Those nine people are hard bones, and the matter has come to this, and they still bite their mouths under the threat of heavy punishment. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Master Li is no longer here, and there are few people in our Supervision Department who are good at using torture, so we can't really beat people to death......" Yi Junru frowned.

Wei Qianyan frowned when he heard this.

I don't know when the Supervision Department began to punish heavily, but all those who entered the prison of the Supervision Department went to most of their lives before the case was clear, so that everyone in Chang'an talked about the tiger's color.

Cui Ning thought of Yuan Ping's weak body bones, and couldn't help but worry, "You actually started to torture? That young man can't take a few beatings!"

Yi Junru was quite good at looking at it, and when he saw that Wei Qian's expression was not quite right, he hurriedly explained, "No, the adults have not given an order, who dares to use a big punishment in private?" No one dares to touch Yuan Ping, but the rest of them were very uncooperative when they were arrested, and they were taught a few lessons by the Eagle Guard, all of them were strong men, but a little skin injury was really inevitable. ”

It's just that he threatened them with torture during interrogation!

Thinking of the reactions of those people, Yi Junru checked it in his heart and decided to tell the truth, "My lord, although the lower officials did not use heavy punishment during the interrogation, they threatened them, and the reaction of these people was very strange, it seemed that it was not fear but hatred. ”

The average person is faced with something terrible, or trembling or fearless, but it is unlikely that this kind of hatred will occur.

If you haven't been hurt, how can you hate?

Cui Ning suddenly thought that Yuan Ping seemed to have said that day, "Won't your Supervision Department torture to extract confessions", which means that the Supervision Department is used to torture, and she didn't care about it at the time, after all, the Criminal Law of the Supervision Department is a well-known fact, but at this time, combined with the reactions of other suspects, I am afraid that there is something else hidden in this matter.

Wei Qian was not the slightest surprised, and calmly handed the file in his hand to Yi Junru, "Let's take a look at this file." ”

Yi Jun hurriedly bowed his head and took it, and the feeling of starting his hand made him slightly surprised.

The cases of the Supervision Department are divided into levels, and most of the files are made of ordinary paper, the more confidential ones are branded with leather, and there is also a kind of fire-proof paper. This kind of fire-proof paper, which is said to be "paper", is actually leather, but it is made by a special method to make it more resilient and has a certain degree of fireproofness, and it will not be incinerated if thrown in a brazier for an hour or two.

The process of making fireproof paper is complicated, and the whole process takes one or two years, so the cases recorded with it are all major cases.

Yi Junru held his mind a little and opened the file to take a closer look.

Cui Ning looked surprised when he took the file, and couldn't help but immediately lean over to watch it together.

The case recorded above was only five years ago, and Yi Junru still remembers it vividly.

Yuan Zhuo, the former commander of the Forbidden Soldiers and Horses, attempted to murder the saint, and was sentenced to Ling Chi, and his relatives were all beheaded, and the rest of the nine clans were all exiled.

Since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there have been few cases where such a large-scale sentence has been imposed, and the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason is just beheading for public display, and capital punishment such as Ling Chi and five horses are not commonly used.

At that time, as soon as the holy decree came out, the whole world was shocked.

There are not many people who know the inside story of this case, and the file Wei Qian brought today is only the frontispiece, and the information Yi Junru obtained from it is not as detailed as he knows, although he is messing around in the Supervision Department, he is not in vain.

Yi Junru thought that Wei Qian was also the Supervision Department who joined later, so he said, "It is said that the executor of Yuan Zhuo's Ling Chi punishment back then was Lord Li, and before that, it was also Lord Li who assisted in the interrogation. ”

After that, he reacted that if Wei Qian hadn't guessed this layer, he wouldn't have run to turn over this old case.

Wei Qian glanced at him, "Yuan showed his feet in his words, I have gone through the cases of the past few years in my heart, and among the cases involving the person surnamed Yuan, this one is the most likely case." ”

Before Yuan Tou became the commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division, he was a general who led the troops to fight, and he was righteous, and there were many brothers in life and death who followed him.

After the incident, these cronies were also counted among the nine clans, and most of them died in Huangquan.

Yi Junru silently thought about how many cases in the Supervision Department over the years had people surnamed Yuan involved, and sighed casually, "It seems that Yuan Zhuo still has cronies alive, and he even saved his son and hid him in the Terracotta Division for so many years!"

The so-called dark lights, the most dangerous place is often the safest place, these people have not shown their feet in the first five years of mixing in the Soldiers and Horses, if it is not for revenge, it is impossible to hide for a lifetime.

At this point, Cui Ning also clarified the case, "If they find a place far away from the Emperor of the Sky to settle down, they will probably not come to this point." ”

Thinking about the enemy's proximity every day, how tormented is his heart? Being able to endure it for five years before killing someone to vent his anger can be regarded as quite perseverance and patience.

Cui Ning thought for a while, and then wondered, "But the person who gave the order was Your Majesty, why did they find someone to execute?"

If everyone took revenge like this, wouldn't those executioners have died 180,000 times sooner!

