When a passerby becomes a princess

The public executions in Daliang State are generally beheading, and the heinous ones are cut in half. For many people, beheading in half is terrible. Only half of the people are left, screaming and crawling around dragging blood donations and viscera all over the floor. It seems that in this way, pain and death can be avoided.

But the court lady just pursed her lips after hearing Liang Honglie's words, and said: "Back to the emperor, the murder of the empress was done by the servant alone, and no one ordered it."

Liang Honglie sneered, and glanced at Wang Qian, who immediately had the maid dragged aside and beaten.Wang Qian stretched out three fingers to the executioner, which meant that only the skin and flesh were injured, not the inner abdomen.The executioner understood it, and beat him until his skin was ripped apart, and his clothes were stained with blood, but the sound of crying pain did not diminish at all.

Liang Xi stood behind and did not speak. When Liang Honglie was present, there was really no place for him to speak.But now that his mother was murdered, she would look half-dead in the future, just thinking about it would almost set Kunning Palace on fire with anger in his heart.

Seeing that the maid was beaten half to death, but still refused to reveal the person behind the scenes, Liang Xi clenched his fists fiercely, and his resentful eyes turned to the group of numb, sneering, or complacent concubines below. After a circle, they finally stopped on Concubine Qin and Concubine Feng. Those who had the ability to inject the medicine into Empress Chu's oxytocin were the only two people in the harem now.

"Father, can I have a few words with that maid?" Liang Xi stepped forward and said.

Liang Honglie glanced at him and nodded.As for whether Liang Xi could find out anything, Liang Honglie didn't have too much hope. In the harem, there were countless concubines who died inexplicably every year, and there was never a time when the truth could be found out.Empress Chu is his first wife, the woman he loves the most. Even if the person behind the scenes cannot be found out, he hopes to give them a warning by investigating the case and stop hurting Empress Chu and the new little prince.

Liang Xi didn't know what Liang Honglie was thinking. He walked up to the court lady step by step, but he was thinking about a book written by Lin Qiu a few days ago, titled "Ten Tortures".

At that time, after Liang Xi finished reading the book, his feet were almost too weak to stand up from the stool. He tremblingly asked why Lin Qiu wrote this thing, and Lin Qiu looked at him with those crystal-clear eyes, which was very natural. It is said that this is what Jin Yiwei will use when interrogating prisoners in the future.Liang Xi felt chills all over his body when he looked at him, and it took him a long time to ask Lin Qiu, did you come up with this?Lin Qiu shook his head and told him that it was Man Qing's idea.

Liang Xi didn't know who Man Qing was. At that time, he only thought that this person was too scary, but now he really wanted to catch the person behind the scenes, and let that person try the ten tortures from beginning to end.

When the executioners saw Liang Xi approaching, they all stopped and stood aside.

Liang Xi looked down at the court lady, took a deep breath first, and said: "Father said that he would cut your family members in half. After the voice change period, his voice has the unique clarity of youth, but the hatred caused by his mother's murder made his voice mixed with a trace of coldness, which made people shudder.

The maid raised her head and glanced at him, is it kind to cut him in half?This is already the most vicious criminal law in Daliang Kingdom, right?

Liang Xi said slowly: "Do you know what the punishment of skinning is? First, dig a sandpit and bury the person in it, leaving only the head outside. Mercury is poured in from the opening, and the mercury will slowly seep in until the skin of the whole body is separated from the body. But don't worry, the person who is executed will never die even though he has no skin and exposed red, white and white flesh .”

The maid looked at Liang Xi in horror, like looking at an evil ghost.

Liang Xi smiled slightly, and said, "Older people have loose skin and are more suitable for skinning. Are your grandparents still there?"

"No!" The court lady stared at Liang Xi viciously, and shouted: "They are all gone!"

"Oh, that's such a pity." Liang Xi sighed, and continued: "Do you know what is called a human pig? It is to cut off a person's nose, ears, tongue, hands and feet, and then soak them until they are full of tonic. In the potion pot, those who live without disease and disaster until they are [-] years old, this kind of criminal law is most suitable for children, because children will grow up, and when they grow up, they will just get stuck in the pot and can't move anywhere except their head. Isn't it fun? Do you have younger siblings?"

Afterwards, Liang Xi talked about several tortures such as lingering, pumping intestines, and grooming. Following Liang Xi's explanation, the open space in front of Kunning Palace was silent, and everyone couldn't help but tighten their necks. It was as if immersed in a thousand-year cold pool, so frozen that he couldn't even shudder.Not only the concubines and palace servants below, but also Liang Honglie sitting above felt terrified. He even stared at Liang Xi's shadow for a long time, wanting to confirm whether the person in front of him was his own son or a ghost pretending to be.

