【Censor Xie Yaohuan of the Tang Dynasty】

In her later years, Empress Wu Zetian enjoyed hearing auspicious words about a peaceful world and flattering praise
. Relying on her nephews and nieces of the Wu clan, and heavily employing sycophantic ministers, she gradually descended into a corrupt and
autocratic rule based on favoritism and biased opinions.
On this sunny day, peonies were in full bloom in Luoyang. Surrounded by palace attendants and guards, Empress Wu Zetian
visited the newly completed Hundred-Foot Heavenly Pivot at Shangyang Palace. This
towering iron pillar and bronze plate, specially commissioned for her by her nephew Wu Sansi, was a magnificent sight. Tens of thousands of vermilion
birds chirped merrily around the pavilions and halls, much to the amazement of the surrounding eunuchs and palace servants, who declared it a
sign of divine intervention, a testament to the eternal peace of the Zhou Dynasty and the unparalleled achievements of the Empress Wu Zetian. Empress Wu Zetian was overjoyed.
In reality, the Wu Zhou dynasty had long been in turmoil. The court officials were
deeply worried and discussing the mass exodus of people from Jiangnan to Taihu Lake. In her early years, Empress Wu Zetian had consistently opposed the abuse of power and land grabbing by powerful noble families .
However, in her old age, her senses had dulled, and her decisions became less decisive. Her sons, nephews, and close officials, especially those with the Wu surname, relied on their
lineage to seize land and oppress the people. Wu Hong, the son of her most favored nephew Wu Sansi, and
Cai Shaobing, the half-brother of her favored minister Lai Junchen, were encroaching on farmland and houses in the Jiangnan region, abducting women, and requisitioning iron tools. This
left the people without land, tools, or cooking utensils, causing widespread discontent and leading many to flee to Taihu Lake for food
. A group of farmers, led by Li Decai, gathered and fled to Taihu Lake to seek a living. Reports from officials in various parts of Jiangnan were sent
to the capital, Luoyang.
The court officials were divided into two factions. One faction, led by Liang Wang Wu Sansi, the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat, advocated sending troops
to suppress the rebels at Taihu Lake. The other faction, led by Xie Yaohuan, the Registrar of the Imperial Academy, advocated sending officials to stop land annexation and
to appease the people so they could return to farming. The two sides were deadlocked, and a heavy, oppressive atmosphere filled the hall. Wu Zetian
, returning from Shangyang Palace in high spirits, immediately summoned her ministers. She was still unaware of the unrest in the south.
Empress Wu Zetian carefully read the secret report, pondered for a long time, and first sought the opinion of the censor Xu Yougong. Xu Yougong truthfully
reported, "If the rebellion is true, troops should be sent to suppress it. What are the signs of this Li Decai's rebellion? Is it
related to the princes of the Tang Dynasty? This still needs to be investigated."
The Censor-in-Chief Lai Junchen couldn't hold back any longer. He strongly advocated Wu Sansi's opinion, saying that his close relative Cai Shaobing was
in Jiangnan, and recently received a secret report from him that tens of thousands of people had gathered at Taihu Lake. If the rebellion wasn't severely suppressed, it would inevitably lead to unrest and become uncontrollable
.
Xie Yaohuan, who had remained silent until now, stepped forward and presented her opinion with reason and evidence.
"In recent years, the people of Jiangnan have been living in misery. Li Decai and his ilk are nothing more than landless peasants fleeing to Taihu Lake. It is only appropriate
to appease and resettle them, nipping the trouble in the bud. If a large army marches south, the whole country will be shaken, forcing them to take desperate measures and causing
a national disaster."
