A secret interrogation room in Tianjing, close to the Dongwang Mansion. Those who were once taken here were all prisoners of the Qing army, but it was Jiao Er, the defender of Zhenjiang, who was tried today. This man, who was besieged by the Qing army for several months and would rather die than give in, was not defeated by the Qing army, but was planted in the hands of his own people. Moreover, he was secretly arrested in Zhenjiang under the pretext of changing guards, and others did not know about him.

"Haven't you confessed yet?" Cheng Xueqi came to visit every day, and he has been forced to confess for seven consecutive days.

"Report to my lord, this guy has a very hard mouth, and he doesn't admit that his affairs are related to Luo Xuan." The interrogator immediately came over and reported.

"Let me ask him." Cheng Xueqi was already impatient, he had been grinding for so long and there was no progress, he had to get the evidence of the arrest of Luo Xuan as soon as possible, in case he had too many dreams at night.

Jiao Er, who was beaten and covered in injuries, was pulled to Cheng Xueqi, his head was drooping, his body was weak, he couldn't stand, and he was brought over by the two people next to him.

"Jiao Er, are you guilty?" Cheng Xueqi took an iron rod for interrogation and raised Jiao Er's head.

Jiao Er's eyes were already swollen, and countless blood marks were drawn from the whip on his body. He struggled and shouted: "Lao Tzu was born and died for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and you treat me like this? I'm not convinced! ”

"You and your brother pretended to be the brother of the Heavenly King in the name of Heaven to recruit troops, this has not wronged you." Cheng Xueqi sneered. (Chapter 62: Jiao Da)

"That's my brother's confusion for a while, I shed so much blood for the kingdom of heaven, and stayed alone in Zhenjiang for several months, can't this kind of credit offset the wrong things at that time?" Jiao Er became emotional and yelled.

"Yes, you are a hero, but who made a mistake at that time and left a handle. I'm not an unreasonable person, as long as you admit that you know about it, and you draw a charge here. I can release you now, and you can go to Zhenjiang to be your general, so that it will be convenient for everyone. Cheng Xueqi took out a confession and shook it in front of Jiao Er.

"You want to frame Luo Jiandian, phew! I, Jiao Er, am not the kind of ungrateful person, you can kill me, Luo Jian doesn't know about it, and you are not allowed to frame him. Jiao Er spat on the confession.

Cheng Xueqi was annoyed and ashamed, "Give you face, shameless, come on, go to punishment!" With a soldering iron! ”

The executioner tied Jiao Er to a wooden cross, lifted a fiery red soldering iron and pressed it on Jiao Er's chest. The flesh is not worthy of such torture.

"I'll fuck your ancestors for eighteen generations。。。。。。" Jiao Er's voice did not fall, and he fainted in pain.

"What about adults? The man fainted. The executioner asked.

Cheng Xueqi shook his head, if this continues, I'm afraid that people won't be able to do anything if they die.

"Draw with his fingers!" Cheng Xueqi ordered.

"Adult 。。。。。。" Several executioners were a little afraid, you looked at me, I looked at you, and no one moved.

"Why don't you want to live anymore? No one is allowed to say this. Cheng Xueqi lowered his face coldly and said sharply.

The person next to him took Jiao Er's thumb and drew a charge on the confession, Cheng Xueqi took it with satisfaction, looked at it, and said secretly: "With this, you can take down the Luo outline." ”

Luo Xuan, who was completely unaware, received a summons from the East Palace, and was detained as soon as he entered the East Palace, and he was taken to the interrogation room with his head covered.

"Why did you arrest me? What sin have I committed? The cloth stuffed in Luo Xuan's mouth was removed, and the hood was lifted, and Luo Xuan found that it was the people from the East Temple who tied him, and he was indignant.

"Don't come to the Luo inspection point to be harmed." Cheng Xueqi has a special hatred for Luo Xuan, because he invited his brother to a banquet, which led to his brother being killed by the king of the east. (Chapter 150: Blood Feast)

"Chen Qi! What exactly do you want to do? Luo Xuan said sharply. (Chen Qi is Cheng Xueqi's pseudonym in Heaven)

"Come on, read Jiao Er's confession to him." Cheng Xueqi said triumphantly.

