[I don't know what's going on in the road, it's messed up the rhythm of the update.] There is more to come. Please watch it tomorrow morning. 】

I have seen the Imperial History of Taichung and how to deal with people who refuse to confess their crimes.

Paste yellow sheet paper on the face one by one, and then spray it with water or vinegar, so that the prisoner loses all resistance in the near-death asphyxiation.

Otherwise, the whole person's hands and feet are tied with a circle of ropes, but the rope is also poured with a basin of water, and the tightened rope can strangle the hands and feet to purple and black, and then throw them in the winter wind, and in a moment and a half, you can send most of your life.

However, there is a good thing in the Imperial History Tower, and the offender is not punished. Mixing the food and drink provided with filth, or executing prisoners outside the prison so that the screams can reach the cells, can be considered a means of coercing confessions.

Now, even if the criminal forgiveness has been determined to be Cai Cheng's accomplice and a rebellious henchman, he has not tied him with a rope, let alone any torture instrument, but only restrained him in the side hall of the Daqing Palace. Zeng Bu and Xue Xiang were in the main hall, and Su Shi was on the other side, although they were both felons who committed unforgivable crimes, they were still divided into ranks according to their official positions.

There were more than a dozen sergeants guarding outside, and inside the hall, there was only one person and Cai Qu's body.

The hall was extremely empty, but it almost made Xing Shu breathless, as if a huge stone was pressing on his chest.

His chest was suffocating, as if every time he took a breath, the boulder on his chest would fall a point.

The same sense of suffocation made the eyes of the torture forgiveness lose their previous flexibility, and there was no room for eloquence, just lingering.

The hall was silent, and when the voices of the guards outside came in, they amplified a lot.

“…… It must be Ling Chi, and it is grace to behead the capital. ”

"Several ministers of the two governments have sworn not to obey the party."

"Soldiers don't get tired of cheating. How can rebellion be spared? ”

"That maybe. I'm afraid that the ministers don't want to have a reputation for breaking their promises. ”

Guarding the outside of the hall were not the members of the Imperial Dragon Four Straights, but the Golden Gun Squad, who were not involved in the coup d'état, and were able to talk in a lively tone about whether the Zaisuke would fulfill their promises.

The noise in the Daqing Hall is usually a serious crime, and if it is a political matter that should not be discussed, it will not be spared.

If it is on weekdays, even if it is a straight class, in the eyes of Jinshi, he is still a red guy. Anyone who dares to be rude to the scholars will have a miserable result. Don't say that you are making a loud noise, but you are whispering, and after being seen and heard by the imperial history, you will inevitably have a lesson.

But as Cai Qu's henchmen, Xing Shu now doesn't even have the strength to cover his ears.

"What's in there? Why is there no one in it? Just think about it. ”

"Yes......"

Suddenly, his voice lowered.

Yes, why did Han Jiang deliberately order the guards of the Golden Gun Class to guard outside, but there was no one inside? And Wang Anshi and the other Zai Fu all acquiesced.

There are smart people in the Golden Gun class.

Xingshu looked up at the beams of the house a few feet above the ground, and counted the pillars in the temple one by one.

Han Jiang hopes that he can take advantage of this opportunity.

'Don't trouble anyone else!' ’

When Zhang Qi left, he glanced backwards, as if he was saying that.

At the big celebration, led by Han Gang, the Zai Fu swore an oath in person, only punishing the evil, and the servants did not ask. relied on this sentence to stabilize the straight hearts of the people in the temple and make them all defect.

Obviously, you can be a hero and enjoy all the benefits you can enjoy. But because of timidity, now I have to worry about whether the Zaifu will not speak and be settled by the autumn queen.

Torture had no strength to laugh at their stupidity.

But as an accomplice, he can be spared death by virtue of this article. As long as the Zaifu are unwilling to give up their faces, the Queen Mother must also give way.

How can an accomplice who is just an accomplice to a rebellion escape so easily? In the case of Zhao Shiju's rebellion two years ago, those astronomical officials who only said a few good words, and even just gave two books of star atlas and latitude, would shout that they were wronged in the underworld.

Therefore, the current treatment of criminal forgiveness is the solution to the dilemma.

There was a sudden commotion outside.

It seems that a little farther away, there are many people clamoring for something.

Torture stood up and listened nervously to the movement outside.

A hint of luck rose from my heart, as if I was floating in the sea and found a plank in front of me.

The Zai Fu all went to greet the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven, and there were no other important ministers here except for Guo Kui.

Perhaps, there is a chance to turn the tide of the day.

But the commotion soon subsided, and the chatter outside the hall continued to come in, swirling between the beams and columns.

"Wei Duyu is dead!"

"Biting your tongue and killing yourself."

"When I saw him the day before yesterday, I really didn't expect to have today!"

There was a sigh outside the temple gate.

The door of the temple was suddenly pushed open, and Xingshu saw several people looking at him through the crack in the door, and in a blink of an eye, he closed it again.

Wei Siqing is dead.

Commit suicide.

This royal dragon is the Du Yu Hou who is in contact with Song Yongchen. In the matter of protecting the Empress Dowager, he made great efforts. Last night's change of day, he had a share.

