Originally, Qin Song's impression of the torture chamber was gloomy, terrifying, bloody, and brutal. Just thinking about it made him tremble. However, when he entered it again, he felt that it was normal.
Probably because Ying Zheng said that he would spare his life, the executioners did not use any excessive means. They only used the whip. They did not ask for a confession and whipped him to vent their anger.
Although Qin Song could endure the pain now, it was still painful. Especially when the whip repeatedly whipped the same part of his body, he would twitch in pain. However, in the end, it was as if he had become numb.
When Qin Song woke up again, he did not know if he had fallen asleep or fainted. The people in front of him were replaced by Ying Zheng and several of his bodyguards.
Ying Zheng stood in front of him, wearing a black robe. He held a whip in his hand. His eyes were malicious and his aura was oppressive. It was impossible to tell that he was seriously injured.
Seeing the young man wake up, Ying Zheng snorted coldly. He lifted his chin with the whip and asked, "How have you been feeling these days?"
Qin Song had lost too much blood and was not very energetic. He relied on these people to feed him ginseng soup from time to time to prolong his life. How could he have the energy to answer his nonsense? He lowered his eyes and did not say anything.
Ying Zheng said coldly, "Who was the assassin that night? What is your relationship with him? Where are you hiding now? "
Qin Song was so tired that he could not even lift his eyelids. He did not listen carefully to Ying Zheng's questions. He still closed his eyes and rested.
* Slap! * Qin Song felt a sharp pain on his shoulder, as he had been whipped. It was accompanied by a cold shout from Ying Zheng, "Speak!"
Qin Song was used to being whipped during this period. Moreover, Ying Zheng's whip was not very painful. He lowered his head and did not have any reaction.
Ying Zheng threw down the whip and stepped forward. He grabbed Qin Song's neck and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Qin Song, I know you're not afraid of torture, but I also know what you're afraid of … I promised you that I wouldn't use force on you, but I didn't promise that I wouldn't let others use force on you!"
Noticing that Qin Song suddenly opened his eyes, Ying Zheng exerted a little force with his fingers, put his lips close to the young man's ear and whispered, "If you answer my question properly, I won't allow any man to touch you. Or else, I'll let everyone in this prison have a taste of the world-famous Young Master Qin Song!"
He abruptly flung his hand away.
Qin Song took a few deep breaths and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he looked much more energetic. He said, "Ask away."
Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice, "Who is that assassin in black?"
"No, I don't."
Ying Zheng said coldly, "If you don't know him, why would you help him escape? Why would he help you assassinate him? I saw that he listened to everything you said and was very obedient! "
Qin Song said indifferently, "If we knew each other, Your Majesty would have already become a ghost under my blade. How could you still be here interrogating a criminal?" If the two of them were really in cahoots, why would he be the only one to act at that time?
Ying Zheng said with a cold face, "The imperial bodyguards have been searching the Imperial City for the past few days. They dug out a set of hook locks at the foot of the wall near the West Gate. Does it have anything to do with you?"
"Yes," Qin Song said, "I asked the assassin to bury it there for me so that I could escape." Since the lock had been found, there was no point in denying it. It would only implicate others.
"Nonsense!" Chen Ce shouted, "The peach garden where you assassinated was located is in the east and west of the West Gate. The distance between them is very far. How would you get to the West Gate after the assassination? Could it be that you can fly? Or could it be that you have spies in the Imperial Palace? "
Qin Song looked at him and said weakly, "There is a stream in the peach garden. There are a few places where the water is deep and rapid. One of them is only a few dozen feet away from where I assassinated him. I prepared a bamboo pipe next to it. I can use it to breathe and hide under the water. After the search is over, I can leave in the opposite direction … If the search is strict, I can go down the stream and find an opportunity to escape from the Laundry Bureau. "
Ying Zheng didn't think much of it, but seeing Chen Ce raise his sleeve to wipe his sweat, how could he not know that this young man's method was very feasible? In other words, if he hadn't been lucky enough to miss the dagger by a little and Qin Yi had just arrived, this young man would have already killed him and escaped.
Ying Zheng was even angrier. He shouted, "Didn't you say that you didn't know the assassin?"
Qin Song calmly said, "He held me hostage because he misunderstood my identity. He felt guilty, so I took the opportunity to ask him to lend me a weapon to defend myself. I also buried a hook so that I could use it to escape in the future."
Ying Zheng's face darkened. He said coldly, "Although you have been in the Imperial Palace for a long time, your movements are limited. No one talks to you. How could you know the layout of the Imperial Palace like the back of your hand? There must be someone who tipped you off, working with you from the inside … Tell me, who ordered you to assassinate me? "
These things, he would know after looking at them a few times. Did he need someone to tell him? Qin Song looked at Ying Zheng and said, "No one."
