After learning the intention of the three masked people in front of him, Yang Zhong was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Li Hongyu with a shocked face, his mind, which was not a little confused, sobered up in an instant, drunk at all, and shocked that Li Hongyu knew about Qin Yue.

"What...... What Miss Qin Er, you ...... You're looking for the wrong person, I don't know what you're talking about. Then, Yang Zhong hurriedly shook his head and opened his mouth to deny it, with a panicked look in his eyes.

"If you don't go to the Yellow River, you won't die, since this is the case, I will fulfill you." Li Hongyu keenly noticed the change in the expression on Yang Zhong's face, and from Yang Zhong's flustered eyes, he immediately realized that he really had something to do with Qin Yue's disappearance, so he sneered and made a gesture to Wang Tieniu.

Seeing this, Wang Tieniu stuffed the rag back into Yang Zhong's mouth, and then dragged him to a Taishi chair with a sturdy young man and fixed it with a rope, so that Yang Zhong sat face up and leaned on the back of the chair, which made him vaguely aware that something was wrong.

Soon, under the gaze of Yang Zhong from the corner of his eye, Wang Tieniu took out a thin stack of mulberry paper from his arms, picked up a pot of wine on the table and walked towards him.

Seeing this situation, Yang Zhong immediately understood what Wang Tieniu was going to do, he was so frightened that his soul was scattered, his face turned pale, and he struggled with all his strength, and his mouth was whimpering and wanting to speak, but he was firmly blocked by rags.

The sturdy young man pressed the Taishi chair hard, so that Yang Zhong who was tied to it could not move, Wang Tieniu picked up a piece of mulberry paper and put it on his face in Yang Zhong's frightened eyes, and then took a sip of wine and suddenly sprayed at the mulberry paper, spewing out a fine mist.

The mulberry paper became soft after being damp, and it immediately adhered to his face, which made Yang Zhong's breathing suddenly stagnant and became difficult.

Li Hongyu stood aside and looked at the scene in front of him quietly, because some people in later generations had a special study of ancient punishments, so he had read books on this subject, so he chose the method of masking him on wet mulberry paper to teach Yang Zhong a lesson, let him experience the taste of dying, and then break his psychological defense in one fell swoop.

In fact, Wang Tieniu has a special name for this kind of punishment, called "Tie Jia Guan", also known as 'Kai Jia Guan', which is a special punishment used by prison guards in ancient times to extort confessions, especially for prisoners who are executed, and there will be no scars on the outside of the body, which can be said to kill people without leaving traces.

Under Li Hongyu's gaze, Wang Tieniu covered Yang Zhong's face with a second piece of mulberry paper, sprayed a sip of wine on it again, and then the third, and the fourth, as concocted.

Normally, at the beginning, the victim struggles because there is not much mulberry paper, but when the fifth paper is used, it will cause suffocation, and soon the whole person will be silent.

At this time, the executioner will breathe a sigh of relief, go forward to check, and after making sure that the tortured person has died, he will uncover the five pieces of mulberry paper that are stacked together and are almost dry, and the five pieces of mulberry paper are concave and convex because they are tightly attached to the face of the torturer, like a mask of "jumping plus officials" on the stage, which is the origin of the name "sticking plus officials".

In Li Hongyu's view, this kind of punishment of wet paper masking can not only kill people invisibly in ancient times, but more importantly, it can cause great damage to people's psychology, so that the tortured person can experience the loneliness and helplessness when they are on the verge of death, and he believes that no one wants to experience a second time.

After pasting the fourth piece of mulberry paper, Wang Tieniu looked up at Li Hongyu, Li Hongyu silently stared at Yang Zhong who was struggling there, he couldn't give Yang Zhong the psychology of luck, so he wanted to hit with one blow and completely break Yang Zhong's psychological defense.

Soon after, the struggling Yang Zhong gradually stopped moving, Li Hongyu nodded to Wang Tieniu when he saw this, Wang Tieniu quickly uncovered the mulberry paper on Yang Zhong's face, and took out the cloth ball in his mouth.

Yang Zhong remained motionless there, as if he was dead, which made Wang Tieniu and the sturdy young man look at Li Hongyu nervously, killing Yang Zhong was a small matter, and in this way, he lost Qin Yue's clues.

Li Hongyu knew that Yang Zhong didn't die so easily, at most he fainted because of suffocation, so he stepped forward and punched him twice in the heart.

With Li Hongyu's action, Yang Zhong, whose eyes were tightly closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and then took a big breath of air, his chest rising and falling sharply.

"Cherish this opportunity, I promise that next time you will say goodbye to this world." Li Hongyu stared at Yang Zhong coldly, and asked in a cold voice, "Let me ask again, where did you send Miss Qin Er after you arrested Miss Qin Er in Yunjue Temple?" ”

"Light ...... In Guanghua County, my young master Renxiao sent Miss Qin Er to the newly bought manor in Guanghua County. ”

Yang Zhong felt that the masked man with a cold voice in front of him was simply a demon in hell, and he almost killed him as soon as he made a move, seeing that Li Hongyu even knew about the matter of Yunjue Temple, the last bit of defense in his heart collapsed, so he replied while panting, he didn't want to die yet.

