Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 417 Shocking Secret

Qin Shun came to the imperial prison again.

This time, he did not go to the stinking prison. Instead, he sat in the interrogation room and directly ordered someone to bring Chen Guozi over.

Soon, Chen Guoxin was dragged over by two jailers.

I only saw Chen Guozi now, with scars all over his body and unable to walk on his two legs.

After Chen Guozi was carried over, he was thrown directly to the ground, and then he made a dull sound.

Qin Shun was sitting on it, drinking tea, looking at the embarrassed Chen Guozi, smiling slightly, and then said: "Sir, how are you thinking about it? Should you say it or not?"

Chen Guozi reluctantly supported his body with his hands, then looked at Qin Shun and said in a disdainful tone: "Do you have any other means you can use?"

Qin Shun looked at Chen Guozi and shook his head gently, and then said: "Since the boss said so, then I will use some new methods."

After finishing speaking, Qin Shun clapped his hands, and there was a burst of chaotic sounds outside, and then Chen Guozi's wife was dragged in.

When Chen Guozi saw his wife, there was despair in his eyes.

Then the person was thrown next to Chen Guozi.

When the old woman saw Chen Guozi lying on the ground, she immediately crawled to his side on hands and knees, held Chen Guozi in her arms and cried bitterly.

"How is it? Can we recruit now?" Qin Shun said proudly.

Chen Guozi reluctantly raised his head and glanced at Qin Shun, "It's just death, why bother talking?"

After hearing this, Qin Shun's eyes showed a fierce look, and then he said to the Jinyi soldiers beside him: "Since Mr. Chen said so, let his wife also suffer some physical pain."

The Jin Yijun next to him immediately stepped forward to lift the old lady away, and then tied her to a pillar.

Then a jailer picked up a soldering iron from the hot coals. He then found a piece of paper from his arms and placed it on the surface of the soldering iron. The paper immediately burned.

This was not because he was trying to scare Chen Guozi, but because it was a rule before execution that he should test the temperature of the soldering iron in front of everyone.

Then, he came to the old lady's side with the soldering iron, and without looking, he dropped it directly on her belly.

Then a burst of screams and the smell of burning human bodies rose throughout the cell.

When Chen Guozi, who was lying down below, saw this scene, his eyes turned red and he began to curse Qin Shun.

Regarding Chen Guoxing's curse, Qin Shun just listened with a smile on his face, as if he was saying a compliment.

"Master, are you going to recruit me?" Qin Shun drank tea and looked at the torture below, with a hint of excitement in his expression.

Chen Guozi looked at Qin Shun fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "You will definitely not die well in the future."

"You don't have to worry about it, sir. Now you should worry about your family." Qin Shun didn't pay attention to this kind of curse at all, because he had heard it too many times.

Chen Guoxing no longer looked at Qin Shun, but looked at his wife worriedly.

"Since the boss doesn't want to tell the truth, let him see the good show again."

Following Qingchun's words, the jailers immediately threw down a set of clamping sticks.

Then two people held the old woman down in front, and two more jailers clamped the sticks on the old woman's legs.

After that, both sides exerted force together, and then heard the crunching sound of broken bones. The old woman in front let out a shrill scream and fainted.

Chen Guozi next to him also fainted.

Qin Shun gave a gentle signal, and the jailer behind him immediately brought two basins of water and poured them on each of them.

Then the two couples slowly woke up, but at this time the old woman finally said her first words, "Let me die."

An older cell leader who had been standing silently saw this scene and quickly stepped forward and whispered a few words in Qin Shun's ear.

Qin Shun nodded, and the jailer immediately went to the side to find a medium-sized iron pliers. He came directly in front of the old woman, blocked her mouth, forced her to open her mouth, and then stretched out the iron pliers. He went in and pulled out his tongue in one fell swoop.

The old woman screamed, but there was nothing she could do.

This was to prevent the old woman from biting her tongue and committing suicide.

"Since the clamp stick doesn't work, let's change it to another one." Qin Shun said lightly.

The jailers understood, and then threw another thing in front of Chen Guozi and his wife.

The finger-twisting method is made of "five logs, each seven inches long and five minutes in diameter, with a rope running through it. When applying it, the prisoner's fingers are clamped and tightened quickly.

Then his wife let out an even more miserable scream, but no matter how she screamed, the wooden sticks kept tightening.

At the end, his wife finally passed out again.

This time, Qin Shun did not ask anyone to splash cold water on her to wake her up. Instead, he looked at Chen Guozi and asked, "How is it? Do you want to do anything?"

