I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 17: Chen Mo, the Living King of Hell, and the Jade Feet of the Queen (Two chapters in one, please read on!)
The atmosphere in the hall was dead silent.

Yan Peizhi was stunned, his eyes full of confusion.

"Barbarian" is a taboo word in the Yuan Dynasty.

Back then, demons and monsters were rampant, and the country was in turmoil.

The southern barbarians took the opportunity to invade, the border was defeated, and the war once spread to Qingzhou!

They burned, killed, and looted at will, causing great suffering to the people. There was blood and corpses floating everywhere, like a picture of hell!
At this time of national crisis, the three great saints took action to expel the evil spirits and restore peace to the world. From then on, the unshakable status of the three saints was completely established.

Afterwards, the eldest princess proved her truth through martial arts, and carrying the country's most important weapon, the "Heavenly Seal", she personally led troops to suppress the Southern Barbarians.

A bloody massacre spread over a thousand miles, killing more than ten thousand barbarians in order to build the Jingguan!
Until now, the eldest princess still stays in southern Xinjiang to guard the country!
It can be said that the hatred between the Yuan Dynasty and the barbarians is as deep as the sea and will not end until one dies!

"Why did Your Highness say this?"

"I hate the barbarians so much that I want to eat their flesh alive. How could I collude with them?"

Yan Peizhi spoke earnestly, then thought of something and said suddenly, "It must be that my thorough investigation of the Ministry of Revenue corruption case has affected the interests of some people, so they want to frame me like this. Your Highness, please don't believe in other people's slander!"

"Construction?"

Behind the screen, the queen chuckled and said in a cold tone, "But I heard that your nephew raised barbarian slaves and traded secretly, and was caught red-handed, and is now imprisoned in the imperial prison?"

boom!
It was as if he was struck by five thunders, and Yan Peizhi's pupils shook violently!

He knew nothing about this matter, but since the queen said it herself, it must be no joke!

"This bastard!"

As the collateral bloodline of the Yan family, Yan Liang and his companions often used his name to abuse their power for personal gain.

Yan Peizhi turned a blind eye to this. After all, he still needed them to keep track of the movements of the Tianlin Guards.

But I didn’t expect that they were so bold that they were actually involved with the barbarians!

And at this critical juncture!

"This old minister has no idea about this. I hope Your Highness will understand!"

Yan Peizhi calmed himself and spoke in a deep voice.

"Master Yan, are you sure you can withstand the investigation?"

The Queen said calmly.

"minister……"

Yan Peizhi was speechless for a moment.

Yeah, can he stand up to scrutiny?
Having served as an official for many years and held a high position, who can guarantee that his hands are clean?

He knew the methods of the imperial prison better than anyone else... Just like the Ministry of Revenue corruption case, the three people in charge were able to implicate five ministers, so how many people could Yan Liang and Yan Xun implicate?
No one cares about the process, the result is the most important!
It can be imagined that if he dares to investigate further, he will definitely face fierce revenge from the Concubine’s Party!

The confession has been given to the Queen, I can't admit that I gave false testimony...

Yan Peizhi was now in a dilemma, as if he was being roasted on a fire, with beads of sweat the size of beans sliding down his forehead.

The queen seemed to see through his thoughts and said coldly:
"The evidence of corruption is irrefutable."

"As for the other ministers involved in the case...I think that this confession is far-fetched and not enough to convict them."

"Why don't you go back and have a thorough investigation to see if those three people are deliberately making false accusations in order to mitigate their guilt?"

Swish!
The confession was thrown out from behind the screen and fluttered to the ground.

"The minister obeys the order."

Yan Peizhi trembled all over and bowed deeply to the ground.

The Queen’s meaning is very clear, the overall situation is more important!

If he wants to keep his job, this case has to end here!

"I am tired, please leave."

The Queen said in a cold tone.

"Wei Chen retire."

Yan Peizhi picked up the confession, bowed and retreated, looking a little embarrassed.

It was a good move, but unexpectedly complications arose. After this incident, his position in the Queen's heart must have plummeted.

He could never have imagined that the boomerang would come so quickly...

……

"Yan Peizhi was too impatient, thinking that he could win big with a small investment. He underestimated Yu Youhan."

The queen sighed softly.

"Your Highness, the timing is too coincidental. It happened just last night... Is Concubine Yu so lucky?"

At the side, the old eunuch in a dragon robe said doubtfully.

“It’s not about luck, but about having capable people around me.”

"Chen Mo... go check it out."

The Queen groaned.

"Yes."

The old eunuch responded.

……

Tianlin Guard, Imperial Prison.

The cell is deep underground, cold and damp, with no sunlight.

The place is heavily guarded and shrouded in a magic-breaking array, rendering all true energy and magic ineffective.

In the cell, Yan Liang was wearing prison uniform, with his shoulder blades pierced by iron chains and hung high up, like a piece of bacon being dried.

"why?"

Yan Liang racked his brains but couldn't figure it out.

He has always been careful and cautious in his actions, even delivering goods himself, never through anyone else.

Why was it suddenly exposed?
Chen Mo seemed to have foreseen the future, waiting for him to fall into his trap...

