However, it was said that Li Congjing brought Kang Yicheng back to the city from the military camp, and immediately took him to Dali Temple, and he was not promoted to the hall for interrogation, so he was directly thrown into prison. Kang Yicheng tried everything to defend at first, but after being gagged by Meng Songbai, he had to be honest.
When he arrived at Dali Temple, seeing that Li Congjing had no intention of going to the hall for interrogation, nor did he directly throw him into prison, but took him directly to a gloomy and obscure place, seeing a room full of torture instruments, burning fires, and mottled bloodstains, Kang Yicheng's face couldn't help but change greatly, his round eyes looked at Li Congjing, and he twisted his body and whined.
Li Congjing came to the house, someone brought a high chair for him, Li Congjing sat down on the chair, and with a wave of his hand, Meng Songbai pressed Kang Yicheng to one, I don't know how many death row prisoners have done, on the cold wooden chair, the whole body and limbs were tied.
When the officials of Dali Temple heard the news, they were all waiting beside Li Congjing, from the Shaoqing of the Sipin Dali Temple to the Jiupin Record, without a word, just looking at Kang Yicheng coldly. There are also other officials and officials who perform their duties, coming and going to prepare for criminal arrest, sitting behind the bookcase and grinding, preparing to write a record, and the appearance of everyone driving lightly makes Kang Yicheng full of knowledge about what he will face next, and his heart can't help but feel cold.
Meng Songbai was finally willing to remove the cloth from Kang Yicheng's mouth, and the latter looked at Li Congjing in shock and anger, and shouted: "Your Highness brought a certain person directly into this place without a trial, is it intended to be privately punished?" Dare to ask what crime did a certain person commit, so that His Highness should be so disregarded for the law? ā
Li Congjing looked at Kang Yicheng, who looked excited, his eyes were calm, and his tone was light, "You are not qualified to ask Lone's question, and Lone doesn't need to answer you, now that you are a prisoner, Lone is the main judge, you can answer Lone's question truthfully." ā
Saying that, waving his hand, the little official of Dali Temple held a torture instrument in his hand, approaching Kang Yicheng's body, Li Congjing continued: "Lone's question, you only have one chance to answer, if Lone is not satisfied, I will cut off your finger." Now, answer Lone, who are you? ā
As the commander of the guards and the pro-army Ma Bujun, how majestic he is on weekdays, how has he ever been treated like this, Kang Yicheng's heart is full of anger, hearing Li Congjing's words, thinking that he is going to ask something, he is secretly thinking about it, and when he suddenly heard the last question, he couldn't help but be stunned, "What?" ā
The corners of Li Congjing's mouth moved slightly, slightly disdainful.
The executioner had a look, and immediately stepped forward, couldn't help but say, pulled out Kang Yicheng's index finger, and slammed it hard, only to hear a crisp sound, and the finger was broken.
Ten fingers connected to the heart, Kang Yicheng was caught off guard, suddenly let out a miserable scream, his face suddenly turned pale, he looked at Li Congjing, his eyes were full of hatred.
Li Congjing looked at Kang Yicheng, "Lone has no time to talk nonsense to you, now answer Lone, who are you?" ā
Kang Yicheng deserved to be a man, gritted his teeth and said: "If you are so unreasonable and contemptuous of the law, even if you are a prince, you will ...... in the future Yes! ā
Before he finished speaking, his middle finger was also broken, and the two fingers were twisted and cocked, which was doubly terrifying.
Li Congjing rubbed his neck, "Who are you?" ā
Cold sweat broke out on Kang Yicheng's forehead, but he still gritted his teeth, just glared at Li Congjing, his gaze was like a sword, and he had already poked hundreds of holes in Li Congjing's body.
Li Congjing said: "It's not okay if you don't answer." ā
There was another crisp sound, and Kang Yicheng's ring finger was also broken, and at this time, Kang Yicheng's body trembled slightly.
Li Congjing stood up, came to Kang Yicheng, leaned over and looked at him, "It is said that those who are greedy for money must be reluctant, and the reason why you can stand up is that you seem to be too kind." When people come, paper and water are served. ā
Li Congjing ignored Kang Yicheng's red eyes and returned to his seat. Two small officials of five big and three thick came over with a bucket of water and a pile of white paper, and another person grabbed Kang Yicheng's hair and made his head rise, and one of the small officials spread a piece of paper on Kang Yicheng's face, and then poured a scoop of water, and so on, and after a while, Kang Yicheng's face was covered with several layers of wet paper, and it was difficult to breathe, but it was not completely breathless.
It is said that this method can make people clearly perceive that death is approaching, even those who are mentally tough and can withstand the bloody punishment, and they can't endure the fear.
Li Congjing sat on the wooden chair, "You may think that as the commander of the guards and the pro-army Ma Budu, the status is noble, and you dare not really kill you, you may also think that as a general who is quite trusted by His Majesty, His Majesty will remember your old feelings, and you may even think that the rectification of the government never lynched and killed...... Lone will tell you now, in front of Datang's Jiangshan Sheji, you are not bullshit, Lone wants to kill you, it is as simple as crushing an ant to death. Don't doubt Lone's words, Lone has never been a soft-hearted person, but over the years, everyone has been used to calling Lone a virtuous king, and has forgotten Lone's past methods. When dealing with enemies, there is no benevolence and morality in Lone's heart. ā
"Don't let General Kang 'fall asleep', give me something refreshing." Li Congjing waved his hand, and his own little official stepped forward with a hideous face, rudely and accurately plucked out Kang Yicheng's nails, one by one.
Kang Yicheng was having difficulty breathing, like an abyss, constantly falling, and suddenly felt a huge pain, and he couldn't help but breathe vigorously, but this breath only made the wet paper stick tighter on his face.
