After the prisoner was handed over, Yue Su first put the person in prison, and after a few polite words to Mu Yi, he sent the guest away. In the afternoon, Mu Tianjiao came to visit again, and learned from her that this assassin was a hard bone, no matter how the Mu family was tortured, it was bitten to death by Fang Zhai and came to assassinate him.

Yue Su thought about it for a while, came up with an idea, and said, "County Lord, the lower official has an idea, maybe he can deceive something from the assassin's mouth, just to wronged the county lord." ”

Mu Tianjiao smiled and said, "I don't know what the adults have in mind, as long as it helps to solve the case, this county will cooperate." ”

"That's ......" Yue Su immediately told him about his plan, which also included Fang Ji and Fang Cha's suspicions, Mu Tianjiao listened to it, nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Lord Yue is shrewd, and this county obeys his orders." ”

Next, Yue Su instructed Hou Ya to ascend to the hall, and called Fang Cai'er, Fang Ji, and Fang Cha, let the three of them listen behind the screen, and asked Fang Cai'er to change the Miao people's clothes to Mu Tianjiao, everything was arranged, and then the assassin was brought to the court.

He had been lying in the prison car for half a month, and he had not been beaten, and the Assassin's spirit had recovered a lot, and as soon as he came to the court, he saw Yue Sugao sitting on it, and a woman wearing Miao clothes kneeling below. The costumes of the Miao leaders are unique, and anyone can see it.

The messenger pressed the assassin to the ground, and with a "mighty" sound left and right, Yue Su knocked the shocked wood hard, and asked loudly: "What is the surname of the kneeling prisoner, and why did you assassinate the Duke of Qianguo?" ”

The interrogation in the public court is completely different from that of King Mu's mansion, and Yue Su's power is not comparable to the torture guards of the Mu family. However, the assassin was also a bachelor, and replied directly: "My name is Fang Xiao, I am from Fang Zhai, and I was instructed by Tusi Fang Cai'er to assassinate the Duke of Qianguo. The reason is that the Duke of Qianguo first sent someone to murder Lao Tusi, so ......" His answer was exactly the same as Zaimu's answer.

Yue Su nodded, and asked again: "You said that you were instructed by Fang Cai'er, was that she instructed in person, or did she send someone to entrust you." ”

The Assassin replied, "She told her in person." ”

"Good." Yue Su nodded again and said, "Then do you dare to confront her face to face?" ”

"Why don't you dare." The Assassin said bluntly.

"Fang Cai'er!" Yue Su pointed to the county lord Mu Tianjiao and shouted: "Now your clansman Fang Xiao testifies that you sent him to assassinate the Duke of Qianguo, you have also heard this, what else to say." ”

Mu Tianjiao turned her head to look at the assassin and said, "My lord, Cai'er has never instructed anyone to assassinate the Duke of Qianguo, and I hope that my lord will be clear and return my innocence." This person is not from our village, I don't know him at all, please don't listen to his nonsense. ”

"Hahahaha......" Yue Su laughed and said, "Good Fang Cai'er, now that the witness is in front of you, you dare to deny it." Fang Xiao, she said she doesn't know you, you are not from her Fangzhai clan, so do you know her? ”

Fang Xiao turned his head to look at Mu Tianjiao and said, "My lord, of course I know her, she is Fang Cai'er, the patriarch of our Fang Village." Patriarch, you want to be the master for me, you instructed me to assassinate the Duke of Qianguo, why don't you admit it in a blink of an eye. At the beginning, you also said that you want me to stab the Duke of Qianguo to death to avenge the old Tusi, and you will marry me, and even the position of the patriarch is mine. How...... How can you not be trustworthy......"

After listening to Fang Xiao's words, Mu Tianjiao looked at Fang Xiao like a fool, and Yue Su above knocked the shocked wood hard, and shouted angrily: "Fang Xiao, you are really bold." Earlier, you said that it was Fang Cai'er who instructed you to assassinate the Duke of Qianguo in person, but you didn't even know what Fang Cai'er looked like, and you were obviously here to deceive the mansion. To tell you the truth, the person kneeling next to you is not Fang Cai'er at all, but the county lord of the Qianguo family. Fang Xiao, the official sees that you are really tired and crooked, and you dare to speak in the lobby of this mansion. Come on, the fire chain is waiting! ”

When Yue Su said Mu Tianjiao's identity, Mu Tianjiao got up suddenly, and Tie Qiu hurriedly moved the chair and asked the county lord to sit down.

Fang Xiao, who was kneeling below, was completely stupid, he didn't expect the adults in the hall to have such a trick, isn't this fooling people. You Han people are too cunning to play like this.

But it was already evening at this moment, and the messenger spread the roasted fiery iron on the ground, and then set Fang Xiao up. Yue Su asked again: "Bold assassin, this official will ask you again, who was instructed to assassinate the Duke of Qianguo." Why did you frame Fang Zhai and what were your intentions? ”

Fang Xiao's mouth was really hard enough, and he still shouted loudly: "I am indeed a member of Fangzhai's clan, and I was instructed by Fang Cai'er to assassinate the Duke of Qianguo." She said that as long as she stabbed Qian Guogong to death, she would marry me......"

It was the first time Yue Su had met such a tenacious person, and the lie had been ruthlessly punctured, and he dared to insist. Yue Su was really angry this time, and said loudly: "If you are not tortured, you will not be honest, press him to the chain of fire for me." ”

"Yes!" The messenger agreed, and pressed Fang Xiao's knee to the fire chain.

