Regarding His Highness the Crown Prince, both the emperor and the empress were very concerned about the results of the Xuanjing Division's interrogation, which also doubled the pressure on the director of the Xuanjing Division.
"No, no, no, ah, ah, ah..."
In the huge transparent glass fish tank, the huge piranha, which is about three meters long and weighs almost fifty kilograms, has been hungry for a long time.
The little eunuch was hung above the fish tank and screamed heartbreakingly: "Don't... don't throw me down!"
"Bang!"
The rope hanging him was connected to a somewhat mechanical arm. The person next to him pulled down the handle on the wall. The mechanical arm made a loud noise and his body fell suddenly.
"Wow!"
The piranha jumped and opened its mouth ferociously. Every time it jumped, it was just a little bit short of biting his ankle and tearing him apart.
Although it was still a little short, when the little eunuch lowered his head and struggled, he always saw the piranha's bloody mouth and the dark throat, as if he was about to be buried in the fish's belly the next moment.
This caused great pressure and damage to his psychology.
A slim figure walked out of the darkness. Jiang Xinyue knocked on the glass of the fish tank. The piranha swam angrily in the tank, forming a strange scene with the beautiful woman.
"Who asked you to change the prince's food? Why don't you tell me?"
The little eunuch trembled: "Slave... I really don't know what the Queen is talking about. It wasn't my slave who did it."
"You didn't do it. Why did you want to kill Xiao Xiangzi?"
"My servant didn't. I thought he was an arsonist, so I just wanted to catch him."
"This explanation is quite reasonable."
Jiang Xinyue sneered: "But I don't believe it."
She raised her chin, and Magpie pulled it down hard with both hands. A large section of the wooden arm fell down, which made all the mirror officers' jaws drop in shock.
The mechanical arm weighed a full two hundred kilograms, and it usually required three guards to work together to break it open. However, a girl called Magpie pulled it down effortlessly.
Magpie: It's not without effort. Normally she can do it with one hand. Today it took two hands to pull it off.
"Wow!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah……"
This time, the piranha bit the eunuch's toes. The huge tearing and biting force caused his toes to be separated from the soles of his feet in an instant.
The severe pain made him miserable and his body was shaking terribly.
However, just when everyone thought that the young eunuch was about to confess, Jiang Xinyue said: "Let him down."
Although everyone in the Xuanjing Division was puzzled as to why the person was put down, no one dared to disobey the scheming Queen. They quickly moved the fish tank away and sealed the surrounding area with iron fences that could be opened and closed.
The piranha, which had already tasted the smell of blood, became even more violent and ran rampant in the bathtub, but it was blocked by a black iron fence. No matter how furious it was, it could not break through the restraint.
The little eunuch thought he had escaped, but as soon as he was put down, before he could take a breath, he heard the empress' cold voice say: "Hang him up again."
What?
The people in the Xuanjing Department thought they had heard wrongly, but when they saw Jiang Xinyue's cold eyes, they all honestly lifted the little eunuch up and tied him to the mechanical arm.
"No, no, no! I don't want...I don't want to go up..."
However, it was not his turn to refuse. After the mechanism arm slowly rose, the fish tank was pushed under the little eunuch.
The iron fence was opened again, and the pale little eunuch above was bleeding from his toes. The piranha opened its mouth wide and pointed at the little eunuch, as if it could swallow the person whole as long as the mechanical arm fell down.
Jiang Xinyue winked at Magpie, who smiled evilly.
That smile made all the guards of the Xuanjing Division shiver.
This time, the wooden arm of the mechanism did not land quickly, but little by little...
It was like ten thousand ants crawling on his body. The sweat on the little eunuch's chin flowed down his throat and into his clothes. His face was as blue and white as a water ghost.
The piranha swung its tail leisurely and made a "gentle" splashing sound.
"Click, click, click..."
The mechanical sounds intertwined with the rippling sounds, torturing the little eunuch's mind, which was already on the verge of collapse.
People who have died once and been rescued, especially those who did not want to die in the first place, cannot face death again.
"Mr. Cheng! It's Mr. Cheng! This servant was placed by Mr. Cheng in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This servant... is Mr. Cheng's person."
The little eunuch cried: "Xiao Shunzi was killed by a slave. The slave deliberately made noise the night before to make him sleepless. The next day he was mentally unstable. The slave lit his clothes on fire again and overthrew him without him noticing. On the oil drum, he also deliberately created the illusion that he accidentally pushed over the oil drum and started a fire. The open flame on his clothes ignited the oil drum, and I ran out to shout for the fire..."
But the fire burned quickly, and Xiao Shunzi was burned to death in a daze.
If Xiao Xiangzi and Jiang Chuan hadn't come together, Xiao Shunzi would have become the scapegoat who swapped walnut oil and committed suicide out of fear of guilt.
He was also quite clever, but unfortunately the person he met was Jiang Xinyue, a master who could predict their predictions.
"Only Cheng Guiren?"
Cheng Guiren's father did not have high authority and was demoted. It was obviously not something that one person could do by instructing people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to replace all the walnut oil.
He must have accomplices.
This accomplice may not necessarily be a member of Guiren Cheng, but may also be someone who uses Guiren Cheng to harm Xiaotuanzi.
"If the Queen doesn't believe it, you can go and have a look. Cheng Guiren has disappeared."
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find Cheng Guiren, he was really afraid of not being able to make up his mind, so he wouldn't have taken such a desperate risk and burned down the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Soon someone from the Xuanjing Division went to investigate, and soon came back to report: "Go back to the Queen, Guiren Cheng is indeed missing."
And because yesterday was the first anniversary banquet of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there was not only the grand scene of the Queen and the Crown Prince, but also the arrest of Zhou who attracted much attention.
Many eunuchs and maids from various palaces sneaked in to watch the fun.
Although the palace regulations clearly do not allow it, privately it is a happy event and no one will say anything if they join in the fun.
Therefore, no one saw where Cheng Guiren went.
Where could she go?
"Let me go check it out. I want to see the person alive, and the body after death."
Why did the Queen say, "You must see your corpse before you die"?
Could it be that Cheng Guiren is dead?
The director of the Xuanjing Department thought of more than ten plots in an instant, and the most reliable one was that Cheng Guiren was killed and silenced.
The Queen is really clever and can guess everything.
This sentence reminds Xuanjing Si that Cheng Guiren is just a pawn, and there is someone else behind her.
"Wow!"
Huge water splashed out from the fish tank. The piranha had not waited for its food for too long and was impatient.
