This is a damp and cold dungeon, and there is a foul smell coming from it, as if all the people and things in the entire dungeon are moldy, even Li Kang, who has just entered, is no exception, only to feel that there are itchy invisible insects crawling on his body.

There were not many prisoners in the dungeon, and it looked empty at first sight.

Even the jailers don't seem to be many, and there are not a few of them. But if you think that the guards are lax and easy to get into, then you are wrong, this dungeon has countless dark rooms inside and out, and it is full of soldiers with swords.

Once, a prisoner who did not know where he was going to be, took advantage of the night to avoid a few jailers and escaped, but before he had taken a few steps, as soon as the alarm sounded, he found himself in a sea of white guns and knives.

The officials pushed and shoved along the way, and escorted Li Kang into a cave-like cell surrounded by cliffs on all sides.

Li Dang's eyes widened, and as soon as he got used to the dark light inside, he saw that Pang Senjun of Kaifeng Mansion had already arrived one step earlier and was waiting for him inside. Pang Senjun saw Li Kang coming in, and without saying a word, he asked his subordinates to tie Li Kang to a nail bed used for torture to extract confessions.

Li Dang was tied hand and foot, knowing that it was useless to struggle, so he had to play tricks with Pang Senjun.

"Li has already confessed, why do you want to sentence Li."

"This official and Cai Zhifu have read your confession, and found that there are still many doubts, it seems that you are still very dishonest, don't complain about this official, this official has already made Cai Zhifu clear, and I think that only this method can make you tell the truth quickly."

"If I all cooperate with the adults' questions, will I be able to suffer less now?"

Li Dang just wanted to take down the capital crime of murder first, and one day a group of people went to the court and retracted their confessions in court.

Pang joined the army and smiled, making it clear that he wanted to learn from Cai Jing to set up a private torture hall, but he boasted of his style. The elegant Cai Jing set up the torture hall in the study, and the vulgar he set up the torture hall in the most hidden and dirty dungeon.

Looking at the grim smile on Pang Senjun's face, Li Kang suddenly remembered that this guy wanted to please Cai Jing's son and be angry for Cai Zhang, but of course Li Kang was unwilling to be caught like this.

He suddenly remembered a common sense of the Song Dynasty judiciary that he had read in the story of Song Ci, the author of the Song Dynasty's "Record of Clearing Grievances", and hurriedly said: "According to the "Great Song Dynasty Criminal System", you can't use torture on suspects after nightfall, and now that the golden crow has sunk westward, and the huge people still want to torture Xiaosheng, aren't you afraid that I will accuse you?" ”

Accusing me, Pang Senjun was very dissatisfied with Li Kang's sense of the legal system, and he said in a vicious voice: "This official has forgotten that you are a man, you know the death rules in these books, and you will not be punished at night, and this official is now going to scold you with a cane, what can you do, you want to accuse this official, with your guilt body, where can you accuse this official, what a foolish dreamer." ”

There is no presumption of innocence, there is no defense system, but there are different investigations, Li Dang hurriedly said: "I want to retract my confession, I do not admit guilt, I ask to be transferred to the court for a retrial." ”

"Transfer to the hospital for retrial, hehe, when you have eaten enough, I will send you to another place!" The judicial officer surnamed Pang smiled even more hideously, and after he finished speaking, he waved his hand to the left and right.

Several jailers brought a bucket of water and a bucket of sawdust, and one of the jailers began to mix water into the sawdust, and also took a stick, and smirked at Li Dang as he stirred.

Feed sawdust!

Li Dang is nervous now, isn't this going to put himself to death, if he feeds himself sawdust, he is afraid that within two days, he will be killed by these things in his stomach because he can't digest it.

At that time, Pang will join the army and announce to the public that he was killed by illness, and a suspected prisoner on death row died, who will investigate the reason, let alone disembowel the corpse and find out the truth.

This Song Dynasty is really not a human being, and he can't blame the suspect with a rod at every turn, and he has to kill people to death now, is there still a royal law? No, are there still human rights?

Li Dang was a little annoyed, why didn't he travel to a thousand years later, he believed that at that time, science and technology were more developed, life was more convenient, there was no need to go to school for study, no need to leave home for work, beauties did not need plastic surgery, machines were also empathetic, his genes were optimized, the court would not throw a person into prison at will without evidence, let alone torture to extract confessions at will, hold a board and beat people's butts, and judicial officers would not use public weapons to vent private grievances.

