Officials from Taiwan San of Huaibei Province were placed in the prefect's mansion in the city by Liu Yu. If you want to see Liu Yu, you were also rejected.

At this time, all the criminals were escorted to the palace, and the entire Dongning Prefecture entered a high degree of martial law. In the future, only a few streets would be opened in the city to facilitate the changes of the people. This was Liu Yu's consideration of the stability of Dongning Prefecture.

Liu Yu temporarily removed the position of commander or captain of the garrison battalion in Dongning Prefecture and surrounding cities, and used it as a general in the new army, leaving behind a unit of the border army and a unit of the new army to cooperate with Liao Mingsheng to handle the case. Liu Yu was afraid that when the case investigation was underway, a military riot occurred in Huaibei Province, and at that time, others suppressed the rebellion in the south, and it was beyond the reach of the whip.

Liu Yu was in the palace and did not go to bed. He just looked at the storytelling book and held his head with his hands. He heard footsteps in a daze. Liu Yu squinted his eyes slightly and then closed his eyes again.

"Mingsheng, how come the case is not being tried?" Liu Yu asked in a low voice.

Liao Mingsheng tiptoed into the door, but unexpectedly woke Liu Yu up, and said a little afraid: "I am here to see if the prince is there, if there are other places where I need to be sent to me."

"Do your business, I will leave Dongning Mansion tomorrow. I will urge you to do things here before I leave today. If you feel tired, I will tell me, I will allow you to go back and rest."

Liao Mingsheng thought to himself that the regent stayed up late here, and if he was tired, he would be in trouble and could not get along with his future. Liu Yu said that he was urging him here was nothing more than the result of his interrogation. If he could not achieve any results in the interrogation tonight, Liu Yu would definitely not buy it. Maybe he would change someone to be the presiding judge the next day.

"I am really tired of serving the prince. Prince, if you want to rest, I might as well arrange it..."

Liu Yu opened his eyes and looked at Liao Mingsheng, who was showing off his charming eyes. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said, "I don't plan to leave the palace tonight."

"The prince wants to rest in the palace, and I will definitely do the work properly..."

"I know you want to find a woman for me." Liu Yu said, "When you are so sleepy that you can't open your eyes, will you be willing to think about something else? Keep your filial piety and investigate the case well, so that you can deserve the trust of me in you. I am not here to accompany you!"

Liao Mingsheng asked for his own boredom. He shrank his head and bowed: "I will give up now. There will be news for the interrogation there soon to send you the prince."

When Liao Mingsheng retreated, Liu Ding, who was dozing off, yawned and frowned and looked at the direction of Liao Mingsheng leaving at the door. Liu Yu was still holding his chin with his hands and looking in a sleepy state. He suddenly reminded: "When I am not here, Brother Qi must be careful to look at Liao Mingsheng. You can't let something happen to him, nor can you let him act too recklessly."

"Yes." Liu Ding nodded, turned around and crawled on the table and fell asleep covered.

Liu Yuze suddenly seemed to lose sleep. He stood up and took the guards to the yard where the prisoners were imprisoned in the palace.

At this time, the detained in the palace were all important criminals in the Niu Lu conspiracy case, with about twenty or thirty people, and the rest were detained in different places. As for some Confucians in the local area, they were directly under house arrest. Liu Yu had previously received news that someone in the city wanted to escape with his family overnight. As a result, the family drowned in the moat, some were killed and some were injured, and the living were also escorted back.

The high-pressure attitude of the court has made Confucian officials and scholars in the entire Huaibei Province feel timid, and they are eager to leave this place of failure as soon as possible.

Liu Yu entered the yard. He heard a shout from afar. The patrol guards were about to salute. Liu Yu waved his hand and told them not to disturb the people inside. He himself approached the interrogation room with a bright light. The door of the interrogation room was closed, but the window was looking at the crack. Liu Yu stood at the door and looked inside. At this time, Liao Mingsheng was whipping his former boss, Ling Hui, with a whip on his face. Ling Hui was wearing only a white single dress. After being tortured, he knelt on the ground and lay on a long wooden bench above the knee. His head was disheveled and his daughter Ling Xiuer was tied to the punishment rack.

"Ba, bha..."

Liao Mingsheng looked furious, and every whip that seemed to be able to roll up the flesh and blood on Ling Hui's back. He yelled while beating him: "If you don't say it, if you don't say it, you dare to offend the prince, you are impatient."

Ling Xiu'er only knew how to cry at this time. Under the red light of the brazier, her face looked pitiful. Her crying did not arouse Liao Mingsheng's pity. Liao Mingsheng was full of hatred for Ling Hui, and he would step on Ling Hui to take over at this time. He would not have any kindness and mercy.

Liao Mingsheng whipped more than a dozen whips, and was so tired that he was panting. He stopped to rest in his hands. Ling Hui, who had been beaten for more than a dozen whips, was still unyielding at this time and said viciously: "You rats are used by thieves. You will die sooner or later without a place to bury you."

"Looking for death!" Liao Mingsheng was angry when he heard this, and he raised his whip and whipped Ling Hui's neck. He was beaten by this huge force. Even Ling Hui couldn't hold on to his body, so he fainted directly on the wooden bench.

