Walking into the prison, mixed with the smell of rancid blood piercing the nostrils, the damp and dark ground is full of cockroaches and rats, these little things are not afraid of people, they are running around, and there is even dog urine moss growing luxuriantly in the corners of the walls.

The cell leader carefully led the way in front and said, "Childe, be careful, the ground is slipping." ”

Tang Yi nodded silently, and pulled the fox fur on his body, the gloomy cold air made him very uncomfortable, as if he had arrived at the ghost gate. In fact, it was about the same, those prisoners who had been locked up for an unknown amount of time stretched out their pitch-black claws, and they were not much different from imps. The cell head and the jailer are like bulls and horses, and they are extremely flattering to the noble Tang Yi, and they are not polite to other prisoners at all. Holding a whip of raw cowhide in his hand, and with a wire hanging from it, if a prisoner stretched out his claws and shouted loudly, it would be a whip, and the flesh would be blurred, and he would scream.

The cell boss smiled: "Son, these gangs are all cheap skins, and they can't fight if they don't fight!" ”

Tang Yi didn't speak, he snorted, but he quickened his pace at his feet, until he reached the innermost room, which looked a lot cleaner, there was a person sitting on the bed, he had been sitting like this for several days, his back and chest, and his two thighs, all covered with scars, some of them were suppurating and flowing, he could only sit, even if he slept.

"Son, this is the criminal Zhu Zhiliang!"

"Hmm." Tang Yi said: "Open the door and give me a chair." ”

"Yes!"

The cell boss brought over a Taishi chair, placed it near the cell door, and said thoughtfully: "Son, this guy is unlucky, you stay away from him." ”

"You go down first."

The cell boss hurriedly bowed to leave, Tang Yi sat on the chair, looked at Zhu Zhiliang for a while, and sighed.

"Lord Zhu, the late Tang Yi, come to pay a visit." After saying it three times in a row, Zhu Zhiliang's head seemed to move, but there was no sound at all.

Right next to Zhu Zhiliang's cell, there is also a secret room, which is specially reserved for secret recording personnel. At this time, Wang Chen and Wang Shimao, father and son, were listening attentively, but Tang Yi had set a military order with them, and he would definitely pry Zhu Zhiliang's mouth open.

I heard Tang Yi groan slightly, and said with a smile: "Master Zhu, thirty years ago, Ling Zun died early, and you took over his position as a scribe. Later, after being recommended, he went to Guangxi to be a magistrate of the county, and he also made outstanding political achievements, and then he was transferred to Jiading. The rich hometown of the southeast, a place with a long cultural context. How many people who are born on the right path don't have this blessing, why don't you know how to cherish blessings and self-love! ”

The voice is old-fashioned, as if he is teaching juniors.

Zhu Zhiliang slowly raised his head, and from his unkempt hair, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared, looking at Tang Yi with mockery, simply disdainful.

"Young man, you want to learn from Su Qin Zhangyi, let Zhu open his mouth, and tell you, wishful thinking! As you said, I, Zhu Zhiliang, came from a humble background, and today, I have already enjoyed it, the scenery is gone, and if I die, I will die, nothing is great, you don't have to think in vain! ”

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes, and it seemed that the old monk was in a state of mind and turned a deaf ear. In the secret room, Wang Chen's brows were tightly locked, and his teeth were clenched.

In the past few days, Wang Chen has been fighting with Zhu Zhiliang a lot, this guy is just an elm pimple, soft and hard. There are other veteran officials who are years old, and they are all handy at interrogation and torture, no matter what tricks Wang Chen makes, he can resolve them, the big deal is a bad life, so that Wang Lao has no tricks, just see what tricks Tang Yi can play!

"Master Zhu, you have eaten more salt than the kid has eaten rice, and you know the truth better than me, what kind of three pushes and six questions, you have also seen a lot, we might as well talk about our hearts." You have been an official all your life, and now that you are in prison, maybe your life is not guaranteed, don't you want to leave a few words? As the saying goes, people leave a name, geese leave a voice, you don't want to die in this black prison! ”

There was another terrible silence, and Zhu Zhiliang suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Young man, it can be seen that you are not shallow, you must have a great future, if you enter the official career in the future, you must remember that one wrong step is not bad, and leaving a clean reputation is more important than anything else. It is best to benefit one party, and if you can't do it, you can retreat to the countryside and cultivate and read heirlooms, which is better than being stabbed in the neck. ”

Wang Shimao, who was eavesdropping in the secret room, blushed, snorted angrily, bullshit, duplicity, if you know this, why did you fall to the point where you are today, hold back your anger and continue to listen.

