I saw the Minister of household who had just been well turned over and screamed bitterly in the bath bucket. The water in the bucket had already been dyed red by blood.
The iron cover on the bath bucket is not an ordinary cover. It looks smooth on the outside, but a layer of sharp teeth are welded inside. That is to say, when Wei Qiming wanted to open the cover just now, the sharp teeth on the cover would scratch his scalp
Now looking into the bath bucket, Yan Qiqi found that there was a pile of leeches swimming in the water!
Leeches suck blood and will never stop until they are full
The scream in the bath bucket became lower and lower. Finally, the people inside stopped moving.
He Dong came here at random, as if showing off his booty to her, "Oh, I forgot to tell the princess just now. They had pierced Wei Qiming's legs with needles before we came, and the bath bucket was filled with salt. These leeches are afraid of salt and are very sensitive to the smell of blood. I just want to see such a small hole, Can leeches get in or not
Yan Qiqi was shocked physically and mentally. He couldn't say a word.
As the saying goes, poor people have treachery and rich people have conscience. Like he Donglai, a scum who gets pleasure by abusing others, she can't find words to describe it. It's worse than animals!
He Donglai seemed to finally see a satisfied look on Yan Qiqi's face, and his mood became very good. He even talked more, "the princess doesn't need to look at me like this, and don't feel sorry for others, because... If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, then you will be the next one!"
"You dare!"
Like hearing the funniest joke in the world, He Dong came close to her, "I dare not, princess, I'll know later."
"How can you be so insidious? He is a second-class official of the imperial court. Do you still have royal law in your eyes? "
This is no longer the normal interrogation mode. Under torture, people's willpower is as weak as a piece of paper. What's the difference between this and coercion?
"Wang fa?" He Donglai smiled twice, "here, I am the king's law!"
"Somebody, drag the waste out!" With an order from He Dong, several guards rushed to drag Wei Qiming out.
Wei Qiming, who was covered in blood, had already been tortured and lost consciousness. His scalp was full of scratches of different sizes and depths. Blood flowed down his forehead and his face was covered with blood. If he hadn't seen his chest undulating slightly, Yan Qiqi really thought he was dead.
He Donglai squatted down in front of him and raised his chin with an iron bar in a cold tone: "Lord Wei, my patience is limited and I don't have time to spend it with you slowly. If you know what you know, I will make you unable to survive or die."
He is only a fourth grade official, and he even so brazenly threatens the second grade officials of the imperial court!
Yan Qiqi wants a needle to kill him!
He Donglai is so unscrupulous that the Dali Temple ignores the king's law. It seems that he Donglai is more cruel than rumors!
"Drag it down!"
Wei Qiming was dragged down like a dead dog.
The dark room was quiet again. He Donglai wiped his hands and looked at Yan Qiqi sitting on one side. His eyes were cold: "what does the princess want to say to me?"
Yan Qiqi didn't answer, but looked at him with hatred.
He Donglai nodded: "since there is nothing to say, I will send the princess back..."
In fact, he brought Yan Qiqi here today just to give her a bully and kill the chicken for the monkey. He didn't expect her to say anything.
Besides, how can a young lady like her, who is not familiar with the world, experience the hardships of the people? If she is frightened, she may recruit everything.
However, to his slight surprise, the bloody scene just now didn't scare her. She didn't lose color like other official ladies, but her face was very calm.
No matter how carefully you look at her, it's not like pretending, but you're really not afraid.
He Donglai is an old hand in observing words and expressions, but this time he can't see through Yan Qiqi. He doesn't know whether her words are true or false.
Yan Qiqi was escorted back by the same route. When she returned to the cell, the people were very surprised to see that she came back safely, just like seeing a ghost.
"All the people who were taken away before were beaten and hurt all over. There is no place to see from top to bottom. You are the first person who was personally interrogated by the principal and returned intact..."
Yan Qiqi was also surprised. Since he Donglai was a man who had to pull out a layer of hair when wild geese flew by, how could he keep himself safe? It seems that I just want to frighten her today.
"Thank you for your rescue just now. I haven't asked you for your name in ripple next week?" Yan Qiqi returned to his position, and the woman who had been diagnosed with pulse carefully leaned over.
"Zhou ripple?" Yan Qiyi stays.
As the book of songs says, "the river is clear and rippling", Yan Qiqi looks again at the woman who tries to suppress her cough. Her face is clear, meaningful and beautiful, unlike ordinary people.
Besides, it must be a scholar who can take this name.
"My name is Yan Qiqi. Hello." With that, she naturally extended her hand to Zhou Lianyi.
"Hello..." Zhou Lianyi hesitated.
"Sorry, this is my way to say hello. Did it scare you?" Yan Qiqi is a little embarrassed. She hasn't changed this habit until now. In modern society, she usually shakes hands when greeting people, but here, it will be abrupt to use this way.
Zhou Lianyi quickly shook his head, "Miss Yan, don't get me wrong. I don't mean that. I'm thinking, for so many days, you are the first person here who is willing to talk to me and the first person who is willing to make friends with me. Thank you..."
Hearing this in Yan Qiqi's ears, she also felt an inexplicable bitterness in her heart.
She once felt the pain of having no friends. She was lonely and unspeakable. Similarly, she can now feel Zhou Lianyi's feeling of being bullied and having nowhere to tell.
Yan Qiqi gently patted Zhou Lianyi's hand, "I don't misunderstand. What I want to say is, Miss Zhou, you're just sick. It's not difficult to cure. Just now there are no medicinal materials. Don't listen to their nonsense. You'll get better."
There were tears in Zhou Lianyi's eyes. She gently nodded, "thank you."
