"What do you think?" Long Tianhao looked at the woman standing in front of him and asked. She was not stupid, instead, she was very smart.
However, she still needed more training and experience to be his helper.
"Since I have no other choices, I have to follow your arrangents." In this world, there was no gain without pain.
There were too many people who were related to her.
Both Baizhi and Lin Zhongyu needed her protection and the man standing in front of her was obviously her only chance.
"You should stay in bed and recover from your injuries. By the way, I’ve heard that you’re good at interrogating prisoners. I’ve already seized the governor and I hope that you can elicit so useful information from him."
Long Tianhao turned around and strode out of her room.
The governor? She was eager to et him!
Prince Yu’s Mansion suffered heavy losses from the big fire. But they hid this well and no one knew that Princess Yu was nearly killed by the fire.
With Baizhi and Lin Zhongyu’s care and concern and the nurous valuable herbs, Lin ngya was restored to health and had no scar in her skin.
"Miss, the Prince is good to you!" Baizhi smiled and held a small jade bottle and carefully applied the dicine to Lin ngya’s wound.
"Are you moved by these dicines? Well, you’re easy to be bought over." Lin ngya lay on her bed and felt disappointed. It seed that the Prince provided her with all these good dicines for free.
But she got these at the cost of her life.
The battle between the princes was very dangerous. A small mistake may cost their lives and all the belongings. Even she had no perfect plan.
"Master, I’m not talking about the dicine. It was the Prince who took you out of the fire that day, do you rember?" Her bright eyes were flashing with admiration. It was obvious that this girl worshiped the Prince and treated him as the hero.
Lin ngya’s eyes dropped. She sighed and thought that Long Tianhao was really good at buying popularity and she still had a long way to go.
"Princess, the Prince asked to invite you for a eting." They heard Steward Deng’s voice outside of the room.
"OK. The Prince needs to wait for a mont and I’ll be over there right now."
Lin ngya dressed herself up with the help of Baizhi. Her long hair, which flowed to her waist, was cut by half because of the fire. But now, she looked more beautiful and energetic with her hair hanging on her shoulder.
But she still looked pale. She looked more feminine and delicate from the distance.
"Steward Deng, I’m relieved to see that you’re safe." Steward Deng was waiting for her with a serious face and smiled when he saw Lin ngya.
"Princess, thanks to you, I co back alive. Please don’t worry, the Prince has already given enough allowances to the families of the three guards and solved everything."
Lin ngya smiled, but she had already made up her mind.
She would definitely take reprisals against the enemy or repay the favor to her benefactor, so she would never forget the sacrifices of these three guards.
They kept walking forward. But they were not going to the Prince’s study room or the main hall.
Instead, they turned around and went behind the rockery in the small garden of Prince Yu’s Mansion.
Lin ngya slightly frowned. Was it...
Sure enough, Steward Deng reached out and moved in a small hole of the rockery and Lin ngya heard the rough sound of the chanism.
"Princess, please follow . There’re chanisms."
No wonder he was so careful. This was the secret prison of the Prince Yu’s Mansion.
Lin ngya nodded and followed Steward Deng carefully.
The road leading to the secret prison was crooked and the winding path only allowed two people to walk side by side.
There were lights made of moonstones around them, which was giving out terrifying faint lights. She suddenly slled the water vapor and realized that the cell was built in a small lake in the garden.
It was aweso! It seed that she had underestimated Prince Yu’s Mansion. How many secrets were hidden in this big mansion?
"Princess, please co in." She saw a solid stone gate at the end of the path. Steward Deng reached out and touched the gate and the door rose quietly.
They stepped into the stone gate. A moist, rancid sll assailed her nostrils.
But the air was sufficient and she didn’t feel suffocated at all.
Beside the aisles were all stone doors. There was only a very small iron window in the upper part of the stone door.
"The prisoners held here are all those who try to harm the Prince, including the assassin who dared to assassinate the Prince on that day." Steward Deng explained patiently after finding that Lin ngya was puzzled.
"Well, I see." Lin ngya nodded and said. This secret prison was very safe and it was difficult to find from the outside.
The Prince showed her this secret, which ant that he trusted her and they were on the sa side. But Lin ngya also knew that she would definitely be killed if she betrayed them or failed to et his expectations.
She had been forced to be on the sa boat with them!
Soon, they walked to another stone door and opened it. Long Tianhao was standing quietly in the darkness.
