Before Jiang Banxia followed Lin Yu to the execution room, he heard a sharp cry.

The howling inside is terrible, and the crying is mixed with pleading words, which is really heart-wrenching.

The walls of the torture chamber at the end of the passage were covered with torture instruments, including bamboo boards, whips, and sticks, as well as iron brushes and iron beds that I didn't know what to do.

If you get a little closer, you can see that there are black and purple dried blood stains left on it, and some barbed torture instruments even have some skin and flesh hooked on them, and the strong smell of blood makes Jiang Banxia frown.

Lin Cheng was looking at Jiang Banxia with a bad taste, aren't women afraid of seeing blood? He waited to see how frightened she looked.

That's what makes it interesting.

Jiang Banxia could feel that Lin Cheng was looking at her with a teasing look, so she turned sideways to look at Lin Cheng's gaze.

Although Lin Cheng is only a general banner, his ability is also one of the best among the many general banners of Beizhen Fusi, so someone immediately moved a chair.

"Mr. Lin, this person has a hard mouth, and he asked, but he still refuses to tell the truth."

On the bench lay the old woman, covered in blood and seemingly fainted.

"Call people up." Lin Cheng raised his eyebrows and said to Jiang Banxia: "I want to ask two words." ”

Jiang Banxia knew in his heart that this Lin Xuan was going to show her the power of the horse.

So she unhurriedly picked up the chili water used to soak the cowhide whip on the ground and threw it at the old woman on the stool.

Although it was spring, the weather was warmer, but the inside of the edict was still as cold as a winter, and the cold and biting water splashed up, and the old woman was immediately awakened.

The first thing she said when she woke up was struggling to shout, "It's not me, it's really not me..."

The old woman struggled twice and then her breath was dying, and the blood mixed with cold water flowed down the hem of the old woman's clothes to the ground, and the sound could even be heard.

Lin Cheng said unhappily: "It's not that people are asking, why can't people?" ”

"This...", the brocade guard at the bottom explained: "This old woman is a little too old to stand the beating with a cane. ”

"In that case, let's drag those two men here and 'ask'." Lin Cheng said.

The most common criminal law in Jinyiwei is the cane punishment, the cane punishment is also severe, the lightest is 'asking', if the crime is not serious, ask a question, never hurt life, a little heavier is 'good life to ask', the focus of the fight, leave a living mouth.

The last one is called 'good life and asking', that is, to fight to death, and there is no need to ask if a person is killed, just pull the corpse and draw it, and even the step of beating it into a trick is omitted.

The two men were dragged by the brocade guards, and they could hear the screams of the old woman in the cell just now, and when they saw that they were about to be dragged to the torture room, they were immediately frightened and lost their intent, and a smell of urine came out of the crotch of their pants.

Lin Cheng slapped the tip of his nose in disgust, and he said to Jiang Banxia: "You go to the execution." ”

"Yes."

Jiang Banxia picked a handy bamboo board, she took it in her hand and weighed it, and did not rush to execute, but circled around the two people.

The stabbing sound of the bamboo board mopping the ground knocked on the hearts of the two people little by little, and the mental oppression was the most cruel compared to the pain of the bamboo board hitting the flesh.

Jiang Banxia suddenly put down the bamboo board in his hand, and said to Lin Cheng: "My lord, the lower officials feel that just the cane punishment is a cane, and these Diao people are afraid that they will not tell the truth." ”

She glanced at the old woman who had fainted: "Xia Guan thinks that she can taste something else." ”

Lin Xuan nodded in agreement, and immediately someone handed over the red-hot soldering iron, Jiang Banxia held the red-hot soldering iron, and she grinned.

That smile was very eerie in the dim prison, like an evil ghost.

Isn't it to see her jokes? Then let him see.

Jiang Banxia's expression was cold, she hated that someone would tease her the most.

The two men who were bound to the ground had something stuffed in their mouths, Jiang Banxia took the things in the mouths of the two people, and she said: "I heard that the soldering iron is burned on the meat, and its taste is like roasted pork, I have never seen it." ”

"Your Excellency... Spare your life! The two of us really don't know, really don't know! One of them trembled in fright: "We're really just here to identify the body." ”

"If you recognize the corpse, you don't know what the corpse looks like!" Jiang Banxia threatened sharply: "You dare to quibble when you enter the edict!" ”

The red-hot soldering iron was ironed in the chest and abdomen, and the man grew up and howled desperately, and the sound was extremely miserable, and the shock made people's brains hurt.

Jiang Banxia put down the soldering iron in her hand, she picked up a red-hot iron skewer again, and gestured to the eyeballs of the other person: "Explain it early, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin." ”

"I, I say! My lord! The other man was so frightened that his voice was almost out of tune, his head kept kowtowing to the ground, his face was full of tears and snot, and he cried: "It's a man, a man!" He asked us to identify the corpse! Tell us that it was the hand of a man named Lu Xun."

Jiang Banxia snorted coldly, and the frightened man thought that he was going to be finished, so he immediately prostrated forward and begged: "My lord, what I said is true!" We are indeed Cui Baisheng's brother! Because he was born to a little lady, and far away in the imperial capital, he hasn't seen it for many years, so he can't recognize it, that day is the first time our brothers came to Kyoto, and at that time they pressed the goods and took their mother, just... Someone told us that Cui Baisheng was dead! Let's identify the corpse. ”

Speaking of this, the man's expression became hideous, and he was not afraid: "We were originally in the silk business in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the family raised silkworms and reeling silk, although it was not rich, but it was also a decent family. ”

"It was also some time ago that I heard that the old man in the cloth shop said that my father had an outer room in Kyoto, and there was a younger brother who was about the same age as us. In a fit of rage, the two of us brothers took our mother to Kyoto. ”

The more the man spoke, the more emotional he became, and he even went crazy: "Who would have thought that Cui Baisheng was dead, dead!" Hahaha! ”

"Dead, hahahaha, dead! The son of the slut is dead! ”

Jiang Banxia frowned: "This person is crazy, drag it down first." ”

The situation in front of them is obviously not suitable for further interrogation, they want clues, not just drawing.

At this time, Lin Yuan's subordinates hesitated and said, "My lord, what this person said about Cui Baisheng, the lower officials seem to have heard of it. "Xiaguan's younger brother is studying in Donglin Academy, and it just so happens that there is a classmate named Cui Baisheng, I don't know if it's the same person?"

"Then send someone to inform the people from Donglin Academy to identify the body." Lin Cheng said.

The people below even claimed to be.

Lin Cheng thoughtfully went through the matter in his mind, this was an organized dead soldier in advance, and then he was involved in Donglin Academy, which was suspicious, and at present, he could only wait for the people from Donglin Academy to come and then think about it in the long run.
