On the night of April 16, the twenty-fourth year of Jianping, the moonlight was full of moonlight and the ground was paved with silver.

The cell boss Liu Datao bowed his waist outside the cell door and whispered flatteringly: "Master, if you have something to do, just ask the little one to come over, why are you tired and come here in person?" A few days ago, I found two gadgets in the Treasure Pavilion, and I was about to send them to the master to play with them. ”

Master Qian nodded and didn't answer directly, but a slight smile appeared on his gloomy face, and then he said directly: "Recently, there are a few key prisoners in the prison, and my lord asked me to keep an eye on it." You're going to have to be more conspicuous these days, and if something goes out of the way, your head won't be enough to cut off. ”

"Thank you for the mention! The little one has been in prison day and night for the past few days, and he will not let any thieves make trouble. The cell leader, Liu Datao, immediately patted his chest vigorously and reassured. The thin chest made onlookers worry about being slapped in.

"Hmm. What is the situation in prison? Did the new officers ever cause trouble? ”

Liu Datao smashed his mouth and replied: "More than a dozen prisoners are honest and tight, and there is no movement. For those errand servants, the little ones are all served with good wine and meat, and they are drunk every day, so they send to Yihong Courtyard to find a few sisters to accompany them. ”

Master Qian was very satisfied when he heard this, and said casually as he walked towards the cell: "You did a good job!" If there is anything in the future, you can come to me directly. ”

Liu Datao was overjoyed, he knew that the thing he was about to send should have scratched the itch of the other party. This Master Qian's face is equivalent to that of the prefect in Anlu Mansion. hugged this thick thigh, not to mention walking sideways in Anlu Mansion in the future, at least when you go to Yihong Courtyard, there will be a top sister who will take the initiative to send a leather cup, which is like spending money now to take a look and wait for the other party to be in a good mood.

Master Qian walked into the cell, waved the others to stay where they were, and walked to the cell where Li was the only one. He saw that the other party seemed to be sleeping, and said directly: "Li Weiwei, the adult has promised to help you find a way, at least so that you don't have to go to jail." ”

After hearing this, Li Weiwei turned around without any surprised look, but said with a smile: "I knew that Master Zhou would have a way." In fact, it's very simple, as long as Tian Huaying or Han Pingsan in prison dies 'accidentally'. ”

"You don't have to worry about this kind of thing, the adults will arrange it. Now you can tell the whereabouts of the books, right? Master Qian interrupted Li Weiwei's words and went straight to the point.

Li Weiwei's face was gloomy, his mind became more sensitive and suspicious after experiencing this incident, and his words were no longer as respectful as before. "Master Qian, you won't wake up and be confused, right? Look at me like this, how can I trust Lord Zhou or you? When I was investigated by Sun Yongcheng, no one said a word for me. ”

Master Qian didn't expect Li Weiwei to be so ignorant, so he suppressed his anger and said, "Li Weiwei, do you think Master Zhou has time to play with you?" As long as you hand over the account book, Master Zhou will naturally find a way to let you out. If you still don't know how to lift, you can only take care of yourself. ”

Li Wei is fearless now, he has fallen to this step of the field, no matter how bad it is, it will not be worse, it is better to break the jar and break it. The prefect Zhou Wudao is very expensive, and he is definitely not willing to collide with the crockpot. "Master Qian, let's show some sincerity and ask for the account books again. I just want to find a place for this remnant of my life, and there is only one thing that can make Lord Zhou feel a little pity. ”

Hearing this, Master Qian knew that Li Weiwei had begun to be desperate, and no conscience or family was in his consideration. Since it is not possible to directly convince the other party to hand over the account books, let's take another way. He went to the place where the jailer was on duty and found Liu Datao and said bluntly: "I want a hard-mouthed prisoner to speak, do you have any way?" ”

Liu Datao stretched out his blood-red tongue and licked his lips, and his short and obscene body unexpectedly revealed a bloodthirsty taste. "Master, you've found the right person, this is a small specialty. The little one followed his father in prison when he was a child, and he has taken over the position of the head of the cell for nearly 30 years, and he has seen countless hard bones. However, in the hands of the villain, no one has survived three hours, and then they will vomit out the pee and mud when they are five or six years old. ”

Master Qian shuddered when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "You can't let outsiders see that you have been tortured." ”

"This is also simple, just leave things to the master. Thousands of pound pendants, sticking plus officials, bamboo bridges to cross immortals, and set bamboo Dingchun more than a dozen fancy tricks, even a man who beats iron will regret going to the world. The villain still remembers that ten years ago, there was a Jiangyang thief who refused to explain where the stolen goods were hidden, and within two hours he cried and called his mother and grandpa. Hey, hey, hey......" said and smashed his mouth a few times, which looked a little aftertaste.

