Chapter 380

After Cheng Jin received Zhan Ling, he immediately arranged for his men to conduct torture and interrogation.

In the afternoon, Tang Yin came in person to check the results of the interrogation.

The place where Zhan Ling was imprisoned was a large warehouse that was half above ground and half underground. It has been converted into a prison and a place of execution by secret arrows. Read the full text. Not only Zhan Ling was imprisoned inside, but also many captured Peng Army generals. Hidden Arrow wanted to get information about Zhong Tian from them.

When Tang Yin arrived, the secret arrow personnel had already begun to torture Zhan Ling. Zhan Ling was tied to an iron pillar, his clothes had been stripped off, he was naked, and his thin body was covered with blood stains.

Seeing Tang Yin's arrival, the secret arrow personnel headed by Cheng Jin stopped what they were doing, stepped forward together, stepped in to salute, and said respectfully: "Sir!"

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded, glanced at Zhan Ling, who was beaten and in a semi-conscious state, and asked, "Has she confessed everything?"

Cheng Jin shook his head and said: "This woman is very tough and insists that she is Zhan Ling and not someone else pretending to be her."

Tang Yin said: "I don't care what methods you use, what methods you use, in short, let her admit that she is a fake, but people must not die."

"Don't worry, sir. I've already sent people to prepare torture instruments." Cheng Jin said confidently: "It will make her miserable, but it will also ensure that she will not die."

"Oh?" Tang Yin perked up. He really wanted to see what kind of torture device Cheng Jin had prepared. The environment in the cell was extremely poor, dark and gloomy, with a rotten smell floating around. Tang Yin originally planned to leave immediately, but after listening to Cheng Jin's words, he found a small wooden stool to sit down and quietly turned his back on the situation.

Because Tang Yin was present, the secret arrow personnel worked even harder. Seeing that Zhan Ling had been beaten to death, someone immediately brought a large bucket of cold water and poured it over his head. After Zhan Ling regained consciousness, he began to beat him severely with the whip. Zhan Ling was indeed as Cheng Jin said, with a very tough mouth. Even though he was beaten with blood all over his body, he still insisted that he was Zhan Ling.

The secret arrow personnel didn't care whether the person was male or female, old or young, and were not polite at all. Whipping was not enough, so they used a soldering iron instead. As the red-hot soldering iron was imprinted on his body, Zhan Ling screamed and fainted on the spot. The hidden arrow personnel were also tired and sweating profusely, but they did not stop. They fetched cold water, poured cold water on him to wake him up, and asked him again.

After repeated repetitions several times, Zhan Ling still refused to admit that he was a fake. Tang Yin was impatient and was about to get up and leave. At this time, two hidden arrow personnel ran in from outside. When they came to Cheng Jin, they held a small bird in their hands. The cloth bag was handed over and said: "General, the things are ready!"

Is this the instrument of torture Cheng Jin was talking about? Tang Yin raised his eyebrows in confusion. When Cheng Jin opened it to check, Tang Yin also took a glance. What was inside was not a sharp weapon, but brown pig hairs. After reading it, Tang Yin almost laughed out loud and asked: "Cheng Jin, do you plan to use this thing as a torture tool?"

Cheng Jin hurriedly bowed and said: "My lord, please don't underestimate these brown hairs. Use this to make this thief woman speak even if she has an iron mouth!" As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a hidden arrow was being tortured. The staff rushed over. Cheng Jin handed the bristles to him, raised his head and said, "No need to be soft, just wait until she opens her mouth to stop!"

"I understand!" The secret agent took the bristles and walked up to Zhan Ling slowly with a cruel sneer. He grabbed her hair and asked, "Are you pretending to be Miss Zhan Ling?"

"I... am not..." Zhan Ling was now tortured to the point of confusion and weakness.

The man with a dark arrow nodded with a sinister smile, stopped asking questions, let go of Zhan Ling's hair, pulled out one of the bristles, suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhan Ling's chest, which seemed to be immature, and then took the bristles in his hand. Aiming at the small nipple hole on her breasts, he slowly inserted it.

Not even an adult woman could bear this kind of pain, let alone Zhan Ling's young age.

He heard Zhan Ling let out a heart-rending scream, and then he turned his head and passed out.

"Water! Wake her up!"

Wow - as a bucket of water was poured on her head, Zhan Ling slowly woke up, and the severe pain in her chest made her thin body tremble. The man with the secret arrow asked again: "Are you pretending to be Zhan Ling?"

"no no……"

"I'll tell you to be tough!" The man with the hidden arrow grabbed her breast again, pulled out the bristles, and inserted it along her vagina. Zhan Ling also let out a miserable scream again and fell into coma again. This was repeated several times, and even Tang Yin couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up and told Cheng Jin: "No matter how you torture her, she cannot die, she must be left alive!"

Cheng Jin hurriedly bowed and said, "I understand, my lord!"

Tang Yin turned around and glanced at Zhan Ling again, then walked out of the cell.

After coming out, he lay on his back to take a breath of fresh air, and was about to walk to the hall when he saw Liang Qi walking up.

