Three days later, Lu Wei died in the prison.

The death of the corpse was extremely tragic. All the nails of the ten fingers were pulled out by the roots, the pipa bone was pierced by an iron hook, the legs were broken, both eyes and tongue were gouged out, and most of the skin was destroyed by the branding iron.

At first glance, it was just a bloody flesh sac, and it was completely impossible to tell who it was.Only by careful identification can one see what Lu Wei looked like before he was alive from the height and physique, the scar on the left face, and the vague outline of the face.

After hearing the news, Prime Minister Zuo brought a few cronies to the prison in a hurry.

When he saw the bloody flesh sac, Prime Minister Zuo couldn't help stomping his feet and said, "Didn't I tell you not to rush to take the life of the land thief?! How can I act like this and explain to His Majesty!"

"Tell me, who did it?!" Zuo Xiang glanced fiercely at all the jailers present.

All the jailers looked at each other, and the leader of the jailers said in a cold sweat, "It should be... Tan Si and the others did it."

Tan Si is the leader in charge of the torture room of the imperial prison. His temperament is different from ordinary people, and he likes to study all kinds of torture.And whenever a torture method is developed, it must be used on prisoners with great interest.

This kind of person should be respected and kept at a distance in other places, but it is suitable to be placed in the punishment room, and the punishment room cannot be separated from people like Tan Si.

After Lu Wei was whipped for the first time, Tan Si was very excited, saying that he had never been under the hands of such a high-ranking person as Yan Wuhou, and that he would try Lu Wei for punishment for everything he said.

Although Zuo Xiang confessed that he wanted to save Lu Wei's life, he also revealed the meaning of mutilating his body.Judging from Tan Si's performance in the past, his subordinates were also well-measured. If they wanted to prevent people from being tortured to death, the leader of the prison guards ignored this matter and let Tan Si do whatever he wanted.

It wasn't until three days later that the leader of the jailer found out that Lu Wei hadn't been back to his cell for three days, and had been staying in the torture room for torture.

The punishment of imperial prison is no small matter.It is difficult for any iron man to bear it for three consecutive days, let alone in the hands of Tan Si.

Feeling something bad, the leader of the jailer led the men to open the torture room, only to find that there was no one inside, only this bloody flesh sac, which had been dead for a long time, was tied to the torture rack by hemp rope!

"So, where is Tan Si?!" Zuo Xiang flicked his robe sleeves and yelled at the jailer leader, "Let him come out to see the truth!"

Lu Wei's death has a lot to do with it, and Prime Minister Zuo knew that he was to blame.But a scapegoat is better than no scapegoat.

Hearing the words, the leader of the jailer's knees softened, and he knelt down towards the left minister with a plop, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Return to the Prime Minister's words, the villain is guilty! Tan Si...Tan Si and the others have already fled in fear of crime, and they have disappeared!"

After all, Prime Minister Zuo is the veteran of the two dynasties. As a senior politician, he has experienced many storms.After listening to the words of the jailer leader, he calmed down instead and let out a bad cry in his heart.

He and the entire party of ministers were obviously plotted against by someone.

Who is the opponent?Is it the Qingliu Party?Upstart party?Lu family?still……

No matter who it is, you must never let the other party succeed!

Zuo made a decisive decision, and said to the jailer leader: "You guys, find a way to quickly cremate the corpse of the thief Lu, and put the ashes in an urn."

The most urgent task is to destroy the corpse, so as to cover up the traces of torture.

He also said to the relatives beside him: "I don't care what method you use, you must immediately create a confession to the truth that the Lu thief confessed to collaborating with the enemy and treason!"

Yes, Lu Wei committed suicide in prison after confessing his guilt.

In this case, although there will still be some people who don't believe it, and it will bring a lot of troubles to the party of honorable ministers, in general, the past has finally been explained.It's a pity... the plan I arranged was completely abolished because of Lu Wei's death.

Zuo Xiang was thinking quickly, when a very familiar voice, with a feeling of laziness, sounded like a zither brushing the strings, suddenly came from the prison gate.

"If I come a step later, will Prime Minister Zuo bring people to destroy the corpse?"

Dressed in crimson gauze and made of white porcelain, surrounded by a group of heavily armored guards, he walked unhurriedly in front of Prime Minister Zuo and stood beside the bloody flesh sac.

In the imperial prison, everyone including the left minister knelt on the ground, their voices chattering, "Your Majesty is here!"

Suddenly someone screamed, "Tan Si!"

The screamer was the leader of the jailer. He was sitting on the ground, trembling all over, and pointed to an armored guard behind the emperor.

Hearing the scream, Prime Minister Zuo looked at the leader of the jailer, then at the armored guard behind the emperor, straightened his body, looked up at Liu Hu in disbelief, and said, "It's Your Majesty, kill him!" Yan Wuhou?"

Although Zuo Xiang didn't know Liu Hu's selfish admiration, he also knew that Liu Hu missed the friendship he grew up with Lu Wei and was unwilling to kill Lu Wei.

It never occurred to him that the one who plotted against him was actually today's emperor!

"Yes." Liu Hu looked down at Zuo Xiang who was kneeling on the ground, and said calmly, "If you don't kill him, how can you overthrow you? Qin Zuoxiang, Qin Taifu, you have been proud of the court for too long ... I don’t know if you still remember, this world’s surname is Liu.”

Hearing this, Prime Minister Zuo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Your Majesty is so cruel."

Usually in the court, he always showed his old love for Lu Wei and his generous appearance, but in order to achieve his own goal, he killed Lu Wei with such a tragic punishment.

"So what." Liu Hu glanced at the bloody flesh sac next to him, with a calm expression, "Everything is worth it."

It's just a dead man, what can he be reluctant to do.

"Your Majesty, you have grown up." Prime Minister Zuo actually showed some relief in his smile, "Old minister... I did lose to Your Majesty this time, and I am not wronged, I am not wronged!"

Zuo Xiang used to be the grand tutor and taught Liu Hu to study. He always thought that although the emperor was smart and eager to learn, he lacked the determination to kill.

He chose to be a strong minister, although there are various reasons, it is fundamentally out of this cognition.But now the facts tell him that he was wrong.

The small, jade-like child in the past has finally defeated him as a gentleman, and is going to regain the supreme power that belongs to the emperor.

However, Liu Hu was impatient to see Prime Minister Zuo again, raised his beautiful red lips, waved to the guards behind him and said, "Take Qin Xingwen and this group of people and hand them over to the third division for interrogation! I want to give it to everyone in the world." , an explanation!"

"Haha, hahaha...Your Majesty, please take the road ahead, and forgive me for not being able to accompany you any longer!"

When Zuo Xiang was dragged out of the imperial prison, he looked up to the sky and laughed endlessly, until a guard stuffed a rag into his mouth, and then he stopped, and two old cloudy tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

Liu Hu watched Zuo Pang and others being captured without a fight, and remembered how he had persecuted him in the court, and couldn't help but secretly mocked in his heart.

Old stuff, who wants your company.
