Chapter 535: Chess Opponent (1)
(Thank you xi8999, fragrant eggs, the first attention, and the imperial slanting sun world for voting for the precious monthly ticket, thank you.) ļ¼
The middle-aged man barely had a good piece of skin on his body, which was Jinyiwei's method, but this middle-aged man was strong and never spoke.
When Su Tiancheng entered the prison, the middle-aged man was still asleep.
A basin of cold water was poured on the middle-aged man's body, this was winter, and the biting chill finally woke up the middle-aged man.
Torture to extract confessions is not a method that Su Tiancheng approves of, but Qu Qingze did it, and he won't say anything.
The middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes and looked indifferently at the person standing in front of him, who had been tied to a wooden shelf for a whole day.
"My lord, this guy has a very hard mouth, he doesn't say anything, and if the lower official tortures him again, he must pry his mouth open."
Su Tiancheng shook his head and stared at the middle-aged man's eyes.
From the eyes of the middle-aged man, he saw fear, but more fearless, this middle-aged man, after suffering so much torture, is still reluctant to speak, there must be a reason, but it is a pity that Jinyiwei does things, all of them are hard, and there are few roundabouts, the concept they believe in is sticks, knives and guns.
Su Tiancheng kept looking at the middle-aged man without even blinking.
Gradually, the middle-aged man couldn't bear Su Tiancheng's eyes anymore and lowered his head.
"Okay, Lao Qu stays, and the rest of the people all quit."
Inside the torture chamber, there were only three people left.
Su Tiancheng was not in a hurry, he simply sat on the chair, looking at the middle-aged man, he already had a premonition that there was a major secret in this middle-aged man. If this secret is revealed, it will definitely cause a huge shock.
If you want to say how much faith this middle-aged man has, Su Tiancheng will not believe it, this is not realistic, if the middle-aged man is a staff member of a certain adult in the imperial court. He had already spoken, Qu Qingze didn't have any evidence, and the middle-aged man could say whatever he wanted, and Qu Qingze had no choice, besides, he was really a staff member of a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and Qu Qingze didn't dare to use a big punishment like this.
can only show that the identity of the middle-aged person is not ordinary, and it is a death to say it, so he simply does not say it. Or that the middle-aged man has a big handle that has been twisted, and he doesn't dare to speak at all.
Half an hour passed, and the torture chamber was unusually quiet.
Su Tiancheng finally made up his mind that he must break the psychological defense line of the middle-aged man.
"This official is the governor of Shaanxi and the commander of the Jiangning battalion, Su Tiancheng, looking at your appearance, it's very good, after suffering such a big torture, you still don't want to speak. Admire, admire, admire. ā
The middle-aged man suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Tiancheng. There was horror in his eyes.
Su Tiancheng saw it very clearly, this was the situation he hoped to appear, as long as the middle-aged people knew that they were frightened and they were afraid, then there was hope.
"It's pitiful to see how hard you've resisted until now. But you don't have to think so much, your plan, the official knows the way, tomorrow will escort you to the capital, and implore the emperor to announce it to the world. Publicly executed, all the sins are on you, the official is a little ridiculous, you think you do it seamlessly, isn't it that the official has already made arrangements. ā
The middle-aged man's body actually trembled, and he said a word in a hoarse voice.
"IāI didn't say anything."
"The official knows that you didn't say anything, but the official thinks that all the information is from you, and the official said that you said it, that is, you said it, don't you want to protect your family, and the official won't let you get your wish."
A hissing sound appeared in the middle-aged man's throat, obviously angry to the extreme.
Qu Qingze on the side was dumbfounded, he didn't understand what Su Tiancheng said, the words in front of him could be understood, but he really couldn't understand the words in the back.
Su Tiancheng was more nervous than Qu Qingze, in the face of the middle-aged man, the torture had no effect, even if he killed the middle-aged man, it was estimated that he would not speak, so he could only adopt psychological tactics, the middle-aged man was so hard to resist, he must be thinking about maintaining something, the gold and silver treasures do not exist, the person is dead, there is nothing, and the gold and silver mountains do not exist, then it can only be the family, maybe the middle-aged man's family is controlled, if he speaks, the family will definitely have no way to live.
This kind of situation happens all the time, and it is also one of the best ways to control the individual's defilement.
Before speaking, Su Tiancheng had already thought of himself, wasn't he in the same situation, Zhu Xianxin was obviously a hostage in the capital, and his family members were in the capital, so he didn't dare to move, unless he was mad and didn't care about his family.
Seeing the middle-aged man's performance, Su Tiancheng had a smile on his face.
"The official thinks, you still say it well, and the official is also very frank to tell you that you may not be able to survive, but your family will definitely be able to survive."
