Teaming up with her mother to take revenge on the scumbags! The Crown Princess becomes the darling o

The executioner lashed the princess with his whip twenty times before finally stopping. By this time, Princess Changning was covered in welts, except for her face.

Sweat poured down his face like water, and he felt incredibly weak.

A basin of salt water was poured over her, and Princess Changning, who was already half-dead, cried out in pain and regained consciousness. Looking at the interrogators in front of her, she spoke haltingly.

"If you have the guts, then kill...me!"

She was afraid of death, but even more afraid of being tortured like this. The whipping had already left her powerless to resist. Looking at the others, she knew that even if she lived, she would not have a good end. So she thought it would be better to die!

Thinking of this, I don't know where the strength came from, but I shouted.

"Kill!"

"Oh, you're a tough nut to crack. What a pity. If you fall into our hands, even if you're made of iron, we'll melt you into pulp!" With that, he stepped forward, picked up a silver needle, and stabbed it hard into Changning's fingernail.

The ten fingers are connected to the heart, let alone her hands which she had pampered for more than ten years. Her skin had never been broken, but now they were in this state. The excruciating pain made Changning feel that she would rather bite her tongue and commit suicide.

The thought had barely formed when her jaw was dislocated, and several of her front teeth were forcibly pulled out. Pain surged through her, and she didn't even have the courage to faint. All she wanted to do at that moment was end this nightmare.

Seeing that she was starting to regain her composure, the interrogator stepped forward and took out a long list of incriminating evidence, asking her questions one by one.

"In the fourteenth year of the Zhengzong reign, the Prince Jin's mansion seized 1,900 mu of fertile land. Do you acknowledge this?"

Changning subconsciously shook his head, and a burnt smell of meat filled his chest. "Ahhhhh... I admit it, I admit it!"

Upon hearing this, the executioner raised the branding iron slightly again, paused for a moment, and then the interrogator spoke again.

"In the fifteenth year of the Zhengzong reign, the Prince Jin's mansion brought out nineteen corpses of innocent people who had been beaten to death. Do you recognize them?"

"I admit it, I admit it..."

"In the 21st year of its establishment, the Huaiyang Cake Shop profited by using substandard ingredients, causing the entire city to suffer from rashes. Do you acknowledge this?"

"recognize……"

"In the nineteenth year of the Zhengzong reign, you drugged the eldest son of the Marquis of Haibo's mansion, ruining his reputation and harming him. Do you admit it?"

"I admit..." Princess Changning regained her senses for a moment before she could finish speaking. "Marquis Haibo, the eldest son... when did I drug him?"

Then the smell of burnt meat wafted out again, and Princess Changning had to shut up in pain. Finally, she had no choice but to shout out.

"Admit it, admit it, admit it."

Since she had just accepted so much, she didn't care about this one. The Marquis of Haibo's mansion, well, now they're going to pin all the blame on her!

The poor people in the Prince Jin's mansion had no room for rebuttal. Thinking of this, Changning shed tears of anguish.

The torture lasted all afternoon. By the time Princess Changning was dragged back to the cell, she was already on the verge of death. The guards, used to this, found a bowl, added some medicine to it, and then forced it down her throat.

"Don't die here. The crimes of the Prince Jin's mansion will probably warrant immediate execution."

"Who knows?"

After saying that, the two left the prison, leaving Changning unable to even let out a wail. The next one would be Princess Jin next door!

……

The joint trial by the three judicial departments proceeded at an unusually rapid pace due to the capture of Prince Jin's heir. From the moment more than four hundred people from Prince Jin's residence were imprisoned, a complete case file was already placed on the Crown Prince's desk on the morning of the sixth day.

Shen Song'an reviewed the case file and finally wrote "Approved" on it, thus bringing the case of Prince Jin to a close.

According to the laws of Dalong, all those who participated in the plot to harm others within the Jinwang Mansion were sentenced to immediate execution, while a small number of accomplices were sentenced to exile to Lingnan, a land three thousand li away. The news was posted throughout the streets and alleys of Bianzhou City.

The people were buzzing with discussion, thinking that the royal family would be protected by the emperor. They never expected that the case would be closed so quickly.

Because the Crown Prince personally oversaw this case, coupled with his previous care for the people in the case of the red rash, the Crown Prince's reputation spread far and wide, making him a future wise ruler in the eyes of many. However, at the same time, he also aroused the jealousy of countless powerful and influential people.

It's just that we need to be humble for now.

The autumn wind was chilly at the execution site.

Many people who had a grudge against Prince Jin's mansion were watching.

Those once arrogant and domineering members of the royal family are now ashen-faced and covered in blood. If it weren't for the nameplates on their backs, it would be impossible to tell who was who!

In comparison, Prince Jin's two children suffered the most torture.

No matter how arrogant or disregardful of human life you are on a normal day, it all becomes a thing of the past at this moment.

The executioner glanced at the sky, then quickly picked up the plaque and threw it on the ground. "The time has come. Execute!"

With a command given, the executioner gulped down several mouthfuls of strong liquor, then strode forward with his knife, grabbed the leading Prince Jin, wiped the blood off his face with a handkerchief, and said to him, "Your Highness, may you have a safe journey!"

With that, he raised his knife and brought it down, and a round head rolled to the ground.

Blood splattered everywhere, but the people standing below clapped and cheered. The Prince Jin's mansion had fallen and its followers had scattered. They had done all sorts of bad things, so naturally no one would say anything for them.

On the second floor of a tavern not far away, a father and his two sons were sitting at a nearby table.

Marquis Hai had been waiting for this day for so many years. Finally, his son's injustice was redressed, and the wicked Prince Jin's mansion was brought to justice! With tears streaming down his face, he put his arm around Haijin's shoulder and said excitedly.

"My son, no one will ever say you're worthless again! It's all in the past, all in the past! Let's go back and have your mother tell everyone to prepare a feast. We're going to drink until we drop!"

If it were according to the usual temperament of the Marquis of Haibo, he would have loved to hold a grand banquet for three days and three nights to celebrate his son's exoneration. But now that a member of the royal family had died, no matter how happy he was, he had to consider the face of His Majesty!

"Yes! Let's drink until we drop. From today onward, elder brother will no longer be troubled by the rumors of the past. From now on, he will live an upright life. His Highness the Crown Prince also said that there are many things waiting for elder brother to handle in the Eastern Palace!"

Upon hearing this, it was clear that Haijin was to be given an important position, which made both Haibo Hou and his second son Haiyu very happy. However, Haijin, the person involved, remained calm as if it were not his own business.

He never doubted the crimes committed by the Prince Jin's mansion.

However, when it came to his own past, Haijin felt that the case had been closed too hastily.

When Princess Changning's attempt to force him into marriage failed, she secretly poisoned him by putting a sleeping potion in his wine. Afterward, she deliberately made him and his servant perform disgraceful acts to attract attention and ruin her reputation, thus avenging herself.

This reasoning had already reached the ears of the nobles.

The common people knew nothing about this matter, so they naturally paid no attention to the secrets of these wealthy and powerful families. But the nobles were different. Within just a few days, people came to their door, praising Haijin in every word they spoke.

Isn't this deliberately being guided?
