"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
Upon seeing that the person who came was actually Qin Yu, Hu Pan immediately knelt down on the ground, his face full of surprise and joy.
"Your Majesty, as you instructed, I have arranged everything properly within the Imperial Prison."
Nodding, Qin Yu spoke.
"Well, I have already made my decision on how you did. I will reward you handsomely after this matter is over. I called you here today to discuss with you how to add fuel to the fire for Jia Zhengjin!"
As the chief executioner of the imperial prison, Hu Pan had a vast knowledge of various forms of torture. Few dared to claim to be the best at torturing people. Understanding Qin Yu's meaning, Hu Pan quickly replied.
"Please give your orders, Your Majesty, and I will do my utmost to fulfill them."
Just as he was getting excited, Qin Yu suddenly changed the subject and asked with a playful expression.
"Does Lord Hu frequent brothels and other places of pleasure?"
These words immediately embarrassed Hu Pan, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His Majesty actually asked him this question. This was clearly... Although prostitution was nothing new inside and outside the court, and many extravagant and corrupt officials stayed in bed day and night, according to the law, prostitution during duty was a serious crime of dereliction of duty.
If no one pursues the matter, fine; but if someone seizes on this point, they can make him regret it.
Trembling, Hu Pan knelt on the ground and hurriedly tried to explain.
"Your Majesty! I...I did indeed visit brothels and had lovers there, but my loyalty to Your Majesty is as clear as day! Besides, this...this was actually to cover things up, after all, being too chaste is not suitable for being the chief of the imperial prison!"
Seeing Hu Pan trembling with fear, Qin Yu couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. To outsiders, he was the emperor who indulged in women, drinking, gambling, and whoring. As the saying goes, "What the superiors like, the inferiors will follow." How much more extravagant must the civil and military officials be doing?
"You misunderstood me. I wanted to ask if you could find some men with homosexual tendencies. Not many, ten would be enough."
This time, not only Hu Pan was stunned, but even Liu Caiqing was stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief as she looked at Qin Yu.
Hu Pan knelt down with a thud, trembling and pleading with tearful eyes.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must not, you must not! Homosexuality is extremely harmful to the body. If Your Majesty finds the concubines in the harem boring, I will go to the common people to find some women for Your Majesty, or perhaps hold a beauty pageant to select concubines. But you must never do anything that would disgrace the royal family! I hope Your Majesty will take care of your health!"
Seeing the two who had misunderstood him speechlessly, Qin Yu kicked Hu Pan in the butt with a laugh and said angrily.
"Get out, get out! What nonsense is this? Do you think I'm that kind of person? These ten people are for Jia Zhengjin's use, what does it have to do with me!"
As he spoke, a ruthless glint flashed in Qin Yu's eyes. Paying money to atone for one's sins was a privilege reserved for these noble children.
But for Qin Yu, money alone is far from enough. He also believes in another principle: an eye for an eye!
The innocent woman who was humiliated to death by Jia Zhengjin and his men, and the husband who was blindfolded and forced to watch his wife being tortured and humiliated, but was ultimately killed by the Jia family!
Jia Zhengjin will have to pay for all of this slowly!
"Hehe, what I want to do is very simple, just let Jia Zhengjin taste what it's like to be humiliated in turn!" Qin Yu said fiercely.
Hearing this, Hu Pan breathed a sigh of relief, but the wicked smile on Qin Yu's lips made him shudder.
Previously, it was ten strong men ganging up on him; this time, are they planning to replace him with ten men with homosexual tendencies? Will Jia Zhengjing be able to continue this way?
Just thinking about it sent chills down Hu Pan's spine. This guy in front of him was even more disgusting than he was!
"Remember, you must bring them in openly and honestly through the front door! Don't try to hide it."
Although he didn't know His Majesty's intention in doing this, Hu Pan obediently followed the order and went to prepare.
Around midnight, the soldiers guarding Zhengyang Gate saw a group of heavily made-up "women" walking towards them.
"Stop right there! What are you doing?!"
Just as the general guarding the city was about to go down to investigate, he saw a group of eunuchs coming out of the palace.
"Eunuch An, why have you come in person?"
As a favorite of the current emperor, Anfu is quite famous in the palace, and many people want to get close to him. Unfortunately, this favorite is not someone that just anyone can meet.
"We've come to pick up some people. General, go do what you need to do."
They remained mysterious and silent, and the general guarding the city didn't press them for details. He could only wave his hand to let them in, but when he saw the ten people clearly, he felt a chill run down his spine.
These people aren't women, they're a group of men!
Then, recalling the other person's heavy makeup and the appearance he had seen when he frequented brothels in the city, he immediately recognized him—wasn't this a male prostitute from a brothel?
Why would the palace need male performers?
Suddenly, as if he had just realized something, he trembled all over. When he met Anfu's cold gaze, he immediately pretended to be blind, saying and asking nothing, standing there like a statue.
The group soon arrived at the Imperial Study under Anfu's guidance. Qin Yu was sitting on the dragon throne, enjoying a massage from Yuzhu, while the book in his hand was full of obscene illustrations.
Soon, ten male performers arrived before the emperor. It was their first time seeing the emperor, and they dared not even raise their eyes. They all knelt on the ground, trembling, not daring to utter a single word, for fear that their heads would be separated from their bodies.
"Are you all truly homosexual?"
Faced with Qin Yu's question, the leader dared not refuse to answer and could only force himself to speak.
"Your Majesty, the sisters are indeed all right, and they will certainly serve Your Majesty well."
As he spoke, this guy even looked up and gave Qin Yu a wink, clearly a habit he'd developed from serving too many clients.
It was a mistake not to look, but what Qin Yu saw made him feel utterly disgusted. It instantly reminded him of those ridiculously sweet candies from his past life, and the physical discomfort made him shudder.
"Damn it! You dare to raise your heads and peek at the might of the Emperor before me? Look at your pathetic state! Are you even men? You're corrupting the simple and honest folk customs of my Great Xia! Guards, drag them all away and behead them!"
At this, everyone collapsed to the ground, screaming and begging for mercy.
"Your Majesty, my daughter, no! We were wrong, please forgive us!"
The screaming and begging made Qin Yu feel nauseous again, and he almost vomited on the spot.
