Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

The Imperial Palace, in front of the Heavenly Prison.

Ye Chen just got off the carriage.

"The Queen Mother has arrived."

A eunuch reminded.

Ye Chen turned his head and saw Su Mengjiao sitting in a sedan chair carried by twelve people, slowly walking towards him.

This is the Queen Mother's proposal.

Wait for Su Mengjiao to get off the sedan chair.

Ye Chen went to meet him.

"Emperor, you asked me to come here. What exactly do you want to discuss with me?"

Su Mengjiao looked at Ye Chen with some confusion. She still didn't understand why Ye Chen asked her to come.

If it's just about interrogating the prisoner, wouldn't it be enough for Shen Qiu to report to her later?

"Queen Mother, there are some things I cannot explain clearly now. I will explain them to you after I have tried the prisoner."

Ye Chen said in a calm tone.

Hearing this, a strange color flashed in Su Mengjiao's eyes, and she nodded slightly.

"Then, Your Majesty, do I need to be present when you interrogate the prisoner?"

"Queen Mother, just listen next door."

Ye Chen smiled slightly, then took Su Mengjiao into the sky prison.

There is a special area in the prison for interrogating prisoners.

There were many torture instruments placed there, and even with torches lit, it looked eerie and gloomy.

Ye Chen sat down in the main seat.

"Bring up the man in black."

soon.

A man in black was dragged up.

A piece of bamboo stick was stuffed in the mouth of the man in black to prevent him from biting his tongue to commit suicide.

When one of them was dragged out, two guards tied him to a cross-like pillar.

This makes it easier to use torture.

The Tianlao is not a proper government office.

Not far from the man in black, in a charcoal stove, the soldering iron had already been burned red.

Ye Chen stared at the man in black with sharp eyes and said, "Take the bamboo stick out of his mouth. Qiu'er, keep an eye on him and don't let him commit suicide."

"Yes!"

Shen Qiu walked to a position only one meter away from the man in black.

At such a close distance, she was confident that she could stop the man in black as soon as he made a move.

"Tell me, what's your name?"

Ye Chen looked into the eyes of the man in black and asked.

The man in black remained silent, but there was a hint of teasing in his eyes as he looked at Ye Chen.

"say."

Ye Chen frowned slightly and said.

The man in black still didn't speak.

"Come here, torture!"

Ye Chen waved his hand and was too lazy to talk nonsense.

A guard stepped forward and picked up the branding iron.

When the man in black saw this, a trace of fear immediately flashed in his eyes, and then his jaw moved violently, as if he was about to bite.

But the next moment, Shen Qiu, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward and slapped the man in black in the face.

The man in black immediately turned his head away, but was dazzled by the slap. The next moment, half of the bamboo stick was suddenly stuffed into his mouth.

“Mmmmm~!”

An indistinct sound came out of the man in black's mouth, his eyes widened, and then the branding iron was already on his chest.

“Sizzle~!”

The sound of flesh being cooked could be heard immediately.

Ye Chen smelled the smell of barbecue.

But the man in black stretched his neck very long, and the veins on his forehead were exposed.

Not everyone can endure such severe pain.

However, the man in black was obviously not an ordinary person. Even though veins were popping out on his forehead and cold sweat was pouring down his face, when Shen Qiu took the bamboo stick out of his mouth, even with his head down, the man in black still looked at Ye Chen with a playful look in his eyes.

"Continue the torture!"

Ye Chen waved his hand. He was too lazy to talk nonsense with the man in black.

It was not until this moment that the man in black frowned slightly.

The next moment, Shen Qiu pinched his chin and forced a piece of bamboo stick into his mouth.

“Mmmmm~!”

The man in black had bloodshot eyes and was sweating profusely. When the branding iron was removed from his body, his face was very pale.

When Shen Qiu took the bamboo stick out of his mouth again, the look he gave Ye Chen was no longer teasing, but fear.

"Torture."

Ye Chen said lightly.

Shen Qiu stuffed the bamboo stick back into his pocket.

Man in black: "Mmmmm~!"

Accompanied by another smell of roasted meat.

The man in black's muscles were all tense, and the pain made the muscles on his face twisted.

When the branding iron was removed from him this time.

When Shen Qiu took the bamboo stick out of the black-clothed man's mouth.

The man in black finally spoke: "Kill, kill, kill me if you dare."

"Humph, torture."

Ye Chen snorted coldly and waved his hand.

"Don't bother, I won't say anything!"

"Uh-huh!"

The man in black's mouth was stuffed with a bamboo stick again.

This time, the veins spread to his neck.

By the time the imperial guards moved Luo Tie away, the man in black had already fainted from the pain.

"Wake him up."

Ye Chen said in a calm tone.

Very quickly, a bucket of cold water was poured on the head of the man in black.

The man in black shuddered and woke up quickly.

"You killed me, you killed me!"

"Okay, I'll satisfy you."

Ye Chen smiled coldly.

"Drag him away and subject him to the most severe punishment until he dies."

Then, the man in black with a look of fear and despair on his face was dragged away.

"Bring someone up again!"

The person brought up this time was a young man dressed in luxurious clothes.

At this moment, the young man was covered in cold sweat and kept wiping it with his hands.

As a candidate who was caught, the young man was originally imprisoned in the cold palace.

But when the man in black was being tortured, this young man and several other candidates were taken to the Sky Prison by Ye Chen and witnessed the entire process of the man in black being tortured.

As the son of a noble family who usually lives a life of luxury, when has the young man ever seen such a scene?

When the young man was tied to the cross-like stick, he couldn't help but scream.

"You, you can't torture me. Do you know who I am?"

"I dared to kill Duke Cao's grandson, and you think I wouldn't dare to torture you?"

Ye Chen asked back.

Hearing this, the young man was stunned, and then felt great fear.

By the time the imperial guards had picked up the branding iron.

The young man was completely panicked.

"Wait, wait, I'll tell you everything!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen narrowed his eyes.

This guy confessed so quickly, his willpower is too weak. Would Yang Dechang let such a person carry out the mission?

Maybe this guy doesn't really want to confess!

Ye Chen had already anticipated this.