The middle-aged man looked at Su Tiancheng, was silent for a quarter of an hour, and nodded slightly.
But after nodding, the middle-aged man fainted again.
Su Tiancheng's face changed, the middle-aged man had suffered so much torture, he hadn't eaten for a long time, he didn't know if he could still bear it, if he died at this time, all his efforts would be in vain, after all, he didn't grasp anything.
"Lao Qu, hurry up and invite Lang Zhong to come, in addition, prepare the wine and food of Lu, let him eat well, and definitely not let him die."
Qu Qingze nodded again and again, and hurriedly began to arrange.
"My lord, how did you expect this person to be held hostage, the lower officials don't understand."
"Lao Qu, it's a shame that you have been in Jinyiwei for so many years, think about it, what is this person who has resisted until now, what is it for, if his master appreciates him and trusts him very much, he will not ask him to do such a thing in person, since he is in danger to do things, his status is not very high, so the situation where he swears allegiance to the death does not exist."
"There are two situations left, gold and silver treasures and family members, if a person is dead, what is the use of gold and silver treasures, they can't be used, so the possibility of treasure is not very large, the rest is family members, this person's family members are controlled, if you speak, family members will have no way to live, bite to death and don't open your mouth, family members can live, they have no way to live anyway, and they can protect their families, which is the best choice."
Qu Qingze nodded all the time, and after Su Tiancheng finished speaking, Qu Qingze immediately spoke.
"It's still an adult, the lower officials can't think of these things at all, they always feel that people are afraid of death, and they have to open their mouths when they are beaten."
"That's usually the case, but there are special cases, such as this person. Lao Qu, it's not me who wants to talk about you, you are now a court official, and sometimes, you need to change the angle to do things, for example, you caught this person in time, and you did a good job in this regard, but the means after that were not very clever. ā
"Xiaguan knows the way, Xiaguan must learn from the adults with an open mind."
Two hours later, the middle-aged man regained consciousness, the wounds on his body were bandaged, he had eaten, and even drank two glasses of wine.
When Su Tiancheng entered the cell again, the middle-aged man's demeanor changed, and he obviously showed his desire to survive, people are like this, after passing the ghost gate, he is particularly attached to survival, Su Tiancheng vaguely remembers that hundreds of years later, such a method has been tried repeatedly, some people were escorted to the execution ground, accompanied by the shooting, after seeing that scene, he came back and said it, and the explanation was very thorough.
In the cell, there were officials standing who were specially recorded, followed by Su Tiancheng and Qu Qingze, and there was still no one else.
Su Tiancheng glanced at the middle-aged man.
"I want you to tell the truth, so you can put forward the conditions."
The middle-aged man looked at Su Tiancheng and slowly spoke.
"I need to ask for it first."
"If you have any requirements, you can just say it, as long as the official can do it."
"My lord will definitely be able to do it, my family is in Liaodong, I know the prestige of Lord Lu Dao, and I know the power of the Jiangning camp of Lu Dao, as long as the adult agrees, I know all the situations of Lu Dao, all of them will be said."
Su Tiancheng's face was calm, but Qu Qingze beside him, his face turned pale, he couldn't have imagined that this person was actually a spy of the Houjin Tartars, so it seemed that the matter was really big and troublesome, but fortunately he found it in time.
"This official knows what he said, you mean that you want this official to be able to protect your family."
The middle-aged man nodded.
"Well, since the official promised you, I will definitely do it, and when you write out the address of your family, the official will arrange it, and the official can also promise you that you will be able to see your family before you die."
A grateful expression appeared on the middle-aged man's face.
But Su Tiancheng's words quickly shifted.
"You are originally a Han Chinese, but you worked hard for the Houjin Tartars, just by virtue of this, the official will not be able to save your life, so this point must first tell you, the official knows that you may have a lot of hardships, and you may have a lot of hardships, and you were forced to take refuge in the Houjin Tartars, but these are not reasons, a day of torture, you also endured it, did not speak, it shows that you have endurance, but unfortunately, when facing the Houjin Tartars, you do not have such determination for what to do."
The middle-aged man's face turned red, and he lowered his head for a while before he spoke.
"My lord, I don't have anything to argue, I will tell everything about the situation of Lu Dao, I just implore my lord, when I am escorted to the capital, I hope to die in prison, I don't want to be publicly beheaded."
"It seems that you still have shame, this matter is easy to handle, this official can promise you."
Qu Qingze has been paying attention to what Su Tiancheng said, this middle-aged man, who was beaten to death, didn't speak, but Su Tiancheng didn't do it, through his own analysis, let the middle-aged man speak, this is a real ability, enough for him to learn for a while, but the conditions that Su Tiancheng promised, in his opinion, there is not much need, the middle-aged man's family must be strictly guarded, if you want to rescue it, where is it easy.
