Chapter 172: Imprisoned 2
The few brocade guards who followed Zhang Ru to the banquet were all tied up by Dornato's personal soldiers, and one by one they were tied up into the word 'big' and imprisoned on the cross.
The charcoal fire specially used for torture was brought to the open space where the banquet had been withdrawn, and the Taiyuan generals put on their armor again, and stood behind Dona with solemn expressions one by one.
"Wake them up." Donather said coldly.
Two sturdy men **** scooped cold water from the barrel with their upper bodies and poured it on their heads, Zhang Ru shivered and woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Duo Natuo standing in front of him with a cruel smile on his face.
"Donat, do you know what you're doing!" Zhang Ru shouted.
His expression was very calm, but his tone was very fierce, as if he didn't even notice that he was the meat on the other party's chopping board.
Donato said proudly, "Yes, of course Ben knows what he's doing." Don't worry, you see that you came to Taiyuan, and the last general didn't entertain you well. There is nothing good to entertain you in this Taiyuan, and the general can only make his own decision and surprise the commander. ”
"You want to rebel?" Zhang Ru struggled vigorously for a moment, and then calmly looked at Donato and said calmly.
Donatus shook his head like a rattle: "Rebellion? With such a big black cauldron, you can't let the end of the world carry it! You said that you can't be the governor of the Nine Sides in the capital, but you have to go to a place like the border town where birds don't to find guilt. This is also an honest man like the last general, if you meet the little bastard who guards the solid plain, you have to let him lead the troops to surround and kill him on the spot.
Your identity is different from ours, as long as you make a move, the government and the opposition must follow suit.
As for the last general, it won't embarrass you, as long as you sign your name on this confession, and by the way, press a handprint, and the last general will be able to release you immediately. ”
As he spoke, he pulled out a piece of paper full of words.
A pro-soldier took the paper and unfolded it in front of Zhang Ru, he didn't know if he didn't look at it, and when he saw Zhang Ru in his heart, he sneered.
This Natok said on the surface that he would not embarrass himself, but the content of the paper was for his own life every word.
admitted that he colluded with the Nine-sided General Army with the intention of rebellion, and there was a detailed time and place on it, involving more than 30 courtiers.
These people, any one of them is taken out and put in Taiyuan, they are all characters who can make Taiyuan officialdom tremble, and each of them is a person with great power.
These people have a common characteristic, that is, they have more or less a certain relationship with the crown prince Zhu Youzhang, or in other words, they have a certain relationship with Zhang Ru, the governor of the Nine Sides.
If Zhang Ru signed such a confession, no matter whether the emperor believed it or not, if the evidence was ironclad, as long as someone in the court sent the confession as a palace report, it would be a confirmation of the crown prince Zhu Youjiao's intention to rebel and usurp the throne, and Zhang Ru, the governor of the nine sides, was guilty of acting as a tiger.
Zhang Ru took a sip and laughed: "The eldest princess of Gulun is a good method, and finally she can't bear it anymore?" ”
Donato raised his hand and slapped it, and after the beating, he wiped it on Zhang Ru's bullfighting suit: "Her Royal Highness the princess's opinion is that you Zhang Ru has no place to be buried, I am a kind-hearted person, and I can't do such a heartless thing." Don't worry, as long as you sign this confession, Ben will leave you a whole corpse, and buy a coffin for you by the way. ”
The force of the slap was very strong, Zhang Ru shook his head vigorously for a long time before he got rid of the fainting feeling in his brain, he ignored the blood left at the corner of his mouth, and grinned: "Are you so sure I will sign?" ”
Dona Tuo smiled and said, "Now I'm a knife warrior, you're a fish, do you think you can not sign it?" ”
Zhang Ru said coldly: "The general really won't sign it, but I want to see what you can do with the general." ”
Donato glanced at the two strong men: "It is said that Jinyiwei's torture methods are the best in the world, and I didn't have a chance to understand it, but today I have the opportunity to see the experience of the Governor." Anyway, since the Governor is bent on going his own way, the last general has no choice but to be respectful rather than obey. Come on, greet your commander, Lao Tzu wants to see if the bones of the commander of the Jinyi Guard are three points harder than ordinary people. ”
Strictly speaking, they can only be regarded as former Jinyi guards, because the official uniforms of the Jinyi guards on their bodies were picked up after Zhang Ru became the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
Seeing that the two of them were moving a little slowly, Donato scolded dissatisfiedly: "No one regards you as a Jinyi Guard, why do you care about his identity." The complaints you had when you were cleared can now be used on the perpetrators, and you should be happy. ”
After Mu Bin took the throne, the cleaning of the thousands of households in various places was very strict, and it was often the Beizhen Fusi side who suddenly dispatched hundreds of thousands of horsemen to raid a thousand households with lightning speed, and then began to investigate after all the officials controlled it.