"Get water and wake him up!" Liao Mingsheng shouted.

The guards reminded him: "Master Liao, if you beat me like this, I'm afraid this person can't stand it..."

"You care..." Liao Mingsheng whispered, and immediately shrank and wanted to kneel down to salute. At this time, Liu Yu had already pushed open the door and walked into the interrogation room.

"Prince, why are you here?" Liao Mingsheng knelt on the ground and felt a little timid in his heart.

Liu Yu said coldly: "But come and take a look, I really don't know how Mingsheng you are proficient in prison affairs on weekdays. Do you still remember how I remind you?"

Liao Mingsheng naturally knew which sentence Liu Yu was talking about was "reminder".

"The prince said that he was not allowed to be humble and slandered and framed."

Liu Yu pointed to Ling Hui who was still unconscious and said, "Is this the result of your unyielding move?"

Liao Mingsheng called out, "I am confused by humbleness", and Liu Yu said, "You are so reckless here. How dare I entrust the matter to you?"

Liao Mingsheng was panicked and begged for mercy and said, "Prince, give Huye another chance. Huye will definitely live up to the prince's expectations. Huye took the prisoner's daughter to exchange for her confession, but the prisoner was really stubborn and didn't even care about his daughter's life and death. Huye was confused for a while and forgot the prince's warning."

Liu Yu didn't say anything, but instead looked at Ling Xiu'er, whose hands and feet were tied to the punishment rack. The daughter of a daughter who was so harsh and timid a day ago, who asked Liu Yu for a kite, has now lost her temperament and demeanor, and her crying look is no different from that of an ordinary little girl.

Strong and capable women have their own characteristics, but weak women are just the same.

"Your Highness, my father was just a fool and was used by a traitor. The little woman was willing to be a cow and a horse, so she just wanted your father to let go..."

Liu Yu sneered and said, "Miss Xiu'er's words are bad. I'm afraid the traitor was used by your father for a moment. Now the king of Japan is ruthless, so maybe the next person who gets whipped here, hum, this is the king."

Ling Xiu'er cried and said, "Then please give the little girl some time. The little girl persuades her father to make the father atone for his merits..."

Liu Yu was silent for a moment and sat on the only table in the interrogation room. He picked up a piece of charcoal and put it in the brazier, as if thinking about the feasibility of what Ling Xiuer said. However, Liao Mingsheng on the side knew that Liu Yu didn't believe that Ling Xiuer would persuade his father to "abandon the darkness and turn to the light."

Liao Mingsheng leaned over and said, "Prince, since this girl is willing to be a cow and a horse for you, it's better..."

Liu Yu turned his eyes and glared at Liao Mingsheng, and Liao Mingsheng immediately stopped talking. Liu Yu put down his iron clamp and said, "These Confucian scholars who are well-read, pay attention to integrity. They first record some of the evidence in his name, and first make him rebellious with his accomplices, and then it will be much more convenient to do things."

Liao Mingsheng was a little happy on his face. He probably understood what Liu Yu meant. Liu Yu wanted to "frame", and that was not him framed himself, but "framed by orders". As long as he relies on Ling Hui, Ling Hui would be no one on both sides in the future, and it would be much easier to dismantle his self-esteem and integrity.

"The prince is brilliant..."

Liao Mingsheng smiled and said, "From the perspective of the humble ones, those who are willing to confess, let them speak in a unified manner. They say that this surnamed Ling is a traitor. They want to be a bitch and a archway. Then let the lady of the Ling family write on the confession, so that they will not be afraid that no one will believe it."

Liu Yu said: "I will leave this matter to you. Don't forget my king's advice."

When Liao Mingsheng heard Liu Yu's words, Liu Yu affirmed his strategy of concealing and did not intend to remove his position as the presiding judge. He immediately showed joy on his face.

Liu Yu walked straight to Xing Jie, stretched out his hand with a gloomy smile, and raised Ling Xiu'er's chin. For some reason, when Liu Yu saw Ling Xiu'er, he thought of Zhao Yingxi, who used to be like a little pepper. When he first met, he also looked like a "female hero", but after encountering a drastic change, he was so weak.

Ling Xiu'er was held on her chin with her right hand, and she stopped crying. Liu Yu wiped away the tears from her face and said coldly: "I was originally planning to send Miss Xiu'er back to the house. Now it seems that the girl would do something for your father to prove that your father really regrets it. Miss Xiu'er must do her best to cooperate, otherwise the male members of the Ling family will be separated from you forever, and you will often be flirted by some strange men in the future."

Liu Yu said very coldly, and Ling Xiu'er's body was trembling. Although what Liu Yu said was intimidating, she also understood that it was basically the truth. Now Ling Hui's rebellion is almost a case of confirmation. If Liu Yu had not wanted to get someone's whereabouts, her family might have been beheaded the next day, and the female members of the Ling family would have been sent to slaves. In the future, she would have to eliminate the good and live a life of involuntary power.

"Your Highness... the little girl knows... how to do it." Ling Xiu'er said in a panic.

"Yes." Liu Yu then took his hand back and ordered Liao Mingsheng, "Take her down and the father and daughter cannot meet again before the case is decided. Be sure to present the results of the first round of interrogation before Tianming left."
