Cao Ming then instructed: "Tonight, you go and call Xiuzhong, and prepare some good wine and food, and the materials will be put according to what I just said." ”

"The villain has written it down!" The servant's steps were clumsy, he was in a state of tension, and he knew in his heart that something was going to happen.

Xi Zhong's physical condition is very bad, and he also has some lung problems, and he usually needs to be taken care of by someone when he eats, and if there is a problem with the food, it is easy to kill him.

Cao Ming planned to give him one last chance, if he reported the truth to Cao Cao, he could only choose to let him not live tomorrow.

It was still an hour after the funeral, Cao Ming found an excuse to go back to the house, then took out his sword and walked out again, the destination was the residence of Xi Zhong in the house.

Cao Ming thought to himself that a strategist like Xi Zhong was definitely not a person who only talked empty words, he should have investigated himself behind his back, and if he didn't get it, he would write some records in private.

There were two guards standing outside Xi Zhong's residence, and they were surprised when they saw Cao Ming, it stands to reason that Niangniang should be in the mourning hall now, why did she appear in front of a strategist's residence.

Cao Ming held the saber and said, "I'm going in to find something, what to say and what not to say, you should all know very well, right?" ”

"No!" The armor soldiers made a way out of the way, they should have persuaded Cao Ming to leave, but they saw Cao Ming's sword, in ancient times, the law was not for nobles, that is, Cao Ming would not be punished for killing them, on the contrary, they would lose their lives if they stopped.

Cao Ming pushed open the door of the house, and there was a maid cleaning inside, who seemed to be someone from Xi Zhong's side.

When the "Niangniang" maid saw Cao Ming come in, her face looked a little panicked, as if she knew why she came.

Cao Ming pointed at the maid with a sword and said: "Xi Zhicai's courage is really not small, he threatens my head today, find out all the records of his investigation for me, this is your only chance to live." ”

The maid shook her head and said, "Mr. didn't investigate Niangniang, he just hoped that Niangniang would think about the lord, so he would say disrespectful words." ”

Cao Ming sneered and said, "Interesting! He should know the consequences of speaking out, at least I will be under house arrest here for life, or at worst, I will not even be able to save my life, and you also said that the drama will not investigate me. ”

Cao Ming knew that Cao Cao's eyes were not soft, and once he knew the truth of the matter, he might not be able to save his life.

"I won't say anything, I'm still dead!" The maid's eyes were resolute, and she seemed unwilling to betray Xi Zhong, it seemed that the two had feelings.

Cao Ming put away the saber and said: "I can understand your feelings, but it's better not to be too stubborn, even if you don't tell the hiding place of the record, Xi Zhong will definitely not survive today." ”

The maid knelt on the ground and said, "Yan Ying is willing to die for Mr., and please spare Mr." ”

Cao Ming nodded and said, "Yan Ying, the name is not bad, but it's a pity that I have to wronged you, come on!" ”

"In!" The guards rushed in when they heard the sound, although they were Xi Zhong's subordinates, but Cao Ming's orders had to be obeyed.

Cao Ming pointed at Yan Ying: "This girl is disrespectful to me, take me to prison to punish her, and remember not to tell Cao Gong." ”

"No!" The two armorers took action to knock Yan Ying unconscious, and then brought a cloth bag to cover it so that it would not be discovered by others.

Cao Ming didn't believe that this Yan Ying didn't speak, this ancient criminal law was extremely terrifying, especially cruel to women, basically few people could bear it.

The two soldiers carried Yan Ying into the county prison, and when the cell leader saw that it was someone from the Assassin's Mansion, he let them in without even asking, of course, Cao Ming's face was a free ticket, and no one dared to stop the prisoner sent by the queen.

Cao Ming is still familiar with this place, after all, she has also spent a few days in prison, of course, she doesn't want to have this kind of dark memory anymore.

The two soldiers tied Yan Ying to the torture rack, and then left the prison and went home, and the jailer could take care of the rest.

The cell leader bowed down and said, "It's better for Niangniang to go back, this place is full of bad luck, and I'm afraid that if it is contaminated, it will damage the phoenix body." ”

Cao Ming pulled over the stool and sat on it and said, "I will definitely not leave until she speaks, and then it's up to you." ”

The cell boss nodded and said, "Niangniang, you can rest assured, this woman is born to let men play, and she has a trick to deal with this kind of female prisoner." ”

"What did you say?" Cao Ming's face was a little angry, I scolded you for what you said, didn't you force me to castrate you.

"Damn it, little man, you're just a fart for me!"

The cell boss suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, isn't this queen also a woman, what she said just now is very disrespectful.

Cao Ming is too lazy to meet this kind of person, the most important thing now is to let Yan Ying speak, as long as she can find a place to hide the records, her situation will change from danger to safety.

"Where is this?" Yan Ying suddenly woke up, and the scene in front of her frightened her, she had never been in prison.

