The search was carried out extremely quickly, and Shen Wei was extremely efficient, and within three days, the dealer of the raw materials for gunpowder was found. In the prison of the Criminal Department, it was dark and cold, but most of the people who came in had taken off their skin.

Ever since they were brought in, the gunpowder dealers have been trembling incessantly, reminding them all day and night, for fear that they will be arrested and interrogated.

"Your Excellency. When the jailer saw Shen Wei coming, he called respectfully

Looking at the vendors who were caught in the cells, Shen Wei ordered them to be brought out for interrogation.

"Your Excellency's mercy!" Before they could reach the interrogation room, the vendors trembled and screamed, dragging their feet and not wanting to follow the jailer, and at the same time pulling the jailer's sleeve, which looked extremely ugly.

"It's just an interrogation, don't be so alarmed. Shen Wei paused, turned his head to look at the group of vendors, and said lightly.

However, his indifferent look made the vendors feel a chill: "My lord, what do you want to know, the villains will definitely tell you, and please don't torture us! We are just small merchants and peddlers, and we are doing these businesses to support our families!"

Shen Wei frowned, raised his hand and motioned for them to stop: "Okay, this official is not an unreasonable person, as long as you explain it truthfully, this official will not embarrass any of you." ”

Of course he knew what these people were afraid of. After all, the pain is added to the body, and very few people are willing to bear it, and few people can bear it. Shen Wei is not a person who abuses the punishment, since he took the throne, he has rarely used punishment.

The guards escorted the vendors to the interrogation room, pinned them firmly to the ground, and then stood aside.

The jailers on both sides stared at the few vendors kneeling on the ground, and a sense of oppression arose.

"You don't need to be too nervous, just make sure that you answer the official's words and that everything is true, and the official guarantees that you will not be harmed. Shen Wei sat at the interrogation table, picked up the brush, and asked, "You tell me the truth, how did you get in touch with the people of Caoyun?"

The vendors looked at each other and refused to speak. It's not that they don't want to say it, but the lives of the old and young in the family are in the hands of others, don't say it!

"Hmm, are you unwilling to tell this official?" Shen Wei frowned, and swept a pair of eagle-like gazes over the crowd.

"My lord, I..." A vendor opened his mouth to say something, but the person next to him shouted angrily: "Er!

The man hurriedly stopped, lowered his head and did not dare to make any more movements.

Shen Wei put down the pen in his hand, got up and came to everyone, pacing back and forth: "You guys, are you really unwilling to tell this official?"

"Adults, it's not that the little ones don't want to say it, it's really the little ones who can't say it. The man who was shouting angrily raised his head and said to Shen Wei, and when he looked up, he looked around at the torture instruments around him, and couldn't help but snort.

"You, but you are threatened?" Shen Wei could roughly guess one or two.

The crowd bowed their heads and remained silent, but they did not refute Shen Wei's question.

Is it because you are coerced and caught by others that you dare not tell the truth? Shen Wei sighed silently, turned around and sat down at the table. Place your elbows on the table with your fingers crossed.

"You can't answer this question, so the official will change the question, where you came from, who you have befriended, where you have been, and what kind of experience you have had, and report them one by one. Shen Wei's series of questions made the jailers and the kneeling traders stunned, what kind of questions is this?

"My lord, this ......" A jailer standing closest to Shen Wei looked puzzled and asked Shen Wei.

At this moment, I could only hear a sound of clapping at the door, and when I turned my head to look, it was Gu Yixuan who appeared there, which really surprised Shen Wei.

got up and saluted Gu Yixuan: "Shenwu Jun." After getting up, he asked Gu Yixuan suspiciously, "How could Shenwu Jun come here?" It stands to reason that people who are not from the Criminal Department should not be able to enter and leave the prison of the Criminal Department at will. Gu Yixuan's appearance here now is indeed confusing.

"Gu Mou, on the orders of the emperor, assisted in the investigation of the gunpowder at the dock, and specially asked the emperor for special privileges to come to the prison of the Criminal Department to have a look. Gu Yixuan's words answered Shen Wei's doubts. Fang Cai's eyebrows, which were still frowning slightly, spread out, and he smiled at Gu Yixuan: "I see, Shen is interrogating these traders now, if Shenwu Jun is fine, come and listen." ”

"Lord Shen's interrogation, Gu listened carefully, and I have to say that Lord Shen should be a genius in trying cases. "Knowing how to change thinking and knocking on the side is something that most officials know is simple and difficult to do.

"Shenwu Jun has won the award. Shen Wei turned sideways, pointed to the chair beside him, and motioned for him to step forward and sit down.

"Let's talk about it, and answer Master Shen's question well. Gu Yixuan's eyes swept over the vendor in front of him, and said with a straight face: "The first question, Lord Shen understands your suffering, and does not embarrass it, this second chance, in Gu's opinion, should not involve anything inappropriate, you should be grateful to Lord Shen for giving you this opportunity." ”

As he spoke, he waved his big hand lightly, and in front of the vendor, a strong wind swept through, and a deep mark appeared on the ground only a few inches from his knees.

If there is a slight deviation, it is their knees that have just been cut off!

A little bead of sweat oozed from the vendor's forehead, and he slid down with his neck: "Lord Shen, the little ones must know everything!"

Then, he opened his mouth and answered Shen Wei's question carefully and carefully.

Two hours later, Gu Yixuan and Shen Wei walked out of the prison of the Criminal Department, and Shen Wei held a thick stack of case papers in his hand.

"Shenwu Jun's deterrent power is really effective. Shen Wei smiled and looked at Gu Yixuan's side face and teased.

"Hehe, Lord Shen is teasing Gu. Gu Yixuan smiled back: "That's it, whether it's Gu's deterrence or Lord Shen's astuteness, after all, now we have got the answer we want, right?"

From the exposition of their lives by those people just now, Gu Yixuan and Shen Wei extracted useful clues from them, connected them in a thread, and easily found the person who took the lead.

"It's just that I didn't expect that the eldest brother would let such an important thing be done by that one. It really made Shen ......" Shen Wei thought of that person, and suddenly felt a little helpless.

"Makes you embarrassed, isn't it?" Gu Yixuan took Shen Wei's unfinished words and continued: "To be honest, this news also surprised Shen Mou. Gu Yixuan turned his head, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes: "That one is thinking about him wholeheartedly, but I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Great Prince would be so disregarding the love between them over the years." ”

If Bai Fengkui knew in the Heavenly Spirit, he must be furious.

Just as he was thinking, in the sky, a thunderbolt fell in an instant, splitting a tree in front of him in half.
