Xuansheng wanted to make the Daomen a benchmark, but the result was unsatisfactory.

Xuansheng wanted a Dao Gate that was integrated with the upper and lower paths, but because of the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, the integration of the three paths came to an abrupt end, and by the end of the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, the best opportunity to integrate the three paths had been missed.

Xuansheng wants to abolish many stereotypes and bad habits, such as the slave system, although he successfully abolished the slave system on the surface, that is, what Li Tianlan said, "the personal dependence of the master-slave relationship between the Daomen is not prosperous", but there are still a large number of families within the Daomen, these families are rooted in the Daomen, and they do not completely belong to the Daomen, and there are many family members who are not disciples of the Daomen, which has loopholes, so many Daomen families are still calling slaves and servants, and it is not uncommon for the old servants who are good at cultivation and loyal.

Xuansheng wanted to ban the skin and meat business, but the internal resistance was huge, and in the process of Xuansheng's integration of the Daomen, the Purple Immortal Mountain lineage was firmly on Xuansheng's side from beginning to end, which made it difficult for Xuansheng to choose, and finally reached a compromise and retained the existence of Zixian Mountain, but restricted Yujing from having the existence of the Academy.

There is also torture, the Qingluanwei of the previous dynasty can be said to be notorious, and all kinds of torture are particularly famous. There is another saying in the public gate, called under Miki, why not ask for it. The meaning is also very simple, under torture to extract confessions, you can get whatever confession you want.

It is undeniable that extorting confessions by torture is a double-edged sword, with the advantage that in some cases it is extremely efficient, and the disadvantage is that it is easy to cause unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.

The reason why Xuansheng wants to restrict torture to extract confessions has nothing to do with kindness and kindness, but has to do with the atmosphere.

At the beginning, ninety percent of the case may have been clarified, and only the key confession of the last person remained, so he had to use some means to successfully solve the case.

But people are path dependent, and with this lesson from the past, the next time the case will be ascertained and some means will be used. And so on, seventy percent, sixty percent, fifty percent, in the end, they will fall into the terrible situation of killing the good and risking the merits. After all, it is much more difficult to catch a demon in a secret association than it is to catch an ordinary person.

Of course, Xuan Sheng understands the truth that when the water is clear, there are no fish, and it is difficult to completely ban it, but it must be strictly forbidden in terms of principles and rules. Otherwise, once it is given legitimacy like Qingluanwei, then the "last resort" will soon become "peace of mind" and "justification".

Some things should be forbidden, even if they can't be eliminated, the attitude must be denied, and this is the positive atmosphere.

To this end, Xuansheng has made efforts in two aspects. On the one hand, it is to set the rules and emphasize physical evidence over confessions, and the proportion of confessions in the conclusion of cases has repeatedly declined. Another aspect is the explicit prohibition of torture in all its forms.

Because of this, Xu Kou tortured the prisoner to death, even if the prisoner was a demon of a secret association and did many evils, Xu Kou was still demoted.

It's just that there are policies and countermeasures, Xuan Sheng really underestimated the intelligence of later generations, Xuan Sheng explicitly prohibits all kinds of torture, and even lists an entry, mainly a variety of traditional methods, mainly corporal punishment, but does not prohibit all kinds of intimidation methods, such as pretending to exert torture to exert psychological pressure on prisoners, this is a normal interrogation method, a psychological tactic, not torture to extract confessions.

So later Beichen Hall invented such a thing as "Soul Hooking Whip", bypassing the body, after the torture, there was no scar, naturally it did not belong to corporal punishment, since it was not within the forbidden range of Xuansheng, it could be used.

Because the essence of the "Soul Hook Whip" is illusion, believing it is spiritual, and if you don't believe it, it won't work, so Mu Yan had to babble for a long time before the torture, which was constantly hinting at Ye Xiu, deepening Ye Xiu's fear, and forcing Ye Xiu to believe that it was true. Because illusion is a deception, there is a word "deception", so Beichen Tang classifies the "soul hook whip" as a normal interrogation method pretending to inflict torture, which is already the consensus within the Daomen, even Zhang Yuelu is not exempt from vulgarity.

Xuansheng's incomplete work also caused the special mentality of the people of the Daomen. On the one hand, the people of the Daomen claim to be civilized and regard those outside the Daomen as barbaric. On the other hand, the people in the Daomen are doing similar things to what they see as "barbarians" doing.

I have to say, it's a great irony.

Zhang Yuelu agrees with Xuan Sheng's point of view, so she does not abuse the punishment, but slowly confronts Ye Xiu, if Ye Xiu can't justify herself, or is silent, she will let Mu Yan use the means as a punishment.

Zhang Yuelu is not a person who does not know how to be flexible, now it is a life-and-death battle, and everyone has begun to kill people, if this side still sticks to the rules, then he deserves to lose.

However, after the first dismount, Zhang Yuelu no longer tortured Ye Xiu, but only confronted him face to face.

"That's what Li Zhenren said, King Ye should understand a truth, no one will come to catch you. If anyone comes, it will also come to extinguish the mouth. Zhang Yuelu sat opposite Ye Xiu and put a bookcase in front of her.

This time, there was no "soul hook whip" on Ye Xiu's body, but Ye Xiu's eyes were even darker than the last time he was whipped, and he didn't have any brilliance.