Local nobles and powerful families were seizing land, forcing the people to become displaced. In fact, Jiangnan is a prosperous land, and the people
are willing to live and work in peace and contentment. It would be better for Your Majesty to bestow favors, stop the powerful and wicked from doing evil, implement benevolent governance, so that the hungry can be
fed and the farmers can have their land, and then there will be peace in the world. "Xie Yaohuan was a palace maid deeply trusted by
Empress Wu Zetian. From a young age, she was selected from among the common people and brought into the palace, where she was carefully trained. Nine years later, she was skilled in calligraphy and literature, possessing
unparalleled talent. She was utterly loyal to Wu Zetian and highly valued by the Empress. Her analysis just now was well-reasoned and insightful
, surpassing even that of men. Wu Zetian understood this and ordered the court to adjourn, urgently summoning Xie Yaohuan to the palace and entrusting her with an important task: '
Your reports are in perfect harmony with my wishes. I hereby promote you to Right Imperial Censor, renaming you Xie Zhongju, and
appoint you as Imperial Inspector of Jiangnan. Wherever you go, observe the good and evil of officials and the people, examine the gains and losses of customs, inquire about the hardships, and provide relief to the starving. I bestow upon you an Imperial Sword
. Anyone who forcibly seizes farmland or oppresses the people, even those from powerful families and noble clans, will not be spared. I am concerned that you may be alone and vulnerable. The palace maid Su Luanxian is courageous
, insightful, loyal, and reliable; therefore, I will send her to accompany you.'" Entrusted with such a weighty responsibility, Xie
Yaohuan was deeply grateful, feeling that Empress Wu Zetian's grace was
boundless. She was determined to brave any obstacle, even mountains of knives and seas of fire. However, while comforting the people was relatively easy, the
powerful officials of the court, who owned numerous estates in Suzhou, wielded considerable influence. Even with the imperial sword, they feared they would be
powerless against these lawless tyrants. Su Luanxian reassured Xie Yaohuan not to worry. Upon arriving in Jiangnan, Xie Yaohuan met the valiant Yuan Xingjian, who
severely punished Wu Hong, son of the tyrant Wu Sansi, and Cai Shaobing, brother of Lai Junchen, for their bullying, oppression, and land grabbing. Wu Hong was executed with 　　 forty
strokes of the cane, and Cai Shaobing was immediately beheaded as a warning.
Wu Sansi's son was beaten, Lai Junchen's brothers were killed, and thousands of acres of fertile land were returned to the people for nothing. Wu and Cai
were filled with rage, their hatred for Xie Yaohuan reaching the depths of their bones. They presented the memorial falsely accusing Xie Yaohuan to Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu read it but
remained silent for a long time, eventually only saying indifferently, "Let me think about it," and did not pursue the matter further. The two were extremely anxious, unable to urge him or
ask him anything. The treacherous Lai Junchen finally devised a scheme to
change "Let me think about it" to "Execute him on my behalf." The two decided to immediately rush to Jiangnan to arrest Xie Zhongju. Under severe torture, even if
Xie did not confess to treason, as long as he had a confession, it would be a great achievement.
Wu Sansi was somewhat timid: "What if the Empress Dowager reprimands me for altering the imperial edict?"
"Treason is a serious matter, altering an edict is a minor matter. I believe His Majesty will not hold it against you."
The two followed the plan. Wu Sansi, under the pretext of overseeing the construction of the Jiangnan Imperial Palace, led a contingent of imperial guards south on horseback. Lai Junchen 　　 , with Wu Sansi's approval ,
also requested leave to accompany them.
Xie Yaohuan, ordered to travel south, swiftly and decisively punished powerful figures, offending many influential officials. For months,
secret reports continuously reached the court accusing her of colluding with the Taihu rebels and rebelling against the court. However, the sheer volume of rumors eventually
aroused Wu Zetian's suspicions. One day, a eunuch reported that a scholar from Suzhou named Long Xianggan had walked a thousand miles to the capital to report on her, and was now
awaiting imperial orders outside the palace. To reward informants, the court had a rule that anyone who reported on others would be rewarded with the待遇 of a high-ranking official, and the prefecture or county would
provide them with carriages and horses free of charge. This Long Xianggan, however, had traveled to the capital in simple clothes on foot. Wu Zetian found this strange and questioned him carefully. Long
Xianggan explained that the two officials he was reporting were powerful and had many informants, and he had come silently on foot to prevent any unforeseen events.
He then unfurled a blood-stained document, several feet long, written in blood, a petition from the people of Jiangnan accusing Wu Sansi and Lai Junchen
, and offering their lives as collateral to guarantee that Lord Xie Zhongju would not rebel.
Empress Wu Zetian was deeply moved after reading the letter. Enraged, she summoned Wu Sansi and Lai Junchen to the palace. Xu Yougong reported,
"Prince Liang and Lai Junchen have been ordered to go to Jiangnan to punish Xie Zhongju!"
Only then did Wu Zetian realize that her two favored ministers had brazenly altered the imperial edict and were causing trouble in Jiangnan behind her back. She was furious and
ordered Xu Yougong and Marshal Di Zhiyuan to accompany her on a secret journey to Jiangnan to rescue Xie Yaohuan.
After pacifying the people, the people of the Wu region were overjoyed, and Xie
Yaohuan felt a great weight lifted from her shoulders. However, a messenger arrived reporting that Prince Liang and Lai Junchen had suddenly arrived in Suzhou and demanded that she meet them immediately at their residence. Knowing something was amiss, Xie Yaohuan
entrusted the memorial she had written overnight to Su Luanxian and rushed back to Luoyang to present it to the emperor. In a short time,
Wu and Lai had surrounded Xie Yaohuan's residence with their troops, seized the imperial sword bestowed upon her by the emperor, and in an instant,
Xie Yaohuan, stripped of her official robes, was bound hand and foot and taken to prison.
