The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 289 Still eating?
At noon, the hollow sun shone through the thick clouds, creating a hole in the cottony cloud.

The underground interrogation room of the Internal Guard Division was dark and gloomy, unable to penetrate the warm sun that broke through the clouds, and a few oil lamps were still lit, making the interrogation room dim.

Kneeling in the middle of the interrogation room were two men wearing bunts. Surrounding them were torture instruments placed on both sides except for a few shadow guards guarding them.

There are so many tricks, it makes people shudder to see.

The instruments of torture in the Internal Guard Division are not less than those in Dali Temple, it can be said that they are even worse than that.

The two men were the foremen of Jia's granary labor camp. They had nothing to do today, and they were beaten unconscious on the way to Piaoxianglou for a drink.

When they woke up, they had already been brought here, and they didn't even know where it was.

At this time, a breeze blew, and the flame of the oil lamp shook violently. The wind came from the door. After a while, three people appeared in the long corridor, walking towards the interrogation room one after the other.

The people who came were dressed almost the same as those who looked at them,

The person walking towards the two foremen was none other than Thirteen, the Cabinet Deacon of the Department of Internal Health.

Seeing this, the two foremen didn't dare to breathe for a while, for fear that they would be noticed if they moved.

Shisan didn't have any relationship with these two people. After they separated, they directly started asking about the overnight construction of the labor camp in the name of the Department of Internal Security.

This morning at [-] o'clock this morning, the prince was reported, and the prince ordered him to secretly invite two labor camp foremen back to the Department of Internal Security for questioning.

The foreman down there didn't mean to say anything at first.

"Punishment."

Thirteen's voice rang in the foreman's ear, which made the foreman start to confess in fright.

The foreman named Zhou Hei said truthfully: "Only half a month ago, the superior issued an order, saying that there was a problem with the previous project, and asked us to rework the completed warehouse of Jia's barn as soon as possible."

"What went wrong?"

"There was a problem with the original girders. It was said that the wrong wood was used due to an error in the purchase order, and the poplar girders had to be replaced with golden nanmu."

Shisan looked at the two of them, and continued to ask: "Since there is an error in the purchase order, why are you working at night?"

Zhou Hei confessed: "We had to build a new warehouse during the day. In order to catch up with the work, we took a break in the afternoon and started to rework the previously completed warehouse after midnight. The superiors were sympathetic and paid us three times the wages."

After interrogating Zhou Hei, another foreman, Jiang Dahai, was interrogated again. The two said that the difference was almost the same.

In order to find out about this matter, Thirteen personally went to the Ministry of Industry, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry admitted the matter without any concealment, and said that the official in charge of importing timber had died of a heart attack last month, and this matter could not be resolved. Pursuing responsibility can only make the Jia granary workers rush to work overnight.

The next day.

Early in the morning, a small handyman staggered towards the inner guards dungeon with a rice bucket in his hand, yawning as he walked, obviously not awake yet.

When we arrived at the dungeon, with shadow guards on both sides, the little handyman said, "Breakfast is delivered."

The tone was procrastinated and impatient, this early in the morning, he had to work before he woke up, if it wasn't for the little money to support his family, he would have been unwilling to do it.

The cell door opened in response, and the cell door was closed by the shadow guard when the little handyman entered.

Going down the stone stairs of the dungeon, we soon arrived at the first cell. The little handyman impatiently picked up the iron spoon and knocked on the iron prison door, shouting: "Hey! Hey! Hey! Get up and eat! Don't get up I won't give you a beating!"