"Lord Xiao Cui doesn't know, this matter may have an inside story. There were only three of them in the room, Yi Junru still lowered his voice mysteriously, "Such a big case, it only took three days to solve it, I heard a friend say that Yuan Tuo had already choked his breath before the execution, and this matter was not a secret in the Supervision Department back then, but since the Holy Lord ordered the murderer to be killed alive, it must not be a dead chop, after all, this matter is the fault of the Supervision Department, so it was suppressed." ”

Yuan Zhuo just died the night before the execution, and the saint did not send someone to supervise the execution, so the supervision department fooled the matter, after all, the saint was still angry, and no one dared to go up at this time to find uncomfortable.

Yi Junru paused for a moment and continued, "Yuan Zhuo didn't commit suicide, nor was he killed, but he was tortured before he died, which was not fatal at all, which is really strange. I vaguely heard people talk about it, Yuan Zhuo did not rebel, but just became someone else's scapegoat, and Master Li, who was executed at the beginning, was the accomplice of the mastermind behind the scenes. ”

Cui Ning said, "Didn't Yuan Ping and the others also know about this, so they went to intercept and kill Master Li, and wanted to know from him who the real murderer was?"

"If this is the case, Master Li is afraid that he has been a good person in vain. Wei Qian slowly rolled up the fire-avoiding paper, "Let's go, the three-day limit is coming." ”

Yi Junru and Cui Ning looked at each other, and followed them to the prison a few steps behind.

The prison of the Supervision Department was originally only a temporary place for prisoners, and most of them were usually empty, but now many people are being imprisoned, and even a dozen or so new jailers have been added for this purpose.

After Wei Qianzhong sat down in the hall, he ordered, "Just press the prisoners over to four." ”

In addition to Yuan Ping, Wei Qian saw the other people involved in the case for the first time, so before he spoke, he carefully looked at the four of them.

These people are all young and middle-aged, and five years ago must have been a good time to be in high spirits.

"Are you Yuan Zhuo's cronies or have you received his favor?"

As soon as he spoke, he startled the others. They thought that the matter would not be dug up so quickly in the past five years, and these days they gritted their teeth and wanted to drag things out, and then find an opportunity to confess to a pair and take Yuan Ping out, who expected the Supervision Department to act so quickly this time!

"Oh, it doesn't really matter. Wei Qian put the file down, his gaze swept over the bodies of the ten people, and finally landed on one of the eldest, "The important thing is that you killed one person in vain. ”

Wei Qianyu saw that the rest of the people were all angry, only this person was not affected in the slightest, so he stared at him and said, "Lord Li is lonely in his life, withdrawn and perverse, no kindness, no disgust, only the best righteousness, only a man like Commander Yuan can move him." ”

"The official can't be sure whether he has taken refuge with someone behind his back, but there is one thing, and the official can tell you categorically, Yuan Tuo did not die of forced confession, nor was he killed. ”

The face of the person who was stared at by Wei Qian moved slightly, as if he wanted to question, but he couldn't help it.

"This Tang Dynasty, if you say who is the best at using torture, it must be Lord Li! If he doesn't want anyone to die of heavy punishment, that person will never die. As for killing people and killing people, it is even more nonsense! Now that the case has been settled and the date of execution has been set, who is so full of food and so panicked that he would kill a prisoner an hour or two before the execution?"

Wei Qian said, and added lightly, "He died in such a timely manner, so as not to suffer a delay." ”

As long as he is not stupid, anyone can understand the meaning of his words - Li Yu respects him and Yuan Tuo is a good man, so that he will die a happy death, so as not to live and suffer the humiliation of capital punishment.

If this is the case, Li Yu can still be regarded as Yuan Tuo's benefactor.

Yi Junru glanced at Wei Qian unscrupulously, wondering in his heart whether he made up what he said or if there was any conclusive evidence?

Wei Qian's words, to Yi Junru's ears, is not without flaws, then even if Yuan Tuan has been convicted, as long as he does not die, the case may be overturned at any time, after all, how many people in this world can resist Ling Chi's pain? If he is really a scapegoat, then the people behind the scenes will inevitably not worry that he will not survive Ling Chi, and open his mouth to shake out the truth, and it is reasonable to kill people at the end of the matter......

However, Yi Junru didn't expect that there was not much loophole in the ears of Yuan Zhuo's cronies, because they would never believe that their master would succumb to the pain of flesh and skin. Moreover, these people's minds are far more meticulous than Yi Jun's.

Wei Qian saw the struggle and pain hidden in their eyes, and followed the temptation, "So, did you know that Yuan Tuo had grievances before you started killing?"

They believed his words, which also proved from the side that Yuan Zhuo might indeed have suffered injustice, and he didn't know the inside story of the rebellion at all, but he just pushed it out to people and took the blame.

"Are you Lord Wei Changyuan?" the elder finally spoke.

Wei Qian replied, "Exactly." ”

"Sun Qi, the grass people, I have always heard that the adults are fair and selfless, if the grass people really have grievances, will the adults accept it?" He looked at Wei Qian hopefully, and knew clearly in his heart that no matter whether Wei Qian agreed or not this time, they would not be able to escape, and it would only be a matter of time before it dragged on.

Wei Qian pursed his lips slightly.

Yi Junru looked at him anxiously, seeing that the thin lips were about to speak, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "My lord, this matter ......"
