Chapter 137: Extorting Confessions by Torture

readx;

"Lord Mo, have you been okay?" Mo Heng coldly looked at the man in a scarlet official robe, who was still handsome, majestic and calm in middle age, and greeted him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Pei Qin squinted at the Dali Siqing who interrogated them from the interrogation. It is slightly similar to Mo Heng, but it is not as handsome as Mo Heng, but another kind of elegant and calm handsomeness, which has gone through the precipitation of the years, mature and charming. I can't see that he can be a person who is ruthless to his own son.

Mo Kui's face changed, and after a few years, his impression of this son was still that he was lying in a pool of blood, staring at him with anger and hatred, and asked him why. When they met again, his eyes turned out to be better, and he became his prisoner. looked at Pei Qin, a very ordinary and ordinary woman, who was his wife.

The deputy judge on the side looked at Mo Xiao and Mo Heng, the two former fathers and sons, coughed lightly, and reminded, "My lord! The trial is ready to begin. ”

Mo Xiao retracted his gaze and nodded at him, "The main culprit Pei Qin, you have recruited the poisoning of soy sauce in the palace!" ”

Pei Qin cleared his throat, "My lord."

! I said I was wronged, do you believe me? ”

Mo Yi frowned, "Chronic poison was found in the soy sauce of the tribute, from the emperor and the queen mother to the palace maids and eunuchs, all of them were poisoned, where did you get your injustice?" ”

"I'm really wronged! My lord! Yes... No, grass people, grass people are really wronged! was arrested inexplicably, and came up to the grass people on the charge of poisoning the palace, and the grass people were wronged! Pei Qin shouted with a look of wrongedness.

Mo Heng looked at her pretending to cry out for injustice and reminded, "People's woman. ”

Pei Qin glanced at him and continued to shout injustice, "Even if you give the grass people ten guts, you don't dare to poison the soy sauce!" If you poison the emperor and the nobles in the palace, the whole family of the grass people will be beheaded! Wronged! This is a great grievance! ”

There was a startled sound, and Mo Xiao asked in a deep voice, "Hugh is noisy!" ”

Ga!

Pei Qin looked at him, "My lord! The grass people are really wronged! ”

"Pei Qin! The matter of poisoning you, why did you poison it, and it was really invited! Mo Qi asked coldly.

"Alright! Since you don't believe that the grass people are wronged, then I'll try it? Pei Qin laughed, "First of all, there has to be a reason for poisoning the soy sauce sent to the palace." This reason is that the grass people are unbalanced in their hearts, and they are angry and resentful of the court and the emperor! Obviously, the sweet potatoes planted by the grass people were given to others, and the reward for the grass people finally came down, and an archway was built, which could not be eaten or drunk. But I heard that a Miss Liang San was canonized as the county lord because she planted double-cropping rice. What an injustice the court has! The emperor is really eccentric! This anger in the hearts of the grass people! What a grudge! I can't wait to kill this mediocre emperor! ”

"Bold Pei Qin! Dare to speak insults to the saints of today!? The deputy judge shouted angrily.

Pei Qin looked at him strangely, "It's not you who want to interrogate, you want the grass people to recruit from the truth, aren't the grass people recruiting!" ”

Mo Qian waved his hand and let Pei Qin continue.

Pei Qin continued, "The grass people can't wait for the emperor to die!" So, the grass people thought of a way to retaliate, your emperor has to eat and no matter how much the cow fork is, so the grass people poisoned the soy sauce sent to the palace, oh, it is colorless and tasteless poison, otherwise it will be found after layer of inspection. So, in the palace, from the emperor and the queen mother to the palace maids and eunuchs, they ate the soy sauce of the grass people, and all of them were poisoned. If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Yu ate a lot and fell ill quickly, a year or two later, the people in the palace ate the soy sauce of the grass people, and they would have to be desperate! ”

The master bookkeeper on the side held a pen and recorded all the words Pei Qin said. It's just that this is said, why is this guilty confession so wrong?

The deputy judge turned his head and glanced at Mo Qi, and scolded Pei Qin to reply well, "Recruit from the truth, so as not to serve the big punishment!" ”

"When it comes to the great punishment, the grass people's hairs stand up! But don't! The grass people are recruiting! Pei Qin stretched out his hand and shouted.

"If you don't want to suffer from flesh and skin, just tell the truth as soon as possible!" Mo Xiao reminded in a cold and majestic voice.

