It was nearly three watches, but the second hall of the governor's yamen was still brightly lit, and Ye Tianzu, Cui Xianhe, Pei Xuan and other officials were present, and they were frowning deeply at the moment, and their faces were full of uneasiness. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Just now, they had interrogated An Li, who had just been brought in, overnight. But as a result, this father-in-law An kept claiming that he was wronged by Jinyiwei, and only said that the theft of the silver treasury had nothing to do with him. As for the large amount of silver that was found from his house, he insisted that it was not treasury silver, but he refused to tell the true origin of the silver.

In fact, how did these officials not know the origin of the silver, since An Li refused to say it directly, they could only pretend to be stupid and no longer investigate it in detail. But in this way, this case has become untenable, relying only on some specious so-called evidence currently in hand, it may be possible to convict an ordinary person, but An Li is a person in the palace, even if they have the ability to reverse black and white, they don't have the guts.

There is only some inconclusive evidence, but no confession from the perpetrator, making it difficult for the case to continue is an area of headache for the officials. But this is not the most fatal, the most serious thing is that they have learned from Tang Feng that this matter has been known to Dongchang Fanzi, but they are afraid that at this time they have already passed this news to the capital.

Finally, after being silent for a long time, Ye Tianzu said a little dryly: "A few adults, have you come up with any countermeasures?" ”

His gaze swept over the faces of several people one by one, and the faces of those who were swept by him added a bit of helplessness and apprehension. It was still Pei Xuan, the person with the lowest status, who didn't dare to do his best and said: "Xiaguan has an idea, maybe he can make this case more solid." ”

"Oh? But what is the solution? Ye Tianzu hurriedly asked.

"When the murder occurred in Lan Guifang that day, there were witnesses who saw the perpetrator leave. The lower officials will ask the witness to directly identify that person as An Jizong. In this way, it is not so abrupt to point out that the mastermind of this case is An Li. Pei Xuan said his idea.

This is indeed not difficult, as long as he Pei Zhifu orders, the pleasure seeker who witnessed someone leaving Lan Kwai Fong will indeed state accordingly. But even so, there was not much joy on the faces of the others, for they knew very well that this alone was not enough to convict.

In fact, they know very well that it is not impossible to make An Li confess, as long as the punishment is moved, the body and bones that have always been pampered and pampered by An's father-in-law will definitely not be able to stand it. However, their special status made them dare not torture him. Because once An Li returned to Jingliang and suffered injuries, it would be clear that all the money he recruited was obtained from the torture of Hangzhou officials, not only would the case be reversed, but they would not be able to eat and walk around.

In this way, Eunuch An became an untouchable suspect, and he refused to confess, so things could only freeze here. But there won't be much time left for them, and the case must be settled before Feng Bao and the others make a move.

After another period of silence, Ye Tianzu finally made a decision. He suddenly looked at Tang Feng, who had been sitting at the bottom and had never spoken: "Tang Qianhu, I have to bother you Jinyi Wei to take action in this matter." As far as this official knows, Jinyiwei has his own set of interrogations, and please don't shirk! ”

"This ......," Tang Feng was furious when he heard this. What is this, shirking responsibility? They knew that the set that Jin Yiwei was good at couldn't be used on An Li, who couldn't be punished, didn't this make them embarrassed? But everyone is in the same boat, and when it comes to Jinyiwei, he hopes to die and leave in peace, so it's really hard to refuse for a while.

Just as Tang Feng was embarrassed and thinking about how to refuse politely, he suddenly found that Yang Zhen had stabbed himself lightly behind his back. He turned his head suspiciously, and saw Yang Zhen nodding slightly at him, this was to ask him to answer this errand.

Although he didn't know what Yang Zhen's plans were, Tang Feng, who was paying more and more attention to his ability, still planned to believe him this time, so he agreed to this difficult errand: "Since Lord Ye has commanded, Xia Guan has no choice but to do his best." But if we really can't do it, please don't blame it. But in the end, he left a little way out.

"This officer believes in the abilities of your Jinyi Guard. But time is running out, I hope Tang Qianhu can get the confession we want from An Li in these two days! Ye Tianzu said and seemed to feel that this was a bit unauthentic, so he added: "If there is anything you need our help with, you can also bring it up." ”

At this time, Yang Zhen spoke: "Lord Ye, we want to talk to Gonggong An alone now, and ask your Excellency to send away all the people who are guarding him." Plus, we wanted something. ”

"Huh?" Ye Tianzu was slightly stunned, wondering in his heart that they were going to torture An Li? But then he nodded and said, "Then do what you want." If you want anything, just say hello to the people below. I am waiting for your good news. ”

Walking out of the second hall, Tang Feng couldn't help but say, "Erlang, what idea do you have, can you really make An Li confess?" ”

"I just thought of a punishment that must make An Li can't bear it and obediently confess." Yang Zhen said with a smile. On the way back from the detainee, he was already thinking about how to deal with this "prisoner" who was as difficult as a hedgehog, until he finally had a perfect idea.

