MTL - Vicious Male Partner is a Girl-Chapter 48
After hearing Shen Fengzhang's words, Fang Zhi became more and more puzzled. She watched Shen Fengzhang refold the small paper bag and stuff it back into the vase.
"Mr. Lang?"
Shen Fengzhang didn't open his mouth to explain his behavior, but told Fang Zhi: "Let Liu Wenchang come to see me in the study."
When Liu Wenchang stepped into the study, he saw a young man in a white robe standing at the window, staring intently out of the window. He remembered that not long ago, when Lang Jun knew the truth, he was standing in the same place. However, the scenery outside the window is still the same, and the mood of Mr. Lang must be very different now.
Hearing the voice, Shen Fengzhang turned around, looked at Liu Wenchang, and asked about Zheng Shi's actions these days, and learned that Zheng Shi had been investigating the mastermind behind the spread of rumors for the past few days, and wanted to dispel the rumors for her. At that time, Shen Fengzhang had a smile on his face. It's just that that smile was as cold as frost, without even half a temperature.
Liu Wenchang lowered his eyes, and continued to report on the monitoring of the Zheng family, "Mr. Lang, although Mrs. Zheng did not find out that the third lady was spreading rumors behind her back, she found out that the third lady was trying to drug the second lady."
Liu Wenchang's voice stopped for a while, before he continued: "However, Mrs. Zheng didn't stop the third lady. She even helped the third lady to harm the second lady."
The study room became quiet for a while, and it became extremely quiet, even the small sound of summer flying insects hitting the screen window became clearly audible.
A cold laughter full of sarcasm suddenly sounded, breaking the silence in the room.
Shen Fengzhang turned his head and looked out the window, as if he saw the back of the person who fled after knowing the "truth". Love desires life, evil desires death, Mrs. Zheng has such a character. Now she feels that she has admitted to the wrong person, and she has given her wrong mother's love for many years, and instead caused her own daughter to be bruised and bruised. For her, only by making Shen Xiangpei so miserable can she alleviate her guilt and self-blame.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly, both mocking and pity. The more Zheng Shi is determined to hurt Shen Xiangpei now, the more she will collapse when she knows the truth.
Shen Fengzhang didn't care about Zheng Shi and Shen Xiangpei's affairs any more, she quietly instructed Liu Wenchang to find a way to reveal to Zheng Shi that the culprit of spreading rumors was Shen Xiangyao.
She specially lifted Zheng's ban and returned Lu Zhu and others to Zheng, in order to let Zheng deal with Shen Xiangyao. If the entire Shen family was looking for two people she hated the most, apart from Mrs. Zheng, it would be Shen Xiangyao.
"Yes." Liu Wenchang responded, bowed his head slightly, turned around and walked out the door. When he was about to walk out of the study, he was suddenly stopped by a clear voice.
"Wait a moment."
Liu Wenchang turned around and said respectfully, "What else does the lord want?"
The green leaves on the trees outside the window swayed slightly in the afternoon smoky wind, casting a shivering shadow. The handsome young man in white clothes like frost looked at the shadow of the tree on the ground, silent and did not speak.
Liu Wenchang stood where he was, waiting quietly. After a while, he finally heard Qingyue's voice sounding slowly.
"Send someone to change Er Niangzi's medicine."
Back then, the "civet cat was exchanged for the prince" caused a great change in the fate of the original owner and Shen Xiangpei. The original owner's life was destroyed, but Shen Xiangpei went smoothly. In this matter, she didn't want to discuss how to treat Shen Xiangpei. She occupied the original owner's body, so she would naturally feel aggrieved for the original owner.
She is designing this conspiracy now to take revenge on Mrs. Zheng. Shen Xiangpei was innocent in the scheme she devised. Now, in order to alleviate the guilt in her heart, Zheng allowed Shen Xiangpei to be harmed and even contributed to the flames. After careful calculation, it was because of her that Shen Xiangpei suffered an innocent disaster.
As long as anyone who wants to harm Shen Xiangpei is not Zheng's but someone else, she can ignore it. But because of her plan, Zheng wanted to attack someone who was completely innocent in this matter, she couldn't let it go and turn a blind eye.
Coincidentally, this innocent person happened to be Shen Xiangpei.
If she allowed innocent people to be hurt because of revenge, how would she be different from the Zheng family.
It's not that there are no taboos in the name of revenge. She was once a victim of the "revenge" butcher, and her ex-fiancé's revenge destroyed her family. She will never allow herself to use "revenge" as an excuse to become a perpetrator who hurts innocent people like a scumbag fiancé after taking power in her hands.
Thinking of this, Shen Fengzhang repeated what he said just now, his voice became firm.
