The torture of the tiger chair has never been seen by the people of the Ming Dynasty, but when they saw Song Kuang fainting directly, they knew that it was even more terrifying than sitting on a nail board. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There was silence inside and outside the palace.

The people quietly watched what was happening in front of them, and one by one, the officials who were usually proud of their might and power were put on the tiger chair one by one, without exception, they wept in the terrible screams, and when they came down from the tiger chair, none of them could still stand and walk.

"My lord, I still refuse to recruit!" Jing Yue was personally in charge of the execution, and every time he interrogated someone, he would turn around and report to Shen Xi.

At this time, Shen Xi was still very comfortable, and he didn't seem to care who recruited or not, but purely wanted to torture the officials of the Huizhou Mansion.

After a round of interrogation, none of the people from the prefect's yamen confessed.

The problem is obvious, this killing is a big crime, which not only makes the court lose face, but also makes the people hate it to the bone, admitting that it is death, it is better to die and bite and not let go, maybe there is a glimmer of life.

Shen Xi put down the file and said in shock: "This case is postponed for half an hour for retrial!" ”

Those officials who suffered the punishment of the tiger chair thought that the suffering was over, but they did not expect that this was only an intermission, and there was still a second half.

Shen Xi was about to get up and go to the back hall after speaking, when Jing Yue came over and reminded: "My lord, there are still a few people outside...... If you come from the capital, will you be tried or not? ”

Jing Yue said that the capital came from Jiang Liwei and other Jinyi guards. Due to the consideration of the face of the Jinyi Guard, those Jinyi Guards who wore flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives were all taken to the side room in the front yard, and only Jiang Liwei knelt there. Shen Xi had previously interrogated the people from the prefect's yamen, but he showed mercy to Jiang Liwei's subordinates.

Shen Xi smiled and said, "Don't try it for the time being, let them wait outside!" ”

After speaking, Shen Xi entered the inner hall, and Jing Yue began to beckon people to clean up the people and tables and chairs in the lobby, preparing for half an hour later Shen Xi came over to continue the trial of the case.

The trial in the lobby has come to an end for the time being, and the inside and outside of the yamen suddenly became extremely noisy.

The people were not talking about the case, but about the torture that Shen Xi had used before, and the people who thought they were knowledgeable were arguing about the horror of the tiger chair, but they didn't know the point.

Jing Yue came out of the lobby, walked to Jiang Liwei, who was kneeling on the ground, pouted and asked, "You are Jinyi Wei Zhenfu?" It's quite spirited. ”

When Jiang Liwei heard this kind of sarcasm, he didn't hear it, he didn't want to fight with these rude martial artists at this time, and the most important thing was to get rid of his relationship with Song Kuang.

Jiang Liwei raised his head and asked, "Where is Shen Zhongcheng now?" ”

Jing Yue said: "The adults are tired, go to the inner hall to rest for the time being, and specially ordered me to wait over and entertain Jiang Zhenfu well!" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Liwei felt a chill down his spine.

The factory guards used torture to extract confessions, but he understood Jing Yue's "hospitality" as an abuse of lynching against him. Jiang Liwei protested: "Shen Zhongcheng hasn't even found the evidence of the Song Governor's Mansion, even if I have dealings with him, what can I prove?" ”

Jing Yue had no obligation to explain, so he asked Jiang Liwei to escort him to the dark place in the side courtyard of the prefect's yamen, and just when Jiang Liwei thought that these people were going to punch and kick him, Jing Yue lit the torch and said:

"Jiang Zhenfu, you received dozens of acres of land from the Song Governor's Mansion, and the field deed was found in your clothes, which is conclusive evidence. I advise you to be honest and release the person who took it before, Lord Shen will not embarrass you! ”

Jiang Liwei's mind spun quickly, and he immediately realized the key to what Jing Yue said.

Shen Xi did not extract useful confessions from Song Kuang and others, but before Song Kuang engaged in the prefect's yamen, he made a big deal of the party and the same as the prefect Yamen, and "reported" the Huizhou Mansion with Sui Zhu and others.