But Tang Feng was not as sure as he was: "When it comes to torture, we Jinyiwei have the means to force people to confess." But his identity, if he leaves any wounds because of this, may be reversed afterwards. ”

"What if my approach doesn't leave any wounds?" Yang Zhen said and explained his method to Tang Feng in detail. After listening to his explanation, Tang Feng's eyes lit up, and he also felt that it was feasible: "I really don't know how you came up with such a punishment, it seems that you are really born to be a brocade guard!" After praising it, he said with some skepticism: "Can this really be done?" ”

"Hundreds of households just rest assured, this matter will definitely be done!" Yang Zhen is very sure of authenticity.

Although it was approaching the fourth watch, An Li's father and son did not feel sleepy. Because they had not yet been convicted, they were not thrown into prison, but were imprisoned in a chamber in the governor's yamen. Of course, their situation is still not good, and their bodies are tied up with flowers, and they can't even move.

At this time, An Jizong asked again a question that he had asked dozens of times with some fear: "Dad, are we really going to be fine?" ”

An Li was a little annoyed by his son's questioning, but he still comforted: "Don't worry, the evidence in their hands is insufficient, and they can't convict us." Hmph, as long as the news is transmitted back to the capital and Gonggong Feng says hello, we can go out in style. When the time comes, see how I fix the mess! ”

As soon as his words fell, the closed door was suddenly pushed open from outside, and a mocking voice sounded: "Grandpa An is really optimistic." They have all become prisoners, and they are still thinking about how to rectify us. But I don't know if you overestimate yourself, or underestimate our Jinyiwei? ”

Hearing this familiar and hateful voice, An Li's whole face twisted again, and his eyes seemed to be about to burst into flames and stare at the door: "You little Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi dare to speak to us like this." Our family swears that as long as you go out of this door, you will be allowed to live and not die! ”

It was Tang Feng and Yang Zhen who came in and a few other Jinyi guards, and it was the latter who spoke, and the last two Jinyi guards were carrying two wooden barrels full of water in their hands. After the two men had put the bucket down, he waved them out of the door and kept them out of the door.

Seeing the malicious smiles of these people after they came in, An Li's father and son's hearts slammed up. An Jizong couldn't help but shout: "What are you going to do? My father is a person in the palace, if you dare to touch our cold hair, you will definitely not be able to explain it when the time comes! ”

Looking at his fierce appearance, Yang Zhen laughed again: "Father-in-law An, you also think that we will use some means against you, right?" ”

"Hmph, I don't think you have the guts! It's just trying to scare people. Although An Li was uneasy in his heart, he still stiffened.

"Father-in-law An, so far, I advise you to cooperate obediently, then you can suffer less. Otherwise, even if we don't want to, we can only offend. As he spoke, Yang Zhen had already taken out two pieces of coarse cloth from his sleeve.

This cloth is three feet square, and it is the most common cloth among the people. I saw Yang Zhen carefully fold it twice, and it was folded to the size of a human face before putting it aside.

Seeing him like this, An Li felt even more nervous in his heart, but he still didn't believe what they would do to him, so he just said: "We didn't steal the treasury silver at all, why do we have to admit this crime?" If you want to borrow a knife to kill someone, I advise you to save your energy! ”

"Baihu, it seems that they really don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin. Torture, right? Yang Zhen asked Tang Feng's opinion.

The latter nodded slightly, and pointed at An Li: "Let's start with him." ”

At the sound of an order, a brocade guard behind him stepped forward and kicked over the chair under Anli. He was completely unprepared, and he couldn't get up even when his body was tied, and with a cry of surprise, he fell to the ground along with the chair.

"What are you going to do!" An Jizong screamed anxiously when he saw this, but no one paid attention to him at all.

Yang Zhen had already come to An Li at this time, played with the cloth in his hand and said: "Father-in-law An, it's not easy for me to survive this method, give you another chance, are you willing to confess?" ”

He was responded with a cold snort, and An Li had closed his eyes.

Yang Zhen didn't laugh angrily, the coarse cloth in his hand was already covered on An Li's face, and then ordered: "Bring him a few scoops of water to taste!" ”

The captain of Jinyi on the side had already scooped up a scoop of water and waited there, and when he heard this, he poured all the water on An Li's face without hesitation. Then, there is the second scoop, the third scoop.

It wasn't until after splashing three scoops that Yang Zhen said: "Stop!" ”

When everyone looked at An Li again, they found that he had changed dramatically......
