612 Torture
It seems that I have heard some amazing secrets!
God, that poison is commonly used in the court!
But the next sentence that King Fu said next made his heart beat even more.
"Then the son found this in the spy body."
As he spoke, King Fu raised his hands above his head and presented the waist card engraved with the words "Luwangfu".
Ma Yongcheng glanced at it, and suddenly his eyes were dull-Luwangfu? Did someone from Luwangfu do it? There was a storm in his heart, and his thinking was a little disordered for a while, and only one voice echoed in his mind - all the sons competed for the throne!
What Ma Yongcheng can see, there is no reason why Emperor Zhengde can't see it.
He trembled and took the waist card in his hand, looked at it over and over again, and finally determined that this waist card was definitely genuine, and it could not be an imitation! And looking at the year, it's at least seven or eight years old.
Emperor Zhengde's voice was clearly trembling: "What you said is true? β
"Erchen's subordinates, Qi Zuo, Shi Dazhu, an officer of the Wuyi Army, the ambassador of the Huitong Pavilion and other cadres, they all witnessed it with their own eyes, and they can all testify!" King Fu said in a deep voice.
Emperor Zhengde also knew that he would never dare to lie about this kind of thing, so the face of this supreme immediately became very exciting, he breathed heavily, and his voice was extremely heavy. Although King Fu didn't dare to raise his head, he could imagine that in his heart, anger was brewing!
"How did you deal with this?" Zhengde took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed his anger, and asked with a blushing face.
It's about his face. An important matter related to Daming's face!
"The only one who got the news was Erchen. Erchen has given gag orders to all those who know. And he instructed the ambassador to tell only the idlers that the flash of a fire was a fire in the kitchen. I talked to those guests again, and they all agreed not to spread the word. King Fu replied.
"Okay, you're doing a great job." Zhengde breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "Come all the way, I'm afraid I'm tired, you go to see your mother, go down and rest!" β
"Yes. Sons obey! β
King Fu respectfully kowtowed to say goodbye, then stood up and left cautiously.
As soon as he walked out of the door of the imperial study, he heard a loud bang inside, as if something had been overturned, and then came the angry voice of Emperor Zhengde: "Go, let the second rebel come to see me!" This one kills a thousand knives! β
A sneer appeared on the corner of King Fu's mouth: "Second brother, I'm sorry." But when you counted me, did you think of the present? β
ββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββ
In the camp of Jingnan. A large courtyard close to the former Lian Zining Presidential Palace, the west wing.
This is a torture room set up by Wu Yijun in the camp in Jingnan.
The torture chambers under this world may not all be ordinary. It's just that you can't get rid of the words 'bloody horror'.
The door to the wing room was covered with a thick curtain.
Lift the curtain open, and a hot smell comes. This place is very large, more than ten zhang long. It is three zhang wide, and the four walls are covered with thick quilts. No matter how loud the screams were inside, they couldn't reach the outside at all. The house was lit with fire. There was a large stove on the ground, and in it were placed some iron drills, thin sticks, iron tongs, iron hooks, and other things, all of which had been burned red, and it looked chilling. In addition, there is a large table next to it, on which are also slowed down all kinds of strange torture instruments. And on the four walls, there are also hanging torture instruments, and on the right hand side of the door until the end, there are also many torture instruments, all kinds of things.
To the north, there were more than two dozen crosses, each of which was tied to it, and all of them were dressed in tattered clothes, mottled with dirty blood, and most of them had obvious scars, apparently having been tortured quite severely.
Some of them drooped their heads, not knowing whether they were dead or alive, while a few of them, who had no scars on their bodies, looked around in horror, their eyes showing undisguised fear and despair.
Without exception, all of them, with smooth chins and upper lips, were apparently eunuchs.
A jailer took out an iron rod from the charcoal stove on one side, and the tip of the iron rod was already burning red. He took the iron rod, grinned, and then suddenly stabbed him in front of him.
I heard a stabbing sound, and a scorching smell rose, and the iron rod pierced into the nameless white thigh tied to the cross, and pierced more than an inch deep, and the wound suddenly turned black, and a puff of green smoke came out.
The jailer also turned the iron hammer in the muscles very viciously, and the nameless white had already fainted from being tortured, but after being made like this, he immediately woke up from the pain, and let out a terrible scream that was not like a human voice, and the sound made people listen to it, and they couldn't help but tremble.
