Chapter 70: Extorting Confessions by Torture
Zhu Di couldn't have imagined that Ma Sanbao's casual words would really work, there were eight bandits and a dead and fallen corpse in front of him who were escorted to him, and his guards also lost three, don't look at the three guards are not much, they are also human lives, Zhu Di is not a careless person who cares about human life, and his heart is full of regret for the loss of his guards.
Zhu Di stared at these big men for a long time, and was able to invade the courtyard of his mansion, which made Zhu Di a little frightened, he knew that he was negligent in the management of the treasury, and took it for granted, he thought that no one would fight his own treasury with his own identity, but he forgot that people at the end of the road would not care about the identity of the fourth highness Zhu Di.
"I didn't expect you to be so powerful, even they can't catch you!" Zhu Di couldn't help but admire, he killed three guards, and Ma Sanbao escaped the hands of bandits, so Zhu Di couldn't help but be a little impressed, he thought that Ma Sanbao was just a literati and would go through the Chamber of Commerce military, but he didn't expect that he would have the ability to do it without relying on AK, if Zhu Di was at Ma Sanbao's age, he might be put down by Sanxia.
"Average, nothing." Ma Sanbao said, if it weren't for his body restricting his development, he could take down a few bandits in front of him without weapons, the bandits were not enough in his Ma Sanbao's opinion, he was a professionally trained navy in his previous life, and he still cared about untrained bandits?
"Go and borrow some interrogation tools from the Criminal Department, I want this group of bandits to walk around without food!" Ma Sanbao said that these bandits had previously made a lot of nonsense to take down themselves and Zhu Di, and this group of bandits had previously revealed that they were entrusted by others, and it was obvious that someone was behind them to organize and command, but he wanted to know who the big man behind this group of bandits was.
In the middle of the night, there was a terrible scream from Zhu Di's mansion, if someone passed by, he might think that the mansion of the Fourth Highness was killing pigs.
Blood dripped down the torture equipment and fell to the ground, the eyes of this group of death row prisoners widened, under the command of Ma Sanbao, the methods of the guards were too cruel, in the prison, they had never been treated like this, and the wounds all over their bodies were invaded by the cold wind and made them gasp.
Ma Sanbao doesn't like torture, but unfortunately the people in front of him are all death row prisoners, with many lives, for such scum, Ma Sanbao doesn't have too much mercy, he thinks that he has a clear conscience when interrogating these people, and looks indifferently at the screaming death row inmates in front of him, waiting for the death row inmates to give him a satisfactory reply.
"Young master, one is dead." Suddenly, the guard spoke, Ma Sanbao hurriedly stepped forward to check, the death row prisoner in front of him bit his tongue and committed suicide, he didn't want to reveal the truth in his heart at all, a death row prisoner died, Ma Sanbao was a little helpless, he was still waiting to extract the information he wanted from the mouths of these people, but he didn't expect this person to be so bold and look down on life and death.
An accomplice died, and the other death row inmates still didn't feel much, after all, they didn't have a deep friendship, but there were still some death row inmates whose hearts were shaken, after all, they were not professional killers, if it weren't for the fact that His Royal Highness liberated their freedom and gave them the opportunity to sell their lives, they would have preferred to live the life they longed for.
"You have worked hard, let's rest first, as for them, these people can't die, in order to prevent the incident of biting their tongues and committing suicide again, extract their teeth!" Ma Sanbao opened his mouth and said that he was really afraid of these death row prisoners, and he had to make this decision in order to keep the secret in his heart and die to make his will clear, in order to prevent the death row prisoners from thinking of suicide again.
The process of tooth extraction was miserable, Ma Sanbao did not prepare anesthetic for those death row inmates, the primitive technology made the death row inmates painful, they felt the teeth that had accompanied them for many years leaving their mouths, and the smell of blood and pain in their mouths made them almost faint.

"Peking is not a place for us, I have a hunch that those people will definitely sell us, and we have to leave Beiping overnight! This is the customs clearance document prepared by General Lan, let's go! In the middle of the night, Hu Pengju suddenly woke up and woke up the other death row inmates.
"Young Master Hu, where are we going?" The awakened death row inmates patted their heads, and the death row inmates who fell into the hands of Ma Sanbao knew their whereabouts, and in Beiping City, as long as they stayed for a long time, the more dangerous they became, and the easier it was for Ma Sanbao's people to find out.
"Let's go to join the army, and in the army, they won't do whatever they want!" Hu Pengju said that he had Lan Yu as a temporary backer, so it was naturally not a big problem to join the army, but he was very worried that Lan Yu would thoroughly investigate the missing soldier, after all, he killed the other party by himself.
At this time, although Hu Pengju was crazy, he still kept a little calm, he was much more stable than the previous Nanjing City period, since Hu Weiyong died, Hu Pengju's whole person has undergone earth-shaking changes.
"Joining the army? Just us, can it really work? The death row inmates nervously said that their background cannot be investigated, and once they are strictly investigated by the army, they may not return to prison again, unless they have a backer in the army, and before they are imprisoned, they are just ordinary people, where do they come from?
