Chapter 54: The Legend of the Cool Official

After returning to the courtyard, we gathered in Lao Song's office again.

This old zombie named Meng Bian Nian actually made a game: he made a living corpse with the souls of twelve young girls, that is, the soul guard corpse, the Tang Dynasty has passed thousands of years now, and the soul guard corpse has evolved from a level 1 zombie to a level 4 zombie, and the process is not clear, now that she chooses to stay there, then we will follow her choice. Lao Song said.

How? I asked.

I missed the best time tonight, tomorrow bring the tools, let's open the coffin, get the last body out and then burn it, just let Zhang Heng and Yuwei be in charge of the specific things, now we have to think about another thing.

Speaking of this, Lao Song knocked on the ashes: Originally, I didn't expect this, but after entering this ancient tomb today, I realized that this matter actually has a lot in common with Zhao Shihan's Seven Corpses Yin Sha.

Although I don't know if this is or not, I can basically be sure that the production method of this soul-guarding corpse is in the same vein as the Seven Corpses Yin Evil, and they all belong to evil arts, and it is not clear what this evil magic is, but the common characteristics are still obvious

It's all about torturing young girls to get there! Liu Yuwei said viciously. Black しし Pavilion

That's right, combined with this special era, these evil arts probably need to be found in the history of the Tang Dynasty. Lao Song said.

The Tang Dynasty is known as a prosperous era in China, but no one seems to mention that the Tang Dynasty was actually the most developed dynasty in China in terms of torture and human art.

The well-known Wu Zetian's method of cleaning up Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu: cutting off his hands and feet, digging out his glasses, cutting off his tongue, shaving his hair and drowning in a wine vat is probably your representative.

The period of Wu Zetian was also the most terrifying period of Tang rule: for political struggles and other purposes, Wu Zetian used many cool officials, such as the famous Zhou Xinglai Junchen and others, who invented all kinds of torture to torture political opponents.

But if you read the history of the Tang Dynasty carefully, you will find that the so-called cool officials and torture originated from one person in the first place.

Suo Yuanli.

Carefully flipping through this brother's file, you will find that this old man is a typical three-no-person: no place of origin, no date of birth, no household registration, and the only description of his identity is that he is Wu Zetian's godfather of Xue Huaiyi.

The description of this person's physiognomy is quite detailed: deep eyes, high nose, full beard.

In other words, this person is not from the Tang Dynasty at all, but a Hu person, that is, an ethnic minority, but it is not very clear which nationality he belongs to.

Suo Yuanli relied on his godson, by suppressing a rebellion, and became the envoy of Luozhou (Luozhou is now Henan, and Tui Shi can be regarded as the local magistrate), and began to invent all kinds of torture.

At first, he invented two principles of coercing confessions: jailers and dormitory prisoners (jailers are tortured to extract confessions, and suqiu is how to imprison prisoners to obtain confessions)

So as long as the person who entered the Luozhou judicial hall (at that time, the Luozhou Pastoral Hospital) basically entered hell on earth.

Take, for example, the two major tortures he invented.

The first one is called an iron cage: it is only the size of a skull, with several different round holes facing your features, and then you use some wooden wedges to push through these round holes, so that the prisoner will die with a burst of the skull.

The second is called drying wings: four holes are made in a piece of wood, and then the person's hands and feet are fixed into the four holes, and then the person is hoisted and rotated, usually with a stone around the neck.

Another characteristic of him is that he is poor-rooted: the prisoners who are interrogated must confess to their comrades before they can be given a suspended sentence, but this confession is not complete, and often hundreds of comrades have been confessed to a single case.

From him, the cool officials began to learn Suo Yuanli, and later there were Junchen Zhou Xing and others, but more importantly, his two major concepts of prison and dormitory were warmly welcomed by all cool officials, and later there was a textbook that was unprecedented in Chinese history, and it is estimated that there is no torture to extract confessions later, named "Luo Weaving Sutra". This book has also become a textbook for torture in all dynasties after the Tang Dynasty, and various words in it have become synonymous with some kind of torture in later generations.

The Tang Dynasty has a very rich whole person technique, but all this was actually started by Suo Yuanli, why did this person do these things? Is it just for fame and fortune? Lao Song said with a frown.

Professor Song, do you mean that this Suo Yuanli is likely to be the inventor of this evil art that specializes in torturing people? I thought about it and asked.

I just have this idea, but these two things, although they don't seem to be connected, have some of the same nature, and I think they can be dealt with together.

