Chapter 223 The right foot first entered the study room

In the cell, Jiang Wenjing walked to the cell door and looked sideways at the faces behind the iron bars.

Although he had become a low-level prisoner, Torre did not feel that he had become a low-level prisoner. He stared at Jiang Wenjing and grinned: "How is it? Have you tasted the feeling of being suspected by everyone?"

"No," Jiang Wenjing said softly: "You wanted to pull a back cushion, but you pulled the wrong person."

Torre looked at his calm face, as if he wanted to see if he was pretending. Seeing that he was really calm, Torre's brows wrinkled.

No, impossible.

The sword moves used by Jiang Wenjing were indeed Mobei swordsmanship. There were so many people present, and as a general of a country, it was impossible that there were no people coveting his position!

If anyone with a heart took note and reported it to the emperor, Jiang Wenjing would never be able to sit on the position of general again!

Such a good opportunity, no one in Tianqi could grasp it? !

Torre's face suddenly twisted.

Jiang Wenjing hooked his finger, and the jailer who had been silently paying attention to this side immediately trotted over, diligently opened the cell door for him, and dragged Torre out: "General."

Because of their strong martial arts, they were worried that the cells of the imperial prison could not hold them. In addition to the muscle softener that was forced into their mouths when they were first locked up, Xing Maozhi also deliberately mixed some of it into their food and water.

Therefore, Torrei was now like a piece of fish on a chopping board, allowing them to flatten and round him.

Jiang Wenjing nodded slightly, watching them drag Torrei into the torture room, then waved his hand to let them go out and closed the door himself.

Torrei showed fear in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "I am the prince of Wala, how dare you lynch me?"

Jiang Wenjing had heard in Jiang Zhiyu's heart that if the original direction was followed, it was Torrei who attacked him from behind the cave.

It was also him who tortured him and made him live like a ghost.

His breathing became heavier, his eyes drooped, the cold wind blew, and the swaying candlelight shadows were reflected on his face, like a ghost crawling out of hell.

The fear in Torrei's eyes could no longer be hidden.

"Wala can't protect itself now, even if you are the prince of Wala, what does it matter?" Jiang Wenjing chuckled and poured a bucket of boiling water on him.

"Ah!"

Torre was hit hard and cried out in pain. Because of the clothes, only the exposed skin turned red.

Jiang Wenjing sneered: "Why, you can't bear it?"

At that time, his legs were broken, and he was kneeling in the snow, naked, and he poured water on him.

Now he cried out in pain before he even started?

Torre stared at him with red eyes: "You bastard! When I get out, I will cut you into pieces and feed you to the dogs!"

Jiang Wenjing looked at him with a chuckle: "Prince Wala, you are really a hard-headed person. I wonder if you have heard of the punishment of combing and washing?"

Combing?

Jiang Wenjing saw his puzzled look and knew that he had never heard of it. He said in a flat tone: "The so-called combing and washing punishment is to strip the prisoner naked, place him on an iron bed, and use boiling water to scald his flesh. Then use an iron brush to brush off his flesh one by one until all the flesh is brushed off and his bones are exposed."

Jiang Wenjing looked at Tore's pale face with amusement: "Prince Malzaha of Nanlong died from this punishment."

A string in Tore's brain broke, and the fear of facing death overwhelmed his mind: "No! No! I won't be punished! I won't!"

The chain wrapped around his hand made a jingling sound as he moved, "Please! Please! As long as you don't torture, I will tell you everything you want to know!"

"It sounds good," Jiang Wenjing smiled. Just as Torei breathed a sigh of relief, he heard him say, "It's a pity that I would rather believe the testimony of someone who has been tortured to the point of collapse than a deal without any basis."

"But don't worry, I will show mercy and leave you a breath so that you can watch the destruction of Wala with your own eyes."

Torei's eyes trembled.

...

The emperor personally issued an imperial decree to appoint the fifth prince Xiao Siyuan as the general to conquer Wala. As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar.

Except for the second and fourth princes, the rest of the princes were indignant about this.

Xiao Chuji was only thinking about pleasing Ji Xiurong, and the fourth prince was lustful all his life and was indifferent to power struggles.

Anyway, for him, no matter which brother he has offended, no matter which brother ascends the throne, it will not cost him his life.

In the East Palace, Xiao Lingyu looked at the counselors standing in the room with worried faces, and couldn't help but chuckled: "You don't have to be like this, my father appointed the fifth brother for his reasons. In my opinion, the expedition against Wala may not be as easy as imagined."

"Prince, you can't say that," the counselor on the side couldn't help but said: "You are not the same as before. The emperor has confined you several times, and he has never been to the empress again. He used to favor the sixth prince, and now he has appointed the fifth prince..."

The next words would be a bit treasonous, so the counselor fell silent.

Xiao Lingyu naturally understood what he meant. He simply thought that he, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, was not good enough and wanted to train another successor.

"This matter is set in stone. There is no need to worry about it," said the leading strategist Ji You. "What is important now is to find out whether the emperor hates the Crown Prince or wants to train another person to check and balance the Crown Prince. Only then can we find the right medicine."

His words were obviously very important to the strategists. As soon as he said it, the strategists nodded in agreement.

Xiao Lingyu's smile did not change: "What you said is right, but Lingyu has not done anything to make my father hate him. Moreover, my father valued me very much before. If he said that he hated me overnight, it would be a bit puzzling."

The other strategists also agreed with this.

The emperor was so crazy that he accused the crown prince of being arrogant and disrespectful to his elders for stepping into the study room with his right foot first, and confined him to his house for half a year.

The rest of the princes were also confined to their houses, except for Xiao Yanli, who was still stupid at the time.

Thinking of Xiao Yanli, Xiao Lingyu raised his eyebrows: "Has the result of what happened that day not been found yet?"

"After Zuiyuelong disappeared, a few days later, I found his body in the small river on East Street. However, there were too many people watching at the time, so I only had time to take a quick look before the body was taken away by the soldiers."

Xiao Lingyu nodded slightly, and then asked: "What has Xiao Yanli been doing these days? Is he still dealing with Xiao Chuji for a woman?"

"Yes, the second prince once became a monk for a woman. I have inquired and found that the woman the second prince is infatuated with now looks exactly like the previous woman."

Exactly the same?
