Chapter 237: The mouth suddenly opened
"Who are you, and who are you to serve?" Zhao Gou looked coldly at the handcuffed man, wanting to get some useful information, but still found nothing.
Zhao Gou asked this kind of question no less than dozens of times, and each time it was the same result, and the person in front of him did not respond, let alone reveal information. As a last resort, Zhao Gou used the torture instrument, but he still clenched his breath and was unwilling to reveal anything.
Steward Wang saw that this person had some backbone, no matter what kind of punishment was used, this person just kept silent, and his disdainful look made people angry, and he said loudly: "Young master, in my opinion, he should have been strictly trained, or he has already been mentally prepared, and it is not a way to go on like this, I am afraid it will be difficult to pry his mouth open without some special means!" ”
Zhao Gou didn't want to pry his mouth open, but the person in front of him had a very tight tone and used several kinds of torture, even branding, but it was still useless. No matter what method they used, the man was an expression from beginning to end, dismissive, and even mocking.
"What do you suggest?" Zhao Gou knew that Steward Wang would not mention this matter for no reason, so he must have a clever plan, so he didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
"At the beginning, a punishment method that a few of us occasionally researched was very effective!" When Zhao Gou saw the treacherous smile on Steward Wang's face, he couldn't help but feel some curiosity, not knowing what kind of punishment it would be.
Steward Wang saw that Zhao Gou agreed, and he immediately ordered someone to go down, prepare a basin of water, and a stack of mulberry paper. The taste was comparable to suffocation, and Sensei felt uncomfortable, and he had not experienced it himself, but he had seen it.
This is a form of punishment in the Qing Dynasty called "Tie Jia Guan". First of all, the steward Wang ordered someone to pick up a piece of the prepared mulberry paper, cover the person's face, and then from the mouth of the mouth already a mouthful of burning knife, spray hard, poke out a burst of mist, the mulberry paper is damp and soft, immediately attached to the face.
Steward Wang built the second chapter and concocted it in the same way. The man was already having trouble breathing, and he stopped covering it, just left it still. Sure enough, the man's hands and feet began to move wildly, his nostrils were completely blocked, and he could only use his mouth, still unable to breathe fresh air.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Steward Wang let the man expose his mouth to breathe air, and sneered: "Now, are you still hard-mouthed?" I advise you to speak up obediently, otherwise your life will not be guaranteed! ”
Since the man was arrested, he has not been speechless, this punishment made him a little unbearable, that kind of suffocation is not something ordinary people can bear, he would rather kill him with a knife, it is far more comfortable than the current taste, still stubbornly said: "Don't think! ”
"Someone, and more!" Steward Wang didn't bother to be verbose, and directly ordered someone to cover it with mulberry paper.
Zhao Gou was surprised: "How did you know about such a punishment?" ”
Steward Wang replied flatly: "Young master, this is a punishment for people in the harem who are specially used to deal with troubles, and I wrote it down when I saw it inadvertently." ”
"I see!" Zhao Gou suddenly realized, he realized that the harem of the feudal dynasty was really extraordinary, and even the criminal department did not dare to use such a punishment, you must know that such a punishment is basically not a punishment, but a human life, and it is not as simple as punishment at all.
"This person's mouth is so tight, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to pry it open, and it will be useless to keep it!"
When Zhao Gou heard Steward Wang's words, he thought it was true, he also had such thoughts, but he still held on to a little hope and would never give up until the end. Pondering and meditating had no effect, and finally Zhao remembered a method of extorting confessions that he had seen in later generations, and his internal strength was enough to control the rhythm.
Zhao Gou ordered someone to take off the mulberry paper, and the man's face was pale, his breathing was short, and his eyes were wide, as if he had walked from the edge of reincarnation, only to realize how beautiful the world was. It's just that Zhao Gou didn't give him a chance to breathe next, and shouted: "Look at me!" ”
The man was stunned, he didn't understand what tricks Zhao Gou was playing, he raised his head and looked at him, only to feel that Zhao Gou's eyes were very deep, and the whole person seemed to be trapped in it without paying attention, and his meaning began to blur, in a trance, and his blurred eyes did not have any focus, like the walking dead.
"What's your name?"
Zhao ...... Zhao Cheng! ”
"Why are you in that dilapidated mansion, and what is your purpose?"
"The master ordered me to stay there and contact the outside world, and then pass the news back to the master and tell the master!"
"Have you been there all along?"
"It's not!"
"Not? What is the reason, all the explanations! ”
"The superintendent of the imperial history somehow tracked down the disaster relief funds of the year, and the master was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he ordered me to strictly guard this place. I was originally a dead man cultivated by my master, and I have been staying in the household to connect with people, and then I was tracked down and found out that the matter was exposed, so in order not to attract attention, I had to disappear! ”
The master planned to cause trouble and put all the blame on Tong Guan, but the matter was still revealed, and at the last moment, he actually told the truth of the matter. Later, when I noticed that someone was following me, I acted cautiously, and the owner, fearing that things might change, ordered me to stay there and wait. ”
"Who's the guy you're connecting?"
"Tobe Shangshu Ye Mengde!"
"Is there anyone else?"
"No one else!"
"Who is your master?"
"The identity of the master has always been a mystery, the dragon sees the head and the end, and every time a task is handed down, the leader releases it, and it is rare to meet him. Every time the master appears, he is either through the curtain or wearing a mask, it is difficult to know who it is, but judging from what he is wearing, it should be a prince and grandson! ”
"Who is your leader? Where are you from, and what kind of organization are you? ”
"We are a secret organization called 'Shooting the Sun', and I am only responsible for delivering messages and assassinations, and other people are doing the rest. Our chief has always followed his master and has very little contact, and it is very difficult for us to see him, and it is very difficult to see him unless there is an order. ”
"And what did you do before?"
"I was originally a religious leader, but after offending the powerful and living on the streets, a man came to my residence late at night, and he said that as long as he served his life, he could get glory and wealth, and even enter the court as an official. At that time, I was penniless, so I agreed, and sure enough, I successfully entered the household department. ”
"This person's means are all over the sky, and he actually arbitrarily installed officials to enter the court as officials, presumably this person's identity must be extraordinary!" Zhao Gou lowered his head and pondered, and then asked, "Then have you ever thought about quitting the organization?" ”
"I thought about it, but I didn't dare!"
"Why?"
"Someone once quit the organization, resigned and went into hiding, and was later sent by the organization to kill him!"
Zhao Gou always felt that he should know that person, and couldn't help but ask again: "Is the person who quit the organization Zhu Minzhong?" ”
"It's him! At the beginning, he was also a figure in the organization, our hall master, and the master who had quit the organization also knew, but he didn't want the master to give a kill order, even if he returned to his hometown, he would kill him, as if he knew something, but these are not what we should know, we just need to act on orders! ”
"Zhu Minzhong is actually a member of that organization, no wonder!"
Zhao Gou only understood everything when he heard this, and the suspicions surrounding Zhu Minzhong before were explained. Zhao Gou never understood why Zhu Minzhong knew so much even if he was the head of the household, and even the last person behind the scenes knew everything about it, it turned out that he was a person from that organization, and through continuous infiltration, he learned what the people behind the scenes were going to do, and he was afraid to quit, but he found that he couldn't quit.
coincided with the meeting, Cai Jing and Tong Guan took this opportunity to make things difficult for him, and he also fulfilled his wish and could get rid of the control of the organization. Zhu Minzhong's death also proves that he controls the evidence of that person in his hand, but he doesn't want to become a life talisman, and the thing with the evidence in his hand is still discovered, so that he is killed, and the evidence is found, all of which makes sense.