Hearing this scream, I saw that my companion was constantly twitching and twisting like a fish scalded to death with hot water, but it turned out that because of the fixation of the iron chain, he couldn't even struggle a little more, and the other nameless whites were all so frightened that their faces turned pale, some were also frightened and screamed together, and some of them were slightly less courageous, and they were directly frightened and cried.
The jailer glanced at everyone and said viciously, "Do you want to say it? Don't tell who that person is, you're next! Let you not survive, you can't die! β
How could those nameless whites ever see such a battle? It's all scared stupid, there is a person who can't help it anymore, and the smell of his feet comes from, but he is already frightened and incontinent, and he cries loudly: "What are you doing beating us?" We don't know! Uncle Wang has always known about these things......"
As he spoke, the heavy curtain was lifted, and several jailers came over with two people, followed by Wang Posan. It was a fighting man like Wang Posan, who couldn't help frowning when he saw this battle, and his face was a little ugly.
It's not homicide. It's a life that makes people regret why they live in this world.
The man in front of him was about twenty years old. A face as white as paper, like a dead man. No, it should be said, it's already dead. There was a big hole in his throat, the size of a fist, as if someone had been thrust into his throat with an iron glove, and then dragged out with a large piece of flesh and blood, and his trachea. He had been dead for an unknown amount of time, and the blood from his wounds had dried up. It was like a fat pig that had been slaughtered, and its blood had been dried, and its skin was a strange dead white.
From the inside of the wound, you can even see the pale spine.
This man is already dead, and he can't die anymore.
The body was pushed to the ground, and the crowd let out another scream of terror.
"This is Lao Liu!"
"Why did Lao Liu die so miserably?"
β¦β¦
The man in the back was hanging his head, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and he was also tied to a cross. The hair was scattered, revealing his face, and if Xiao An was alive, he would definitely be able to recognize it. This person is his amiable and lovely Uncle Wang.
These nameless whites are naturally the nameless whites in the ruined temple where Xiao An went last night. The old wolf and the others have been watching around the Yongwang Mansion for a long time, but they have not gained anything. It was as if the man had gone in and was never going to go out again. Fortunately, there was also the nameless white line in the broken temple, so it was a morning. These nameless white stools were all captured and secretly transported here.
These nameless white households are not registered with the government, they are missing, firstly, the Shuntian Mansion does not know at all, and even if they do, I am afraid they will not care.
In the afternoon, Lian Zining and others also rushed here.
This Uncle Wang's body is also full of large and small scars, his skin is open, and some are still bleeding outside, which looks extremely tragic, and he has obviously been severely tortured.
A basin of ice water was splashed on his body, and he woke up slowly, and as soon as he woke up, the piercing pain in all parts of his body flared up together, making him can't help but hum in pain.
"Are you still hard-mouthed?"
Wang Posan walked up to him and said gloomily: "Say it quickly!" β
His confused eyes instantly became clear, and there was bitter hatred in them, staring at Wang Posan and roaring angrily: "Who are you? Why arrest us? Hit us? Why do you have it? β
"It seems that he still does not repent!" Wang Posan raised his chin one by one, and his subordinates understood, and a jailer was holding a red-hot iron hammer, and walked towards another nameless white with a cruel smile.
Then the next moment, the stench of burnt skin and the man's terrible screams resounded here.
Wang Posan said lightly: "Have you seen it?" This person is what you hurt like this! If you don't say it, I'll change someone, you have to remember that they are all for you to do! β
That Uncle Wang's eyes were resentful, and he stared at Wang Posan deadly.
Then the screams rang out again.
Until the sixth man.
The other nameless people around him had already begun to scold him, and all kinds of resentful and vicious words were thrown over, obviously, everyone could see it now, because his hard mouth caused everyone to suffer here.
This Uncle Wang's face was already drenched in cold sweat, his face was pale and pale, and he was deeply afraid in his heart, if he betrayed the adult, he would definitely die, but if he didn't say it at this time, it would be true, he couldn't survive, he couldn't die!
At this time, Wang Posan lifted the bloodied corpse from the ground again, and stared at him deadly: "Remember, this person is for you to die!" β
This sentence was like a heavy hammer, completely breaking his defense.
He wailed in pain, and the whole person completely collapsed, crying: "I recruited, I recruited!" β
Warm winter sun, pleasant afternoon.
Contrary to the eerie and bloody torture cell, it was a great weather outside. The weather in the capital is obviously much warmer than in Zhenyuan Mansion, and Lian Zining is wearing a black coat and is wandering in the presidential palace.