Zhang Yuelu glanced at him and continued: "Maybe King Ye Beggars wants to suspect that I made it up, I won't prove anything, just say one word, what is Li Zhenren's personality and means, King Ye Beggars should know better than me." ”

Beads of sweat oozed from Ye Xiu's forehead, and he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn't make a sound.

Zhang Yuelu waited for a moment before he said: "King Ye Beggar, you only have one way left now, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and you will have a glimmer of life." ”

On the other side, Qi Xuansu was outside the dungeon at this time, leaning against a big tree with his back, putting a cigar given to him by Pei Xiaolou under his nose and sniffing lightly, hesitating whether to taste it.

Although the daylight hours in summer are longer, the sky is completely darkened after half of the hour, and a large moon hangs on the night, the moonlight is excellent, and it is a more suitable day for viewing the moon.

Westerners like night banquets, or dinner parties, and Shi Luosi wants to hold a dinner party to entertain Lei Xiaohuan, so Lei Xiaohuan has not returned.

Pei Xiaolou was fine for the time being, so she came to "inspect" the progress of the interrogation, Zhang Yuelu was unwilling to let Pei Xiaolou interfere with her, so she sent Qi Xuansu to accompany Pei Xiaolou to talk. Pei Xiaolou didn't plan to point fingers, the two came to the outside of the dungeon, and when they talked about all kinds of Western goods, Pei Xiaolou gave Qi Xuansu a cigar and let him taste it, it is said that this cigar costs thirty Taiping dollars.

As he was talking, a Taoist priest from Wanshou Chongyang Palace came to report, and they got the news that there was a Taoist priest in charge of Jiangnan Province who planned to abscond overseas in disguise and by boat, and had already left Jinling Mansion at night, and the key was that the Taoist priest in charge was still Li Tianlan's subordinate. Pei Xiaolou immediately became interested, no longer chatted with Qi Xuansu, and directly led people to arrest the Taoist priest in charge of Jiangnan Provincial Mansion who planned to abscond.

So only Qi Xuansu was left, and the cigar was left. Qi Xuansu didn't have much interest in the interrogation, and he didn't want to go back to the dungeon, so the moonlight was good, so he simply enjoyed the scenery here. After all, not far away is Zhenwu Lake, the moonlight is sprinkled on Zhenwu Lake, sparkling, and a big round of water moon is reflected.

Zhenwu Lake is located in the city, Zhenwu Temple is built with the back of Zhenwu Lake, the whole Zhenwu Temple faces the side of Zhenwu Lake is not walled, only a lake embankment and part of the extension of the water pavilion, water corridor, pavilion and other buildings. In normal times, you can also drive a boat to and fro on the lake, which is the elegance of "taking a small boat at night".

The dungeon is built in the deepest part of the Zhenwu Temple, after all, this is not a glorious place, it is not good to build in a conspicuous place, and the Zhenwu Temple is backed by the Zhenwu Lake, and its deepest part is naturally on the edge of the Zhenwu Lake, so half of the dungeon is an ordinary dungeon, and half is simply a water dungeon built under the lake.

Qi Xuansu was looking at Zhenwu Lake at this time, and he suddenly had an idea, if someone attacked Zhenwu Temple, wouldn't Zhenwu Lake be defenseless?

However, he soon felt that he was overly worried, the True Martial Arts Temple was located in the city of Jinling Mansion, not outside the city, what difference did it make if it was fortified or not. More importantly, because of the excellent scenery near the lake, the residences of the deputy hall masters are all next to the Zhenwu Lake, and if they attack from the lake, it will be much more difficult than attacking head-on.

As for killing people and killing people.

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu did take this into account, but they focused on guarding against the "lone wolf" that quietly mixed in, rather than a large-scale wolf pack.

This is a misunderstanding of thinking, when it comes to extinguishing the mouth, I subconsciously think that it is necessary to be secret, and the fewer people who know, the better. But on the other hand, why secret? Is there still a need for secrecy? The key is to destroy all evidence. Without evidence, even if you know the truth, what can you do?

Although Qi Xuansu felt that it was impossible for someone to attack from the lake, he still felt that something was not quite right. Years of life and death experience have given him a natural instinct for danger.

Since Pei Xiaolou left, he was a little uneasy, and as time passed, this uneasiness became more and more intense, and the surrounding environment always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

After a while, Qi Xuansu reacted, what was wrong.

It's so quiet.

There were no insects, no birds, no frogs.

Frogs mostly hide quietly in the dark, making no noise and not coming into contact with their own kind. However, during the breeding season, they move into the water in groups to reproduce, chirp, and are active day and night, especially on rainy days.

It's summer, and it's the breeding season for frogs.

Not good!

The uneasiness in Qi Xuansu's heart finally reached a fixed point, as if an invisible palm only grabbed Qi Xuansu's heart, making him a little breathless.

At this moment, a small black dot appeared in the bright moon in the sky.

Immediately afterward, the shadow grew bigger and bigger.

Someone stepped on the moon.

On the other side, a figure rose in the water and moon on the surface of the lake.

Qi Xuansu's whole person tensed up and took out the "Divine Dragon Handcuff".

At this time, many shadows emerged from the water one after another, surging towards the shore like water ghosts.

Qi Xuansu opened a warning shot to the sky.

Today is destined to be a sleepless night.
