Chapter 387: The Dead Don't Bite
If he didn't want Gongsun Jian to make trouble afterwards, then he had to answer whatever Gongsun Jian asked, otherwise today's matter would be over, and they would be finished.
Nodding silently, then Gongsun Jian looked at Chen Si again, smiled slightly and asked, "Do you have anything to say?" ”
"My lord, I just went there a lot yesterday because I had a stomach problem. Moreover, this toilet has nothing to do with stealing, right? Chen Si is naturally a dead duck, and he doesn't dare to admit it.
After all, this jade pendant was given by the emperor himself, which is much more serious than ordinary cases, and of course, the good thing is that it is also worth more than ordinary objects.
Therefore, if you want Chen Si to admit that he stole the jade pendant, it is simply impossible.
With a smile, Gongsun Jian shook his head.
Although Chen Si's words sounded seamless, there was still a breakthrough point in it, so with a wave of his hand, he let Gu Qing behind him come over.
"Brother Gu, go to the outside medical hall and invite a doctor to come, let's see if this Chen Si is really sick or fakely sick."
As he spoke, Gongsun Jian looked at Chen Si with disdain.
As far as his careful thinking is concerned, if he wants to block Gongsun Jian, it is simply impossible.
Didn't you say you were sick and had a tummy? Then let the doctor take a look.
Saying it like this can also make Gongsun Jian get a good reputation, right?
Hearing Gongsun Jian's words about arranging Gu Qing, Chen Si's face on the other side changed, but he immediately recovered.
Hurriedly spoke: "My lord, now that the little one's condition has begun to improve, there is no need to trouble you to call the doctor." ”
As soon as he said this, the people in the place were instantly shocked.
After all, he is not stupid, he understands very well what Chen Si is hiding, and for a while, he can guess that Chen Si is the thief.
Chen Qiang on the side couldn't help the anger in his heart, and directly stood up and pointed at Chen Si and shouted, "Where did you put the master's jade pendant?" Hand it over quickly, or you will be worse off than dead. ”
Perhaps because of his impatience, Chen Qiang, who has always been good-tempered, also threatened Chen Si.
Regarding Chen Qiang's threat, Gongsun Jian secretly shook his head in his heart.
After all, even threats are useless now, and even because of the fear of consequences, Chen Si is likely to say nothing.
Sure enough, hearing Chen Qiang's threat, Chen Si over there looked panicked, and finally gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.
Chen Qiang, who was a little dumbfounded, hurriedly looked at Gongsun Jian's side, after all, it was basically determined that Chen Si was a thief at this time, but the whereabouts of Yu Pei had to be asked.
For Chen Si, who is a dead duck with a hard mouth, Gongsun Jian naturally has a way to make him speak.
After all, now that Chen Si's signs have shown that he is a thief, then Gongsun Jian has nothing to scruple about.
The thief has already determined, isn't it easy for the box to make him speak?
He sneered a few times, and then Gongsun Jian looked at the deacons who served as officials.
"Now that the criminal has confessed, let him speak, is it time to torture?" Gongsun Jian smiled and asked a few deacons.
When the deacons heard Gongsun Jian's words, they were stunned at first, but then they hurriedly responded one after another.
"My lord is right, since the criminal has confessed, of course he will be tortured, let him know the majesty of my Great Zhou law."
"Yes, not punishing me is not enough to raise the majesty of my Great Zhou."
"My lord, I want to teach this ignorant man a lesson myself."
At this time, not only did some people agree with Gongsun Jian's words, but even the deacon took the initiative to ask Ying to torture Chen Si.
Chen Si's legs were so frightened that he almost couldn't stand steadily.
He wanted to find someone to help, but he was stunned to find that the people around him had already left him.
Chen Si, who was afraid in his heart, wanted to escape, but unfortunately his legs were like lead, and when he just came up with this idea, several deacons who had been a little impatient for a long time hurriedly ran to suppress him.
"My lord, will this Chen Si not open his mouth until he dies?" Chen Qiang, the housekeeper beside him, asked his own question with some concern.
Smiling slightly, Gongsun Jian gave him a reassuring look, and then said: "Steward Chen, the people in our criminal department are all professional, and they will definitely make Chen Si speak." ”
Seeing that this was in the county guard's mansion, there were no torture instruments, so Gongsun Jian asked apologetically: "Steward Chen, can I bring this Chen Si back to the criminal department for interrogation?" After all, there are no useful instruments of torture here. ”
"This..."Chen Qiang hesitated.
After all, the county guard lost the jade pendant given by the emperor, and the impact on the county guard Chen Zhi was not good. Therefore, Chen Qiang, as a housekeeper, is a little worried about his master.
However, if Gongsun Jian was not allowed to bring Chen Si back to the Criminal Division for punishment, then Chen Si would definitely not speak.
Therefore, the current Chen Qiang was in a dilemma for a while and seemed very hesitant.
Gongsun Jian naturally understood what Chen Qiang was hesitating about, so he hurriedly promised: "Steward Chen, don't worry, I will arrange this matter." ”
Hearing this, Chen Qiang also seemed to have a decision, gritted his teeth and said, "Since this is the case, then I will believe in you, Lord Gongsun." ”
Smiling and nodding, Gongsun Jian waved his hand and asked Chen Si to leave the county guard mansion.
To be honest, Gongsun Jian was very satisfied with solving the case so easily today.
After all, it didn't take long for the political performance point to increase, and if the case handling in the future is this kind of efficiency, I believe it won't be long before he can go to the capital to sit down.
Of course, Gongsun Jian's so-called sitting does not mean that he wants to sit on the golden throne. After all, that position was indeed in great danger to his life, and he didn't dare to sit on it if he gave it to him.
He sat down and said that if he had enough political points, he could go to the capital to take up his post and hang out by the way.
