The Regent makes me unstoppable [Transmigration Book]

Beizhen Fusi, Imperial Prison.

"Don't say it! Say it! Are you being stubborn? Besides, the red-hot soldering iron in my grandfather's hand is not a vegetarian!"

The sound of the whip hitting the flesh rang dozens of times, then suddenly stopped, and then there was a horrific cry in the execution room, but it only lasted for a moment and then there was no movement, the person must have fainted to death.

Gu Min walked in from the outside, just in time to hear the scream, couldn't help frowning, and asked the subordinate next to him, "Why, the person hasn't confessed yet?"

Jin Yiwei laughed and said: "My lord, the prisoner's mouth is very hard, and he has used all the usual instruments of torture. He bites his teeth and refuses to speak, but it's all right. The subordinates have ordered someone to invite Dr. Zhang to come."

The Doctor Zhang mentioned by Jin Yiwei is good at acupuncture, but his acupuncture skills are not for curing diseases and saving lives, but for helping Jin Yiwei deal with tough prisoners.

Some prisoners are strong-willed and have long put life and death aside, but the pain of flesh and blood can't make them confess at all, but if they meet Dr. Zhang, they don't need two or three injections, and the prisoner will feel as if his whole body is being tortured. Biting by insects, the pain is so painful that it has exceeded the critical point that human beings can bear. So far, no prisoner in the prison has survived the fifth injection without letting go.

Gu Min glanced in the direction of the execution room, a look of hatred flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice, "The factory bus agent must ask this person about the whereabouts of the birthday gift. Be careful not to kill him."

Jin Yiwei clasped his hands and said: "Lord Gu, don't worry, your subordinates know how to act properly."

After a while, Jin Yiwei came in with a middle-aged man dressed as a doctor. It was Doctor Zhang who was good at acupuncture.

When Dr. Zhang saw Gu Min and saw that Gu Min was wearing the imperial flying fish suit, he knew that he was a noble man, so he hurriedly bowed to Gu Min and said, "The little one pays his respects to your lord."

Gu Min didn't look directly at the others, but just waved his sleeves, "Go in."

Dr. Zhang took off the medicine box on his back and held it in his hand, nodded and said: "Don't worry, my lord, it will be over within a stick of incense."

Jin Yiwei led the doctor Zhang into the execution room, and Gu Min stood outside waiting for the result with a thoughtful expression.

Guo Jiuchen gave Jin Yiwei a ten-day deadline to solve the case, but now half of the time has passed, Guo Jiuchen has been impatiently urging him every day, if it is only for the gold and silver treasures in the birthday gift, the money is just a drop in the bucket to Guo Jiuchen, It doesn't make him so nervous.

So, could it be that those stolen birthday gifts contained something that might threaten Guo Jiuchen?

Gu Min was thinking about this, when a painful roar came from the torture room, Gu Min shrank his pupils, turned around and strode towards the torture room.

Jin Yiwei saw Gu Min coming in, and said courteously, "My lord, why are you here? This place is filthy, I'm sorry for your shoes, why don't you go outside and wait?"

Dr. Zhang held a hair-thin silver needle that gleamed coldly in his hand, and smiled flatteringly at Gu Min: "Yes, my lord, such a messy place is not something that a precious person like you can stay in. Don't worry, with two more needles, even if he is a gourd with a sawed mouth, a small one can make him open his mouth."

Gu Min glanced at the prisoner who was chained to the rack. The man was unkempt and unrecognizable. The clothes on his body had been torn by the whip, and the cloth strips were mixed with blood and flesh. A silver needle seemed to be enduring great pain, the body twitched constantly, the eyeballs kept turning up, and the throat continued to let out a low growl of pain.

Gu Min waved his hands, "Go out first, I have something to ask him."

Doctor Zhang hesitated and said: "My lord, this thief's mouth is very stubborn. If you just ask like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to ask anything. Why don't you let the little one stick two more needles?"

Gu Min walked up to Dr. Zhang, and suddenly pulled out a silver needle from the cloth bag where Dr. Zhang put the silver needles, twisted it in his hand, and asked with pretending interest: "Your acupuncture skills are inherited from your ancestors. of?"

Doctor Zhang immediately said with a smile: "Yes, it is inherited from the villain's ancestors."

