Liu Jinbao tapped the head of the official with his index finger and said, "Why, why!" Why are you so stupid? ”

The official looked dazed, and said aggrievedly: "Dutou, what's wrong with the small one, I don't know, I don't know!" If you like to say it, you can say it, and if you don't like it, you can not say it! ”

Liu Jinbao gave him a blank look, and you kid pretended to me again. "If he is recruited, but the person is dead, the person who is recruited must have reason to suspect that the confession is false, and only if the person is still alive can the iron case be completed! If you don't recruit him, it's a dead end anyway, let's also accumulate virtue and send him on the road! The eldest lord can be regarded as merciful, and he has been exempted from the great sin of punishing the nine clans! ”

The servant muttered, "Still merciful! If he is really merciful, it is only an easy matter to convict him of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and it is a big deal to be imprisoned for three months, and his life is still there! ”

Liu Jinbao knocked on the head of the official again and shouted: "I want you to talk more, I want you to talk more!" ”

In fact, Liu Jinbao also knows that the attitude of Feng Manlou is very important now, and the new official has three fires, and he must find someone to establish his authority, otherwise who will be the bird in the future, you know the county master! At present, this Zhang Xiaocai is the best target of the old man's prestige, and the main envoy behind him, without trial, knows that he must be one of those officials. This not only deterred those officials, but also showed their iron fist!

Therefore, if Zhang Xiaocai does not confess, there is only a dead end.

"Liu Dutou, what are you discussing?" In the darkness, a voice came from behind.

Liu Jinbao turned his head and saw that it was Wang Ying, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's Wang Observing!" Isn't it a matter of discussing how to get this kid to confess! ”

Observation is the honorific title of catching fast, and now Sun Hu and Wang Ying, with the help of Feng Manlou, have become fast catchers, of course, they are only following Feng Manlou's fast catch.

Wang Ying smiled: "Oh, this is a confession, and you still have to discuss?" Just let him say no! ”

Liu Jinbao thought to himself, if it is really so simple, and Lao Tzu needs to go out in person, do you think these prisoners are so honest? But he said: "Wang observes, this confession is not so easy to obtain without using some means against the prisoner. That's why I found a master of taking confessions, that is, my brother Ma Wu to help! ”

It turned out that the official was called Ma Wu, and he only heard Ma Wu ask: "Wang observes, you came to the prison so late, but what explanation does the county master have?" ”

Wang Ying said: "I don't have anything to explain, it's just that the master asked me to see if there is a chance to get a confession!" ”

Liu Jinbao thought to himself, he really guessed right. Hurriedly said: "Wang Guan just needs to watch the trial on the side, this kind of work, my brother and I are experts." The king has come to observe the first day, so that you may see the means of our brothers! ”

Wang Ying saw that he had achieved his goal, so he said: "That's good, wait for the little one to demonstrate!" How is Du Tou going to take this confession? ”

Liu Jinbao said: "Wang Guan doesn't know, my brother is very good at taking confessions. Why don't you let this brother tell you about it? ”

Wang Ying said: "Then it's troublesome for the five Ma brothers!" ”

Ma Wu said: "It's not direct enough to talk here, let's not go to the cell, the torture tools are also complete, let's explain it in detail." Oh, by the way, after the prisoner heard it, he might have been frightened, and there was a possibility that he would confess! ”

Wang Ying agreed, and everyone went to the cell where Zhang Xiaocai was being held. Zhang Xiaocai was locked in before he had time to eat dinner, and now that the dinner time of the Yamen has passed, he didn't care about his meal. Now Zhang Xiaocai only felt tired and hungry, and more than ten catties of iron chains and leg cuffs on his body were pressed on his body like a thousand catties of heavy stones.

Seeing the three of them coming in, knowing that the time for torture had come, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart, but there was still a voice in my heart telling me: As long as I can't help it, in two days, Xiao Zhang and Hu Weishan, the two adults, will find a way to save themselves!

Ma Wu pointed to a whip and said, "This whip is made of hemp rope, in order to increase the toughness, so some bamboo silk is added to it, so that the whip is not so soft, and it crackles when thrown up." When it hits the body, it sticks to the flesh pain. Therefore, let's call the whipping as stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots! ”

"In addition to stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots, there are also braised pork ribs. The king had noticed that it was in this charcoal basin that the red-hot iron bar was burned on the prisoner's body, and only the sound of sneering was heard, like the roasting of meat in an oil pot, not only the sound was similar, but also the smell of barbecue was also very similar. That's why it's called braised pork ribs! Ma Wu introduced.

