The second son, who has been delicate and fleshy since he was a child, has suffered no flesh and blood, but has long been terrified by his elder brother's miserable appearance.

However, his cries were not answered by his father.

"Why are you arguing, if you don't let go, I will break your bones." The jailer with a face full of flesh spat.

He raised his foot and kicked the second son's waist, the crisp "click" sound of bones breaking made his teeth ache.

"what!"

The hysterical screams sounded right in front of Wu Ye's cell door.

The second son curled up on the ground in pain, with a lot of blood foaming from his mouth and nose, and stared at Fifth Master's with wide eyes.

His eyes were full of pain, horror, and disbelief, and he didn't even want to believe what he saw with his own eyes.

Seeing Fifth Master cruelly closing his eyes and turning his back, the disbelief in the second son's eyes was gradually replaced by despair and resentment.

The jailer sneered disdainfully, and provocatively said: "Boy, see clearly, this is your father, and he is the only one in his heart who will not care about your life or death."

Seeing that he was still shrinking on the ground, the jailer winked at his companion, "Go, take him to the torture room to play."

"Okay, I think this kid is much thinner and more fleshy than the previous one, so he can do a lot of work." The companion smiled maliciously.

The two dragged them away effortlessly, not paying any attention to the Rong family who were trembling with fright.

Rong Lao San and Rong Lao Si saw that the two elder brothers were in trouble, and shouted through the solid iron fence: "Father, my son begs you, if you have anything, please explain it quickly!"

The fourth child immediately echoed with snot and tears, "My son is still young, and he still has his wife and children to support. You can give him a way out for the sake of his filial piety."

Fifth Master was unmoved at all, still turned his back to them, and didn't even raise his eyelids.

Hearing the second brother's cries of pain getting smaller and smaller, the third child became a little anxious, and directly threatened: "Father, since you don't care about our lives, then don't blame the sons for being cruel."

"As long as we two brothers know everything, we will tell it all!"

"Not for anything else, just to save my life."

He looked at Fifth Master nervously, and signaled Fourth Brother with his eyes, asking him to express his opinion quickly.

The fourth child swallowed, looked nervously at the third brother, then at the fifth master, and finally at the silent eldest brother.

He gritted his teeth violently, stomped his feet and shouted: "Father, you are unkind, so don't blame your sons for being unrighteous. Even if you are gone in the future, we will take good care of your mother and the clansmen."

Their words were like sharp knives, constantly poking his heart.

At this time, I don't want to think about unity, but only want to betray my close relatives to preserve my own sex.

It's like if they die, they can live on without being implicated.

Even if he took a hundred steps back, which of his four useless sons hadn't done such things as bullying men and women, and robbing other people's shops and properties?

Their children are even more miserable. If they hadn't killed the daughters of Master Feng's family, how could they have fallen into such a situation.

Fifth Master believed that once they opened their mouths, not only would they die, but their children would also die.

A moment later, the severely wounded and unconscious second son was dragged by both legs. His skin was ripped apart from the beating, and his bloody back just stuck to the stone-filled, uneven ground, leaving a long line of scars everywhere he passed. bloodstains.

It seems to be warning the remaining two brothers, if you still refuse to speak the truth.

This is what will happen to you!

The bloody warning made people feel terrified, and the cowardly and incompetent fourth child was so frightened that his legs trembled. He didn't even know he had peed in his pants, and stared blankly at the blood on the ground.

The third child was not much better. Although he was not as good-for-nothing as the fourth child, his knees softened the moment the jailer looked over.

"puff"

Kneeling on the ground and shouting, "I said, I said, I will tell you everything I know."

The two jailers looked at each other and smiled with satisfaction: "Those who know the current affairs are outstanding. If the two of them are as wise as you, wouldn't they be spared the pain of flesh and blood?"

"Okay then, come with us."

As soon as he heard that he took the initiative to confess and was about to be taken away, the third child immediately panicked.