If Sui Zhu and others are called out to prove Song Kuang, Sui Zhu's thing of referring to deer as a horse can definitely be done.

"People are not in the hands of my own officials!" Jiang Liwei didn't want to be convenient with Shen Xi, and he estimated in his heart that when he handed over the person, it would be the day he suffered.

If he wants to avoid being guilty, he has to hide the place where Sui Zhu and the others are hiding, and he is secretly glad in his heart that he had taken the initiative to transfer people out of the city first, originally he just wanted to negotiate conditions with Song Kuang and ask for more benefits, but now he indirectly helped himself.

Jing Yue said: "If you don't want to say it, just help Jiang Zhenfu to rest in the room first, and when the hall opens, then ask Jiang Zhenfu to talk in the court!" ”

Jiang Liwei did not struggle, and was sent into a wing room in the side courtyard, Jing Yue hurriedly went to the inner hall of the prefect's yamen to report to Shen Xi.

When Jing Yue arrived in the inner hall, Shen Xi was sitting in front of the candlestick on his desk, writing something.

"My lord, the person surnamed Jiang refuses to help, what should I do, and I will serve him in a while?" Jing Yue asked through gritted teeth.

Shen Xi glanced up at Jing Yue and shook his head: "How can he say that he is also a person from the Beizhen Fusi, and the suppression of the five products is not to say that he will be tortured." ”

Jing Yue sighed: "My lord, you don't even beat the prefect of the fourth grade, he is a petty official of the fifth grade, I'm afraid that he is a bird!" ”

"That's right, I'm afraid he's a bird."

Shen Xi continued to shake his head, "Lao Yue, your temperament is too straight, sometimes you need to know how to be flexible, these five-grade officials don't look big, but the specific things have to be analyzed specifically, Jinyiwei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, representing the face of the royal family, how can you treat it all?" In the event of an incident, it is the highest state to surrender without a fight. ”

Jing Yue was submissive, but he was quite unimpressed.

Lord Shen said this too lightly, right? Now that the people have been arrested, and those who should have been fought have been fought, what kind of soldiers are they surrendering without a fight?

Jing Yue asked, "My lord, ...... in half an hour?"

Shen Xi finally finished writing down the things at hand, put down the pen, and said: "After half an hour, the trial will be correct, but there is no need to use torture, just persuade with good words." ”

"Your Excellency, you say...... Good words to persuade you? ”

Jing Yue's face was full of disbelief. In his mind, since the previous tiger chair didn't work, a more severe punishment should be used, so he simply used the torture and killed a few intimidating accomplices, and there would always be people who couldn't stand it, but Shen Xi didn't seem to take this case seriously at all at this time, and if the punishment didn't work, he had to get by.

Shen Xi said: "Do what the official says." ”

Jing Yue could only reluctantly accept the order: "Yes, my lord." ”

……

……

A small courtyard in the west of Huizhou Prefecture.

A black shadow jumped over the fence into the courtyard like a ghost, and soon the house was lit up with a faint light, but instead of a candle, it was a small tung oil lamp.

"Godmother."

The black shadow lowered the cloak, revealing the woman's appearance, which was none other than Yu Niang's right-hand man, Xi'er.

Yu Niang was neatly dressed, and behind her stood Yun Liu, as well as a few followers who followed her south.

Yu Niang asked, "What's going on over there at the prefect's yamen?" ”

Xi'er was a little embarrassed: "I heard that Lord Shen was the governor of the internal trial of the case, and the trial was that the people of the Huizhou Mansion pretended to be robbers with the heads of the people and lied about their achievements. I couldn't get too close, but I heard a scream from inside, as if I had used a great punishment, but no one had confessed so far, and at this time the Governor had gone to the inner hall, and said that he would wait for half an hour to be tried. ”

Yu Niang said angrily: "Let you check, why didn't you get too close?" ”

Xi'er's expression was a little evasive, it was not that she had no chance to get close to the lobby of the prefect's yamen, just because all the onlookers there were men, and she was wearing men's clothes, so she didn't dare to come forward for fear of being taken advantage of in the crowded situation.