Chen Si, who was pressed by a few deacons, seemed to think a little too much, thinking that as long as he didn't speak, then Gongsun Jian would have nothing to do with him, so when he walked to the criminal department, he had always been quite honest.
However, people are still afraid after all.
When Chen Si was pressed by several deacons to walk into the door of the criminal office, he finally moved.
writhing his body wantonly, and his mouth kept screaming: "I'm not guilty, I'm not guilty." Gongsun Jian, I'm going to the state to sue you. ”
Gongsun Jian, who was walking in front, heard this and stopped.
Just when Chen Si thought that Gongsun Jian was scared, he saw Gongsun Jian there and said with a sneer: "As long as you walk into the torture room, whether you are guilty or not, there is only one result in the end." ”
"What result?" Chen Si asked a little stupidly.
"Hehe, what's the result?" Gongsun Jian asked with a sneer, and then said with a straight face: "Of course, it was thrown out by someone with bruises all over his body." ”
"I don't want it, I don't want it." Chen Si, who was full of heart and gall, began to struggle hard as soon as Gongsun Jian finished speaking.
Seeing this, Gongsun Jian just shook his head and didn't say anything.
After all, what could be better than a torture?
As long as Chen Si eats a torture instrument, he will say whatever he asks.
Although the process will be very uncomfortable, Gongsun Jian has no feelings.
After all, it wasn't him who was uncomfortable, but Chen Si, a thief.
It can only be blamed for Chen Si's lack of long-sightedness, and he actually stole something from the emperor's palace from the county guard's mansion.
If what he stole was just an ordinary object, then maybe the county guard was afraid of losing face, so he would not pursue it directly.
But the things rewarded by the emperor are different, which is not only about face, but also about Chen Zhi's career.
Although there were several official officials in the criminal department, they were a little surprised to see several deacons personally pressing a prisoner to the torture room.
But everyone pretended not to see it, after all, since the deacons did not ask them to help, there must have been their intentions.
Besides, Gongsun Jian, the main officer, actually went to the torture room, which can very well explain that things are not ordinary.
Therefore, in order not to be implicated in anything, they just work as usual.
As for Chen Si's shouting of all his might, although it was a little harsh, it still did not affect their actions.
For the cleverness of his subordinates, Gongsun Jian was very satisfied.
Entering the torture room and seeing that Chen Si was tied to the pillar, Gongsun Jian smiled slightly and looked at Wei Peng.
"Deacon Wei, then you will do it for you." Gongsun Jian said softly.
"Yes, sir." Wei Peng, who received the order, was a little pleased.
Although the process of the execution is a bit bloody, it is nothing compared to Gongsun Jian's attention.
Therefore, he hurriedly pulled out a pair of torture instruments from both sides, and came to Chen Si with a smile on his face.
"Chen Si, hurry up and recruit it, otherwise the taste of torture will not be pleasant!"
What Wei Peng said was naturally nonsense, even if Chen Sizhao made four moves at this time, he would definitely still be punished.
The reason why he wants to say this nonsense is because Gongsun Jian is here, and he wants Gongsun Jian to understand that he is not a cruel and bloody person.
Chen Si, who was tied, naturally didn't know the truth of Wei Peng's words, and he was already frightened, so he hurriedly shouted at Gongsun Jian with a hint of crying: "My lord, I recruited, I recruited them all." ”
It's a pity that he said this too late after all, because Wei Peng had already been executed, so before he finished speaking, he was instantly pressed down by severe pain.
Although Gongsun Jian heard Chen Si's plea for mercy, he pretended not to hear it.
Because the other party is a slippery person, the best way is to let him suffer well.
Wei Peng, who was being tortured, saw that Gongsun Jian did not move, and showed a cruel smile that only Chen Si could see.
The execution was carried out again.
Chen Si's tragic shout instantly broke through the roof, causing passers-by outside the criminal department to look sideways.
It's a pity that the torture room is inside the yamen, and they can only see the empty yamen, and they don't know what happened inside.
After the half-pillar incense, Wei Peng was also afraid that Chen Si would not be able to stand it, so he also took advantage of the situation to accept the torture tools.
However, in order to scare him and make Chen Si, who was exhausted and in a trance, feel a little more nervous, after putting away the torture equipment, Wei Peng saluted Gongsun Jian.
Respectfully asked, "My lord, do you want to change the torture instrument?" ”
As he spoke, Wei Peng also glanced at Chen Si.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Chen Si over there instantly came to his senses, and hurriedly roared: "Adult, adult, the small one has been recruited, it has really been recruited." ”
He was already scared by Wei Peng!
As for the idea of not saying anything about killing him before, Chen Si at this time was long gone.
After all, before he was tortured, he didn't know what it was like to be tortured.
But after being tortured, he no longer wanted this taste to fill his body.
Gongsun Jian, who was already bored sitting there, glanced at him lightly, and asked with a very indifferent look: "Are you sure you want to recruit?" ”
"Sure, sure, the villain will never dare to hide it this time." Chen Si over there, seeing Gongsun Jian say this, quickly nodded fiercely like a chicken pecking rice.
"In that case." Gongsun Jian looked at Chen Guangrong beside him and said to him, "Deacon Chen, prepare to record." ”
"Yes, sir." Chen Guangrong hurriedly received the order happily.
After all, Gongsun Jian asked Wei Peng to be tortured just now, making him mistakenly think that he had fallen out of favor?
Therefore, when he saw Gongsun Jian let him record his confession, he was instantly happy.
Even, he despised Wei Peng in his heart.
Wei Peng can also do hard work, like him, just use a pen.
Thinking of this, Chen Guangrong almost laughed out loud with joy.
However, after all, he was afraid that Gongsun Jian was still by his side, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, but just showed a weird smile.
