"Zhou Yuancong, this palace originally looked at the sake of your colleagues in the past, and wanted you to avoid the pain of flesh and skin, but unfortunately you didn't understand the good intentions of this palace. I ask you again, who sent you? Who is the master behind you? If you don't answer, then this palace can only make you suffer. ”

The prince had a headache about Zhou Yuancong's refusal to cooperate, some people are born hard-boned, and they will never open their mouths if they don't suffer a little.

Zhou Yuancong still closed his eyes and hung his head, silent. Anyway, he didn't plan to speak, even if he was punished, he could bear it.

"Humph! Toast without eating and eating penalty wine. Master Gu, as an official of Dali Temple, this interrogation will be handed over to you. ”

After the prince finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of this place, and walked towards the place where the torture instruments were placed in the prison.

The cell boss immediately stepped forward to lead the way, and gave the two jailers who were standing on the sidelines fiercely. One of the jailers immediately came to his senses and trotted to the other side.

Gu Chengyu sighed, "Bring him out!" ”

In fact, he was very resistant to punishment, after all, cutting meat with a blunt knife was really unbearable. If he was to be killed with a sword and not tortured, there was nothing he could not do.

It's just that in this interrogation, if the prisoners resolutely resist, after the torture instruments are up, what awaits them is a terrible scream.

This is not only a physical and mental destruction of the prisoner, but also a test of the interrogator's character.

How many people face this situation without changing their colors? Unless they are fierce by nature, or have become accustomed to it.

Soon, Zhou Yuancong tied two jailers to a wooden shelf. I don't know how many people's blood was soaked in this wooden shelf. The original yellow wood has now turned a dark red, and it looks like it will never dry out.

The prince sat on the chair brought by the jailer, and pointed at Gu Chengyu at the two jailers who were at a loss, "You listen to Lord Gu." ”

The jailer immediately turned his attention to Gu Chengyu, and Gu Chengyu had no choice but to say to them: "According to the process of interrogation in the past, let's go over it first, isn't this what you are used to?" ”

The two jailers looked at each other when they heard this, and one of them took a whip soaked in salt water and whipped it towards Zhou Yuancong.

With a breaking sound, the whip struck Zhou Yuancong's body, making a crisp sound.

Zhou Yuan was silent from the point of urgency. This was the first whip, and he learned the power of this whip.

The two officials are veterans, and they are accustomed to this, so they naturally will not show mercy to them.

Besides, there are the prince and Lord Gu staring at them, how dare they release a trace of water? Even swinging the whip is more desperate than before.

Then the entire cell was filled with the sound of whips, which frightened You Shaofeng on the other side to the point that his heart and liver were trembling.

He was already very scared, but when he heard the voice, he immediately collapsed to the ground.

Xia Qing's face was also slightly unnatural, and his originally calm face showed a hint of panic.

After six or seven whips in a row, Gu Chengyu looked at Zhou Yuancong, whose head was drooping, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

No matter how patient you are, even if you can withstand such a few whips, you still have to snort at least.

After all, the human body is not made of steel, and it naturally hurts if it has flesh and blood.

This Zhou Yuancong didn't even say a word, which shows the firmness of his mind.

After five more lashes in a row, the official saw that the tattered body did not continue to tremble, and expected that the man must have fainted.

The prince covered his mouth and nose, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

One of the officials stepped forward and pulled Zhou Yuancong's hair, and found that the person had indeed fainted. He turned back to Gu Chengyu and asked, "My lord! This man has fainted, but is he going to wake him up? ”

Gu Chengyu nodded, this interrogation was naturally cruel, and it was impossible to wait for the other party to regain his breath.

A servant beside him had already prepared a bucket of water, and with a bang, poured it on Zhou Yuancong's head.

I saw that after the other party's originally gray hair was wet with water, it gradually revealed its original appearance. The silver-white water flowed down his body, and a messy black hair was wet against his cheeks, and only then did the prince see the other party's face clearly, but it was Zhou Congyuan.

Zhou Yuan groaned unconsciously, he lifted his heavy eyelids, and saw a figure sitting a foot away from the gap in his forehead.

His eyes were a little blurry, and he couldn't see it really, but he knew that the person must be the crown prince.

"My lord! This can't be fought anymore, why don't you change the way? "The official knows that this person is very important, flesh and blood, and he can't bear to be beaten like this.

If someone is beaten to death, the prince and Lord Gu will blame it, and they can't afford to bear it.

"Then let's do it another way!" Gu Chengyu looked at Zhou Yuancong's gaze without waves, he remembered the person he saw in front of the teahouse today, and expected that this person must be related to Zhou Yuancong.

Since the answer is about to be revealed, the interrogation of Zhou Yuancong is not so important. In fact, he had already guessed who this person was, but he couldn't be sure until there was no evidence.

He turned to look at the prince, but still decided to keep his guess to the bottom of his heart. Whether that person will be implicated depends on whether Zhou Yuancong can bear it.

And he didn't want Zhou Yuancong to confess at the moment, which was not good for him.

If you wait for the prince to eradicate all the dissidents, then you should concentrate on dealing with yourself.

Only by maintaining the current state will the crown prince have to rely on himself, and the situation can reach the so-called balance.

Just like the emperor supported himself to fight against Xia Qing, he was too weak before, so he could only become a pawn in the emperor's hands.

But now that the emperor has died, he personally sent the handle to himself before he died. If you don't make good use of it, wouldn't you be sorry for the emperor's trust in you?

Because of the sharp sword on his head that might fall at any time, the prince naturally didn't dare to be too rampant.

But if all those who are threatening are eradicated, then this sharp sword will become a rotten blunt knife, and there will be no threat to the crown prince.

How could he allow that to happen? At least for now, he will definitely not let the prince start to sit back and relax so early.

In fact, if the prince had treated him sincerely, he would not have been so calculating. But he felt that the prince didn't trust him enough, and the degree of suspicion was not much worse than that of the emperor.

Besides, the prince's ears are so soft that people pinch him twice, so he wants to transfer him to a bitter cold place like the border pass to waste the years, how can he rest assured that he is planning for the prince?

As for swearing allegiance to the death, the liver and brain are smeared? None of this exists, is he such a person? He's just a selfish person after all!

There were some thoughts in his heart, so he didn't care so much about interrogating Zhou Congyuan.