After handing over Shen Xiangyao to the Zheng family, Shen Fengzhang didn't care about the two of them anymore. Fang Huaisheng's case is still at a standstill, she has wasted too long on Zheng Shi.
…
In the torture room of Tingwei Mansion, the whips, bows and other instruments of torture hanging on the wall were covered with a thick layer of black blood. In the charcoal basin in the corner of the punishment room, there was a red-hot soldering iron. Under the dim candlelight, the entire torture chamber looked even more eerie.
Fang Huaisheng, who was dressed in a prison uniform and his hands and feet were shackled, was pushed into the execution room by the guards behind him. Stumbling a bit, he managed to stabilize his figure.
Fang Huaisheng was imprisoned for more than half a month, and he lost a lot of weight, but he was still in good spirits. Entering this gloomy torture room at this moment, he only frowned slightly, without showing excessive panic.
Ting Weiping, who was in charge of the interrogation, stared at Fang Huaisheng who remained motionless after arriving in the execution room, and his heart was full of anger. Mr. Shen entrusted him with the interrogation, but Fang Huaisheng didn't speak after he interrogated him for so long. Bringing Fang Huaisheng to the execution room today is already the last resort.
He took a deep breath and raised his voice, "Fang Huaisheng! I order you to explain everything quickly, otherwise don't blame me for treating you with torture!"
Fang Huaisheng didn't even lift his eyelids, he turned his head and turned a deaf ear.
Ting Weiping was so angry at Fang Huaisheng's contemptuous look that he wanted to vomit blood. He turned his head to look at the instruments of torture at the side, and yelled at the jailer in charge of torture, "Put him to death!"
The jailer bent down to look at Ting Weiping, and asked with some embarrassment: "My lord, which torture instrument should I use?"
The jailer had a reason for asking this question. Torture and interrogation of prisoners in the previous dynasty often occurred, resulting in a large number of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases. After the establishment of the dynasty, Taizu learned the lessons of the previous dynasty and made strict regulations on torture. Officials who used torture illegally will be severely punished.
According to the current laws of Dazhou, except for murder, theft, robbery and other serious offenders, other prisoners can only be punished with the stick.
Fang Huaisheng's crime is far from enough to be punished. Knowing this, he is confident.
"My lord? Which instrument of torture to use?" Seeing Ting Weiping's silence, the jailer asked again.
Ting Weiping stared at the torture equipment on the entire wall, the flesh on both sides of his cheeks twitched non-stop, his mouth was open but he couldn't speak.
"Use, use—"
"It's better to just use this one." Accompanied by a cold voice, there was a harsh sound of a long whip piercing the air.
Ting Weiping turned around abruptly, and saw a young man in black clothes holding a long whip. Although he was still young, he was full of momentum and made people fearful.
She took the whip and slammed it on the ground!
That movement made him tremble subconsciously. The next moment, the black long whip was thrown in front of the jailer and him.
"My lord!" Ting Weiping quickly saluted Shen Fengzhang with a respectful voice.
Shen Fengzhang wiped his hands with the handkerchief on the side, and casually asked, "Master Zhang, how is the interrogation going with this man? Have you got the confession?"
Shen Fengzhang's seemingly flat voice, to Ting Weiping's ears, sounded like a raging sea, as if it was extremely heavy. He hung his head, stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence, "This...this..."
"Reporting to my lord, I haven't got a statement yet. Fang Huaisheng has been refusing to speak before, and his subordinates are only planning to bring him to the torture room today for torture." Ting Weiping spoke for a long time with a simple sentence.
Hearing this, Shen Fengzhang nodded indifferently to the long whip on the ground, and said in a resolute, ruthless voice, "If that's the case, then the punishment will be executed!"
Ting Weiping had only threatened Fang Huaisheng earlier, if he were to be tortured, how dare he. Staring at the long whip on the ground, sweat dripped from Ting Weiping's forehead, his feet froze in place and he dared not move.
When Fang Huaisheng on the side heard Shen Fengzhang talking about torture, his heart suddenly tensed up. When he saw Ting Weiping's timid appearance, he immediately relaxed.
Two sneers sounded in the torture room. Although Fang Huaisheng was wearing shackles, he still maintained his arrogance, "Master Shen, it seems that your subordinates are not very obedient."
Hearing this, Ting Weiping sweated even harder on his forehead. He quickly took a look at Shen Fengzhang, quickly picked up the long whip on the ground, and said angrily to Fang Huaisheng: "Nonsense! I am loyal to Lord Shen!"
Shen Fengzhang didn't look at Ting Weiping again, she glanced at the jailer on the other side, "Go get the soldering iron."
Compared with Ting Weiping, who looked forward and backward, the jailer was much more courageous. He walked up to Shen Fengzhang with a red-hot soldering iron, "My lord?"