"In the future, Jin Yiwei will use Dr. Zhang in a lot of places. Dr. Zhang must do his best. The factory owner will not treat you badly." Gu Min inserted the silver needle back into the cloth bag and said calmly, "You first take Zhang The doctor goes out and entertains the official well."

Doctor Zhang thought that he was appreciated by Gu Min, so he hurriedly thanked Gu Min happily, then walked over and pulled out the silver needle on the prisoner's head, packed his medicine box, and said, "Please ask, my lord, wait a minute." Call the little one in later if necessary."

Doctor Zhang took the medicine box and went out with Jin Yiwei. The door of the torture room was closed. Gu Min slowly walked to the prisoner with his hands behind his back, and said in a low voice, "Where did you hide the stolen birthday gift? Honestly, it's okay." suffer less."

The prisoner stared at Gu Min with eyes wide open, with a grim expression on his dirty face, he gritted his teeth and said, "You son of a bitch, don't think about it, I don't know a single word!"

Gu Min said slowly: "I know that people like you are not afraid of death, but in the imperial prison, there are many ways to make your life worse than death. Your life is your own, so why bother? As long as you are willing to confess, I may be able to keep you. You die."

The prisoner looked at Gu Min with disdain, sneered and didn't speak.

Gu Min: "Since I don't want to talk about the whereabouts of the birthday gift, let me change the question, who are your accomplices?"

The prisoner turned his head aside, as if he didn't want to talk to Gu Min.

Gu Min suddenly took a step forward, and whispered in the prisoner's ear, "Do you know who Ling Qingheng is?"

As soon as the prisoner heard Ling Qingheng's name, he really reacted. He immediately turned his face and looked at Gu Min in shock, but he quickly reacted, lowered his head and denied, "I don't know, I haven't heard of it."

Gu Min sneered: "I can't help but you don't admit it, now I'm asking you, if that Doctor Zhang comes in later, even if your mouth is locked, five needles go down, you know something, sooner or later you will spit it out net."

The prisoner raised his head and glared at Gu Min, wishing he could swallow Gu Min alive.

Gu Min didn't take it seriously and said, "Don't worry, I'm the only one who knows that Ling Qingheng is yours. As long as you answer my two questions honestly, I won't touch him."

The prisoner's eyes flickered twice, as if he was a little puzzled by Gu Min's actions, "What on earth are you trying to do?"

Gu Min looked stern, "Time is limited, I don't have time to tell you in detail, first tell me, how did you know the escort route for the birthday ceremony?"

The prisoner hesitated a little, wondering if he should trust Gu Min or not, but he was worried that Gu Min would harm Ling Qingheng, so he finally said, "Someone gave us the road map."

Gu Min: "Who is it?"

Prisoner: "I don't know. As long as it's against the dog, I'll do it. I don't know anything about the rest, and I won't ask."

Gu Min asked again: "Have you opened those birthday presents? Is there anything special in them?"

The prisoner said: "I'm just in charge of one of the routes. As for what's in the birthday gift, I don't know."

"Then who knows?" Gu Min asked tentatively, "Ling Qingheng?"

The prisoner was silent for a while, then suddenly struggled, the iron chain on his body clanged, "You have finished asking the two questions, Officer Dog, you better keep your word, otherwise I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"

With his silence, Gu Min already knew the answer.

"Your enemy is not me, even if you want to take revenge, don't find the wrong person." Gu Min took a step back and said calmly, "Since you have entered the imperial prison, you should understand that there is absolutely no way for you to get out alive. "

The prisoner sneered, "It's ridiculous, do you think I'm afraid of death?"

Gu Min said leisurely: "It's easy to want to die, but the hard thing is that life is better than death. You have already experienced the method of Doctor Zhang just now. How long do you think you can last?"

The prisoner recalled the pain just now, slowly lowered his head, then raised his head suddenly, looked at Gu Min, and asked tentatively, "What do you want?"

Gu Min said bluntly: "I can give you a happy experience, so that you will suffer less pain."

The prisoner smiled and said, "If you kill me, they will definitely suspect you. Do you think everyone else is a fool?"

Gu Min slowly raised his hand, and the prisoner looked up at Gu Min's hand, and found that there was a silver needle between his fingertips!

