After entering the gate, Jiang Qi took Wen Yu for a tour around the Ministry of Punishment.
In response to Wen Yu's strong request, the specific uses of many torture instruments were explained in detail.
"This is a bone cleaning brush. Use the knife to scrape away the flesh and blood, and then use the brush to dip in green vitriol oil and apply it on the bones. Repeat this process until you get a clean and smooth bone."
Wen Yu: ...
Green vitriol oil? Isn't it just sulfuric acid?
Jiang Qi picked up another bowl-shaped torture device and explained, "This is a soul-soothing hood. It is placed on the left and right sides of the human brain's temples, fastened tightly, and then hit repeatedly with a hammer. After more than 200 hits, the person will be unable to speak of what he heard, unable to describe what he saw, unable to move, unable to die, and half-incompetent."
Wen Yu: ...
"This is a scent-seeking cloth. It has a terrible odor. Soak it in dog blood and cover the mouth and nose. It will only take a moment for the person to suffocate to death. The eyeballs will bulge out and the eyelids will be unable to close. When the person is on the verge of death with veins bulging, the scent-seeking cloth will be released, allowing the person to breathe for a moment, and then the cloth will be covered over the person's mouth and nose again. This cycle will repeat over and over again."
Jiang Qi finished speaking and looked at Wen Yu: "Princess, do you want to hear more?"
Wen Yu blinked: "Listen, keep talking."
Jiang Qi: ...
Wen Yu snorted lightly. What a little brat. He thought she couldn't tell. He was trying to scare her on purpose. This was just a little trick.
"Why didn't Teacher Jiang say anything? I haven't heard enough. What about this? What is this for? And this? What is this called? How do I use it?"
Jiang Qi: ...
The eldest princess' behavior is indeed unlike that of ordinary women. It can be said that they are completely different in every aspect.
Most men would feel terrified when they see these torture instruments or hear about these punishments, let alone women?
But the eldest princess had a look of curiosity on her face, and there was no trace of fear or alarm on her face at all.
Jiang Qi asked from the bottom of his heart: "Princess, seeing and hearing these, aren't you afraid?"
Wen Yu raised her eyebrows and looked at him strangely: "Why are you afraid? Aren't these torture instruments and punishments you mentioned used on prisoners?"
"yes."
"Then why would I be afraid? I'm not a criminal, and they won't use it on me."
Jiang Qi: "But these torture instruments are hideous in appearance and the punishments are horrific, so they will naturally make people feel scared."
Wen Yu nodded: "You are right, the torture instruments look scary, and the punishment is indeed somewhat inhumane, but its function is to deter and suppress those lawless criminals, which will naturally make the bad guys feel afraid."
"For a good person like me, these torture instruments and punishments are for our protection. They only make me feel safe."
"So whether to fear it or not depends on who is using it."
Just like when a gun is in the hands of a gangster, one will naturally feel fear, but when a gun is in the hands of a soldier, one will feel full of security.
Jiang Qi was completely stunned.
"Princess, do you think so?"
"Yes, what I said makes a lot of sense. How come my little head is so smart?"
Jiang Qi: ...
Wen Yu stroked her chin and said, "But which genius came up with this name for this punishment? Hanging firecrackers on a cow's butt, how awesome!"
Jiang Qi heard this and said calmly: "I am a humble official."
Wen Yu: ...
She changed the subject immediately: "Hey, wasn't that captain dragged to the Ministry of Punishment? How come I didn't see him?"
Jiang Qi readily answered, "He was so frightened that he lost control of his bladder and passed out on the way."
On the way out, Jiang Qi asked, "How is it different from the Ministry of Punishment that the princess is curious about?"
Wen Yu thought about it and felt that this farmhouse-like Ministry of Punishment was indeed different from what she had imagined.
She smiled and said, "I can only say that what is terrifying is not the Ministry of Punishment, but the torture methods used by the Ministry of Punishment. Wherever the methods are, there is the Ministry of Punishment."
Jiang Qi curled the corners of his lips when he heard that.
Wen Yu had just returned to the princess's mansion and hadn't even laid down when news came that the emperor had summoned her into the palace.
Wen Yu picked up an apple and went to find the emperor leisurely.
When the emperor saw her, he couldn't help but sigh, and his body felt less straight.
His tone was filled with disbelief that had not yet subsided: "Royal sister, do you want to learn the Great Sheng Law from Jiang Qi?"
Wen Yu was stunned. Oh my god, Jiang Qi is too fast, right?
I was surprised in my heart, but I said calmly: "Yes."
"Why?" The emperor still couldn't believe that his sister wanted to study? The sun rose from the west?
Wen Yu looked at him with some confusion, and asked very seriously: "Didn't you ask me to change my target? Haven't I changed it?"
emperor:……
I am right in saying this, but isn't this too fast?
And he is also a close and loyal minister!
The emperor said sternly, "My sister, you don't know that Jiang Qi is an extremely old-fashioned man with a stubborn mind. I can't stand him when he gets old-fashioned."
Wen Yu said casually: "You can't bear it, but I can."
emperor:……
"Why does the emperor like Jiang Qi?"
"Of course it's the face. Is there any need to ask?"
As expected, the reason was so superficial. He overestimated his own sister and even thought for a moment that she really wanted to learn.
The emperor held his forehead and said, "So studying the law is false, and lusting after beauty is true."
Wen Yu nodded seriously: "Good summary, I will reward you with a little red flower."
"Royal brother, just tell me whether you can lend me a helping hand or not!"
How could the emperor not help?
Wen Yu shifted Huo Huo's target to Jiang Qi, so Lu Ren escaped the disaster.
When he returns to the court and asks for a marriage, he won't be in too much trouble.
However, the speed with which his royal sister could judge people really shocked even the emperor, and he felt ashamed of himself.