"Go, let Master Fang taste the taste of this soldering iron."
Before touching the red-hot iron, Fang Huaisheng already felt a burst of scalding heat. His body tensed up suddenly, and he looked at Shen Fengzhang furiously, "Shen Fengzhang! You want to abuse lynching? Torture to extract a confession?!"
From entering the execution room to now, Shen Fengzhang had a slight smile on his face for the first time. However, in Fang Huaisheng's eyes, this smile made him tremble more than not smiling.
Facing Huaisheng's unbelievable eyes with a ray of fear hidden in them, Shen Fengzhang smiled slightly, his voice was calm, but the content of his mouth made the entire torture room quiet.
"Master Fang, if you enter this court lieutenant's mansion, whether it is a lynching or an official punishment is up to me!"
Fang Huaisheng looked at the soldering iron that was getting closer and closer to him, and the hairs on his back stood on end. His voice couldn't help being sharp, "Shen Fengzhang! You are abusing lynching and breaking the law!"
Shen Fengzhang chuckled, her dark eyes were extraordinarily bright against the jumping flames, and there was a hint of a smile in her voice, "Master Fang, it seems that you are not very courageous."
Fang Huaisheng felt that the tone of this sentence was very familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately remembered that this was the tone he had just laughed at Shen Fengzhang.
He felt slightly regretful. Didn't he already know that Shen Fengzhang is a petty, vengeful villain? Why didn't he hold back his temper just now?
When Fang Huaisheng was remorseful, Shen Fengzhang's voice rang in his ears again.
"Fang Huaisheng, as long as you hand over your confession, I will spare you the pain of flesh and blood!"
"Bah! You should give up." Fang Huaisheng clearly remembered what Yu Sizhong and the others explained. Only by insisting that the matter is over can he and his family survive.
Seeing the resoluteness on Fang Huaisheng's face, Shen Fengzhang showed a bit of regret on his face, but his voice was extraordinarily calm and tough.
"Do it!"
"what!"
The moment before the soldering iron was applied to his skin, Fang Huaisheng thought it was a fluke, thinking that Shen Fengzhang was just scaring him. However, he didn't expect that Shen Fengzhang would actually dare to do something!
Shen Fengzhang was expressionless, looked at Fang Huaisheng who was being tortured, and asked coldly, "Say it or not?"
Fang Huaisheng gritted his teeth, and because of the pain, his voice was intermittent, "No! Speak!" Now, it is absolutely impossible for him to speak, otherwise it would have been in vain!
Shen Fengzhang didn't feel particularly surprised by Huaisheng's answer. With a blank face, she simply spit out two words - "Continue."
Continuous screams came from the execution room. In the execution room, Ting Weiping, who was standing aside, was shaking even the hand holding the whip.
After a while, Fang Huaisheng, who used to be in good spirits, was now depressed. His face was pale, his face was covered with cold sweat, and his body was full of wounds.
However, when he saw Shen Fengzhang, he still pulled himself together and said every word, "I won't say it! You're so determined!"
Seeing this, Shen Fengzhang took two steps forward and walked to Fang Huaisheng's side.
"Do you think I don't know if you don't tell me?" She looked at Huaisheng's eyes full of hatred and cruelty, and said softly and slowly, "I keep some of the money you bribed, and most of it It was given to Yushi Zhongcheng Lin Wenzhi, and Xue Xiufeng was the one who gave Lin Wenzhi a gift with you."
Fang Huaisheng's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard the name Lin Wenzhi. When Shen Fengzhang mentioned Xue Xiufeng, he couldn't help feeling a surge of fear.
Why did Shen Fengzhang know such a secret thing? !
Of course, Shen Fengzhang didn't answer Fang Huaisheng's confusion. She moved closer to Fang Huaisheng, and spoke softly in a discussing tone, "You said that if I release the news and you didn't keep it secret, do you think those people will really let you go?"
Fang Huaisheng raised his head suddenly, and looked at Shen Fengzhang in astonishment, showing a bit of fear in his heart. Before he could say anything, Shen Fengzhang turned around and ordered to his subordinates: "Treat Master Fang." She turned back and looked at Fang Huaisheng's face with emotion, "Master Fang, if you were tortured before you were sentenced Tell me the list, how can you suffer such flesh and blood?"
Fang Huaisheng's eyes were cracked, and he shouted in a hoarse voice, "I didn't say anything!"
"Okay, okay." Shen Fengzhang responded several times in a row, "Master Fang, you really didn't say anything." She smiled at Fang Huaisheng, "Master Fang, don't worry, I will definitely keep this matter a secret."
Even so, when he turned around, Shen Fengzhang ordered people to spread the news that Fang Huaisheng couldn't bear the severe punishment and finally spoke.
