86_86695 Zhang Guangwen and Zhang Guangwu regret it now, and they feel like they are on a thief ship.

Half a month ago, Sima Daguan, a well-known businessman in Jingzhou Prefecture and a scribe in Tongguò County, recruited the Zhang Guangwen brothers who had just passed on their duties to their respective sons and nephews.

To tell the truth, as a cell boss, that is, the lowest level of the prison system of the Ming Dynasty. The two brothers are certainly incredible characters in the eyes of the small people. But in fact, when facing officials like the county government and various scholars and officials, as well as the big masters, they are still quite inferior in their hearts.

And they know it to those who are illiterate. In the rules of Emperor Hongwu's grandfather, their origin, like the prostitutes in the Qinglou, are lowly servants who have been passed down from generation to generation.

Although I don't know what Sima Daguan said, why do noble lords like the chief guest of honor in Zhijiang County need such cheap servants. However, compared to eating rice at home or going back to the countryside to farm, even if you are an ordinary slave in the noble lord's mansion, it is also an excellent choice. It can even be said that being able to serve in the noble mansion is much more promising than the cell boss they have been working for a lifetime.

The Zhang Guangwen brothers are both in their early fifties and are real old men in this era. Faced with the twenty-year contract, the brothers still muttered a little in their hearts, and they didn't know if they would be able to live until that time.

Although I don't know what I can do in the noble mansion. However, the treatment after entering the mansion still surprised them. Not to mention a spacious house for everyone, it is also unexpected to have food, clothing, and housing. Especially the annual salary of thirty taels per Chinese New Year's Eve, which makes them very bottomless.

The experience after that was even more bizarre. When I entered the house, I first learned the rules with the two junior students.

There are a lot of rules in the house, not to mention, the "Health Order" is even more harsh and cumbersome, which makes people headaches. Naturally, after receiving the microscope bacteriological education, the two not only opened their eyes, but also figured out why most of the prisoners with wounds died based on their rich experience in torture. Of course, their compliance with the "Health Order" is no worse than that of the elderly in the house.

After learning the rules, things are also very strange. is also a little offspring, and gave two people a book called "Detailed Explanation of Torture in the Past Dynasties". The government knew that they were illiterate, so they specially arranged for this little offspring to teach the two of them this book.

The two Zhang Guangwen brothers, like craftsmen in the feudal era, disagreed with the professional knowledge in books. In their view, the doorway in the practice of extorting confessions by torture is simply not something that a layman can understand. Secrets in prison, such as how to kill people quietly and cleanly, how to make irrelevant people confess to the top bag, etc., are not passed down from generation to generation, how can they be learned from books.

However, as the storytelling activities continued, the Zhang Guangwen brothers were disappreciative and gradually became dumbfounded. Not only are their ancestral crafts clearly recorded in books, but even the various methods used in the prisons of all dynasties and dynasties are clearly written in books. Especially in that book, there is also a special explanation of the torture methods of Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

After listening to the book, the two brothers Zhang Guangwen thought to themselves, don't be recruited by Jinyiwei's people. From their arrival in Wangfu Town to the end of the storytelling. They found the place to be strange at every turn. It is said to be a noble man's mansion, but the hands in the mansion, walking, sitting and lying are all neat and uniform that they have never seen. Much like the barracks they imagined. What's more, the subordinates did not call the Yibin Mansion the Yibin Mansion, but called the residence of the nobles the big camp.

Wait until they are familiar with the rules of the camp and have mastered the professional books to a certain extent. They were assigned to the Craftsmen's Battalion. Because the two of them had never taken cultural classes or participated in military training, they were appointed as a special craftsman by the government.

As time passed, they gradually learned about the situation in the house. They found that if they wanted to get ahead in the government, they would definitely not be able to take cultural classes or receive military training. However, the fact that the nobles spent so much money and materials for their subordinates and specially gave them reading and training really didn't know what was going on.

Until they met Wang Shuhui.

When facing Wang Shuhui, who has a gentle attitude and is approachable. Zhang Guangwen and Zhang Guangwu, two brothers, did not relax their vigilance because of the gentle style of the honorable guests. The two brothers, who have been in the county government all their lives, know that people in top positions often look gentle, but in fact, their hearts are ruthless.

Let's just talk about the newly appointed county magistrate in their county not long ago. The noble background of the second-class jinshi always treats the people in the yamen with a smiling face. But once, when I was in my sixties, I had been an old official in the county government for more than 40 years, because I was careless when sweeping the floor, and the broom touched the hem of the county lord's clothes. He was fired the next day and was beaten 20 boards. You must know that at that time, the county commander said a few words in the face of the honest and terrified old servant.

Wang Shuhui is relatively impatient with this kind of old fritters. The reason is very simple, people like the two brothers Zhang Guangwen have been honed in the grassroots administrative organs all their lives, and it is whimsical to expect them to tell the truth and do practical things.

