Chapter 433: Demonic trials in the depths of the Imperial Prison
In the dim prison, the aisle is actually very clean, rats and cockroaches are not seen, it is estimated that the big eunuch is going to come to try the case, and Jinyiwei has also done a big cleaning here, but Li Mi walked on this aisle, and he always felt that he was walking on the Huangquan Road, and he felt that he was hairy for no reason.
When I walked to a cell at the end, I saw a man tied to a torture rack, naked and disheveled, and he could not see his face except for his thin body.
Three or five jailers guarded the door, and when they saw Wang An and Li Mi coming, they immediately knelt down and saluted, and Wang An waved his hand: "Open the door." ”
The jailer answered, opened the cell door, and Li Mi followed in.
The inside of this cell smells terrible, after all, it is a place where prisoners are held, eating, drinking, and Lazar are all in it, and they torture prisoners all year round, and the bloody smell cannot be dispersed.
Moreover, this is the last cell, where all the felons who are guilty of the most heinous crimes or are extremely heinous, and the yin qi is extremely heavy, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
Eunuchs are extremely clean, firstly, they serve the royal family in the palace, and they are not favored by poor hygiene habits, and secondly, because of their physical disabilities, they pay more attention to personal hygiene.
So Wang An also took out a handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose, walked up to the man, and said to the man: "Raise your head!" ”
The man didn't look up, but just snorted: "A yin man with no eggs, if he doesn't have spices with him, he will stink like a rotten corpse, but he is just a dog, why pretend to be a human." ”
His words were harsh and vicious, but they spoke in a natural tone, as if what he said was the truth.
Wang An was immediately enraged, and threw a slap over, Li Mi really couldn't see the person's face, but he saw that Wang An's entire right hand was red and swollen, and he was still trembling, which showed how heavy this slap was.
"Yin people are yin people, they don't have any strength at all, and they are not as good as girls!" The man was still mocking, Wang An was even more annoyed, glanced around, and was about to get the torture instrument next to him!
However, Li Mi has been watching, Wang An has let this person control the rhythm from the beginning, how can he judge what a famous hall!
Li Mi immediately stopped the angry Wang An, and then said to the jailer behind him: "Someone, hair!" ”
The ancients often said that the parents of the body hair and skin are very precious to the hair and nails, especially the hair, which has an unusual significance for the Chinese nation.
Historically, the northern alien races, and even many other races, have a tradition of wearing hair, such as the Khitans, Mongols, etc., in order to survive, they have to cut off their hair, perhaps the most primitive idea is that when they don't want to hunt, they are in danger because their hair hangs on the branches and thorns, or because the end of their hair hits the eye and falls off the horse.
In any case, whether it is a foreign race or some ethnic minorities in China, they like to cut off their hair.
But the people of the Central Plains cherish their hair very much, otherwise after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, there would be no such thing as keeping a head without hair, leaving a hair without a head, even so, there are still many Han people who would rather cut off their heads than have their hair.
The edict is a hell on earth, and when you get here, you have to trample on all the dignity of the prisoner and let him completely collapse before he can confess.
In ancient times, in order to trample on the dignity of prisoners and distinguish prisoners from ordinary people, many measures were also adopted, such as black noodles, such as the Song Dynasty, which was to tattoo characters on the face or neck of prisoners, and most of the content was the crimes committed by the prisoners and the location of distribution.
Therefore, those who tattoo the word "prisoner" on their foreheads or faces on TV are all nonsense, rapists will stab "rapists" in their faces, murderers will stab "murderers", sometimes there are too many crimes and they can't be pierced in the face.
Of course, there are many such cases in later generations, especially when women need to be punished, they usually cut off their hair, but the connotation behind this humiliation is different from that of ancient times.
Li Mi started from the most basic criminal justice system, and has been the deputy signature of Dali Temple, whether it is the county government, or the official yamen, or the science office, he has also seen too many ways to treat prisoners.
But he rarely saw a punishment with hair, this person took the initiative to provoke Wang An from the beginning, it can be seen that this person has a strong ability to counter torture, and even is good at this, Li Mi finally knows that this person is by no means a mere grass people!
You can't expect to defeat such a person with all kinds of torture and suffering, because he is not afraid of them at all, and even takes the initiative to provoke you to show his courage and determination not to give in.
All the punishment and pain he endured, every scar he left behind, will accomplish the glory of pride in his heart, and you can destroy his weak body, but you cannot defeat his proud soul!
For such people, it is necessary to go off the beaten path!
Whether this incident is a historical attack or not, it doesn't matter anymore, what matters is the impact of the incident!
Therefore, Li Mi must not sit idly by, since he has decided to participate, he can't let go of the opportunity, this person is the key!
What Li Mi needs to figure out is this person's motive for committing the crime, because no one would believe that an irrelevant madman would break into the deep palace and attack Concubine Wang Gong's mother and son with a clear goal!
After Li Mi gave the order at this time, the jailers glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of excitement!
They may all be family people, and they are also gentle husbands and fathers at home, or they may be lonely people, with no worries or worries, or they may be psychologically violent and murderous people.
No matter what the background is, if you can continue to work in the edict and torture so many fresh lives, you still haven't been defeated, and sooner or later you will be perverted.