"Move! Move! Pei Qin kept nodding, "My lord!" You pay attention to evidence in handling cases, right? I don't know what the certified physical evidence is, have you all arrived? ”

"The physical evidence is conclusive." Mo replied to her.

Pei Qin nodded again, "Then are you only going to look at the evidence, and don't look at the matter, is it reasonable?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Mo asked.

Pei Qin sneered, "My lord! Even if the grass people are grassroots, they also know that the thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, if you want to say that the grass people are dissatisfied with the court in their hearts, they poison the soy sauce sent into the palace, poisoning the emperor and the palace. After being poisoned and going through layers of security checks, are those capable people in the Internal Affairs Office all straw bales, and they can't find out that soy sauce is poisonous? The imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital are all eating dry rice, and it has been almost a year, and none of them have found poisoning in the palace? There are also the imperial chefs in the imperial dining room, and the eunuchs and palace maids who try the dishes, which are really implicated

! The grass people are really powerful, such a big game of chess, can make the palace eat the grass people's soy sauce poisoned, and when it comes to the underworld, the king of Hades will also admire the grass people, and the grass people should be officials! If you are alive and make meritorious contributions, you can't be an official, but if you die, you can be an official, and you can't die well! ”

The master bookkeeper of the record couldn't go on, and looked up at Pei Qin. It happened suddenly, and it was really shocking. But if you really want to analyze it specifically, is there really something strange about this Pei Qin's poisoning of soy sauce?

Pei Qin suddenly exclaimed, "You must not have found who got the poison from the grass people, right?" I can't find it, it's the poison made by the grass people themselves, ah! It turns out that the grass people still have this ability, I didn't even know I was so powerful! Turning his head and asking Mo Heng, "I heard that I have become a master of drug making, and the drugs I made have even been hidden from the top people in the palace, do you worship me even more?" ”

Mo Heng smiled and nodded, "The whole world will worship you." "Not only the whole world, but when the bomb comes out, history will be rewritten by her.

"I kind of adore myself, too!" Pei Qin nodded smugly, and said, "Speaking of which, I admire the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital even more!" I didn't find poisoning before, but when I found one, everyone found out that I was poisoned! Even the poison in the soy sauce that the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not find out, let them find out! He is worthy of being the top person in the medical field of Chu State! It's awesome! ”

The people in the hall also found out, where is Pei Qin's confession, it is clearly sarcastic and despicable to the Internal Affairs Office, the Tai Hospital and the Imperial Dining Room, no, even the people in charge of this case are also despised.

Pei Qin looked at Mo Qi and asked with a grin, "My lord!" You said that the grass people are so powerful, thousands of miles away, while farming and making soy sauce, while controlling the palace, such a big power, can you rebel by the way? ”

Mo Kui and the deputy judge both changed their faces.

"And! Lao Tzu is so powerful, you dare to let Lao Tzu kneel here, not afraid that I will move my little fingers, your whole family has been poisoned, and someone will die or something!? Pei Qin asked.

Looking at her mocking smile, her eyes were deep but hard and calm, faintly emitting a momentum of contempt for all beings from within, she was not afraid at all from the beginning, and had been in control of the entire interrogation process, Mo Xiao's eyes changed slightly when she looked at her, and her gaze fell on Mo Heng again. Yes, if he didn't die, he wouldn't be a peaceful person, how could he marry an ordinary and incompetent country woman!?

"Lord Mo admires the grass people's vision!" Mo Heng pursed his lips slightly and asked lightly.

Mo Kui looked at him coldly, "Soy sauce poisoning, are you the mastermind?" "It is said that Pei Qin is a country woman, even if she is a little extraordinary, she does not dare to poison the emperor and the nobles in the palace, if the mastermind is Mo Heng, with his mind, he can do it.

Pei Qin looked at Mo Heng abruptly, "The powerful person has become you again, it seems that the two of us can join forces to take revenge on the society and destroy the world!" ”

"And then become a god." Mo Heng nodded in response to her.

Pei Qin laughed out loud and urged the master book on the side, "Hurry up and write it down!" Then list them one by one, and show them to me. lest I be beheaded, and I don't even know how many sins I have committed! ”

“…… My lord? The master bookkeeper looked at Mo Xiao and asked.

Mo Xiao's face was cold, he got up and went out first, and handed it over to the deputy judge to continue the interrogation.

As soon as he left, Deputy Interrogator Zheng Shijie interrogated again, "Pei Qin, Mo Heng."

