Seeing that King Cheng could hardly maintain the expression on his face and all the blood drained from his body, Xiao Yan changed his tone.
"In order to seize the throne, you coaxed girls from the Rong family into getting married. You wanted to take advantage of the power of the Rong family, but you were reluctant to give up the power of the family."
"You secretly made peace with the Lu family and coaxed them into giving birth to a child of Rong's blood. You originally wanted to use this to manipulate the Lu family and use the Lu family's blood to inherit the Rong family and the throne to negotiate terms with the Lu family, but you didn't want to speak before you had time to speak. , the Lu family has already chosen His Majesty."
King Cheng was stunned for a moment. He thought... thought Xiao Yan knew everything.
turn out to be……
He didn't know how to talk about the Lu family's affairs so that he could hide it from the people in front of him, but he didn't expect that he would think wrong first.
King Cheng was secretly delighted, but he didn't dare to show any signs of surprise. He just pretended that the secret was known and his face changed drastically.
"how do you know?!"
As if he blurted it out, regret appeared on his face, as if he regretted that he had exposed his flaw.
Xiao Yan said coldly: "So the governor guessed it correctly? Who is Xie Yin's biological mother?"
King Cheng gritted his teeth: "You don't want to know!"
Xiao Yan sneered: "You think this inspector can't investigate? Lu Chongyuan wholeheartedly supports the fourth prince, the royal family's orthodoxy, and will never let you become powerful. That person uses the Lu family connections to help you. I'm afraid he can't hide it from the Lu family and the queen. I just want to If you ask the Queen, you will naturally know who the person you are hooking up with is."
King Cheng felt that he was playing into his own hands, but he glared at him as if he was angered: "Xiao Yan, I have told you everything you want to know. Why do you insist on killing everyone? You can't go to the queen. I Wang can help you testify against Hou Rui and others..."
"No need, the governor is more interested in the Lu family now."
Xiao Yan saw that King Cheng couldn't hide his secret joy when he heard that he was going to find the queen. He turned to Cang Lang and said, "Use the unused punishment just now and save a breath."
"Xiao Yan!!"
If Prince Cheng was just pretending just now, he was really angry now: "You clearly said that I will not be punished if I confess..."
"When did the Governor say that?"
"You just..."
"What just?"
Xiao Yanwei tilted his head and looked at Prince Cheng, who had his mouth wide open, with an indifferent expression: "I just casually told the prince about the severe punishment in prison and let you know the methods of the punishment department. Did he ever promise you anything?"
King Cheng turned pale and suddenly remembered that Xiao Yan had never promised him from the beginning to the end. After he confessed, he would no longer use torture.
Xiao Yan looked at him and said: "When you enter the Criminal Division, you will naturally have to follow the procedures of the Criminal Division. If the prince is allowed to come in and exit vertically, people outside will laugh at me, and the prince has deceived countless people. You shouldn't be so stupid, how could you easily believe the governor's jokes?"
"Xiao Yan, you eunuch, you are shameless!!!"
King Cheng hissed in excitement and struggled to pounce, but Cang Lang pushed him back onto the shelf.
"Torture him."
After Xiao Yan finished speaking indifferently, he turned around and walked out.
"Xiao Yan, you bitch, you dare to tease me, you are simply despicable and shameless!"
"You are a shameless castrated dog. No wonder you have cut off your descendants. If you dare to do this to me today, you will definitely die a bad death in the future..."
Behind him, King Cheng was angrily cursing, and kept swearing in his mouth. When Cang Lang saw this, he struck directly with cold eyes. After a moment, the original scolding was replaced by a shrill scream.
Xiao Yan's expression remained unchanged and he just said to the person guarding the door: "Go and call the girl over."
After the man left in response, Tang Ning followed him not long after.
The girl stopped some distance away from him and called out "Brother" in a low voice.
Xiao Yan didn't notice the hesitation in her eyes and just motioned for her to wait a moment.
The screams inside the door became louder and louder, from the initial shrillness to the later gradually weakening. The smell of blood that was isolated by the door but could not stop it was terrifying.
It was the first time that Tang Ning saw torture "with her own eyes". Although it was separated by a door, the shadow of the lamp inside stretched the screaming figure onto the window sash.
Xiao Yan suddenly walked up to her, took out a sachet from his sleeve and handed it to her.
Tangning subconsciously wanted to retreat but stopped: "This is..."
"The medicine bag can remove blood qi, clear the mind and calm the mind." Xiao Yan put it in her hand: "If you feel uncomfortable, just smell it."
Tang Ning looked at the exquisite sachet in his hand with some confusion. It was embroidered with complicated patterns, and gold and silver threads passed through it to outline the appearance of begonia flowers. The faint fragrance of herbs covered the pungent blood, and vaguely blocked the The tall figure in front of her just blocked the shadow reflected on the window.
Xiao Yan was used to human life and would not be afraid of flesh and blood, and he would not use something that looked like a woman at first sight.
Tang Ning pursed her lips lightly, and the feet she originally wanted to move away were rooted to the spot, and the alienation she had just felt in her heart suddenly became unsustainable.
"What's wrong?"
"without."
Tang Ning put the sachet between her nose and covered her face.
After a while, the closed door was pushed open. When Canglang carried King Cheng out, his legs were hanging on the ground as if they had no bones, leaving a long mark, and his hands were dripping with blood, and ten of them were The fingers were gone.
After he was dragged back to the prison, blood flowed all the way on the ground. After he was thrown into the prison, his whole body fell to the ground with a "bang".
"Do you want me to go?" Xiao Yan asked.
Tangning shook his head: "I'll go."
She took the very delicate brocade box that Xiao Yan handed her, crossed the cell door and walked to King Cheng.
King Cheng trembled subconsciously when he heard the sound of footsteps.
"Uncle, I'm here to see you on behalf of my aunt." Tang Ning squatted next to King Cheng, met his frightened eyes, placed the box in his hand flatly beside him, and said warmly: "What do you think? We will keep your aunt's gift in mind, and I will also give you a generous gift for my aunt."
The box fell within his reach. After Tang Ning opened the lid, he stood up and left.
King Cheng, who was originally wary of her taking action, watched her go out with some surprise. After hearing the cell door slam shut, he was the only one left in the dark prison.
The surroundings were extremely dark, with only the faint light from the corridor outside the iron gate leaking in.
King Cheng collapsed on the ground and gasped for breath. His whole body was in pain, but his throat was so painful that he didn't dare to use force to make a sound.
The box next to him was a dark red color and was obviously extremely strange. King Cheng also told himself not to look at it, as Song Tangning and the others would never give him anything good.
But the box was too close, and the opened lid seemed to be under a spell, making him focus on it again and again.
Can not look……
Don't look...
King Cheng's breathing became heavier and heavier, and he kept telling himself, but after lying on the ground for a long time, he still couldn't help but poke his head.
The box was pitch black, and the darkness around him made it difficult to see clearly. King Cheng couldn't help but move closer, and a strong fishy smell rushed into his nose. The next moment...
"ah!!!!!!"
The screams of panic were heard in the prison. King Cheng waved his hand and flew away the contents of the box, and the mass of blood and flesh fell on him in a blur.
"Get away! Get away!!"
He didn't care about the injuries on his body. When he fell to the ground, he stepped back desperately, waving his hand to knock the mass of flesh and blood flying to the ground. However, he dragged his body into the corner in horror and huddled up. Trembling desperately.
The thing he threw away looked like a child, vaguely grinning at him while its flesh and blood were covered in blood.