Wu Sansi and Lai Junchen had lunch and rested until dark before ordering Xie Yaohuan to be interrogated in the main hall. The
doors and windows were tightly closed, and only their trusted servants were present in the hall.
Wu Sansi said to Lai Junchen, "Lord Lai, how can we use torture without the Emperor's discovery?"
Lai Junchen replied, "This humble official has a method, but I don't know if Xie Yaohuan can withstand it. Otherwise,
we must use severe torture. In the end, after she confesses, she can be tortured to death in the hall, leaving no evidence against her."
As the two were speaking, the servants brought Xie Yaohuan into the hall.
Wu Sansi and Lai Junchen questioned Xie Zhongju in the high hall: "Xie Zhongju, you flogged Young Master Wu and arbitrarily executed Cai Shaobing. Do you
know your crimes?" Xie Zhongju
replied, "I was ordered by His Majesty that 'those who forcibly seize farmland and oppress the people, even if they are wealthy or powerful, will not be spared.'
Did you not know this, Third Master Wu?"
"Xie Zhongju, I have investigated you and found that you harbored the assassin Ruan Hua and colluded with bandits on Taihu Lake. Your rebellious intentions are irrefutable. Do you still dare to deny
it?"
"The righteous man Yuan Xingjian roams the Jianghu, always ready to fight injustice. I respect him and we are sworn
brothers. I have already reported the whole story to His Majesty. How can you say I harbored him? I was ordered by His Majesty to send people to persuade the people to return to their hometowns to cultivate the land.
Furthermore, Third Master Wu's nephew, Wu Cunhou, went to appease them. Prefect Wu was recommended by Third Master Wu. Is Prefect Wu also plotting
rebellion?
" Wu Sansi and Lai Junchen, enraged, shouted, "Xie Zhongju, you have such a sharp tongue! Come here, drag her away and severely
torture her! Forty strokes of the cane!"
Several bailiffs grabbed Xie Yaohuan, while two others carried over a long bench. The bailiffs swiftly stripped off Xie Yaohuan
's trousers, pressed her naked buttocks onto the bench, and one bailiff raised a palm-sized bamboo stick and struck Xie Yaohuan 's fair buttocks
hard.
The bamboo stick whistled as it landed on Xie Yaohuan's bare buttocks.
"Ouch, oh my god!" Xie Yaohuan let out a miserable cry, and a wide
, swollen purple welt immediately appeared on
her plump, white buttocks. "Ah...ah..." Xie Yaohuan screamed, struggling desperately.
Immediately, another blood-red purple welt crossed over the previous one, and the tortured female inspector
cried out hoarsely!
"Smack...smack...smack..." The bamboo paddles fell repeatedly on Xie Yaohuan's buttocks,
leaving behind a series of purplish-blue welts. After dozens of blows, Xie Yaohuan's plump, white buttocks were swollen and bruised.
Born into wealth, Xie Yaohuan had never suffered such torment. Stripped naked and subjected to this torture, she felt both shame
and pain. A sharp, stabbing pain shot through her bare buttocks. At first, she screamed, but eventually, she couldn't bear
it any longer and fainted.
After the bailiffs had finished forty blows, they saw that Xie Yaohuan had passed out.
Lai Junchen said to Wu Sansi, “Your Highness, I just mentioned a method of torture that doesn’t injure the skin. It involves hanging the prisoner upside down
, placing an iron pot filled with vinegar under their head, covering it, and then heating it over charcoal. Once the vinegar
boils, the lid is lifted, and the vinegar fumes rush directly into the prisoner’s mouth and nose. The prisoner, inhaling the sour and hot fumes, will cough but
be unable to cough, often resulting in confessions. This is called ‘Immortal Riding the Mist.’ I’ve slightly modified it, and it might be possible to make Xie Yaohuan confess without
resorting to severe torture. What do you think of this method, Your Highness?”
“Since Lord Lai has such a wondrous torture, use it quickly.”
Two bailiffs carried in a small charcoal stove with a copper kettle on it.
They then splashed water on Xie Yaohuan to wake her.
Xie Yaohuan slowly awoke, lying face down on a stool, feeling a sharp pain in her buttocks.
The bailiffs dragged the naked Xie Yaohuan and threw her into the main hall.
