The two were brought to the Dali Temple, and Lord Du began to interrogate them non-stop.
Shen Huai insisted that he was wronged.
"Unfair?" Lord Du winked at the person next to him, and the other person immediately went to get the torture instruments.
Looking at the various torture instruments, Shen Huai's body trembled.
The old man named Du didn't like him in the first place, and now that he gets the chance, he will definitely use all these torture instruments on him.
He was just a civil servant and had never learned martial arts. If he were to be tortured with this set of instruments, he would at least lose half his life if he didn't die.
"I want to see whether your words are harder or my whip is harder."
Lord Du waved the whip and stared at Shen Huai fiercely. After he finished speaking, he whipped Shen Huai directly.
Shen Huai subconsciously wanted to hide, but he was tied up and couldn't hide at all.
"Master Du, are you trying to force a confession out of me?" Chen Huai said angrily as he withstood the whip.
Lord Du remained unmoved. Thinking of the suffering of his dead daughter and granddaughter, he whipped Chen Huai again.
"As for human beings, I will naturally abide by the law. As for a beast like you who is worse than pigs and dogs, a few lashes from me would not be enough."
At worst, if the emperor blames him, he can just go and apologize.
Du Lin, who was also tied up nearby, shrank subconsciously when he heard the sound of the whip being swung.
After all, she grew up in the Du family. Lord Du wouldn't treat her the same way he treated Chen Huai, right?
Du Lin was just thinking when Lord Du's gaze suddenly shifted to her.
She stole a glance at the whip in Lord Du's hand, trying to mention her dead parents so that Lord Du would show leniency to her.
This was the safest solution she had come up with.
Without waiting for Du Lin to speak, Lord Du threw the whip to Yang Wen, who was stunned.
Is the master tired of beating me and wants me to take over? I only gave him two lashes.
"Go, change the torture device."
It turned out that they wanted to change to other torture instruments. Yang Wen came to his senses and asked, "Sir, what torture instruments do you want to change to?"
When Du Lin saw Lord Du throw the whip to Yang Wen, she was delighted, thinking that he was not going to torture her. However, when she heard the words "change of torture instruments", her joy disappeared.
"That one," Lord Du pointed to the pliers next to him.
Du Lin looked in the direction he pointed and was so scared that her body went limp. Fortunately, she was tied up so she didn't collapse to the ground.
They actually wanted to torture her with the force of the wrist.
The so-called torture is to put the pincers into the fingers and then tighten them hard.
They say the fingers are connected to the heart, how could she bear it?
Yang Wen went to get the pliers. He originally thought it was too cruel, but Lord Du's daughter died because of this man. If he encountered such a thing, he would probably want to skin the person who harmed his daughter and pull out his tendons.
"Master Du, you promised my father that you would take good care of me. Are you doing my father justice by torturing me?"
Seeing that the pliers were about to be put on his hand, Du Lin could no longer hold back.
"Why didn't you and that bastard Shen Huai apologize to the Du family when you hurt Yiyi? Don't worry, I will send you down to see your father and ask him if he dares to blame me."
The thing he regretted most in his life was bringing Du Lin to the Du family. Du Lin actually dared to bring this up. It was really something that was out of the question.
"Put it on her and execute her."
The second prince watched Du Lin being put in the torture chamber without saying a word. He was glad that Du Shuyan could not come to the jury, otherwise it would be so cruel.
"No, don't torture me." Du Lin struggled to resist, but it was all in vain.
Chen Huai closed his eyes, not daring to look at this cruel scene.
He suddenly felt that the two whips he had just received were nothing.
"And him, let's use him together."
Shen Huai suddenly opened his eyes and defended himself, "Sir, Yiyi's death was caused by Du Lin. She seduced me, but I already had Yiyi. She was jealous of Yiyi, so she killed Yiyi."
Du Lin turned his head to stare at Chen Huai and retorted.
"Chen Huai, do you have any shame? It was you who set Du Yiyi on fire, why are you putting everything on me now?"
Yu'er was right, Chen Huai only loved himself.
He used to say that he loved himself, but now he pulls himself out to deal with problems.
"Torture."
Lord Du didn't want to see the two of them fighting each other, so he wanted to torture them first.
Anyway, it's only the first day, and there are plenty of opportunities for the two to fight each other.
The two people who were still blaming each other suddenly became quiet when they heard the word "torture". Then they saw the rope on the torture device being tightened. Chen Huai and Du Lin's expressions were distorted, and then they let out shrill screams.
After a while, both of them were in so much pain that sweat covered their faces.
Even the screams were much quieter than at the beginning.
"Sir, I admit it. I admit everything."
Chen Huai was breathing heavily, feeling like all ten of his fingers were useless, and every movement was so painful that he wanted to gasp for air.
Lord Du didn't want to kill the two of them so quickly, as that would be too easy for them.
He raised his hand to let the two executioners retreat, and glanced at Chen Huai, "Tell me, were you the one who ordered the attack on the imperial officials? And what about Yiyi and Yan'er? You'd better explain everything clearly."
Shen Huai took a breath and told Lord Du the strategy he had told the others.
"That's the way it is," he said, enduring the pain in his throat, feeling a little wronged. "I really didn't do it."
He just moved his mouth, but it turned out that he was not the one who hit the man.
"The ministers in the court jointly wrote a letter saying that it was you who did it. Do you think you can get away with it if you didn't do it?"
Shen Huai remained silent. He couldn't escape, so he had to rely on Prince Yueqing.
No one wants to use Prince Yueqing, so they will definitely not treat him as a discarded pawn.
"What did you do about Yiyi and Yan'er?"
Yang Wen glanced at Lord Du and said softly, "Sir, how about the Second Prince and I interrogate him here while you go and rest?"
After all, it concerns his daughter. If she can't accept it and gets angry after hearing it, will she directly chop Chen Huai to death?
Lord Du shook his head and waited for Shen Huai to speak.
"Why, you can't speak about what you did?"
Du Lin taunted, "You weren't so hesitant when you set the fire, so why are you scared now?"
"Shut up," Chen Huai glared at Du Lin, "The reason I killed Du Yiyi was because of you."
When he first married Du Yiyi, he really didn't hate her, but Du Yiyi was indifferent to him and didn't want to get close to him at all.
He is a man and has self-esteem. In addition, when he met Du Lin on his way back home, he was deliberately seduced by Du Lin. The contrast made him hate Du Yiyi's coldness even more.
Du Lin was not like this at that time. She was well raised by the Du family. She was gentle and considerate when they were together in daily life, and even more charming at night.
After a few interactions, he got involved with Du Lin.
Later, under Du Lin's gentle offensive, he fell in love with her and thought of marrying her into the house, which might even make Du Yiyi angry.
But Du Lin refused, and the two had a quarrel.
"For me? You did it for yourself, didn't you? Because Du Yiyi doesn't like you, you want to destroy her. Who told you that Du Yiyi married you out of spite?"
