Chapter 87 Your circle is so chaotic
The Southern Qi governor held out for less than half an hour.
I finally couldn't hold on any longer.
"Stop! I'll tell you whatever you want to know."
"The Southern Qi governor said in a hoarse voice."
He couldn't take it anymore after experiencing three different forms of torture in that half hour.
The punishments here were far more terrifying than those in his Imperial Shadow Guard prison; he had never seen anything like them.
The first form of punishment was alright; it was just a different kind of iron torture.
He is very good at holding back.
After upholding two criminal laws.
For the third form of punishment, the executioners actually brought in a barbecue grill.
They tied him up like a whole roasted lamb, and smeared oil and sprinkled spices on his body.
It's just like cooking.
He originally thought that even so, it wouldn't be fatal.
But as it was constantly turned and roasted, scorched by the intense heat, and smeared with spices, it continued to burn.
His will was constantly being destroyed.
He could already smell the aroma of roasted meat.
Most importantly, someone actually brought bowls, chopsticks, knives, and forks.
Finally, they even sliced off a few thin pieces of meat from his body, intending to feed them to him.
This completely shattered the will of the Southern Qi governor.
He just wanted a quick and painless end; in his eyes, the people here were nothing short of demons from hell.
"This is only the third punishment, no one will die. It's just to treat your future neighbors to a meal. This will also benefit you, and maybe someone will take care of you in the future."
"Look, I've been thinking of you in every way. Do you want to persevere?"
Qi Ye said with a half-smile.
His words carried a hint of disappointment.
His words were like a devil whispering a temptation in someone's ear.
However, this only made the already collapsed Southern Qi governor even more devastated.
"I'll talk, I'll talk, just give me a quick death."
"The Southern Qi governor said in alarm."
He could have persevered in the past, but having been in a high position for too long, he has lost his former vigor and perseverance.
They simply couldn't stand up to these criminal laws.
If it were the Imperial Shadow Guards below, they would never have been able to pry their mouths open so quickly.
"Alas, we still have many criminal laws here. I originally wanted to ask the Chief Supervisor to review them and give us some valuable advice, but now it seems that's not possible."
Qi Ye continued to erode the will of the Southern Qi governor.
He wanted to completely crush the will of the Southern Qi governor, so that he would no longer have to hide the truth.
“I said, whatever you want to know, I will tell you.”
The Southern Qi governor's will had truly collapsed; he had no desire to continue.
For him now, death is the best reward.
"All right!"
"What is your relationship with the Flowing Cloud King?"
Qi Ye asked dejectedly, his tone clearly showing disappointment.
“I have a cooperative relationship with King Liuyun, and my daughter is King Liuyun’s concubine.”
Without the slightest hesitation, the Southern Qi governor revealed their relationship.
Qi Ye frowned slightly as he began to recall the concubine of the Prince of Liuyun.
However, neither of the two concubines shared the same surname as the Governor of Southern Qi, and their backgrounds had been investigated, with none of them having any connection to the Governor of Southern Qi.
Which concubine is your daughter?
Qi Ye asked.
He couldn't think of any of them as his daughters.
“Wang Yunxin, she is my daughter with the wife of the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.”
The Southern Qi governor blurted it out without even thinking.
Qi Ye was stunned when he heard this.
He never expected that the wife of the dignified Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice would cuckold him.
He remembered that this concubine was highly regarded by the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
She was truly the apple of his eye; it was unexpected that she was born to the Southern Qi governor and his wife.
This entertainment industry is truly chaotic!
I wonder if this Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice knows about this matter.
"Go and investigate the relationship between the wife of the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the Governor of Southern Qi."
Qi Ye addressed the people around him.
"What does the Flowing Cloud King want you to do?"
Qi Ye then inquired about the Southern Qi governor.
"He asked me to help him conceal the true situation in Southern Qi, because he wanted the Marquis of Zhennan's army to suffer heavy losses."
"That's what the Southern Qi governor replied."
He is now determined to die, so he makes no attempt to hide anything.
He answered whatever Qi Ye asked.
After Qi Ye finished asking him for the information he wanted to know...
“Continue the interrogation and make him confess everything.”
After giving the executioner a brief instruction, Qi Ye left to report back.
This interrogation of the Southern Qi governor revealed many secrets to him, which he will report to Qin Wu.
Not long after, Qi Ye arrived at Qin Wu's study.
Report to Qin Wu.
Qin Wu was somewhat surprised after hearing Qi Ye's report.
He truly hadn't expected that the Southern Qi governor would use his position to do so much for Prince Liuyun.
Any one of those things is a capital offense.
Moreover, King Liuyun was not as desireless as he appeared; he only knew how to indulge in lust.
Compared to the King of Jiangnan, this King of Liuyun is truly the one who hides his true strength.
"I understand. Send someone to find the evidence and bring it to me."
"Go."
Qin Wu gave the order in a calm tone.
Since King Liuyun is so blind, there's no need to keep him alive.
Especially the things he did.
They secretly engaged in the buying and selling of people, exploited the common people, and maintained private armies.
However, he kept his actions very well hidden.
Even many officials in the imperial court were his people.
However, while those people were ostensibly his brothers' men, they were actually his own men, the Prince of Liuyun.
It can be said that the influence of Prince Liuyun extends to all the other princes except for himself.
He even infiltrated the imperial palace.
"What a womanizing Prince Liuyun!"
Qin Wu sneered.
His imperial uncle was the real master who kept his abilities hidden.
Not long after, Yu Shu arrived.
"Your Highness, my subordinates just reported that they have found out that the wife of the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice does indeed have a relationship with the Governor of Southern Qi. However, this information is very confidential and very few people know about it."
Even the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice was unaware of this relationship.
Yu Shu reported.
“Interesting, very interesting. Send people to reinvestigate officials of the third rank and above in the capital, and their relatives.”
Qin Wu smiled.
It seems his investigation into these officials in the capital was not thorough enough.
"Yes."
Yu Shu withdrew.