The prisoner immediately understood Gu Min's plan, and a resolute smile gradually appeared on his face, and he said in a low voice, "Okay! Okay! It's worth it if you can get someone to back you before you die! Then please do it!"

Gu Min raised the silver needle and pointed it at the top of the prisoner's head. He was about to stab it when he suddenly thought of something and asked again, "May I ask your name, sir?"

The prisoner closed his eyes, his face was calm, and he had no fear of death, "I have been incognito for so long, and no one has asked me who I am for a long time. Even I almost forgot who I am. I didn't expect to die soon , I will tell a Jin Yiwei. Listen carefully, I am Han Sui, the son of Zhan Shi Han Chong in Prince Zhaohuai's residence."

Gu Min's hand holding the silver needle trembled slightly, "So it's Mr. Han's son."

The prisoner opened his eyes and looked at Gu Min strangely, "Do you know my father?"

Gu Min closed his eyes, "To be honest, my father is General Longhu and Xu Wenjie."

The prisoner's eyes widened when he heard this, and he couldn't believe it: "Are you a descendant of the Xu family? The Xu family actually has a descendant?"

Gu Min smiled wryly, "I didn't expect that the first time the descendants of you and my family met, it was a farewell. I'm sorry, for revenge, Xu had to temporarily attach himself to the gangster party. He was really powerless and couldn't help Han. Mister got away, but he couldn’t bear to be tortured again.”

Han Sui smiled awe-inspiringly, "Mr. Xu, why did you say that? Knowing that the Xu family still has a descendant before you die is a great comfort in your life. Besides, if you can fulfill my death for you, Han will have no regrets in dying! The heavy responsibility of the eunuch is entrusted to you, come on, do it!"

……

"Someone! Somebody!"

Jin Yiwei, who was waiting outside the execution room, heard Gu Min yelling inside, and hurriedly opened the door and rushed in, "My lord, what happened?"

Gu Min pointed to Han Sui who was already dead on the shelf, and said, "The officer just asked him a few words, and he passed out. Let's see what happened to him?"

Jin Yiwei hurriedly stepped forward to check on Han Sui's situation, stretched his hand under his nose to test his breath, his face changed, "My lord, the prisoner is dead!"

"Dead?" Gu Min looked cold and serious, "How did you die?"

Jin Yiwei said: "I'm afraid the specific cause of death will only be known after Wu Zuo comes over for an autopsy."

Gu Min said in a deep voice, "Then hurry up and ask Wu Zuo to come over."

Dr. Zhang, who was drinking tea outside, heard the movement and rushed over to check the situation. Seeing Han Sui's body, he was surprised and said, "Hey, it was fine just now, why did you die suddenly?"

Gu Min cast a cold glance at Doctor Zhang, walked out of the torture room and said, "The factory owner has repeatedly emphasized that he must ask the inmate for the whereabouts of the birthday gift, but now he died suddenly, and no one is allowed to leave the prison until the cause of death is found out! "

Dr. Zhang trembled in fright at the look in Gu Min's eyes.

Soon Wu Zuo came, and after carefully examining Han Sui's body, he finally found a silver needle on top of the body's head.

Wu Zuo pulled out the silver needle, put it on a plate and showed it to Gu Min, "I would like to report to Mr. Gu, the criminal's death was caused by this silver needle piercing into the brain."

Gu Min looked at Doctor Zhang coldly, pointed at him and shouted, "It turned out to be you! What else do you have to say?"

Doctor Zhang was terrified.His legs became weak and he knelt down on the ground, "Master Mingjian! How could the little one be a murderer? The little one doesn't know this person at all!"

Gu Min sneered, pointed to the silver needle on the plate and said, "But the needle is yours, so you can't be wrong, right?"

Doctor Zhang's face was pale, and he was sweating profusely, "It's true that the needle is the villain's fault, but the villain really didn't kill anyone. If the villain wanted to kill him, how could he be so stupid as to use a silver needle? Doesn't this mean telling everyone, people?" Did I kill it? I beg your lord to find out!"

Gu Min said indifferently: "You are a master of acupuncture and moxibustion skills passed down from your ancestors. Who else would use silver needles to kill people? You can say after the acupuncture that the prisoner died because he couldn't stand the pain. Originally, your plan was flawless. It's just that you didn't expect that the official would come in later and spoil your plan, making it too late for you to pull out that deadly silver needle. Tell me! Who ordered you to kill people to silence your words?"