"Why did Yang Renxiao kidnap Miss Qin Er? Why did Miss Qin Er go to Yunjue Temple to see him, and was there a personal relationship between the two? ”

Li Hongyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, it seemed that his previous speculation was right, Qin Yue's matter was indeed done by Yang Renxiao, and then asked quietly, wanting to find out the origin of the matter and the relationship between Qin Yue and Yang Renxiao.

Especially the relationship between Qin Yue and Yang Renxiao, although Li Hongyu believes that Qin Yue is innocent, but this kind of thing of male and female love is not easy to say, in case there is a fire between the two, he can't be this wronged boss in vain!

"Young Master Renxiao was quite unwilling after the failure of the calculation of Li Case First last time, Li Case Master not only won the first place in the government examination, but also introduced Miss Qin Er, so he wanted to teach Li Case First a lesson and also get Miss Qin Er, so he wrote a letter to Miss Qin Er and agreed to meet in Yunjue Temple."

Yang Zhong took a few breaths and stabilized his mind, and told what he knew, "Young Master Renxiao expected that Second Miss Qin would not tell outsiders about this, so he put sweat medicine in the tea she drank, and then quietly transported it to Guanghua County. ”

"Miss Qin Er and Young Master Renxiao have no selfish relationship, the two met when Miss Qin Er came to Xiangyang City on a blind date, and the son of Renxiao fell in love with Miss Qin Er at first sight, and gave the family bracelet to Miss Qin Er as a token, Miss Qin Er came to Yunjue Temple this time to return the bracelet, but unfortunately the bracelet was broken by Master Renxiao."

As he spoke, a look of pity appeared on Yang Zhong's face, you must know that the bracelet is the heirloom of the Yang family, but he didn't expect to end up like this.

After listening to Yang Zhong's words, Li Hongyu's hanging heart finally fell, it turned out that Qin Yue went to Yunjue Temple not to have a personal affair with Yang Renxiao, but to cut off the grievances and entanglements between the two.

"Yang Renxiao was framed before the capital test of the Li case?" Subsequently, Li Hongyu realized something and couldn't help but ask in a deep voice, it was obvious that the last time he was calculated was the Zhang family's slander case against him, which not only caused him to suffer from the 30th board, but also almost couldn't participate in the government exam, so he couldn't be a little Sanyuan in Xiangyang Mansion.

"Young Master Renxiao was very angry after the head of the case Li and Miss Qin Er got engaged, thinking that the head of the case Li deliberately snatched love, and the head of the case Li actually beat Li Hongyi and Wang Kuiju to become the head of the county trial in Jiangkou County, and the young master of Renxiao was worried that the head of the Li case would bring him trouble during the trial, so he set a trap and let Widow Zhang and others frame the head of the Li case and buy off Niu Xiancheng."

Yang Zhong naturally didn't know that the masked man in front of him was Li Hongyu, so he didn't dare to hide anything, and poured beans into a bamboo tube and told them one by one, "What Young Master Renxiao didn't expect was that the head of the case Li finally passed the government examination. ”

"I see!" Li Hongyu couldn't help but show a thoughtful look on his face when he heard this, so that all the doubts in his heart about Widow Zhang and others framing him were solved, but he didn't expect that the person who secretly calculated him turned out to be Yang Renxiao.

"Untie him, and ask him to write down what he said before and sign it." Then, Li Hongyu groaned for a while, and ordered Wang Tieniu in a deep voice.

Wang Tieniu and the sturdy young man immediately untied the rope on Yang Zhong's body, brought him pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, watched Yang Zhong write down what he had just said, and gave the signature painting to Li Hongyu.

"The information you provide is important, and you deserve it." Li Hongyu looked at the confession, folded it and put it in his arms, then took out five silver tickets with a denomination of one hundred taels and handed them to Yang Zhong, and said quietly.

Yang Zhong didn't expect Li Hongyu to give him money and as much as five hundred taels, a puzzled look suddenly appeared on his face, and he couldn't understand Li Hongyu's intention for doing this for a while.

"Before we find Miss Qin Er, we can only wronged you first." Under Yang Zhong's puzzled gaze, Li Hongyu waved his head to Wang Tieniu, and Wang Tieniu handed Yang Zhong a cup of herbal tea and motioned him to drink it.

Where did Yang Zhong dare to resist now, although he felt that there was something wrong with that cup of tea, he still drank it all, he didn't want to suffer anymore.

It didn't take long for Yang Zhong to feel dizzy in front of him, and he fainted on the Taishi chair he was sitting on as soon as it was dark, and Wang Tieniu was sweated in that cup of herbal tea.

For the sake of safety, Li Hongyu decided to use drugs to stun Yang Zhong to prevent him from ventilating Yang Renxiao, and the signed confession did not guarantee that Yang Zhong would not tell Yang Renxiao.

That cup of herbal tea with the drug would make Yang Zhong sleep until the afternoon, and it would be too late for him to tell the truth, and once Qin Yue was rescued, Yang Renxiao, who was embarrassed and angry, would definitely not let him go.

Li Hongyu stepped forward to check to make sure that Yang Zhong was really unconscious, so he nodded to Wang Tieniu, and Wang Tieniu and the sturdy young man carried Yang Zhong to the bed.

Subsequently, the three of them quietly closed the door and left, and quietly left through the back door of the Chunfeng Pavilion under the cover of Yan'er, who was waiting outside.
