Chapter 467: Punishment

This is a special and important case.

The interrogation was overtime late at night, and the three parties including the Minister of Punishment, the Minister of Dali Temple, and the Imperial Guard were interrogated together. The person being interrogated also had a distinguished status - of course, the distinguished status was limited to before tonight.

Later, the leader of the dark pavilion also came.

Fu Cang walked into the prison and looked at Chu Tianyin, whose limbs were firmly fixed on the torture frame. His body was still intact for the time being, and there was no sign of torture.

He turned around and saw sitting on the left and right sides the Minister of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple. Next to the two adults was a document writing a confession.

Chu Xuanyi stood beside Master Pan with a cold expression.

Several jailers holding long whips stood by quietly.

The atmosphere in the cell was a bit depressing, and Fu Cang's appearance made the atmosphere even more depressing.

"Master Fucang." Master Pan stood up and said, "What orders does your Majesty have?"

"No." Fu Cang said in a cold voice, "I just came to see how the trial went."

Master Pan looked embarrassed: "The prince refuses to recruit."

"He has been demoted to a commoner and is no longer a county king." Fucang frowned, "Master Pan doesn't know how to use torture to extract confessions, or does Master Shangshu not understand?"

The two adults looked at each other.

Chu Xuanyi said calmly: "The sinner has committed many evil deeds and has been deprived of his title as a county king. He can be punished."

"Chu Xuanyi!" Chu Tianyin seemed to be suddenly stimulated and struggled violently, making the iron chain rattle, "You lackey! Are you a man who is willing to succumb to a female prostitute?! This is simply a shame. This man’s face has disgraced all the ancestors of the royal family! Let me tell you, Chu Qinghuang is not of the Chu family at all—ah!”

The screams suddenly started, making people's hearts tremble.

Then they saw Chu Tianyin's mouth full of blood and water splattering.

Fucang actually cut off his tongue with a sword.

There was sudden silence in the cell. Everyone in the Criminal Department and Dali Temple changed their expressions and looked at Fucang with pale faces.

"You are still talking nonsense when you are about to die. Do you really think that the prison of the Ministry of Punishment is just a decoration?" Fu Cang looked at Chu Tianyin with a cold expression, as if he were looking at a dead person, "Since this mouth can't speak, there is no need to keep the tongue. It’s on.”

"Fu...Master Fucang..." Master Pan calmed down, "How can we interrogate him if you cut out his tongue?"

Fu Cang frowned: "Without the tongue, we can't interrogate?"

"We can interrogate him, but he...he has to talk."

"You just write down the accusations and have him sign them." Fucang said, "There's no need to waste time."

Everyone: "..."

There is no such rule.

Traditionally, even if the prisoner surrendered, the prisoner had to be subdued and frightened, so that he could plead guilty on his own. This was the first time I heard that he could be imprisoned directly.

This is no longer a sign of surrender, but... but a blatant deception, right?

"Your Majesty has almost completed the interrogation and obtained evidence of the crime." Fucang did not intend to smear Her Majesty the Queen's reputation, so he could not patiently explain, "Chu Tianyin's purpose is to use those girls to seduce the officials of the court. After controlling them for a long time, he can Let the officials of the DPRK and the Central Government be used by him to seize the country. "

The Minister of Punishment was shocked: "Planning to seize the country?"

"You heard it right." Fucang said, "His purpose was to seize the country, but his methods were too dirty and he actually extended his dirty hands to the innocent girl. The Madam of Hongyue Tower has made it clear about this matter. The innocent girl also confirmed this.”

Master Pan's expression was quite calm.

Because he had seen the secret report in advance, which indeed said that Chu Tianyin was plotting something evil and intended to use these innocent women to control officials in the DPRK and China. As for who his target officials were, it was still unknown.

But what is certain is that it must be the central official who holds the power.

"Your Majesty just said that he can be given whips, soldering irons, and sticks. Why haven't you taken action yet?" Fucang looked at Chu Xuanyi, "Commander Chu can't bear to take action?"

Chu Xuanyi glanced at him silently, it wasn't that he couldn't bear it, it was just...

"Hit him." Fu Cang walked to the blazing fire and picked up the red-hot iron. "This kind of thing has dehumanized, no torture is too much to use on him."

The Minister of Punishment and Mr. Pan have been in office over the years, and have used all kinds of severe punishments on prisoners, but it is really rare for Fucang to have such a calm attitude in inflicting torture.

Chu Xuanyi was silent for a moment, then raised his hand to signal to the jailer.

The next moment, the sound of swishing whips was heard, accompanied by Chu Tianyin's howling, which made people silent for a moment.