With a "snort", there was a puff of green smoke, and the smell of burnt filled the lobby. Along with this smell, of course, there was Fang Xiao's scream. "Ah......h

In the blink of an eye, Fang Xiao fainted.

Mu Tianjiao, who was sitting on the side, was a little terrified when she saw the chain of fire, and when she saw the living person being pressed on it, she couldn't help but get goosebumps on her body.

"Wake him up with cold water."

The messenger put Fang Xiao aside and woke him up with cold water, and Yue Su asked again: "Bold assassin, how does the fire chain taste, if you don't recruit it, there will be a heavy punishment in this mansion!" ”

When Fang Xiao was in the Duke's Palace, he had been tortured all over his body, and now he was tortured by the chain of fire, and if he was a bystander, it was estimated that he would definitely be recruited. But this kid seemed to have eaten the scales and was iron-hearted, and still said: "I am indeed a clansman from Fangzhai, and I was instructed by Fang Cai'er to assassinate the Duke of Qianguo. She said that as long as she stabbed Qian Guogong to death, she would marry me......"

"Okay......" Fang Xiao's answer almost didn't make Yue Su angry, he had never seen such a person in two lifetimes. But seeing Fang Xiao's weak appearance now, Yue Su was also afraid that he would be severely punished and beaten to death again, anyway, he didn't expect him to speak in the first class, so he suppressed his anger and said, "Take him back to the prison, take care of him, and come for a retrial." ”

After Fang Xiao was escorted down, Yue Su summoned Fang Cai'er, Fang Ji, and Fang Cha out, and told the messengers to retire, leaving only Jin Chan and Tie Qiu.

Fang Cai'er turned out of the screen, came to the case, and knelt down for Yue Su, "My lord is discerning, Cai'er admires it, and I hope that my lord will avenge my village." After speaking, he kowtowed to Yue Su vigorously.

Fang Ji and Fang Cha also followed, knelt down and kowtowed to Yue Su, and also said some words of gratitude.

Yue Su asked them to get up, rewarded their seats, and said, "Now it can be proved that it is not Fang Zhai who is plotting to assassinate the Duke of Qian, but there is another mastermind among them. But the assassin insisted that he was the mastermind of Fang Zhai, and there must have been some ulterior conspiracy. Don't look at him now, but don't worry, the official will definitely have a way to make him speak. ”

"What can an adult do?" Mu Tianjiao said disapprerovingly: "Our Mu family has used many criminal laws against him, beating him all over his body, but he still insists that he was instructed by Fang Zhai. I don't believe it, it's hard for adults to have a way to keep him from admitting himself. ”

"This kind of dog thief, how can he confess obediently if he doesn't fight." Yue Su said calmly: "The reason why your Mu family can't tell the truth is because they have a preconceived idea as soon as they come up, and the assassin said that it was Fang Zhai's instigation, so you should be Fang Zhai's instigation." But now that the lie has been exposed, it is useless for him to think that he is the mastermind of Fang Zhai. As for the criminal law, hehe......"

Yue Su showed a grim smile and said, "I don't despise the criminal law on your Qianguo Mansion, martial arts, at best, it is whipping, torture rod, fire branding, and what other great torture can there be." I'm different here, there are a lot of criminal laws that you haven't even heard of. Have you ever heard of brushing? ”

Scrubbing is the criminal law used by Jinyiwei, how can the natives of Guizhou hear about it, Mu Tianjiao knows, but she pretended to be confused, and deliberately asked: "Lord Yue, please advise, what is scrubbing?" ”

"Scrubbing, that is, when the prisoner is tortured, he strips him naked, puts him on an iron bed, pours boiling water on his body several times, and then uses an iron brush to brush off the flesh and skin of his body one by one. until the flesh is brushed away, revealing the bones. ”

Yue Su said calmly, and the people present, all of them were creepy, and they all looked at Yue Su with surprised eyes, no one could have imagined that this extraordinary-looking adult could still talk and laugh when he said this kind of criminal law. Although Mu Tianjiao knew that Yue Su was going to say this, she couldn't help but feel a little infiltrated.

However, Yue Su's words did not end here, he said: "In addition to scrubbing, there are also fried and brain hoops, all of which are inhuman criminal laws, and putting people's hands and feet into boiling oil to cook and fry them, even if they are beaten with iron, they can't stand it." However, in my opinion, these are ordinary criminal laws, and if he doesn't recruit them, I will be even more ruthless. For example, after scrubbing, sprinkle honey all over his body, and then catch thousands of ants and put them on top to let him taste the taste of ten thousand ants eating bones. This kind of pain, life is worse than death, and I don't believe that the truth can't be plucked from his mouth. ”

As soon as he finished saying these last words, everyone's faces turned pale, as if there were thousands of ants crawling on their bodies. Mu Tianjiao knew Yue Su's plan, but it was okay to say that Fang Cai'er, Fang Cha, and Fang Ji's bodies were all trembling, and they probably thought in their hearts, you Han people are too cruel, how can you think of any way. If they were tortured in this way, they would rather die than be asked.

Yue Su still smiled and said, "This assassin has suffered from the fire chain today, if he is brushed again, I am afraid that he will not be able to support it, don't die immediately, just torture tomorrow." Let's all go back and rest, this official still has some official business to take care of. ”

Wait until Mu Tianjiao, Fang Caier and others say goodbye one by one. Yue Su immediately called Jin Cicada to his side and ordered: "Tonight, the bright posts of the Houya will be minimized, and there will be more secret whistles, and the brothers on the bright side will be allowed to drink at night, and they must drink without waking up." You take someone to keep a close eye on me to see what Fang Cha and Fang Ji are doing. ”

"Understood"
