Chapter 149: Coercion and Temptation
Today's torture room was full of heavily loaded security personnel, they were like a great enemy, and all these people who saw it were terrified, and after their interrogation room today, the dazzling light suddenly shook the eyes of these people, and these people were kicked in hard.
There were also quite a few people in the interrogation room, and when they staggered in, they were immediately pressed to a cast-iron chair and handcuffed and shackled.
In front of them was a wooden Taishi chair, covered with thick cushions, and on top of the cushion sat a young man in his twenties and thirties, whose face appeared with a gloomy smile, like a vulture waiting to enjoy a meal after death. In front of him, five large chairs were lined up, and the old men were fixed on the chairs like the word 'big'.
Liu Bancheng then recognized who this young man was, wasn't he the assassination master Chang Zhenbang Chang Zhenzhen's envoy! Seeing his hideous smile, the well-informed Liu Bancheng couldn't help but shudder.
"Are you guilty?" Chang Zhenbang said coldly.
Liu Bancheng said: "The town guards make adults, and the villains have no way to teach their children, and they deserve death!" I also hope that the adults will be kind and lightly fall. ”
Chang Zhenbang looked at the rest of the people and was so frightened that he couldn't speak, only this old man with long braids didn't change his face, and couldn't help nodding secretly, he still recognized this person, so calm and worthy of the title of Liu Bancheng. But appreciate and appreciate, the cat never likes to be afraid of its own rats, and said: "You are Liu Bancheng!" Thanks to your good son, not only participated in the rebellion of the Sun Party, but also assassinated the court members in broad daylight, if this crime was placed in the past, this official sentenced you to the crime of raiding your family and exterminating the clan, you can be convinced! ”
Liu Bancheng said calmly: "It's my son who is sorry for my lord, he committed such a big crime, my lord killed my whole family, destroyed my whole clan, Liu has nothing to say!" Just ......"
"Just what!" Chang Zhenbang asked coldly.
Liu Bancheng said: "The grievances of the adults and the villain are known, but the people of the Republic of China are judged by the laws of the Qing Dynasty, isn't it against the people and the restoration of the Qing Dynasty?" It's not a pity for the villain to die, but I'm afraid that I will ruin the adult's reputation, so please think twice! . The villain is willing to give out ten big yellow croakers and 3,000 acres of land to express his apologies to the adults. ”
Chang Zhenbang turned his gaze to the shopkeeper Wang, and the shopkeeper said: "The little one is willing to give out three big yellow croakers to atone for his sins......" Before he finished speaking, Mr. Zhao, whose face was pale and almost scared out of urine, rushed to say: "Adult, the small one is willing to produce three big yellow croaker, and ten virgins will discourage the adults." Chang Zhenbang smiled, and when Boss Wu saw the play, he hurriedly said: "The villain's family is poor, and he can only honor the adults for eight hundred oceans, but the small ones can guarantee that as long as the adults give an order, the little ones are willing to go to the soup for the adults!" ”
Chang Zhenbang nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his gaze to Master Zhao of black and white iron, Master Zhao just smiled bitterly and said, "The little one hopes that the adults can give the little one a good time." ”
"Oh? Funny guys! Chang Zhenbang smiled faintly and said: "Others seek to survive, you prefer to die, but it's also interesting, can you give the official a reason before killing you?" ”
Master Zhao sighed and said: "It's not a secret, my lord, I am just an ironworker, I have good skills, I saved some money, and married a daughter-in-law, but my daughter-in-law is weak, and she left us when the child was eight years old. ”
Chang Zhenbang listened to his sentimentality, sighed softly, and said, "If I give you a chance to live, you will commit suicide!" ”
Master Zhao said helplessly: "Even if the adult spares the villain, the villain doesn't know how to live, it's better to die." ”
When Mr. Zhao heard this, his eyes rolled, and he hurriedly said: "Old Zhao, what you said is not right, the old saying is good, it is better to die than to live, you are not a bad old man, marry a girl, and give birth to one." ”
Liu Bancheng said: "Xiao Zhao is right, not to mention that there are three unfilial pieties, no queen is the greatest, your family's only seedling is dead, this task of inheriting the ancestors has fallen on you again, if you die, what face do you have to see the ancestors and ancestors under the nine springs?" ”
These people are talking so lively, they just want to live, not to mention that they have no intention of wanting these people's lives, Chang Zhenbang smiled coldly, and waved his hand to Zhang Xiaoliu beside him, Zhang Xiaoliu immediately took a few of Chang Zhenbang's personal horses and drove out all the guards in the torture room, and then they also stood outside the interrogation room, leaving the huge interrogation room to Chang Zhenbang and these fathers.