Wang Shuhui said to them at the time, "I don't care what the world thinks of you prisoners, and I don't care if you accept benefits and waste people's lives when you are in the yamen." I don't even care about your little bit of family craft. After listening to the lectures, you naturally know that I understand all the teachings in this. What I care about is your decades of experience in the yamen. ”

"As the saying goes, I haven't eaten pork and never seen a pig run. There is some truth to this. However, those who have eaten pork and killed live pigs know how to kill pigs better than those who have only seen pigs run. I paid you to hire you and give you this and that kind of treatment because you have practical hands-on experience. ”

The life experience of the two brothers Zhang Guangwen allows them to understand Wang Shuhui's meaning very clearly. They knew that this Master of Yibin valued their experience, that is to say, Master Yibin took a fancy to them and dared to start.

After meeting the noble master's house, the daily life of the two old prisoners began to gradually integrate into the environment of Wangfu Town. In addition to the cultural and military training of the training camp, which is tailored to their actual capacity, they are given a specialized interrogation course for the two of them and the newly established Police Section.

The more classes Zhang Guangwen and Zhang Guangwu took, the more they felt that the craft they had inherited from their families was only a small part of this interrogation course. And they found that the torture techniques they mastered were not primarily aimed at obtaining the truth. If you really want to say it, one of the things that you learn in this interrogation course revolves around getting the prisoner to tell the truth. Their family handicraft is purely for the purpose of obtaining corresponding confessions. They found that access to information and obtaining confessions were two completely different concepts.

When I accepted the assignment for the first time two days ago, I can't help but say that the two old cell heads, who were already tired of the life of interrogation, burst out with amazing enthusiasm. They can't wait to put their newfound skills into practice in order to prove their worth in the Yibin Mansion. However, when they saw that the person who was going to be interrogated was a well-known monk in Jingzhou Mansion, the two of them really beat a drum in their hearts.

You must know that even in Changyang County, where the two old cell heads are located, on the edge of Zhijiang County, Master Jingming of Mida Temple is also a very famous figure. It's not that this Buddha Daoxin is a famous monk, but his actual identity makes the leading figures in several counties along the Yangtze River more fearful.

Just like Shi Daoxin himself said, he was born as a Jiang thief. He is not ashamed of his background, but does not shy away from publicizing it everywhere. The reason why Shi Daoxin was able to rob the official ships on the Yangtze River and run to Mida Temple to become a monk. It is precisely because of the Mituo Temple itself that it is the stronghold of a powerful boat gang in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. This boat gang not only plundered the boats on the river, but also secretly colluded with the inspection department along the Yangtze River to transport goods for the salt merchants in the Huguang area. In fact, Mida Temple has been reduced to a den of the boat gang in the past few years.

The Zhang Guangwen brothers, who are well-informed in the yamen, naturally know about this situation. However, it is in the nature of self-preservation that they must wear masks during interrogation, as required by the rules. Therefore, they did not take the initiative to tell Wang Shuhui this information.

Since 7 o'clock after dinner, Wang Shuhui has been in the dungeon of the Police Section, meticulously explaining the interrogation techniques to the trainees. He only used two torture methods repeatedly, one was to paste straw paper on his face, and the other was to hang people upside down so that their heads were repeatedly soaked in water in a large wooden barrel. At about nine o'clock in the evening, Monk Jingming was lifted out of the torture room and dragged into the interrogation room. During the interrogation, Wang Shuhui only mechanically raised various questions in accordance with the interrogation procedures.

At the beginning, the mind of the Buddha, which had obviously collapsed, showed a state of sluggishness and panic. After several interrogations, his psychological defenses collapsed. began to answer Wang Shuhui's questions honestly and seriously. And so the first day of interrogation ended.

Over the next 10 days, the trainees of the training camp and the family members of the Police Section began to practice interrogation of Shi Daoxin. According to the interrogation instructions, they conducted the same interrogation process sixty or seventy times. Half a month later, Shi Dao's heart completely collapsed mentally. Regardless of whether there was anyone or not, he would have a vacant gaze and repeatedly mumble the answers he had given during the interrogation. The whole person is crazy.

One of the greatest characteristics of modern and scientific interrogation work is that the interrogation target will be squeezed to the greatest extent in terms of information.

After half a month, Shi Daoxin was repeatedly interrogated by seventy or eighty people with different identities. He gave a comprehensive account of his teeth from how old he was to where he visited the Qinglou not long ago.

Naturally, the details of the Mida Temple and the roots of the Huguang salt merchants, as long as he knows, he has made a comprehensive and detailed explanation.

In Wang Shuhui's view, the value of the Daoist heart has not been completely excavated. In addition to being the object of blood for the family members in the future, Wang Shuhui also plans to use his body as the object of dissection for medical students. In Wang Shuhui's view, the arrival of Shi Daoxin was to provide him with a resource that he urgently needed