This Ma Wu is also a master in the government, otherwise he would not have been so trusted and respected by Liu Jinbao, and he briefly introduced the bamboo shoots fried meat, braised pork ribs, tiger chairs, and various criminal laws and utensils.

Listening to Zhang Xiaocai next to him, sweat secretly flowed all over the ground, and he was afraid to think about it, let alone experience it himself!

Who knows, Ma Wu's voice changed and said: "These criminal laws, the advantage is to save trouble, you don't have to work so hard, and the prisoner is easy to confess, if it is soft-boned, as long as you invite him to eat a meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots, you will recruit anything!" But there is also a disadvantage, that is, these are physical tortures, as long as the bones are a little hard, get through it, and the rest can survive. ”

Wang Ying asked: "Do you mean that if you encounter hard bones, these criminal laws will not work?" ”

Ma Wu said with a smile: "There are also hard bones, but the little one has been doing this business for eight years, and I have only seen two hard bones, and one of them died within a few days of being carried home." And the other hard guy, who is still locked up here, is a death row inmate! Speaking of this hard bone, I really admire him, it seems that he is called Xue Ba, and sure enough, he is as his name! ”

Liu Jinbao knocked on his head again and said, "Ask if you have any other way, what are you doing on this death row inmate!" ”

Ma Wu hurriedly smiled: "I'm sorry, it's wrong!" Of course, the little one has always thought that these punishments are always bloody and too immoral, so the little one has been specializing in some peculiar, elegant, and less bloody punishments. And the prisoner was not so scared when he saw it, but he couldn't stand it. No, Xue Ba, a death row prisoner, confessed only after our punishment was subdued! ”

Wang Ying's face turned secretly, and he thought to himself: "These officials are really cool officials. A veritable cool official. Even the use of torture has to be renovated with new tricks. ”

Liu Jinbao hurriedly said: "Don't tell Wang about your method!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Ma Wu said: "The little one will first introduce this two heavens of ice and fire. This two-dimensional heaven of ice and fire is to use ice first, and then fire. In the cellar of our yamen, there are ice cubes stored in the cellar every winter. This criminal law is to take half a bucket of ice first, and then go to a small half bucket of water to soak the prisoner's hands in it! ”

Wang Ying said: "What kind of punishment is this, if the winter is still about the same, it is almost autumn now, and even if the weather is cold at night, it will not be very cold." Are you a suspect who is not feeling well? ”

Ma Wu hurriedly said: "Don't be in a hurry to observe, listen to me slowly." This ice water soaked the prisoner's hands into it, and in less than half an hour, the prisoner's whole body was cold and cold. The cold has penetrated into the bones, and even if you go out in the future, you will fall ill! Of course, by the time the ice had all melted into water, his hands were completely unconscious. Then bring the brazier again, and the prisoner himself will put his hands on it and roast it. The taste of this roast was not pleasant, and the outside of his hands was already burned, but the prisoner still felt cold. By the time he felt warm, his hands were already cooked! ”

Wang Ying said: "This method is really vicious! But it's better to just chop off the prisoner's hands! ”

Ma Wu said with a smile: "My lord doesn't know, in the process of being tortured, the prisoner saw the changes in his hands with his own eyes, and he knew that it would get worse and worse, and what he thought about in his heart was how painful it was, so many prisoners couldn't resist it and confessed." This is the power of the two heavens of ice and fire! ”

Wang Ying thought about it carefully, only felt numb all over, and said, "Is there any other way?" ”

Ma Wu smiled: "Also, please listen to me slowly!" ”

At this time, Zhang Xiaocai next to him was already terrified, it seems that these people don't kill themselves today, they won't give up, they still think they are just threatening themselves, and now it's three watches, and they haven't seen Hu Weishan and them to save themselves, is this crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. Didn't Hu Weishan already tell himself!

Thinking of this, seeing that Ma Wu had changed the sky, he said another kind of punishment, which sounded terrifying. But I heard Wang Ying say: "Time is of the essence now, when will you wait until you are so verbose?" It's better to bring this prisoner over and see the effect slowly! Give him a fire and ice first! ”

Liu Dutou nodded and said that what Wang Guan said was exact!

That Zhang Xiaocai heard that he was going to torture himself, he was already stupid, he was a gangster, although he usually fights, but there are few deaths, compared with these officials, it is simply a small thing. Immediately panicked: "My lord, don't use torture, don't use torture, I'll recruit, I'll recruit!" ”

In his heart, he scolded Hu Weishan's ancestors for the eighteenth generation, saying that he would eat some flesh and skin at most, and at most suffer a few meals!