Rongyue and the others have already gone to Fusang, and with Lian Zining's wedding, several concubines and servants in this mansion and Mama Lin and other subordinates have already gone to Wuyibo's Mansion in Beijing, which is the presidential palace that was very lively and prosperous in the past, has become very dilapidated and sparse at this time.
Liu Liangchen guards this place, and he is often cleaned by people, but he is no longer popular. After all, it's different, Lian Zining walks in the meantime. Look at the place where I used to stay, and work. Resting, where the feast and drink, the sadness of 'the wind is always blown away by the rain and wind' arises spontaneously in my heart.
Finally, he went to his former study.
Here, there is still a huge sand table, and around the sand table, there is also a thick layer of ash, which has obviously not been used for a long time.
Lian Zining waved a bunch of small flags placed on the side, and her voice was a little erratic: "Qinglan." Is this the deduction made? β
"Yes! The eldest lady must come every other day, regardless of the rain, snow, wind and frost, has never stopped, the mark still remembers, that day the heavy rain is pouring, nothing can be seen outside, the rain drops hit the body of the person are painful, the mark originally thought that the lady would not come, but did not expect to come. And the eldest lady came every day. Sitting in front of the sand table is a whole day, sometimes they don't eat or drink, and even the personal maids are thrown out to wait outside, and they don't dare to disturb them. And so it went on for months. It's just that since Jiang Weijin's incident, for fear of Jiang Bin's revenge, Fang Zi didn't come. Under the mark, someone made a set of sand tables that are no different from this one. Sent to Fuchu. β
Lian Zining listened, and couldn't help but be silent for a while.
When I heard that Qing Lan often didn't eat or drink all day long here, he practiced the art of war. Lian Zining's heart couldn't help but twitch.
Of course he knew what Qing Lan was doing this for.
Isn't it because you don't want to drag yourself back? This woman. has paid so much for herself, but she doesn't go home all year round, and this time she returned to the capital for Kou Baimen instead of her.
The so-called negativity is nothing more than that.
Lian Zining naturally knows how brainpower-consuming such a deduction is, the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of people, the replenishment of grain and grass, the migration of the people, the attack and defense of the city, the choice of retreat, whether the road is smooth, and even whether the river is fast or slow, whether the weather is cold or hot, rain, snow, wind and frost, there are thousands of things, everything must be considered, it is indeed extremely mental and physical consumption, and it is only in history that there are often cases of those genius generals losing their heads overnight. It often takes a whole day to complete less than 30% of the calculations, and every time you want to completely deduce a battle, it takes several days!
Not to mention, Qing Lan has never led troops to fight.
Therefore, he also knew more about this woman's hard work and her hard work.
He sighed: "Qinglan, I can't stop you!" β
Liu Liangchen lowered his eyebrows, but he didn't hear it, and it was not a good thing to get involved in the family affairs of such a high-ranking person.
Lian Zining glanced at it again, waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" β
But I made up my mind in my heart, when this is the case, before transferring to the Northeast, I must meet with Qinglan and talk about the parting feelings.
As soon as the two of them left the house, Wang Posan came in a hurry, first greeted each other, and then said excitedly: "My lord, that guy is relieved, let's ask!" β
As he spoke, he handed a piece of paper to Lian Zining.
His temperament is a bit fiery and not very formal, and the middle-level officers of other Wu Yijun have long been so frightened that they can't even speak when they see Lian Zining, but Wang Posan is the only one who talks and laughs in front of Lian Zining, which also makes Lian Zining look up to him.
"Oh? It's pretty fast. β
Lian Zining took the piece of paper in Wang Posan's hand and looked at it carefully.
The paper was stained with blood, all dried and black-brown, and one was reminded of the instruments and shackles of the Inquisition, which had been soaked in the blood of the infidels for centuries.
It is full of handwriting, and it is provided by Lian Zining, a common interrogation record format in MI6, which is very similar to that of later generations, and the more Lian Zining looks at it, the more treacherous it becomes.
Name: Cui Xiang.
Origin: Shanxi Taiyuan Cui family, a local wealthy family.
Resume: When he was a teenager, he was good at poetry and books, and his literary style was elegant, he was raised in 36 years of Zhengde, and he was ranked 85th in the 37th year of Zhengde, and he first entered the Hanlin Academy, as a bachelor, and then entered the East Palace to study for the prince.
For the first time, the prince was belittled, implicated, and claustrophobic together.
