Chapter 169: The Truth About Killing the Young Emperor
"Go get a towel and a bucket of cold water, and I'm going to try the power of waterboarding!"
After the order, someone soon prepared a bucket and a towel to come over, and after forcibly erecting this Li Ru so that his head was lower than the parallel line of his body, he covered his face with a towel.
Li Ru didn't know what Cao Ang was going to do, but at this time, he was quite disdainful, and he even spoke to Cao Ang.
"Master Cao, just with this bucket of water, you want Li to explain everything, you can't help but underestimate me, right?"
After listening to such a provocation, Cao Ang also shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile.
"It's useless to be a hero now, but if Mr. Hou can persevere, he is the real hero. You might as well tell Mr. again, this waterboarding is dedicated to restraining hard-mouthed heroes! ”
As soon as he said a word, Cao Ang no longer hesitated, and immediately poured water on Li Ru's face covered by a towel.
At first, Li Ru still planned to hold his breath to resolve Cao Ang's punishment, but Cao Ang gradually poured water on the face towel on his face, and after the towel was infiltrated by the pervasive water, he couldn't keep holding his breath all the time.
When he was thinking about taking a small breath of air and not inhaling the water stains in it, suddenly his face immediately changed, and then he fell into a violent struggle.
In an instant, a lot of clear water rushed through the tip of his nose and eventually into his lungs.
This feeling of being drowned made Li Ru quite uncomfortable.
And these are not the biggest pains, when he was drowned, Li Ru realized that the pain he was in now was just the beginning of waterboarding!
As his breathing gradually disrupted, he also lost restraint and could only gasp and inhale, but under the wet towel, a thick weakness came.
He only felt as if he had been suffocated from drowning, and he could no longer breathe!
At this moment, he even felt that his soul had been unsheathed, and he saw that Cao Ang was proudly pouring water on his corpse.
This deep fear sent him back into resistance, and at the same time he shouted the words that he was willing to give everything.
It's just that after he lost his breath, such words begging for mercy could no longer be sent.
Just when he thought that he was going to die like this, suddenly the wet towel in front of him was lifted, and in an instant, Li Ru actually felt that his soul had returned to his body, and then he gasped.
It seems that this fresh air is also quite rare at this moment.
"Mr. Li Ru, how is this waterboarding? My son hasn't seriously applied the punishment yet, so I can't hold it anymore, and I don't think you will be able to bear the pain in the back, right? ”
Cao Ang's eyes were also full of disdain, he had almost just watered, it was only a minute, and Li Ru couldn't bear it, this is also too wretched!
After hearing Cao Ang say that he had just started to torture, Li Ru's face changed again, and when he looked at Cao Ang's gaze, he was also quite frightened at this time, and finally he still shouted.
"Don't! I say! I've said it all! ”
When these words were spoken, Cao Ang nodded with satisfaction, and then asked.
"When you came to Xudu this time, you must have been instructed by Li Dao Guo Yan, right? What did they ask you to do? ”
Although what Cao Ang wanted to know most was whether this Li Ruyu killed the young emperor and had anything to do with Liu Xie, but at this time, he was still quite patient and asked step by step.
When Li Ru heard such an inquiry, he was also quite helpless at this time, and could only say his intention.
"After the departure of the Son of Heaven, the two generals Li and Guo Yan fell into the crusade of the princes of the world."
"Prime Minister Cao Cheng even ordered Pei Mao to convene the generals of Guanzhong to conquest the two of them, and when these two were defeated, they also wanted to return to the Son of Heaven in order to protect themselves, and the envoys sent by the two of them were below."
After saying such words, Cao Ang also nodded, obviously knowing that Li Ru's words were true.
Cao Cao has always been at ease with this Li Dao Guo Yan, and the generals of the old department and the division of the former Baibo Army launched an attack on Li Dao Guo Yan under his call.
Under such a round of attacks, even if the Xiliang Army under the command of Li Dao Guo Yan was brave, how could they persist in it.
He sent an envoy to Xu Du to surrender to the Son of Heaven, which is reasonable.
But despite this, Cao Ang still heard the clue at once, and immediately asked.
"Oh? Li Dao Guo Yan sent you to defect to the Son of Heaven? Don't they know that your brother was killed by you today? ”
After Cao Ang's words were spoken, Liu Qin on the side was also short of breath at this time, and she knew that Li Ru's answer at the moment was very likely to solve the doubts in her heart.
Sure enough, after Li Ru heard such an inquiry, his face immediately changed, but he continued to speak after a while.
"Here are the strategists next to Li and Guo Yan, and they have a good relationship with Jia Xu, and after Li and Guo Yan heard that Jia Xu was under the command of Prime Minister Cao Cheng, they also wanted to let them come down to get through the relationship."
Although such a reason is good, Cao Ang doesn't believe it, even if this thing is true, he will definitely not believe it!
"Hehe, looking at the frightened look on Mr.'s face, it seems that this statement is still a bit false, do you need this son to let you see other punishments before Mr. speaks?"
When such words were spoken, Li Ru's whole body immediately trembled, as if he had heard something quite frightened, and finally confessed helplessly.
"Don't! Cao Gongzi don't! I'll give it all! I'll give it all! ”
In this deep panic, Li Ru finally explained the reason why he was sent.
"When I was in Luoyang a few years ago, the Taishi was relieved that the young emperor was not relieved, and let him serve as the young emperor's Lang Zhongling, and at that time the Son of Heaven had some private friendships with him, so he was appointed to come."
As soon as he spoke, Cao Ang's face immediately showed a little surprise.
"Oh? What kind of friendship is it, can the gentleman say it more clearly? Don't be afraid, if you say it, it will be a big deal to die in the future, but if you don't say it, life is worse than death now! ”
After such a threat, Li Ru's whole body trembled again, and finally told his relationship with Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven.
"At the beginning...... Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, once revealed the plan of the Young Emperor to rebel against the Taishi, and even spent a lot of money to make dots around, so that he could help him abolish the Young Emperor and ascend to the throne of the Son of Heaven! ”
"Kill the young emperor, he is also involved in it!"
