't know about this. If there is anyone who doesn't care, in front of the Second Madam Mention this matter..."
Li Qingyi reminded him intentionally or unintentionally.
"Especially the second wife of the Lin family. Lin Yi is useless. He probably hates the second wife and his daughter. If they find out about this, they will come and laugh at her!"
When Wei Laner heard this, he rolled up his handkerchief and his voice became lighter, "That's right!"
*****
The next day, Li Qingyi followed Princess Yuanheng to Qin Zeng's mansion to express his gratitude. However, they were female relatives and had nothing to say to a eunuch, so Wei Shicheng went with him as a matter of course.
Li Qingyi had to suspect that Wei Shicheng wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Qin Zeng and increase his camaraderie with colleagues.
However, Qin Zeng may not have this idea. When he heard that they were coming to visit, he didn't even show his face, and only asked his attendant Changze to come and respond.
"Princess, Lord Wei, the Lord Admiral is currently attending to official business, so I am afraid it will be inconvenient to see you. I appreciate my gratitude to the Lord Admiral. Please take the gift back."
A second-rank official in the imperial court wanted to see a eunuch but couldn't. People might not believe him if he told him.
But this is actually the case.
Dongchang is under the jurisdiction of the emperor alone. The factory guards are called court hawks. They are all-pervasive and can supervise and arrest subjects at will without the approval of judicial authorities. No one has the right to interfere with their behavior.
Officials at all levels were frightened by the people in Dongchang, so how could they dare to show Qin Zeng's face?
Therefore, Qin Zeng does not need to give face to anyone except the emperor.
Wei Shicheng said with a smile: "Since Mr. Qin is busy with something, Wei will not delay any more."
"Master Wei, wait a minute." Nagaze glanced at Li Qingyi and said, "The admiral has something to ask Miss Li, but he is still busy at the moment. I am afraid that Miss Li will have to wait a little longer and finish asking later. If you say so, your Excellency will definitely send Miss Li back to your house safely."
Wei Shicheng and Princess Yuanheng looked at each other and then looked at Li Qingyi.
This was to leave her alone to talk.
Li Qingyi cursed in his heart. He didn't know what he was planning, so he said on his face: "Mother, Qingyi will stay a little longer. You can go back with Mr. Wei first."
Princess Yuanheng didn't know what secrets Li Qingyi had with Qin Zeng, and they kept secretly communicating with each other. However, Li Qingyi had a friendship with Qin Zeng, and it was only good for her and had no harm. Naturally, she would not stop him, especially for Wei Shicheng. That’s it.
Moreover, Qin Zeng was a eunuch, so he was not afraid of any rumors from outside.
So the two of them left the Qin Mansion with a few words of warning, leaving Li Qingyi waiting here alone.
Nagasawa said with a smile: "Miss Li, please."
Li Qingyi followed Nagaze all the way, looking at the mansion where he had lived for five years in a happy mood.
Everything feels so familiar.
All her memories with Qin Zeng are here.
However, Nagasawa took her through the study, passed the flower hall, and even passed the courtyard where the two had prepared the wedding room, but Nagasawa continued to move forward.
"I said, you adults are not torturing felons, please invite me to visit?"
Nagasawa was stunned, "How does the girl know?"
The corners of Li Qingyi's mouth twitched, "Haha, are you really sure what I said?"
In addition to the flower hall, study and bedroom, the place where Qin Zeng went most often was the torture chamber. Torturing prisoners was a daily practice. However, in his previous life, Li Qingyi once protested and asked him not to torture prisoners at home, lest she would hear screams from time to time. The sound is strange and penetrating.
Later, Qin Zeng changed the place where he was tortured.
When they arrived at the door of the execution chamber, Nagaze went in to report, and soon came out and told Li Qingyi to go in.
Li Qingyi couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard the yelling sounds inside.
Nagasawa touched his nose and thought that Miss Li was really brave.
Instead of shaking his legs and feet in fear, he actually rolled his eyes!
Li Qingyi walked in without changing his expression.
Qin Zeng was sitting on a chair, watching his men put an unkempt man on the tiger bench.
The torture method of the Tiger Bench will not torture the criminal to death, and allows the perpetrator to control the intensity. Many people often use the tiger bench before the stool is hot.
This made every yamen love it so much that everyone who had used it spoke highly of it, and colleagues in the industry recommended it to each other. As a result, the Tiger Stool quickly became famous and widely used, and it also spawned several versions.
However, the prisoner in front of him was particularly tolerant. The three bricks under the tiger bench seemed to have no effect on him. Li Qingyi suggested: "I think this man's muscles and bones seem to be softer than ordinary people. It would be better to add two more bricks to his back." Two more wooden poles need to be added to secure his spine so that he does not have too much room for movement."
Nagasawa's cheeks twitched when he heard this.
In order to test the pain of the tiger bench, he once experienced it briefly.
At first, there was only one brick under my feet, and my ankles were a little sore. Later, three more bricks were added. My ankles tightened so hard that they cramped whenever I moved. Finally, it became difficult to breathe, and I lost all feeling in my legs. After burning the incense, he just wanted to saw off his legs...
However, Qin Zeng nodded in agreement after hearing this, "Add two more bricks."
After hearing this, Nagasawa silently went to add bricks.
Li Qingyi asked: "Master Qin came to me, what do you want to ask?"
Qin Zeng raised his thin eyelids and glanced at her.
In fact, he didn't have anything to do with her. He just saw her coming to his door, so he asked her to come over and watch the prisoners being tortured, as a deterrent, so that she would not roll her eyes or scold herself in her heart every time she saw him, which would make her very uncomfortable. There is no majesty.
Who knew that this girl was not afraid at all.
Qin Zeng pursed his lips: "Well, I saw that you are very good at manipulating people, so I asked you to come over and help me interrogate this prisoner."
A way to manipulate people?
Li Qingyi raised his eyebrows.
This was probably the conclusion Qin Zeng came to after Changning Changlan reported what she did in the Wei family.
"Master Qin, don't you think I'm vicious?"
Qin Zeng said calmly: "I don't like weak people. It is a virtue to retaliate when you have enmity."
Li Qingyi curled his lips proudly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Qin."
When Qin Zeng heard this, the corners of his indifferent mouth turned up slightly, seeming to be a little happy, "So, do you have any advice on interrogating this prisoner?"
Li Qingyi glanced at the prisoner.
At this time, the man was sitting with his back straight, his legs stretched out and together, and five bricks were placed on his ankles. He was tied up and unable to move, so that his hamstrings were pulled hard. His face was full of pain and he could not even speak. Out.
Li Qingyi said: "When I was learning dance when I was young, the most painful thing was stretching. In fact, it was similar to the tiger bench, but I was still young at that time and my muscles and bones were easy to shape. He is so old and a man, so he has to do it." Otherwise, let him try to do a crosswise split?"
Qin Zeng raised his eyebrows and told Nagaze, "Go."
Nagasawa looked at Li Qingyi as if he had seen a ghost, and called Changrong to join him in doing the cross for the prisoner.
The prisoner who had just gritted his teeth and endured it suddenly trembled, his buttocks almost bounced up, and he let out a horrifying roar that shook Nagasawa Changrong's ears.
Li Qingyi stepped forward to take a look.
At this moment, she was like a devil in the eyes of the prisoner. When he saw her coming, he bared his teeth at her.
Li Qingyi snorted coldly, "It's not enough."
Nagasawa Changrong immediately stepped up his efforts after hearing this.
Just listen to a "stab" sound...
The prisoner's crotch was torn...
Li Qingyi was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, his eyes were covered.
