Chapter 72

At this moment, the cell that was screaming again and again became completely silent, and even the guards stopped the punishment in their hands.

Under everyone's attention, the fourth master said casually: "Brother, I don't mean anything else, I just want to remind you, don't beat them to death, just beat them half to death, otherwise how can you get words out of their mouths? The punishment is almost over, and it's time to be branded."

After finishing speaking, he continued to play with the jadeite finger, and leaned leisurely and lazily on the grand master's chair, with an expression of indifference.

But Si Ye's calm and breezy words caused the prisoners to fall from expectation to the hell of disappointment.

They were trembling in the beginning, and they were a little shaky immediately.

At first they thought that fourth master was here to stop them, but they didn't know that fourth master was a powerful character.

At this time, they were already torn apart.

Even let it be branded, that's not scalding the skin, but scalding the meat, it will hurt to death!

When I think of the flaming iron touching the flesh, what kind of pain and smoke will be produced.

All of them had panic on their faces and wandering thoughts.

King Zhijun cooperated with fourth master and said: "Fourth brother, at first brother was worried that you would not see blood, but I never thought that you are not afraid at all."

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I've been thinking about a punishment for a long time, and I'm a little tired." The fourth master said lightly, and then turned to look at King Zhijun, "However, I'm just talking casually about this aspect, and I don't know much about it." , if there is something inappropriate, brother, please make up your own mind, and don't let me mess around."

Fourth Master looked like a noob.

King Zhijun waved his hands again and again, and said, "Forget it, your idea sounds good, so it's up to you."

After a while, the guards put down their thorns and took the red-hot iron from the big iron pot burning with raging fire.

At this moment, the eyes of all the prisoners were wide open.

Before the guards approached, one of them yelled tremblingly: "I...I say, I can say anything! My lords, I just ask you to let me go, this will kill you !"

With the first one to speak, the rest nodded one after another, expressing their willingness to say anything.

"You people, it's like toasting and don't eat fine wine. If you don't speak up earlier, you will get it." Zhijun Wang waved his hand, signaling the guards to stop.

The fourth master glanced at the prisoners, and said coldly: "You think it through before you say it. Not only should you say your own, but also other people's. It can be regarded as reporting each other. If I find that what you said is not right, then Drag them all out and stick them to death!"

"Yes, yes, definitely!" A prisoner who was greedy for life and afraid of death, agreed repeatedly.

Just now he discovered that fourth master is a ruthless character.

Indifferent on the outside, even colder on the inside!

Then, he was afraid that it would be too late, and the fiery red iron was branded on his body.

Then he made a full confession: "My lord, I... I was wronged. Someone hired me to help him settle those troublemakers and let those whose land was occupied And retreat, I brought my brothers to help people fight!"

"After receiving the money, you have the nerve to say that you are wronged if you do something outrageous?" Fourth Master raised his eyebrows.

With black jade-like pupils, ice scum can be seen immediately.

The prisoner was so frightened that he shrank. To him, fourth master's sharp arrow-like eyes hurt more than those thorns and whips hitting him.

Because he saw the anger in fourth master's eyes.

And in order to alleviate fourth master's anger, those prisoners naturally talked one after another, crackling.

During the whole process, Fourth Master and Prince Zhijun listened quietly.

After listening, the two of them looked at each other tacitly.

It seems that this matter is a bit complicated, and it may be related to officials in the court.

Not only that, but it seems that the richest man in the dynasty, Brother Jiu, is also involved!

But anyway, this matter finally made progress.

Fourth master asked the guards to stay and continue the interrogation.

Then I went out for dinner with King Zhijun.

It was already afternoon, and they were too busy to eat yet.

After a while, a simple meal was placed in front of Fourth Master and King Zhijun.

They eat the same as ordinary servants in the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Fortunately, fourth master had the cakes and spicy cabbage prepared by Ruoyin in advance.

On the side of King Zhijun, there are naturally some things prepared in the mansion.

But most of them are taller.

For example: crystal dragon and phoenix cake, bergamot golden roll, crispy roast goose.

When he saw the cakes in front of Si Ye and a plate of red and spicy cabbage, he couldn't help laughing: "Fourth brother, seeing your treatment, it means that the siblings are pregnant and don't have time to take care of you, it's okay, Come, have a meal with your eldest brother, your sister-in-law has prepared a lot of meals for me, anyway, I can't finish it by myself."

"Thank you, brother, for your kindness. I'll just eat something." Fourth Master said flatly.

Then, regardless of King Zhijun's surprised look, he bowed his head and started to eat.

And the fourth master's food is very delicious, which perfectly interprets "the meals prepared by Fujin are the best."

Especially when eating red spicy cabbage, the delicious spicy and crunchy feeling made Zhijun Wang swallow his saliva.

The meal in front of him was good, but princes like them never lacked delicacies from mountains and seas.

Once you get used to it, you don't feel good about it.

At this moment, King Zhijun wanted to speak, but he was too embarrassed to speak.

After all, he hit fourth master just now.

Fortunately, fourth master is not a stingy person, he caught a glimpse of Zhijun Wang looking at him from the corner of his eye.

Then he handed the white porcelain jar with spicy cabbage in front of him to King Zhijun: "This is an appetizer, brother, take it and taste it."

"Fourth brother, the matter we are dealing with now is not just a simple fight. You have to report it to Huang Ama with me." In order to hide his embarrassment, King Zhijun took the white porcelain jar neatly, and said But he was talking about business.

"Well, after the meal, let's make a comprehensive analysis and then go talk to Huang Ama." Fourth master is not a quick-tempered person.

He has always been very steady in his work.

After Zhijun Wang finished his business, he tasted spicy cabbage.

As soon as he entered the mouth, his eyes immediately glowed, and his mouth was full, filled with spicy, crisp, sour and sweet.

"Fourth brother, your spicy cabbage is so delicious, it's more delicious than any delicacies from mountains and seas."

"If elder brother likes it, you can take it all. My Fujin prepared two cans for me." Fourth Master said indifferently.

It's just that the corners of the mouth are slightly raised.

Seeing that the fourth master was easy-going, Zhijun Wang simply sat opposite the fourth master, and called it a delicious food sharing.

In fact, he just wanted to eat all the dim sum in front of fourth master.

At dusk, fourth master and Zhijun Wang synthesized the confessions of other prisoners.

So I went to Qianqing Palace and reported the matter to Kangxi.

This matter was related to court officials, so Kangxi asked Si Ye and King Zhijun to stop for a while, intending to handle the matter personally.

Since Kangxi intends to handle it himself, there is nothing wrong with Si Ye and King Zhijun.

When the two of them left the Qianqing Palace, they both felt like returning home.
