In the study in the backyard of the county government, the county magistrate Zhang Bin is being served by two little beauties splashing ink, chanting poems and practicing calligraphy, and the picture is extremely warm.

In the prison in the front yard of the county government, Xu Hui's confidant Zhao Ergou was also being served by two people, but the picture was not very beautiful.

Because it wasn't a beautiful woman who served him, but two fierce men, to be precise, two fierce and vicious jailers!

Cao Zhengliang was taking two jailers to torture him, what tiger chair and chili water were not available in the Ming Dynasty at this time, but even with simple whips, boards, bamboo skewers and even chicken feathers, experienced jailers could play a lot of tricks.

Xu Hui has an internal response in the county government, Zhao Mu also has an internal response in the county government, Xu Hui's internal response is the county Cheng Hujiang, and Zhao Mu's internal response is the classic history Cao Zhengliang, as for another official in the county office, Huang Peiwen, he is just a master, which is equivalent to Zhang Bin's secretary, but no one has to beat him, he is basically half of Zhang Bin's cronies.

Cao Zhengliang was entrusted by Zhao Mu to torture Zhao Ergou and force him to confess the hurtful things Xu Hui had done before.

Zhao Ergou was still relatively tough at first, because he believed that with Xu Hui's backstage, these people didn't dare to do anything to Xu Hui.

However, later he slowly understood that people really didn't dare to do anything to Xu Hui, but he wasn't Xu Hui, let him, people didn't have any scruples at all!

This time, Zhao Ergou was really "cool", because these two jailers were too good at "serving" people.

At first, they were still very civilized, they just tied Zhao Ergou's hands and feet, took off his shoes, and massaged the soles of his feet with chicken feathers.

However, just this time, Zhao Ergou, who was "waiting", almost went to the sky.

He was made to death, tears came out of his eyes, and his stomach cramped with laughter, but he didn't have a trick.

This wave, he can be regarded as surviving.

Cao Zhengliang was not in a hurry, he was sitting there drinking tea leisurely, and when he saw Zhao Ergou stiff, he couldn't help admiring: "Zhao Ergou, I can't see it, you are still a loyal dog!" ”

Zhao Ergou laughed so much that his head almost cramped, and he threatened indiscriminately: "Lord Cao, you should know who is behind our master, if you dare to torture me, aren't you afraid of being investigated from above?" ”

When Cao Zhengliang heard this, he nodded seriously and said, "Well, I know who is behind your master, I don't dare to do anything to your master." “

When Zhao Ergou heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he thought that Cao Zhengliang was already scared and didn't dare to torture him anymore.

However, immediately after, Cao Zhengliang said to the two jailers: "The chicken feathers don't seem to work, change the bamboo sticks for him." ”

When the two jailers heard this, they smiled, and each took out a bamboo stick from their bodies like a trick.

The bamboo skewers they took out were about the same thickness as the skewers used for barbecue in later generations, but they were all cut from the strongest part of the bamboo skin, and the front was sharpened and thin.

This guy is a little scary, Zhao Ergou was so frightened that his face changed, he could bear it just by tickling him, after all, there would be no wounds, and it would be over if he survived, this slender bamboo stick was different, it was terrible to look at!

Zhao Ergou shouted in panic: "What do you want to do, aren't you afraid of being investigated from above if you use lynching indiscriminately!" ”

When Cao Zhengliang heard this, he just pursed his lips, and he didn't bother to say anything, can such a little gadget be called lynching?

The more powerful ones are still to come, see how long you kid can survive!

The two jailers ignored him, but one grabbed one of his fingers and slowly inserted a bamboo stick into his fingernail.

"Ahh , Zhao Ergou couldn't help screaming, ten fingers connected to the heart, inserting bamboo sticks into the nails, it's strange that it doesn't hurt.

After a while, a bamboo stick was inserted, and Zhao Ergou was already sweating profusely.

Seeing him like this, Cao Zhengliang couldn't help but mock: "Save some effort, this is just the beginning, there are still toes after the fingers are inserted, right, you can insert two after one is inserted, don't worry, save some strength, howl slowly." ”

The two jailers didn't say anything, but slowly grabbed his second finger and prepared to insert it again.

Zhao Ergou finally collapsed, and while struggling desperately, he shouted: "Don't insert, don't insert, I'll move, I'll move." ”

When Cao Zhengliang heard this, he shook his head and sighed: "Why do you say you are doing this, we are not asking you what bad things you have done, besides, we will not treat Xu Yuanwai as a whole, what are you doing, don't you find guilt?" ”

Zhao Ergou thought about it, yes, the bad things are basically done by Xu Hui, he will only beat people a few times at most, even if he recruits them all, he will be fine, he believes that with Xu Hui's background, there will be nothing.

So he poured beans into the bamboo tube, leaving no one, and shook out how Xu Hui got the eight concubines.

got the confession, Zhang Bin slapped the table angrily, Xu Hui is not a thing, he is simply a beast.

However, a confession alone cannot cure Xu Hui's crime, and without other witnesses and physical evidence, this thing is just a piece of waste paper.

If you want to convict people based on confessions alone, it will be chaotic, after all, confessions, if you want to forge them, it is very simple.

Of course, Zhang Bin didn't want to cure Xu Hui's crimes, his goal was to save the entire Ming Dynasty, if he ruined his future in order to punish such a scumbag, it would be worth the loss.

In the evening, he ordered a table of wine and food in the restaurant, sent it to the prison, and drank wine with Xu Hui.

Xu Hui wasn't very scared at this time, because Zhang Bin's attitude was already obvious, and he was still very scruple about his cousin.

In his opinion, as long as Zhang Bin didn't dare to touch him, no matter how small actions Zhao Mu played, it would be useless.

At the beginning, he was still very happy, and after a few glasses of wine, Zhang Bin suddenly took out a stack of confessions from his arms and handed them to him, sighing: "Alas, Xu Yuanwai, this is a bit troublesome, today Lord Dian Shi Cao handed this over to the official, saying that he wanted to report it." ”

Although Xu Hui was not admitted to Xiucai with real skills, he still read some books, and when he heard Zhang Bin say this, he quickly took the confession and looked at it carefully.

He knew that this classic history was Zhao Mu's person, but he didn't expect this guy to dare to run and torture Zhao Ergou!

Seeing Zhao Ergou's confession, a cold sweat slowly broke out on Xu Hui's forehead, not to say what others would do to him, just say that he was his cousin, if his cousin knew that he was such a thing, would he pull down his face to save him?

After reading the testimony, he asked a little panicked: "Lord County Commander, what does Zhao Mu mean by this?" ”

Zhang Bin pretended to be embarrassed and nodded: "He wants the more than 2,000 acres of land." ”

Needless to say, as long as Xu Hui is not a stupid pig, he should be able to understand, if this land is not sold to Zhao Mu, this confession will be stabbed.

Xu Hui thought about it for a while, and could only nod helplessly, leaving Qingshan not afraid of no firewood, if this matter was stabbed up, Xu Dahua's face would be lost by him.

If you can't buy more than 2,000 acres of land, it's just a little less income, if you lose Xu Dahua's backer, then he will be finished, and when things come to this point, you can only settle things first.
