Chapter 137 How Can He Be Human?
There have long been rumors in the capital that many powerful and wealthy people like to keep male prostitutes.
However, this has been explicitly prohibited since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Severe penalties will be imposed once discovered.
Therefore, this trend is no longer visible on the surface.
Qin Jinzhi first met the male prostitute when he met Shen Liuying's younger brother.
A very handsome boy.
Shen Liuying's father gave her younger brother to various powerful figures who liked pedophilia in exchange for resources.
Not only that, Shen Liuying's concubine was also kept in the Shen family's backyard, and different men would appear in her room every day.
If Shen Liuying hadn't been chosen to enter the palace, she too would have met with misfortune.
According to Shen Liuying's stepmother, Shen Liuying had more than one father like that.
Qin Jinzhi saw that the young ladies and gentlemen of the Zheng family had the same scars as Zheng Qi.
She was laughing uncontrollably.
The voice was frantic, like a vengeful ghost about to descend.
Qin Jinzhi drew a guard's sword and walked up to Zheng Hongwen.
"Who would have thought that the Zheng family, a family of scholars and renowned Confucian masters, would actually be a den of iniquity!"
Qin Jinzhi drew her sword. "How dare you call yourself a human being?"
As he spoke, he plunged his sword into Zheng Hongwen's genitals.
Zheng Hongwen was in excruciating pain, his eyes bulging as if they were about to burst.
So this was Zheng Qi's real purpose.
She used her own death to bring disgrace upon the Zheng family.
He used his own death to save everyone in this hellhole.
Qin Jinzhi relentlessly churned the sword inside Zheng Hongwen's flesh.
"Does it hurt? That's how it must have felt when Zheng Qi died, but don't worry, I won't let you die so easily."
She drew her sword, dragged it to Madam Zheng, and scraped it across the ground with a hoarse sound.
Madam Zheng was so frightened that she knelt down and kowtowed, "Princess, spare my life! Princess, spare my life!"
Qin Jinzhi looked down at her, her voice like a devil's whisper, "I guess none of these are your children. So where are your children?"
Madam Zheng was even more terrified. "Princess, spare us! They are all innocent! They knew nothing about this!"
Qin Jinzhi slowly plunged the sword into Madam Zheng's palm. "I'm asking you, where are they?"
Madam Zheng nearly fainted from the pain, but could only say, "Please, Princess, spare my life."
Qin Jinzhi looked at her with a mocking expression, "Look, you know how to cherish your own children, so why do you treat others like this?"
"Bring everyone from the Zheng family back to Chidori-no-Tsukasa."
Qin Jinzhi looked at Zheng Hongwen, who was lying on the ground, covered in sweat from the pain, staring at her with a face full of resentment.
"Don't worry, I will expose everything you've done to the world. I will make sure you and the people behind you are utterly disgraced and condemned to eternal damnation!"
Liu Yiyi glared angrily at the couple on the ground, "You beasts! You're worse than pigs and dogs!"
Back at Chidori-no-Ki, Cui Ying's eyes reddened upon hearing about the Zheng family's situation.
"I held Zheng Jijiu in such high esteem, yet he is such a beast in human form!"
She still remembered what Zheng Qi looked like; such a vibrant person, yet he had encountered such a thing.
Qin Jinzhi's face was gloomy. "Investigate. Leave no official who has had contact with the Zheng family unchecked. Also, find out where Zheng Hongwen's eldest son and daughter are now."
Cui Ying also said with a solemn expression, "Okay."
Qin Jinzhi's book has a large "Zheng" character on it.
She looked up at Cui Ying and asked, "What is Zheng Hongwen's relationship with Consort De?"
Cui Ying thought for a moment, "They all come from the Zheng family of Xingyang. In terms of social status, Consort De should call Zheng Hongwen her cousin."
Qin Jinzhi's lips curled into a wicked smile.
This second imperial uncle is truly ambitious.
The most effective means of winning over officials are women and money.
Prostitutes are lowly; all they do is pose and flirt.
Those hypocritical and powerful people then set their sights on women from humble backgrounds who were talented.
After all, only this is worthy of their respectable appearance.
But who can match the esteemed and talented chief priest?
Zheng Hongwen's connection to the palace was probably with Consort Zheng.
Minister of Revenue Zheng Wenbo has been detained on suspicion of embezzlement.
Now that things have come to this, everything is clear.
Qin Jinzhi got up and left, and a dagger was sticking out of the character "Zheng".
She went to the cell where the Zheng family members were being held.
"Tomorrow, I will hand over the evidence of Zheng Hongwen's crimes. Anyone who is willing to testify against him, please come forward."
The people in the Zheng family looked at each other in bewilderment.
No sooner had Qin Jinzhi finished speaking than a little girl and a boy came out.
"I do!"
Zheng Hongwen roared with hatred, "I am your father!"
The girl's eyes burned with even more hatred. "Father, did you ever treat us as your children? I was only ten years old when you gave us away."
Zheng Hongwen roared, "I gave birth to you and raised you, and I decide everything about you. What does this matter for the sake of the Zheng family's century-old foundation!"
The girl stopped looking at him. "Father, you have no humanity left."
After seeing the girl step forward, several other people followed suit.
The rest of the people stood still.
After so many years of torment, they have forgotten how to resist.
Moreover, Zheng Hongwen is the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy, and he is backed by Consort De. Even if His Majesty knew about it, he might not necessarily kill him.
Qin Jinzhi looked at the unmoved people and sneered, "Those who are willing, go to another cell."
The Thousand Bird Guards led the people to another cell, where Qin Jinzhi said, "Kill all those who are unwilling."
The people in the cell immediately screamed and fled.
Why are you treating us like this!
"We are victims too!"
What did we do wrong?!
But Chidori Guard's blade fell without the slightest hesitation.
Qin Jinzhi stared at the people who kept lying down on the floor of the cell.
“Zheng Qi could have lived. She did it to save you. Since you can’t grant her wish, then go down and join her.”
At this moment, Yun Jin walked in and said, "Princess, I have brought the person you requested."
Qin Jinzhi looked at the corpse on the ground and said calmly, "Let them in."
Yun Jin led the person in.
There were actually seven or eight old eunuchs.
Qin Jinzhi tossed a porcelain bottle to one of them.
"This couple is giving it to you. If you're about to run out of breath, give them one."
The men's eyes gleamed with malice. "Yes, sir!"
The others immediately understood what Qin Jinzhi meant.
These are all old eunuchs from the Yeting Palace.
Torture methods can make life worse than death.
Qin Jinzhi looked at the two of them, their smiles devoid of any warmth.
"I will neither let you die nor let you live."
After saying that, he left the cell while listening to the roars behind him.
These were the filthy and powerful clansmen who had been living in the mud and swamp.
It is a chronic disease left over from thousands of years of history.
She will eliminate them all, little by little.
Qin Jinzhi never thought that ambition was a derogatory term.
But such ambition is truly disgusting.
Since you want to go to that location so much.
She wouldn't let him have his way!
After returning to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, Qin Jinzhi locked herself in her room.
After a long time, Qin Jinzhi came out carrying a memorial tablet.
She placed the memorial tablet in a small ancestral hall.
There are only five words on it.
Zheng Mingsi's position.