Chen Guoxin's eyes were almost bleeding now. He glared at Qin Shun and gritted his teeth and said, "It's just death, why bother talking?" Qin Shun shook his head gently, and then said to a little eunuch next to him. After a few words, the little eunuch immediately left the cell. After a while, there was another sound of dragging heavy objects outside, and then Chen Guozi saw his eldest son being dragged in and thrown to the ground.

"Sir, you must have seen it. We have plenty of time and can play slowly."

Then he signaled to the jailers beside him, who immediately stepped forward and tied his eldest son to the pillar, and then used the branding iron first.

His son had been beaten into a coma, but now he woke up immediately when he was hit by the iron, and then he screamed in agony.

Qin Shun finally stood up from his chair at this time. He walked up to Chen Guozi himself and said, "Sir, this is just an appetizer. Next, your relatives may appear in front of you one by one."

After saying this, Qin Shun seemed to have remembered something, and there was a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, "Speaking of Mr. Chen, your granddaughters are all good-looking! Especially the three-year-old little Yaya , she’s even more adorable. You haven’t seen her for a long time. I’ll let you and your grandson meet in a while.”

Chen Guozi couldn't hold on anymore when he heard this. He crawled towards Qin Shun desperately, then grabbed Qin Shun's hand and begged:

"Kill me, cut me to pieces with a thousand cuts, no matter what, please let my family go."

Qin Shun gently kicked Chen Guozi away, then stood there and said: "Sir, it's not that I don't want to let your family go, it's just that your mouth is too tough. If I don't pry something out of your mouth, Come on, how do you explain it to my father-in-law?"

After finishing speaking, Qin Shun sat back down again, and then said to the people on the side: "Pull little Yaya in and let them meet their grandparents. After all, they can only meet each other a few times."

When Chen Guozi, who was lying down below, heard this, he no longer had the toughness he had at the beginning. He touched his head to the ground and kept knocking: "Eunuch Qin, I'll do it, I'll do it,"

Qin Shun was waiting for his words.

"Okay, don't bring that little girl in yet."

Following Qin Shun's words, Chen Guozi finally breathed a sigh of relief, then collapsed on the ground and began to tremble all over.

"Then let me tell you, sir, who is the mastermind behind your scenes? What is your purpose?"

Chen Guozi raised his head and glanced at Qingshun, then lowered his head and said solemnly: "I was ordered by the Queen Mother to assist Prince Yizhong in seizing the throne."

Qin Shun was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He thought of many people and many reasons, but he did not expect this at all.

The Empress Dowager has been living in seclusion for many years and rarely leaves Cining Palace.

Everyone thought that she was indifferent to fame and fortune and just wanted to retire in peace, but they didn't expect that she could do such a big thing.

"Who else?"

"Nothing."

"Why do you want to obey the Queen Mother's orders?"

Chen Guoxin opened his mouth, but didn't say a word next.

Qin Shun had no patience anymore, "Since you don't tell me, sir, I can only continue the torture."

Chen Guozi looked at the demon-like Qingshun above, and then thought about his family and grandchildren. He gritted his teeth and said: "For the sake of her own status, the Empress Dowager exchanged the civet cat for the prince, and exchanged the daughter she gave birth for for me. son."

Qin Shun was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say.

After a while, Qin Shun stood up dullly and walked outside without caring about the people inside.

After leaving the cell, he gently waved to a soldier in uniform who was standing guard outside and came over, "What orders do you have, father-in-law?"

"Send someone in, and execute all the jailers and soldiers inside, as well as the prisoners inside."

The man was stunned for a moment, but he quickly nodded and went out. After a while, a dozen or so uniformed soldiers and more than twenty soldiers were brought in from outside, and then they broke in.

Then there was a burst of screams inside.

When the sound disappeared, Qin Shun walked into the cell again. Before he even got close, he smelled a strong smell of blood.

Qin Shun covered his nose with a handkerchief, walked into the cell, looked around, and then went up one by one to stab everyone in the heart with scissors, and then felt relieved.

"Clean up the corpses and send them all to the crematorium."

After saying that, Qin Shun turned around and left. This time he was worried and quickened his pace to the palace.

Arriving outside the Yangxin Hall, Qin Shun hesitated for a while, but finally gritted his teeth and walked in.

After coming in, I glanced inside first and saw Jia Rui still sitting there boringly reviewing the memorial.

Qin Shun stood by the door, hesitating for a long time, not daring to go in.

In the end, Jia Rui put down the memorial he had just approved, looked at Qin Shun, and said, "What are you doing standing there? Come in."

Seeing that he couldn't hide, Qin Shun could only grit his teeth and walked to Jia Rui's side, and then asked Jia Rui to get a new cup of tea.

Jia Rui had been approving the memorials all morning and was a little tired. He stretched, took the tea, took a sip, put it on the table again, and then asked:

"What happened? To scare you like this?"