"I said I told you all, why did you take me away?"

"I'm not going, I'm not going anywhere, I'll just say it here!" As he said, he hugged the iron fence and didn't let go.

The face of the impatient jailer also changed, and he said cursingly: "Don't be shameless, there is so much nonsense."

He casually took the whip hanging from his waist and whipped it.

"Snapped"

Crisp whip.

After being dazed for a moment, the third child let out a scream like killing a pig.

The index finger of his right hand, which was gripping the iron fence tightly, disappeared, and the bright red blood "tick-tick" flowed down the wound where the severed finger was.

The pain caused him to fold his hands and kept rolling and roaring on the ground.

Even if he made himself miserable and covered in blood, he still couldn't escape the fate of being taken away.

The third child was taken away for a long time, and it took about an hour before he was brought back by the jailer.

The only difference from when he left was that his broken finger was well bandaged, and the blood-stained prison uniform he was wearing before was also completely new.

Seeing the grease stains on the corners of his mouth that had not been wiped off, he must have eaten something good.

Such an obvious change also gave the rest of the Rong family hope for life.

When the jailer was about to close the door, the third child still did not forget to flatter him: "Brother Jailor, my fourth brother also knows what I told you, you can ask him if you don't believe me."

"Well, you performed well, we will consider it." The jailer said perfunctorily.

He hurriedly winked at the fourth brother and said: "Fourth brother, you know what to say, don't hide anything, the two guards will not make things difficult for you, don't worry."

The fourth child nodded nervously, and followed the jailer obediently.

It's not that he never thought of resisting, but the lessons learned from the past were too painful, which made him have no confidence to challenge the authority of the jailer.

As time passed by every minute and every second, there was no movement in the torture room.

No one knew what the fourth child had said to the jailers.

In fact, few people really cared about what he said. What they cared about was whether the fourth child could come back safe and sound like the third child.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the fourth child not only came back intact, but also held a delicious roast chicken in his arms.

The strong fragrance wafted in the prison full of peculiar smells, making those spoiled Rong family who hadn't had a good meal in prison for a few days swallow their saliva desperately.

A few children of the younger generation shouted loudly, "Fourth Uncle, I'm hungry, Fourth Uncle wants to eat roast chicken, Fourth Uncle give me a chicken leg..."

The fourth child tightly hugged the roast chicken wrapped in oil paper, what a joke, he didn't know how long he would stay here.

I gave you the roast chicken, what did you let me eat!

He thought selfishly, even if his own son wanted to eat, he was not willing to give a portion.

Just leave a sentence, "If you want to eat, earn it yourself." I don't care about it.

This is great, the cell where the Rong family was imprisoned has exploded.

Everyone knows that as long as you tell everything the government wants to know, you will not be beaten, and you will be served with good wine and good meat.

These two points alone are enough to seduce the Rong family who have eaten bad food for several days.

They are like girls in the barn waiting for their benefactors to come to their door. Every time they see a jailer passing by, they will ask, "Officer, when can I come to ask questions? I will tell you everything, and I promise that there will be no reservations."

At first, the guards were able to interrogate one or two people, but over time they became uncharacteristically and never interrogated the Rong family again.

Just put them in jail and ignore them.

……

Qicheng, the residence of the Right Prime Minister.

Yan Pei, who had just returned to the mansion from the next court, limped into the study with a walking stick.

Putting down his cane, before his buttocks warmed up, he saw the old housekeeper hurried in.

"My lord, this is a letter from Linyuan City." He presented the letter with respectful hands.

Yan Pei took the letter, dismissed the old housekeeper casually, and saw that the study door was closed again.

Only then did he quickly open the letter, pull out a thick stack of letter paper from it, and read it carefully.

The more she watched, the more excited she became, and the more she read, the more excited she was. At the end of the reading, she burst into laughter and said, "Okay, okay, okay, it's you. This place can also give me a big surprise.”

