Chapter 558: Extorting a confession by torture
It's not been a few days since the imperial examination, but now there has been a case of fraud in the imperial examination.
This was a big test for Qin Tian.
The time of the imperial examination cannot be postponed any longer, and many scholars and scholars have already complained because of repeated resignations, and if they resign, they are afraid that they will doubt the intentions of the imperial court.
Although it is because someone is cheating, not everyone can understand it.
Therefore, before the imperial examination came, Qin Tian had to arrest the people behind the scenes, but fortunately, there was nothing difficult for him in this matter.
Fraud is only beneficial to those powerful families, so when investigating, the scope was first narrowed, and he also had Han Xiao, an insider.
As long as you can knock out the inside story from Han Xiao's mouth, then many things will be much simpler.
Chang'an City is lively and tense at the same time.
Feng Yi, who has never come to live in the four seas, came.
After he came in, he was quickly taken to a private room upstairs by Lu Feng.
In the private room, Qin Tian looked calm and was sipping beer.
"Sit down!" Seeing Feng Yi coming, Qin Tian didn't put on a show, and Feng Yi didn't regard Qin Tian as that kind of person who was very majestic and inviolable, and sat down directly opposite Qin Tian.
"Is there anything you want me to do?"
Feng Yi picked up the wine and drank it, as if he didn't know how to be polite at all, Qin Tian looked at him and said, "You didn't tell anyone else about the fraud in the imperial examination, did you?" ”
"What if you say it, but what if you don't say it?"
A very arrogant person, Qin Tian suddenly faintly disliked him, because he hated arrogant people, who gave him self-confidence, but he was just a poor kid.
However, at this time, Qin Tian still suppressed the dislike in his heart, and said: "I didn't say it, it's good for us, but if I say it, then I'm very embarrassed, Ben Hou will put all the people you told you to prison, before this case is concluded, it is dangerous for anyone to know about it." ”
Qin Tian's words were already a little cold, cold as if they were two people just now, and all of a sudden, the whole room seemed to be full of murderous aura.
Xiao is such a chic person as Feng Yi, and at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
"No, I didn't say anything."
Qin Tian nodded with satisfaction, he likes others to talk to him like this, what he asks, what he answers, if he wants to show that he is very different, then he is very embarrassed, he has found the wrong person.
"Very good, Ben Hou needs Han Xiao to do some cooperation now, and you can ask him to Lane 38."
Feng Yi glanced up at Qin Tian and hesitated, but he didn't refuse, Qin Tian wanted to hold Han Xiao unconsciously, naturally he wanted to go to a place where there was no one, and he thought that he had the ability to trick Han Xiao to Lane 38.
"No problem, when."
"It's best to act now, I'm going to see Han Xiao today, you know, there are not a few days left before the imperial examination, if you still want to participate, it's best to do it as soon as possible."
Feng Yi was stunned for a moment, but he also understood what Qin Tian meant, if this case was not solved, the imperial examination would inevitably be affected, for this exam, he had been preparing for a long time, how could he let this kind of thing happen?
Of course, the most important thing is that he wants to prove himself and prove his talent as soon as possible, so that all the people who laughed at him before will be slapped in the face.
He needs the status of a jinshi, he needs to be an official.
"No problem!"
----------------------
Lane 38 is a very secluded alley, and there are basically no people at ordinary times.
When Han Xiao came, his face was a little ugly.
He didn't expect that there was a problem with the article Feng Yi wrote for himself, which he only knew after receiving Feng Yi's letter, although the article was good, but some places touched the weakness of the Son of Heaven.
If he didn't come to Lane 38, Feng Yi wouldn't tell him about the problem there.
In Han Xiao's opinion, it must be Feng Yi, a poor ghost, who is short of money again, so he wants to ask him to come here to ask for money.
He hated Feng Yi's behavior a little, but he thought that he would soon become an official, so he still endured it.
Lane 38 was very quiet, and Han Xiao looked at each other after coming here, but they didn't see Feng Yi's people.
He frowned slightly, getting a little angry.
"Feng Yi, where are you, come out?"
He shouted, and then he heard footsteps coming from behind, and he was about to turn his head, but at this time, he suddenly felt a little pain in his stamina, and then he felt dizzy, and fell to the ground with a plop.
"Take it away and take it to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."
When Han Xiao woke up, he found that he was in a prison cell.
"Let me out......"
As soon as he shouted, he was slapped by a jailer, and it was only then that he suddenly felt bad, and then he saw the man sitting in front of him.
"Qin ...... Marquis Qin? ”
Sitting in front of him, the man with the fan was Qin Tian, Qin Tian smiled indifferently: "Say, who leaked the imperial examination questions to you?" ”
Han Xiao broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead: "What did Master Hou say, I don't understand, what imperial examination questions?" ”
Han Xiao is not smart, but he is not stupid either, he dares to confess Cui Tong, he is afraid that the future will be very difficult, and even the life of the entire Han family will not be easy.
Qin Tian looked cold: "Covering up the people behind the scenes, it is not good for you, the saint already knows about this matter, you must investigate it strictly, if you are willing to confess honestly, the saint is merciful, and you can spare your life, if not, this matter is all on your body, it is a big crime that is full of beheading, can you afford it?" ”
The interrogation room was originally very hot, but after Qin Tian's words came out, it made people only get goosebumps.
Han Xiao didn't know what to do, saying that life was not easy, not to say, life was not easy, he didn't know if what Qin Tian said was true.
Qin Tian finished speaking, seeing that Han Xiao did not react in the slightest, he faintly lost his patience, and said: "Come on, bring the torture tools of the Criminal Department, and give them to me to use on him one after another, until he is willing to tell the people behind the scenes." ”
As soon as the words fell, a jailer had already run over, bringing all kinds of torture instruments, and then one of the jailers picked up a whip and whipped it.
"Smack......
After the whip was whipped, Han Xiao was so scared that he almost peed his pants, he was pampered, and he had suffered this kind of crime there.
"Say, I say, spare me, spare me......"
People like Han Xiao basically don't have any hard bones, so as long as they know the pain, they will naturally tell the matter.
Qin Tian nodded: "Okay, let's say, who leaked the exam questions to you." ”
"It's the Cui family......
Han Xiao told Qin Tian about the situation, and when Qin Tian heard that it was actually from the Cui family, his brows immediately condensed, and after a while, he took Han Xiao's confession and hurriedly entered the palace.