"grown ups."

At this time, there was the voice of the jailer outside the cell.

The sound of footsteps came closer and closer, and a tall figure walked into the cell.

"General Yan, we meet again."

"Chen Mo!!"

Looking at that handsome face, Yan Liang's eyes were blazing with fire, and the hatred in his heart reached its peak, which could not be washed away even with all the rivers and lakes!
The jailer brought a chair and placed it six feet in front of Yan Liang.

Chen Mo sat down with his clothes gathered up, crossed his legs, and admired his distorted expression.

"You plotted against me!"

"You were the one plotting against me from the beginning to the end!"

Yan Liang shouted at the top of his lungs.

Chen Mo picked his ears and said, "Zongqi Yan's voice is too loud. It will be bad if he disturbs the inmates next door..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the jailer beside him picked up an iron rod and hit Yan Liang hard on the mouth!

boom!
boom!boom!
Blood gushed out of Yan Liang's mouth and nose, and his teeth fell to the ground.

“Don’t litter.”

Chen Mo frowned.

The jailer understood what was going on and grabbed the tooth on the ground and stuffed it into Yan Liang's mouth, then poked it in with an iron rod!
"Um!"

Yan Liang stared at Chen Mo, wishing he could eat him alive.

Chen Mo remained calm and composed.

He knew in his heart that if he fell into the other party's hands, his fate would be a hundred times more miserable than this.

"Don't worry, this is just an appetizer."

Chen Mo snapped his fingers.

Two jailers came in holding dozens of torture instruments and placed them in front of Yan Liang one by one.

The tongs, files, branding irons, iron lotuses... were all stained with dried blood, which made people shudder.

In addition, there is a large clay urn.

"General Yan must be familiar with the methods used by our yamen, such as pinching fingers, cutting off tongues, breaking spines, stabbing hearts... I won't go into details about these old-fashioned punishments."

"This time I'm going to focus on introducing a new project I invented: Walking into a Trap."

Chen Mo patted the big jar and said with a smile: "First, put firewood at the bottom to heat the jar, then put the prisoner in, let the skin and flesh cook, sizzle and ooze oil, then pull it out while it's still hot... Hey, guess what? The person came out, but the skin was still in the jar."

hiss!
The jailers looked at each other and felt a chill in their hearts.

This gentleman must be the living king of hell...

Yan Liang’s face was pale and his prison uniform was soaked with cold sweat.

abnormal!
So perverted!

In his eyes at this moment, Chen Mo was like a devil!
"Since General Yan is unwilling to confess, I have no other options. Come on, please let General Yan fall into the trap!"

"Yes!"

Two jailers came forward.

"and many more!"

Yan Liang swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "You haven't asked yet, how do you know I don't want to confess?"

Chen Mo was stunned and looked at the jailer, "Didn't I ask just now?"

The jailer shook his head, "You didn't ask, sir."

"Look at my brain."

"I was so busy doing the experiment that I forgot to follow the procedures."

"Ahem, General Yan, if you have anything to say, just say it yourself."

Chen Mo sat upright and asked leisurely.

Yan Liang hesitated for a moment.

Raising barbarian slaves can be a big or small matter.

If we investigate further and implicate those high-ranking officials, I'm afraid they won't even know how they died!

But in his current situation, it seems that he has no choice...

At this moment, Chen Mo said casually: "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that your brother has confessed everything. He said that you did everything. He was just coerced by you and had no choice."

"impossible!"

"Yan Xun would never do that!"

Yan Liang said decisively. Chen Mo smiled, stood up and walked to his side, whispering: "He also said that the boss behind you is Prince Yu..."

Yan Liang was struck by lightning when he heard this, and he seemed to have lost his soul.

Chen Mo didn't say anything and just looked at him quietly.

After a long while, Yan Liang said hoarsely, "Can you guarantee that I will stay alive?"

Chen Mo shrugged, "That depends on you."

Yan Liang lowered his head helplessly and said:
"I have a ledger that records all transactions."

"In addition, I also used the photo stone to secretly record the transaction process, just in case."

"The thing is hidden in..."

After half a stick of incense.

Chen Mo walked out of the cell with his hands behind his back.

The jailers looked at him with admiration.

He confessed without even being tortured. It's a shame not to keep such a talent in the imperial prison!

"Sir, are the other two still to be tried?"

"no need."

Chen Mo said calmly: "Also, untie Yan Liang later."

The jailer scratched his head.

Sir, are you being kind-hearted?

Then, Chen Mo said, "Then put him and Yan Xun in the same cell."

"..."

It turns out that he is still the living devil!

The jailers could already imagine the scene of two people being in the same room...

……

As for the man in the bamboo hat.

Chen Mo already knew who was behind him.

There are only a few people in the entire Tiandu City who can order a sixth-grade sorcerer to run errands.

But he didn't want to get involved in this mess.

Know when to stop, as too much is as bad as too little. Take the credit you deserve, and the rest is none of his business.

"Let's go find the queen to get gold coins!"

……

Hanxiao Palace.

On the terrace, Yu Youhan stood leaning against the railing, gazing at the magnificent imperial city with deep eyes.

