beggar prince

Listening to the yelling and cursing of other prisoners in the prison, Zhao Yuanjian sat on the haystack, leaned against the wall, and rested with his eyes closed.He wondered who killed Gao Yushi, it was impossible for Axiu to do so, servants and guards in the mansion could not approach Gao Yushi at will, only those around Gao Yushi had the chance to do it.

Qiu Shijun walked into the prison, the prison head unlocked the door, and Zhao Yuanjian opened his eyes to look at him.

He saw Qiu Shijun's complacent and self-satisfied look.

Zhao Yuanjian said: "What wind brought the envoy here?"

Qiu Shijun didn't bow his head, he straightened his neck, lowered his eyes, and squinted at Zhao Yuanjian.He said: "Master Zhao, it's better to confess your guilt earlier, so as not to suffer from flesh and blood."

Zhao Yuanjian stood up, and he snorted coldly: "I have been wronged, what Axiu said is not the truth! Shi Jun should investigate clearly!"

Qiu Shijun said: "Whether it is true or false, the false can become true, and the real can also become false. Your father said that you have been too disobedient for the past four years and have been against him. And he heard that you You have acquired a fortune, and he wants you to give it to him."

Zhao Yuanjian: "You tell him for me, I'll think about it again, tell him not to worry."

Qiu Shijun said: "There is no time. You have to confess in the next few days. If you don't confess, the Queen Mother will check it out and release you."

At this time, an old doctor came in, he bowed to Shijun Qiu, squatted on the ground and spread out the acupuncture bag, and then drew out the needle.

He said, "The prisoner, please get down."

Several masters with strong internal strength came in, dragged Zhao Yuanjian up, pressed him to the ground, and handcuffed him with the strongest steel shackles.He struggled a few times but couldn't resist, these masters have extremely high martial arts skills.

Zhao Yuanjian thought that no matter how painful the punishment is, he must endure it and not be impulsive.If he escaped from prison, he would fall into his father's tricks.

The doctor untied his prison uniform, found several large holes on his body, and began to prick the needles.

Qiu Shijun smiled and said: "Lord Zhao, don't be nervous. I won't torture you. If the queen mother finds out, I will be in trouble. I can only use these other ways to torture you these few days, so that you can't survive. , begging to die."

The doctor got more and more pierced, and Zhao Yuanjian's body was pierced with dense needles, like a hedgehog.

Zhao Yuanjian didn't feel any pain at first, but gradually the doctor stabbed him more and more, he broke out in a cold sweat, felt flustered and short of breath, and wanted to vomit.There was a spasm in his stomach, and he opened his mouth to spit out acid.

Two hours later, he was sweating more and more, as if water was coming out of a wet towel.He was dizzy and flustered, and his eyes were pitch black, like a person on the verge of death due to a heart attack, or as if he was seasick, and his body was jolting non-stop.His whole body seemed to be bitten and devoured by mosquitoes, rats and ants.There were cramps in his stomach, and he couldn't vomit anything, but he still felt nauseated.

Zhao Yuanjian suddenly felt that his heart sank suddenly, as if he had fallen into an abyss, and then beat violently again, so violently that his heart seemed to jump out of his chest.Then the heart sank suddenly, and then the heart beat violently again, over and over again.

Soon his throat seemed to be strangled, and he couldn't breathe for a long time, and it took him a long time to take a few mouthfuls of stale air.He was out of breath again, rolling his eyes and foaming from his mouth.He had gone through this experience more than two dozen times, which left him terrified and gutted.It's a near-death experience that can scare the guts out.

Zhao Yuanjian experienced a feeling ten times worse than torture, and this torture lasted all afternoon.He collapsed into a coma at last, and the doctor pulled out the needle.

Qiu Shijun didn't let him go, and splashed water on him to wake him up.Zhao Yuanjian closed his eyes in torture, his breathing became extremely shallow, and he said, "I will cut you to pieces in the future!"

Qiu Shijun laughed loudly: "Hahahaha... Don't worry, I have other ways to torture you besides this method, and I'll tell you to try it all! Let me tell you for now, I have a set of clematis needles , can stab your internal organs and cause your internal organs to bleed profusely, but you cannot die, you can only be paralyzed for life..."

After Qiu Shijun finished speaking, he left.

Zhao Yuanjian lay weakly on the haystack, looking at the prisoner opposite.The prisoner was being tortured, and the head of the prison beat him for a long time with a soft whip, and the prisoner cried and howled.The head of the prison changed bamboo sticks to clamp the prisoner's hand, which was dripping with blood.

The prisoner passed out and was doused with cold water.The head of the prison took the whip and continued to beat the prisoner. Hearing the crackling sound, Zhao Yuanjian thought that he must get through these few days and never sign a bond.

