Meng Que and Zhao Jin stood in the dark.When he took that step, Meng Que had already made enough preparations.Cruel officials are the sharpest daggers of the emperor. They are criticized by the world, but they are favored by the emperor alone.He Lan is not a person who is content with the status quo, and does not want to just be a county king and enjoy the favor of his ancestors, so he chose this path.Cruel officials are cruel officials, whether it is the previous dynasty or the current dynasty, there are not many such people.Now it's just that the cruel official is the person next to him.

However, when he actually saw that scene, Meng Que was still unspeakably terrified.

He Lan sat there, his face still expressionless, but this time he looked a little cold.A person knelt in front of him, his clothes were soaked in blood, and his whole body seemed to be fished out of blood.The two persistently whipped the whip at the man, every time, the whip would pick up pieces of meat and blood would spill on the ground.He Lan even thought about drinking tea.

After dozens of whips, He Lan raised his hand, and the two stopped.

He Lan stared at that person with dark and cold eyes: "Who ordered you?"

The man gasped for breath, and after a while he said, "I didn't steal that painting!" The man's voice was weak, but he was very firm.

"Where were you on the night of the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month?" He Lan continued to ask.

"The slave is on vigil," the man said.

"Although you didn't steal the painting, it has something to do with you." He Lan said, "You were on guard that night, and the guards confirmed that no outsiders entered the palace that day, so the one who stole His Majesty's painting can only be the people inside. You After staying in the palace for decades, His Majesty trusts you the most, so naturally you are outstanding. You never sleep when you watch His Majesty's night. So, that night, you must know who entered His Majesty's bedroom .”

"The sin slave is getting old, it's better to be loyal and responsible for His Majesty when he was young. That night, the sin slave took a nap and didn't see anything, so he didn't know about it." The man said humanely.

He Lan obviously didn't believe him: "Eunuch Gao, you have been in the palace for so many years, you must have heard of 'skinning'. To skin a living person, use that sharp knife to cut a knife in the center of your back, and then peel off the whole piece of human skin. Peel it off bit by bit... the flesh on your body is already rotten, I originally wanted to wait until your skin and flesh are fully grown before peeling off, so it seems that Eunuch Gao himself can't wait."

Just the description makes one's scalp tingle.

The person who was not even afraid of the cruel whipping began to tremble uncontrollably when he heard this, and his voice was filled with despair: "Master He, you are not a slave..."

"But you know who it is."

"Sin slaves don't know..."

He Lan already had a sharp dagger in his hand, and the dagger was glowing with cold light, reflecting the frightened look in the eyes of the old eunuch who had been in the palace for decades.

The light of the knife also reflected He Lan's face, without any waves, like the king of Hades.He seemed to have lost his voice, he could only widen his eyes and open his mouth, watching the dagger getting closer and closer to him...

There was a sudden sharp pain in his back. The pain was not the same as the severe pain of the whip hitting him, but a kind of scalp-numbing pain, which hit the bones and the heart.In that vague moment, he seemed to hear a cold voice ringing in his ears.

"It seems that Eunuch Gao really protects his son deeply, it is more important than his own life..."

This sentence has already made the old eunuch fall into the ice cellar. He has interrogated him for so long and tortured him for so long. It turns out that he knows everything, he knows who took the painting.However, He Lan's next sentence made him feel as if he had fallen into eighteen levels of hell.

"But it's not because of this that you deserve to die. For the sins of your life, you should die for 'skinning'."

At that moment, he felt the burning from the depths of hell, and the last breath in his chest was gone.His eyes were wide open, and he died instantly!

That Eunuch Gao, who was so favored by the emperor, that even first-rank officials would show some face when they saw him, that Eunuch Gao who made many people fear when he heard his name, died in such embarrassment.

At the last moment, perhaps only one word remained in the old eunuch's mind, and that was 'sin'.He has stayed in this palace for so many years, until he reached the position of chief eunuch, he walked over the blood and corpses of countless people.He had broken the heels of many people and killed many court ladies and eunuchs. However, his biggest crime was that in order to please the emperor's favorite concubine, he personally skinned the sinful concubine who fell out of favor, and dedicated the skin to the emperor's favorite concubine.

