Turning the tide in the Red Chamber

Chapter 142 [142] Zhou Guiren
On the other side, the old man was taken into Jinyiwei Prison.

Facing the impending torture, the old man forcefully bit the poison sac hidden in the root of his tooth.

However, in the next moment, a Jin Yiwei suddenly pinched his mouth and poured two bottles of liquid.

"Thinking to commit suicide? Dreaming!"

Another Jin Yiwei sneered and said:
"Until you spit out the truth, you don't even want to die!"

"Cough!" The old man coughed violently from choking.

"You, what did you serve me?"

"The antidote!" Jin Yiwei said coldly.

Another Jin Yiwei shouted and asked: "Be honest, who is the mastermind in this matter?"

Hearing this, the old man gave him a contemptuous glance, how could he tell him such a thing?
"Don't tell me, right? Don't think that if you don't tell us, we won't have anything to do with you!"

The next moment, he was severely whipped.

After screaming for a while, the old man softened, and mumbled:
"Yes, it's my master."

The old man gritted his teeth and wanted to cover his mouth, but found that his body couldn't lift his strength no matter what.

He didn't want to betray his master, but he didn't want to be tortured again.

Jin Yiwei asked coldly: "Say it earlier, and you won't have to suffer torture. Who is your master? What identity? Who are you?"

As soon as these words came out, the old man was silent for a moment.

Jin Yiwei whipped him a few more times.

The old man's eyes revealed a terrified look, and he couldn't hold on any longer, and confessed everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans:
"My master is Zhou Guiren, my name is Lu Linxun, and I am a close servant of Prince Zhongshun."

Lu Linxun's eyes were about to burst into flames. He wanted to bite off his tongue, but Jin Yiwei pinched his cheek, preventing him from doing so.

At this time, Jia Chen walked in from the outside and said with a sneer:

"Closer? This is a pity. If Prince Zhongshun succeeds in usurping the throne, then you will be the current Inner Minister, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Linxun looked at Jia Chen as if he was looking at a demon.

How did this young man know that Prince Zhongshun wanted to usurp the throne?
Seeing the surprise in the other party's eyes, Jia Chen said coldly:
"Then next, tell me everything you know, such as your plan, who you secretly have, what means you have, how you communicate with each other, etc."

The old man bowed his head in silence, how dare he say such important information?
Once these are leaked out, what greets them will be infinite killings!
This is fatal, and even be executed by the whole family.

Because Zhou Guiren participated in the retrograde murder of the prince.

He can't say it, and he can't say it even if he dies!

However, the current situation is stronger than human beings, and in the hands of these vicious and ruthless Jin Yiwei, even a stone has to speak obediently.

Although the old man's will was extremely firm, the torture made his mouth extremely honest, and he told little by little everything he knew.

Jia Chen sneered and said:

"Look, you are still very cooperative!"

You monster!You devil!
Now that the matter has come to an end, Lu Linxun's heart is full of sadness and remorse, tears of remorse flow out of his eyes, he really regrets, they really shouldn't have shot this evil spirit, Jia Chen!
This is a guy with great wisdom and close to demon!

You really shouldn't be your enemy.

You really shouldn't provoke him!
However, it is too late to regret now.

It seems that he is going to die, and Zhou Guiren is going to die too!
Although he was crying, his mouth didn't stop.

The feeling of being whipped was worse than beheading his head directly.

After a long time, his mouth finally finished everything.

It's over, it's over.

Now, Lu Linxun was lying on the ground, feeling as if dying of grief, and only hoped that Jia Chen and Jin Yiwei would give him a happy ending and save him from this hellish torture.

Jia Chen touched his chin and said:
"That's right, you actually have such strength in the dark, whether it's in the army, in the court, or in the harem, there are people from you."

Zhou Guiren and Prince Zhongshun are indeed very powerful, even slightly better than the founding Xungui lineage.

At this time, Lu Linxun was lying there numbly, like a dead person.

He is not dead, but his heart is already dead.

In this situation, Jia Chen said with a meaningful smile:

"You said, should I take over all these forces in your name?"

What a bold idea!
Lu Linxun looked at him in horror, this is a monster!If it is true, they have worked so hard for so many years to make a wedding dress for Jia Chen?
What exactly does Jia Chen want to do? ?
Jia Chen smiled thoughtfully and said:

"It seems like a good idea, but it's just a joke."

Jia Chen reported all this to Emperor Chongrui.

Emperor Chongrui asked Jia Chen to lead someone to take Lu Linxun to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and asked Dai Quan to call Zhou Guiren over to confront him in court.

Emperor Chongrui looked at Lu Mingxun who was kneeling under the imperial steps, and said coldly:
"Grandpa Lu, are you safe?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Mingxun's face turned pale, and Zhou Guiren beside him also turned pale, panicked.

Emperor Chongrui asked sharply:

"Be honest, where is the second prince now?"

Lu Mingxun tremblingly said:

"Reporting to His Majesty, the slaves don't know."

Emperor Chongrui said with a gloomy face:

"Forget it, it seems that there is no way to get something out of your mouth, so let's go die."

Lu Mingxun repeatedly kowtowed and said:

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

Emperor Chongrui said coldly:

"You were instigated by someone to murder the prince, and you deserve death! Someone, push it out and chop it up!"

Lu Mingxuan knew that he was doomed, he suddenly laughed hysterically and said:

"Hahahaha! Why are you afraid of death? You bastard who killed brothers! I will wait for you in hell! Hahaha!"

These words hit Emperor Chongrui's weakness.

There have always been rumors in Dazhou that Emperor Chongrui had murdered his elder brother before he had the chance to become emperor.

Although it is a rumor that catches the wind and shadows, there is no wave without wind.

When Emperor Chongrui heard this, he was furious, blowing his beard and staring.

Seeing that his reaction was so extreme, Jia Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. It seems that Lu Mingxun's words are somewhat believable. Emperor Chongrui had indeed murdered his elder brother.

Since ancient times, in order to ascend to the throne, the princes have no brotherhood, they are fighting to the death.

Emperor Chongrui was so annoyed that he sternly shouted:
"Why are you still standing there? Push him out and chop him up!"

"Yes!"

Two guards rushed up and dragged Lu Mingxun out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"what--"

Soon, there was a scream outside the hall.

Obviously, Lu Mingxun had already had his head chopped off.

Emperor Chongrui looked at Zhou Guiren, and asked coldly:
"Bitch, your subordinates have been punished, and you still haven't recruited them?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Guiren was so scared that his face turned pale and he collapsed to the ground.

Emperor Chongrui asked:

"Where is the second prince now? Quickly recruit, if you don't recruit, I will destroy you all!"
