"Bah! You treacherous lackey of the Prime Minister... You shall not die a good death!"
Ding Guangjian was a subordinate whom he promoted personally. Because he trusted him, he let him take charge of the imperial prison.
Kou Huairen believed that he had treated him well, but he never thought that he would betray him and help the treacherous prime minister Cui Cen and the eunuch Wang Jin to frame him.
Ding Guangjian's face shuddered, he stood up and threw the melon seeds in his hand to the ground, his eyes were vicious and his face looked ferocious.

When Zhao Xin heard this, his face instantly turned cold.
The jailer who led the way couldn't help but shudder, and suddenly dared not say anything more. He quickened his pace to lead the way.
As soon as I arrived outside the torture room, I heard shrill and painful screams coming from inside.
Zhao Xin walked quickly.
The moment he entered the torture chamber, he saw the bloody victim on the rack.
