The emperor always wants to promise himself

445 Escape 2
In the dark and damp prison, Hua Ye was sitting on a large armchair, looking down at the four people kneeling on the ground with indifferent expression.

His eyelashes were too long, and when they fell down, they cast a small shadow under his eyes, making him appear lazy and careless.

It was difficult to tell who he was looking at for a while, or maybe no one was watching.

Lin He stood beside him, expressionless, coupled with the gloomy light, he looked like a ghost messenger next to Hades.

The rest of the jailers lined up on both sides with various instruments of torture in their hands. The whip in one man's hand was still dripping blood, forming a small pool of blood on the ground.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." The crying female voices came and went, occasionally mixed with heavy and irregular panting.

A young eunuch was carried over just after being tortured, and was thrown on the ground, his back was ripped open.

Seeing that there is more air intake and less air output, it may be dead if you try again.

"The prince said that he was only responsible for picking up and delivering the bedding, and he didn't know anything else."

Hearing the jailer's words, Hua Ye slowly raised his eyelids, and glanced at the five people kneeling on the ground. They were obviously a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, but when they looked at them, they made people shudder. The three maids were frightened. Jumping, they all lowered their heads.

"He's already like this, are you still recruiting?" Hua Ye's voice sounded lightly in the prison, with a faint echo.

After waiting for a while and no one answered, the lantern suddenly exploded, and the flame jumped slightly. The afterglow fell into Hua Ye's eyes, and he smiled suddenly. That smile was even brighter than the candlelight, shaking people away. Do not open your eyes.

Lin He's scalp tightened, knowing that his master was about to get angry, so he quickly lowered his head.

"Very good, you have the backbone, don't you even say it? Someone--drag them down and torture them separately. Whoever recruits first will spare his life, and kill those who don't."

Hua Ye stood up from the chair as he said that, with a tall body, he said: "Immediate execution." Then he turned and wanted to leave.

"Did you hear that? I advise you not to toast and eat fine wine. Even if you are beaten to death, no one will care about your life."

The jailer flicked his whip, threatening them.

A maid's eyes rolled around, looking at this, then at that, seeing that Hua Ye was about to go out, and the jailers surrounded her, she suddenly shouted loudly: "My lord! This servant confesses, I beg my lord to forgive me, Spare your servant!"

Hua Ye paused and turned around to look at her, "Have you made up your mind?"

"Your maidservant has made up her mind, I beg the lord to give this maidservant a chance, my maidservant is also temporarily obsessed with ghosts, there is nothing I can do!"

The maid knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Hua Ye, the sound of "dong dong dong" echoed in the empty prison, like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's hearts.

Hua Ye stood silently for a moment, turned around and walked back, sat down in the armchair, and waved to the jailer beside him. The jailer understood, and immediately stepped forward with a pen and paper.

"Lin He, write down everything she said and ask her to sign it."

"Yes!" Lin He took the pen and paper and sat down on a small table beside him.

Seeing this, the maid raised her head and said tearfully: "This servant is a maid of the Weaving Department. She is usually in charge of His Majesty's clothes and bedding. This servant has never thought of harming His Majesty. But one day, a person came to this servant and used the slave's younger brother's Threatened servants with life, if slaves don't do what they say, they will kill slaves' younger brother."

"My servant's parents have passed away a long time ago, and my servant has only one relative. He has been dependent on him since childhood. He is only ten years old. He even pointed out that my servant made money to help him start a family. requirements."

"Who is the 'that person' you speak of?"

Hua Ye lightly buckled the armrest of the chair, the maid trembled, and mumbled, "I don't know, that man covers his face every time he comes, and he can only be distinguished from his figure and voice as a young and strong man." He is very skilled, he should know martial arts."

"With such a little clue, how can we catch someone? If you only know this bit of information, it's useless to keep you." Hua Ye looked at her with his head propped on one hand, with a faint expression.

"No, no, no! The servant knows how to contact him. If the prince wants to arrest someone, the servant can help him."

The palace girl was afraid that Hua Ye would think she was useless, so she was dragged out and chopped up, and she told everything she knew like a bean in a bamboo tube.

"Every time that man sees the servant, he asks the servant to go to a place. That place is very remote, and only the servant knows."

Hua Ye raised his eyebrows, "Then how are you sure he will definitely come?"

"That person should live nearby. The servants have gone. As long as the stove in the room is lit to let the smoke float out, the person will come over when he sees it."

Hua Ye bent her lips, "Okay, someone here will take her down to freshen up, use her as a bait, lure that person into the bait, and catch her in one fell swoop."

"Yes!" Lin He responded and waved his hands at the two eunuchs. Immediately, someone stepped forward to support the maid and took her away.

"My lord, the remaining people..." The jailer pointed to the other four people kneeling on the ground.

Hua Ye said: "Close them first, don't allow them to contact anyone, so as not to leak the news, let them out after the matter is over."

"Yes."

……

Hua Ye was busy arresting people here, and he couldn't go back to the palace, so he asked Lin He to go back and say that he would not go back tonight.

Lin He didn't know what he was doing so extravagantly, but he still had to follow the master's orders. When he returned to the palace, it was almost dark. He walked all the way to Xiao Yu's courtyard, and saw Yu Chen standing outside, Leaning against a big tree in a daze.

"Why are you standing here? Why don't you go in? Where's the prince?"

Hearing his voice, Yu Chen turned his head slowly, and glanced at him with little interest, "Why are you back?"

"You child, I asked you first, and you answered my question first."

Lin He walked up to him and stood still, glanced in the direction of the main house, saw the light inside and asked curiously: "What is the prince doing in there? Could it be that he is taking a bath, so you dare not go in?"

"What are you thinking about? I just don't want to go in and get in the way of the prince's eyes. She's not very happy these days. What am I going in for? To disturb her?"

Lin He frowned, and asked in a low voice: "Is it because of the chain?"

"Yeah, if it were you, would you be happy?"

Lin He shook his head silently, "If someone dares to treat me like this, I will definitely take his skin off."

Yu Chen sneered and changed his posture.

"Master won't be coming back tonight, let me come and tell the prince, after hearing what you say, I don't know if I should go in or not."

Lin He looked hesitantly at the blurred silhouette on the window paper, feeling a little apprehensive.
