Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Chapter 501: Torture

Chen Duo returned to the Purple Palace and reported to Emperor Chongzhao his conversation with Wang Xifeng and the burning of the memorial with a look of shame on his face.

The emperor looked serious, and even slammed the table in anger, but his eyes were full of smiles.

He scolded Chen Duo and told him to get out, but he did not let him go and ask Jia Wangshi for a confession.

Chen Duo went out and ordered someone to carry out Wang Xifeng's instructions.

When I returned to my place and was about to go to sleep, I saw the little spotted slave running in, staggering, with a folded square in his mouth.

He quickly took it and unfolded it, his face suddenly changed: "Shi Ronghua encountered the incident in front of the palace and asked to return to the sect, but the palace did not allow it. Be careful in everything."

So, when I was talking to Lord Wu Jin, Shi Ronghua was right beside me? !

It turns out that I was the one who brought trouble to my master!

Chen Duo was extremely annoyed!

After thinking it over, he got up, dressed neatly, went out, and headed straight for the inner temple.

Han Lue was on duty inside and had nothing to do, so he called Jia Lian and Jia Zhen out for questioning.

The two of them were dying one by one, crying and not knowing anything else.

Chen Duo wandered around outside.

Han Lue saw it and immediately put down the gadget in his hand, stood up and walked out.

"You have the files of all the concubines in the palace, right?" Chen Duo asked.

Han Lue nodded: "I compiled a complete set after entering the palace. Later, the imperial concubine reorganized the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I took the opportunity to make a new one."

"Give me Shi Ronghua's." Chen Duo urged.

Han raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's wrong? Because she is pregnant, do you need to check it more carefully?"

"Yeah, that's right." Chen Duo was worried about how he could explain to Han Lue, but suddenly he found that this excuse was really useful.

Han Lue knew it was not because of this as soon as he saw his expression, but he did not want to ask more questions. He just took out a thick bag and handed it to him.

Chen Duo's eyebrows jumped: "So many?!"

"Her family situation was strange. I thought it was interesting, so I read it more and made some more notes."

Han Lue thought about it and reminded Chen Duo a few more times, "The Shi family is actually just aboriginals who returned to Han China, but this person's biological mother is an important person in another tribe.

"Last time I concluded, I thought we should investigate further, so I sent a few more people to the area, but no news came back.

“If you have time, check it out and urge it.

"If it is a hidden danger, we should know about it earlier and report it earlier, so that we can avoid suffering the consequences in the future."

When Chen Duo heard this, his heart sank even more, and he immediately called Jing Lian and Chun He over:

"Check all the messages and carrier pigeons that have come back from other places in the past three months. Don't miss any of them. If they are alive, we must see the letter. If they are dead, we must see the body!"

Seeing his serious expression, the two men knew it was important, agreed, and hurried to check it themselves.

This investigation took the whole night.

When the sky was bright the next day, Chen Duo and the two of them got together and, as expected, found some strange clues in every corner!

"There were two pigeons, one from Sichuan and one from Xiangyang, both were shot down by a group of playboys in the suburbs of Beijing.

“The letter on my foot is gone.

“Because news is lost every year because of this, no one takes it too seriously.

“However, I have found out that the two dandies involved are both related to His Royal Highness Prince Shen.

"One time he went along for fun, and another time that group of playboys went to the outskirts of Beijing and borrowed his manor to rest."

Jing Lian frowned.

Chun He nodded vigorously and said, "I found a letter that was sent back from Sichuan in an urgent manner, which happened to arrive when Concubine Zhen was in the Southern Palace.

"The letter was secretly intercepted and sent to the King of the North.

"Also, the man who intercepted the book slipped and fell into the moat the next morning after Concubine Zhen was captured and drowned."

Chen Duo narrowed his eyes and said, "Didn't you find this when you searched the Beiwang Mansion?"

"No. It's just that the person who cut the book happened to know about it, so I went to look through the boxes and cabinets where he kept his things over the years, and sure enough, I found a small booklet."

Chunhe held up a palm-sized booklet with both hands. Chen Duo took it and saw that it was a record of messages intercepted and sent to the King of the North.

Chen Duo reached out and took the booklet, without saying a word, turned around and entered the dungeon, striding straight to the place where King Beijing was imprisoned.

When he arrived at the door, he didn't waste any time and started punching several times, each punch hitting the handsome and elegant face of Prince Beijing!

In just a few breaths, the face that Han Lue had tried hard to restrain himself from destroying for a long time was beaten blue, swollen and cracked, with blood coming out of the mouth and nose!

"Tell me! What kind of news did you get from Sichuan? Where is the letter now?"

Chen Duo shouted harshly, looking ferocious.

Prince Beijing was stunned - Emperor Chongzhao gave him dignity, and although he questioned him, he only used evidence to attack his heart and never really let him suffer much physical pain.

Now that he was suddenly beaten up, Prince Beijing felt so humiliated that he almost wanted to die. He sneered, "Don't you have the ability? Go check it out!"

Chen Duo shut his mouth and went straight to work, stripping off his clothes and shoes first, leaving him with nothing except a pair of pants.

Then he tied him to the tiger bench without saying a word, secured him, lowered his head and started pulling out one of his little toenails!

Prince Beijing, whose mouth was stuffed, screamed in pain with his neck straightened and his whole body trembling and sweating. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Chen Duo didn't give him any chance to relax and reached out to pour a bucket of cold water on his face!

Prince Beijing woke up with a start, and then the piercing pain in his feet hit him like a huge wave, causing him to go black before his eyes.

A hand reached out and pinched his chin like an iron clamp, forcing him to look up at the expressionless face.

"If you have something to say, just nod your head. If you don't, I'll continue." Chen Duo's voice was also dull, without any threat at all.

Prince Beijing nodded twice involuntarily.

The cloth gag was removed.

Shui Rong was dying: "Punishment, punishment cannot be imposed on doctors..."

"Snapped!"

He received a loud slap in the face in response.

"explain."

Chen Duo still had no expression, but was full of murderous intent!

Prince Beijing's pupils shrank suddenly, he gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and whispered:

"Deng Yong, the former Minister of the Dali Temple and current Governor of Sichuan, was eager for quick success and forced Shi Yan, the General of Mianyang, to wipe out all the local tribes nearby.

"Shi Yan ordered people to seek a way to ask for a lenient deadline in the capital, but it happened that...Prince Shen found out...

"King Shen came to me for help.

“Although the Zhen family had Zhen and Song in the palace, the Eastern Palace was unstoppable at that time, and I don’t think they would be able to accomplish anything.

"So I thought of a way for Shi Yan to step back on this matter, but Shi Yan still wanted to send his daughter to the Eastern Palace.

"After his daughter entered the palace, she was not very obedient. I found this strange, so I wrote a letter to question her and also did a thorough investigation.

“I just found out that this girl’s biological mother is one of the three holy women from another tribe who has been married to Shi Yan for generations.

"This girl was born with red eyes and was good at observing celestial phenomena. She was worshipped as a spiritual master when she was three years old..."

Chen Duo's face turned extremely ugly.