Lai Junchen chuckled, "Xie Yaohuan, now you know how severe my punishments are. If you don't want to
suffer, confess."
Xie Yaohuan, enduring the stinging pain in her buttocks, struggled to reply, "I have been inspecting Jiangnan for less
than a month, and I have followed His Majesty's orders in everything I have done without error. You have no grounds to accuse me. I, Xie Zhongju,
am not afraid of death. To make me confess to treason, you'd have to wait for the Yangtze River to flow backward and the sun to rise in the west!"
Wu Sansi, overhearing this, angrily shouted, "Lord Lai, don't argue with her! Use the torture!
Let's see if she doesn't confess!"
Lai Junchen nodded in agreement and then ordered his men, "Come here and strip her naked!"
Several burly bailiffs practically grabbed the furiously cursing Xie Yaohuan.
"How dare you?! Don't touch me!!! Ah..." Terrified, Xie Yaohuan arched her back and
screamed.
"Hiss...hiss..." After a sharp tearing sound, Xie Yaohuan's upper garment was roughly ripped to pieces
, stripped from her full, mature body! The constables completely stripped Xie Yaohuan naked,
forcing her to stand naked in the hall.
Xie Yaohuan's naked body was snow-white and full, her well-maintained skin as delicate and elastic as silk. Her round,
large breasts, like two huge balls of flesh, hung heavily on her snow-white, crystal-clear chest. Her smooth,
delicate back curve was extremely beautiful; her mature, full body was healthy yet full of the charm of a mature woman.
Her plump, white buttocks were red and swollen, covered in bruises.
Several constables, staring at Xie Yaohuan's naked body, couldn't help but swallow hard. But they knew this
sexy, beautiful body wouldn't be theirs to enjoy anytime soon, so they could only watch greedily, reluctantly retreating
to the side.
Wu Sansi and Lai Junchen also stared intently at Xie Yaohuan's body, but they knew that if Xie Yaohuan
didn't confess, they wouldn't only be unable to enjoy this beautiful body, but it would also bring disaster upon them.
Xie Yaohuan, naked and struggling with shame and anger, cried out, "How dare you humiliate a court official like this!"
"Xie Yaohuan, if you confess, you won't have to suffer this pain."
"Bah, you scoundrel, getting me to confess is harder than climbing to heaven!"
The constables dragged Xie Yaohuan to the charcoal stove. Two constables twisted Xie Yaohuan's arms backward, causing her
to involuntarily lower her head, her purplish-blue, naked buttocks sticking up high, her head only about a foot from the kettle lid.
One constable lifted the lid, and vinegar fumes shot directly onto Xie Yaohuan's face. Caught off guard, Xie Yaohuan inhaled a large amount of vinegar fumes. Instantly
, tears, snot, and saliva gushed out. The vinegar fumes, both sour and hot,
were difficult to cough up. Xie Yaohuan tried desperately to shake her head, but the constables held her head firmly, preventing her from moving. She could only
struggle by twisting her buttocks.
Lai Junchen ordered the guards to put the lid back on the pot. Then he asked, "Xie Zhongju, will you confess or not?"
Xie Yaohuan coughed loudly, but did not answer Lai Junchen's question.
Lai Junchen angrily waved his hand, and the guards lifted the lid again. Xie Yaohuan then struggled, her large white buttocks sticking up high.
After several times, Lai Junchen knew that this torture was ineffective. He ordered his men to stop the torture and release Xie Yaohuan. Xie Yaohuan
lay naked on the ground, panting and coughing.
"Come on, put me on the yoke," Lai Junchen commanded.
Lai Junchen ordered his men to bring over the yoke, a large, T-shaped yoke with a horizontal bar in the middle. Xie Yaohuan
was bound naked to it, her arms outstretched to the sides, her wrists tied to the horizontal bar. Her legs were spread apart, and her ankles
were bound to iron rings at the bottom of the yoke with leather straps.
"Pinch them up!"
The constables pulled out a clattering pile of small wooden bars, each about a foot long, and a jumble
of ropes. He untied the bundle of four bars, two in each group, resembling a finger-crushing device
, with serrated edges on one side.
Xie Yaohuan's eyes immediately filled with terrifying despair and horror! As a female official, she
had heard of some of the cruel tortures in the palace, and of course knew what this thing was for! It was used to torture a woman's most delicate breasts
; the instrument was called a "breast cangue." Back when the Emperor was vying for favor in the harem, he had used it to cruelly interrogate Empress Wang and Consort Xiao
.
"No!..." Xie Yaohuan cried out incessantly, shaking her head frantically, her bound
hands and feet struggling violently!
