The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1187
The prince glanced sideways at Gu Chengyu, only to see Ruyu's face against the firelight, still so calm and calm.

Seeing that the scarlet iron left a deep brand on Zhou Yuancong's chest, a smell of burnt meat wafted in the cell, making the Prince's throat a little itchy.

Seeing that Gu Chengyu's face still remained unchanged, he couldn't help but slander in his heart. He never expected that such a person like Zhilan Yushu would remain indifferent in the face of such cruel punishment, which shows how cruel he is.

It seems that the emperor's transfer to Dali Temple was a very correct decision.The imperial father's vision of employing people is still accurate, Gu Chengyu is indeed determined and resourceful.

Suppressing the disgusting feeling in his heart, he didn't want to set his eyes on Zhou Yuancong, so he still turned his eyes to the pleasing Gu Chengyu.

"Is Your Highness feeling unwell?" Gu Chengyu noticed the prince's gaze and turned around to ask.

In fact, he wanted to say that the prince might feel uncomfortable when he saw this scene.Just to take care of the other party's face, he still changed the term.

During the last interrogation, the prince left midway.Therefore, this observation of punishment may be the first time for the prince.

The prince was a little embarrassed when he heard the words. In fact, with his status, why would he need to personally supervise him?If he hadn't been eager to know the answer, he could have waited for the result of the interrogation in the palace.

It's just that the matter is very important at this time, how can he stay in the palace?
Seeing Gu Chengyu with red lips, white teeth and tall body, the crown prince couldn't help but sigh in his heart that such a harmless person could kill people like chickens.I don't know how to be so ruthless.

"That's not true. Mr. Gu, you said we might get the result of the interrogation today?"

The crown prince still admired Zhou Yuancong a little. No matter who the master behind the other party was, such a strong man was worthy of admiration.

"It's not easy to draw a conclusion. I see Mr. Zhou is determined. If you want to pry his mouth open, you may have to spend some time. You may not be able to get the result today."

The prince nodded, in fact, he thought so too.It's just that Zhou Yuan never opened his mouth, and they couldn't think of any good solution for the time being except for torture.

Another quarter of an hour later, Zhou Yuancong finally couldn't help but hum a few times.Even a person with strong will will be exhausted after all this tossing.

Looking at Zhou Yuancong who was covered with scars, Gu Chengyu waved his hands, and the torture would probably be too much to bear.

"Master Zhou! Why do you have to work so hard to support? A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and His Highness the Crown Prince inherits the throne is justified. If you can turn your back on the dark and turn to the bright, and explain the mastermind behind it, His Highness has always been respectful and virtuous, and he is also very lenient to the ministers of the court. I will definitely not be too harsh on you."

Gu Chengyu said a few words of persuasion as a matter of routine, and took the opportunity to stop the torture.

The prince also nodded when he heard the words, "That's right! Mr. Zhou, those who know current affairs are heroes. As long as you help me this time, I will not treat you badly. Even if Zhou's glory cannot be restored, it can still be preserved." You are a descendant of the Zhou family. And the Zhou family is not allowed to be an official within three generations, and can re-enter the court after three generations. I will do what I say, and I will never break my promise."

Assassinating the prince and court officials is a felony, so it is naturally impossible for him to return to the court.But to save the lives of those heirs and not to pursue them any longer, this is the crown prince's biggest concession.

He believed in this condition, Zhou Yuancong would definitely be tempted.

After all, if Zhou Yuancong refused to confess, then after his death, his descendants would have to live in anonymity.Abandoning the surname and worrying all day long, such a life is not easy.

And after three generations, the Zhou family can also be admitted to the imperial examination, which gives hope to the Zhou family.

Sure enough, as soon as he said his promise, Zhou Yuan raised his head with difficulty.His powerless eyes turned to the sitting prince, and he couldn't help laughing at himself.

The prince's conditions are indeed exciting, but since he took refuge in that one, he has no choice.

To keep his offspring safe?Hehe, even he himself doesn't know where his heir is, so the prince's words mean nothing to him.

But if there is a way, who will hold on to it?At this point, what difference does it make if you switch votes?
It's just that the current situation drives him to do this. He is always going to die, but his heirs still have to live.

He shook his head with difficulty, "Don't waste your time, I won't say anything."

Zhou Yuan only felt that it was very laborious for him to even speak a sentence, and a sentence was spoken intermittently, which was almost inaudible.

Gu Chengyu couldn't help getting closer, and heard Zhou Yuancong struggling to say: "Even if you cut me into pieces, I won't say it, so let me have a good time!"

At this moment, he no longer had the desire to survive, he just wanted to end his life quickly so as to escape these cruel tortures.

Gu Chengyu pondered for a while, although Zhou Yuan looked very tough from now on, looking at death like home, but who knows if he will turn his back in the end?

After all, tormented day after day, the belief that defeats a person is not necessarily physical torture, it may also be spiritual devastation.

Gu Chengyu turned to look at the crown prince, "Your Highness! If the interrogation continues, I'm afraid he won't be able to stand it anymore. Do you think it will be retried tomorrow or continue?"

The prince was a little surprised when he heard Zhou Yuancong speak, but then his face darkened.

Why would Zhou Yuancong be so devoted to the mastermind behind it?Could it be that he is the majestic master of the East Palace, not as good as that person?

"Hmph! From today on, the execution will start at this hour. I don't believe it anymore. Let's see how long you can last."

"After each execution, an imperial physician is invited to prescribe medicine for him."

The crown prince walked out of the cell angrily, but Zhou Yuan never called, he felt uneasy.He was going to hang Zhou Yuancong's life, making it impossible for him to live or die.

Gu Chengyu saw that the prince was ruthless this time, and knew that the prince was very afraid of the mastermind behind Zhou Congyuan.No!Perhaps it should be said that as long as there is a threat to the prince, the prince is very afraid.

"Your Highness! Will the rest of the assassins be interrogated today?" Seeing that the prince had already left the cell in the west, he immediately raised his voice and asked.

The prince paused when he heard the words, he was also dizzy with anger just now, now he remembered that there are still Daxing's thieves watching!
Thinking that he was surrounded by wolves before he ascended the throne, and his father left too many hidden dangers before he died.

The crown prince sighed, "Please also report the results to the palace after the interrogation, Mr. Gu."

"Yes! Congratulations to Your Highness!"

After the crown prince left, Gu Chengyu looked intently at Zhou Congyuan, then at the two handymen beside him, thinking about how to speak to Zhou Congyuan alone.

"My lord! Will this person continue to be interrogated now?" The prison chief looked at Gu Chengyu and asked tremblingly.

Gu Chengyu ignored the jailer, but said to Zhou Congyuan: "Master Zhou is really a man, with iron bones, which is admirable!"
