Su Tianyang kept beating a drum in his heart. He buried his head and looked sideways at his uncle, hoping to get some clear instructions.

Liu Zhongqing blinked and signaled him to calm down.

This exchange was naturally noticed by Li Yunxing.

You are scheming here in front of him, what do you really think of yourself?

There was a hint of disgust in his eyes, "Su Tianyang, you asked for mercy before I even asked. How many shameful things have you done?"

Liu Zhongqing understood that this was Li Yunxing's deliberate deception.

Su Tianyang looked back at Liu Zhongqing again, who shook his head.

Su Tianyang turned around and bowed respectfully to Li Yunxing.

"I haven't done anything wrong, it's just... I just heard that the prince is cruel, that's why I'm so scared."

When these words were spoken, it caused quite a commotion among the officials.

In fact, if you look closely, many people still have injuries on their faces.

All the officials who resisted yesterday were either killed or beaten and kicked.

If you don't comply, you will be beaten to death and have to be carried up to the main hall.

It's no wonder that Su Tianyang is so scared. Anyone who is suddenly put into a sack and kidnapped will be scared out of his mind.

Many ministers sympathized with Su Tianyang's experience.

Seeing that the situation had changed, Lian Zhan sternly scolded, "How dare you, Su Tianyang, you still don't recruit me from the top of the hall! If you dare to flirt with others here, who gave you such courage?"

This Su Tianyang is really good at selling misfortune.

He had unkempt hair and drooped eyes, looking confused, "I, I'm just a local state pastor. I really don't know why His Royal Highness is doing this?"

Li Yunxing narrowed his eyes and said, "Su Tianyang, I would like to ask you more clearly what's going on with the Jingzhou disaster relief food issue?"

"Disaster relief food? What's wrong with the disaster relief food?"

Su Tianyang has made up his mind to pretend to be stupid until the end.

"It seems that Mr. Su hasn't woken up yet. Let's put on the torture device and loosen Mr. Su's muscles and bones."

"yes!"

Several embroidered censors came forward.

Su Tianyang was shocked, "His Royal Highness..."

The smile in Li Yunxing's eyes did not diminish, but the indifference on his face became more and more visible.

He is definitely not a threat!

Su Tianyang was so frightened by this perception that he knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy, "Your Highness, the relief food is all shipped from the capital. How do I, a local state pastor, know?"

"Your Highness, the Su family is also a famous family in the Wu Dynasty, and we will never disdain to engage in that kind of corruption and bribery!"

Liu Zhongqing was naturally inconvenient to speak because of his biological relationship.

But this does not mean that his minions will remain silent.

Da Honglu Qi Ming took a step forward and said, "Your Highness, I think that using torture in the main hall cannot set an example for the world. Besides, if the foreign countries know about this matter, they may think that our Wu Dynasty is a barbaric country.

, don’t pay attention to any civilized etiquette.”

"I also think what Da Honglu said is reasonable. Your Highness, please think again!"

The voices of the two people were not loud, but every word was clearly heard in Li Yunxing's ears.

He was not angry but smiling, with mockery in his eyes.

"Why, I'm setting an example for the world by using torture at this time? Are the millions of refugees starving to death setting an example for the world?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence.

"Come here, I'll serve you with severe punishment!"

"yes!"

The two embroidered censors rushed forward and lifted Su Tianyang up.

In order to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide, Jiang Chang directly stuffed a piece of linen cloth into his mouth.

Now, even if Su Tianyang wanted to do something, he couldn't say it.

He kept struggling "Uh-huh" and looked at Liu Zhongqing for help.

Liu Zhongqing saw it but never moved. Now that the prince knew the suffering of the people in Jingzhou, he was very angry.

Now Su Tianyang cannot avoid this physical pain.

He could only wait for the prince to let go of his resentment, and then Liu Zhongqing would have a chance to speak for him.

The first severe punishment is flogging.

Jiang Chang took the leather whip specially used for executions from the embroidered guard. It was more than one foot long and soaked in salt water.

When thrown onto a person's body, not only the skin and flesh will be torn, but the salt water will also pierce into the flesh and blood. It not only has the function of disinfection and prevents the victim from contracting diseases, but also has a double sense of pain, allowing the victim to feel the cruelty of whipping.

Jiang Chang shouted, and the whip wind whirred and tore through the hall.

Everyone took a few steps back unconsciously, for fear of being hit by the whip.

The moment the whip fell on Su Tianyang's body, a trail of blood had already appeared on the slashed flesh, but his clothes had not yet been completely torn.

"Ugh!" Su Tianyang screamed, so painful that tears fell down.

Some people who were scared had covered their eyes and did not dare to look anymore.

This second one fell directly on the shoulder.

The whip wind whizzed like a snake, and the whip seemed to have eyes, picking out the areas with less flesh. It was painful and spicy.

"Woo! Woo!" Su Tianyang was shaking all over in pain, whimpering indistinctly.

Li Yunxing stood aside expressionlessly, watching Su Tianyang being tortured in full view of the public.

Many people couldn't bear to look directly at him. They didn't expect that Li Yunxing could be so vicious.

Severe punishments were used in front of them, which frightened many civil servants who only knew how to read and practice calligraphy. They were sweating profusely.

The generals were not as weak as the civil servants. Seeing such a tragic scene, they couldn't help but close their eyes, and a sense of fear rose in their hearts.

"Pah, pah, pah!"

"ah!"

As the frequency of the whip falling on the human body increased, screams could be heard endlessly.

The expression on Li Yunxing's face did not change at all, and he did not even twitch his eyebrows.

The nine whips were obviously not many, but they seemed to hit every minister's heart with a huge boulder.

They looked at the young and handsome prince with fear in their hearts.

"Ah, it hurts! It hurts so much!"

Su Tianyang had fainted from the pain and was still wailing.

Li Yunxing said expressionlessly, "Wake him up."

"yes!"

"Your Highness, please spare your life! Your Highness, spare your life!"

Almost at the same moment, Su Tianyang woke up from a coma and shouted for mercy, "I really didn't mean to deceive His Highness. I really didn't know. Please spare me this time!"

"I thought you had fainted, but it turned out to be false again?"

Su Tianyang swallowed and lay on the ground without daring to get up.

There were nine whip marks on his back, burning with pain, and the blood flowed down his spine and onto the floor.

Su Tianyang couldn't stop crying, but he knew that Li Yunxing wanted his life!

Li Yunxing narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Su Tianyang, with an evil smile on his lips.

"Now, are you awake?"

Su Tianyang didn't know how to answer it, and wanted to look back at Liu Zhongqing's face.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Chang grabbed his head and forced him to look up at the prince.

"You can answer whatever I ask."

"You still dare to look around, are you expecting someone to save you?"
