Chapter 20: Extorting Confessions by Torture

Lu Bu's mansion, on the martial arts training ground. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Jiang Feng danced the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand vigorously, and the red rabbit horse also moved with Jiang Feng's moves, one person and one horse seemed to be one, and if they advanced, they would attack together, and if they retreated, they would defend together.

Suddenly, Jiang Feng pulled out a spear, but the strength in his hand was not mastered well, Fang Tian's halberd came out of his hand, turned over two heel spear heads and stuck them on the ground.

Jiang Feng sighed and jumped off the red rabbit horse.

Since Jiang Feng replaced Lu Bu, he has hardly practiced martial arts in the past month, and when he practiced today, he found that some hands were born. Practicing martial arts is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

You must know that Lu Bu himself is a martial arts idiot, and he usually has three hobbies: drinking, listening to music, and practicing. But Jiang Feng is not Lu Bu, and he really doesn't have much interest in practicing, not to mention that when it is in the scorching heat, he sweats profusely when he moves a little, so he is even more lazy to act.

This time, I suddenly remembered the practice, just because I went to the Bingzhou military camp and was moved by the scene of the soldiers training hard. Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and the others did not slack off for a moment, Jiang Feng felt that he was indeed a little lazy, so he made up his mind and asked himself to practice at least one hour a day in the future.

Sure enough, after practicing for an hour, Jiang Feng only felt that he was sweating profusely, as if he had been washed with water. Thanks to a good body, years of exercise have formed a conditioned reflex in the body, and as long as you practice a little, you can feel your hand feeling slowly recovering.

"Master, someone from Sikong Mansion invites you." Seeing that Jiang Feng had collected the weapon, Mingyue obediently handed over the wet towel. Jiang Feng felt a burst of coolness in his hands when he took it, and put a towel on his head, and the cool air relieved the heat on his body.

This little girl is really smart and clever, and Jiang Feng is also very comfortable to serve these days, because she knows that Jiang Feng is afraid of heat, so every time she washes her face, she temporarily puts it in the deep well, and she can have such an effect with the cool air in the well.

Jiang Feng changed his clothes and came to Sikong Mansion, as soon as he entered the door, he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and there was no thunderous laughter from Dong Zhuo in the past, but there was a serious atmosphere. Although he didn't know why, Jiang Feng instinctively felt a dangerous aura, maybe he was a thief, for fear that his affairs would be discovered.

Entering the lobby but seeing no one, the servant led Jiang Feng to the backyard, and then saw Dong Zhuo, who was standing next to Li Ru.

"Lu Bu greets the lord." Jiang Feng was beating a drum in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface.

"Fengxian, come and see this group of people." Dong Zhuo's face was not good, and he pointed to the five people who were tied up in the courtyard.

Jiang Feng took a closer look, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and cold sweat broke down a little. Because one of them he had seen was the housekeeper who brought the rag doll into Lu Zhi's mansion that day. The others were also Lu Zhi's domestic servants, and they were all captured by Dong Zhuo's cavalry when Lu Zhi fled.

This housekeeper is too important, he knows all the people who have been to Lu Zhi's house, and he knows about the rag doll, if he reveals all this, then he is likely to be in danger. Thinking of this, the fist in Jiang Feng's hand tightened unconsciously.

The only thing to be thankful for is that even Lu Zhi didn't know that the rag doll was given away by himself, so the housekeeper shouldn't know who the owner of the rag doll is. Fortunately, I didn't think too much about it at the beginning, I only thought about saving Lu Zhi's family, and I forgot to report my name, but I didn't expect to escape because of this.

For the first time in his life, Jiang Feng was glad because of his clumsiness, maybe this is a fool who is a fool.

But Jiang Feng was not happy at all, Dong Zhuo was obviously premeditated Lu Zhi had just left, Dong Zhuo sent people to chase and kill, and captured his housekeeper and domestic servants, this is to torture the same party, it is really a good strategy to catch it all. Jiang Feng couldn't help but feel a little frightened, and finally understood what it meant to lose all the games by accident, he just wanted to give Lu Zhi a favor, but he almost took his own life, it was not worth it, and it was not wise.

You have to be more cautious in the future, this time you are lucky, and next time you don't know if you have such luck.

"Say, who else is secretly colluding with Lu Zhi?" Dong Zhuo asked sharply.

Several domestic servants were scolded by Dong Zhuo, and they were so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said again and again: "The general spares his life, we are willing to explain." ā€

Only the housekeeper, with cold eyebrows, completely ignored Dong Zhuo's ruthless methods, and said to a few people: "Spineless things, how does Duke Lu treat you on weekdays?" But now you will turn your back on the Lord for glory? ā€

The four people looked at each other, their faces were ashamed, and they stopped talking, and they stopped talking.

Dong Zhuo snorted coldly and said, "If you don't say it, then you will have to suffer some flesh and skin, come and call me." ā€

Several Xiliang soldiers stepped forward after hearing the order, set up these people, and greeted several people in the face and body with wooden sticks, and several people were instantly beaten to the point that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and blood flowed all over the ground.

