"Only Cui Meimei and Chen Shi did it..."

The fat woman who had been kneeling beside him raised her head abruptly and immediately retorted loudly when she heard this.

"You're talking nonsense. I didn't do that. Who else could it be but you? I don't even have the qualifications to enter this torture chamber. Isn't that what you said?"

"No, I didn't, I didn't, I really just came here yesterday just to watch..."

"You are, I am not..."

"Madam Xie! We are just following orders!"

"Then we, we have no way to do the task assigned by the emperor!"

"Yes, yes, there is nothing we can do..."

The women were shouting and yelling...

Qin Qiong just watched and listened coldly.

Cui Miaomiao's teeth were finally pulled out. She was shaking with pain all over and was thrown to the ground by Mao Li.

Mao Li looked at Qin Qiong, and Qin Qiong pointed to the next one. The woman was shocked and screamed desperately.

"Madam Xie! This is really the Emperor's order. We really can't do anything about it! You should go find the Emperor... Please spare me!"

The other two girls also shouted...

"Humph, the emperor's order, does the emperor want you to torture her to death bit by bit?"

Qin Qiong asked coldly.

"Did the emperor issue an order to torture her in some way?...Isn't it because she talked back and didn't beg for mercy?"

"...Isn't it because her family didn't come in time to give you the silver?"

When Mao Li and Ming Zi heard what Qin Qiong said, they didn't wait for Qin Qiong to say it a second time. They just grabbed the woman's head and started to beat her hard...

After all, Mingzi was younger. When he saw the body of the little girl on the stage, his heart was filled with anger and pity, and he did not show any mercy when he struck the girl.

Suddenly, ghosts and wolves howled in the room again...

Qin Qiong just sat there and watched, not shaken at all by the screams of these people and the bloody scene.

Finally, all the teeth of the four women were pulled out. They no longer had the strength to cry out. They just hung there, groaning in pain.

The fat woman was so frightened that she couldn't move.

Qin Qiong pointed at Cui Sizheng and said, "Drag her over here and put her hands on this platform."

After saying that, she stood up and picked up something that looked like a hammer beside her.

"Which hand did you hit her with?"

She lowered her head and asked Cui Sizheng who was pressed on the stone platform.

At this time, Cui Sizheng had lost her usual dignity. Her mouth opened and closed in pain as she begged for mercy, while trying to break free. Unfortunately, now she was just like those women who had been treated like this by them, and there was no way to escape.

Qin Qiong tore off half of her collar and covered her hands with it, then began to hit them with his fingers one by one...

The woman lost her voice because of the pain, and the people behind her were completely frightened.

When the night completely enveloped the imperial city, the small courtyard inside the Ministry of Punishment, which was used for executions, also fell silent.

The four girls fell to the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or alive. Their teeth were pulled out and their fingers were smashed. Qin Qiong inserted steel needles into the mute points of all of them, making them unable to speak, and then hit the Chengguang points on the top of their heads hard.

The fat woman had fainted. After Qin Qiong dealt with those people, he walked over to her and slapped her a few times to wake her up.

"Listen, you haven't seen us and you don't know what happened"

Qin Qiong looked at the fat woman's eyes coldly but calmly and gave her instructions.

"Tomorrow morning, you go to the inner court and tell them that you can't find the four of them. Do you understand? Don't be afraid. From now on, they can't speak or see anything, so you don't have to worry. Just tell them that you can't find them and tell others not to come looking for them. You don't have to worry about anything else. Do you understand?"

The woman nodded immediately.

"Now, we need to get out. Do you have any ideas?"

"...Yes, that Cui Miaomiao has a token to enter and leave the palace."

"Okay, if you get us out, I'll remove your needle and you'll be fine. Do you understand?"

The fat woman nodded quickly.

Several people soon arrived at the gate where servants entered and exited the palace. The woman showed the token and said that the Ministry of Punishment had agreed to allow the deceased's family to send the person out. The gatekeeper had seen this kind of thing many times, so he let Mao Li push the cart out.

Mingzi and Qin Qiong did not go out, because if they did, they might not be able to come in tomorrow. They watched Mao Li walk away, and then they returned to the inner courtyard together. When they were about to reach the Ministry of Punishment, Qin Qiong removed the steel needle under the fat woman's chest, waved his hand, and let her go.

The woman took a few steps back, turned around and ran away. Mingzi was a little worried and wanted to chase her, but Qin Qiong stopped him.

"If she goes back and lies down to rest obediently, she will be fine tomorrow. If she screams and shouts now, she will be dead in less than a quarter of an hour."

Qin Qiong said this and turned and left.

Mingzi stood there in a daze for a moment, swallowed his saliva unconsciously, lowered his head and carefully followed Qin Qiong back.

When Qin Qiong returned to the small house reserved for her alone, it was already very late and the room was very dark. She did not turn on the light and sat directly on the bed as soon as she entered the room. She just sat there in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Qin Qiong is now very confused. On the one hand, Qin Meiniang's thoughts have once again invaded her heart, making her feel extremely guilty and sad about the death of the little girl.

On the other hand, she felt powerless and angry towards this world. For Qin Qiong himself, she could not tolerate such a state of life. He was not that kind of person.

"Meow--"

The cat's meow was heard again.

Qin Qiong turned around suddenly and immediately left his previous position.

But no, nothing attacked her.

She looked around carefully again, and soon she saw a black kitten slowly walking out of the darkness. She couldn't tell where it came from or how it came out. It was as if it just came out out of thin air.

It walked to a distance of about one meter from Qin Qiong, landed at the head of the bed and sat down, with its small tail wrapped in front of it, and its bright black eyes stared straight at Qin Qiong.

"Meow--" it called again.

Qin Qiong looked at it, not knowing whether it was because she was too tired, but when she saw it coming out like this, she felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Why? Do you always come to me when I'm about to die?"

Qin Qiong said to the little black cat with a self-deprecating smile, and she sat back on the bed.

"Meow--" it called again.

"What did you say? I don't understand. I remember that you could speak even in this state. Why are you frightened by my stunning appearance?"

Once she opened her mouth, Qin Qiong felt that there was nothing to be afraid of anymore. She simply leaned back on the quilt and waved to the kitten.

She smiled and said, "Today, my cheap daughter died. I'm not in a good mood. Why don't you come over and keep me company? By the way, do you know the name of that girl?"

"Meow--"

The kitten tilted its head but still didn't say anything.
