Chapter 40 The Princess Takes the Blame and is Granted Death (40)

Is it useful for Prince Lu Zhu Qin to yell and shout?

Obviously it works.

After a while, the guards from Zhao Prison came in and whipped him, cursing as they whipped him, saying, "You beast, you're about to die and still want to cause trouble for me. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll pull out your tongue and eat it with wine."

But I didn't go too far.

Nor did they beat him half to death:

"You bastard, you're damn lucky. You'll be tortured to death later. If I beat you half to death now, you'll probably die suddenly during the torture. You won't die before a few cuts are made. It'll make things difficult for Old Li. Otherwise, don't you think I'll let you go so easily? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll make Old Li work overtime. It doesn't make any difference if you die an hour earlier or later. You'll die today!"

After venting his anger through whipping.

The guard prepared to leave.

It was not until this time that Prince Lu realized where he was and what he would face next. After all, the guards had made it very clear that he would soon be taken away to be executed by slow slicing.

What does being whipped mean in this situation?
Therefore, his desire to survive made him completely ignore the guard's threats, and he immediately continued to shout loudly, but this time he was not as arrogant and was much more polite and tactful.

It's more of an inducement than a threat!

"Don't go, don't go. What I just said is the truth. I really am the Prince of Lu. I was murdered by someone. She destroyed my body and stuffed my soul into this one. Go find my father quickly.

As long as you call my father over, I can prove my identity and I will definitely benefit from it."

"You can choose any fifth or sixth rank official!"

As soon as these words were spoken, before the guard could react, the other prisoners couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha, you're just a seventh-rank official, and you can pick any fifth- or sixth-rank official you want. Are you crazy? You're almost dead, and you're still acting crazy!"

"Let him go find His Majesty, hahahahahaha, oh my god! Hahahahahaha… cough cough cough cough… I'm dying of laughter. He can't even get into the street in front of the palace, okay, hahahaha!!"

Some make jokes, while others are fearless enough to tease you.

"Prisoner Zhao, this is a chance to rise to the top in one step. Why don't you go to the palace and find His Majesty!"

"Yes, I will rise to the top in one fell swoop!"

"Hahaha, I'm afraid that Zhao the jailer will be chopped to pieces or shot into a hedgehog before he even reaches the palace gate. If he's lucky, he might even be recorded in history books."

At the same time, Zhao the jailer was naturally furious, feeling humiliated and mocked. After all, he was very clear about his status. He couldn't even enter the residence of an official of a certain status, let alone the imperial palace. And he even summoned the emperor!
If he had this ability, would he be a prison boss here?
However, he was too lazy to argue with this mentally ill dying man, so he just went up to him and whipped him again in anger. Then, after thinking for a while, he finally felt uneasy, worried that this bastard would talk nonsense again. Before leaving, he simply cut off his tongue and stuffed some golden wound medicine into his mouth to stop the bleeding.

To prevent him from being tortured to death.

He died from excessive blood loss due to cutting his tongue.

After leaving, he even made a special note in the Zhaoyu prison's work log. Of course, he couldn't tell the truth. He wrote that prisoner Li Fan, fearing the death penalty by slicing, attempted to commit suicide by biting his tongue. He, the dutiful head guard, discovered him in time and poured a golden wound medicine into his mouth, saving his life so that he could be executed alive and on time.

Look, if you just write it like this, it’s not lynching, but meritorious service, and there is a legitimate reason for not having a tongue.

As to whether it was bitten off by itself or cut off.

What does it mean?
Who has time to check? Besides, he's going to be tortured to death soon. At least he'll be cut into 1,000 or 2,000 pieces. If he's tough enough, he could be cut into more than 3,000 pieces. Who can put it back together after it's been torn into pieces like that and find out what's wrong with his tongue?

King Lu had no choice but to deal with this!

Not only was he helpless, he was also extremely frightened, terrified that he might face being tortured to death, so he soon began to seek death. Because his tongue had been cut off, his hands were shackled, and his feet were shackled, he could only try hard to bang his head against the wall, hoping to die by hitting his head against the wall, which would at least be a quick and painful experience.

Then he was reported.

Summon Zhao the jailer again.

Originally, when Zhao the prisoner was writing the work record, he still felt a little guilty. After all, there is a difference between having your tongue cut off by him for going crazy and biting your tongue to commit suicide. But now he has no guilt at all.

Because this guy really wants to commit suicide!
Still banging my head against the wall.

However, jailer Zhao wasn't worried about the guy actually committing suicide, because the prisoner's hands and feet were tied, and his neck was still in a shackle. Even if he could still bang his head against the wall, he wouldn't be able to exert much strength. After all, all of them were going to be executed by slow slicing. Who wouldn't know that suicide was definitely less painful than slow slicing? So, of course, he had to be on guard.

"Stop struggling. How can you die with this energy?"

"Oh, this is so annoying. Even if I don't die, the bloody head injury will affect the subsequent Ling Chi. I'm really convinced. I owe you. If you want to die so much, I'll let you go early.

Damn, I owe Lao Li another favor."

It is indeed rare to find someone who is so capable of making trouble. Prisoner Zhao was afraid of causing trouble, so he immediately decided to send him to death by slicing as soon as possible. The next second, he opened the prison door, went in, dragged out Prince Lu who was banging his head against the wall, and took him out for execution.

If it was during the reign of Emperor Taizong Wen of the Tang Dynasty, when there were only a dozen or even a few death sentences a year, the process would certainly not be so simple and perfunctory. The third-rank officials in the court would repeatedly check and submit the case files, and Taizong would personally review them and supervise the execution after confirming that they were correct. This would be considered normal.

But now is the reign of Emperor Tianwu!
Hundreds of officials are executed every year.

Because of the incident of Prince Lu this year, the excuse of the Prime Minister's rebellion was brought out again some time ago. There were two to three thousand death row prisoners in various prisons such as the Dali Temple Prison and the Zhao Prison. A small seventh-rank official, and a seventh-rank official at that, had been sentenced to death by slicing.

Of course there is no need to bother with anything else!
Just drag him to any room and torture him.

Things like execution at the Meridian Gate or slow slicing in the Caishi Street for all officials and civilians to see, he is not qualified at his level.

Ding Shui did not continue to watch the specific process of lingchi. After all, she just wanted revenge and did not particularly like watching this kind of operation. She waited outside the room for more than two hours. When the deformed soul of King Lu floated out and tried to escape, she took action to capture his soul again and brought it back to Zhaoyu.

This time, he was given a seventh-rank official who would be skinned and stuffed with straw three days later. The same procedure was followed as before: the other person's soul would be extracted and released, and then the soul of King Lu would be merged with the prisoner's body.

In order to avoid causing trouble for jailer Zhao.

Before leaving, Ding Shui was particularly considerate and pulled out the soul of King Lu, making him fall into a coma. The force was a little strong, which would at least work for a day and a night, or twelve hours. Ding Shui planned to take advantage of this interval to go to King Han's fiefdom and punish him.

After all, there are several princes who are not human.

We can't delay any longer. If we delay any further, who knows how many more lives will be lost. We have to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

After dealing with the prince.

There are still many animals left to be dealt with.

Since we are here, let’s go together.
