Killing sticks or similar means is one of the basic methods of criminal investigation and interrogation, if the interrogator is coaxed or even very arrogant, first of all, he must be beaten this kind of spirit, and the subsequent interrogation will be effective. This is especially true for triad and hooligan crimes. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the subsequent interrogation to achieve the desired results.

Of course, in modern society, criminal investigation and interrogation cannot use this kind of killing stick, and generally use mental coercion methods, such as letting the other party answer questions in a half-squat, cutting the leg of the opponent's jeans to the little hooligans in strange costumes, cutting off the opponent's explosive head, tearing off the flower shirt, etc., and when necessary, torture is also used to extract confessions, such as handcuffs, aircuffs, strong lights, standing on one leg, punishment and so on.

Of course, these methods are mainly used to deal with those hooligans or criminals involved in gangsters, and are generally not suitable for others, and it is easy to cause negative effects and even lead to serious consequences such as the other party committing suicide due to humiliation.

The two escorted Jinyi guards agreed, and dragged the big man out, the man struggled hard, and cursed in his mouth. Yang Qiuchi saw that the two brocade guards were dragging him quite hard, so he glanced at Nangong Xiong. Nangong Xiong nodded, this man was captured from the crowd by his own hands just now, he has a bit of kung fu, and he is strong, and the general Jinyi guard is not easy to deal with him.

Nangong Xiong stepped forward in two steps, and after telling the two brocade guards to get out of the way, he picked up the mallet-like iron fist and punched this person the soft underbelly. The man screamed and fell to his knees. Nangong Xiong kicked him in the stomach again, and the man screamed again, curled up on the ground, vomited all over the place, rolled his eyes when he vomited, and almost lost his breath.

Nangong Xiong grabbed him with one hand and lifted him up to and from the armpit, walked to the platform outside the public hall and threw it on the bluestone slab, shouting: "Execution!" ”

Four brocade guards stepped forward to lift him to the bench and held him down, and the other two brocade guards stepped forward, picked up water and fire sticks, and beat him violently, until the man kept screaming like a pig.

After the eighty killings, the man passed out several times, and his lips were bitten. Jin Yiwei woke him up with cold water, dragged him up to the lobby, and threw him on the cold bluestone slab floor.

Yang Qiuchi asked coldly, "Are you willing to kneel for this official?" ”

These eighty killing sticks did knock out the majesty of this man, he lowered his head and snorted in pain, struggled to turn over and knelt on the ground: "Adult, the small one is wrong, and the small one is willing to kneel." ”

Yang Qiuchi asked, "Okay, what are you doing?" Why incite food grabbing? ”

The man replied: "The little one is the disaster victims outside Wuchang City, who fled to the city, and they are really hungry, and the government has been refusing to release grain, so they said that they robbed grain." ”

"Really?" Yang Qiuchi walked off the desk, came to the place where the man vomited just now, squatted down and looked at the vomit on the ground, and smiled coldly: "You eat fish and pork tonight, and your life is still very good!" ”

When the man heard this, his vomit revealed his lies, and he was speechless.

Yang Qiuchi walked back to the desk and shouted: "Be bold and ruo, look at your oily face and know that you are not fleeing the famine at all, and you don't recruit from the truth, otherwise you will be punished!" ”

The man hurriedly said: "I said, I said, I am wandering the streets of Wuchang City, and tonight I heard about the release of grain, and I squeezed into the pile of hungry people to pretend to be hungry people to receive food, so that I could sell it." The little one is convicted. "Kowtow again and again.

"Then why are you clamoring for food?"

"The little one is guilty, the little one just wants to see the excitement, listen to others shouting, and shout along, blindly coaxing."

This is also reasonable, Yang Qiuchi thought to himself, and if he had to ask again, he heard a shhh

Song Yun'er has been listening to herself judging the case behind the screen, and there must be something urgent to let herself go over at this time.

Yang Qiuchi coughed, smiled apologetically at Luo Qianhu, turned around and walked behind the screen, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Brother, this person may be the caretaker of a big family." Song Yuner said.

Yang Qiuchi sighed: "How do you know?" ”

"When he curled up on the ground just now, a legging was exposed in his trouser leg, he didn't look like a villager, and the people in the city who wore leggings were either dart masters or nurses." Song Yun'er said affirmatively.

This little girl has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she was born as an official eunuch, so she is very familiar with martial artists such as dart masters and nurses, and she can see it at a glance, so she whistles and beckons Yang Qiuchi to come over.

Yang Qiuchi praised: "Yun'er is so smart, thank you!" Turning back to the hall, he was shocked and shouted: "Dare to make a fool of the people!" is still quibbling, you are clearly wearing the costume of the head of the nursing home, and you are wearing leggings, where is the little gangster, and you are not honest. Come on, give me a stick! ”

"Yes!" The brocade guards on both sides came up and grabbed this man and were about to be executed.