! If you don't recruit from the truth, don't blame the official for serving the punishment! ”

"My lord! The grass people are really wronged! The matter of soy sauce poisoning, adults should go to the palace to investigate, since it is poisoned, there will inevitably be clues. Pei Qin saw that he was going to be punished, and seriously shouted injustice.

"Dare to distract the people! Don't confess yet, come on! Punish me! Zheng Shijie slapped the startled wood angrily and shouted loudly.

Immediately a tall man came in with a cowhide whip.

When the jailer came up, he pulled Mo Heng and Pei Qin and tied them to the shelf.

Mo Heng got up and pulled Pei Qin behind her, "She is a woman, she will scold the street and poison the palace when she breaks the sky, and the matter is big, and she can only be my mastermind, you can come to me." ”

Pei Qin looked up at the tall back in front of him, wanting to pull him away, but he couldn't shake it, "Mo Heng!" ”

Mo Heng didn't move at all.

"Hit!" Zheng Shijie ordered.

The tall man, with a hideous face, picked up the cowhide whip and threw it hard.

The sound of breaking the air sounded, and in the next moment, the white prison clothes on Mo Heng's body cracked open, and the skin and flesh were soaked in blood.

Syllable!

Smack!

Whip after whip, hard hit.

Pei Qin clenched his fists tightly and released the fist that was gripping his clothes.

Mo Heng's hand behind her grabbed her, didn't let her move, and endured it without saying a word.

Even if you commit a repeat offense, you can't be punished too severely, there is still a Shen Songming running over there, and Shen Bi is also on the fold.

The law of Dachu stipulates that the punishment for whipping is not more than 100.

After a full hundred lashes, Zheng Shijie waved his hand to stop and interrogated again, "Pei Qin, Mo Heng!" Can you plead guilty? ”

"Wronged." Mo Heng changed his tone and explained calmly.

Zheng Shijie stared angrily and turned to Pei Qin, who was protected by him.

She was almost blocked by Mo Heng's tall figure, and her exposed fist grabbed the clothes on his side, clenching tightly.

Zheng Shijie was about to give an order immediately to torture Pei Qin.

"She's pregnant!" Mo Heng said directly.

Zheng Shijie frowned.

"If he finds out the facts one day and clears the world, Lord Zheng, you have taken your life, but you still want to continue to be an official and live in the world!?" Mo Heng coldly threatened.

"Bold!" Zheng Shijie scolded angrily.

But he didn't say anything about torturing Pei Qin.

"Put them in prison and try them later!" Dropped a sentence and left.

Pei Qin helped Mo Heng back to the cell, looked at the blood-soaked whiplashes on his body, and closed his eyes.

Mo Heng pressed her head on her shoulders and hugged her, and whispered, "If I'm not mistaken, hold on for a few days, and we can go out."

。 ”

Pei Qin didn't want to stick to it for a day! He was originally short-lived, and if he did this every day, even after he went out, how long would he last for half of his remaining life!?

Sensing that she took the initiative to wrap her arms around him and wrap around him, the corners of Mo Heng's mouth raised slightly, "The wound hurts so much, lick it for me!" ”

"Shut up!" Pei Qin drank him in a muffled voice. It's a sullen, and it's not honest yet!

"Okay." Mo Heng smiled and leaned against the wall to close his eyes.

Outside Mo Xiao asked about the situation, so he wrote an excerpt and entered the palace to see the driver.

happened to meet Shen Bi who entered the palace, and the two went to the imperial study together to meet the emperor, but it was for the same thing.

Shen Songming has already found some clues, and the poison in the soy sauce cannot come from outside the palace. All soy sauce seals are made of oiled paper, wax oil, and the second seal, there will be differences. That Mo Xiao can give his son a poisonous blindness, and only half his life is expelled from the family tree, now that there is such an opportunity, how can he judge? Dali Temple is biased, and this case should be investigated by the Criminal Department and Dali Temple. Transfer Pei Qin and Mo Heng to the prison of the Criminal Department.

Mo Xiao disagreed, "This case was investigated and handled by Dali Temple from the beginning, and the lower officials have already obtained certain evidence. Why did Shen Ge Lao intervene and exonerate the criminals? ”

Shen Bi glanced at him, "Then dare to ask Lord Mo, Ling Lang Moheng, do you also think that he poisoned and murdered the emperor?" ”

This Shen Bi actually tried in vain to pull the Mo family into the water. Mo Heng stared at Shen Bi with a cautious face, "Mo Heng has been expelled from the family, and it has nothing to do with my Mo family!" Whether he poisoned or not, the lower officials will speak with evidence! ”

Shen Bi laughed, "This is just your words, Ling Lang was promoted to the first place in the township test at the age of thirteen, the young Xie Yuanlang has an unlimited future, why did the Mo family suddenly expel such a proud son of heaven from the family?" After only a few years, he masterminded poisoning the palace, and Lord Mo was afraid that he needed to avoid it! ”

Hearing that there was still Mo Heng in this, the emperor asked in a deep voice what was going on.