The prince was reinstated, and he was reinstated as the prince's attendant.
The prince was deposed for the second time, and Cui Xiang was personally mentioned by the current saint as the great crime of 'instigating the prince and being heinous', confiscating the family property, and the clansmen were enslaved, and he was sentenced to palace punishment and sent to Fengyang to serve the prince.
After disappearing, when it reappeared was the nineteenth day of the fifty-second year of Zhengde, he returned from Fengyang with the prince, and was the eunuch of His Royal Highness King Yong, and left Yue with his servants.
And these. It's just that Wang Posan and others investigated Cui Xiang's resume after the secret visit, but the fact is that it is often a different situation.
According to these anonymous confessions. About three years ago, Cui found them. At that time, Cui Xiang had dozens of elite black-clothed men under his command, and these people grabbed them and took them to a deep well, and then let them choose whether to do something for him or die - no doubt, everyone chose the former.
From then on, Cui Xiang took them from the beggar's nest in the south city to the ruined temple in the northwest corner, giving them some shade relief from time to time, and they could always eat a full meal when they occasionally killed for money. From time to time, Cui Xiang took some people from among them. These people, without exception, are very young and very clever children, and these children can sometimes come back, but speaking of which, they already have a serious business and are doing things somewhere. And more of it, it won't come back at all. Sometimes, Cui Xiang will also bring some nameless white to join. Even in these days, the number of people will not decrease or increase.
Cui Xiang came yesterday evening, and when he came, he still had some things in his hand, and no one knew what it was. I only saw Xiao An alone, and then left as soon as the sky was bright.
Lian Zining looked at the piece of paper and was silent in thought.
No doubt. Cui Xiang is definitely not as simple as his resume shows.
This can be seen from the time, it stands to reason that three years ago. He should still be with King Yong in the Fengyang Deep Palace and waiting for death! But three years ago, he appeared in the beggar's nest in Nanshi, Beijing, and judging by the people under his hands. He should also have a fairly powerful force under his command.
And therefore, Lian Zining also further deduced two points, first, King Yong is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, and second, Cui Xiang will definitely not be just a long-term eunuch in King Yong's system power, and is likely to be a very key and important person.
With his scheming city, he can even roughly deduce that it is likely that King Yong is also an ambitious person, and after being deposed for the second time, he was unwilling to be defeated, so he gritted his teeth and forbeared, just because he was imprisoned in Fengyang and couldn't get out, so he let Cui Xiang operate outside, become his agent, and organize forces, in order to use it one day.
Lian Zining didn't know what Cui Xiang was planting people everywhere for, but he could almost deduce that the little power that Cui Xiang showed was definitely just the tip of the iceberg, and the latent power of King Yong was so huge that it couldn't be said to be as deep as the abyssal sea.
And this time, it is obvious that King Yong was unwilling to be caught by King Fu because he was unwilling to get this great benefit, so he made this trick.
Lian Zining is really thoughtful, and the city is deep enough, and the inference is infinitely close to the truth, but he didn't expect that the relationship between Cui Xiang and King Yong would be so complicated, this is just Cui Xiang's own opinion.
He was silent for a while, but he was pondering what kind of impact he would have if he turned what King Yong did into what King Fu did, and how the outcome of this court battle would develop. Relative to them, he's just a probator.
However, these future can only be predicted after all, and the variables in them can also be changed, and what we need to do now is to reap our own benefits.
And my own time is already running out.
He immediately instructed Wang Posan: "Send a message to this person named Cui Xiang, if you don't want him and his master to be beheaded all over the house, then come and meet me!" β
Wang Po responded three times, and immediately went down on an errand.

Throughout the day, Cui Xiang was a little uneasy.
This feeling has haunted him since he came back from the nameless white residence early this morning, so that he was a little reluctant, and when he walked, he didn't see a pit in front of him, and he fell directly and fell on the ground, and as a result, he broke two teeth.
At this moment, Cui Xiang was wearing a small coat and lying on his back on the bed in his residence, letting out one or two painful screams from time to time.
The source of the scream is also very simple, because of an old man in his fifties who was sitting on the edge of the bed, the old man was holding a silver clip in his right hand, one hand was as steady as a rock, the top of the clip clamped Cui Xiang's teeth, and from time to time his wrist pulled out a broken tooth with a slight force and threw it into the spittoon on the side, and then Cui Xiang let out a scream like killing a pig.
In the spittoon on one side, there was already a lot of blood and broken teeth. (To be continued.) )
