652, the last trace of dignity (1 more)
The three words "old woman" were directly on Guyu's tail, and she was immediately angry, "Little Hoof, how do you dare to say another word!"
"Enough!"
At this time, Zhao Xi and Leng Su's angry shout came from above.
Xiu Dong immediately shut up.
Guyu stopped talking unwillingly.
Even if he had speculation, Zhao Xi could not convict her directly, and said, "Aunt is the manager of the Eastern Palace, and Wan Qiu and Zhixia are both subordinates. There are some things that are not easy to interfere. If you investigate the real murderer, just leave it to your aunt!"
Gu Yu was happy, and it would be difficult to leave it to her. Just pull a scapegoat and let the murder case be buried in a dry well sooner or later.
When Xiu Dong saw Guyu's reaction, she felt secretly hated her and felt secretly happy.
Your Highness has already handed over these two murders to Sanbao in advance. If Guyu dares to find a scapegoat, when the evidence from both sides is compared, she will dig a hole and bury herself. With Your Highness's temperament, it would be strange that she can make her feel better!
Zhao Xi was silent for a while and said to everyone, "Everyone retreat."
Gu Yu bent his knees, "Don't worry, your highness, I will find the real murderer as soon as possible, and give a explanation to Miss Wan Qiu's spirit in heaven."
The father-in-law Sanbao looked at Guyu's back as he withdrew, his eyes gradually became colder. When he found evidence, he must let His Highness tear the vicious woman with a scorpion heart to pieces!
After Gu Yu left, Zhao Xi looked at Nian Chun and Xiu Dong, "Before the truth comes out, don't move, don't go out to the courtyard if you have nothing to do on weekdays, so as not to be affected by the fish in the pond. I will arrange someone to guard outside the courtyard."
After such a big incident, Your Highness can even think of the two humble little female officials.
Nianchun and Xiudong felt warmth in their hearts, so they hurriedly knelt down to thank them, and then stood up and left Chengming Palace.
In this way, only Zhao Xi, Song Yuanbao and Sanbao's father-in-law were left in the hall.
Zhao Xi pinched his eyebrows and said to Song Yuanbao: "There are so many things happening today. You go back first. I want to be alone and be quiet for a while."
Song Yuanbao looked at him worriedly, "Your Highness..."
"I'm fine."
Seeing this, Song Yuanbao sighed silently. Wan Qiu was the first woman of the prince. However, he died in a day after serving in bed, and he still passed away in such a humiliating way. No matter how strong Zhao Xi is, he is only a sixteen-year-old boy. If you encounter such a thing, you will definitely have a great blow to your heart.
At this time, it is indeed time to leave him some quiet space.
Song Yuanbao did not insist on staying anymore and whispered to Sanbao's father-in-law: "Take good care of Your Highness, I'll leave first. If something happens, Feige sends me a letter and I will come here as soon as possible."
The father-in-law Sanbao nodded, "Slave sends you to the young master."
"No need." Song Yuanbao looked at Zhao Xi with complicated eyes, "You accompany him, I can leave the palace by myself."
——
As soon as Song Yuanbao left, Zhao Xi did not let Sanbao stay in Chengming Palace and asked him to investigate the case as soon as possible.
The father-in-law of Sanbao had to go to the secret prison of the East Palace. During the day, the old eunuchs who were knocked unconscious by Song Yuanbao were all detained in it.
When they saw the Sanbao father-in-law, they were all busy cheering up and said that they were wronged and were instructed by others.
Sanbao's father-in-law stood in the passage, looking at the few people with a cold look, "Who has he been instructed?"
"Zhixia."
An old eunuch said excitedly: "It was she who asked us to go there. She said that a new palace maid had committed a crime. The superior ordered the palace maid to be humiliated to death so that we did not have to show mercy. Three treasures, we are also on orders. Otherwise, how could we bully a little palace maid for no reason?"
"Is that right?" Sanbao sneered, "What is your relationship with Zhixia? Why should you follow her instructions?"
The old eunuch shrank his neck and stopped talking.
The Sanbao father-in-law shook the whisk and said to the prison guard behind, "Just let him!"
After the words came, two strong prison guards came forward. One opened the prison door and the other grabbed the collar of the old eunuch who had spoken before, and took the person out in a few seconds.
The old eunuch was frightened and shouted, "Let me go, what do you want to do?"
The Sanbao father-in-law said expressionlessly: "Since you don't want to tell the truth, you don't have to talk anymore. Take it down and cut his tongue."
The tone was light, but it made the people in the cell sweat.
