Feng San was already dizzy and uncomfortable from being beaten, and after hearing Zhao Ning's words, his facial features were even more painfully twisted together.

No matter how he thinks of himself or how tall he thinks his image is, it can't change the fact that there is a difference between him and Zhao Ning. Here, he is just an ant under Zhao Ning's boots.

The villagers wanted to go over to support him, but they were afraid to move because of the might of Zhao Ning and others.

Only a young man who looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old quickly crawled over with all four hands, and helped Feng San, who couldn't get up on his own, to sit down reluctantly.

Zhao Ning ignored the young man, sat like Mount Tai, and said in a tone that was not heavy but murderous:

"The year before last, there was a great drought in Hedong, and many people fled to the capital, and you were among them. Because there are so many people, you don't find a job here, and you are going to starve to death.

"It was my Zhao family and other families who took pity on you, and took you and many of your villagers into custody and gave you a bite to eat when their Zhuangzi did not need more tenants. That is why you and your families will survive.

"It's just that you don't want to repay the favor, this time you actually joined forces with some sects to conspire to harm my Zhao family, and when you were fighting at the dam, you ruthlessly killed the innocent villagers of Hekou Village.

"What qualifications do you have to be great for your beastly behavior? Where is your conscience? It seems to me that you are not even worthy of being a human being. ”

Feng San was already languishing, but after hearing Zhao Ning's words, he suddenly became extremely angry again. Anger gave him strength, stared at Zhao Ning straightened his waist, gritted his teeth and said:

"Since I, Feng San, have fallen into your hands today, if I want to kill you, I have done this murderous act, and I don't plan to live!

"But it's wishful thinking that you want me to confess and let you take away what I bought with my life from my family!"

"You have taken us in, but this is just a means for you to gain fame and fame! For the sake of wealth and unkindness, all the rich and noble people in the world are the same! How many people want me to be grateful to you because your family is ruined? I can't wait to eat your flesh!"

Seeing Feng San's resolute attitude, as if he had already made up his mind to die, Zhao Ning no longer wasted time and nodded at Tang Xing.

With a wave of the latter's hand, two of his henchmen stepped forward with a sinister smile and tied Feng San, who was already seriously injured, to two wooden shelves with another tenant who was almost forty years old.

Because the jailer was a cultivator, he acted quickly, and the tenant who was not beaten, and when he resisted slightly, he was punched and kicked by the jailer in front of him, until he lay on the ground and had no strength to get up.

The torture soon began, and the two jailers were masters of the torture process, and they knew all kinds of torture tools and torture methods by heart.

They first smashed their fingers one by one, then inserted bamboo sticks into the wounds, and then used red-hot old iron to inflict arbitrary acts on them, and in the fourth step, they set up an iron pot and fire at their feet, to steam each other raw.

Feng San was quite stiff, he didn't scream from beginning to end, but he snorted from time to time, his teeth creaked, and his face was wrinkled into buns.

The pain made him faint several times, but he was immediately woken up by cold water, and he could only endure the torture continuously.

The other tenant was not so strong-willed, and the screams of the pig did not stop, and when the smell of boiled meat wafted from the iron pot under his feet, he finally could not accept the fear of being cooked a little bit, and begged the jailer for mercy.

As he gave in, the other tenants, who were sweating and trembling just by watching the torture, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

If the other party does not confess, the next thing is that they will be severely tortured

Torture, such a means of torture, no one can confidently survive it.

"Xu Lao Er, you can't say it!" Feng San, who was already dying and lowered his head, struggled with his arms for a moment, and let out a low roar from his throat, "If you say it, our efforts will all be in vain!"

"Think about your seriously ill mother, do you want her to die of illness because she can't afford medicine?!Think about your two sons, you want them to live like dogs like you all their lives, let the rich slaughter, and they can't eat enough if they try their best?!

"Walking on the Stars"

"Have you forgotten what we said at the time? Even if we die ourselves, we must let our parents enjoy happiness, and let our children and grandchildren no longer have to grovel to be human beings!"

His words came to an abrupt end, and the jailer in front of him grabbed him by the throat, not letting him continue to bewitch his companion.

But this was enough, the middle-aged tenant who was not a man heard Feng San's words, his whole body was shocked, and his scattered eyes also brightened, which was the color of determination, so he spat at the jailer in front of him and shouted frantically:

"You bastard, you have the ability to kill grandpa, otherwise grandpa will never let you go in his life! You straight thief, an eagle dog who fights for tigers, a filthy and filthy erection, grandpa is going to eat your flesh raw......."

The middle-aged tenant roared under his breath as he twisted his head and opened his mouth to bite, as if he really wanted to eat the jailer's meat. This made the jailer furious, picked up the iron awl on the wooden table next to him, and was about to stab the other man in the body with his backhand.

At that moment, there was no fear in the eyes of the middle-aged tenant, only the ease of being about to be liberated.

Obviously, he knew that he would not survive the next torture, so he could only provoke the jailer to ask for a quick death.

Before the iron awl in the jailer's hand touched the middle-aged tenant, the fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy suddenly went berserk, rushed over, and slammed into the jailer, trying to knock him down so that he could not kill the middle-aged tenant.