No one spoke.

Because this conclusion is really difficult.

Everyone is tired Let's get here first, go to rest first, Lei Hengli still continues to monitor Shangguan Xin, we must find out the identity of her boyfriend, Zhang Heng and Yuwei are responsible for dealing with the things in the ancient tombs of the Tang Dynasty.

When it was over, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.

Walking out of the office, Liu Yuwei has been silently walking beside me, and when I stopped at 105, Liu Yuwei suddenly turned her head to look at me and said: Zhang Heng, I have something I want to ask you

What's up? I asked.

Liu Yuwei's face was a little red, she didn't hold back half a word, she tried to open her mouth, and finally said: Good night, nothing

Then he hurried back to his room.

Although she didn't say it, I probably guessed that it had something to do with the split-leg man, but Liu Yuwei didn't say it, I can't go up and say that I actually know, right?

I had no choice but to go back to my room to rest.

Since I came to this funeral school, I feel that my whole life is in the United States, groggy during the day and mentally dead at night, but I slept until 11 a.m., and I was still woken up by a phone call.

The caller ID turned out to be Li Shuqin.

Zhang Heng? I'm Sister Li, I want to call you mainly to tell you, tomorrow at 9:52 a.m., Shihan will be buried, can you and Yuwei come? And Shangguan Xin?

I thought about it and said: Liu Yuwei and I should be fine, but Shangguan Xin may have some problems, I can't guarantee whether she can come or not, Shihan's death seems to have touched her quite a lot.

Oh? Is it? Shangguan Xin still has this concern, then okay, I'll call her. Do you want me to send a car to pick you up tomorrow?

No, we'll be there. Besides, when are you going to let me help you with that matter? I asked again.

Hehe, I just wanted to tell you about it, Zhang Heng didn't expect you to have such a skill, and you can actually know how to exorcise souls. Well, I'll contact you after Shihan's burial. I guess it's the day after tomorrow. Li Shuqin said.

Okay, but you have to tell me what the situation is on your side before I can take the opposite approach.

Okay, tomorrow after Shihan's burial, we'll find a place to talk about it at noon.

It doesn't sound like Li Shuqin is very pleasant. But I can't take care of her mood right now.

After I put the phone on the phone, I always felt that something was wrong.

The feeling that Li Shuqin gave me just now was that she didn't seem to be sad about the death of her stepdaughter, but she felt a sense of relief in her tone

Then I thought about it again: there is another suspicion in this call!

Li Shuqin said that she called Shangguan Xin herself? But she shouldn't have Shangguan Xin's phone!

Although Shangguan Xin has always been in the mourning hall, I haven't seen any connection between her and Li Shuqin. Although Zhao Shanfu gave her her phone number in the white envelope, Shangguan Xin was not

I still don't know how much I know about Shangguan Xin, but she always gives me some unpredictable feelings.

Now that I think about it, what I really don't understand is actually how much Shangguan Xin knows?

That's when there was a knock on my door.

When I opened the door, Liu Yuwei looked at me impatiently: How long do you have to sleep? It's noon!

I'm sorry, you didn't sleep well at night, you're in good spirits, are you? Well? I said a little apologetically, and then took a closer look at her face, only to see that she was actually wearing a pair of huge sunglasses.

I didn't sleep well all night, I had nightmares and both eyes were swollen. Liu Yuwei explained.

Nightmares? Why?

I don't know, imagine the girls nailed to the mausoleum, I close my eyes as if I can see them, I have learned a lot of history at home, but why haven't I seen such history? Liu Yuwei shook her head and said.

History has never been a fun thing, there are a lot of darkness hidden in the corners of history, but most of them are unknown, and the rumors of those cool officials have historical records, and these things that Meng Bian Nian engaged in don't even have a historical record, that is the most terrifying and disgusting thing.

Okay, are we going to open that coffin today and take out the body inside? Liu Yuwei didn't seem to want to discuss it, looked at me and said.

Well, get your stuff ready, let's go.

I went to find Lao Song first, and found a stretcher in Lao Song, a body bag, etc., and we have special equipment for collecting corpses from funeral science, and Lao Song told me to be careful and didn't say anything, and then I went to where the cold bolt was, and the cold bolt said that it was calling up Zhao Shihan's QQ chat history and friend list, and this thing must be found in Tencent's server to see if there is one.

If you can't find it locally, you can only go to Tencent's server to find it.,By the way,Tencent's server is far richer than you think.。 Leng Shuan said with a smile.
