Chapter 178:
Who would have thought that the exchange would be an arrow in the back of your mind.
Betrayal from those close to you is more chilling than others taking action out of interests and jealousy.
No matter which aspect he considered, Xiao Junzhan could not spare her.
The night breeze was blowing, and the deep palace walls were shrouded in darkness, making the chilling atmosphere even more intense.
In the silence, Xiao Junzhan asked: "Is there anyone from the palace who is in charge of punishment?"
Ning Hai bowed and replied: "Your Highness, yes."
The palace is meant to be used for at least a month to escape the summer heat. Regardless of whether it is the court or the harem, each department must arrange for someone to accompany them to perform their duties. Otherwise, when His Highness needs someone, no one will be available. Wouldn't it be a mess?
As soon as Ning Hai finished speaking, two servants of the punishment department came out to take orders.
The Criminal Division is subordinate to the Ministry of Punishment, but it is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment. It was established specifically for the royal family since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The royal family, concubines, princesses and consorts, including the maids, all are interrogated by the Criminal Division when they commit crimes.
If the middle palace has an owner, the chief punishment officer is the authority of the middle palace.
Since the death of the late queen, His Majesty has been lingering on the sick bed and has not established a queen. The middle palace has been vacant for many years. The concubines and concubines in the harem have been content with themselves and there have been no disputes over power and profit. The clan members of the royal family have been very honest in recent years.
Hence, the prestige of being in charge of the punishment department has not been put to use for a long time.
Upon hearing this, except for a few older doctors, everyone in the courtyard was a little confused.
Until Xiao Junzhan looked at Wei Hansu, the vague cruelty in his expression made people's hearts go numb, and he said softly: "Ran Ran treats you like a sister, but you repay kindness with hatred and harm her so much. It is really not a pity to die."
Wei Hansu burst into tears, shaking his head and trying to argue.
However, I heard the man standing above me saying word by word as if he was holding the constitution of heaven in his mouth: "Drag him down, skin him and remove his bones, let the Liu family watch with their own eyes, as a warning to others."
“...No!” Wei Hansu was stunned for a moment, and then shouted wildly.
The woman's voice was sad and desperate, piercing the sky and sending chills down one's spine. Soon a female official came up and tried to gag her. Liu Wanning, who had been stabbed unconscious by Dr. Wang's needle and bound her hands and feet, also woke up. She was trembling with fear.
…peeling the skin and pulling out the bones.
She regretted it so much. The accomplices were skinned and boned alive. As the masterminds, could the Liu family have any better ending?
She shouldn't be unwilling, she shouldn't be greedy for power, and she shouldn't have illusions about him. This is not a decent and decent person, but he is obviously a cruel and murderous evil ghost.
“Creak…” a sound.
The palace door behind Xiao Junzhan was opened from the inside. He turned around suddenly. The moment the stunning-looking girl appeared in his field of vision, the ice and snow that had been condensed for thousands of years melted quietly in his eyes.
"Ran Ran..." His eyes brightened slightly, and he came towards this side.
Wei Hanzhang quickly took a step back, with an expression of fear and resistance.
Xiao Junzhan's steps stagnated slightly and stopped in place.
Perhaps it was because there was a worm in her body. For such a big thing, Wei Hanzhang didn't sleep well. She planned to take a rest from the beginning and was prepared to sit in on the interrogation all night long.
She wants to know all the truth.
When he was awakened by several short screams in succession, only green beads and green orchids were left waiting outside.
Looking at the faces of the two personal maids, she also knew that it was not peaceful outside.
Unexpectedly, after changing clothes and coming out, I heard Xiao Junzhan's cold voice.
Skinned and boned…
If these words had come from someone else, she could have regarded them as angry words, but he was the prince.