Li Dang was not discouraged, he didn't want to become a piece of meat on the chopping board like this, still slaughtered by others, his brain turned quickly, and said to Pang Senjun: "The big man wants to make meritorious contributions, the small one does have a lot of clues about the past unsolved cases, and the small one also wants to tell the huge man, but the huge man really wants to be tortured, and the little one is afraid that after I eat the sawdust, I will forget all the things in my head."

"Unsolved case, let's hear about it?"

"The year before last, more than a dozen soldiers of the forbidden army died violently in the dragon river in the west of the city, and the government has no clues so far, and the former prefect of Kaifeng Mansion also resigned because of this matter, and the huge people should know about it, right?"

This is what Li Dang listened to when he used to sit in the hall to practice medicine, and now the situation is critical, so he can only move this matter out and coax Pang to join the army.

"It's been almost two years since this case happened, and Li Juzi is still in Wenzhou, how can he know the truth?" Pang Senjun shook his head, looking suspicious.

"Can the giant know which soldiers drowned in the water, and why each body was defenseless and had a missing part of the torso?"

"The defenseless official has heard of it, there is a missing part on this body, the official hasn't heard of it, Li Juzi won't be fooling, right?"

Although Pang was still a magistrate on Jingxi Road the year before last and had not investigated the case, he later reviewed the case file and never saw any records of the soldiers' corpses and limbs.

This is the crux of the case, but the work back then was too incompetent and was neglected. The little one was not in Wenzhou that year, but happened to travel to Bianjing, and witnessed the case before and after, and it happened that several of the soldiers were from Liangzhejiang Road, Li had seen their corpses, but this case involved too many secrets, and the small one was afraid of harming himself, so he returned to his hometown overnight. Li Dare is right.

"What's missing? Li Juzi said honestly, I won't give you sawdust for the time being. ”

Pang joined the army just said that he would not feed for the time being, and he received Cai Zhang's benefits, and he learned that Li Kang had confessed his guilt, and the weapon had made a record, and he was already determined to take Li Kang's life.

"This part is too secret, so it can't be seen at first, and the small ones can't be described in words. It's better for the adults to loosen the ties of the small ones first, so that the small ones can point them out to you. ”

After all, it was a prison in Kaifeng Mansion, and Pang Senjun didn't think that Li Kang had any way to escape his palm, so he motioned to his subordinates to untie the hemp rope tied to Li Kang's hands and feet, and helped Li Kang get off the first bed.

"It's just missing here." Li Dang put one of his hands into his arms and smiled mysteriously at Pang Senjun.

"Li Juzi better untie his clothes." Pang joined the army and smiled.

"The little one obeys the orders of the adults," Li Dang unbuttoned his clothes, and he approached Pang Shenjun step by step and said, "The light here is too dark, so let the little ones get close to the adults." ”

Pang Senjun nodded, he did not see clearly.

Seeing that Pang Senjun agreed, Li Dan suddenly stepped forward quickly, coldly pulled out the saber of a nearby jailer, and put it on Pang Senjun's neck. Li Dang's hand was very heavy, and a blood mark slowly oozed from Pang Senjun's neck.

Pang Senjun knew that he had been deceived, his face was blue and white, and he said angrily: "Don't kill the guy, you want to threaten the imperial court officials?" ”

Those jailers and servants saw that Pang was under control when they joined the army, and they were eager to join the army one by one.

"Go and get sawdust, don't let me slaughter this Pang and join the army!" Li Kang's hand added a little strength, looked around and said.

A jailer brought the wooden barrel containing sawdust and put it in front of Li Kang, he wanted to take the opportunity to take Li Kang's steel knife, but seeing the blood flowing from Li Kang's blade, and then looking at Pang Shenjun's gloomy eyes, he didn't dare to make a move privately, so he had to take a few steps back.

"Quick, take a handful of sawdust and put it in your mouth!" The power of Li Kang's other hand was even greater, and he pulled Pang Senjun's hair and pressed it down.

Pang Senjun felt that Li Kang's hand was extremely strong, so he had to bow his head obediently, but his head still stubbornly did not stick into the barrel.