It turned out that Qi Jingxuan listed the leftist Wang Anlin and his henchmen with dozens of crimes including tax evasion, tax deduction, embezzlement of disaster relief funds, secret collection of taxes, buying and selling official positions, and selling private salt, etc., one by one.

Evidence is also intimately attached, even accurate to the year, month, day, time, place, and participants.

Of course, these were copied from the ledgers found in Cong Rong's house and another official's house.

Even if it wasn't the original copy, it was enough for her to work on it and take a good copy.

If she is ruthless, it is not impossible to take down the Left Prime Minister Wang Anlin.

It's just that Zuoxiang Wang Anlin is the elder of the three dynasties, the minister of the Fengqi Kingdom, and his disciples are highly respected all over the world.

The forces behind it are intertwined, as the saying goes: if one pulls one hair, the whole body will be moved.

But let her let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity like this, and she is a little unwilling.

In desperation, she sent someone to call for a few staff members, and also asked someone to guard the courtyard so that no one would see it.

It was only then that the door of the study was closed, Zhuo Hanshan had already noticed it because of his delicate thoughts.

"Master Yan, what happened?"

Sitting in front of the table, Yan Pei shouted, "You guys take a look at this first, and then we'll talk about it in detail."

Zhuo Hanshan took the letter and circulated it to his two colleagues. He read the letter relatively quickly. He finished reading it and his colleagues still had two or three pages to read.

His point of view is exactly the opposite of Yan Pei's. After thinking for a moment, he organized his words and said, "Master Yan, I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If it works well, it can not only overthrow the leftist prime minister, but also wipe out his henchmen." eradicate."

"Although that is the case, there is too much involvement behind it." She said with some distress.

Zuo Yu, on the other hand, pinched his words: "Perhaps Lao Zhuo's idea is feasible."

Seeing the three pairs of eyes looking at him in confusion, Zuo Yu cleared his throat in embarrassment, "I received some news from the palace this morning that Concubine Wen Gui is pregnant."

"This relationship with the empress has always been tense."

The words were not too clear, but the other three people could hear the meaning.

Concubine Wen Gui is the granddaughter of Zuo Prime Minister Wang Anlin. Once a prince is born, with Wang Anlin's means, how can the throne of Fengqi Kingdom fall into the hands of others.

At that time, the imperial concubine will take the throne, and the eldest son she will give birth to will be the most honorable crown prince.

After thinking this through, the corners of Yan Pei's mouth turned up, showing a beautiful arc, "I think Zuo Xiang is used to being lawless, and I seem to have forgotten a little bit."

"The emperor will not allow it. The prince's biological mother's family is too powerful."

Zhuo Hanshan also stroked his goatee and smiled lightly: "Even if His Majesty loves Concubine Wen Gui terribly, the ending of Zuo Xiangfu will not change in the slightest."

"Although our Majesty is young and affectionate, he also knows who should belong to the world of Fengqi Kingdom."

"My lord Yan, I suggest that you make Prime Minister Zuo worse off, and deal with him well."

"Even if Your Majesty doesn't want to deal with him now, you still have to leave a thorn in His Majesty's heart."

"Let Your Majesty feel sick every time he sees that old guy."

Several people couldn't help laughing when they heard the words, and Yan Pei even pointed at him and laughed and cursed: "You really have a bad stomach, and you have no good intentions."

"My lord is wise." Zuo Yu and Mian Hulu Guanglu said in unison.

"Okay, Guanglu, even you have followed him, uncle has loved you for nothing all these years." He pretended to be heartbroken and said.

Guanglu smiled shyly and said nothing, Zuo Yu hugged his shoulder affectionately and said with a smile: "Our little Guanglu just has eyesight, we will hang out with brother from now on, and brother will protect you."

The three fought for a while, and continued to discuss detailed countermeasures with Yan Pei.

The author has something to say: My aunt is dying of pain, I will update one chapter first, and the remaining chapter will be reissued tomorrow or the day after tomorrow depending on the situation.