"Alright." Chang Zhenbang saw that the idle people were all gone, so he slowly stood up, walked behind these people, and said lightly: "I know that you all want to live, but not everyone has the chance to live!" Because it was not me who assassinated you, but my father, and if I do not take revenge, I am afraid that I will be charged with unfilial piety, and if this crime is confirmed, I am afraid that my position as the town guard will not be stable. ”
In the 5,000 years of China, there has not been a generation that does not pay attention to the rule of filial piety in the world, don't look at the current Republic of China, President Yuan Da is no exception to promote filial piety to rule the world. If Chang Zhenbang really let them go like this, he really couldn't block the mouths of the people, and the official reputation would be damaged and he would be cut off from the court. After these people thought of this, they drooped their heads one by one.
Liu Bancheng smiled and said, "It's embarrassing for the adults, Liu is willing to produce five more big yellow croakers, and ask the adults to find a solution for us." ”
"That's my biological father, it's not good to do that!" Chang Zhenbang said gloomily.
Liu Bancheng said: "Ten roots! No more. ”
Chang Zhenbang smiled slightly, came to Liu Bancheng, pressed his hands on the armrests of the chair and said lightly: "Twelve!" ”
Liu Bancheng said: "Just listen to adults." ”
"Sure enough, it's Liu Bancheng, it's really cool! Then I won't hide it! Chang Zhenbang said lightly: "For example, all parts of the country are persuading President Yuan to ascend the throne as soon as possible, Zhili is like this, Central China is like this, Jiangxi is the same, our Jiujiang naturally can't lag behind, you are all people with a face in Jiujiang City, you each show your skills, after our Jiujiang persuasion movement is started, you are the heroes of the new dynasty, this godson has no way to sin, naturally can be avoided, what does the big guy think of this official's idea?" ”
President Yuan Da unified the north and the south, and the persuasion was circulated wantonly, Liu Bancheng was not a person with closed news, so he naturally knew about it, before he was arrested in the prison cell, he had already persuaded him in the name of the squire in other state capitals, but the assassination was too sudden, so that he was arrested before he had time to move in Jiujiang, and now Chang Zhenbang asked him to do this, naturally it is not a problem, and it can even be said that he has fallen into his arms, he has no reason to disagree, but he always feels that something is wrong when he thinks about it, It's like Chang Zhenbang dug a pit for himself and kicked it in when he got close.
"How?" Chang Zhenbang said gloomily.
Liu Bancheng said: "Why don't adults do such a good thing by themselves?" ”
Chang Zhenbang listened, smiled, and said lightly: "A very realistic question, I am the town guard of the Republic of China, and it is not good to persuade the president to be the emperor, Liu Bancheng, you are a very good candidate, I will let you out to operate and persuade you, and the people above will also know that this is my statement, you should not know this truth!" ”
Liu Bancheng understood Chang Zhenbang's plan at this time, and couldn't help but mock: "My lord has a good plan, I have eaten the fish, and I avoid the fish, which is really a good means." ”
Chang Zhenbang said coldly: "If you don't want to do it, you can not do it, I, no, force, you." ”
Liu Bancheng saw what he said strangely, and immediately realized that if he didn't do it, the young man in front of him was afraid that he would not give himself a chance to go out again, thinking of this, he immediately said: "The villain is willing to do things for the adult, and please give the villain a chance to serve!" ”
Chang Zhenbang said: "This is the person who understands." After speaking, he slapped his hands a few times, the outside door creaked, and two horses rushed in, Chang Zhenbang pointed at Liu Bancheng and said, "Let him go!" Ma Ben hurriedly went up to untie the hinged handcuffs for Liu Bancheng, Liu Bancheng thanked him again and again, and was escorted out of the interrogation room by two Ma Ben under the envy of everyone.
When Boss Wu saw it, he immediately said, "My lord, the villain is willing to persuade the adult." ”
Chang Zhenbang glared at him, so frightened that Boss Wu suddenly closed his mouth obediently. Chang Zhenbang smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to worry, I have my own arrangements, don't be impatient!" After speaking, he came to the king's shopkeeper and said, "You are the king's shopkeeper!" ”
The shopkeeper wanted to speak tremblingly, but he couldn't say it, just nodded fiercely.
Chang Zhenbang said: "I heard that you are the most discerning man in the entire Jiujiang City. ”
Shopkeeper Wang looked at Chang Zhenbang and nodded again and again.
Chang Zhenbang smiled lightly and said, "You are an honest man, I don't embarrass you." Let's go! Saying that, he personally opened the handcuffs and shackles on the shopkeeper Wang's body, and personally sent him out of the torture room. Chang Zhenbang seemed to notice him, walked up to him with a smile, and said, "I heard that you look at women very accurately?" ”
When Mr. Zhao heard that the woman suddenly became more clever, and said: "That's natural, as long as the woman passes in front of the villain's eyes, the villain will not only immediately know whether the woman is a chick or a prodigal, but also know how to get it!" ”
Chang Zhenbang was very satisfied when he heard this: "If you really have such ability, I will not only let you go, but also reuse you!" ”
"Thank you, sir! After the villain went back, he immediately organized persuasion. When Mr. Zhao heard this, he immediately cheered happily.
