Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 162
"Your Majesty, do you want to remind Boss Xia a few words?" The confidant maid rubbed Yue Jing'an's acupoints. Recently, Yue Jing'an's headache has become more and more severe.

"Tell me what he's doing. He's already been fascinated by that girl Xia Zijin. It's useless to say more for his mother. It's better to make a plan for him and then inform him."

Thinking of Xia Shengqing's whole heart on Xia Zijin, Yue Jing'an felt a headache, and her tone was a little irritated.

After all, Xia Zijin is the daughter of Ming Shengdi, and she has a heavy heart and a deep city, so she is really not suitable to be a conscientious daughter-in-law.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. When the time comes in the future, Director Xia will always marry that one. If Princess Mingzhu loses face now, won't she also bow her head in the future? If your Majesty is afraid that she will escape, just point it out, don't worry." Otherwise, if she is allowed to enter the door like this in the future, it will be a shame." The confidant maid said in a low voice while rubbing Yue Jing'an's shoulders.

The carriage was still moving forward, and it would take about half an hour to reach the Mercy Villa.

Yue Jing'an leaned her head on the table and listened to the grunt of the carriage wheels, and sighed lightly: "Let's talk about this later."

Because of the ambush on the road, Ming Shengdi's good mood at the beginning of the journey fell to the bottom, and all the way until he entered the Mercy Villa, his face seemed to be frosted, and the envoys who were waiting were also trembling with fear.

Grace Villa is worthy of being a famous summer resort. From the moment you enter the gate of the villa, you can feel a burst of coolness. It is like a stove outside in the dog days, but the Grace Villa is still as bright as spring and slightly cool.Compared with Shangjing City, Mercy Villa seems to be a miniature imperial city, with everything in it.

Xia Zijin and other princesses were arranged in the palaces and pavilions near Suru Lake, while the palace concubines such as Empress Yue Jing'an lived closer to Ming Shengdi. As for the princes, they were arranged on the outermost side, which was also the rule over the years.

After Xia Bin received the order from Ming Shengdi, he detained more than a dozen thugs who were captured alive in the underground dungeon of the Summer Resort for interrogation.This underground dungeon is connected to the underground river. It is dark and humid all year round. At night, the mountain wind blows in from an unknown place, making a sound like the whimper of an empty valley. It is indeed a bit intrusive to be imprisoned here alone.

The torches were lit ten steps away in the underground dungeon, and the sound of crackling candles was particularly loud in the silent dungeon.

More than a dozen thugs were tied to wooden stakes as thick as two people hugged each other. There were scars on their bodies from being whipped with barbed whips. The stench of blood spread around, making people sick.

"Why, no one is willing to speak yet?"

Xia Bin was sitting on a nanmu high chair, playing with two iron walnuts in his hands.There was still a thick gauze wrapped around his shoulders, but his face did not look like a seriously injured person.

More than a dozen thugs all lowered their heads and gritted their teeth in silence. In order to force them to extort a confession, Xia Bin had the guards beat them with barbed whips dipped in raw salt water for an entire hour. Several of them fainted to death Several times, but I was still woken up by a bucket of cold water and then tortured.

"Hmph, we won't give in to the royal family's humble dog!" A black-clothed thug at the head spat out bloody phlegm from his mouth, and grinned wildly with blood-stained teeth, as if he was the cruelest man. Punishment also has no effect on him, "If you want to kill, kill, there will be others when we die, you royal people will never think about it!"

Xia Bin snorted coldly and said: "Your mouth is so hard, come here, give this prince a severe punishment, and cure his stinky problem!"

"Yes. This subordinate obeys!"

After the jailer got the order, the two took the splint from the torture room, controlled the body of the leading man in black from left to right, put his legs into the splint, and inserted a gunpowder stick.As the guards on both sides exerted force on the gunpowder sticks, the thug's face was clearly distorted, but he was still trying his best to endure the more and more intense pain.

"Give me more strength, and see how crazy this kid is!"

Xia Bin rubbed the two iron walnuts in his hands, his cheeky smile trembled.

The guards on both sides exerted their breastfeeding strength, shouted and exerted force on both sides, only to hear a crackling sound from the thug's leg bones, followed by a burst of screams.

"Ah..." The face of the leading thug turned pale, and the cold sweat from the pain was all over his head, soaking a large piece of his clothes from his forehead all the way down.

"How about it, is the taste of this stick good? If you are willing to obediently explain the cause and effect of this attack on the royal family, and confess to the mastermind behind the scenes, then the prince will tell them to stop."

The leading man in black almost fainted, but he still gritted his teeth and remained silent, the toughness in his bones was invincible.

Xia Bin hated his attitude very much. In addition, the wound on his shoulder started to hurt again, and his temper became even more irritable. The creepy cry of pain.