These have nothing to do with education or good or evil character, but are inherently dark.
After all, people are also animals, and the ancient people were also people who ate people, men and women married in groups, and later there was the custom of cave houses, and the two sides of the union lived alone in a cave, in order to avoid group marriage, which is the rule of human beings.
It can also be seen from this that human beings used to be like wild beasts, step by step to become what they are today, but in the bones, human beings have wild blood flowing in the end.
In an environment like the edict, who can continue to do it and enjoy it, which one will be a good person?
So when they got Li Mi's orders, they knew that Li Mi was definitely a veteran of interrogation, and they were excited, after all, they were tired of playing tricks in the edict!
The three or five jailers didn't say much, but picked up the blunt knife in the cell and began to give the man hair.
The prisoner also fell silent, and between the messy and scattered hair, two gloomy eyes were revealed, but they were transferred from Wang An to Li Mi's body.
"You're a bit interesting, but the candles on your body haven't dispersed, presumably newlywed, it's a pity, there are only candles and no beauty fragrance, and the eyes and pupils are dilated, it should be caused by alcoholism, but the yang energy has not leaked out, so either the mother-in-law ran away, or the mother-in-law didn't let you touch it, it's also sad......"
Li Mi has also seen a person like Zhou Yu who is good at perceiving people's hearts, but he has never seen such precision as this person in front of him!
He is good at observing people's micro-expressions, and even being able to deduce the subject's experience based on his expression is really terrifying!
Li Mi's face was expressionless, because he didn't want this person to show a smug smile, but Wang An couldn't!
Zhen Mi's escape from marriage, there is only one person like Wang An, who is an insider, everyone says that the person who attacked Wang Gongfei's mother and son is a madman, this person was arrested earlier, and he is also crazy, but at this time, I am afraid that the things that this person said are not nonsense!
The man seemed to notice Wang An's strangeness, and the light of those two eyes dimmed and brightened, and then he smiled.
"It turned out that the mother-in-law ran away."
At this time, the jailers had already begun to grow their hair, using blunt knives, not so much cutting hair, but pulling out the hair, constantly tearing off, and even tearing off the hair roots and scalp together, and the man's head soon revealed one bloody bald spot after another, which was really like a ghost shaving his head!
However, he was calm, as if his body was not his, and after his hair was plucked out, the bridge of his nose was exposed.
"Ah...... I thought about it, the officials who got married in the past two days, only the former Dali Temple was vice-signed, and he had just been awarded the Denglai Zhuzhou Xuanfu, Li Shenzhi, the secretary of Li Shenzhi, who started from a young catch, who am I, it turns out that in front of me is the famous Suzhou detective Li Mi......"
"Your family affair is known all over the city, but who knows that your mother-in-law has run away, and you can't publicize it yet...... Poor ......."
"But, you're supposed to be guilty of bullying, right? You are a criminal officer, is it a crime of deceitful king, do you say it yourself? ”
Li Mi frowned in the end, but Wang An was shocked by these remarks!
He hadn't studied micro-expressions and psychology, and this person's performance, in Wang An's opinion, was like a fairy prophet at all!
This person also saw Wang An's weakness, and his eyes were extremely vicious, and at this time he said to Wang An: "It turns out that the prince is also an insider, you are a foreign minister, an internal servant, secretly do this, if you don't know, you still think you want to rebel......"
When many jailers heard this, they didn't even dare to shave their heads, and they stopped their hands one after another and looked at Wang An and Li Mi!
After all, they are Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei was first established to defend the imperial power, the Jinyiwei of all dynasties, in the name of rebellion, I don't know how many people have been arrested, and tens of millions of unjust souls have died in the edict because of the word rebellion!
Wang An also knows that this matter can be big or small, although it is Li Mi's private matter, but it is an indisputable fact that concealment and non-reporting, even if it is to take care of everyone's face, but if Zhu Yijun wants to pursue it, it is indeed a good excuse!
After all, Wang An is the person who often accompanies the monarch, and he is also the master of the dignified East Factory, so he immediately scolded those jailers.
"You have to take the words of a madman seriously, how did you do it in vain all these years in the edict, and you still don't shave my hair!"
Wang An was so angry, the jailers also suddenly came to their senses, their hands and feet, and the heavier their hands became, and three or five streaks of blood slid down the man's forehead, which also made people's scalps tense when they looked at it.
"If I am right, it seems that the Overseer is ashamed and angry, it should be a weak heart, and it seems that the Overseer's mind is not simple......"
Wang An was guessed by this person three times and twice, and he was controlled from beginning to end, and now he was also angry, and said to Li Mi.
"What's next?"
Li Mi looked at Wang An, and then said meaningfully: "Princess, after cutting the top, maybe it's time to cut the bottom......"
As soon as Li Mi said this, Wang An was immediately overjoyed!
Although he has a good temperament and is not considered a traitor, he is a eunuch in the end, and eunuchs can't wait for all men in the world to cut off the root of their lives!
Hearing Li Mi's words, the man's face became solemn, his brows furrowed, and the blood quickly accumulated a bead of blood at the center of his eyebrows.
"Master Li, this is not kind......
Li Mi finally smiled: "I said that you really have no nostalgia, it turns out that there are still ......"