The constables lifted Xie Yaohuan's pair of snow-white, full breasts, hanging the four small wooden bars across her chest.
The four rows of wooden teeth clamped between her two snow-white, full breasts.
Two constables pulled on the thick ropes on either side of the instrument, tightening the wooden teeth around Xie Yaohuan's white, full breasts.
Lai Junchen looked at her erect nipples and asked, "Speak, Xie Zhongju, this breast cangue is specifically for
women with large breasts like you. If you don't speak, your beautiful breasts will be in danger."
...
Lai Junchen gritted his teeth and ordered, "Clamp!
" The constables pulling the ropes simultaneously pulled to both sides, causing the four wooden bars to close together.
The gap between the wooden teeth narrowed, flattening the base of her two white breasts,
turning their originally pointed upper parts into swollen spheres.
"Ah! It hurts..."
The two constables used all their strength, the ropes were taut, and the gap in the breast cangue was only a finger's
width wide. Xie Yaohuan's two round breasts bulged with blue veins, frighteningly white, and the two nipples at the top were erect
. She writhed in pain, but was held tightly by the constables, her whole body trembling.
Seeing that Xie Yaohuan was about to faint from the pain, Lai Junchen quickly stepped down from the platform and waved his hand. The two constables released their grip, and the breast cangue
slowly loosened. The two pale breasts turned from white to red, and Xie Yaohuan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
But before she could catch her breath, Lai Junchen gave her a look, and the two constables pulled at the same time, tightening the ropes again.
This time the breasts turned red, and then increasingly purple. Xie Yaohuan's reaction was even more intense than before. She was
sweating profusely from the pain, and her head kept shaking.
Lai Junchen pressed, "Will you talk or not?!" Xie Yaohuan shook her head with difficulty.
Lai Junchen roared angrily, "Push harder! See how hard her breasts are!"
The wooden teeth on the two sets of wooden bars tightened little by little, and Xie Yaohuan fainted!
Then they loosened the ropes, allowing Xie Yaohuan's breasts, which had been squeezed flat, to
regain some of their original shape.
Xie Yaohuan slowly woke up and found that her breasts were still tightly bound, her nipples swollen with blood,
and her milk ducts open, becoming extremely sensitive. Two constables, one on each side, lifted Xie Yaohuan's high
, heaving breasts, and pressed steel needles against her trembling nipples. Each touch of the long needle
caused Xie Yaohuan to convulse. She knew what the constables were about to do.
"Confess or not? Breastfeeding with steel needles isn't pleasant," Lai Junchen shouted from the side.
Xie Yaohuan shook her head.
"Prick them!"
The constables plunged the long needles deep into her nipples.
"Ah...ya..." Xie Yaohuan let out a chilling scream, struggling violently,
pulling the ropes binding her hands and feet so hard they rattled loudly.
"Are you going to confess or not?" Lai Junchen yelled.
There was still no answer.
"Keep stabbing me!"
"Ah..." Another long needle was pierced into her nipple.
Xie Yaohuan hoped to faint again, but she remained conscious.
Lai Junchen grabbed her hair: "Want to stab me again?"
Xie Yaohuan groaned but didn't answer. Lai Junchen gestured to a nearby constable, who
grinned and picked up another long needle from the tray.
"Eek... ah..." Even though torture was commonplace during prisoner interrogations, Lai Junchen couldn't help but shudder at this scream
.
Each of Xie Yaohuan's nipples had been pierced four or five times. Her breasts felt like they were about to burst, her vision
blurred, but she remained perfectly conscious. Every time the constables and thugs prepared to stab her, she struggled desperately,
but to no avail.
Thus, she never gave in and fainted.
A basin of cold water was splashed on Xie Yaohuan, and she slowly regained consciousness. She tried to move, but found she still
couldn't; she was still bound. Xie Yaohuan looked up at the constables in front of her and was horrified to see them. The constables
lit incense sticks about the thickness of a little finger and slowly approached her. Xie Yaohuan's large breasts tensed and thrust forward,
trembling with her movements. Her two dark brown nipples were hard and erect, and the areolas around them bulged out of her breasts,
blood seeping from the needle holes. The constables held the fiery red incense sticks and then brought them close to Xie Yaohuan's nipples.
Lai Junchen waved his hand. Instantly, the burning red incense stick landed on Xie Yaohuan's nipples. The incense burned
through the skin and into the flesh. With a heart-wrenching scream, the courtroom was instantly filled with the smell of burnt flesh.
"Confess or not?"
"No!" "
Torture her!