She has been in a bad mood recently.

The Queen's party pressed forward step by step, and the court suffered heavy losses one after another.

And she herself was controlled by others, even showing such an ugly appearance in front of a man...

"call."

Yu Youhan breathed in and out, chanted the Heart Cleansing Mantra, and crushed all distracting thoughts.

However, when I saw the "red rope" wrapped around my wrist, my mood, which had just calmed down, was disturbed again.

"Damn inner demon..."

"Miss."

At this time, Xu Qingyi came over quickly, "I have something important to report!"

Yu Youhan sighed silently.

What else could be important at this time? It was nothing more than the Ministry of Revenue corruption case.

She already had the answer in her mind.

"Yan Peizhi will never give in. He will definitely not let go. How many people were implicated in the end?"

"No one was implicated."

The female official said in a loud voice: "Not only that, Yan Peizhi also agreed that the three courts would intervene in this case and jointly try it!"

"Ok?"

Yu Youhan raised her eyebrows slightly, looking surprised.

There is no reason for the Queen to let go of such a good opportunity... unless there is an unavoidable reason.

"You should have something else to report, right?"

"Your Majesty has a keen eye."

Xu Qingyi smiled and said, "Last night, the Guishui Division of the Tianlin Guard cracked a case of 'raising barbarian slaves' and caught the suspect red-handed. The suspect is Yan Peizhi's nephew!"

"Raising barbarian slaves?"

Yu Youhan was stunned when he heard this, then the corner of his mouth curled up, "It seems that the one who is having a headache now is the Queen... The captain of Guishui Division is Shen Shuchou, right? Well done, you deserve a reward!"

It’s such a timely relief!
Not only did he resolve the crisis, he also turned the tables on the Queen!
Xu Qingyi looked a little strange, and shook his head, saying, "This case was led by Chen Mo, the general flag of Guishui Division. He obtained intelligence and planned the operation alone."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

After a moment, Yu Youhan's slightly surprised voice sounded:

"Chen Mo?!"

……

Chen Mo stood in front of the Qianqing Gate.

With the Purple Luan Order in hand, he can enter and leave the palace freely.

However, if you want to enter the inner court, you need to make a separate notification, after all, there are hundreds of female concubines living here.

"It's a waste of time."

Chen Mo shook his head secretly.

The emperor is almost dying, so naturally he has no intention or power to leave these concubines alone in their empty rooms. I guess they are almost covered in spider webs, right?

But think about it from another perspective. If the emperor doesn't come to the harem, can't he just play however he wants?
Maybe there will be a silver party every day...

At this time, Xu Qingyi, dressed in a white robe and with delicate features, came over.

"Xu Sizheng."

Chen Mo waved hello.

Xu Qingyi didn't say anything, but raised her chin, motioning him to follow.

The two entered the Qianqing Gate and walked towards the Hanxiao Palace.

On the way, Chen Mo asked, "Xu Sizheng, does the queen know about what happened last night?"

Xu Qingyi remained silent.

Chen Mo asked again: "How is your mood today, Madam?"

Xu Qingyi still didn't respond.

Chen Mo frowned and asked, "Is Xu Sizheng still angry about what happened last time?"

Xu Qingyi glanced at him and finally spoke, saying coldly: "Mr. Chen is very lenient. What does my mood have to do with you?"

"What Xu Sizheng said is not right."

Chen Mo stopped and said seriously, "Although we have only met a few times, we are still acquainted. And as a gentleman who respects women, how can I let you sulk alone?"

Just as Xu Qingyi's expression eased a little, she saw him take out the Purple Luan Order and put it in front of her.

"I order you not to be angry."

"..."

Xu Qingyi's fair face quickly turned red, she clenched her teeth and glared at Chen Mo fiercely!

This guy……

It's so annoying!

……

Arriving at the gate of Hanxiao Palace, Xu Qingyi left quickly without looking back.

She was afraid that if she stayed with this guy any longer, she would not be able to help but slap him to death!
Looking at the deep palace gate, Chen Mo's heartbeat quickened slightly.

Take a deep breath and walk into the hall.

Passing through the curtains, I saw Yu Youhan leaning on the chaise longue.

A plain casual suit could not hide her slender waist.

The hem of the dress was slightly short, revealing her snow-white and delicate calves and a pair of white and jade-like feet.

The ankles are long and slender, and the toes are as clear as pearls, white and tender, making people want to hold them in their hands and play with them.

"Have you seen enough?"

A clear voice sounded.

Chen Mo quickly withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and dared not look again.

"come over."

Yu Youhan said.

Chen Mo walked closer and Yu Youhan retracted his legs to make room.

"sit down."

"I don't dare to do this in a humble position."

"Let you sit, just sit."

"..."

Chen Mo hesitated for a moment and sat down on the chaise longue carefully.

He only dared to raise half of his buttocks, with his back straight and his eyes not looking to the side.

Looking at his nervous expression, Yu Youhan felt inexplicably amused. She stretched out her legs and placed her feet on his thighs.

The red lips slightly opened:

"Press your feet."

Chen Mo: "???"