Nemesis unhappy.

Of course, Meng Que and Zhao Jin didn't know that they saw a person who was frightened to death by He Lan!However, He Lan did not stop, but carefully peeled off the dead man's skin.

He Lan took the handkerchief from his entourage and wiped the blood in his hand, so calmly, as if what he just peeled was not human skin, but more like a game of chess.

At that moment, Meng Que suddenly had the urge to vomit as he looked at the man whose skin and flesh were torn apart on the ground.

Zhao Jin's complexion also changed a little. At that moment, he felt that He Lan seemed to glance in his direction. His eyes were deep and indifferent, which made him tremble all over, and he felt an urge to escape.

"Bring the little pillar up." He Lan wiped off the blood, sat back on the chair, and drank tea.

The punishment is clearly not over yet.

Soon, a much younger boy was brought up.The young man's face was filthy and black, but there was no injury on his body. His brows and eyes were soft, and his walk was a little weird. He was obviously an eunuch.

Seeing the puddle of blood and mud on the ground, the little eunuch froze in fright, and knelt down with a flick of his feet.When I saw the person sitting there, my body couldn't straighten up.

'Living King of Hades' also has a certain reputation in the palace.

When I was in the palace, people often mentioned the three words 'living Hades'.They all know that the King of Hades is ruthless, and those who come out of his hands will not only die, but when they die, they would rather that they had not lived.The methods used to live Hades are extremely cruel. In addition to the ten torture methods, he also has many methods of his own.

When he saw Eunuch Gao's body, Xiao Zhuzi knew that this person was more terrifying than the rumors said.If he came in, his fate would not be worse than the people around him. Unless Da Luo Jinxian came to save him, he would not be able to survive.Immediately, his head was emptied, and when his lower body became hot, a stream of yellow liquid flowed out.

"On the night of the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Gao Hong gave you a painting, where did that painting go?" He Lan asked.

Xiao Zhuzi trembled, his lips trembled, but he didn't say anything.

"Before entering the palace, Gao Hong married a wife at home, and the wife gave birth to a son for him. He thought the Gao family had a son, but he didn't expect that the child suddenly disappeared when he was five years old. Until 13 years later, Gao Hong saw you in the palace and saw the birthmark on the back of your foot. Gao Hong has served in the palace for nearly 20 years, so she naturally knows His Majesty's taboo, and will not give her life for money. But this time, he actually The only reason why you are stupid enough to steal His Majesty's paintings is for you."

He Lan put down the tea in his hand: "My patience is limited, Xiao Zhuzi, are you talking or not? If you don't want to talk, it's useless to keep your tongue."

Xiao Zhuzi opened his mouth, stumbled and said, "Yes...someone said they wanted...to kill the criminal slaves, and poisoned the criminal slaves...Gao...Eunuch wanted to save the criminal slaves...and gave the painting to the criminal slaves."

"Where did that painting go?" He Lan asked.

"Sin slaves don't know..." He Lan glanced over, and the little eunuch's body trembled instantly, "I put that painting...by the bed...it disappeared the next day..."

"Who is the person who poisoned you? Have you seen him? How did he contact you? What poison did he poison you?" He Lan asked.

"I don't know...I don't even know! He was wearing black clothes, covering his face, and his voice was very rough. As for the poison, he didn't say anything."

He Lan stood up and walked towards the little eunuch.The little eunuch had already collapsed on the ground, and He Lan's hand reached out to the little eunuch's neck.The little eunuch closed his eyes, he thought he had seen a ghost.

The little eunuch's neck was slender, and it could be broken with just a slight twist.In the eyes of outsiders, it was obvious that He Lan wanted to strangle the little eunuch to death.

"Is this how Mr. He handles cases? Kill people if you don't get what you want?" A voice suddenly sounded, and at the same time, a white figure also came out from the darkness.

The people around He Lan had already noticed that someone was watching, but they didn't take it seriously.This place is heavily guarded, and anyone who can enter is allowed.Many people like to watch He Lan's trial.

But this was the first time that someone dared to question He Lan's way of judging the case.

Several pairs of eyes fell on the man in white.