" After each "No," the constables burned Xie Yaohuan's naked, snow-
white breasts little by little with the tip of an incense stick, blowing on the incense to make it burn brighter. Xie Yaohuan's cries of pain were unbearable to hear, but she was held tightly by the constables and
could not struggle.
Soon, Xie Yaohuan's cries gradually weakened, and she gradually fainted.
"Wake her up with cold water!" Lai Junchen shouted upon seeing this.
Xie Yaohuan was tortured to the point of death, thinking that fainting would end the ordeal, but she was woken up again by being splashed with cold water.
Lai Junchen asked, "Xie Yaohuan, will you confess now?"
Xie Yaohuan replied, "Injustice! Injustice!"
A constable took out another large incense stick and lit it.
"Well? Will you confess now?
" "No... I don't confess!" Xie Yaohuan replied.
"Torture her!" "Lai Junchen shouted.
The bailiff who had lit the large incense stick walked behind Xie Yaohuan and held it towards her buttocks, placing the tip
on her right thigh. Instantly, the burning red tip landed on Xie Yaohuan's snow-white buttocks. With
a heart-wrenching scream, the hall was once again filled with the acrid smell of burning flesh.
"Ugh!" "
How does it feel? Will you confess?"
"No, I won't confess!"
"Torture!"
After the shout of 'torture,' the bailiff placed the large incense stick on Xie Yaohuan's buttocks again. This time, it was on her
left buttock.
"Ugh! It hurts so much!"
Xie Yaohuan tried to escape the torment of the large incense stick, but her hands and feet were on the rack, and she was held tightly by the jailers
, unable to struggle, and could only helplessly wait for this torture to continue.
"Hurry up and confess!" "Lai Junchen said.
??? "No! No! Kill me!" Xie Yaohuan screamed desperately.
??? "Continue to torture her!"
??? The bailiff blew on the incense stick and pressed it against Xie Yaohuan's plump buttocks.
??? "Ah!" Another scream rang out.
??? Xie Yaohuan fainted again.
??? Xie Yaohuan was awakened once more by being splashed with cold water; she found herself still tied to the balance frame.
??? "Xie Yaohuan, will you confess or not?"
??? "No." "
Alright, use the Poison Dragon Whip!"
The Poison Dragon Whip was a specially made leather whip, only as thick as a little finger, soaked in a medicinal solution, causing excruciating pain when it struck.
A constable swung the whip and lashed it down at Xie Yaohuan's swaying white buttocks!
A dull thud echoed, and Xie Yaohuan felt a burning pain on her already bare and swollen buttocks .
The constable saw a dark red welt on her round buttocks, revealing a patch of snow-white skin.
He immediately felt an uncontrollable pleasure and lashed the whip even harder.
The female inspector's voluptuous body trembled violently with each strike of the whip to her buttocks. She
uttered incoherent cries, shaking her head incessantly, her black hair falling loose. Seeing that the female inspector's voluptuous buttocks were already covered in welts, the constable grinned maliciously and lashed the whip at 　　 her
back
.
Suddenly, Xie Yaohuan felt a burning pain on her back! A slender leather whip was being lashed out,
mercilessly striking her breasts, which were bound by ropes! With each
strike of the whip onto her delicate chest, fine, blood-red welts immediately appeared on Xie Yaohuan's full breasts!
Xie Yaohuan felt the whip lashing her tender, sensitive breasts; the waves of burning pain made her
dizzy, and she couldn't help but let out muffled, shrill screams. Her bound body writhed violently
!
The female inspector's full breasts trembled violently under the whip's strikes, and fine welts
quickly covered her delicate skin. The tortured beauty writhed violently on her naked body, constantly emitting
muffled screams; pain and humiliation contorted Xie Yaohuan's beautiful face.
Watching the thugs continue to brutally lash Xie Yaohuan with their long, thin leather whips, the whip mercilessly striking the female masseuse
's delicate breasts and smooth back, leaving prominent welts on her fair skin!
Xie Yaohuan was nearly driven mad. She desperately twisted her bound body, but because her arms were tied
to the frame, she couldn't escape the vicious lashes. Xie Yaohuan felt
a burning pain in her chest and back from the whipping, especially her sensitive breasts, which felt as if they were being peeled off.
Lai Junchen then ordered that she be subjected to the "Poison Dragon Whip Stinging the Vulva" torture.
The officers were already very familiar with this form of torture. They went forward, untied
the ropes binding Xie Yaohuan's ankles, and then grabbed her feet. At this point, Xie Yaohuan had no strength left to resist and could only submit to their will.
Each of the constables grabbed one of her legs, forcefully spreading them apart and lifting them upwards.