The two jailers were very fast and dragged the old eunuch to the place where torture was up. One of them opened his mouth and the other one raised his sword and fell down.
But in the blink of an eye, the old eunuch's tongue was gone, and he was so painful that he could only scream "ah ah ah" and the scream echoed in the gloomy dark prison, making people creepy.
The remaining four old eunuchs were huddling in the corner, and someone had already started to tremble.
The old eunuch Sanbao didn't even move his eyebrows from beginning to end. When the tortured old eunuch fainted in pain, he smiled slightly, "Next."
As he said that, he pointed at one of them with a whisk, "You?"
"No, no..." The old eunuch's knees softened and he knelt down directly, "Ancestor of the Three Treasures, please spare me!"
"Or you?" Sanbao's father-in-law pointed the whisk at another person with a mole on his face. The other person's face turned pale and he was shaking his mouth and couldn't speak.
"Then you!" Sanbao's father-in-law pointed to the first one again, "Tell me, who was instructed by me? If you say it well, our family will let you go out to enjoy your old age. If you say it badly, it is not as simple as cutting your tongue."
The old eunuch was still kneeling on the ground, his body trembling, "Slave, the slave is indeed instructed by Miss Zhixia..."
After the following words, Sanbao's father-in-law didn't let him finish his words. He obviously lost his patience. He had a cold face and asked the two prisoners to come over and drag the old eunuch who was kneeling on the ground out.
"If you don't want to say it, just put it." Sanbao's father-in-law said lightly: "I burn my tongue with a soldering iron."
The eunuch was so scared that he almost fainted and wailed: "Three treasures, the little ancestor of the Three treasures, please spare us!"
Sanbao's father-in-law ignored him and looked at the three eunuchs left in the cell, especially the one with a mole on his face for a long time.
"I remember you." said Sanbao's father-in-law: "I was taken care of by you when I first entered the palace!"
When the eunuch with a mole on his face heard this, he became soft and knelt down with a plop, "Slave, I know that I am wrong. I hope that the Sanbao father-in-law has a lot of them. Don't be as knowledgeable as a slave. In the future, I am willing to serve you as a cow or a horse."
"Bah!" Sanbao's father-in-law stepped forward and spat fiercely.
He entered the palace when he was young and was assigned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and became the eunuch's follower. However, he did not expect that the other party was a beast and even a child was not spared. He was almost killed by him. Fortunately, he met his current godfather, the eunuch general manager of the emperor, Eunuch Cui. If he had not rescued him, he would have died long ago under this perverted strife.
So when it comes to being tortured by these beasts, the Three Treasures has the deepest insights.
Just now in Chengming Palace, he just kept his nerves and didn't dare to show it.
Thinking of the fact that a girl from Wan Qiu died in the hands of these perverts, Sanbao's father-in-law rushed to his head with anger.
"Ah—ahhh—" At the entrance of the prison door, the eunuch with his tongue burned torture the heart-wrenching cry.
The remaining three were even more afraid, but they all closed their mouths and refused to say it, but refused to say it.
The Sanbao father-in-law lost his patience. "If you don't want to explain, just take it down and deal with it. You don't have to speak any further in the future, so as not to make a noise."
"Ancestor, please spare my life!" The eunuch with a mole on his face crawled on the ground, "It's not that we refuse to say it, but... we can't say it."
"Why can't you say it?" Sanbao's father-in-law frowned.
“Because…because…”
He seemed a little difficult to speak, his voice was getting smaller and smaller, almost impossible to hear.
A eunuch behind him said, "Because someone went to the purgatory room to steal our baby and threatened that if we dared to shake off half of the word, we would send the baby to feed the dog."
The eunuch who spoke was younger, probably for the first time he had experienced such a situation. As he spoke, he began to feel aggrieved and sobbed quietly.
The father-in-law Sanbao was stunned.
Although eunuchs also distinguish between high and low, in the eyes of many people, no matter how high you climb, you will be just a rootless eunuch. When the masters are happy, they will enjoy their food. When they are unhappy, they will kick you like a dog.
If it were not for the sake of livelihood, who would not want to be a normal man who married a wife and had children outside the palace and had a sunrise and lived a normal life? Once you entered the palace and went to the purity room, you would only be half a man after you came out. The remaining half would be stored in a special place and there would be special people to guard it.
That is what eunuchs care about most besides their lives.
It is the last trace of dignity they were born into.
The father-in-law Sanbao himself is a eunuch. He knows what it means to be used to insult the baby like this.
The person behind it was crazy to think of using this method to threaten a group of eunuchs to attack a little girl!