Chang Zhenbang said: "You don't need to arrange the things to persuade you, and you don't need your big yellow croaker Laozi, as long as you do one thing for me with your heart." ”
When Mr. Zhao heard that he didn't need to show up and didn't want his money, he was immediately overjoyed, and immediately said: "The villain will definitely do what the adult explains." ”
When Chang Zhenbang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "You still don't know what the things I handed over to you are, so you are so sure?" ”
Mr. Zhao said disapprerovingly: "What adults can do with small things must be related to women, as long as things related to women are small, there is nothing that can't be done!" ”
"What a big breath, what a great ability, as long as you do this well, you will have your own benefits!" Saying that, he muttered a few words in Mr. Zhao's ear, Mr. Zhao listened, pondered for a while, and whispered: "It's easy to do, but it will take at least half a year." ”
Chang Zhenbang listened, stretched out three fingers, shook them in front of his eyes, and said, "Three months!" I'll give you three months at most! Since you have the ability, three months is enough. ”
Mr. Zhao thought for a while and said bitterly: "My lord, you can be gracious, three months is a lot of time, but the small bankrupt family doesn't have such financial resources!" ”
Chang Zhenbang listened and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, you do things for me, how can you let you spend money, who are you taking me Chang Zhenbang for?" ”
When Mr. Zhao heard this, he nodded violently and said, "Adults are so reasonable, the little one can do this for the adults in two months." ”
"Three months!" Chang Zhenbang said: "You can't let the horse run and don't give the horse grass, I'm not a person who fishes with all his might." Saying that, he clapped his hands, and two horses rushed in and took Mr. Zhao out of the chair, which was not a very inspiring punishment, but Mr. Zhao After such a long day of psychological struggle, he was already frightened and soft, and he was suddenly released, and naturally he couldn't stand up, and he couldn't get out at all if he didn't let people drag him.
"It's just the two of you!" Chang Zhenbang glanced at Master Zhao and Boss Wu.
Master Zhao saw that these people who came with him either went to do errands or were entrusted with important tasks, and none of them died, and he gradually had hope of living in his heart.
Chang Zhenbang stretched out his hand and patted Master Zhao's face and said, "Master Zhao, I don't like to kill people, but after letting you go, you can choose to commit suicide, maybe marry another daughter-in-law and have a child!" ”
Master Zhao looked at Chang Zhenbang blankly, and suddenly shouted feverishly: "My lord, please let me do things for you, I don't want to die, I still want to marry a wife and have children, I want to be worthy of my ancestors, please let me do things for you!" ”
Chang Zhenbang sighed and said lightly: "You begged me so earnestly, how could I refuse?" I'm still going to give you the opportunity! ”
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, ......," Master Zhao said as if he had a nightmare.
Chang Zhenbang shouted: "Zhang Tianzheng come in!" ”
Before the words fell, an officer immediately came in outside the torture room, and this officer was Zhang Tianzheng, who was sent by Chang Zhenbang to develop gunpowder and other materials.
Chang Zhenbang pointed at Master Zhao and said, "This person is said to be the best black-and-white iron master in Jiujiang City, I will temporarily forgive his sins and work with you!" ”
"Yes!" Zhang Tianzheng said loudly, and went over to open Master Zhao's handcuffs and shackles, and pulled him out like a dead dog. When passing by Chang Zhenbang's side, Chang Zhenbang said lightly in Master Zhao's ear: "Good job, marry a wife and concubine for you, if you don't do it well, the death penalty will be inevitable, go!" ”
Boss Wu saw that the five people who came here at the beginning, and now only he was left, he couldn't help but feel a little furious in his heart, to be honest, among these people, he was bold, but no matter how bold a person was, he would inevitably have some scruples in the face of death and fear. Although Chang Zhenbang put four of the five people, it doesn't mean that he can live, do you think, he sat on the fourth chair, but he skipped him and released Master Zhao directly, what does this mean? The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was going to die.
Chang Zhenbang said coldly: "Do you know why I left you alone!" ”
Boss Wu trembled and said, "Adults and villains really don't know. I beg the adults to let go of the small way of life! The little ones are willing to be cows, horses, and adults to do things! ”
Chang Zhenbang smiled slightly when he heard this, and said: "Boss Wu, you are the hero of Jiujiang Wharf, and this official should be reused for you!" As he spoke, he opened all the handcuffs and shackles on his hands with a click, and then shouted outside: "Come and go to Xunxianglou to locate it, and the official must have a good talk with Boss Wu!" ”