Yesterday, Xing Shu also saw Wei Siqing by Cai Qu's side. In the main hall next door, he even saw a flying sword from Li Xinxin with his own eyes, shattering the last opportunity.

At that time, Wei Siqing was still alive, and now he has returned to Huangquan.

Were these people looking into the hall just now disappointed?

I'm still alive with a cheeky face.

The corners of Xingshu's mouth twitched, but he couldn't squeeze out a smile.

Why did you lose like that?

It is still difficult for him to believe what he has seen.

Cai did agree to take risks, and forgiveness played a big role in this. And he can play such a big role, which is inseparable from his understanding of Cai Qu's mind.

Cai Huangshang, the father of Cai Qu, was the shogunate of Chenzhou, and his former prime minister Chen Zhizhong sentenced Chenzhou to Chenzhou, and ordered him to be a minister because he was unbearable. So much so that the Cai family lived in Chenzhou, and the livelihood of the whole family was in trouble. It wasn't until Cai did win the Jinshi that such a dilemma was reversed.

The prime minister said casually, and Cai Huangshang was dismissed from his official position, so that he died of depression. Cai Cheng's hatred for Chen Zhizhong is a father's hatred. Therefore, in the case of Chen Shiru's murder of his mother a few years ago, Cai did strongly advocate that Chen Zhizhong's only son be sentenced to death.

And Cai's thirst for power also stems from the experience of the old years. Thinking that the position of prime minister would not be guaranteed ten years later, not even ten years, when Cai did fail to persuade the queen mother, his position had already been shaken. Wang Anshi and Han Gang will treat him as a rafter and suppress him hard.

To convince Cai Qu that the situation would develop in the worst direction, it would not take much effort at all, and the root cause of everything was Cai Qu's own fear.

But unearthing this fear is the power of forgiveness.

Under Cheng Hao, forgiveness has always been highly valued, and it is also highly valued by the elders of Luoyang.

He has always boasted that he should be able to step on the road of Qingyun in the future, ascend to the court at thirty, look at the public at forty, and be a prince at the age of fifty.

But since the appearance of half of the classmate who was much younger than Xingshu, Xingshu's plan for the future was like a joke.

With the accumulation of merits and the promotion of official positions, no one among the elders of Xijing no longer treats Han Gang as a young junior.

Whether it is officialdom, academics or popularity, nothing can compare with him. Even the idea of making a comparison, if it is leaked, will provoke a burst of ridicule.

Fortunately, starting from Cai Jing, Han Gang went all the way downhill in the officialdom, and in the charcoal poison case, Han Gang's wrong choice made him shake the credit he had accumulated in the past.

This incident was not caused by torture, except for fueling the flames in Cai Qu's ears, the rest was just a central contact.

However, Xing Shu had long considered this to his best interests.

Relying on Cai Qu alone, he is just a lackey after all.

Wild dogs on the road are often seen, and almost all of them are lost dogs.

Xing Shu never thought of tying his future to Cai Qu's official boots.

Xing Shu is very clear about his own weight, and the reason why Cai does want to use himself is also because of the relationship behind him.

What can really make him famous is the credit of survival.

What the torture wants is to save the old party.

Cai Qu, Zeng Bu and Xue Xiang couldn't support the overall situation, and the Empress Dowager would inevitably lead Luoyang veterans into the court after she came to power.

Once the Empress Dowager was able to hang the curtain, the day that pressed on the head of the old party was completely turned over.

As early as a few days before Cai Qu decided to give up the Empress Dowager Xiang, Xing Shu was already imagining what kind of treatment he would receive among the elders when he returned to Luoyang in the future.

But Han Gang slammed a slam blow with his bones, not only shattering Cai Qu's Heavenly Spirit Gai, but also shattering his illusion of torture.

The light in the hall changed suddenly, and the door of the temple was pushed open by someone, and someone looked in.

Soon, a phrase came from the crack in the door, "You're bold enough." ”

"Do you still expect to live?"

The door slammed shut again.

The class outside was expecting him to commit suicide, but the punishment was unwilling.

Even if you will be a prisoner for the rest of your life, it is better to die than to live.

In any case, he felt that his life was more important than anything else.

As long as you live, there is hope.

Now, he can only hope that the rulers of the eastern and western provinces will keep their promises.

Whether they can escape their lives depends on whether the Zaifu can make the Empress Dowager admit their promise.

……………………

"Leave it to me?"

Hearing Han Gang's words, Empress Xiang stood up quietly. looked at the faces of Zai Fu in front of him one by one, and after the last, it fell on Han Gang's face:

"One is the uncle of the first emperor, and the other is the mother of the first emperor. Han Qingjia, then what do you say should be done? ”

"There are criminal laws, there are stories."

"Huh?" Xiang asked the Empress in a soft nasal voice.

Han Gang bowed his head: "Zhao Hao should die according to the law." Immediately beheaded outside the Xuande Gate. The Empress Dowager should not ask according to the story of the Spring and Autumn Period. Let the minister decide this case, which is the result. However, if the Queen Mother feels unsatisfactory, she will be punished. ”

"Let me punish you? ......" chuckled at the empress, "If I really punish the empress dowager, how will I see the first emperor in the future?" Just do what Han Qing's family said. ”