Even the spectators were so frightened, let alone the court lady who faced Liang Xi. Before Liang Xi could finish "washing up", she had completely collapsed. She kowtowed while crying, "His Royal Highness, you It’s useless even if I’m chopped into meat, I can’t say it, she captured my whole family, as long as I tell her to come out, my whole family will die. You kill me, you kill me... ..."

Liang Xi looked at her coldly, until she almost fainted from crying, then squatted down and said lightly: "Do you think that if you don't speak out, your family can save their lives?" Although the tone was flat, but that In the plain but extremely cold.

The maid who had been crying so much that she was almost unconscious suddenly raised her head, her mouth was slightly open, she was too frightened to speak.

Liang Xi continued: "If I was the person behind the scenes, after you die, I will kill your family members immediately, lest they reveal their words in the future. There is a saying that only the dead can keep secrets." He said, He raised his head abruptly, looked at Concubine Feng with his dark eyes under the flickering light, and said, "Are you right? Concubine Feng."

Listening to Liang Xi's explanation, Concubine Feng felt as if a door had opened in front of her. It turned out that there were so many fascinating tortures, and it turned out that it was not enough to just make people cry, it was okay.Thinking about what she did before, it was really too simple and rude. It turns out that torturing people can be like an art. That sentence deeply moved her. She looked at Liang Xi obsessively, and regarded him as a Her confidant, so when this confidant asked her, she didn't even hear what she was asking clearly, she nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, that's right."

It was getting late at night, and the wind was getting colder and colder. In front of Kunning Palace, there was only the sound of the surrounding torches being blown by the wind.

"I said!" Before Concubine Feng could understand what she said, the maid who was already dying suddenly shouted hoarsely: "It is the medicine that Concubine Feng asked me to take! She arrested my whole family and threatened me. If she doesn't do what she says, she's going to kill my whole family."

"What?!" Concubine Feng turned pale with anger, and regardless of the fact that she was still pregnant, she jumped up and shouted loudly: "You lowly servant girl, how dare you slander me! Come on, give me This palace beat this nonsense lowly servant girl to death!"

It's a pity that this is not the place where she lives, let alone the Feng Mansion, where the emperor sits, no one will listen to her instructions.

After shouting for a while, she found that everyone was staring at her, she panicked, and quickly turned to Liang Honglie, showing an aggrieved expression, and said: "Your Majesty, she wronged my concubine, and my concubine loves the queen so much, so why? Will it harm the queen? The emperor wants to be the master of his concubines, the emperor~" I have to say that Concubine Feng is really a rare beauty. At this time, her eyes are full of tears, just like the crabapple after the rain. people.

It's a pity that Liang Honglie was not an emperor who liked beauties very much, and he was furious because of the murder of Empress Chu. If it wasn't because Concubine Feng was still pregnant with his own flesh and blood, he might have killed her on the spot.

Who knew that at this moment, the maid said again: "The child conceived by Empress Feng is not the emperor's at all."

"What?!" Now Liang Honglie couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up and walked quickly to the maid, and said sharply, "What did you just say? Say it again!"

The palace maid flinched, gritted her teeth, looked into Liang Honglie's eyes, and said: "There is a tunnel in Jingzhu Palace, which can lead all the way to the outside of the palace. Every night, a man comes to have a private meeting with Concubine Feng. The slaves see you." Several times." Jingzhu Palace is where Concubine Feng lives.

After listening to the maid's words, Liang Honglie turned back to Concubine Feng fiercely with a livid face, only to see her standing there blankly, her face suddenly red and white, her eyes turned upwards and she fainted on the ground, with red blood slowly overflowing from her body. When the blood came, she was exposed because of her adultery, and she was so frightened that she had a miscarriage.No one stepped forward to help Concubine Feng, even the people from Jingzhu Palace who were standing behind her shrank into a ball.

"Throw this slut into limbo!" Liang Honglie was trembling with anger. Although he didn't like Concubine Feng's domineering and cruel heart, he still looked forward to the child in her womb. She has always been very conniving, but she never thought that the belly was not his flesh and blood at all. "All the palace people in Jingzhu Palace will be killed!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life!" The Jingzhu Palace palace people who were dragged out cried and begged for mercy. There was such a vicious master, who would dare to control her if she wanted to have an affair, but now she died because of it. In fact, these palace people were wronged.It's a pity that no matter how much they begged, Liang Honglie's eyes were already red with anger, so how could he spare them.They were dragged to the aisle outside the Kunning Palace, and were beaten to death one by one by the guards. The shrill cry came from outside the courtyard wall, causing many people to pee their pants in fright.

When the unconscious Concubine Feng was carried away, Liang Honglie just wanted someone to beat the maid to death, but Liang Xi stepped forward and said, "Father, please don't kill this court lady. My son has some problems and needs to be killed." Ask her again, and put her in jail first."

Liang Honglie glanced at Liang Xi complicatedly, and nodded.
