Chapter 16: Overnight Interrogation
All the robbers who were still alive were put in prison, a total of nine people, and the rest of the robbers were either killed by the arrows of the crossbow or died in the flames, and the living were covered in wounds. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "Uncle" was put in a solitary cell. Lord Chen took Chai Baochen and Yun Lin to check, and the most important thing now is to know how many people are left under the "uncle" who have not come, so as not to be counterattacked and retaliated by the bandits!
Therefore, Lord Chen did not accept it when he saw it, but wanted to make a surprise trial. The so-called "it is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord" is also.
Walking into the prison, the prisoners saw the official coming, and shouted, "Wronged!" Then the jailer struck the bars of the jails of the loudest prisoners with fire and water, and shouted: "If you scream again, there will be no breakfast tomorrow!" "If it weren't for Lord Chen here, how could the jailer's methods be limited to this? The jailers were afraid that Lord Chen would be angry, and worked hard to maintain order. You must know that Lord Chen only needs to pass on a word when arraigning a prisoner, and today, he wants to see with his own eyes the results of tonight's battle, and now, he is very satisfied!
Master Chen pointed at one of the bandits and said, "Escort him out." ”
When the jailer opened the cell door, he tried to go up and pull him out, but he saw blood coming out of his mouth, and then he fell to the ground, and the jailer opened his mouth and looked at him, and shouted, "My lord, you have killed yourself by biting your tongue!" ”
"Bastard!" The beard on Lord Chen's lips moved, and he was very angry.
"Yes, my lord, the little one should be damned, the little one said the wrong thing, it was the bandit who killed himself." As he spoke, he went to slap himself.
"Forget it, you go find another one." Master Chen reproached.
After a while, the jailer's frightened shout was heard: "Dead again." ”
Master Chen walked forward, only to see that the two robbers in the other cell had all bitten their tongues and committed suicide.
It seems that as long as the "uncle" is there, they don't dare to recruit anything, otherwise, with the means of "uncle", these lives will be worse than death! So, they simply killed themselves. After all, committing such a crime, coupled with the attack on the county government, the capital crime will definitely be inevitable!
"Bring "Uncle" here, and I'll see if he will kill himself! ”
This time, Liu Zhutou personally entered the cell and escorted the "uncle" out. Master Chen asked Liu Zhutou to escort "Uncle" to the torture room. You must know that tonight the public court has become the burial place of the bandits, and there are thousands of holes everywhere, and it will take two days to completely clean it up and repair it at the earliest. Therefore, the interrogation location of the "uncle" is set in the torture room of the prison, and the torture instruments in the torture room may be able to give the "uncle" some psychological deterrence, so that he can honestly explain it later!
After a while, "Uncle" was escorted in, his hands and feet were shackled, and the shoes on his feet were taken off.
It was quite difficult to walk, and there was a loud noise. "Uncle" was pressed to his knees by the jailer, and his eyes looked straight at Lord Chen.
Lord Chen saw that "Uncle" had been staring at him, he was very angry, and reprimanded loudly: "Are you still not convinced? ”
"Hmph, I think I've been in power for more than seven years, and I've never suffered such a big failure, and since I've been caught by you today, what else do I have to say?" "Uncle" was not convinced, but said helplessly.
"Good. It's a man! To lose is to lose. If your sneak attack is successful tonight, won't this county be the same as you are now? So, don't feel sorry for the saying, 'How can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet'? You are cruel, murderous and prostitute, and you have countless sins, and retribution is a matter of time! Now this official gives you a chance to reform yourself, you cooperate honestly, although it is difficult to escape the death penalty, but after death, I will find a monk to spend it for you. Lord Chen looked at "Uncle" and said.
"Excessive? The sins of my whole body are to be overcome. What do you want me to do? "Uncle" asked. The ancients were more superstitious, believing that if a person had sins in life, he would fall into the hell of Abi and suffer torture to atone for his sins.
"Simple, tell me where you are hiding now, that is, the nest, and make a break with the sins of the past as soon as possible." Master Chen said quickly.
"Impossible!" "Uncle" said in a tough tone.