After listening to Jiao Er's confession, Luo Jian shook his head: "Jiao Er will never say that, you are framing me." He didn't tell me about it before, Jiao Er has made so many military exploits for the Heavenly Kingdom, even if he was at fault before, he should offset the merits. ”

"Luo Checkpoint, don't care about Jiao Er, you better watch yourself. Now you are guilty of knowing and not reporting the crime, but this official understands that although you are Jiao Er's direct boss, Jiao Er rejoined the Taiping Army in Lingyidu, and the recruiter was Yang Xiaoshan at that time, does he know about this? Cheng Xueqi blinked, this was what he cared about.

"What do you mean, you want to get the world? It's up to you? Luo Xuan's eyes glared angrily, and he almost burst into flames.

"This is not what the official meant, this is the order of the East King." Cheng Xueqi raised the banner and said.

"Impossible! The prince is loyal to the king of the east and has made great contributions to the kingdom of heaven, and almost all the borders of the kingdom of heaven have been laid down by him, and it is impossible and impossible. Luo Xuan didn't believe it at all.

"Gong Gao Zhen Lord, have you ever heard this word? Don't say that Yang Xiaoshan is just a righteous son, that is, his own son, that is also a lesson from the past, you have also heard the story of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Cheng Xueqi smiled slightly.

"I want to see the king of the east, I don't believe it!" Luo Xuan said excitedly.

"Dongwang is not what you want to see, you have to explain Yang Xiaoshan's problem. Does he know about Jiao Er? Cheng Xueqi said with a fierce look on his face.

"The prince never knew." Luo Xuan firmly denied it.

"Then you are also a witness to his capture in Guilin, can you tell me what happened?" Cheng Xueqi said slyly, he began to dig into Yang Xiaoshan's historical problems.

"Back then, the prince refused to surrender in front of many of them on the city wall, which everyone saw, and there was no problem with that." Luo Xuan said angrily.

"Oh? Is it? How did I hear that he had promised to surrender to the Qing Demon? Cheng Xueqi then asked.

"That's just to let us people out, and clean up the demons and snakes." Luo outline is telling the truth.

"Really? You're not him, can't you guarantee that Yang Xiaoshan wanted to subdue the demon at that time? "Cheng Xueqi is constantly inducing confessions.

"You fart!" Luo Xuan was enraged.

"Also, why didn't Yang Xiaoshan return to Beijing immediately after the expedition? And to find Hong Xuanjiao, did they make an appointment to go out and set up their own door? Because of the final defeat, you have to go back to Tianjing? Cheng Xueqi is constantly looking for Yang Xiaoshan's weaknesses.

"I explained this to the East King, the prince found out that the military order of the West Queen was fake, and he wanted to chase her back, that's all! He wants to set up his own door, and it is impossible for him to chase it alone, you are slandering! Luo Xuan pleaded.

"Yang Xiaoshan has been captured twice, his problem is very serious, you must explain his affairs completely and clearly. Don't even think about leaving here if you don't explain it clearly! Cheng Xueqi was determined to find evidence of Yang Xiaoshan's guilt on Luo Xuan.

"Chen Qi, you don't want to frame the world, you dream! There is no problem with the son, I have nothing to say! Luo Xuan roared angrily.

"Take him down and lock him up first." Cheng Xueqi beckoned his subordinates.

A cronie came over and asked, "My lord, just draw it directly, the bones of this Luo outline look very hard." ”

"No, what the king of the east wants is ironclad evidence, don't use heavy punishment, don't let him sleep, force him to confess." Cheng Xueqi said ruthlessly, "Also, you secretly spy on Yang Xiaoshan, investigate whether there is anything abnormal in the people around him, and notify me immediately if there is any movement." ”

"It's my lord!" The cronies agreed.