Tang Yi smiled slightly: "I can hear it, Lord Zhu seems to have some remorse, as the so-called prodigal son does not change his money, can't you fight back?" ”

"Can't!" Zhu Zhiliang shouted categorically: "I have come to this point, there is nothing to be afraid of death, the sin will stop with me, even if it is cut by a thousand knives, I will admit it!" ”

"Alas, Lord Zhu, it's obvious that those people pushed you into the fire pit, and they are desperately protecting them, what are you trying to do?"

"I ......" Zhu Zhiliang's facial features were distorted for a while, and he said angrily: "I don't want anything, if you don't have anything to say, just leave quickly!" ”

"Hahaha, Lord Zhu, if you don't say it, I can guess it, it must be that they promised you that if you bear the sin, your family will be safe and sound, and you will be able to eat and drink in the future. But have you ever thought about it, if you die, will they keep their promise? Won't you abandon your family as you have abandoned you? ”

"Hmph, I don't know what you're talking about." Zhu Zhiliang was still tough, but Tang Yi keenly caught a trace of worry. He continued to chase after the victory, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhu, didn't you leave some evidence for your family, such as the correspondence and ledgers exchanged and the like, so that your family can protect themselves when necessary?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Zhiliang suddenly became furious, and roared angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, I, I definitely didn't stay, I don't know anything!" You don't have to waste any more spitting, get out, get out of me! ”

Tang Yi was unmoved, and laughed: "Lord Zhu, I believe what you say, but those people may not believe it!" ”

Rumble!

A thunderbolt fell on Zhu Zhiliang's head, blowing up his three souls and seven spirits flew out, and after a short silence, he suddenly burst out and rushed towards Tang Yi, opening his teeth and dancing his claws, it was not terrifying, but his arms were locked with iron cables, and he couldn't touch Tang Yi's clothes at all.

"Hehe, Lord Zhu, two days ago, Jinyiwei and the Weaving Bureau went to find a person named Tian San, I heard that he planted explosives on the river embankment, and I also saw your warrant, but unfortunately they didn't find it."

"So what? I have to come back with the warrant, and I have already turned to ashes, just with a small deserter, I want to bite me Zhu Zhiliang to death, that is a dream! ”

"That's right!" Tang Yi stood up suddenly, forced to look at Zhu Zhiliang, and smiled mockingly at the corner of his mouth.

"You are a thief, you will never confess, Tian San is just a small soldier, he can't identify the people behind you. But what does it matter, I just need to release the news, saying that Tian San fell into the hands of the Admiral, and after confronting you Zhu Zhiliang, you confessed, saying that there is evidence in the hands of the Zhu family, think about it, what will those people behind you do? ”

What else can be done?

Zhu Zhiliang is not a fool, he bites to death and refuses to admit it, just hoping that those people can show kindness and save his family, and if he bites to death and even if he is so loyal to him, no one will die for them.

But as soon as Tang Yi does this, those people will think that Zhu Zhiliang is playing tricks, and they will think that there is something wrong with the Zhu family. With their ruthless and resolute style, they must cut the grass and eradicate the roots, leaving no future troubles. Zhu Zhiliang's desperate family members who want to protect will die alone!

No one is really invulnerable, water and fire are invulnerable, Shen Liang is afraid of gods and ghosts, Zhu Zhiliang has been climbing up desperately all his life, and what he cares about most is his family. But everything was destroyed by Tang Yi, in Zhu Zhiliang's eyes, this kid is simply a demon, a terrible ghost in hell!

The power of a few words is better than thousands of punishments, Zhu Zhiliang was dressed in a rough manner and cursed fiercely.

"You, you mean! Framing innocent people, you are not a gentleman! ”

"Gentleman? Hahaha, Zhu Zhiliang, this is probably the funniest joke in the world, you let thousands of families be ruined and displaced, when did you think about those people's families? You offered the idea of planting mulberry seedlings instead, clearly to force the people to be mutilated for the second time. The river is surging, and the heavens are clear! For a beast like you, the law of the country will not accept you, and God will accept you! God won't accept you, and I won't spare you! ”