The eighty killing sticks in front of him have already beaten this man to the point that he lost most of his life, and if he wants to be tortured, he can't stand it anymore, this man screamed and shouted again and again: "Don't move the punishment, I'll move!" I've got it! ”

"Speak quickly!" Yang Qiuchi shouted: "Tell you, as long as I find out that you are lying again, I will use torture first, do you hear clearly?" ”

"Hear clearly, the villain has been recruited!" The man said repeatedly, "The villain is the head of the caretaker of the Mi Yuanwai family. ”

Yang Qiuchi was happy in his heart, sure enough, there was a problem outside the rice man, now it was good, not only colluded with the inside and outside to embezzle the disaster relief grain, but also sent the caretaker to incite the grain robbery, in an attempt to cause a riot, he had previously relied on the confession of the Tan prefect who had not yet verified, and asked someone to open the rice man's granary outside the house to release grain for disaster relief, although the matter was urgent, he couldn't help but speculate in his heart, and now there was a basis, and a stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground.

Yang Qiuchi asked, "Who told you to incite the grain robbery?" Recruit from the truth! ”

"Say!" The Jinyi guards on both sides had water and fire sticks in their hands on the ground, threatening in unison.

The man hurriedly said: "Yes, it is our master, no, it was the rice man who called us here, and he told us to pretend to be hungry, blend into the crowd, and agitate for food." ”

"Why would he do that?"

"The villain doesn't know."

"How many of you are involved in inciting the food grab?"

"Most of the servants of the nursing home participated, probably dozens."

"Are the two people who were killed by us just now who instigated the food robbery?"

"Yes, it's the manservant of the Mi Yuan's house."

Yang Qiuchi thought for a while, and then asked, "Are you the ones who spread the news that the prefect's yamen is going to release grain tonight?" ”

"Yes, it's Mi Yuanwai who told us to go around. After the locust plague last year, when the hungry people fled the famine, he told us to spread the word that only Wuchang would release grain, and other prefectures and counties would not release grain. ”

Now I understand, Mi Yuan made a ghost outside, and deliberately spread the news to recruit tens of thousands of hungry people within a radius of hundreds of miles.

According to the normal disaster relief, the imperial court should forward the relief grain to the prefectures and counties in the disaster area, and the local hungry people can receive the grain nearby, so as to facilitate the disaster relief and avoid the suffering of the people from traveling, and secondly, to avoid a large number of disaster victims from gathering in one place and accidents.

This Mi Yuan deliberately spread the news to let the hungry people gather in Wuchang City, combined with today's actions, his wolf ambition is obvious.

Yang Qiuchi continued to interrogate the rest of the people who instigated the grain robbery, except for a few hungry people who were indeed extremely hungry, and the rest were all domestic servants or servants of the Mi Yuan's family. Some of them confessed honestly as soon as they came up, and some of them wanted to be tough, but after being beaten and killed, they also confessed honestly.

The confessions of these people are consistent with the big man in front of them. Master Jin recorded their confessions one by one, and with these evidences, Yang Qiuchi felt much more at ease, but these were only peripheral figures, and the truth of this matter was far from being revealed.

Next, Yang Qiuchi wanted to interrogate the black-clothed men who were captured by Nangong Xiong and the other Jinyi guards who tried to set fire to the granary.

According to Nangong Xiong, these people all have martial arts. Yang Qiuchi first asked the big man who had just been interrogated to identify these arsonists, but they didn't know each other, indicating that they were not from Mi Yuan's family.

Yang Qiuchi first interrogated the youngest of them. Such people generally have less experience in counter-investigation and anti-interrogation.

The young man was not yet twenty years old, his face was pale, and when he came in, he knelt down and kowtowed. Sure enough, Yang Qiuchi coaxed, deceived and intimidated, and before he could be tortured, the young man confessed, they turned out to be the dart master of a dismal dart bureau in Changsha Mansion, and this young man was the young dart master.

When the dart bureau was about to be disbanded, a middle-aged man came, gave them five hundred taels of silver, and asked them to come to Wuchang City to set fire to the granary, promising to pay another five hundred taels after the matter was completed.

One thousand taels of silver is equivalent to one million yuan in modern times, which is a huge amount of money for a small dart game. The young man's father, who was greedy for money, took over the business, brought a few henchmen to Wuchang, infiltrated the Yamen of the Political Secretary in a mask, and burned the granary of the Yamen.

The middle-aged man really kept his word, paid the remaining five hundred taels, and asked them to wait for some people in Wuchang City, saying that there was still a business.

Today, the middle-aged man asked them to burn the granary of the prefect's yamen, but they didn't expect that they had just started setting fires, and they were discovered by the Jinyi guards, and they were outnumbered and all arrested.

After Yang Qiuchi interrogated the others, including the young man's father, one by one, he verified that what they said could corroborate each other.

Yang Qiuchi asked the middle-aged man who commissioned them about his physiognomy and learned that this person had a more obvious feature, that is, one of his eyes was squinting, and when he faced you, you couldn't figure out if he was looking at you.