Mo Xiao replied, "The criminal Mo Heng was indeed a rebel son of the Weichen family before, just because he committed an unforgivable family felony, and the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, the clan expelled the rebel son from the family and did not publicize it. In this soy sauce poisoning case, Wechen will definitely judge fairly and justly to prove the world. ”

Shen Bi also played a good role and transferred the case to the Criminal Department for investigation, and Dali Temple avoided suspicion.

After more than a month of silence, the emperor also noticed that even if Pei Qin was a little extraordinary, it was impossible for a country woman to reach out to the palace, and the queen mother, him, and all the concubines were poisoned. It's not as simple as it seems at first. After thinking about it, "Then the Criminal Department and Dali Temple will jointly try this case!" The murderer has been apprehended, and I want you to solve the case as soon as possible! ”

Shen Bi hurriedly responded, "The minister will definitely find out the truth and reveal it to the world!" ”

The emperor sent a message and asked the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to jointly investigate the case, Shen Bisui is a scholar of Wenzheng Pavilion, but he is a scholar of the Criminal Department, and he can interrogate Pei Qin and Mo Heng openly and meddle in the case.

Shen Songming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the result, "Thanks to Mo Kui, who is a blind man's father!" "I immediately wanted to go to the prison to see, Mo Xiao almost killed Mo Heng's son before, then Zheng Shijie is not a fair person, Pei Qin and Mo Heng fell into their hands, maybe they have already used the punishment.

But Pei Qin and Mo Heng are death row prisoners and have been on death row, and they have even been refused to be interrogated by the Criminal Department.

The emperor has given an order, and the criminal department can intervene, but Dali Temple has already been arraigned, and there is no progress at all, and the evidence in front of him is only the drugged soy sauce and useless confessions, and other evidence needs to be collected and verified by their own abilities

Fang Liuming and Fang Fu were in a hurry outside, but they couldn't do anything at all, and they couldn't even find the people who sealed it.

Pei Qin and Mo Heng were all put on death row, Feng Wei was more anxious than them, he was secretly investigating everywhere and collecting evidence, I just hope that I can follow Shen Songming's clues and find out strong evidence soon, even if the real murderer can't be found, I have to help Gongzi and the young grandmother get rid of the crime first.

It was dark in the cell, and I could only judge whether it was a day or not based on the leftovers that were delivered.

"There is also shredded meat in the rice, and the food is really good!" Pei Qin held the bowl.

Mo Heng didn't want to eat the food here, not because he didn't like it, but because he had soft tendons in the meal, if he ate it again, he wouldn't be able to use his martial arts at all.

"Eat! Drink water even if you don't eat, in short, you can't avoid it! Why do you still make yourself hungry and thirsty? Pei Qin handed him the bowl.

Mo Heng took the bowl, put her fallen hair behind her ear, took the chopsticks and began to eat.

As soon as the two bowls of leftover rice were eaten, and a bowl of cold water was drunk, the arraignment outside came again. This time it was not only Mo Heng, but it was Pei Qin.

The cowhide whip hit his body hard, it was so hot that Pei Qin could hear the sound of his flesh blossoming, and laughed.

Zheng Shijie interrogated Mo Heng separately, "If you keep your mouth hard, you will only suffer more from the flesh and skin!" You should recruit as soon as possible, and you will be exempted from this punishment! ”

Pei Qin's suppressed muffled voice came from next door, and Mo Heng looked at Zheng Shijie with dark eyes, and his killing intent was surging.

After the beating, Zheng Shijie directly ordered, "Hold them separately!" ”

Pei Qin and Mo Heng were separated into two cells.

Mo Heng leaned against a corner and stretched out his hand towards the cell next door, "Qin'er..."

"Don't scream." Pei Qin sat against the wall, looked at his outstretched hand, and replied to him without strength.

"Give me your hand!" Mo Heng said resolutely.

"I haven't gotten tired enough!" Pei Qin said angrily, the two hands on her knees were hot, swollen and swollen, and she trembled slightly.