Wang Zhihe's residence.As soon as Lin Heng entered the room, he knelt down to Wang Zhihe and said, "Master Wang, I beg you, save Yuanjian!"

Wang Zhihe helped him up, and he said: "Your Excellency is kind to me, how can I see death without saving me. I am also trying to find a way all day. The key is to have clues. Let me ask you, Gao Yu On the day Shi was killed, only Axiu was there?"

Lin Heng said: "As soon as we entered, there were people all around. She held a knife in her hand and shouted that I didn't kill it."

Wang Zhihe thought for a while and asked, "Has Wu Zuo done an autopsy?"

Lin Heng replied: "It should not be done by our assistant."

Wang Zhihe said: "Master, don't worry, you go and search for clues, if I can find clues, I can report the matter to the Ministry of Punishment three levels in a row, and ask the Ministry of Punishment to call me to try the case, I will definitely rescue your lord. "

At this time Miao Yishan came in, his face was very ugly, Lin Heng knew something had happened at a glance.

Miao Yishan said: "Master Wang, I went to the gate of the court today to watch the case. I have a hunch that the judge seems to be eager to convict Your Excellency."

After hearing this, Lin Heng took the treasured sword and rushed out towards the door.Miao Yishan hurriedly chased him out, grabbed his wrist, Lin Heng slapped Miao Yishan, Miao Yishan dodged backwards, and kicked Lin Heng's knee with a reflexive kick, knocking Lin Heng to the ground , grabbed his hands.

Lin Heng: "Let go of me, I'm going to save him!"

Miao Yishan took Lin Heng into the house.

Miao Yishan persuaded: "You must be steady, don't assassinate this official, and don't go to jail. If something happens to him, my lord will not be able to tell after a hundred mouthfuls."

Lin Heng shouted: "This won't work, that won't work, what should I do? I'm afraid that Yuan Jian will be beaten and suffer. You don't understand my feelings at all. My heart is going up and down and it's about to break! Brother Miao and I Please take me to prison..."

Miao Yishan persuaded: "I've been watching about the two of you for almost ten years, how can I not understand. But if you continue to be so self-willed, don't blame your subordinates for knocking you unconscious and sending you away, and you will do nothing No way. For the current plan, we must follow Lord Wang to search for clues with all our strength. I have already handed over the letter to Mr. Zhao's cronies, and I believe he will come to rescue Lord within ten days."

Wang Zhihe said: "That's right, master, you should look for clues now, and you should check the body of the deceased first."

Lin Heng cupped his hands and said, "Okay, I'll talk to you when I get back."

In the middle of the night, Lin Heng and Miao Yishan changed into night clothes and black scarves.They sneaked all the way to the gate of the yamen. They saw that there was no one on the street. There were a few yamen servants guarding the door, and not far away were officers and soldiers from the brigade.

Lin Heng thought that he couldn't get in like this, so he had to endure it and waited anxiously for the opportunity.

After waiting for a long time, three arresters came out quickly. Lin Heng and Miao Yishan looked at each other and understood each other.The two of them followed the police and came to a deserted street corner.

The policemen talked dirty jokes and laughed as they walked.One of the officers wanted to make it easy, so he walked around the corner and unbuttoned his trousers to pee, while the other two officers were waiting for him outside.

Lin Heng jumped down from the roof lightly like a cat. He took out a knife, covered the catcher's mouth, and stabbed the main artery in the catcher's neck, killing him.

Lin Heng and Miao Yishan waited in the dark for the two catchers to take the bait.

A catcher shouted: "I said Brother Zhang, are you done yet? Why is it slower than the big girl's bridal chamber hahahaha..."

The two detectives walked into the corner talking and laughing, and they saw the corpse lying on the ground at a glance.Before they could scream, their throats were cut by Lin Heng and Miao Yishan.

Lin Heng and the others hurriedly buried the body, changed into their arresting clothes, and ran to the gate of the yamen quickly.

The yamen guards at the gate were already exhausted, no one looked at Lin Heng and the others carefully, even though they were covered with blood.

Lin Heng walked in directly from the door and walked into the dim room.Lin Heng asked a sleepy yamen servant: "Where is the morgue?"

Yawning, the yamen servant impatiently pointed to the path on the left and said, "Turn right and go to the last room. Don't call me when you come out. I'm trapped to death."

After speaking, he sat down and fell asleep, snoring loudly.

Lin Heng and Miao Yishan quickly ran back, and within a quarter of an hour they flashed into the morgue.Lin Heng searched for a long time to find Gao Yushi's body, he punched the body hard, and cursed: "You damn ghost, you deserve to die!"

Miao Yishan stopped him, and then checked quickly, he felt that Gao Yushi died from the knife wound.He said: "It's like dying from poisoning, and being stabbed after death."