Dr. Zhang couldn't argue with anything, he sat on the ground paralyzed, shaking his hands again and again, "I, I, I... This, this, this is really not me!"

"Don't tell me, right?" Gu Min walked up to Dr. Zhang, looked at him condescendingly, and ordered the Jin Yiwei next to him, "Come here, let me throw him into the execution room for torture. Let's see how hard your mouth is!"

—

The day when she and Ling Qingheng agreed to meet soon arrived.

Shen Ying had been waiting in the palace for King An to tell him where Ling Qingheng had been transferred, but until it was almost dark, not a single word came into the Palace of Prince An.

The palace is full of eyeliners, and Shen Ying can't go out of the palace clearly, so she can only stay in Yongle Palace and close the palace gate, scolding the king of Anjun for being unreliable, and when she gets tired of scolding, take a break and continue scolding Gu Min.

When it was Youshi, the eunuch suddenly came to report that King An was asking to see him. Shen Ying hurriedly got up from Luohan's bed and straightened her clothes before letting the eunuch King Xuan'an come in.

Shen Ying sat on the grand teacher's chair, heard footsteps coming in outside, without turning her head, snorted coldly: "You still know to come to see me, but I thought you had already forgotten what I told you!"

"Please ask the emperor to bow to Jin'an." Jun Wang greeted An with a smile, and said, "How could I forget the emperor's words? Didn't I come here for a business?"

"Oh? You settled Ling Qingheng? Where is it?" Shen Ying raised her eyes to look at King An with great interest. After seeing someone standing behind King An, she took a closer look and clapped her hands on her knees immediately. Standing up from the chair, he pointed at Ling Qingheng who was dressed as an eunuch behind King An and said, "Why did you bring someone into the palace!"

Although Ling Qingheng was wearing a eunuch uniform, he didn't feel that he was lowly, and his demeanor still gave people a sense of refinement. Temperament is something that radiates from the inside out, and does not need to rely on external distractions. object modification.

Ling Qingheng raised the hem of his clothes and knelt down to salute Shen Ying respectfully: "Cao Min pays tribute to the emperor."

"Get up." Shen Ying raised her hand to excuse Ling Qingheng, pulled King An aside, turned her back to Ling Qingheng, and said in a low voice, "Shen Xuan, this is the good idea you gave me. Right? I knew you were unreliable, if you could be reliable for a while, even sows would climb trees!"

King An was very unconvinced after being scolded, and he straightened his waist and retorted: "No, why am I unreliable? Didn't you say that Gu Min would not let the emperor go out of the palace to see Ling Qingheng? He didn't say no to Ling Qingheng Come to see you in the palace!"

Shen Ying: "... What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"

King An Jun snorted and said: "It's reasonable to be wrong. Besides, don't you know what it means to be dark under the lamp? Gu Min is only looking at whether you will leave the palace. How could he think that Ling Qingheng and others have already entered the palace? The palace There are thousands of houses in the village, if you choose one randomly to house Ling Qingheng, the person surnamed Gu can still keep an eye on which palace you went to and who you met? Ling Qingheng entered the palace, and when the two of you meet in the future, wouldn’t it be the same? Is it more convenient than going out of the palace?"

Shen Ying: "..." He must have gotten too close to King An recently, and his IQ was lowered, so he actually felt that what King An said seemed to make sense.

The most dangerous place is the safest place.

It is indeed impossible for Gu Min to think that he has brought Ling Qingheng into the palace!

Shen Ying waved his sleeves, "All right, all right, let's just say that your errand is not messed up."

King An rolled his eyelids in dissatisfaction, "I should have done well."

Shen Ying smiled perfunctorily, "Okay, well done, thank you for sending me over here, you have nothing to do here, you go back to the mansion first." As he spoke, he pushed King An out, and King An was upset He turned his head and yelled, "What? You were going to drive me away when I first came here, Shen Zhaoxi, is there anyone like you who is a brother?"

Shen Ying didn't bother to talk to him, so she sent King An away, and then ordered the eunuch to lock the palace door, and then took Ling Qingheng into the study, ordering the palace people not to approach him.

