Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning

After the court meeting ended, most of the ministers in the hall hurriedly dispersed, this time much faster than before.

It seemed like something bad would happen if we were a step later.

Xie Lang did not leave after the court was dismissed. She asked Wei Qingming to return to the Princess's Mansion first as she had important matters to deal with.

At this time, in the Daxing Palace, except Xie Lang, there were still more than thirty ministers who had not left. Most of these ministers had once had friendships with Wei Changning. Some worked under her, and some stayed voluntarily.

The looks they gave Xie Lang were filled with confusion and a little fear.

"Princess, are you... okay?"

Prime Minister Shentu He was the first to break the silence and asked a question that everyone present was concerned about.

Xie Lang restrained his aura, leaving only a faint aftereffect: "I know what you are worried about. Although I am no longer a human, I am still the Princess of Wei."

After hearing this, everyone finally let go of the huge rock in their hearts.

The reason why they were afraid of Xie Lang and didn't dare to approach her was because she was a "ghost".

Now Xie Lang's words have resolved their worries.

Although she is no longer a human, she is still the eldest princess of the Wei Dynasty.

This sentence was Xie Lang telling them that she would not do anything bad to Wei, nor would she harm anyone.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, on returning to the human world."

Shentu He bowed deeply to Xie Lang.

He would not ask how Xie Lang came back to life.

He would not ask about the inhumane methods Xie Lang used at the court meeting.

There was no benefit for him in digging into the matter. He just needed to know that the person in front of him was the eldest princess.

As for the rest, Xie Lang would tell when he wanted to, and if he didn't want to tell, it would be pointless to ask.

The others followed Shentuhe's lead and saluted.

After they finished their ceremony, Xie Lang said, "I came back this time for two main reasons. One is to deal with Si Haodang's crime of murdering my daughter. This matter has been resolved."

"The second is to train Wei Qingming to become a qualified princess guarding the country. After this is completed, I will fall into eternal sleep again."

Shentu He then remembered who Xie Lang came for.

With Xie Lang's words, Wei Qingming's future path became much smoother.

"With the eldest princess personally training him, the prince will definitely not disappoint your highness."

For Shentu He, since the eldest princess had set an example, he was not averse to making Wei Qingming the crown prince.

What he was most worried about was that Wei Qingming knew nothing but relied on his status to interfere in the government affairs.

After all, she had never been involved in court affairs before.

National affairs are no joke; one decision can affect the life and death of tens of millions of people.

However, since it was Xie Lang who taught him personally, he still planned to believe in Xie Lang's ability.

For the next two quarters of an hour, Xie Lang chatted with these ministers about some topics concerning state affairs, and then let them go back to their respective duties.

…………

Xie Lang walked out of the hall. The sun had already risen in the east. Although the sunlight was bright, it was not scorching. It just made people feel warm.

The princess's ceremonial guards were also waiting outside the palace. After Xie Lang got on the carriage, the driver asked carefully in front, "Your Highness, are you going back to the princess's mansion?"

The driver is an official who drives the carriage.

"Go to the Ministry of Justice Prison."

After hearing these indifferent words, the eldest princess's procession marched towards the Ministry of Justice's prison in a mighty procession.

A quarter of an hour later, the ceremonial guard stopped at the gate of the Ministry of Justice Prison.

When Minister of Justice Zou Xing learned the news early on, he put down his current affairs and went to the door to greet them with a group of officials from the Ministry of Justice.

"Welcome to the eldest princess."

"Excuse me."

Xie Lang got off the carriage and asked Zou Xing, who was in charge, "How is Si Haodang doing in prison?"

"Replying to the Princess, after Si Haodang was dragged into the cell, he kept shouting in prison. Some jailers couldn't stand it anymore and beat him up before he quieted down."

Zou Xing answered in detail that Si Haodang was sentenced to death by slow slicing seven days later, so he naturally could not die within these seven days, but he was annoyed by Si Haodang's noise and had to use some means to make him quiet down.

"It looks like he's living too comfortably." Xie Lang said, "Go prepare a torture chamber and find a few good torturers. I want to prepare a great gift for Si Haodang."

Zou Xing instantly understood what Xie Lang meant. He could not help but mourn for Si Haodang in his heart, and asked a few clerks to whisper to him: "Take Si Haodang to the torture chamber and prepare..."

Upon hearing this, several clerks hurried to the cell where the death row prisoners were held.