One of these two men is suspected of robbing people's girls, and the other often buys meat from butchers without paying. was dismissed for such a reason, and refused to even give a chance to explain, so the two of them had resentment in their hearts.
However, each of them knows that these two guys are secretly doing much more than that. If it weren't for the people inside Jinyiwei who wanted to give them a decent way to leave, I was afraid that the two of them wouldn't be able to keep their heads.
Now let them command the Jinyi Guard, the two of them are really a little unable to do it.
Under Donat's sharp scolding, the reluctant two finally picked up the leather whip and the other picked up the soldering iron.
The relatively short former brocade guard shook it with a leather whip in his hand: "Lord Zhang, you should sign it, so as not to suffer hardship." ”
Zhang Ruzheng opened his eyes and said lightly: "How long have you been in Jinyiwei?" A year? Two years? Or three years? When have you ever seen someone in Jinyi be tortured to confess and say something they don't want to say? Before, the official still felt that Mu Bin's methods were too harsh, but now it seems that it is not wrong to expel you black sheep. ”
Donat's guards looked at Zhang Ru like a fool, and he was dying, and he dared to say such a thing.
The tall brocade guard seemed to be aroused, and took out a red-hot soldering iron from the charcoal fire and handed it to Zhang Ru: "I see that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, since you are looking for death yourself, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite." ”
Before the words fell, the red soldering iron was violently imprinted on Zhang Ru's chest.
The aroma of barbecue suddenly wafted out through the breeze, and the burning pain in his chest made Zhang Ru's face flush, and there were faint green tendons on his neck and forehead, and beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down.
The tall brocade guard kept pressing the soldering iron until there was no more green smoke, and then he let go and replaced it with another red-hot soldering iron: "You are not the commander of the brocade guard now, you are just a prisoner now." While Lao Tzu was not mad, he honestly signed his name, and then died happily. Lao Tzu has knocked down many people in the torture room of the Taiyuan Thousand Households. ”
Zhang Ru, who was so pained that he had no strength, grinned loudly and let out a silent laugh, his eyes full of contempt.
As soon as he saw that look, the tall brocade guard couldn't help but press the soldering iron in his hand on Zhang Ru again, he didn't like this look, he didn't like this kind of high-minded look.
He's a small person, but he doesn't like people to treat him as a small person.
Before he could make a move, the whip of the little Jinyi guard had already been pumped on Zhang Ru's body just right, and seeing that his companion was in formation, the tall Jinyi guard was no longer good to stand in front of him to block the way. He casually shoved the soldering iron into the charcoal fire, turned around and walked a few steps briskly to stand behind the short brocade guard.
The whip is specially made, with iron barbs at the end, and although it does not scratch off a large piece of flesh like a cane, it can leave many scars of different shades.
These scars do not cause much pain when they are beaten, and the pain usually does not really show up until after the fight is done and wiped with salt water.
The crispy and numb feeling, coupled with Qi Yang's unbearable ability, has to be scratched with his hands, but his hands are restrained, and he can't solve the discomfort that makes people's scalp tingle.
The underwhelming aspect of this punishment lies in the psychological torment, which, in general, few people can endure.
Donato has been watching with a smile on the side, he also wants to see if Zhang Ru can bear it, and the two henchmen follow closely by his side, for fear that someone will be unfavorable to Donat.
Dozens of whips went down, Zhang Ru's upper body no longer had a piece of good meat, and the short brocade guard flatteringly held the rough sea salt and sent it to Duo Nato's side: "My lord, why don't you do it yourself?" ”
His performance made the two guards of Dornat very disdainful, and the face that smiled like a flower was as disgusting as ****.
The two guards didn't like this, it didn't mean that Duo Natuo didn't like it, he happily grabbed the sea salt in the hand of the short brocade guard, and strode towards Zhang Ru, who was bound.
The short brocade guard may be due to his short legs and feet, and in order to catch up with Dornato's pace, he accidentally twisted his feet and fell directly to the ground with a snap.
Ignoring the pain, he rolled and got up on a donkey, and he didn't even care about the dust on his body, so he trotted quickly towards Donat.
The pace of the two guards was also disturbed by him, and the moment Donato looked back, the tall brocade guard suddenly pulled out a red-hot soldering iron from the charcoal fire.
With a single arrow step, the tall brocade guard arrived behind Donat, and before the two guards could exclaim, the red-hot soldering iron was stuffed into Donat's ribs without hesitation. At the same time, a broken blade hidden in the boot of the tall brocade guard appeared on Donat's neck, making him unable to move despite the burning pain under his ribs.
The short brocade guard stuffed his thumb and forefinger into his mouth, and made a whistle, and from the roofs around him, dozens of brocade guards with embroidered spring knives suddenly appeared.
A burly figure jumped down from the roof, untied the ropes and chains on Zhang Ru's body for the first time, and then helped Zhang Ru and said softly: "My lord, you have suffered." ”