"Worried about what? With me, if I am still in Beiping City, only the possibility of imprisonment, and I will have a chance to turn the tables with me to join the army, and we will be able to sit back and relax when we take refuge under the command of General Lan Yu! Hu Pengju opened his mouth and said, he packed his luggage, and didn't let the other death row prisoners talk nonsense, "If you want to go, you can go together, if you don't leave, stay in Beiping, and don't say that you have met me!" ”
Hu Pengju said so, but his killing intent has been decided, if this group of people does not go with him, he will definitely use a fire gun to kill them, after all, he even knows where he is going, this is not extinguished, in case Ma Sanbao brings someone to the door, he is really unable to escape, even if there is a blue jade cover, the blue jade will not go against the royal family, sooner or later he will hand himself over.
"This? Young Master Hu should take us with him, no matter how hard and tiring the days of the army are, it is still freedom, and I don't want to go back to prison. The death row prisoners thought for a moment, the three of them looked at each other, and finally agreed to Hu Pengju's invitation, recalling the days in the prison, it was never daylight, they couldn't see the light, and the food was tasteless, they didn't want to go back to that small place, and they had to be afraid of it, maybe they would fall to the ground when they would, after all, they were all repeat offenders, and they might be dragged out and beheaded at any time.
Coming and going, although the army has a strict management system, at least there is a guarantee of freedom, don't look at the imminent war in the Ming Dynasty, soldiers like them with backers will not be sent to the front line to die, which is also the reason why the death row prisoners agreed to Hu Pengju's invitation.
The sky was bright, Hu Pengju left his courtyard with his luggage, standing at the gate of Beiping, he looked back at the city of Beiping, looked in the direction of Zhu Di's mansion, he gritted his teeth, hated himself for not being able to complete his revenge in Beiping, failed to complete his long-cherished wish, and left Beiping City with the customs clearance documents.
...........................................
At dawn, Ma Sanbao broke into the room used for interrogation, the smell of blood, sweat and excrement mixed with a stench worse than the pigsty, Ma Sanbao looked at the death row inmates who were tied hands and feet, and walked into the room expressionlessly.
"Don't you recruit yet? If anyone is recruited, I will send someone to fill his teeth, or even let him return to his hometown, if he is not recruited, the consequence will be death. Ma Sanbao said coldly, he has no good impression of death row prisoners, as early as the Nanjing City period, this group of people was about to be beheaded felons, and the reason why they agreed to let them return to their hometowns was also because they would not do whatever they wanted by the side of their families.
"Young Master Ma, Fourth Highness, I'll recruit, can't I recruit?" Seeing that most of his accomplices were tortured and unconscious, a death row inmate's spirit was almost broken, and finally he couldn't help but reveal the secret of his heart, his eyes were scattered, he thought of his wife and children, thought of his elderly mother, and recalled the peaceful days before he was imprisoned, he collapsed.
Ma Sanbao looked at the collapsed death row inmate with interest, looking forward to the death row inmate's answer. There were tears in the corners of the eyes of the death row prisoner, he really couldn't stand Ma Sanbao's torture, most of his teeth were knocked out, and even his body was full of trauma, when he was in prison, he had never been tortured like this, he really couldn't bear Ma Sanbao's torture to extract a confession.
The death row prisoner opened his mouth, and blood dripped all the way down the corners of his mouth, "I confess, it was Young Master Hu who asked us to rob the silver treasury, and only by robbing the silver treasury can we make a fortune!" He forced us to do everything, he threatened us with firearms, and I had to break into the mansion of the Fourth Highness as a last resort. ”
"Young Master Hu? Is it Hu Pengju? His order to you isn't just as simple as robbing the vault, is it? Is there still an order to get rid of me and the Four Highnesses? Ma Sanbao said, he didn't move the execution, the previous executions were all guards and other subordinates, he just played the role of guidance, if you really want him to do it, he is still a little unable to do it.
"It's Young Master Hu, he has ordered me to wait if he finds His Royal Highness and Young Master Ma and get rid of them together, I have to do it, Young Master, I know Hu Pengju's residence, can you promise me, what you said before must be done to help me fill my teeth and let me return to my hometown!" I miss my family. The death row inmate said, crying, almost breaking down, and he couldn't stand the other unconscious accomplices.
"Everything depends on your performance, Fourth Highness, he said that he can take us to Hu Pengju, what do you think?" Ma Sanbao suddenly shouted outside the house, Zhu Di stood outside the door, reluctant to enter, this room was just a warehouse, and the sky-high smell after becoming a temporary interrogation room made him sigh, he didn't dare to enter, he could only stand at the door, waiting for the results of Ma Sanbao's interrogation.
"If you can really catch Hu Pengju, why not let him go? As long as what he says is true, we let it go. Zhu Di spoke, he just entered the door and hurriedly waved his hand, he really couldn't stand the smell of the house, and immediately exited the house, "Come on, put this person down, let's follow what he said, go to Hu Pengju's house to see if what he said is true!" ”
