Chapter 108 Sit down and eat with this princess
All the nails on all ten hands were pulled out.
King Xijing's head was buzzing and hurt so much that he couldn't open his eyes.
The fingers are connected to the heart!
What's more, those nails were pulled out forcefully.
"You don't know where those paintings are, and what about the gunpowder? Apart from what Sang Ye hid, where else can you find it? I don't believe you didn't hide some to save your life. After all, Sang Ye is so cruel and ruthless that he would do anything to achieve his goals. He would even kill his own brother. What about you? As long as you are alive, he will never ascend to the throne."
gunpowder?
Upon hearing these two words, King Xijing opened his eyes in a flash.
He stared at Fu Chenfeng for a long time, his lips trembling, and asked in disbelief, "He...he confessed everything."
"Yeah." Fu Chenfeng raised his eyes: "Do you think he is a filial son? He didn't suffer any sin at all. He said it himself before I asked."
The King of Xijing was completely stunned.
He slumped on the ground, staring blankly ahead with unfocused eyes.
Fu Chenfeng narrowed his eyes and said, "Take off his pants and perform the bone-cutting punishment."
"Scraping... boning?"
Upon hearing this, the King of Xijing suddenly came to his senses.
He didn't know much about Daxia's criminal law. Punishments like beating and pulling out nails were common in Xijing.
What is boning?
Fu Chenfeng seemed to see that he didn't understand, so he patiently said, "Boning punishment doesn't actually involve taking out the bones. It involves cutting the joints one by one. The contact of the knife between the bones separates the flesh and bones. This boning punishment was once called Marble Shaoqing. No, nowadays, Lord Lu should be called Dali Temple Minister. This is how it was established."
The King of Xijing was horrified when he heard this.
He didn't care whether the criminal law came from the hand of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple or the hand of the Dali Temple.
He just thinks this person is a pervert.
How could a normal official come up with such a cruel punishment to torture prisoners?
What's the difference between this and what people call being cut into pieces?
Fu Chenfeng looked at his terrified expression and smiled in relief. "But don't worry. General Huo has instructed that you should be spared. I will not let you die so soon. I will just use a knife to scrape the flesh off until it reaches the bone. There is no need to separate the flesh and bones."
As soon as he finished speaking, the executioner came over with a blinding knife.
The knife flashed.
A foul smell spread in the room.
The King of Xijing was so frightened that he became incontinent.
He sat in the puddle of feces and urine, shaking his head in panic. "No...no, I said...I said...those paintings are...in the secret passage of Sang Ye's bedroom. The mechanism of the secret passage is to turn the pen holder on his desk to the left once, then to the right twice, and the door to the secret passage will open. Everything you want is inside."
Fu Chenfeng raised his hand and inserted the knife directly into the thigh of King Xijing.
His whole body shrank in pain, and after a long moment of agony, he uttered a few words between his teeth, "You don't keep your word."
Fu Chenfeng picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, then said slowly, "You said I still need to verify the authenticity. What if what you said is false? I can't let my subordinates die because of a casual remark you made. Since it's a secret passage, there must be equipment to prevent others from entering. I did as you said and turned left once, then right twice, which just happened to trigger the defensive mechanism. Then, wouldn't the people I sent out have no hope of coming back alive?"
"you……"
The King of Xijing's face was completely pale, and the pain in his thighs was almost suffocating him.
Even so, he still looked up at Fu Chenfeng in astonishment.
He never took this man seriously.
When the spies reported his name before, he never even looked at them.
Throughout the entire Daxia, he had never taken any soldier seriously except Huo Xiao over the years.
Fu Chenfeng?
He is just a deputy general of Huo Xiao. If the military generals have such clear thinking, what about Huo Xiao, a genius in both civil and military affairs... ?
No wonder Su Yunyan was able to make Daxia so prosperous, all his men were capable of becoming powerful generals!
Right at this moment.
Wan Lingchuan hurried in from outside, "Come out, I have something to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Fu Chenfeng frowned slightly, put down the tea bowl in his hand, and walked in quickly. "What's wrong?"
Wan Lingchuan glanced at the King of Xijing lying on the ground and said, "Forget it, I'll go in."
He came in and leaned in to listen.
Fu Chenfeng was stunned. The fierce expression he had when he was interrogating the King of Xijing just now disappeared from his face. He asked in amazement, "How the hell can this be true?"
"It's true. The military doctor said so. I was shocked too." Wan Lingchuan lowered his voice.
"Stop spreading rumors here, I've fought with General Huo all over the country, and he's never had a military prostitute."
Having said that, Fu Chenfeng paused.
"What's the point of calling her a military prostitute? How could General Huo possibly be interested in such lowly women? Not only the neighboring countries, but even the daughters of officials from our Great Xia were sent to the General's Mansion, but General Huo didn't like any of them. He rejected them all. You must have heard wrongly. Okay, I'm interrogating you here, don't bother me."
Fu Chenfeng waved his hand, "Do you want to come for a while?"
Wan Lingchuan slapped his thigh and said, "I really hope I heard it wrong!"
Fu Chenfeng: ...
The murderous face of Huo Xiao on the battlefield flashed through Fu Chenfeng’s mind.
General Huo is favored by the eldest princess?
There is nothing wrong with this sentence, why does it sound so awkward?
"Why are you now like a woman, gossiping behind people's backs?" Fu Chenfeng cast a contemptuous look at him.
"I……"
To be honest, he wouldn't be interested in being anyone else.
That person is General Huo!
The King of Xijing looked at the two people's mysterious expressions and suddenly felt a panic in his heart.
Could it be that they really found him?
Even if he arrived in Shengjing City and met Su Yunyan, wouldn't there be no room for maneuver?
-
The Imperial Palace of Shengjing City.
When Su Yunyao returned to Linglong Pavilion, the food tray was already filled with a large table of various dishes.
These days at the border.
The military camp is not like the palace. In order not to cause trouble for Huo Xiao, she did not ask anyone to prepare meals for him separately.
Whether on the way back or in the barracks, he ate with the soldiers.
Occasionally, when we eat at the General's Mansion or outside, I eat with Zhenzhu.
In fact, she was alone in front of a table full of dishes and suddenly felt a little bored.
I clearly hadn't eaten well these past few days, and I wanted to have a big meal when I got back, but I just couldn't muster any interest at this moment.
Su Yunyao called out, "Come on, come on, stop standing and sit down to eat with this princess."
Pearl, Coral, and Agate were all confused.
They stared at each other for a long moment, then knelt on the ground in unison. "Princess, this is against the rules. I dare not do this. Please bear with me, Princess."
