Chapter 297: The Third Shift of the Imperial Prison (II).
Liu Shouyou took a piece of paper from the lieutenant's hand, shook it in the air, and said in a cold voice: "Do you need this official to read it to you?" ”
Liu Weining stalked his neck and said: "Your Majesty came up with this topic to ask us to pinpoint the disadvantages of the times, and the article written by Liu is also closely related to this will, what is the fault?" ”
Liu Shou said in his heart, are you pretending to be confused or are you really confused? The emperor is doing it for the world to see, you really can't afford to hold yourself a few pounds and a few taels?
He read the article and questioned Liu Weining about a few of them.
Liu Weining has been silent and does not answer.
"Why don't you say it, isn't Fang Cai quite able to say it?"
Liu Shouyou looked at Liu Weining playfully.
As for how to deal with Liu Weining, Liu Shouyou really didn't think about it.
The Son of Heaven only ordered Jinyiwei to arrest Liu Weining, but did not say what to do next.
Of course, the people who are usually thrown into prison are the people whom the emperor hates so much, and there is nothing wrong with using torture.
But this time there is something special about it, because the offender is not an official but a scholar.
That's a little different.
It stands to reason that if it is not an official body, it should be tried by the Shuntian Mansion. Even if the Shuntian Mansion does not participate in the trial, the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department should be allowed to be tried.
Jin Yiwei's intervention is indeed a bit exaggerated.
But this is the decree of the Son of Heaven, and Liu Shouyou can only follow it.
But following the rules doesn't mean he doesn't care about his reputation.
Although Jin Yiwei's reputation has never been very good, Liu Shou's personal reputation is not bad.
If Liu Weining is tortured in the edict prison, he will inevitably be spit on by some scholars. Although it doesn't hurt or itch, it is nauseous in the end.
What's more, Liu Shouyou heard that one of Liu Weining's fellow villagers had gathered a lot of people to write a joint letter, asking the Son of Heaven to pardon Liu Weining.
It's too stupid to stand up and carry the black pot at this time.
For Liu Shouyou, the best way now is to ask Liu Weining to bow his head and confess without a big punishment.
As long as Liu Weining pleads guilty, everything will be easy.
Once the Son of Heaven has steps, there is no need to worry about this matter anymore. Second, those who read the book were also gagged and did not dare to shout anymore.
So the key to everything is to get Liu Weining to confess.
But this scholar is like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, and it seems not easy to get him to bow his head and confess his sins.
In this regard, Liu Shouyou did not hesitate to use some means.
"Come on, carry him to the torture bed and tie him up, and help him loosen his skin."
Liu Shou had an order, and the captain of the brocade guard on both sides of the division immediately stepped forward and set up Liu Weining and walked towards the iron bed.
Liu Weining was lifted up by two strong men like a chicken, only to feel that his legs and stomach were weak, and he was almost dragged away.
Seeing this scene, Liu Shouyou was even more confident.
It's another strong outsider. This has not yet been "tortured", and it has become like this.
After a while, he will not admit his guilt obediently?
As soon as he thought of this, Liu Shouyou felt in a good mood, and walked forward with his hands behind his back.
Soon Liu Weining was taken to a relatively closed room.
The light in the room is not too dark, but it always gives people a sense of gloom.
Liu Weining looked around and found that this was a torture chamber. There are all kinds of torture beds and racks in the torture room. On the walls hung a leather whip, as well as many hooks and claws whose names he could not name.
The two Jinyi Guard captains couldn't help but strip Liu Weining naked.
Liu Weining stood there naked, ashamed, and simply closed his eyes.
Before he could remorse, he felt his knees go limp, and he fell to his knees on the torture bed.
The two Jinyi guard captains rushed forward and tied Liu Weining tightly to the torture bed in three or two strokes.
"Liu Weining, this official will give you another chance, if you bow down and confess your guilt at this moment, you can also avoid the pain of flesh and skin."
Liu Weining was lying naked on the iron bed at the moment, his hands and feet were tied tightly, and he was already trembling.
But he said stubbornly: "The student is not guilty." ”
Liu Shouyou sneered in his heart and said: Have you ever played with me?
With that, he glanced at a school captain.
The lieutenant walked up to Liu Shouyou, and Liu Shouyou whispered to him. After the order, the lieutenant laughed and said, "Liu Xianggong is afraid that this is the first time to come to our prison, I haven't received this punishment before, right?" Let someone serve you well. ”
Liu Weining is just a scholar, how can he know about the torture in Jinyiwei.
It's just that he has also heard of the horror of the edict, and when he thinks that he is going to be punished, tears flow out of his eyes.
Crash!
A basin of cold water was poured on Liu Weining's back.
Liu Weining was excited, and his muscles subconsciously spasmed.
But he was tied so tightly that it was impossible to break free from the shackles no matter what.
"This shaving is a unique skill within our Jinyiwei, and Liu Xianggong is blessed this time."
The captain of the brocade guard walked up to Liu Weining with an iron weapon in his hand and said with a smile: "First pour water on the prisoner's back to loosen the skin, and then use this iron brush to brush it on the back." Tsk, the skin on this back is easily brushed off. ”
Although Liu Weining only glanced up, he could see the iron brush clearly.
This is very different from ordinary brushes, there are rows of dense small hooks on it, if you scrape on the skin, it will definitely make a bloody hole.
Liu Weining's face turned pale and he bit his lip tightly.
"Liu Xianggong, where do you want to start?"
Seeing that Liu Weining was silent, the brocade guard laughed dryly twice and walked behind Liu Weining.
Are you going to get started?
Liu Weining regretted it at the moment.
Why did he write that satirical article about the Son of Heaven in the first place?
Originally, the fame of Jinshi was at his fingertips, but now it is good that not only has he lost his fame, but even his life has to be buried in this black prison.
If you give it a good time, you will still be tortured and humiliated like this, life is better than death!
He thought that he had been stripped naked and tied up here, and he felt that Sven was sweeping the floor and even wanted to bite his tongue and kill himself.
But the instinct to survive made him give up on this idea.
Liu Shouyou glanced at the lieutenant again, and the lieutenant nodded, took an iron scraper from his colleague's hand and nodded it at Liu Weining's waist.
Liu Weining almost fainted to death.
The lieutenant sneered and said, "Liu Xianggong, a certain family is about to start." ”
He had enough strength to start scraping on Liu Weining's back.
It's just that in his hand is just an iron scraper for scraping, and the corners are blunt, so what can he do if he has enough strength?
Liu Weining's back was just an extra red mark, and there was no change other than that.
If Liu Weining had a little knowledge, he should know that Jin Yiwei poured hot water on his back when he scraped his skin. But how could he have such insight?
And Liu Weining had been given enough psychological hints before, and the shape of the iron scraper and the iron brush were similar, Liu Weining broke down emotionally under great fear, and cried out.