That wasn't the end of it, the little man pulled out his nails, sprinkled salt on the bloody wound, and kneaded it vigorously. Kang Yicheng's limbs twitched in pain, but he couldn't shout, like a fish swinging around in a dying way.
Li Congjing saw that the heat was about the same, and asked them to remove the wet paper from Kang Yicheng's face. As soon as the wet paper left his face, Kang Yicheng let out a scream like a pig, panting heavily, his whole body was soaked with sweat, his chest rose and fell violently, his ten fingers were bleeding non-stop, and he tried to disturb the heart-wrenching salt on his fingers, but he couldn't reach it, and finally he could only collapse on the chair with all his strength.
This miserable appearance did not move Li Congjing in the slightest, and his tone was still flat, "Gu has never been a good person, so General Kang had better not challenge Gu's patience." In the Khitan Lone can personally put 200,000 Khitan soldiers into the furnace, let them kill each other, and 100,000 corpses in a few days, today to you, a generation that harms the country and the people, even if you are Ling Chi in front of Lone, cut into a thousand pieces of minced meat, Lone will not blink an eye. Now, tell Lonely, who are you? ā
Kang Yicheng's hands kept trembling, the blood dripping from his ten fingers kept dripping, his body twitched occasionally, he hung his head in a cloak, laughed, his voice was weak but still unwilling: "Li Congjing, it fell into your hands today, a certain is a fish and meat, you are a knife, you are not aware of it for a certain time, and you are willing to admit it." What do you want, just ask, you can't go around in circles! ā
Li Congjing shook his head.
The little official understood, grabbed Kang Yicheng's head, and covered his face with wet paper again.
Kang Yicheng is like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered, constantly struggling, his body swinging around, but it has no effect, and he can't even make a sound.
Li Congjing was like a demon, looking at Kang Yicheng calmly, "Lone has already said that in front of Lone, you are not bullshit, so don't try to avoid Lone's routine and speak in your own way." Do you think that in this way, there is still a little bit of your poor dignity left? You are wrong, Kang Yicheng, when you are an enemy of Datang, when you betray Your Majesty's trust in you, in the world of Datang, you are destined to no longer have dignity, and there will be no more. Don't doubt Lone's means of dealing with the enemy, there is really no bottom line for treating the enemy, in Lone's eyes, you are no different from a grass and a tree. ā
Kang Yicheng's struggles became smaller and smaller, and the twisting of his limbs became more and more weak, and he seemed to have no movement.
Li Congjing waved his hand, signaling for the punishment to be withdrawn, and when Kang Yicheng barely breathed a sigh of relief, he continued to ask, "Who are you?" ā
Kang Yicheng drooped his head, his hair was like a weed, and the saliva in his mouth flowed out uncontrollably, "Kang...... Kang Yicheng, the guards and the pro-army Ma Bujun are all commanding the envoys......"
Li Congjing showed a faint smile, "Very good." ā
......
Coming out of Dali Temple, it was already night, the fifth girl took people to wait outside the official temple, Li Congjing handed over the things that Kang Yicheng confessed to the fifth girl, "Show this to Kong Xun, he will naturally stop returning to Bianzhou and come to Luoyang again." ā
Someone has been sent to stop Kong Xun before, whether the latter wants to or not, the Military Intelligence Department can make him unable to leave, but this method of forcible detention cannot last too long, otherwise not only Kong Xun will be more angry with the imperial court, but the Xuanwu Army may also send elites to rob people, this does not mean that Kong Xun will be snatched away in the end, but the reason why the Military Intelligence Department does not directly bring Kong Xun back is to treat Kong Xun and him with gentle means, so that Kong Xun understands the intentions of the imperial court, and is willing to deal with the follow-up matters of the Xuanwu Army for the imperial court.
Kang Yicheng is the enemy, Kong Xun is not.
Kang Yicheng explained very clearly that the generals and colonels of the Xuanwu Army who conspired with him had a lot of influence and could control a large part of the strength of the Xuanwu Army, and under the effect of blind obedience, they could control the Xuanwu Army.
Kang Yicheng and the Xuanwu Army's plan was to force Kong Xun to rebel, and now that Kang Yicheng has been arrested, no matter whether Kong Xun returns to Bianzhou or not, those Xuanwu Army generals and colonels have to rebel.
The rebellion of the Xuanwu Army is basically irrepressible, but whether there is Kong Xun, the envoy of the Xuanwu Army, to attack and persuade the Xuanwu Army to surrender together with the imperial army, the situation is very different.
After the fifth girl left, Li Congjing entered the palace at night, discussed the matter with Li Siyuan, and quickly made arrangements.
Next, the Military Intelligence Department replied that Kong Xun was willing to continue to enter Beijing.
- Of course he wants to continue to enter Beijing, after being betrayed by the Xuanwu army, what will he do when he goes back?
In the two days that he waited for Kong Xun to come to Luoyang quickly, Li Congjing had generally handled the final work of the rectification of Luoyang's officials, and the next things could be handed over to the two prime ministers and the three divisions to deal with.
But Kang Yicheng didn't have to wait until after the autumn, he was going to be used to sacrifice the flag.
When Li Congjing interrogated Kang Yicheng, the other party confessed to those feudal towns that were connected with him, combined with the information Li Congjing received before, Li Congjing suspected that these feudal towns would follow the Xuanwu army and make a big fuss.
After Li Siyuan and Li Congjing discussed, they decided to strike first.
50,000 troops in front of the palace, except for Li Congzhang's headquarters in Xichuan, the three armies of Hengchong, Longxiang and Huwei followed Li Congrong's southern expedition, and there were still 100 battle troops stationed in Luoyang.
