PFC Chapter 425 Death is imminent
Chapter 425 Death is imminent
"Your Highness, I am innocent. I am innocent..."
He dared to cry out for injustice even when facing death.
Watching Kong Hongxin being dragged away.
The corner of Chu Wanyu's mouth twitched, "This guy is really stupid!"
The food was burned, where did the food come from?
Xiao Lijing's face was gloomy, as if a storm was coming, and his whole body exuded an aura of keeping strangers away.
His grip slowly tightened, his knuckles turning white. "These corrupt officials deserve to die!"
"Your Highness, please go back to the county government office first. I'll go check all the warehouses!" Chu Wanyu looked at the fire in the distance. "It seems a little strange, but I need to investigate to confirm what I'm thinking!"
Xiao Lijing nodded slightly, "Okay, let's split up!"
Burning food is a big deal.
I don’t know how many people gathered at the government office gate.
Xiao Lijing got on the carriage and returned to the government office to appease the people.
Chu Wanyu rode a tall horse and took Jingzhe and others to the burned granaries.
The first granary.
Chu Wanyu dismounted and strode in.
The fire was out and everything was dusty and black.
Jingzhe said, "Princess, please let me and the others go in!"
"Need not!"
Chu Wanyu waved her hand to refuse, walked into the granary and began to observe carefully.
The ashes from burnt grain are completely different from the ashes from burnt other things.
She leaned over, cupped the ashes in her palm and blew on them. "Sure enough, there is food, but not much!"
In order to confirm what she thought, she went to several granaries in succession.
"These people are so bold! Aside from the grain warehouse which showed signs of burning grain, everything else was empty!"
"Corrupt officials have been killed throughout the dynasties, and they have never been able to be eradicated, but they actually dared to touch the food!"
There are also levels of corrupt officials.
The most despicable thing is the corrupt officials who touch food.
Jingzhe was filled with righteous indignation, "The princess shouldn't have stopped the prince just now. She should have stabbed him to death with a sword!"
Chu Wanyu smiled and shook her head, "Don't be impatient, being alive isn't necessarily a good thing!"
For some people, death is liberation.
As the sky gradually darkened, Chu Wanyu and others returned to the county government office.
boom!
When Xiao Lijing learned the truth, he punched the table.
The nanmu table collapsed and turned into powder.
Chu Wanyu's eyes widened. "It's a good table, why did you hit him?"
Is this focus misplaced?
Xiao Lijing's mouth twitched. "Continue investigating. Since the granary is empty, the grain must still be there!"
The night is dark and snowflakes are flying.
In the county jail, there was a gust of cold wind.
The door opened and the smell of blood hit my nose.
Chu Wanyu held Xiao Lijing's hand, and the two walked in and just walked down the stairs.
A few fat rats ran past.
Chu Wanyu was startled, and with a flip of her wrist, a silver needle shot out.
The tail of the last mouse was nailed to the ground.
The mouse twisted its limbs frantically, and finally pulled the silver needle. There was also a silver needle on its tail as a silent power.
Seeing this scene, Chu Wanyu was amazed, "Even ants try to survive, and now they have become concrete!"
As they were talking, the two of them walked to the torture room.
Kong Hongxin was tied up on the rack, his body covered in blood, his hair disheveled and he looked unrecognizable.
"Your Highness, you are finally here. I am innocent. Truly innocent! The granary fire has nothing to do with me!"
"You still dare to be stubborn when death is imminent! Believe it or not, I will stab you to death!"
Chu Wanyu took a few big steps forward, waving the silver needle in front of his eyes, "Think before you speak, otherwise why bother talking after all this trouble!"
"It's really unfair, this humble official has been wronged!"
"Okay, then let's see which is harder, your bones or my silver needles."
She just turned her wrist and a silver needle shot out at the same time.
"Ah ah ah ah..."
The screams like those of a pig being slaughtered reappeared.
This time it wasn't just one scream, but a series of screams.
In the end, Kong Hongxin's eyes rolled back in pain and he fainted.
I want to faint, but there is no way.
Pour a basin of salt water on it.
The person woke up immediately.
Kong Hongxin was half dead. He stared at Chu Wanyu with horror on his face, "You, you..."
"Why do you want to praise me for being beautiful and kind?"
Chu Wanyu smiled sweetly, and a dagger appeared in her hand without her knowing.
The flickering candlelight and that beautiful face with a weird smile were as terrifying as a devil crawling out of hell.
Kong Hongxin trembled, but gritted his teeth and said not a word.
If you don’t want to tell me, then I will continue to torture you.
Chu Wanyu has researched and developed a lot of poisons these days, and she tests them on Kong Hongxin one by one as if she were playing a game.
then……
Deep in the cell.
Sometimes I could hear shrill screams, and sometimes I could hear uncontrollable laughter.
At daybreak, Chu Wanyu yawned and threw herself into Xiao Lijing's arms. "We're tired. Let's go back to sleep and rest for a while!"
"Okay! It's up to you!"
In full view of everyone, Xiao Lijing directly held the person in his arms and walked out.
Kong Hongxin, “…”
As he was struggling to death, he looked at the two men's backs with cold eyes.
He glanced at the guard beside him. The corners of his mouth moved, and he didn't know what he was saying.
After a while, the guard pretended to have a stomachache and left the cell.
They thought they were doing it secretly, but they didn't know that all this was seen by people with ulterior motives.