Ying Zheng said word by word, "I don't believe it."
Qin Song said, "The Qin has destroyed three countries in a row. Da Chu has also been bullied. There are more than ten million people from other countries who want to kill the King Of Qin. They just did what they wanted. Why would they need someone to order them?"
Ying Zheng sneered and said, "Southern Chu is our Daqin's ally. Assassinating the ruler of an ally is tantamount to treason … Qin Song, if you didn't have someone to order you, would you dare to do such a treason?"
Qin Song looked at Ying Zheng. He didn't understand.
Normally, his case didn't need to be investigated. It was obvious why he wanted to assassinate and how he wanted to assassinate. However, Ying Zheng not only investigated it himself, but also asked such an idiotic question. Who in the world didn't know what the alliance between the Southern Chu and the Qin Song meant? If he really succeeded in his assassination, the entire country of Southern Chu would celebrate. Who would punish him for treason?
Ying Zheng said coldly, "So, your answer can't satisfy me … Tell me, how should I deal with you?"
Qin Song bit his lip. After a moment of silence, he said, "What kind of answer does Your Majesty want?"
Ying Zheng said word by word, "I want you to tell me the truth... Who is the one who ordered you to assassinate me? Who is the master behind you? "
Qin Song suddenly understood. His eyes showed anger. He said, "I said, no one!"
Ying Zheng sneered and said, "I don't believe it!"
He said again, "If you tell me the truth, I won't let anyone touch you.
I'll even spare your life and let you go back … Otherwise … "
Ying Zheng leaned close to his ear and said coldly, "I heard that person is your sweetheart? If you want to protect him, I'll fulfill your wish. When all the prisoners and jailers in the prison love you, if you're still alive, I'll even spare your life … If you tell me the truth, I'll let you go immediately. He'll bear all this … Him or you? Qin Song, you choose! "
Qin Song was so angry that his face turned pale and his hands trembled. "Ying Zheng!"
Ying Zheng stepped back and said coldly, "Are you going to confess or not?"
Qin Song didn't say anything.
Ying Zheng shouted, "Guards! Bring … "
"I'll talk … I'll talk!" Qin Song held the iron chain and closed his eyes. He said bitterly, "It's … the Second Prince …"
"Who?"
Qin Song took a deep breath. "The Second Prince … Yi An."
"Nonsense!" A cold smile emerged on Ying Zheng's lips, but he said, "Do you think I don't know what kind of person Yi An is? How could he do such an unjust thing? Qin Song, oh Qin Song, you're actually going to frame Yi An just to survive? "
"I didn't frame him." Qin Song closed his eyes and said in one breath, "It was indeed the Second Prince who ordered me to assassinate you. His Highness said that the three countries of Han, Zhao, and Wei have already been destroyed, but there are still warriors coming to avenge their country. Da Chu is now in danger, but there's not a single warrior willing to fight for our country? The warriors of the three countries can only avenge their country if they assassinate Qin, but the people of Da Chu assassinate Qin to save our country … His Highness said that the King Of Qin's brothers are all dead. He only has one son, but he's very young. His uncles are very ambitious. As long as they kill the King Of Qin, Daqin will definitely fall into civil strife. The three countries' warriors will naturally mobilize their troops.
At that time! "" Qin Song! " An angry voice interrupted Qin Song's words. Qin Song suddenly closed his mouth and looked at the two people who came in. His face suddenly became as pale as death.
The one who interrupted him was Qiu Yun. She said angrily, "Qin Song, I didn't think you were this kind of person. His Highness has been running around trying to send you back to Da Chu, and now he's come to plead on your behalf …"
"Qiu Yun!" Yi An said coldly, "Don't say anymore."
He didn't even look at Qin Song once. He only looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Qin Song has confessed to Yi An, and Yi An doesn't dare to refute. Yi An … just wait for His Majesty to punish him."
Then, without waiting for Ying Zheng to answer, he bowed slightly and left.
Qiu Yun looked at Qin Song with red eyes and said, "I admired you before, but I didn't think you were this kind of person. I was blind! Although I … but my heart is clean. Qiu Yun is ashamed to be in the same group as you! "
She turned and left.
Ying Zheng turned to look at the young man, whose face was deathly pale and had his lips tightly pursed since the appearance of Yi An and Meng Qi. He pinched the young man's chin and forced him to raise his head up, sneered and said, "Qin Song, oh Qin Song, haven't you always respected your identity? But now, even the plaything on my bed is ashamed to be in the same group as you! "
Qin Song didn't answer. Ying Zheng said coldly, "I thought you were only cold-blooded to me, but I didn't expect you to be so cold-blooded and heartless to everyone … In order to protect yourself, you can even betray your sweetheart."
