Uncle Zhou left early the next morning, and also took away all the secret guards of the second prince.
Qiao Zhongguo knew that the second prince asked all the secret guards to escort Uncle Zhou away because he was worried that he would kill Uncle Zhou.
Qiao Zhongguo did have this plan, and he sent Qiao Diyi out yesterday.
However, this ambush can only be done by personnel.
When the entire wedding convoy and even the Qiao family were poisoned, Qiao Zhongguo thought about it afterwards and guessed that the second prince had arranged people at every inn!
From this point of view, the second prince has a lot of manpower at his disposal, and I am afraid that people will be deployed to protect Uncle Zhou along the way.
But he couldn't send all the people out. After all, what if the second prince wanted to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but actually wanted to flee to the North?
Qiao Zhongguo scratched his head in distress.
Dealing with the second prince is such a headache. You have to watch ten steps before taking every step. It’s impossible to guard against him!
————
The Imperial Palace in Beijing.
Huang Pei asked all the palaces non-stop yesterday, but found nothing.
When he went back to report, the Holy Spirit lost his temper.
It was not early in the morning and he had to continue.
At this time, he stood at the door of Chonghua Palace.
After the second prince left the capital, all matters concerning Chonghua Palace were handed over to Liu Yun.
Liuyun is a man who can handle things. He has been keeping Chonghua Palace in order these days.
This time there were rumors about the third prince in the palace. Liu Yun was sure that it was not the second prince's handiwork, so he had no intention of panic when he heard about Huang Pei's arrival.
She had already made inquiries at all levels last night, but the people in Chonghua Palace did not know about this matter. I guess Huang Pei was just here for a formality.
Huang Pei walked into Chonghua Palace, but he began to feel uneasy.
It’s coming, it’s definitely coming!
I don’t know who His Highness the Crown Prince has arranged for, and what kind of rhetoric he has prepared, but please do consider his overwhelmed old heart!
Liuyun called all the eunuchs and maids in Chonghua Palace. She first accepted Huang Pei's questioning without any problems.
Huang Pei nodded and walked to the eunuchs and maids.
"Have you heard what happened yesterday? If you have any clues, please report them quickly. Our family will be rich in rewards!"
"If you conceal it and fail to report it, and our family finds out, it will be a serious crime against the Nine Clan!"
Huang Pei said softly, but his eyes were extremely sharp as he glanced at the palace people.
Liuyun stood aside with a calm expression.
At this time, among the eunuchs who had their heads lowered, a young face suddenly raised his head furtively, but then looked away in panic as if he was frightened.
When Liu Yun saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat.
what happened? Which servant is that?
All the people in the Chonghua Palace have been screened at all levels, and she personally checks them. The first thing is that their backgrounds are clean, and there should be no problems!
Eunuch Huang noticed something strange with sharp eyes, and a big stone fell from his heart.
finally come!
"You! Come out!"
Eunuch Huang raised his finger and pointed at the young eunuch.
After hearing this, everyone looked up and moved out of the way, quickly isolating the little eunuch.
The little eunuch looked up and was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged repeatedly: "Eunuch Huang! I don't know! I don't know anything!"
This sentence means that there are three hundred taels of silver in this place.
When Liu Yun saw this, his expression completely changed.
Although she didn't understand why such a flaw happened, she had a clear understanding in her heart at this moment. This time... I'm afraid it was for His Highness!
Huang Pei's face darkened, full of majesty.
"Do you know it's not you who has the final say? Come and take me away!"
Liu Yun hurriedly stepped forward to greet her. She was about to say something, but Huang Pei raised his eyes to stop her.
"Miss Liuyun, our family is working for the Holy Lord. Before the results come out, we should say less and make less mistakes."
Liuyun's footsteps suddenly stopped, his face looked a little ugly, but he calmed down in an instant.
Yes, now is not the time to quarrel with Huang Pei, the top priority is to summon His Highness as soon as possible!
Huang Pei ignored the young eunuch's cries of injustice and took him directly to the prison and tied him in the interrogation room.
"What is your name?"
Huang Pei sat on a chair and asked calmly.
The little eunuch had already burst into tears and sobbed as he replied: "Liufuzi, my slave's nickname is Liufuzi."
"If you know anything, tell me so that our family won't be tortured. If you have merit, you may be able to reach heaven in one step today."
Huang Pei straightened his sleeves and said calmly.
Liu Fuzi just shook his head, "Eunuch Huang, I really don't know. I just admired your name, and then I looked up."
"Eunuch Huang, please let me go back..."
Huang Pei's eyes flashed when he heard this.
As expected of the person arranged by His Highness the Crown Prince. Although he is young, he is still impeccable.
If this Liufuzi opened his mouth easily and His Highness was involved in the matter, there would inevitably be suspicions of frame-up and fraud.
This is to leave some wounds on the body, so that it will appear real in front of the Holy Master...
In this case, he, Huang Pei, should "be a good person and do it to the end"!
"Hehe, if you don't eat the toast, you'll have to drink the wine as a penalty. Then we'll have to see if it's your tough words or the harsh punishments of this prison!"
"Come here, be punished!"
As soon as Huang Pei finished his cold words, a guard came forward holding a whip covered with barbs.
When Liu Fuzi saw the three-finger-thick whip, he turned pale with fright and shouted for mercy:
"Eunuch Huang, please spare your life! I didn't lie! I really don't know anything!"
Huang Pei pretended not to listen and raised his chin slightly, "Hit him until he says so!"
"yes!"
The guard swung his arms and then whipped his whip fiercely.
Snapped!
The sound echoed in the interrogation room, and along with the severe pain of tearing flesh and blood, Liu Fuzi screamed.
"ah!!!"
Bang bang bang——
Three consecutive whiplashes made Liufuzi open his mouth wide, but the pain was so painful that he could no longer make a sound.
His body was instantly covered in blood and flesh, and when the last whip fell, the end of the whip swept across his young face, tearing off a piece of skin instantly.
Liufuzi's lips trembled, and tears rolled onto the wound, which was painful.
He clenched his hands tightly and counted silently in his mind: "Three, two, one..."
When the seventh whip was taken away, he seemed to have been defeated and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"My slave said it! My slave said it!"
"Eunuch Huang, stop fighting, I will say anything!"
Eunuch Huang raised his right hand, and the execution guard immediately stepped aside.
Eunuch Huang stood up slowly. He walked forward and looked at the dying little eunuch who was tied to the shelf and dripping with blood. There was a rare hint of appreciation in his eyes.
Too much is not enough, this guy has just the right amount of control.
If what he wanted to expose was the life experience of His Highness the Second, not telling him just now could be regarded as self-protection. After all, such a secret would most likely be silenced once it was revealed.
But now the torture is getting worse, and if you don't say anything, you will be beaten to death.
The Second Highness did not know and did not threaten him. His act of preferring death to surrender seemed false.
Tsk tsk tsk, I don’t know where His Highness the Prince found this wonderful person.
"He who knows the current affairs is a wise man. Look at you, you have to be beaten before you speak."
"Say it, our family is listening."
Huang Pei spoke calmly, but his heart was already lifted up!