Inside the torture chamber, Xie Lang was looking around.

This is deep inside the prison. Because it has not seen sunlight for many years, the light inside is very dim.

For the purpose of lighting, candles are lit here day and night. The candles emit a dim light, which makes people feel deeply chilled.

Inside the torture room, there were various racks and torture instruments, all of which were covered in black blood, making them look particularly creepy.

A groaning sound was heard, and Si Haodang was brought in by several jailers. As soon as he came in and saw Xie Lang, he began to beg.

"Princess...Princess...I don't want to die. I don't want to be tortured to death. Please let me go..."

Several clerks brought some chairs and tables, asked Xie Lang and several officials to sit down, and placed some fruits and food on the table.

Xie Lang sat on the chair at the head, ignoring Si Haodang's plea for mercy, and asked nonchalantly, "How many punishments are there in the Ministry of Justice Prison? How many can the average person endure?"

"Princess, the Ministry of Justice has a total of 108 tortures, all of which are extremely cruel. An ordinary person would vomit cleanly after one or two tortures, and being able to withstand five is already good." Zou Xing sighed, "Seven or eight are considered superior, ten are rare, and fifteen or more can endanger life. So far, no one has been able to withstand twenty-nine."

Twenty-nine?

Xie Lang pondered for a long while. Although his tone was calm, the meaning behind his words made the hairs on one's body stand on end: "In that case, let's use them all."

"No, no, no... No... Princess..." Si Haodang could no longer remain calm at this moment. He resisted and struggled desperately. The shackles on his hands and feet collided with each other, making loud noises. However, he was held down tightly by the jailer and could not break free at all. He was like a lamb to be slaughtered.

Then, several jailers brought the rack, loosened the shackles on Si Haodang's hands and feet, forced him onto the rack, and fixed his hands and feet to form a "big" character.

The clerk in charge of executions also took a whip from the stand and walked in front of Si Haodang. The whip was about one meter long, brown in color, and covered with dense barbs. You could see some flesh and blood remaining on the barbs, which flashed a cold light under the candlelight.

“No…no…” Seeing the executioner getting closer, Si Haodang’s pupils widened and his whole body shook even more violently.

After a few seconds, the clerk stopped.

He raised the whip and whipped Si Haodang hard.

There was a sound of breaking air, and the whip landed on his body. With a ripping sound, the prisoner uniform was torn apart, leaving a bloody mark, and even the flesh was torn off.

"Ah ah ah ah ah……"

A shrill scream was heard, and Si Haodang struggled desperately, shaking the rack continuously.

However, before Si Haodang could recover, the next whip fell fiercely, making Si Haodang scream like a pig being slaughtered again.

On the other side, Xie Lang was very calm about Si Haodang's miserable condition, and his eyes didn't seem to change.

Zou Xing said at this time: "Princess, those minor officials are good at torture. They know how to torture so that the victim can suffer the greatest pain while not easily killing him."

For the next hour, the torturers continued to torture Si Haodang using all kinds of torture instruments.

Whipping, branding, finger-torsion, clamps, grooming, large splints...

Si Haodang's screams never stopped, but his voice gradually became hoarse.

He fainted several times and only woke up after being splashed with pepper water. In the end, he didn't even have the strength to struggle.

At this time, the torturer stopped the punishment and walked to Xie Lang who was eating snacks. He said hesitantly: "Reporting to the princess, the criminal has been punished with 23 punishments and his body can no longer bear it. If we continue to torture..."

Xie Lang slowly finished the snack in his hand and glanced in the direction of Si Haodang. He saw that there was not a single intact part of his body. His white prison uniform was torn and stained with blood. Blood was still flowing from his body and his breath was weak. It seemed that he really could not bear it.

Then a beam of spiritual light shot towards him, maintaining his last breath, and said indifferently: "He will not die, continue."

"promise."

When the clerk learned the order, he went to get a torture instrument.

When the other officials saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and they looked at Xie Lang with fear in their eyes.

I didn’t expect Xie Lang to be so cruel.

Next, Si Haodang was being tortured while Xie Lang was drinking tea and chatting with officials from the Ministry of Justice and other departments.

During this period, some problems in the Ministry of Justice were also pointed out.

After several hours, Si Haodang was released after having undergone 108 punishments.

The whole person turned into a puddle of mud, unable to move at all, only his mouth was still opening and closing.

If you listen closely, you can make out that he is saying the word “spare my life”.