"I've said it all, I've said it all. There are squires Li Cheng, school captain Cai Yue and Shangshu Guo Huan also sent people to send letters. A domestic servant couldn't stand the torture and spoke out in one go.

Jiang Feng's heart had already risen to his throat, although he knew that his identity was currently confidential, but he was unwilling to let people reveal anything about the rag doll, the more things were revealed, the more dangerous his situation became. What you do is not leaky, if you have the heart to investigate, it is difficult to ensure that you will not be found out by Shun Teng.

"Well, good, anything else? Go on. Dong Zhuo was very satisfied with this person's performance and continued to ask.

Seeing that one person had already confessed, and the others didn't have the courage to hold on, they confessed one after another, and more than a dozen names were recruited like this. Every name represents a large family like Lu Zhi, and the fate of these people has changed. Dong Zhuo will definitely eradicate dissidents and wait for the end of these people, either they will be dismissed from office or imprisoned, and even more likely to be killed.

The only thing that makes Jiang Feng happy is that these people don't seem to know about the rag doll, maybe this matter can disappear.

All four of the servants confessed, and in the end, only the butler was left without saying anything.

The old housekeeper is over fifty years old, his beard and hair are a little gray, and he is already dying of breath after being beaten with a water and fire stick, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

"What about you?" Dong Zhuo also turned his gaze to the housekeeper and asked.

"Old thief, puppet, if you have the courage to kill me, I will not say anything. Bah! The old housekeeper spat bloody phlegm towards Dong Zhuo, but he couldn't spit it out Dong Zhuo at all.

The old butler now knew that he had no hope of survival, and what he wanted to do was to provoke Dong Zhuo and make him kill him quickly. However, Dong Zhuo didn't want to let him die so simply, and said, "I see if you have a hard mouth or a hard bone." ā€

With a wave of his hand, a Xiliang soldier stepped forward with a hammer, picked up the hammer and smashed it directly on the old butler's right hand, only to hear a crisp sound of bone cracking, the old butler screamed with a cracking voice, the finger bones had been smashed by the hammer, the flesh and blood on the fingers, and the white bones were exposed.

The four servants trembled when they saw it, and they were all secretly glad that they confessed early and would not suffer such a great punishment. The old butler was twitching in pain, and his whole right hand trembled uncontrollably.

"I'll recruit, I'll recruit ......," said the old butler in a faint voice.

Jiang Feng's heart sank, did he still not bear it? If he confesses, I'm afraid he won't be able to save his own affairs, thinking of this, Jiang Feng's heart that he had just let go of was raised again.

"Say, speak louder." Because the old butler's voice was already very low, and the words behind him couldn't be heard clearly, Dong Zhuo took two steps forward and continued to ask.

At this moment, the old housekeeper suddenly returned to the light, jumped up and rushed straight to Dong Zhuo, the old housekeeper's hand was already useless, but there were still teeth available, so he was about to bite Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was taken aback, but his reaction was not slow, he pressed the old butler's shoulder, and drank: "You are so bold." ā€

Seeing that his plan had failed, the old butler bit hard, bit off his tongue, sprayed a mouthful of blood on Dong Zhuo's face, laughed three times, and said, "Old thief, how can I beg you for mercy?" ā€

Dong Zhuo was furious, kicked the old housekeeper in the chest, and kicked the old housekeeper three or four meters away.

The sergeant looked over and saw that the old butler had already choked his last breath.

Jiang Feng looked at the tragic and tragic scene in front of him and couldn't help but be moved. He wondered if he could sacrifice himself for righteousness if he fell to this point, or would he turn his back on his lord and surrender? Jiang Feng didn't know. On the other hand, Jiang Feng was thinking, if his subordinates were caught, would they be able to keep a secret for themselves?

Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others, Jiang Feng knows the loyalty of these two people through history. As for the others, Jiang Feng couldn't be sure.

Dong Zhuo said angrily: "Fengxian, you immediately lead the troops to arrest these people in the name of plotting rebellion, and I want them to know the fate of disobeying me." ā€

Li Ru said: "My lord, this matter should not be rushed, if the court officials are arrested with such fanfare, it is difficult to ensure that the hearts of the government and the opposition will not be disturbed." ā€

Dong Zhuo said: "A certain family was too kind to them before, so that they felt fearless, if these people are not severely punished, they still think I am a bully." ā€

Li Ru said again: "My lord, there are a lot of people involved in this matter, but most of the officials are just grass on the wall and selling personal favors, and they are not really against the lord. It is better to kill a hundred and make an example, so that in the future, hundreds of officials will inevitably bow down and obey orders. ā€

Seeing that Dong Zhuo was a little hesitant, Jiang Feng also hurriedly said: "What Gong Li said is reasonable, and the lord thinks twice." ā€

Dong Zhuo said: "Okay, Li Ru, you are responsible for this matter, and you must investigate it strictly." Find out a few dishonest, I'm going to make an example of the monkeys. ā€