The voice went from shrill to terribly hoarse, and finally became so angry that it was almost impossible to make a sound.

The two jailers were exhausted from the torture, and the leading man in black had only one breath left.

Xia Bin watched the fearful eyes of the other men in black with interest, stood up slowly, and walked in front of the thugs who were firmly tied to the pillars.

"You have to know, is it the king's land on the shore of the world, only the emperor is the only supreme existence at this time, and the rest are all rebellious and ambitious thieves. The emperor has always treated people kindly, as long as one of you tells the truth behind the scenes The main messenger, not only does not have to die, but he can also enjoy the glory as a meritorious person. All the previous things can be written off. You can think about it, there will be no such shop after passing this village. Even if you don’t say it now, the prince will still find Come out, but when the time comes, you will all die!"

Xia Bin rubbed the iron walnuts and made a clucking sound, then walked up to the dying leader in black, raised his leg and kicked him in the face, the man fell heavily to the ground in an instant, Xia Bin's thick legs stepped on the ground. His face was rubbed hard, and the leading man in black was still struggling at first, but as Xia Bin stepped on him with more force, his head was hit hard again and again, and he gradually lost his breath.

"Heh, it's such a disappointment to die so easily, let's drag it down and deal with it."

After torturing the black-clothed thug to death, Xia Bin just said bored, stepped on the sole of his blood-stained shoe on a clean piece of clothing on his chest, and wiped it for a while, then raised his head and stared at the other man with a fearful look on his face. The thugs in the play vividly and vividly interpret the story of killing chickens and monkeys.

Human nature is selfish and greedy, especially thugs, whoever can bring them prosperity, wealth and a stable life, they will be loyal to whom.

The leader who is most loyal to the people behind the scenes is dead, and the rest are just little ones. They are neither as firm in loyalty nor as fearless as the leader. Look at me one by one. , Thinking back to what Xia Bin said just now, I was a little bit moved, the past was wiped out, and I could still enjoy the glory and wealth, wouldn't it be more cost-effective than working my life now?
"My prince's patience is limited. I only give you this chance. There is only one person who survives. Let's see who knows the current affairs." Xia Bin showed a wicked smile. Some sense of superiority.

For Xia Bin at this time, these thugs are undoubtedly the meat of his family, and he is still rubbing and crushing them.

Only one can live.

This thought reverberated in the minds of all the thugs, how to choose whether to be wealthy or to be shrouded in the wilderness?

The answer is obvious.

"I'll tell you! Eldest Prince, I'll tell you everything!"

One of them, An, couldn't bear to speak out first.

There is a tendency called the butterfly effect. As one person lets go, the rest of the thugs also clamor to speak, for fear that he will be the one left behind.

Xia Bin watched with satisfaction the tough-talking thugs scrambling to reveal their details one by one, and laughed with satisfaction.

"Eldest prince, we were also instructed by others, otherwise how would we have the guts to ambush the imperial convoy!"

"The master promised us that after the completion of our work, everyone will be promoted to the ranks, and enjoy the salary and rations of the officials. We only live for a living, how can we blame us!"

"Adding an official to enter the rank and eat the salary? Heh, it seems that the person behind the scenes is going to change the dynasty to be the king." Xia Bin stroked his chin and hooked the corner of his mouth, looked at the most aggressive thug and said: "You guys Who is the master of it?"

"It's Song Renbo! Former Minister of the Ministry of Punishments!"

As the name was said, Xia Bin's eyes flickered with brilliance, and finally he smiled knowingly.

Song Renbo, he remembered this person.

Five years ago, there was a big case in Shangjing City. It was Song Renbo, the former Minister of Criminal Affairs, who was accused by his colleagues of buying and selling officials and nobles for accepting bribes as high as millions of taels of silver. Zhulian Jiuzu, the day the Meridian Gate beheading, the blood of the Song family stained the beheading platform red, and the stench still couldn't get rid of after three days of washing.

"Isn't Song Renbo dead, and he was able to plot a rebellion after five years? He really has the ability." Xia Bin said, a new path suddenly opened up in his heart, and he gradually became happy.

"God helped me too, hahaha!"

Xia Bin thought about what was on his mind, and laughed more and more happily. There were wrinkles on his wide and fat face, which was really funny.

"The villain has already said what should be said, can the eldest prince let the villain go!" The thug who said Song Renbo's name first said hurriedly, for fear of being preempted by others.

And the curses of other thugs continued to be repeated, and at the same time, they were full of fear of death.

"Of course, this prince keeps his word."

Xia Bin winked, and the guard behind him stepped forward and pulled out the long knife from his waist, beheading the rest of the people one after another under the wide-eyed eyes of the thug.