Mo Heng didn't speak for a while, then stretched out his hand and grabbed the railing of the cell across the wall, and his muscles were bruised.

Pei Qin turned her head and closed her eyes against the wall.

For three days in a row, Pei Qin was not injured except for his face, but also had injuries on his hands and body, and he was soon tortured without a human form.

To confess guilt is to destroy the door, and if you do not admit it, you will be punished.

Seeing that the arraignment began again, Mo Heng said coldly, "I plead guilty!" ”

When Zheng Shijie heard this, he immediately rushed to the cell of Dali Temple to interrogate Mo Heng.

Mo Heng confessed that he let the poison go, and identified several people who had poisoned the Internal Affairs Office and the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital, and asked Zheng Shijie to take the people.

Dali Temple finally interrogated important information, and immediately declared that he went to the Internal Affairs Office and Tai Hospital to get people.

The few people who were brought in shouted that they were wronged, and they all scolded Mo Heng for being falsely accused and framed.

Mo Heng's confession was reasonable, and the steward of the Internal Affairs Office could avoid everyone poisoning the soy sauce without being detected

。 The imperial physician of the Tai Hospital prepared poison and concealed the poisoning of the emperor and the nobles of the palace during the routine safe pulse.

All of a sudden, things have progressed like this, which is unexpected and reasonable.

Shen Bi heard Mo Heng's confession and came to Dali Temple in person to interrogate Mo Heng and Pei Qin.

When he finally saw the two of them, and as soon as he saw the situation, Shen Bi turned his head and asked, "Zheng Shijie!" This is what you call confession? There must be unjust cases under heavy punishments, and you usually try cases, but you are so tortured to extract confessions!? ”

Zheng Shijie hurriedly gave up his hand, "Shen Ge Lao! These two people are very hard-mouthed, and the lower officials only punished them slightly, but they did not pass. ”

Shen Bi immediately forcibly asked Mo Heng and Pei Qin to be escorted to the prison of the Criminal Department.

Mo Heng gasped slightly, looked at Pei Qin's hands that were almost formless, stretched out his hand, and didn't dare to touch them.

"It's just swollen, and it will disappear in two days!" Pei Qin said as if he was fine.

Mo Heng does not advocate cruel and vicious means to fight for power, but now someone has put his hand on Qin'er......

As soon as the two of them moved to the prison of the Criminal Department, Shen Songming immediately came over, "Pei Qin!?" They're torturing you! Looking at her shocking hands in anger, the dense whiplash wounds on her body, she glared at Mo Heng, and gritted her teeth fiercely, "This is your ability!?" Pointing to Pei Qin's injury. The agency has snatched people out of his hands, but let her bear this as a woman!?

Mo Heng's face was cold and calm, his eyes were dark and bottomless, and he pursed his lips, "Have you taken the medicine?" ”

"That's it! Is there any medicine? Pei Qin's hands were numb with pain.

Seeing that her lips were bloodless and her face was pale, it had only been a few days, and she had been tortured like this, Shen Songming choked up, and hurriedly took out the medicine and clean clothes he brought.

Mo Heng snatched the ointment and the medicine bottle, quickly identified it, pulled Pei Qin to sit down, and carefully smeared the medicine on her hands.

Shen Songming looked at her hand, carried the hot water to the cell door, and asked the two of them to take medicine and change their clothes first, and he went to the side to avoid it first.

Mo Heng's movements were light, but his speed was very fast, he drugged Pei Qin, and blocked her from changing into clean clothes.

Shen Songming turned around again, and saw that Mo Heng hadn't taken the medicine yet, he looked at him coldly and disdainfully, and told Pei Qin about the clues he had found and the current situation, "My uncle has been on the fold, this case will be handed over to the Criminal Department for trial, you stay here for the time being, I will rescue you as soon as possible." ”

Pei Qin nodded.

"You don't have to say thank you to me, you protect yourself first." Shen Songming arranged everything to say, and then hurriedly went out again to continue the investigation.

Pei Qin also drugged Mo Heng and changed into clean clothes.

Mo Heng pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, afraid that it would hurt her.

Soon Shen Bi came over for interrogation, asked about the situation, and asked the two to be temporarily imprisoned and continue to investigate.

Someone must have done this poison, but the person who poisoned it, and the person behind it, didn't leave any evidence at all, which really made Shen Bi feel a little helpless.

At this moment, a person with a noble status came to the prison of the Criminal Department, King Heqing.

Mo Heng's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he finally appeared.
