The captured slave struggled desperately, but was tied up tightly by the guards. He could not move and could only shout "Wuwuwuwu."

The guard forced the slave to kneel down and replied, "Master, we will definitely hand this escaped slave over to the Ministry of Justice and let them deal with him properly. Don't worry, we will never let him get away."

Duke Liu looked at the plaque of the Princess's Mansion, curled his lips slightly, turned his head and said to the guards beside him, "Keep an eye on the Princess's Mansion. No living creature can leave the Princess's Mansion. Wait for the Ministry of Justice to take over. Take these 20 people and send this escaped slave to the Ministry of Justice prison with me."

The prince consort, who was pretending to be a servant on the ground, opened his eyes wide and stared at Duke Liu fiercely, "Wuwuwu, wuwuwu, wuwuwu," and struggled harder. His body was covered with dust, but it was useless. Instead, he was pressed by the guards until his face was pressed to the ground.

A trace of calculation flashed in Duke Liu's eyes. "Let's go, send this runaway slave to the prison of the Ministry of Justice and punish him severely. Tie him to the back of a horse and drag him around. Let everyone in the city see the end of this runaway slave and see who dares to be a runaway slave in the future."

"Yes, sir, we'll go and tie him up right away." Several guards tied the prince consort to the back of a horse. One of the guards climbed onto the horse and whipped it, and the horse started running.

Duke Liu looked at the prince consort who was being dragged away, a strange smile appeared on his face, "I can't kill you, I was just thinking about how to deal with you, and you bump into me, it's good, so I don't have to do anything." After saying that, he patted his horse gently, followed behind, looking at the miserable appearance of the prince consort, he felt very happy.

The people nearby stepped back when they saw this scene. "What's going on? Why is he being dragged away? His legs are going to be broken!"

"This servant saw that the Princess's residence was surrounded and tried to escape, but was caught by the Duke. He is now being taken to the Ministry of Justice. I just saw him being caught."

"Why is this slave running away? Didn't the others run away? I'm afraid he has done something wrong. He deserves it."

"Who knows? He deserves it. The Duke is such a kind person, but he is so angry. He really deserves to be beaten."

"I think he is just guilty, otherwise why would he run away!"

"That's right! He deserves a beating." He said and threw a rotten vegetable leaf.

Now, rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were thrown at the prince consort.

The prince consort felt pain and nausea. He wanted to curse but couldn't. He was so angry.

When Duke Liu heard these words and saw these dirty things, he didn't react at all. He just followed behind with the knife tightly held, fearing that someone would come to snatch the person away. He was happy as long as the person couldn't escape.

Everyone arrived at the gate of the Ministry of Justice prison safely.

Duke Liu dismounted and ordered, "Drag him in. This disloyal fugitive should be thoroughly interrogated to see if he is related to the assassination case. He ran away as soon as something happened in the princess's mansion. It would not be too much to kill him."

The head of the prison in the Ministry of Justice, upon seeing Duke Liu and his men coming over, said, "Duke, why are you here? Who is this? Why is he so dirty!" He subconsciously took a step back.

Duke Liu said, "This is a runaway slave from the princess's mansion. I'll bring him here for interrogation to see if he has anything to do with the assassination. Prepare a torture chamber for me so I can interrogate him thoroughly."

The prison boss lowered his head and said respectfully, "Come with me, I'll take you there. The largest torture chamber is at the back, and it's used to interrogate stubborn people."

Duke Liu nodded, and with a few guards, he dragged the dirty prince consort inside.

After passing through the dark prison cells and arriving at the innermost torture room, several guards tied the prince consort to the torture rack.

Duke Liu yawned lightly and sneered, "You bastard, nothing happened in the princess's mansion yet and you dare to run away? You are so capable! I'll teach the princess a lesson." After that, he picked up the horse whip dipped in salt water and whipped the prince consort hard. Seeing that he was shaking with pain, he was unwilling to stop.

"You are smart. You even knew to run out the back door. You are good!"

"You run, but now you can't run anymore."

"Run! What's the matter? You can't run away!"

Duke Liu walked closer and saw the human skin mask on the Prince Consort's face. He smiled evilly and said, "You, you traitor, have you teamed up with outsiders to murder the princess? You deserve to die! I can beat you to death."

The Prince Consort blocked his mouth and said, “Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo.”

Duke Liu smiled and said, "I knew you wouldn't tell me. I'm a kind person. Don't worry, you won't suffer too much. If you don't tell me, I won't force you to death." After saying that, he picked up the scissors beside him and waved them in front of the Prince Consort. "Hey (?o﹏o?), go to the palace to do some work. It's a good place, isn't it? Many people beg for it but can't get in. Look at me. I don't even want to kill you. How kind I am."

The prince consort was so frightened that his forehead was covered with sweat, his whole body was trembling, and he kept shrinking back, "Wuwuwuwu, wuwuwuwu, wuwuwuwu."

"Okay, I know, you don't have to thank me." How could I let you go after you hurt my daughter, huh.

After saying that, he smiled, took the scissors, cut one, and then threw away the bloody scissors in his hand. "Oh, it's too dirty, don't..."

“Wuwuwuwuwuwuwu, ahhhh. I…” Before I could finish my sentence my mouth was blocked again.

Duke Liu was displeased. "Hey, be careful. Throw this thing out to feed the dogs. Don't pollute this cell. It's all blood. How unclean!"

The jailer was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. "Okay, sir. I'll go right away."

Duke Liu turned to look at the prince consort and said, "What are you shouting about, you slave? How come you don't know the rules? I'm doing this out of kindness and sparing your life. Let me treat your wounds so you can get better soon, right?" After saying that, he picked up the red-hot iron beside him and walked forward gently. There was a hissing sound and a smell of barbecue wafted up.

The prince consort cried out in pain, “Wuwuwu, wuwuwu, wuwuwu.”

Duke Liu then threw away the branding iron and said, "You guys take care of the rest. You are not allowed to stop until this fugitive confesses clearly. His Majesty has issued an order to thoroughly investigate the assassination of the princess."

The jailer saluted and said, "My Lord, just wait and see. We will interrogate him thoroughly and make him confess clearly."

"We will definitely not let you down." After saying that, he walked forward with a whip soaked in salt water, and whipped the Prince Consort again and again. "Tell me or not? If you don't, I'll kill you."

"You're quite stubborn. You won't even say this."

The prince consort raised his head and sobbed, "Woo, woo, woo, woo."

The jailer pretended not to see anything, holding the whip and wielding it slowly. "Alas (?o﹏o?), you'll suffer more if you keep your mouth shut."

"Suffer more and you will remember it longer."

The guards beside him brought a chair and placed it behind Duke Liu. "Master, please sit down. It's so tiring to stand. I'm afraid it won't take a while to finish the trial. Please sit down and watch."

Duke Liu nodded, leaned back in his chair, and stared fiercely at the bound prince consort, his eyes full of malice. Even if His Majesty let you go in the end, you're done for. He has never seen a eunuch who could become a prince consort. It will be easy to kill you in the future.
