The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 385 Capture

Seeing Zhao Yuan'er's expression, Zhou Jiangning was even more certain that she was behind it to bring harm to her brother.

He stared at Zhao Yuan'er and said bitterly: "Whether she is innocent or not will be known after I ask her."

With that said, she ordered the executioner's servant: "Since grandma is so rough and thick-skinned this week, let's serve her in a different way."

When Zhou Jiangning went to war with his father, he had never seen any scenes of swords, mountains, and seas of fire on the battlefield. Now that she is married and a woman, she has restrained herself a lot, but she has many powerful ways to deal with a few women.

The servant girl was ordered to drag Mrs. Zhou up from the execution bench and tightly trap her on a wooden stake nearby. Then she picked up the red-hot iron from the brazier and pointed at Mrs. Zhou without hesitation.

These housewives had never seen such iron-blooded tactics before. Every one of them was so frightened that the timid ones even fainted.

For a moment, the woman's howling like she was killing a pig and the kowtows and begging for mercy from Zhao Yuan'er's secret servants echoed in the yard.

Zhao Yuan'er and Nanny Li next to her were also intimidated by Zhou Jiangning's methods, and were so frightened that they did not even dare to show their anger.

Mrs. Zhou, who was being served by the torture, couldn't bear the incense even after half a stick of incense. She howled desperately: "This is all what Aunt Li in front of me asked me to do. My aunt, please spare my life, ah - ah

——Auntie, please have mercy on me."

Seeing that she finally confessed, the executioner's wife stopped her hands, untied her, and escorted her to Zhou Jiangning. She said harshly: "You know what to do, I will invite you all, otherwise you will suffer a lot."

Zhou Jiangning glanced at Zhao Yuan'er and Mrs. Li, only stared at Mrs. Zhou and said: "How did Aunt Li instigate you? Let's do it from the truth."

"Auntie, please forgive me!" Before Grandma Li could even cry out for mercy, the executioner had already raised the knife and chopped off Grandma Li's little finger.

Zhao Yuan'er forced herself to calm down and said to Zhou Jiangning: "Aunt Li is my wet nurse, equivalent to half a mother. Even if she does something wrong, there is still me as the master and the county prince's palace. How can it be her turn?"

You, a married woman, come to interrogate her."

Zhou Jiangning waved his hands to the left and right, and within a short time several servants retrieved the poison. Zhou Jiangning glanced at Granny Li who was paralyzed on the ground with fear and said: "Now that there are both witnesses and physical evidence, Granny Li is here

If you recruit him truthfully, you'd better ask me to serve you with severe punishment."

They took orders from the left and right, helped Nanny Li up and walked out. Zhou Jiangning sat at the top of the table and ordered to the two rows of guards: "Get that woman down for me."

Mother-in-law Zhou was so frightened that she kowtowed repeatedly, Zhao Yuan'er was also so frightened that her face turned pale, and Grandma Li's knees softened, and she knelt on the ground, begging hurriedly: "This woman is spitting blood, my aunt must not believe her."

Grandma Li had just seen Zhou Jiangning's methods. She was so frightened that she could only breathe out but not in. She just stared at Zhao Yuan'er with fear and fear, and cried repeatedly: "Princess, please help me, Princess, please help me."

Mrs. Zhou was tortured and lost her mind. She replied truthfully: "The old slave hid those poisons under the floor tiles in the room. My aunt just ordered people to search for them."

Zhao Yuan'er said anxiously: "Don't listen to that Nanny Li's nonsense. I was unjustly accused. How could I do anything to disgrace the general?"

Saying that, Zhao Yuan'er waved her hand at the servants she had brought with her, and said with a sharp expression: "Help Granny Li go back, I want to see who dares to touch this princess."

When Zhao Yuan'er saw this miserable situation, her eyes went dark and she fainted.

Zhao Yuan'er was so frightened that she rolled to the door, slapped the door panel and cried: "Let me out, you guys let me out, I am the princess and the daughter-in-law of this mansion, you guys

You slaves, you dare to lock me up, will you all die?"

His younger brother had been eating it for several days. Only when Zhou Jiangning found the poison could he find a doctor to detoxify his brother's symptoms.

When she slowly woke up, she saw that she was locked in a dark little room. There was not even a bed in the room. She was thrown into a pile of grass with only a thin quilt covering her body.

Zhou Jiangning ordered people to tie Grandma Li to a wooden stake with five-flowered flowers. He faced the execution order with a cold face and said: "Chop off her fingers one by one. After you chop off the fingers, chop off the toes. She

If she still doesn’t recruit someone, I will cut her into pieces with a thousand knives.”

A group of soldiers were killed, holding bright weapons and swarming forward, frightening Zhao Yuan'er back one after another. The servants were even scared to death, and they couldn't care about Nanny Li, who was already scared to death.

Mrs. Zhou endured the severe pain in her body, swallowed her saliva, and replied truthfully: "Mama Li asked the slave to put chronic poison in the master's food. If you eat it for a month, you will be poisoned and die. Auntie, this slave is just a poison."

I was ordered by Aunt Li, please have mercy on me."

As she said that, she glanced at Zhao Yuan'er and continued: "Don't say it's this bitch. When I find out the mastermind who killed my brother, huh! No matter who she is, I will deal with her according to family rules."

When Zhou Jiangning heard this, she was so angry that her teeth itched. She suppressed her anger and asked, "Where are those medicines?"

When Zhao Yuan'er heard this, she said angrily: "How dare you! If the master is not at home, I am the head of the family. How can I tolerate a married woman like you to be the head of the family?"

Her bloody fingers fell into the dust, and Grandma Li howled in pain like a pig being killed.

Zhou Jiangning's methods are simply better than those in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. How can Nanny Li bear it? If the truth is revealed, even if she has the backing of Prince Jian's palace, the crime of harming her husband and heirs is not a small one.

These guards were Zhou Yi's personal soldiers who stayed in the mansion. Apart from Zhou Yi, only Zhou Jiangning, who had gone on an expedition with Zhou Yi, could dispatch anyone in the mansion.

She shouted until her voice became hoarse, and then a maid beside Zhou Jiangning slowly walked over and said coldly through the door: "Madam, please save your energy. Those things you have done, the Li Li beside you

Grandma has done everything possible, and now that the witnesses and material evidence are all there, I am just waiting for the master to come back and deal with you."

Zhou Jiangning sneered and said: "Since this woman entered my general's residence with you, she is a member of my general's residence. If she committed a crime, as the general's legitimate daughter, I naturally have the right to interrogate her."

The maid outside the door snorted coldly: "If you are complaining about these grievances, you should wait until the master comes back and talk to him. Our aunt only looks at the evidence and not the person."

Zhao Yuan'er scratched the crack in the door and saw that the servant girl was about to leave. She shouted: "Even if my aunt has evidence, I am the wife you are marrying, and I am the master of this house. Even if there are any mistakes, you should be punished by the master."

I'm the one to deal with it, it's Zhou Jiangning's turn to take care of it."

The servant woman glanced at the locked iron door, snorted heavily, and left without looking back.

Zhao Yuan'er shouted: "Even if you want to imprison me, at least bring me a thick quilt. It's freezing cold. Are you going to torture me to death?"