Master Qian heard and hurriedly said, "Okay, then this matter will be handed over to you." You ask Tian Huaying to tell me where the account books are, don't ask anything else, tell me tomorrow morning. ”

Liu Datao put away the look on his face, "Master, don't worry!" After saying that, he sent Master Qian away, and beckoned a few jailers to hurry into the cell. He had two tall jailers rush into the cell, gagged Li with a ball of rags, and set him into the punishment room. Liu Datao saw that there was still a ghostly atmosphere inside, two torches and a brazier were burning weakly, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath and muttered: "It's still a familiar taste!" ”。

Li Weiwei trembled on both legs when he heard this, and following the flickering firelight, he saw dried blood stains all over the walls, and even scratches left by his fingernails. Then he turned to look at the various torture instruments, which seemed to have broken flesh and bones, and other unknown things. He struggled incessantly, and his mouth gagged by rags let out a "woo... Woo... Woo", but I couldn't break free.

The jailers fastened the rope that Li Wei had made of a special cotton cloth and then removed the rag that was gagged in his mouth, knowing that the boss was especially fond of hearing the screams of the prisoners. The louder the prisoner's screams, the more excited Liu Datao became.

Li Weiwei was brought here, and he knew that Master Qian was using torture to extract confessions. Although he trembled at this time, he still refused to give in, and just stared at the cell boss. Because he knew that once he told the whereabouts of the account books, there was no possibility of escape.

Liu Datao looked at this somewhat special "guest" with great interest, and then shouted to the jailer: "You guys are ready, take out your housekeeping skills, so as not to let the guests say that we don't know how to be polite." The heart of the reader is high. ”

A jailer leaned over and asked, "Yes, sir." Which do you think to start with? Do you want to put a stamp on it first, and leave a mark? The soldering iron had been burning in the charcoal basin, and the smell of burnt human flesh hadn't been smelled for a long time, so I panicked. ”

Liu Datao raised his hand to the back of the jailer's head and was a spatula, "What is it?" That's it! This turned out to be the county magistrate, and he had to be served well. Well, let's hang in the air first, so that the official master can swing in the air for a while to wake up. ”

The beaten jailer was not annoyed, touched his head and said with a smile: "Gotcha! Brothers, come and give me a hand. So, several jailers lifted Li Weiwei under a thick wooden frame more than a foot high, first pulled a rope from the shelf to tie his feet together, then pulled down another two ropes to tie his shoulders from his back, and then pulled up three ropes to hang Li Weiwei in the air. At this time, Li Wei was facing the ground, his feet and shoulders were facing up, like a broken sack that had been hoisted, and he screamed and broke out in a cold sweat. At first, I could grit my teeth and hold back, but as the jailer tightened the rope, the pain went deep into the bone marrow, "Ah! Yes! Yes......! For the first time, he experienced the cruelty of the jailers, and it turned out that this was what happened to the prisoners he had sentenced in the past.

Liu Datao heard Li's only miserable howl, and kept patting his thighs and laughing, as if he had found something interesting. After a while, he saw that Li Weiwei's face began to turn from red to purple, and his voice began to turn low, and he waved his hand to let the two jailers use long wooden sticks to hold Li Weiwei's arm horizontally, giving him a chance to breathe. Liu Datao said jokingly: "Master Li, let's say it happily, don't find guilt for yourself." There are dozens of similar punishments here, brother, if you want to have fun with me, just hold on. ”

Li Wei took a few big breaths, and waited until he was sober before he said intermittently: "Hugh... Think! I don't... Will make... Zhou Wu... The way has succeeded. ”

Liu Datao beckoned to continue, so the screams continued, repeating several times. After a while, Li Weiwei was woken up by the jailer splashing cold water, and felt a heart-piercing pain coming from his back, and he wanted to die immediately. Liu Datao opened the small iron window that had been closed next to him, and the bright moonlight came in from outside. In the moonlight, the chamber is intertwined with black, red, and white, creating a ghostly color. "Lord Li, you see how good the moonlight is tonight, I don't know if you can see it tomorrow night. The villain is a cell boss with no rank and no quality, and all he can do is to entertain the adults well. After Liu Datao finished speaking to Li Weiwei, he said to the jailer: "Use the sticker to add officials!" Don't hurt Lord Lee's decency. ”

Li Weiwei, who had just been put down from the wooden frame, didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately struggled violently and screamed when he heard the word "Tie Jiaguan". "Don't! Kill me. Yes! Yes!! He had seen in a wild history that the court had used this kind of punishment on eunuchs in the court, first put a piece of mulberry paper on the prisoner's face, and the prisoner had a mouthful of water in his mouth, and sprayed it vigorously to form a burst of mist, and the mulberry paper was soft due to moisture, and immediately clung to the prisoner's face. Then the prisoner will then put on a second sheet, and the same will be done until there are more than five sheets. In this process, the inmate will have a sense of death brought about by suffocation, infinitely close to death but unable to die for a while. When he watched it at the time, Li Weiwei felt creepy, and now that he knew that he was about to experience it for himself, he immediately collapsed a little, and his face was a little distorted because of extreme fear.