Shen Ying noticed that Ling Qingheng was carrying a food box all the time, and guessed that the food in it was not real food, but something to cover people's eyes, so she asked straight to the point: "You said you have prepared a big gift for me, is this the thing in your hand? What's in it?"

"The emperor guessed right." Ling Qingheng put the food box on the table, opened the lid of the food box, raised the lamp on the table to illuminate the inside of the food box, and asked Shen Ying to come over and have a look, "Please take a look, Your Majesty."

Shen Ying walked over curiously and lowered her head for a glance. At first sight, she thought it was something similar to clothes, but after a second glance, she realized something was wrong.

Shen Ying reached in and took out the contents of the food box and shook them open in her hands. It was a good dress, and the style was familiar to him. It was the big red python robe that ministers often wear, but look carefully at the chest of the dress.Shen Ying's face suddenly darkened when he saw the pattern in front of him.

As we all know, only the clothes worn by the emperor are called "dragon robes". Although the official uniforms worn by other imperial relatives and favorite ministers also have dragons embroidered on them, they have one toe less than the dragons on the emperor's clothes, so they are called "boa robes". "The dragon has five toes, and the python has four toes. Anyone who dares to wear the clothes of a five-toed dragon is trespassing and treasonous!"

Shen Yinghan asked in a cold voice, "Where did this python robe come from?"

Ling Qingheng put down the lamp, "Return to the emperor, this python robe was found by the grassroots among the robbed birthday gifts of Guo Jiuchen, and it is one of the birthday gifts given to Guo Jiuchen by the governor of Jiangnan."

"Okay, what a Jiangnan governor!" Shen Ying slapped the python robe on the table, and sneered, "In order to please Guo Jiuchen, how dare they make a dragon robe privately! Why, don't they still want to support an eunuch as emperor?"

No wonder, he was surprised before, but he just lost a few boxes of gold and silver. With Guo Jiuchen's rich family background, how could he care about the little silver, and even dispatched all Jin Yiwei to search for the whereabouts of the robbed birthday gift.

It turned out that what Guo Jiuchen was really looking for was this dress. He was afraid that others would get hold of the evidence of his secret possession of the dragon robe and his conspiracy!

Ling Qingheng said: "Your Majesty, Guo Jiuchen's wolfish ambition is clearly revealed, and his crime is unforgivable. This dragon robe given to him by the governor of Jiangnan is ironclad proof."

Shen Ying sat down and said calmly: "A dragon robe was not worn on him, let alone stolen by you. How can you convict him based on this alone? Even if the evidence is put in front of Guo Jiuchen, he will You can also find a hundred excuses to excuse yourself."

Guo Jiuchen is really blinded by power. A rootless eunuch who still wants to be emperor, even if the country is given to him, does he have the ability to sit?

Shen Ying picked up the teacup on the table, lifted the lid of the cup and took a sip, thinking that it would be great if Guo Jiuchen could find a way to let Guo Jiuchen take the initiative to put on the dragon robe, but Guo Jiuchen is not stupid, he understands that There is a high probability that people have already known about the private making of the dragon robe, and they will definitely act cautiously in the future, and it will be difficult to catch his mistakes.

Shen Ying thought for a while, put down the teacup, looked at Ling Qingheng and said, "Okay, I have received the gift you brought me, and I will arrange for you to stay in the palace later. I have decided what to do with this dragon robe, and then I will discuss it with you."

In the end, Shen Ying arranged Ling Qingheng to live in a remote and rarely visited palace in the southeast corner of the palace, and sent two strict-mouthed eunuchs and two court ladies to take care of Ling Qingheng's daily life.

The palace where Ling Qingheng lives and Lanyue Zhai where Gu Min lives are separated by more than half the palace. Unless Gu Min has nothing to do, otherwise, it is impossible for the two of them to meet.

Shen Ying thought that what she had done was perfect, but what he didn't know was that Gu Min, who was outside the palace at the moment, was also looking for Ling Qingheng.

Gu Min guessed that the batch of birthday gifts stolen by Ling Qingheng must be hiding Guo Jiuchen's handle, so he sneaked into Ling Qingheng's original residence late at night, trying to find Ling Qingheng to ask what happened, but found that the courtyard was dark and empty, and the building had long since been deserted. .

Gu Min couldn't find any trace of Ling Qingheng, and couldn't help feeling suspicious, wondering why he suddenly disappeared?
