375: Lamb on distiller's grains
Those palace people who thought that Cheng Qing was young and soft-tempered, and tried to lie soon received a painful lesson, a palace person concealed the situation of his marriage with others, and said that he leaked his mouth during the second interrogation, and the Shen Criminal Division immediately let the palace people taste several major torture methods.
At first, he screamed, but then he was dying, and he couldn't wake up with cold water.
The clothes on the palace man who lied and were tortured were all soaked in blood, and there were not many pieces of good meat on his body, so Cheng Qing just stood there and watched, without even blinking his eyes.
The palace people looked at Cheng Qing's eyes, and suddenly went from disapproval to awe.
The dog that can bite people doesn't bark, looking at the soft and Cheng compilation turned out to be so ruthless!
Xiao Yunting was a little surprised.
"I thought you were going to stop the torture."
"Why stop? I gave them a chance, because some people don't cherish it themselves, and if they don't lie, they won't be punished, if it weren't for my insistence, these more than 400 palace people would have been punished. ”
If the queen can't be innocent, and the crime of 'disgusting with victory' is implemented, it will be impossible for more than 400 people in Kunning Palace to live!
Anyone who lies is obstructing Cheng Qing from finding out the truth.
Compared with more than 400 human lives, what is it to torture one until the skin is open and the flesh is dying?
Let's take a look at the past dynasties, how the emperors dealt with the witch Gu aversion incident, which time was not a river of blood.
Cheng Qing spoke eloquently in front of Xiao Yunting, and as a result, one of the meals prepared for her and Xiao Yunting by the Shen Criminal Division in the evening was wine lees lamb, the lamb was steamed extremely soft, and the red wine lees dyed the lamb, like the palace man who had no good meat...... As soon as Cheng Qing saw this dish, his stomach turned upside down.
She stood up with a blank face, went to the clean room, and vomited.
Xiao Yunting didn't have much appetite, but seeing that Cheng Qing had a hard mouth and an honest body, he had a big appetite.
When Cheng Qing came back after spitting up and rinsing his mouth, not only the lamb with wine lees was gone, but the other meat dishes disappeared together, leaving only a few green side dishes, which would definitely not have a bad association when he looked at it.
Cheng Qing wanted to thank Xiao Yunting for her understanding, and when she looked up, she saw Xiao Yunting looking at her with a smile, and Cheng Qing was a little annoyed.
What's so funny!
There's a first time for everything.
She lived in a society governed by the rule of law before she crossed over, and she had never experienced this level of torture to extract confessions.
And it was her order.
Although Cheng Qing had many reasons to convince herself, she was still very uncomfortable to see that the people of that palace were tortured to the point that they were not human.
This is not the same thing as her stabbing a dagger into the murderer's eye socket, that time it was self-preservation, but this time she tasted the taste of power, it turned out that a petty official from the sixth rank has the power to kill and kill...... This time, Cheng Qing still has an excuse, she wants to save the lives of more palace people to make an example of individual palace people, as time goes by, her officials are getting bigger and bigger, will she be so numb that she doesn't need to make excuses, just like some officials in the Great Wei, they treat human life as if they were a mustard?
Cheng Qing has no answer yet.
She hopes she doesn't change!
The follow-up interrogation was not all smooth sailing, although they had already set an example for the monkeys, there were always palace people who had a fluke mentality and tried to cover up some secrets, but under the eyelids of Cheng Qing and Xiao Yunting, these struggles were in vain.
The brains and psychological endurance of the palace people are not as good as the two of them, and the lies will naturally be revealed.
What's even more terrifying is that they don't know where they showed their feet, only that they know that they just told an inconsequential little lie, and they will be recognized.
There are a few more such examples, the psychological defense line of the palace people in Kunning Palace has been destroyed, and some palace people even think that Cheng Qing and Xiao Yunting have mastered some amazing spells that can identify whether a person is lying or not.
The champion of the sixth yuan and the first must be Wenqu Xing, or don't lie in front of Lord Cheng, you can't deceive Lord Cheng at all!
Cheng Qing also became more and more proficient in using this method in repeated practice, and two days later, she tested it on the eight inner supervisors who carried the strange stone, and sure enough, she locked up a dishonest inner supervisor.
It's not that there is a problem with the inner supervisor who stepped on the empty brick and fell, it is another inner supervisor, his position is in front of the left, and he can affect the direction of the whole team with his footsteps.
It was he who deliberately went in that direction.
And there are exactly two uneven floor tiles in that direction.
So the strange stone was broken, and it was really deliberately instigated.
It took Cheng Qing two days to pry open the truth, but she was not in a hurry at all.
"If the stone is deliberately arranged, then the imperial history that shouted 'Phoenix Crying Blood, a bad omen' must have been bought, and our inference has evidence, and if we think about it, the palace maid Jin Rui exposed the queen's disgust with the art of winning, and it is naturally framed."
Cheng Qing told Xiao Yunting that Xiao Yunting was not as optimistic as her.
"Don't be happy too early, these are two different things, can Niangniang get away with the crime, and find the person who instructed Jin Rui to frame him, when are you going to interrogate Jin Rui?"
Jin Yiwei was ruthless, in order to prevent Jin Rui from committing suicide, he broke Jin Rui's limbs and knocked out Jin Rui's teeth, so that she didn't even have a chance to bite her tongue and commit suicide. Jin Rui is now locked up in the Shen Punishment Division, there is no shortage of her to eat, nor is there a shortage of her to drink, but no one has a word to her, but she can hear how the people of Kunning Palace are tortured, this feeling of waiting for the sword above her head to fall must be extremely difficult.
But Jin Rui is the big palace maid next to the queen's mother, she has been with the queen for more than ten years, and she has seen any scene, and this torment is not enough to make Jin Rui's heart collapse!
"Wait."
Cheng Qing believes in Meng Huaijin, and the senior brother must have some results, and she needs Meng Huaijin's cooperation.
……
The palace ladies around the queen have good psychological qualities, and it is not surprising that the prince has good psychological qualities.
The palace maids are from the bottom to fight, and the prince has received the top education since he was a child, in addition to being exposed to it in the palace, they also have to follow the history of Confucianism.
There is nothing new under the sun, what has happened now, it must have happened in the past, and if a person really reads the history books thoroughly, he will definitely increase his wisdom value.
The fourth prince's knowledge is so-so, but his psychological quality is good.
His fearlessness is not because of ignorance, it is precisely because he understands his noble status and knows that Jinyiwei dares to snarl the courtiers, but he does not dare to deduct pots on him, so that the four princes have no fear.
Meng Huai asked the five princes to supervise him and let the five princes interrogate him, which seemed to be doing useless work.
The fourth prince was not afraid at all, and after being kept alone for two days, he even attacked the fifth prince's psychological defense in turn.
"Zhao Jieyu is very sick, fifth brother, aren't you worried at all?"
"Fifth brother, you should go to visit Zhao Jieyu."
"If you hadn't been involved in this matter, you and Zhao Jieyu would have already met."
"My father must believe in me, and my mother will not let Jinyiwei keep me in lockdown, I haven't done anything wrong, and I'm not worried about myself at all, but I'm worried about you!"
The fourth prince looked worried, as if he was really worried about the fifth prince.
The five princes clenched their fists.
These are threats!
The mother concubine is still in the hands of Concubine Ning, so the fourth brother has nothing to fear.