Miao Yishan saw several red rashes on Gao Yushi's neck, so he pricked them with a silver needle, and the rash burst and a little thick oozing out.

Miao Yishan already knew that he had been poisoned, so he hurriedly led Lin Heng out of the room.

At this time, several yamen servants came over and asked, "It's so late, what are you doing here?"

Miao Yishan said: "My lord told me to come and look for the official documents he left behind."

Those yamen servants were extremely sleepy, they didn't think much about it and let them go.

They hurried back to Wang Zhihe's residence.

Miao Yishan said: "Gao Yushi was not killed by a knife, he was poisoned by the Linglong Hongsha in Miaojiang. If you take this poison, you will get a rash on your body and die of poisoning. After taking this medicine, there will be no bleeding from the seven orifices. The horror of death will only cause a severed heart, making people think it is a normal death. Fortunately, with me, ordinary people don't know this kind of strange poison at all."

Wang Zhihe said happily: "This is easy to handle. I will report to the Ministry of Criminal Justice immediately, and I will get an answer within three days. They will let me try your lord's case."

Wang Zhihe asked them to rest at the mansion.When Lin Heng heard that it would take three days, he felt that he couldn't wait any longer, so he picked up the sword again.

Seeing that Lin Heng was about to waver again, Miao Yishan reached out and touched his acupuncture points.Lin Heng cursed angrily: "You fucking let go of me!"

Miao Yishan said: "Offended!"

After speaking, he dragged him into the bedroom, and then called Lei Lie, and the two of them guarded him together.

Lei Lie said: "Madam, don't worry, our hall master is rushing here, he will send people to infiltrate the mansion and take care of your lord, don't worry."

Miao Yishan said: "I asked someone to send a message to the princess, she should be able to help the adults."

Miao Yishan fastened Lin Heng with an iron chain and a bell, and then unlocked his acupoints.Lin Heng turned around and looked at the jade pendant with his ecstatic eyebrows. He heard from Zhao Yuanjian that he had given this jade pendant to him when he was a child.

He thought: Yuanjian, if I can't save you this time, I'll go back to the palace and ask the Queen Mother to save you. Anyway, it's her own.Your father framed you, he is so cruel, I am afraid that you will be murdered before you succeed in rebellion.I should go back to the palace, I will go back and tell the Queen Mother that your father has been controlling me and trying to kill me.Then the queen mother will definitely know that your father intends to rebel.

Miao Yishan and Lei Lie made a bunk on the ground, and they lay on it to guard Lin Heng.

Lin Heng sat up, and he said, "Sleep peacefully, I won't make trouble anymore, you have worked hard with me, I always trouble you, I'm sorry."

Lei Lie said: "Ma'am, if you want to keep your word, my old bones can't stand it anymore."

Lin Heng lay down, his mind was dazed, and he fell into a deep sleep.Miao Yishan just gave him some sleep-worshipping herbs to let him sleep well.

On the third day, Zhao Yuanjian was tortured and lay dying on the ground.The warden came in, dragged him up, and escorted him to the courtroom.

Zhao Yuanjian fell to the ground, unable to stand up.

Qiu Shijun patted the gavel, and he said: "Master Zhao will recruit or not?"

Zhao Yuanjian lay on the ground and said, "I didn't order Axiu to kill people, why should I?"

Qiu Shijun said coldly: "If you don't recruit, you are finished. We found that you have accumulated food and grass, opened shops and accepted money from officials. This is a big taboo of the court. I have reported it to the court. Naturally, someone will come to the court." Come to investigate you, you will be dismissed soon, and after that, your father will..., needless to say, hahahahaha..."

Zhao Yuanjian sat up abruptly: "What did you say?"

Qiu Shijun said: "Take it down!"

Zhao Yuanjian was not tortured again, but confessed with food and drink. It turned out that people from Baihetang mixed in to take care of him.

Zhao Yuanjian thought for a long time, he thought: I just hoarded food and grass, and the food and grass are not enough for the Wei army's rations for a year, I will find some excuses to prevaricate, nothing big will happen.It is not a big mistake to set up shops privately, and the ministers of the DPRK and China also act quietly.I have collected a lot of silver taels, if this matter goes bad, then the prefect of Qin may have to testify in court.With all the incidents and the death of Gao Yushi, the queen mother might be furious and want to investigate herself strictly and reveal the things she committed before.

He was so hungry that he picked up his rice bowl to eat.He wanted to eat and sleep well before making plans.There is really no way, the people of Baihetang can still rescue themselves and take the prince to the Western Regions.When the Xiongnu went to war with the Great Wei, they would have that treasure, so they would not have to worry about having no money to recruit soldiers and horses, and it would not be too late to fight back.

After eating, he squeezed the sachet containing Lin Heng's hair, fell to the ground and fell asleep, sleeping very soundly.