Yun Liu defended Xi'er: "Godmother, there are too many people in the prefect's yamen, and Xi'er may not be able to come close because of this." Now Lord Shen suddenly came to Huizhou Mansion and tortured Lord Song, the prefect, this ...... What is it going to do? ”

Yu Niang frowned and said, "I also want to know what Lord Shen means...... When I suddenly visited Huizhou, I asked about the crime of killing good and risking merit, and I thought that Lord Shen already had some evidence of the crime in hand, so maybe we didn't need to bother. ”

Yun Liu said: "But godmother, isn't this an errand entrusted to you by the imperial court?" ”

Yu Niang and Jiang Liwei were ordered to go to the place, and the main task was to escort Shen Xi to his post, and by the way, he investigated the case separately.

Jiang Liwei investigated the White Lotus Sect of the Fujian and Guangdong generations, but Yu Niang investigated the case of killing good and taking credit, and Yu Niang and Jiang Liwei did not secretly discuss with each other, so that Yu Niang only knew that Jiang Liwei was in Huizhou earlier.

Jiang Liwei detained the Huizhou Mansion and Sui Zhu and others, and tortured them, which made Yu Niang, who was acting in secret, very passive.

Now that Shen Xi suddenly came out again, not only did Jiang Liwei's wishful thinking be disrupted, but Yu Niang's side was even more confused.

Yu Niang said: "Everything related to the coastal bandits of the three provinces is related to the governor's yamen, after all, this is the main purpose of Lord Shen's coming to the place, as long as he thinks that anyone has an affair with the bandits, let alone torture, even if it is killed, it is not too much." Lord Shen has the authority to cut first and then play. ”

These words shocked Xi'er, Yunliu and the entourage behind Yu Niang.

It was the first time they knew that Shen Xi could actually kill the local prefect first.

Xi'er asked in surprise, "Godmother, does Lord Shen really have such a big authority?" ”

"Alas!"

Yu Niang had a little worry on her face, "Although Lord Shen is a civilian official, what he is leading this time is the promotion of military affairs in the three provinces, and the army is in power. The so-called general will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, as for how Lord Shen wants to pacify the bandits, the court will not ask, he wants to kill a Huizhou prefect, at most he will write a recital to explain the reason to the court afterwards! ”

Shen Xi pacified the bandits on the southeast coast and adopted a wartime system, that is, all political and military resources must be subordinated to the needs of the war.

If Shen Xi thinks that someone disturbs the morale of the army, he can cut it first and then play it; If Shen Xi thinks that anyone is delaying the military plane, he can cut it first and then play it; If Shen Xi felt that anyone had collusion with the bandits, he would also cut it first and then play it.

Even if Shen Xi beheaded the wrong person, when the war broke out, no one could impeach Shen Xi for doing something wrong, just like when Yuan Chonghuan beheaded Mao Wenlong, who was far higher than him, because this would cause chaos among the three armies, and it would take until after the war to punish or punish the crime.

Yu Niang said: "Since Lord Shen has come straight to Huizhou, he will also take down the prefect's yamen and others, that is, he has the authority to cut first and then play." If Lord Shen needs evidence of the crime, we will also present the results of the previous investigation one by one, so as to stabilize the morale of the army and the people as soon as possible. ”

Xi'er was a little unwilling: "Godmother, we spent a lot of time to get the evidence of the crime, we ...... it."

Yun Liu hurriedly pulled her sister, but Yu Niang's voice still came:

"How can you always remember the merits of doing things for the imperial court? I'm just a group of daughters, even if I have merit, how will the court reward me? But if Lord Shen is fulfilled and his achievements are made outstanding, even if Lord Shen leaks a little credit from between his fingers, it will be enough for me to benefit immensely in this life!
