"I knew that what she said was all crazy. I shouldn't have believed her. I shouldn't have believed her." Su Guangcheng was regretting so much that his intestines were twisting. "If I hadn't believed her, I wouldn't have been just a lecturer in the Imperial Academy when I came to Beijing."

　　Su Guangcheng felt strange when he was assigned to be a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy.

　　If it was just because of the small mistake he made in Chong'an, he shouldn't have been thrown directly into the Hanlin Academy to revise his books.

　　Moreover, it would not be the case that when he was looking for someone to take care of it, no one was willing to help.

　　Now that I think about it, those people clearly didn't dare to help.

　　He had nothing to do in prison all day and became increasingly desperate.

　　Every day I think about the injustice I have suffered and don't know when I can get out.

　　I just hope those people can really find out the truth, clear his name, and let him leave. I am also reviewing what happened after I came to Beijing.

　　How did I get to where I am today step by step?

　　He discovered that the turning point of everything seemed to be when he believed Su Zhier's words. Everything became difficult and there was not even a good result.

　　"It's obvious that Su Zhi'er has abandoned you and escaped on her own." Gu Shangqing said, "You'd better make meritorious contributions while you're here. It's unlikely that you'll be reinstated, but at least you can get out of this prison."

　　Su Guangcheng looked at Gu Shangqing with red eyes.

　　However, he had not been able to eat or sleep well in here, so the whites of his eyes were bloodshot. Therefore, even when he saw Gu Shangqing now, the change in his eyes was not obvious.

　　I don't know if it's because I always hear Su Zhier say that Gu Shangqing was his son-in-law in his previous life.

　　When he saw Gu Shangqing at this time, Su Guangcheng hated him so much.

　　I don't hate anyone else this much.

　　Although I regretted believing Su Zhier's words and thought she was talking nonsense.

　　But at the same time, he couldn't help being brainwashed by what Su Zhier said all the time about Gu Shangqing.

　　"Just tell us everything you know." Gu Shangqing said.

　　"But I don't know anything at all!" Su Guangcheng said excitedly, "I was also deceived by Su Zhier! I believed her lies!"

　　"I just misunderstood what she said!" Su Guangcheng said excitedly.

　　General Shang's eyebrows moved and he said, "So, Su Zhier

　　What did I tell you? "

　　Su Guangcheng said: "I have already told you everything I can tell you!"

　　"Tell us more about it." General Shang said.

　　"She said that she and Gu Shangqing were husband and wife in her previous life, and that Gu Shangqing would become a first-rank general in the future. With the help of Gu Shangqing, I would also be promoted step by step!" Su Guangcheng said.

　　Being locked up here didn't make him completely stupid.

　　Know that there are some things that cannot be said.

　　For example, the matters concerning the Crown Prince and the Eldest Prince, and the matter of the Third Prince ascending the throne.

　　Before, he thought that what Su Zhier said was true, and he was thinking of relying on the third prince to leave the prison.

　　But now, he realized that what Su Zhier said was all lies. If he continued to say so, he would be seeking death.

　　I wonder if the Third Prince has told the Saint what I said to him before.

　　But Su Guangcheng thought about it and felt that the third prince should not say anything.

　　After saying this, does the Third Prince himself not want this life anymore?

　　Moreover, if the Third Prince really said that, there is no way he could stay in this prison alive now.

　　Su Guangcheng was slightly relieved. At least the Third Prince didn't say anything, which saved his life.

　　Little did they know that the Third Prince had not only spoken, but the Saint had heard with his own ears what he had said.

　　But now, Su Guangcheng couldn't think of these things, but he still remembered what Su Zhier said about the royal family.

　　Gu Shangqing: "..."

　　"Thank you very much. You really think highly of me." Gu Shangqing twitched his lips and turned to General Shang and said, "Although I know Su Zhier is talking nonsense, I am still very happy to hear this."

　　General Shang also nodded, "No wonder Su Zhier's lies could fool Su Guangcheng."

　　Promotion and wealth are just around the corner, who can resist believing it?

　　Gu Shangqing: "..."

　　No, even so, you don't have to be so sure.

　　"Apart from this, is there anything else?" General Shang asked.

　　"No more." Su Guangcheng said, "Really no more."

　　"At this point, why don't you tell the truth?" General Shang shouted.

　　Su Guangcheng thought to himself, could it be that they knew about Su Zhier's outrageous remarks about the royal family?

　　"It's really gone..." Su Guangcheng said.

　　"How could a weak woman like Su Zhi'er be able to disappear from the prison of the Dali Temple?" General Shang asked, "Do you know who she usually interacts with?"

　　"No... I don't know." Su Guangcheng said, "I only know that she usually entrusted those things to the former servants of the Su Mansion, Chun Chao and Li Lai."

　　Su Zhier called Chun Chao and Li Lai back and told them what to do. Magistrate Su knew everything about it.

　　But I didn't care this time.

　　"Besides them?" General Shang asked again.

　　They had arrested Chun Chao and Li Lai a long time ago, and they had both told everything they could, but there were no important clues at all.

　　"No more. She is a girl who doesn't know anyone, otherwise she wouldn't have to ask Chun Chao and Li to do things for her."

　　"Su Guangcheng, do you really have to ask me so clearly?" General Shang said coldly, "I just gave you a chance to confess, but you didn't appreciate it. Don't blame us for torturing you again."

　　"You are a scholar, and you are used to a life of luxury." General Shang said, "The punishment we used on you before was just a minor one. I think you are almost half dead. If we punish you personally, it will not be the same level as before. You should think carefully."

　　"We have many ways in the army. Especially when we capture enemy prisoners, we need to get information from them." Gu Shangqing said, "The first way is to use a bamboo stick to pierce the area between your fingernails and the flesh, and then sprinkle salt on it after pulling it out."

　　"The fingers are connected to the heart, and the pain in the hands is not easy to bear." Gu Shangqing said, "Just imagine how painful it would be if a bamboo stick pierced your fingertips and pried your fingernails?"

　　"He hasn't tried it, so he definitely doesn't know. He'll know once he tries it." General Shang said. "By the way, did you bring it?"

　　"I have it with me." Gu Shangqing took out a bamboo stick from his arms. "Don't be fooled by the fact that it's quite thick, but it's sharp enough so it can penetrate. However, it's not as sharp as iron, so it will definitely hurt a lot more than an iron needle."

　　"No...no...I really don't know!" Su Guangcheng turned pale with fright.

　　Gu Shangqing took Su Guangcheng's hand and said, "I can let you feel it first."

　　Gu Shangqing did not pierce the flesh under his nails, but pierced the base of his thumb.