It's a pity that his strength is not great enough, and the jailer is a cultivator, so the latter's feet didn't move, but this young man, who was so young that his hands were already stained with human life, was shocked and fell to the ground.

"Stop, stop! You will be punished for being so tyrannical and unreasonable!"

The emaciated young man cried out in despair and grief, and after being grabbed by the jailer's neck and lifted up, his legs were kicking and his hands were flapping, and his mouth was still shouting intermittently:

"Let go of me, you ...... These bastards who are careless of human life, I just made a ghost, and I ...... I won't let you go!"

Seeing that the young man was pinched and his eyes rolled white, his face turned from red to purple, and he was about to lose his breath, Feng San twisted his body violently, trying to break free from the chains, his face was extremely angry and anxious, and he yelled at the jailer:

"Let him go! He's still a kid! You bastard, do you have any humanity?!"

The other three tenants lying on the ground were originally quite scared, but at this time, seeing that the young man was about to be strangled to death, his complexion also changed, and he rushed up one after another to save the other party.

It didn't help, the jailer kicked them one by one, and easily kicked them out. He was not lightly attacked, and these tenants slammed into the wall and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a while, so they could only scream indiscriminately.

When Tang Xing saw this, his face was already very displeased. A good interrogation was turned into a vegetable market by these people, which made him feel very faceless in front of Zhao Ning, and his ability was very low.

If it weren't for the fact that the case was not closed now, it was still in the hands of the officials, and these people were the most important people involved, and they couldn't die, he would have wanted to kill two people to establish his authority, so that others could confess quickly.

Thinking of this, Tang Xing sneered to the two jailers with dissatisfaction:

"Give me a little sharpness in my hands and feet! How long has it been, and before the trial has been resolved, you will rely on this skill to eat? There will be no heavy punishment? Will you break your hands and feet?"

Seeing Tang Xing talking like this, he didn't treat a few tenants as human beings at all, Zhao Ning was a little moved.

In the official statement of the Great Qi Dynasty, the reason why the emperor promoted the imperial examination and increased the scale of the Hanmen was because these commoner scholars came from the people, understood the people's livelihood better, knew what the ordinary people needed, and could be more sympathetic to the people and better work for the people, so that the country could be governed.

But judging from Tang Xing's performance, after he became an official of the imperial dynasty, he did not have much empathy for civilians with the same identity as himself, and his treatment of these people was not gentler than that of the children of the family.

Seeing that Tang Xing was angry, the two jailers couldn't help but look embarrassed, and then turned into anger.

They didn't dare to have any opinions on Tang Xing, an official, so these civilians without any background in front of them naturally became the targets of their venting.

But they didn't.

Zhao Ning, who had been sitting, suddenly spoke: "Stop." ”

The will of these tenants was unexpectedly strong. People who would rather die than open their mouths are rare in this world, and it makes even more unreasonable for a group of treacherous people to behave like this.

If they continue to interrogate like this, they will really break their hands and feet, and I am afraid that it will attract the attention of the officials and cause a lot of trouble.

The interrogation should be done differently.

The older jailer clasped his fists and saluted, and said respectfully to Zhao Ning: "Zhao Gongzi, you only need to give us a little more time, and the villain guarantees that these people's bones are rotten, and they will definitely speak!"

Zhao Ning saw the fierce light in the eyes of this jailer, which was not much different from Tang Xing's eyes, they were all angry that Feng San and these people were too hard, which made them lose face, and they wanted to immediately double their revenge and come back to prove themselves.

Zhao Ning suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

Mo said that those lonely and lonely people who endured decades of hard study, and finally fought out of thousands of troops and horses, and successfully obtained the status of Jinshi, these prison guards are all from ordinary people's homes, and they don't have much sympathy for civilians.

What they are showing now is a great fascination with and reliance on the limited power in their hands, and they do not allow others to provoke and question them.

For this reason, as long as they are "justified", they do not hesitate to torture other civilians who enter this prison into inhuman appearances to prove that they are worthy of this extremely limited authority.

Are poor officials really beneficial to the country's social welfare? Zhao Ning, a son of a family, had doubts in his heart.

However, this is not the time to think deeply about this issue, Zhao Ning waved his hand, signaled to stop the torture, and asked another jailer to put down the young man who was about to be strangled to death by him, and then said to Feng San:

"If nothing else, everyone here today will be tortured very badly, your will is strong enough, but not everyone can care about life and death.

"In addition, although your family is under the protection of Jingzhao Mansion, I can come here to do whatever I want to you, and naturally I can send someone to kill your family.

"But I don't want to do that, and of course, to make no secret of it, it's not good for me. So I'll give you a chance, as long as you explain what you did and explain why you can betray the Zhao family with peace of mind, I may not kill your whole family. ”

Feng San's eyes changed, and he hesitated.

The young man who finally gasped for breath glanced back at Feng San, who was dying, his face was full of unbearable and painful pain, and he turned his head and said to Zhao Ning impatiently: "As long as you don't kill people, as long as it's not a matter of weapon fighting, I'm willing to say it!"
