"Concubine Li's death seems to be an ironclad case with conclusive evidence, but in fact it is full of loopholes, and the concubine has already raised the doubts, so it should be a matter for Zongzheng Temple to investigate and collect evidence. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Or it could be simpler, if Xicheng Yizhuang was inexplicably burned by fire, Yunxiao's tomb was inexplicably stolen, and the corpse was missing. Then it can be proved that the concubine and Zhang Zhongwen are innocent, because this is completely framing the concubine and destroying the evidence. "I didn't have any solid evidence to prove my innocence, so I wanted to divert everyone's attention.

Investigation and evidence collection itself should be the business of Zongzheng Temple, and it is not wrong to find out when there is a suspicion in the case. With that person's scheming, she will definitely do a good job, so Yunxiao's corpse and the empty coffin in Xicheng Yizhuang will definitely disappear.

"What a lie! Your three-inch incorruptible tongue has been talking for so long, but your mouth is full of tongues, and in the end you can't prove anything. Look for yourself at the bloody clothes, and the gilded dagger, neither of which will allow you to escape death. Jiang looked at me with vicious eyes.

"The concubine can't escape death because the empress dowager doesn't want to return the concubine's innocence at all!" I said this, even if I tore my face with the Jiang family. Because I realized that I had rebelled against her scales, she must have wished I was dead. Now that there is such an opportunity, it is strange that she will let it go!

"Presumptuous! You have committed a heinous crime, not only do you not repent, but you even dare to maliciously contradict the Empress Dowager!" Fu Shun twisted his eyebrows and glared, scolded me, and immediately said to the Jiang family flatteringly, "The Empress Dowager, people like this! ”

Listening to his words, my cold sweat came down. Tilting his head, he looked at Zhang Zhongwen and exchanged glances with him, signaling that he must resist. Fushun's words Jiang listened to his ears, if the confession obtained by torture was inevitably criticized, because there was a suspicion of torture, her status was outstanding, so she had to worry about it.

At this time, the Jiang family saw Zhang Zhongwen's slight head movements, which seemed to make her find another breakthrough, "Zhang Zhongwen, the mourning family heard that you are full of poetry and writing, and you are a talented person. If you succeed in the scientific examination next year, maybe you will be able to make steady progress from now on, do you want to bury your future? If you think about it carefully, if you are accused of betraying and killing Concubine Li, not only your future will be ruined, but even the future of your son, grandson, and future generations will be ruined. However, as long as you can identify the mastermind of Concubine Li's murder, the mourning family can let you get out of the way, without affecting your future fame and the interests of future generations. How's it going?"

When Jiang said such a thing, everyone's reaction was mixed. However, it was very inappropriate for her to do so, because according to the testimony of witnesses, Zhang Zhongwen himself was a criminal, and it was not an international joke to let him get out? However, her trick was too poisonous! If Zhang Zhongwen testified against me, I would have nothing to say, after all, people do not kill heaven and earth for their own sake. It's just that if he did, the result might not be good. It can also be said that none of us have any better results.

"This is a great thing! Zhang Zhongwen, what are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and confess the mastermind! Don't wait to endure hardships, think about how many beatings you can take with your thin body?" Fu Shun instigated Zhang Zhongwen while intimidating him, and his fine squinted eyes still glanced at me from time to time.

"The villain and Princess Xuan are innocent, there is nothing out of the rules, no crime has been committed, and no harm has been committed to Concubine Li. The villain doesn't know who the mastermind of killing Concubine Li's mother is, but that person is definitely not Princess Xuan, please let the Empress Dowager know it! The villain has read some books and knows that he should be upright, and he will never speak with his conscience for the sake of his own future, afraid of being beaten a few times. "Zhang Zhongwen said politely and politely, and it didn't disappoint me at all.

Jiang felt that Zhang Zhongwen didn't know what to do, and he hated it so much that he couldn't speak. Fushun understood her thoughts best, so he fanned the flames in her ears again, "Empress Dowager, it seems that this Zhang Zhongwen is dizzy by women, and he doesn't even want the future of the family." This kind of sour rotten literati is the most hard-mouthed, and he will definitely not tell the truth if he doesn't show some strength. ”

"Hmm!" Jiang nodded, the cry of death penalty had already conjured up in her mind, she seemed to like to see others suffer, this old woman's heart was not a little distorted. So she turned to Zhao Jianming and said: "Zhao Qing, the mourning family must be punished and served, so they are willing to confess." ”

Zhao Jianming did not fail to extort confessions by torture, which is an efficient means of handling cases, because criminals often recruit as soon as they are beaten. He called for the officer, "Someone come, tie Zhang Zhongwen to the torture pillar, and beat him until he is recruited." ”

This Zhao Jianming is too ruthless! If he doesn't recruit him, won't he have to beat people to death? Sure enough, he is a prison official, and his heart is black!

"Yes!" Two officers tied Zhang Zhongwen to a log at the back, which had turned rusty red in the middle and lower parts of the log because it had been soaked in blood for a long time, but the top was still earthy yellow.

"Empress Dowager, are you doing this to beat Zhang Zhongwen into a trick?" This is crisis public relations, I want to make the Jiang family have some scruples through these unpleasant words, and it is best to take back the fate.

"Do you think that if you play tricks with the mourning family, play word games, and put a hat on the mourning family, the mourning family will not dare to torture you? Should the mourning family say that you are smart? Or are you naïve? Don't you still understand your own situation? You must have corresponding means to deal with the Diao people, and you don't have to worry, it will be your turn soon. "Jiang's words are completely threatening.

At this moment, I suddenly felt like a deflated balloon. Facing the Jiang family, I am no longer sure if I can still keep Zhang Zhongwen. Originally, I still pinned my hopes on Dongfang Zheng, but now the situation is that I am afraid that I will die before I see him, or Zhang Zhongwen has been beaten to death. I regret it, I am annoyed, I have drawn an innocent man into the whirlpool, and I can't save him.

"Call me!" Zhao Jianming threw out the order sign, and everyone's hearts rose to their throats.

The two errand officers each had a long whip, and when they picked it up, they whipped it on Zhang Zhongwen's body, and as soon as the whip went down, the skin and flesh immediately opened, and the blood turned red into the prison clothes. Each whip brought Zhang Zhongwen great pain, his ** voice was not loud, it sounded more like a muffled hum, he must have gritted his teeth to prevent himself from screaming. He was holding back, and the cold sweat on his forehead was thrown off as his body shook.

One, two, three... Ten times... Twenty times... Thirty ...... , only 30 strokes, Zhang Zhongwen's prison clothes have turned red.

The whip-wielding officer kept chanting, "Recruit or not, move quickly..."

Zhang Zhongwen was whipped, gritted his teeth and replied: "The villain is wronged, and he is not guilty!"

"Stubborn..."The messenger's hand was a little stronger.

"Ahh Although he is weak, he is a man with backbone after all.

The sound of the whip breaking flesh kept ringing in the hall, except for the Jiang family's master and servant with a smile on the corner of their mouths, the rest of the people were scared, and everyone was afraid that such a whip would be whipped on their bodies.

After a while, Zhang Zhongwen's head drooped and suddenly fell silent, and the two servants naturally stopped and put the blood-stained whip in their hands. One of them went to test his snort, and quickly reported to Jiang and Zhao Jianming, "The prisoner has fainted. ”

Zhao Jianming looked at the Jiang family, and the Jiang family didn't raise his eyelids, so he said: "If you wake up and fight again, the mourning family wants to see how hard his bones are!