"Are you still obsessed?" Master Chen's beard shook slightly.
"Uncle" simply ignored it.
"Someone, torture!" Master Chen said sharply.
"Uncle" was pressed to the chair, his hands were tied behind his back, and his feet were tied to the legs of the chair. A jailer took a fifty-pound discus and hung it around the neck of "Uncle". "Uncle" lowered his head in an instant, he wanted to lower his head a little more, so that the chain of the discus could slip off his neck, but his shoulders and hands were firmly tied to the back of the chair, and his body could not move.
Lord Chen slowly tasted the tea, while Chai Baochen and Yun Lin waited on the side. Lord Chen looked at "Uncle", "Uncle" is very tough, no wonder he can be the leader of the robbers, he is still a little tough, but unfortunately he did not follow the right path. Master Chen asked the jailer, "Can you add another discus?" ”
The jailer asked, "Would you rather live or die?" "If the jailer wants to fix the prisoner, sometimes they will torture the prisoner to death when they are tortured, so many family members of the prisoner will send money to take care of it so that the prisoner will not suffer inside. The jailer, out of professional habit, blurted out.
"Bastard, of course alive!" Lord Chen was very angry.
"Go back to your lord, you can't add more, otherwise his neck will break." The jailer said with a smile on his face. It is estimated that this is the first time in the jailer's life that he has laughed heartily in the torture room.
Lord Chen looked at "Uncle". I saw that although "Uncle's" neck was pressed by the discus, he didn't mean to give in, but his eyes widened! As soon as Chen Da was angry, he scolded: "Brute! He even dared to stare at the official. Come on, gouge out his left eye with tongs! Lord Chen also specifically pointed out that he would dig with red-hot tongs, and he didn't believe that "Uncle's" body was beaten with iron! He must "uncle" give in, explain the location of the bandit's den, and eliminate future troubles!
The jailer grabbed the red-hot tongs from the stove and walked into the "uncle" step by step, just as the tongs were about to be inserted into the left eye of the "uncle", the "uncle" fluttered and shook on the chair, but to no avail, the "uncle" saw that one of his tricks was about to be ruined, and suddenly said: "Slow! ”
The jailer turned his head to look at Lord Chen, waiting for a demonstration.
Master Chen waved his hand, and the jailer put the tongs back into the stove.
"Haha, okay, in that case, I'll tell you. Actually, it's nothing, just a request for adults. "Uncle" said sincerely.
"Don't go too far, Lord Ben has a lot of means. You say. Lord Chen glanced at "Uncle", and thought in his heart, I don't believe you can still turn the sky.
"For one thing, I have brought all my brethren with me this time. Only the wife and children are left at home. My wife was originally the daughter of a poor family, and I robbed her, and my child was only five years old, and they had never killed anyone or broken the law, so they begged the adults to let them go. Others want to kill or chop, listen to it. "Uncle" said in a bleak tone.
"Okay, as long as what you say is true, this official can let them go!" Master Chen continued. "Tomorrow, you lead the way, and I will send someone over to finish off your lair!"
After the trial, Lord Chen ordered the "uncle" to be taken back to prison. The back of "Uncle" going back was very vicissitudes, it seemed that he was no longer a young man in his early thirties, but a pale old man, he walked with difficulty, his neck could not be straightened, and he could only keep his head down when walking. Looking at the back of the "uncle" leaving, Master Chen smiled slightly and said, "Virtuous nephew, you and your master will go back and have a good rest." Tomorrow after breakfast, you will take 300 soldiers to destroy the lair of the "uncle" thief, and be sure to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and leave no one behind! ”
Chai Baochen was about to say something, Yun Lin pulled Chai Baochen's sleeve, Chai Baochen arched his hand and said, "Yes!" ”
Out of the yamen and on the way home, Chai Baochen asked Yun Lin why he pulled his sleeve just now and didn't let himself question Lord Chen. Yun Lin looked at Chai Baochen for a long time, and said, "Is there one?" ”
At this moment, "Uncle" sat on the ground, closed his eyes, and had an inscrutable smile on his face. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and a cunning and vicious gaze shot out of his tiny eye sockets!