A jailer laughed and said, "Little beauty, you have finally woken up, this is a prison in the county town, and now my brother will be happy with you." ”

"If you say anything disgusting, I'll cut your tongue out!"

Cao Ming thought to herself, these people are all rice buckets, and the torturer is not to say it with his mouth, and this word is too disgusting.

"Damn the villain!" The jailer's lust was instantly frightened, and he obviously came according to the usual practice, which made the female prisoner feel frightened first.

Cao Ming said to Yan Ying: "I see that you are also double ten, it stands to reason that I should call you sister, but unfortunately you refuse to give me a chance." ”

"Slaves can't afford it!" Yan Ying already knew what was going to happen, and she only hoped to survive this catastrophe now.

"Torture!" Cao Ming saw a lot of things hanging on the wall, which seemed to be used to torture people, and it was estimated that it would be good to be able to breathe after a set.

"No!" The cell boss did not take the torture instrument on the wall, but took a small cloth wrapped in it, and opened it to see that there were hundreds of long needles inside.

Cao Ming frowned and said, "I just asked you to use torture tools, not for you to treat her, what are you doing with acupuncture for her?" ”

The cell boss explained: "This thing can be used against female prisoners, just take it and go to"

Cao Ming broke out in a cold sweat after listening to the explanation, this thin needle turned out to be used for the Zao faction, and sure enough, the criminal laws of the ancient people were very perverted.

Yan Ying was frightened and cried when she heard this, where had she ever seen such a vicious criminal law, and it was still used on herself.

"Don't want this kind of punishment!" Cao Ming thought to herself that this punishment was too ghostly, at most she could accept whipping, and the rest of the criminal law was better not to use.

The cell boss suggested: "It would be better to strip her of her clothes and whip her again, which is the lightest punishment." ”

Cao Ming thought to herself that this was too insulting, if only the man could still see a little, if the woman still had a nervous breakdown.

Cao Ming had a plan and said, "You tie her to the torture bed, and then bring some mulberry paper." ”

"No!" The cell boss heard for the first time that there was such a criminal law, and it was not painful to confess, it was better to use a clamping stick.

The jailers prepared the paper according to Cao Ming's request, and then tied Yan Ying to an iron bed, which was originally used to burn prisoners, but now used as a tool for execution.

Cao Ming instructed: "Plug her mouth for me, fix her head and don't allow movement, then take a piece of dry paper and paste it, and finally pour some water on it, just repeat this action all the time, and tear off the paper when I shout to stop." ”

The jailer carried out according to Cao Ming's instructions, and when the first piece of paper was pasted, Yan Ying's reaction was not very intense, and when the third piece was pasted, it was different, her body began to resist, but her whole body was tied to the iron bed, and there was no room for movement at all.

"Stop!" Cao Ming thought to herself that the time was almost up, and if she got it any longer, she would suffocate to death, and it would be difficult to explain to Xi Zhong at that time.

"Whew! Call! Yan Ying panted with tears in her eyes, she didn't expect that the paper and water would be so uncomfortable, and she was afraid that she would die after a while.

Cao Ming took out the cloth ball in her mouth and asked, "Although I won't let you suffer from flesh and skin, this taste will definitely not be pleasant, I advise you to say it quickly!" ”

"I, I, no, won't say! Sir treats me well, and I will never betray him! ”

Yan Ying's voice trembled a little, obviously with a lot of fear, like this kind of ups and downs of criminal law, it is a double torture of spirit and body.

"Go on!" Cao Ming didn't believe that she could survive, unless she was a professionally trained agent, it would be difficult for ordinary people to persevere.

After two more rounds of pasting, Yan Ying finally couldn't stand it, this fear of not being able to breathe was far more terrible than physical torture.

Yan Ying was dying and said, "I said!" The things are in the back of the bookshelf, and there is a secret compartment there, where the gentleman hides all the important things. ”

Cao Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered: "You put her in a cell alone, remember to give her some water to drink and be shocked, and don't let her go to death." ”

"No!" All the jailers were stunned at the moment, but they didn't expect this sticker to be so effective, and it took less than a pillar of incense to attract people.

Cao Ming hurried back to the Assassin's Mansion, at this time the funeral was almost over, and she had to find the record before Xi Zhong found out, otherwise all her efforts would be in vain.

Cao Ming followed Yan Ying's words to find the record, and sure enough, she found a secret grid behind the bookshelf, and when she opened it, it turned out to be a small box, which contained more than a dozen pieces of paper full of words, all of which were Xi Zhong's suspicions of herself, and also listed many examples.

Cao Ming thought that Cao Cao would understand when he saw this, he no longer had the same heart with him, it seems that this Xizhong's analytical ability is indeed extraordinary, but it is a pity that this kind of talent has become a stumbling block for himself.

Cao Ming has never chosen to be soft on those who threaten him, and the troubled times are life and death, not to mention that he has an advantage in strength now.