"Prince, Princess is here." Steward Deng bowed and quietly stayed at the door. Lin ngya felt that Long Tianhao was looking at her and she smiled slightly.
"Princess, do you want to elicit so useful information from the governor?"
The governor was still wearing pajamas and was tied to a stake in this room.
His mouth was blocked by cloth. It seed that he had enjoyed the past few days.
But now, he was still staring at her. Lin ngya clearly knew that he was trying to threaten her and fought to the last ditch.
"You can do whatever you want and I only want valuable information." Steward Deng had told him that Lin ngya had special ways of interrogating prisoners.
This governor was hard to deal with and they failed to force him to talk. Since Lin ngya was shrewd and good at punishnt, he wanted her to interrogate this prisoner.
"All right."
Lin ngya stood in front of the governor and suddenly had a good idea.
She smiled, ca near the governor and whispered to him.
In a few words, she managed to threaten the governor. He stared at Lin ngya as if she was the demon.
"Soak the whip in the salt water and flog the governor soundly."
Her voice was soft and gentle while what she had said was horrible.
The whip in the torture room was terrible. It had barbs and could cut off the prisoner’s flesh.
After being soaked in the salt water, the whip could cause more pain on the prisoner.
"Princess, how many do you want?" The guard who was gonna whip the governor asked in a low voice.
But Lin ngya looked at the governor viciously. It seed that he was determined to endure the pain without saying anything.
Well, it was not that simple.
"Don’t stop until I tell you. Steward Deng, go and prepare Ginseng Decoction and all kinds of good dicines for the knife wound. By the way, find ten corks and I want to gag him."
Instantly, all the people in the room gasped.
This was not interrogation at all. The Princess was trying to torture the prisoner and she actually enjoyed this process.
Looking at the governor, who was still resisting, all people believed that things that happened next would be wonderful.
It was not terrible to be tortured, but it was terrible that the torture was endless.
It was the most terrible and frustrating thing to be tortured without knowing when it would co to an end.
If the prisoner was feeble-minded, he would definitely beco silly or crazy.
"If you tell us the truth, I’ll give you a day off before whipping you once again. But if you refuse, I’ll torture you day and night. Don’t worry, I’m different from others and I’m sure they had never heard of these punishnts."
Lin ngya’s eyes were bright and she looked at the governor happily.
When she was in college, she once read a book called The Art of Punishnt.
Physical pain was only part of the penalty. The highest purpose of punishnt was to destroy the spiritual will of the person.
"Uh! Ah..." The governor didn’t expect that Princess Yu was a psychopath who enjoyed torturing others.
"Well, let’s get started." The guards standing around instantly raised the whips on their hands and lashed the governor with the crack sound.
Suddenly, the governor howled like a pig being killed and his creams reverberated in the room.
Lin ngya asked soone to find a small stool. She took so lon seeds and watched the governor leisurely.
"The guard on the left, go and get a new whip. The one on the right, dip your whip in the salt water." She was instructing the guards while eating her snacks.
If we ignored the governor who was bleeding and screaming, we would think that she was watching the variety show.
"Prince, if we keep whipping him, he might..." Steward Deng looked worriedly at the governor, whose screams had beco weak. He was afraid that the governor might die before making a confession.
"No." Long Tianhao stood quietly in the darkness and watched. He clearly knew Lin ngya’s intentions and ideas. She wanted to make the governor believe that she didn’t value his confession at all.
However, in this endless suffering, he could get a mont of peace only by making a confession.
He believed that it would not take long for this man to give up.
"Take out the things in his mouth and ask if he wants to say anything." Lin ngya told the people to take off the rags in his mouth. But she said once again before the governor even opened his mouth.
"It seems that he has nothing to say. Block his mouth and keep whipping." The governor’s eyes widened and he was shocked by Lin ngya’s behavior. He thought that Lin ngya would be irritated by his abuses, but in fact, he didn’t even have the chance to say anything.
He was depressed at this mont.
But Lin ngya was not as relaxed as she looked.
Steward Deng told her that this man also belonged to the mysterious organization and he was a master of the martial arts.
But over the years, he had successfully concealed his identity and beco the governor of the capital city. So, he did pretty well in handling official affairs.
After spending years in the official circle, he must have developed so bureaucratic habits. It was easier to force him to tell the truth while other forest outlaws would endure the torture and fight to the death.
If he had the chance, he would definitely tell them everything he knew!
