Chapter 330: The Means Are Too Cruel
Chapter 330: The Means Are Too Cruel
Lu Jiangnian walked up to Feng Wei, looked him up and down, then turned to the emperor and said, "If I'm too gentle, I'm afraid I won't be able to get anything out of him."
The emperor understood immediately: "Just ask, I have seen all kinds of scenes, I don't care about such a thing."
However, Concubine Zhao is a woman, and I'm afraid she can't bear to see bloody things.
"Princess Zhao..."
Concubine Zhao spoke first: "Your Majesty, even if you skin this man alive in front of me, I won't blink an eye. I must stay here."
The emperor didn't say anything else. He did have good intentions, but unfortunately others didn't appreciate it.
Concubine Zhao's personality is not at all pleasing.
Lu Jiangnian's face was exceptionally stern, his thin lips pressed into a ruthless arc. "Feng Wei, you are truly courageous. You actually dared to assassinate the Third Prince. I'll give you one more chance."
His voice was not loud, but it lowered the temperature in the room quite a bit.
"Tell me, who ordered you to do that?"
Feng Wei's eyelids moved, but he remained silent.
When meeting the emperor, no sharp weapons were allowed. Lu Jiangnian's soft sword had been left outside the door. He stretched out a finger and pressed Feng Wei's acupoints several times. Feng Wei immediately fell to the ground and twitched.
His pupils suddenly constricted and his body trembled unconsciously. He was obviously suffering from great torture.
"Now, are you in so much pain that you want to bite your tongue and commit suicide?"
Feng Wei's face was ashen, and he spoke for the first time: "Kill... me..."
Lu Jiangnian sneered: "You are not afraid of death, but you refuse to confess. It seems that you are loyal."
The Third Prince spoke at the right moment: "As a dog raised by the Crown Prince, the one who is loyal to him is naturally the Crown Prince. Lu Jiangnian, you still haven't asked anything yet?"
"Are you going to shield the prince?"
Lu Jiangnian didn't even glance at the Third Prince. He squatted down and looked at Feng Wei, whose face was twitching and twisted, expressionlessly. "If you don't want to tell me, then let's see how tough your bones are."
Then, he tapped Feng Wei's chest a few more times. Feng Wei's face suddenly turned purple, as if he couldn't breathe at all.
Feng Wei's eyes were bulging and his veins were popping out, making him look very scary.
Lu Jiangnian took advantage of the time and patted Feng Wei twice.
Feng Wei was suddenly able to breathe smoothly. After a few coughs, his complexion looked a little better. The feeling of suffocation and dying was really terrifying.
Lu Jiangnian sneered, "Say it or not."
Feng Wei still looked unmoved.
Lu Jiangnian's eyes sharpened: "It's quite interesting, but I don't know if you can hold on any longer."
As he spoke, he placed his palm on Feng Wei's collarbone, turned it into a hook, and using his internal strength, pierced Feng Wei's skin, and just like that, he forcibly pulled Feng Wei's collarbone out.
Feng Wei let out a scream that was not like a human voice, blood gushed out from his chest, and he almost fainted from the pain.
Concubine Zhao couldn't help but look away. He actually broke bones with his bare hands. It was too bloody. She really underestimated Lu Jiangnian's cruelty.
The third prince shuddered. Lu Jiangnian was so cruel.
Lu Jiangnian placed the bloody bones in front of Feng Wei and said, "Whether you tell me or not, this is just the beginning. From now on, every time I ask you a question, if you refuse to answer, I will tear your bones apart one by one."
Feng Wei is dying. From the time he was arrested until now, he has been keeping alive in the hope that one day he can see the person he wants to see.
At this point, he was desperate.
He had seen Lu Jiangnian's interrogation method once before, and it was truly worse than death.
He didn't want to fall into Lu Jiangnian's hands, and after suffering so much pain, he still couldn't escape the fate of death.
Well, people like him really deserve to die.
Although the development of the matter was different from what was originally predicted, since it has come to the attention of the emperor, I believe the second prince should be satisfied.
There was no need for him to hold on any longer; he felt that he couldn't hold on any longer.
Feng Wei finally shouted, "It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who ordered me to assassinate the Third Prince."
After saying this, he was about to bite his tongue to commit suicide.
Lu Jiangnian was quick to remove his jaw.
"wanna die?"
"It's not that easy."
The Third Prince immediately jumped up and said, "Father, you heard it. Feng Wei said it was the Crown Prince who ordered it."
At this moment, the prince arrived.
He calmly saluted the emperor and said, "Father, why is Feng Wei here?"
The emperor's face was exceptionally calm, and he looked at the prince with a sharp gaze: "I was about to ask you something, but you asked me instead."
The Third Prince rushed to the Crown Prince impatiently and said, "Stop pretending! You sent Feng Wei to my house with the intention of assassinating me, but I managed to evade him and I caught him. Do you still want to deny it?"
"Prince, I will never let you go."
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince suddenly realized what was happening. His eyes were clear as he looked at the Emperor, "Father, I swear by my deceased mother that what Feng Wei did was absolutely not ordered by me."
"In fact, he disappeared a few days ago. I have been sending people to look for him and have asked the Sun family to help find out."
The Third Prince snorted coldly: "The Sun family's words cannot be believed."
"You say you don't know, but Feng Wei is your man. Everyone knows that. Do you think you can deny it?"
After hearing this, the prince asked him again, "Third brother, how could I be so stupid? If I really wanted to assassinate you, why would I use Feng Wei?"
"Besides, the situation between you and me hasn't reached a life-and-death struggle yet. There's no need for me to assassinate you."
These words made a lot of sense, and the emperor's expression softened a little.
"You should have heard what he shouted just now. How do you explain this?"
The prince paced over and came to the side of Feng Wei, who was breathing hard. His eyes were dim and he said, "I never thought you belonged to someone else."
"You've been with me for nearly ten years. Who has the ability to force you to do things for him?"
"I treat you well every day."
The last sigh made Feng Wei close his eyes in shame.
He is too embarrassed to see the prince!
Lu Jiangnian watched the emperor's movements out of the corner of his eye.
The emperor took in Feng Wei's expression and must have become suspicious about the matter.
Then, we can take the next step.
"Then, Your Highness, can you provide strong evidence to prove that Feng Wei was instructed by someone else?"
Concubine Zhao said unwillingly, "Words alone are no proof. What if the Crown Prince really wants to do the opposite? Your Majesty, you can't let the Crown Prince get away with it with just a few words."
"If that's the case, I will throw myself headfirst into the ground before His Majesty and beg you to conduct a thorough investigation."
The emperor's forehead twitched, "Alright, if you want to die, go back to your palace. I'm too lazy to watch."
The Third Prince pulled out a token from his bosom: "Father, this is the token I found on Feng Wei. Crown Prince, isn't this yours?"
The prince walked over, picked up the token, and shook his head affirmatively: "I have never seen this token before. The token of the East Palace is not like this."
Lu Jiangnian looked up and his body trembled.
The emperor obviously noticed his entire reaction and gave him a deep look.
Lu Jiangnian looked at him, then raised his hand and touched the wound on his chest.
His fingers, still stained with Feng Wei's blood, fell on his clothes, leaving red spots.
The emperor seemed to be lost in thought, and then he said to Concubine Zhao, "You leave first."