He smiled lightly, stopped, waited for Liang Qi to approach him, and asked, "General Liang Qi, is something okay?"

"Sir!" Liang Qi looked at Tang Yin and said seriously: "The general is here to thank you!" As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee, cupped his fist and saluted.

Tang Yin reacted so quickly and immediately understood what Liang Qi meant. He must have come to thank him for what happened to Liang Xing. Tang Yin stretched out his hand to help him up and said, "General Liang Qi, why should you be so polite!"

After a pause, he said quietly: "When you surrendered to me, I said that since you joined the Tianyuan Army, you and I are brothers, no one is different. Your father is my father. Although Liang Xiang and I have different positions, I will never sit and watch him be punished at the critical moment."

His words moved Liang Qi so much that his eyes turned red and tears almost fell. He lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice: "At the beginning, I surrendered to you just to protect the safety of my Liang family. Today, as a general under your command, I will follow you and never abandon you even if I die!"

It can be seen that Liang Qi's words came from the bottom of his heart. After hearing this, Tang Yin's blood was also moved. If he was more or less wary of Liang Qi before, now his wariness has been completely dispelled. He patted Liang Qi's shoulder vigorously and said, "General Liang Qi is sincere to me, and I will not let him down. In the future, you and I will share happiness and difficulties together, and work together to create a prosperous era for my Dafeng Empire!"

"Sir..." Liang Qi's heart was excited and passionate, and he couldn't speak. He just bowed deeply to Tang Yin again.

In the court, Tang Yin spoke for Liang Xing. Although it didn't change Liang Xing's impression of him much, he won Liang Qi's heart.

Liang Qi, Xiao Muqing, Peng Haochu, and Ziying were the four marshals of Feng Kingdom in the future. In terms of army, Pingyuan Army ranked first, and in terms of commander, Liang Qi ranked first, which shows his extraordinary ability. It can be said that the Sanshui Army he commanded was invincible and unstoppable. It was a veritable long-victorious army and made great contributions to the Feng Empire.

Tang Yin and Liang Qi returned to the lobby and sat down as host and guest. The conversation didn't last long, and Qiu Zhen walked in from outside.

He came close to Tang Yin and said, "Sir, someone from the palace just came and said that Madam Huarong wants to see you."

"Oh?" Tang Yin rolled his eyes, probably because Madam Huarong wanted to ask for credit from him.

He nodded and said with a smile, "Okay! I'll go right away."

Seeing Tang Yin's straightforward agreement, Qiu Zhen couldn't help but frowned secretly, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

Liang Qi thought that Qiu Zhen couldn't speak with his presence, so he stood up quickly and said to Tang Yin, "Since you have something to do, I will go back first!"

Tang Yin didn't have so many polite words to his own people, and didn't try to keep him. He nodded and said with a smile, "Go!"

"I'll take my leave!" Liang Qi bowed and then walked away quickly.

After he left, Tang Yin looked at Qiu Zhen and said with a smile, "Just say it if you have something to say!"

"What is the relationship between you and Madam Huarong..." Qiu Zhen didn't know that Tang Yin had promised to make Huarong the wife of the monarch in the future, and he was also very curious about the relationship between the two of them. Just now with Liang Qi there, it was really hard to ask.

"It's just mutual use." Tang Yin said calmly.

"Oh!" Qiu Zhen responded first, and then reminded worriedly: "My lord, this Madam Hua Rong is not simple, you must be careful! In addition, my lord is still an outsider now, and it is not appropriate to get too close to... the concubine of the previous king. Avoid it if you can, and don't let people talk about it!"

Qiu Zhen's words were very tactful. What he was most worried about now was that Tang Yin had a relationship with the concubine in the palace. If this got out, it would have a bad impact on Tang Yin and the entire Tianyuan Army, and it would also arouse the anger of the court officials and the people, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Tang Yin smiled nonchalantly, waved his hand and said: "Qiu Zhen, you don't have to worry about this matter, I know my limits."

"Yes! My lord is a smart man, and he will naturally understand what can be done and what cannot be done. I worry too much." Qiu Zhen followed Tang Yin's words and advised in a roundabout way.

"Haha!" Tang Yin chuckled and said nothing more.

He did not bring any extra guards, nor did he take a carriage. He only took the Shangguan brothers and rode to the palace.

When Qiu Zhen advised him just now, Tang Yin did not agree, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Qiu Zhen was right. No matter what kind of agreement he had with Madam Huarong, he should still pay attention to the taboos. On the way to the palace, Tang Yin deliberately took a detour, turned to the back of the palace, and entered from the back door on the north.

Palace, Madam Huarong's bedroom.

When Tang Yin arrived, Madam Huarong had just taken a bath and was wearing loose casual clothes. She was less fragrant with rouge and powder, but had more of her own charming body fragrance.

Even Tang Yin had to admit that Madam Huarong had a way with men. She knew very well what methods could arouse men's interest and desire. In terms of appearance, she was not as good as Fan Min, and in terms of charm, she was not as good as Wu Mei, but Fan Min and Wu Mei were tied together, but she was not as charming as she alone, that kind of mature, noble and charming charm that could make men burn.
