Gu Yunni didn't care at all, thinking that Sheng Mingyu had already taken control of the overall situation.
What is the point of a young general standing tall on the battlefield dealing with these petty thieves now?
Sheng Mingyu looked at Gu Yunni's figure in the distance and couldn't help shaking his head, with a doting smile on his lips.
"Find a few more people to follow, and never let the Crown Princess get into any trouble."
Hearing this, everyone nodded, "What are you going to do?"
Seeing that most of the people around them were sent out to protect Gu Yunni, the remaining people became a little anxious.
"Don't worry, my prince, there won't be any trouble with the princess."
Sheng Mingyu just nodded and said nothing more.
After all, there are very few people near Kyoto who dare to openly assassinate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
When Gu Yunni reached a safe place, Sheng Mingyu pointed his sword forward and said, "Come out, I want to see how powerful you are."
Before he could finish his words, the other party made a move.
Dozens of black shadows flashed by and rushed out.
How could these people be a match for Sheng Mingyu's secret guards?
I originally wanted to escape, but it was too late.
In less than a moment, he fell to the ground and fainted.
Seeing this, Sheng Mingyu smiled coldly, "Take them to the prison, I will interrogate them personally."
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly sent the man to the prison.
Soon, these people woke up.
"Your Highness, you are still seldom seen or heard of such bloody places."
The jailer walked to the side and looked at Sheng Mingyu standing there, feeling an inexplicable pressure coming down on him.
After all, with the prince around, they felt a little uneasy.
What if this hurts the prince, or is too bloody, and the prince blames us?
However, Sheng Mingyu never even looked at them from beginning to end.
Instead, he turned around and said coldly, "Interrogate them as you should. If you can pry their mouths open today, I will reward you handsomely. If you can't get the answer, there will be a punishment."
These people were originally afraid, but now they gasped when they heard this.
"As you command, Your Highness."
Having said that, he quickly stood up and left without looking back.
Soon, several huge iron brands were placed in front of them.
If this thing falls on the body, it will not only cause extreme pain and stain the flesh and blood, but it may even make them unable to walk upright for the rest of their lives.
Seeing this, the men in black were terrified, but they just gritted their teeth, sweat dripping down their foreheads, and still refused to say a word.
"I didn't expect you to be so stubborn. You must be no ordinary people, right? Who sent you here?"
Sheng Mingyu deliberately provoked the conversation and said calmly, "Seeing how loyal you are, if I'm not mistaken, you should be loyal to the Crown Prince, right?"
At this moment, several people took a deep breath, narrowed their eyes slightly, and seemed to be thinking about something.
At that moment, I felt a little panic.
"Still refusing to tell? Very good."
Sheng Mingyu said no more and waved his hand gently. The person behind him quickly picked up the branding iron and walked towards the man.
Feeling the unbearable pain of the iron burning their bodies, several people started screaming and wailing.
Pain came over me.
"Your Highness, if it were you, I'd say you shouldn't bother messing around... Just get started and give us a quick death."
"that is!"
Seeing them clamoring here, Sheng Mingyu just curled his lips slightly.
It would be easy to kill him quickly, but if I really did that, I'm afraid I'd never get to the bottom of the matter.
"Take them out and throw them upside down in the mud outside. Deal with them as needed. I heard you learned a lot of interrogation skills in the Western Regions, but you never had the chance to use them. Now I'll give you a chance. As long as you can pry open their mouths."
Hearing this, everyone nodded. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could look upon me with a higher regard.
Promotion and increase in position, what else is there to say?
Thinking of this, they all stepped back, ready to torture.
The trapped people were extremely panicked and frightened. They opened their mouths and looked at Sheng Mingyu.
It seems that Sheng Mingyu is a living devil.
It seems like my life could be taken at any time, but I have no way to escape.
"Your Highness, you must think carefully. There are some things we can tell you, but you must not listen. If it gets out, not only you, but the entire court will be in turmoil. When that happens, do you think His Majesty will help you or govern the court?"
It was obvious that the other party was threatening him.
Sheng Mingyu's lips curled up, and he spoke calmly, "I like your threats. Today, I, the Crown Prince, want to see how strong the people behind you are. How can they cause chaos in the court?"
Sheng Mingyu has never been afraid of threats from others.
He quickly stood up and left.
Several people have already started preparing to use torture. Once the iron brand falls on their bodies, they will be unable to live or die.
I originally wanted to ask them about the details, but I didn't expect these people to suddenly foam at the mouth and stand there swaying.
"Stop pretending and tell the truth!"
One of the men dropped an iron on his body. In an instant, violent white smoke emanated from the place where the skin and flesh were connected, and the smell of cooked meat spread in the air.
This guy didn't even shout, he just rolled his eyes and fainted. However, the foam in his mouth didn't disappear, but became even more.
"Could they have taken poison in advance?"
In the distance, Sheng Mingyu moved slightly when he heard this.
Just as I was worrying, I suddenly heard a sound coming from outside the door.
"Your Highness, these people are already dead."
"If they're dead, they're dead. Dump their bodies in the Crown Prince's Mansion. I want to see what kind of shocking moves His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can make."
After Sheng Mingyu finished speaking, he walked out happily.
The sudden change of expression made the people around him a little overwhelmed.
Everyone looked a little panicked and anxious for a moment, some of them confused as to why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so happy?
Returning to the house, Sheng Mingyu crossed his legs and sat on the rocking chair, looking at the guards beside him, "Have you investigated the matter I asked you to investigate?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded heavily. "Your Highness, we have already ascertained that Your Highness did send people to investigate. Shortly thereafter, several secret guards emerged from the mansion. Their exact whereabouts are unknown, and as of now, these secret guards have not left."
Sheng Mingyu raised the corners of his mouth and said calmly, "If that's the case, then everything makes sense."
After saying that, he turned and left.
On the other side, Kou Mingxue was still not awake.
She has been in a coma. The wife of Marquis Changping is by her side. Seeing her daughter in this state, she feels extremely angry.
But what could he do? As long as his daughter didn't wake up, there would be no explanation for this matter.