Qin Song pursed his lips and didn't say anything. His face didn't become worse, but gradually calmed down.
Ying Zheng's face darkened and he said, "Guards, take Yi An and Qiu Yun to the prison and torture them!"
Qin Song still didn't say anything.
Ying Zheng's fingers tightened and sank deeply into the young man's cheeks. He said coldly, "You really don't care about their lives?"
"Your Majesty, you don't have to bluff …" Qin Song looked at him and said calmly and firmly, "You don't dare."
Ying Zheng suddenly felt a little absent-minded. It seemed that just yesterday, the young man was also locked in here in a sorry state, and he said to him, "You don't dare."
Everything between him and the young man seemed to have originated from these three words, "You don't dare."
Ying Zheng sneered, "I don't dare?"
Qin Song said lightly, "If Your Majesty tortured or even killed the Second Prince, then what? Would you use this to threaten the Chu Dynasty and force them to send a large sum of compensation, or would you directly send troops to Da Chu? "
He didn't wait for Ying Zheng to answer and continued, "If it's the former … everyone knows that the King Of Qin's temperament is tyrannical. How can the hatred of almost losing his life be appeased by mere money? If Your Majesty doesn't send troops, the world will know that Your Majesty is strong on the outside but weak on the inside and bluffing. Da Qi's troops will come soon. If the King Of Qin sends troops, then I will have to thank Your Majesty on behalf of Da Chu. Today, Da Chu still has the strength to fight. If you wait for a few more years, when Daqin consolidates its power, Da Chu will be meat on the chopping block … "
Ying Zheng said coldly, "Our Daqin has destroyed three countries in a row. We have many soldiers and generals, and we are at the peak of our power. What makes you think that our Daqin is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and that we will be afraid of Da Qi?"
Qin Song said, "At the beginning of spring this year, the price of food in the Daqin capital has been rising. Logically speaking, we should have opened the warehouse to stabilize the price of food, but the Daqin court has not responded at all. Previously, Tai-shu Zhi said that there was a bandit problem on the Xiling Road, which is an important road. If there is a hidden danger, it should be completely eliminated. However, Tai-shu Zhi suggested enlistment. A month ago, Cao Zijin raided two rich families. It was such a small matter, but he reported the amount of food and money he obtained … Daqin is in distress everywhere. Your Majesty, do you want me to continue?"
Ying Zheng's anger, which had been suppressed with great difficulty, gushed out again. He said coldly, "Do you think that the only way to take people's lives is to announce to the world and announce the punishment? A single word from this Lonely One can make him die without a sound! "
Qin Song sneered and said, "If it was in the past, it would naturally be King Qin who would do whatever you say. Now that the Daqin capital has built a recruitment hall, recruiting talents from all over the world … I don't know if they have found any talents, but there must be a lot of spies from all over the world. King Qin was stabbed by an attendant of the hostage residence, and then the second prince died an unnatural death … How could the world not know the clues? Last winter, it snowed heavily on the grassland, and many cows and horses froze to death. Da Qi is ready to make a move … "
Ying Zheng only felt that the anger in his chest was about to explode. He shouted angrily, "Qin Song!"
Qin Song did not speak anymore.
Ying Zheng took a few deep breaths and said, "You framed him because you believed that I did not dare to kill him?"
Qin Song said coldly, "Isn't it because His Majesty wants me to say this answer, that's why I said it?"
Ying Zheng said word by word, "I don't believe it!"
If it was just now, he would have believed it. However, this young man had clearly calculated everything clearly. How could he become enemies with Yi An because of his threat?
Qin Song hesitated for a moment, but he still spoke. After all, whether he said these things or not, Ying Zheng would see it. "His Highness the second prince cannot stay in Daqin forever … His Majesty the King Of Chu has long been hollowed out by peace and happiness. Although he is in his fifties, he can die at any time. His Highness the first prince's temperament is no different from that of the King Of Chu. If he ascends the throne, would Da Chu wait for the country to be destroyed? Southern Chu has no lack of knowledgeable people who have long been dissatisfied with the cowardice of the imperial court. If the second prince carries the name of assassinating Qin, it will attract the attention of many people, and the people of the three countries with lofty ideals will also fight to join … "
"Qin Song!" He punched the wall beside Qin Song's face. Qin Song closed his mouth and did not say anything.
