The prison guards widened their eyes and looked at the dagger on the ground.
The princes fell silent and looked at the second prince in unison.
Gu Zitang coughed lightly. “What are you looking at? This is a dagger that I specially hired someone to forge for self-defense. That’s why I’ve been carrying it.”
He bent down and was about to pick up the dagger.
However, a pile of medicinal bags fell from the collar of his clothes.
This was the psychedelic incense he had asked the tenth prince for when he went out today.
The prison guards looked at the second prince silently.
Their gazes seemed to be asking, ‘Your Highness, tell us the truth. Are you here to break into prison?’
The first prince sighed softly.
He looked at his brother helplessly.
How did Gu Zitang earn so much money?
Apart from doing business, could it be that he didn’t have any other intelligence?!
At this moment, the fifth prince went forward and stuffed a gold ingot into the head prison guard’s hand with a faint smile.
“This isn’t much money. Take it to buy some tea for the prison guard brothers.”
“Gu Xinghan escaped and caused my sister to be in danger. As older brothers, our hearts ache even if my sister falls, let alone this time when it’s a matter of life and death?”
“Therefore, we want to teach him a lesson. We won’t kill him. Go and drink some tea. Just pretend that you didn’t hear us. We won’t make things difficult for you.”
The fifth prince, Gu Zichen, spoke in a methodical and gentle manner.
After saying that, he patted the first prince’s shoulder and smiled at the prison guards. “The first prince is here. You don’t have to be afraid of not being able to trust him.”
As such, the head prison guard immediately agreed and turned to open the heavy chains to the cell.
“Your Highnesses, please go ahead. If there’s anything, summon us again.”
The prison guards left quickly.
Just as they turned the corner, they heard Gu Xinghan’s painful cry coming from his cell!
It seemed that the princes must not have been soft-hearted.
After the first prince entered, he punched Gu Xinghan in the stomach first.
Therefore, Gu Xinghan had let out an agonizing cry.
He spat out the gruel he had just eaten in the morning.
The first prince, Gu Zixiao, was tall and his eyebrows were cold and handsome.
He twisted his wrist and stared at Gu Xinghan, who was retching. He said unhappily, “It’s fine if your family caused trouble for Father, but you even implicated Nuo’er after you escaped.”
From the first prince’s tone, the other princes could tell.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he still wanted to keep Gu Xinghan alive, their eldest brother really wanted to beat him to death!
The second prince took out the psychedelic incense from earlier. “Tenth Brother gave it to me. Give him a few packets and I guarantee that he’ll be able to reveal the mastermind behind this.”
The fifth prince raised his eyebrows. “Even Gu Xinghan can escape. What if he’s pretending to be crazy now? I think it’s better to pull out his nails. There’s no lie under extreme pain.”
The seventh prince, Kongjue, silently walked to a corner and started chanting sutras with his back facing them.
His main purpose for coming today was not only to support his brothers to avenge his sister, but also to eliminate their negative karma.
However, the eighth prince suggested, “Why don’t I set up a few mechanisms here? As long as he steps on them, his feet will be p.r.i.c.ked by needles.”
“There are many acupuncture points on the soles of his feet that stimulate his nerves. Regardless of whether he’s pretending to be crazy or not, we’ll definitely be able to force something out of him.”
The third prince expressed his objection.
“What if he becomes crippled? We haven’t interrogated him yet. We can’t let him die. Why don’t I drug him? He won’t die if I control the dosage well.”
The princes gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
At this moment, Gu Xinghan, who was slumped on the ground, changed his crazy and wooden expression.
He knelt down silently and cried bitterly. “Don’t torture me anymore. I’ll confess, I’ll confess immediately!”
He originally wanted to pretend to be crazy and live on. Unexpectedly, he was so frightened by this group of princes that he didn’t dare to pretend anymore!
