Chapter 24 Extortion of Confessions by Torture
The group of officers and soldiers threw Hua Luo towards the prison of the Criminal Department and left, Hua Luo looked at the various torture instruments placed not far away, and felt terrified, these torture instruments made people feel painful, it was better to give death directly.
The prison was dark and damp, and there was a musty smell in the air, and Hua Luo looked around, and there was no place to rest except for a pile of dead grass.
Hua Luo frowned and found a place to sit down. At this time, Hua Luo only felt a little hungry, but in her current state, don't torture her and just Amitabha.
I don't know how long it took, Hua Luo heard a sound of footsteps, Hua Luo suddenly opened his eyes, someone is coming!
Immediately after that, there was the sound of unlocking, and a man in a first-class official's court uniform walked in, followed by several officers and soldiers, and two jailers.
A fat jailer said very respectfully, "My lord, she is the prisoner who plotted to kill the eleventh prince."
The official glanced at Hua Luo from top to bottom with sharp eyes, and at the same time, Hua Luo was also looking at this official, judging from his court clothes and the jade pendant he wore on his waist, this person should be the secretary of the Criminal Department.
"The little woman is so bold, she dares to murder the prince, come here, the punishment is waiting!" Shangshu of the Criminal Department went directly to the punishment without asking about the situation, and suddenly Hua Luo's head was blank, and it took a long time to react.
"My lord, I didn't murder the eleventh prince, and I ask the adults to investigate clearly, and give the little girl justice."
"There are all human and material evidence, and you can't be allowed to quibble." Shangshu of the Criminal Department said coldly.
"Your Excellency has wronged!"
"The people who came here shouted that they were wronged, since you did something like that, you should have thought of such an end."
At this moment, an officer and soldier had already walked over with a torture instrument, Hua Luo recognized the torture instrument, which had often been seen on TV before, the rope was wearing five small wooden sticks, and it was tightly tightened behind the prisoner's fingers.
Hua Luo's eyes widened and he looked at the Shangshu of the Criminal Department: "My lord, you are tortured to extract a confession!" ”
"Torture? What else do you have to extract a confession from a death row inmate? This is just a routine matter! Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get punished! ”
"Yes, sir." The two officers and soldiers said and put the toilet on Hua Luo's fingers, and the two officers and soldiers pulled hard, Hua Luo only felt cold sweat all over his body, and tears were like a flood that burst the embankment: "My lord, the little woman really didn't poison the eleventh prince, please check it out!" ”
It was not the first time that Shangshu of the Criminal Department had seen such a scene, Hua Luo only felt pain during the whole process, and he didn't raise his eyelids until Hua Luo fainted to death, and Shangshu of the Criminal Department took people away.
When Hua Luo woke up, it was already the next day, Hua Luo only felt that his hands were very painful, Hua Luo sat up and looked at his fingers that were already swollen and unpresentable, he suffered like this on the first day of the Criminal Department, so what should he do in the next days?
Hua Luo looked up at the window, a meter of sunlight was shining in, but she couldn't feel the warmth of the sun at this time.
She was an orphan in modern times, and she was still an orphan in ancient times, and when she thought of the way the students looked at her when she was captured by the officers and soldiers, she felt that there was nothing to be nostalgic for here.
Hua Luo wiped her tears with her prison uniform and secretly comforted herself so that she would not cry.
"Hua Luo, you are blessed with a great life, and you can't die." Hua Luo whispered.
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department said that she is a death row prisoner, and generally death row prisoners are executed after the autumn, and now there are still a few months before the autumn queen, and she still has a chance to escape, but the big deal is that she doesn't go back to Nanjia Academy, and she doesn't go back to her adoptive father and adoptive mother, she goes away incognito by herself, she doesn't believe it, they will find her!
Besides, the ant is still greedy for life, and how can she give up her life so easily?
Hua Luo thought as she observed the surroundings to see where it was convenient to dig a hole to escape.
"It's time to eat." A thin jailer carried a bowl of brown rice and put it at the door of Hua Luo's cage, looked left and right, and whispered to Hua Luo: "Girl, someone asked me to bring something to you." ”
When Hua Luo heard this, he hurriedly walked over, took the things in the jailer's hand, and thanked him again and again.
"Girl, this medicine is just right to treat the wound on your hand, and the one who reassures you that he will find a way to get you out." After the jailer finished speaking, he left in a hurry with the food box.
"Alas!" Hua Luo was about to ask who the good Samaritan was, but saw the jailer leave, and Hua Luo had to swallow the words back into his stomach.
Hua Luo looked at the small porcelain bottle, opened the cap, and sprinkled the powder in the bottle on the wound, Hua Luo only felt cold, Hua Luo knew that this was an anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medicine, in fact, there was no need to ask, this medicine must have been sent by Lin Shuya.
Just when Hua Luo was applying the medicine, Hua Luo heard a sparse sound, Hua Luo looked at it, there was something moving in the grass, it was long, needless to say, it was a snake, Hua Luo quickly got up and tried to stay away from the snake.
She never thought that there would be a snake in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and if she was bitten by a snake, she would be poisoned and die before she could dig a hole.
Oh my God, don't bring this!
The snake seemed to be against Hua Luo, and soon emerged from the grass and slowly approached Hua Luo, Hua Luo looked at the snake in horror: "Don't come here!" Come again, I'll call someone! ”
The snake ignored Hua Luo at all, and continued to swim towards Hua Luo, Hua Luo saw that the snake was getting closer and closer to her, and finally couldn't help shouting at the prison door: "Someone! Help me! There are snakes! ”
"What's it called? It's really noisy! The fat jailer, who was drinking, stood up very unhappily and walked over to check slowly.
Before the fat jailer could come over, the snake bit Hua Luo's leg and ran away.
When the fat jailer arrived, there was no trace of the snake, and the fat jailer looked in the cell and asked impatiently, "Where is the snake?" ”
"The snake bit me and I ran away."
Hearing this, the fat jailer looked at Hua Luo's wound and said leisurely: "Isn't it just a snake?" What's all the fuss! Besides, the snakes we have here are non-venomous, and you won't die. On the other hand, if the serpent were poisonous, wouldn't it be a fulfillment for you? save you from the flesh and skin. ”
After the fat jailer left, Hua Luo no longer dared to sit on the pile of grass, she was afraid that another snake would appear.
What the fat jailer said just now is not unreasonable, it would be nice if it was a poisonous snake, maybe she would have died of poison now, but now it was a non-poisonous snake that bit her, and she still had to endure the next torture.
In the evening, Hua Luo began to have a fever, during which the jailer came, and she did not know what happened afterwards.