Ying Zheng gasped a few times and forced himself to calm down. He said, "Good, good calculation … Didn't you just say that if I did not want the Qi people to take the opportunity to invade, I must help you hide this matter? How will the people in the world know that he is going to assassinate and come to join us? "
"How is it possible to hide such a big matter completely?" Qin Song was silent for a moment and said, "Your Majesty only needs to pretend to hide it. After all, the King Of Qin is lustful and muddle-headed, and the whole world knows …"
If he killed Yi An but let go of the Chu, it would mean that the Daqin was strong in appearance but weak in reality. But if he protected Yi An, it would mean that he, Ying Zheng, was addicted to the beauty of the most handsome man in the world, Yi An, and could not extricate himself …
"Good, good." Ying Zheng nodded. "You are indeed sparing no effort for him. Even if the assassination fails, you will pave a bright path for him. If the assassination succeeds, the Daqin will have internal strife, and Yi An will naturally be roped in and his life will not be in danger. Plus, with the fame of assassinating me, it is not impossible for him to unify the world …"
Ying Zheng raised the young man's head and looked into his eyes, then said with a cold voice, "Young Master Qin Song is an extremely intelligent man, and you've calculated everything clearly … But, have you ever calculated what kind of end you will end up with?"
Qin Song did not say anything.
Ying Zheng said, "I know that you are not afraid. You are not afraid of pain, death, or losing your reputation … Now, even Yi An cannot be your weakness … But do you know that in this world, there are many ways to make people wish they were dead …"
Qin Song said coldly, "Your Majesty, as the monarch, your words carry enormous weight. Qin Song will answer all of your questions. Your Majesty, are you going to go back on your words?"
Ying Zheng ignored him and said in a cold voice, "Come in!"
More than ten people in white robes came in one after another. They held trays in their hands and placed them in front of Qin Song one by one. Qin Song looked at the candles, silver nails, and string of beads in a daze. When he saw more than ten jades of different materials and sizes, his face finally changed. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng. He said coldly, "Ying Zheng, killing people is just a matter of time … Do you really want to humiliate me to this extent?"
Ying Zheng smiled coldly and said, "I said that I will not let men touch you. But these people are not men … Come, serve Qin Song Gongzi."
Qin Song shouted angrily, "Ying Zheng!"
Ying Zheng stepped back and said indifferently, "Our Qin Song Gongzi is very fierce. First, block his mouth. Don't let him bite his tongue … Although the Godly Doctor is outside, it will not be nice if there is blood involved in romantic affairs."
Qin Song, you asked for it.
The knife that I suffered was painful to the heart … If this is the only way to hurt you and make you feel as much pain as I do, then don't blame me for being heartless …
He coldly looked at the young man who began to struggle with all his might. He watched as the young man straightened the iron chain. He watched as the young man's wrist was pierced by the iron band and blood flowed down. He watched as the young man tried his best to avoid the dirty hands on his body. He watched as the young man tilted his head and gritted his teeth to prevent the eunuch from stuffing the black man's thing into his mouth. He watched as the young man finally closed his eyes as if he had given up everything …
Qin Song felt very bad now. He felt that he was about to explode … Not because he was angry, but because he was really going to explode.
When those people approached him with all kinds of things, his heart was bursting with anger and he could not control himself. Suddenly, it was as if a crack had been opened in something. A huge force was cheering excitedly and wanted to break through the barrier and return to his body …
That disgusting thing was rubbing against his lips. An unknown hand was reaching into his lapel …
Get lost! Get lost!
An invisible shattering sound rang in his mind. A huge force poured in. Qin Song groaned. Pain came from every corner of his body. He could almost hear every cell in his body groaning and cracking. Damn it, I can't hold it anymore!
Qin Song did not care about the pain all over his body. He opened his eyes. A pair of blood-red eyes were full of murderous intent. He held the iron chain and was about to exert force when a scream came from nearby. The messy hands on his body disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Qin Song looked blankly at Ying Zheng, whose eyes were red. He was waving his sword like a madman. The eunuch, who had just introduced the use of the device to him with a grim smile, was now rolling and crawling in the small space. He screamed, "Your Majesty, please spare my life … Your Majesty …"
In a moment, the torture room was full of corpses. Ying Zheng seemed to be extremely angry. After killing people, he was still angry. He turned everything around him over crazily. The scarlet tip of the sword pointed at Qin Song. He gasped for breath and said, "Qin Song, Qin Song, I'll kill you, okay?"
Qin Song did not have the energy to pay attention to him at the moment. He was retching.
Just now, when his anger was slightly reduced, the force seemed to have lost its power. Not only did it no longer hit the barrier, but even the part that had entered his body retreated like a tide. After that thing went around his body, he felt as if he had been run over by a giant mill several times. There was no part of his body that did not feel uncomfortable.
Seeing that Qin Song was indifferent, Ying Zheng roared and threw his sword with all his strength. It was deeply nailed into the wall beside Qin Song. He only felt that the suppressed anger in his heart was going to burn him to ashes.
Why? Why?
Why could this person kill him, hurt him, and plot against him without any scruples? But he could not tolerate those people touching him with their dirty hands …
Why?
Ying Zheng spat out a mouthful of blood and then laughed wildly.
