874. Chapter 874 Those who know current affairs are heroes
Zhang Xu came back to his senses, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and said: "Since you don't want to be punished, then use torture."
Behind him, the jailers responded, but they didn't dare to come forward. They had heard about what happened last night, so naturally they didn't dare to provoke Yun Jingteng.
The master's face turned a little dark. Gongsun Nan was his superior and treated him well. He died in an unknown way yesterday. Although he was a little scared, he still wanted to avenge his superior.
However, now that I saw that none of the jailers dared to step forward, my chest suddenly ached with anger.
"Didn't you hear what my lord said? My lord asked you to torture me!" the master yelled with his little eyes wide open.
The master was unhappy, and the jailers were even more unhappy. If you're not afraid of death, why don't you go ahead and yell at them?
However, I wanted to think about it, but I didn't dare to yell out. I could only step forward and give in, but the master pointed at the two fierce jailers and forcibly ordered: "You, you, you two,
Use a whip dipped in salt water and whip him hard until he is willing to tell the truth."
Of course, the master can give orders here. It's not that Zhang Xu is weak and can be bullied, but that he doesn't know what to do now and can't offend both parties, so he lets the master make the decision.
A look of depression flashed across the faces of the two jailers, and they did not dare to say anything. After a moment of hesitation, they picked up a whip dipped in salt water and whipped it on Yun Jingteng.
Phew! The whip hit Yun Jingteng with a sound that broke through the air, and then, just like yesterday, a cold wind hit. The oil lamp in the cell and the torches on the corridor were instantly extinguished, and two fantasies of whips rang out in the cell,
It seems that the whip was used to draw out the time.
Suddenly, everyone's hair stood on end, and some of the timid ones even screamed in surprise.
After a few muffled screams, the entire cell fell into silence.
"Who?!" The master looked around with a vigilant look. At the same time, he formed a circle with his right thumb and index finger and raised it to his mouth, intending to blow a whistle to notify the nearby guards.
"I advise you not to waste your efforts." A cold female voice came, and the next moment, the master fell down silently with a "bang" sound.
This sound was like a heavy blow, hitting everyone's already trembling hearts.
"You all go out on your own. I will spare your lives. Otherwise, Gongsun Nan will be your fate yesterday." The cold female voice continued.
Listening to this voice, Zhang Xu was shocked. It turned out to be the voice of Queen Yun.
Zhang Xu was just dazed for a moment, then he immediately came back to his senses, then stood up and said to everyone: "Back off! Get out!"
After saying that, he left first.
When all the jailers heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief and then swarmed out.
Zhang Xu was very upset because he had not completed the task, but he was not so entangled anymore.
Early the next morning, he entered the palace early and knelt outside Dongfang Chen's bedroom to apologize.
Dongfang Chen got up, came out, and after asking about the situation, he was so angry that he kicked Zhang Xu on the shoulder. Zhang Xu was a civil servant, while Dongfang Chen was a martial arts practitioner. In anger, he was kicked backwards and flew away.
"Come here, pull him down and throw him into the prison. You don't want to be such a submissive slave." Immediately, a guard came up, pulled Zhang Xu, and took off his clothes outside the palace.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me." Zhang Xu was dragged out, coughing and thanking him.
Dongfang Chen snorted coldly and walked towards the front hall.