One constable picked up a leather whip, brandishing it, and walked up to Xie Yaohuan. He glanced at
the area below her legs, exposed from the pulling, and lashed out with the whip.
"Crack, crack..." The tough leather whip struck the most delicate and vulnerable part of the woman's body, the excruciating
pain piercing her very soul, causing Xie Yaohuan to shake her head and let out heart-wrenching screams. In just a few moments
, her lower body was a bloody mess.
Half an hour later, Xie Yaohuan was covered in bloody welts, and she finally fainted again.
Lai Junchen ordered someone to bring in a bronze vessel. Wu Sansi looked closely and saw that it was an incense burner with a bronze
tortoise standing on it, and a crank beside it. Lai Junchen said, "Your Highness, please look. This punishment is called 'Bronze Turtle Insertion into the Acupoint.' I
want to see how Xie Yaohuan will endure it."
Two constables brought in a bucket of cold water and splashed it on Xie Yaohuan. Stimulated by the cold water, Xie
Yaohuan slowly woke up.
Lai Junchen shouted, "Xie Yaohuan, if you still don't confess, don't blame us for the cruelty of our punishments. We'll make sure
you can never be a woman again!"
Xie Yaohuan groaned, "You old thief, use whatever torture you want! Even if I, Xie Zhongju, die under your cruelty,
I'll have no choice. I'll haunt you even after I die
!" "Fine, fine, fine, let's see how you endure this torture."
Two constables came forward and placed the bronze tortoise between Xie Yaohuan's spread legs. They then cranked the handle, and the tortoise's
head slowly emerged from its shell, approaching Xie Yaohuan's genitals. One constable pulled apart Xie Yaohuan's
labia, opening her vagina, and the tortoise head slowly penetrated her. Her genitals
, still swollen from recent torture, cried out in pain and fear as the tortoise head entered.
"Add more fire!"
At Lai Junchen's command, the constables opened the vent of the incense burner and added charcoal.
As the temperature rose, Xie Yaohuan's lower body became increasingly scalding; this pain
was far more unbearable than the red-hot copper rod being directly inserted into her. The screams emanating from her hoarse throat grew increasingly terrifying and pitiful. She writhed her
naked body, groaning helplessly, the copper glans deeply inserted into her lower body,
sweat pouring down Xie Yaohuan's body.
Seeing that Xie Yaohuan could not endure it any longer, Lai Junchen ordered the charcoal to be removed, but did not pull out the copper glans. Xie Yaohuan struggled
and gasped for breath for a while, then Lai Junchen ordered more charcoal to be added. Xie Yaohuan writhed her naked body again, screaming in agony, sweat
pouring down her body, dripping onto the copper glans and rising in wisps of white smoke. The constable manipulated the mechanism, inserting the scalding hot glans
into Xie Yaohuan's vagina. The moment the red glans touched the tender flesh, a
pungent smell of roasting meat filled the air. Xie Yaohuan let out a piercing scream, but the executioner ignored it and continued to push the glans deeper. At this point, Xie Yaohuan's
labia majora and minora, vagina, even her clitoris and foreskin were scalded. All her muscles were tense, and she was sweating profusely
, clearly in unbearable pain. The more than one-foot-long glans was fully inserted into her vagina, reaching her
cervix, and her pain reached its peak. She screamed desperately like a wounded, trapped animal.
"Aww, I... I confess! I confess everything! Please, take it out!"
"Ha, ha, let's see if you're still stubborn. Men, move the bronze tortoise away."
The constables pulled the bronze tortoise out of Xie Yaohuan's lower body. When the glans was pulled out, Xie Yaohuan's vagina
was full of blisters, the skin and flesh were charred, and her labia were like half-cooked roasted meat strips, oozing yellow
oil. Xie Yaohuan gasped for breath, her mouth agape. Lai Junchen ordered his men to write down Xie Yaohuan's alleged crimes, then asked,
"Xie Zhongju, you flogged Young Master Wu, arbitrarily beheaded Cai Shaobing, harbored the assassin Ruan Hua, and colluded with bandits on Taihu Lake. Your rebellious acts are undeniable
, and you have confessed. I ask you, who instructed you to do these things? If you reveal the mastermind, this official and the Marquis
will treat you leniently. Confess quickly!"
Xie Yaohuan then realized that they not only wanted to frame her, but also Lord Di and Lord Xu. She raised her head
and said, "You dog thieves, kill me if you want, but don't even think about me framing others."
Wu Sansi, enraged, shouted, "Bring on the bronze tortoise torture!"
"Wait," Lai Junchen said, "The meat is already cooked; how can it feel anything? Give me the monkey wearing a crown!"
Immediately, two constables came forward and put a headband on Xie Yaohuan. Lai Junchen shouted 　　, "Retract!" and the clamps tightened instantly
. Xie Yaohuan felt as if her head was about to explode, stars flashed before her eyes, and a faint metallic taste rose in her throat , as if she were about to spit blood. "Confess or not?" Lai Junchen asked. 　　 "You framed me, fine, but you've also framed a high-ranking official! Your crimes are heinous! I will endure any cruel torture you 　　may use. I will not confess falsely to harm others. No confession!" 　　 "Retract!" 　　 The bailiff tightened the clamps again, and Xie Yaohuan instantly broke out in a cold sweat, her eyes bulging, and cried out, "It hurts so much!" 　　Blood spurted from her mouth and nose, and she died a gruesome death in the hall. 　　 Xie Yaohuan died from torture. Unable to force a high-ranking official to his death without any confession, Wu Sansi panicked. Lai Junchen, however, was experienced: "Confessions can be fabricated. Since I began administering punishments, 　　many have 　　died from caning without confessions , and His Majesty has not paid much attention."

"We'll have to rely on you, Your Excellency!"
"Guards, clean Xie Yaohuan up and take her back to the prison."
The bailiffs hastily dressed Xie Yaohuan and carried her back to the prison.
The two then discussed how to report to the Emperor. Suddenly, a commotion arose outside the gate; the people were spreading the news.
Empress Wu Zetian had unexpectedly arrived at the Imperial Inspector's residence. Entering the main hall, the air was thick with the smell of torture instruments and blood.
The Empress understood the situation immediately and repeatedly asked, "Where is Xie Zhongju?" Lai Junchen quickly replied, "Xie Zhongju committed
suicide out of fear of punishment." Empress Wu Zetian ordered Xu Yougong to summon the executioners to examine the body. The executioners reported that Lord Xie had suffered various tortures, ultimately
dying from the "monkey wearing a crown" torture. Outside the yamen, shouts erupted as over ten thousand Suzhou citizens, carrying incense burners on their heads, surged to the gate
to cry out for justice for Lord Xie's tragic death.
Empress Wu Zetian knew that public anger was difficult to quell, so she informed the people that the court would certainly try the case fairly and advised them to leave quickly
.
Empress Wu Zetian, enraged, personally interrogated Wu and Lai: "Wu Sansi, you allowed your son to act recklessly, following
the old path of powerful families annexing land, shaking the foundations of the nation. Yet you falsely accused Xie Zhongju, causing his death. According to the law, you should be executed. However, considering your
past minor merits, I will remove you from your position as Minister of the Imperial Household and deduct three months' salary. Go back to the capital and reflect on your past actions! Lai Junchen!
You have been usurping the power of the court for more than a day, arbitrarily framing loyal officials to death. Your crimes are heinous. I will use the imperial
sword I bestowed upon Xie Zhongju to execute you."
After the executions of the criminals, Empress Wu saw the memorial from Xie Yaohuan, delivered by Su Luanxian overnight.
She couldn't help but shed tears, regretting her reliance on and trust of treacherous officials, which led to the death of innocent loyalists. She issued an edict posthumously conferring upon Xie Yaohuan the title of Marquis of Dingguo and ordering her a proper burial on the east bank of the Wu River
. She also ordered Yuan Xingjian to return from Taihu Lake and immediately go to the capital, Luoyang, for another important position.
Empress Wu Zetian looked at Su Luanxian with pity and ordered her to return to the capital with her. Su Luanxian, already heartbroken, preferred to stay in Suzhou
to guard Xie Yaohuan's tomb for three years.
Yuan Xingjian, weary from his journey, rushed back from Taihu Lake to report the good news to his wife. The righteous people of Taihu Lake, finally moved by Lord Xie's actions
, immediately set off to return home for spring plowing. Unwilling to endure half a month of separation, he was greeted by Su Luanxian, dressed in plain white. His beloved
wife was gone forever, reduced to dust: "Even if a monument rises a hundred feet high, this sorrow will last forever."
Old and new grievances left Yuan Xingjian with no hope for the Wu clan's imperial power. He said to Luanxian, "With Yaohuan's death, my
heart is shattered. When you see the Emperor again, ask her to open her eyes and ears, to heed loyal advice, so that the people may enjoy the happiness of a peaceful life, free from
the suffering of war. If she continues to favor treacherous officials and persecute loyal ministers, I fear the world will be plunged into chaos!" 　　Having
said this, he begged Su Luanxian to guard his beloved wife's grave, and from then on, he wandered the world, roaming the misty waters of the Five Lakes.
