Feng Pu ignored Tuanlian and the villagers' petitions, but came to Wu Song's side and continued to interrogate: "You keep saying that you are in Yanggu and have not left the city, why did you go back to the city with Wu Zhi?" ”

During this time, Wu Song thought hard about how to reply in order to explain all this reasonably, and Wu Song thought of one method after another, but he denied it.

Wu Song knew that in the face of this paradox, it was difficult to have a perfect solution, so he changed his words and said: "My lord, I did go out of the city, but it was to welcome my brother who returned, but I really haven't been to Fan County, let alone kill anyone, I hope your lord will see it!" ”

Fortunately, there was a petition from the military and civilians, which gave Wu Song enough time to think, otherwise in a hurry, Wu Song would definitely show his feet.

But Feng Pu obviously didn't believe this statement: "The rhetoric before and after is completely different, and he dares to deceive his own officials, so obsessive, unscrupulous, and vain called a hero." ”

However, no matter how Feng Pu ridiculed, Wu Song was unmoved, insisting that he had never been to Fan County, let alone killed anyone.

Seeing that Wu Song was silent, Feng Pu knew that the interrogation had entered a deadlock again, and sighed: "In this case, you will continue to enjoy this drop of water punishment until you tell the truth." ”

After Feng Pu left, Wu Song secretly swore that even if he died of dripping water, he would never say a word again.

In just this one round, Wu Song fully realized Feng Pu's terribleness, and the young Yin of Kaifeng Mansion really lived up to his reputation.

And Feng Pu did not chase Wu Song hard, obviously there were still tricks waiting for him.

Wu Song knew that in front of Feng Pu, he said too much and made many mistakes, so he chose to keep his mouth shut.

It's just that this drop of water is like a hanging sword, torturing Wu Song all the time.

Wu Song didn't know how long he could hold on, perhaps, it wouldn't be long before he would really die from this inhuman torture.

Maybe when he can't stand it anymore, Wu Song will not hesitate to bite his tongue and commit suicide, and he will be relieved when he dies.

Although Wu Song also heard the shouts of the soldiers in the regimental training, it was obvious that Feng Pu was not affected in any way.

Wu Song didn't know if the soldier's actions could save Cao Cao and himself, let alone whether he could survive that day.

……

Feng Pu turned around and went to the dungeon where Cao Cao was being held, and ordered Yang Lu to release Cao Cao from the dungeon.

Cao Cao walked out of the dungeon with a distracted expression, and unconsciously blocked his eyes with his hands.

A few rays of sunlight coming in through the window were not enough to illuminate the entire prison, but Cao Cao had lived in a dungeon for a long time and had not seen the light of day, and when he suddenly saw the sun, he was also stimulated to tears.

As soon as Yang Lu let go, Cao Cao fell directly to the ground.

It turned out that after three days of torture, Cao Cao's legs and feet were already swollen and could barely stand.

Under the eaves, he had to bow his head, and Cao Zhi, who fell into prison, had a thousand tricks and had no way to do it, so he had to fall into such an embarrassing situation, and he had completely lost his former demeanor.

However, Cao Cao knew that this was the price he should pay for taking away Master Li.

From the moment he decided to take Master Li away, Cao Cao expected that sooner or later there would be such a day, and even secretly rejoiced that his current situation was much better than he had expected.

Cao Cao also heard the call for group training, and only then did he know that he had been in the dungeon for three days, but he also knew very well in his heart that as long as he held on for a while, victory was ahead.

Feng Pu has not found direct evidence to convict Cao Cao so far, so there is a high probability that he will not be able to find it in the future.

As long as Wu Song and Wang Meng were not beaten into tricks, as long as they withstood it, it was Cao Cao who won in the end.

Feng Pu looked at Cao Cao's miserable appearance and said contemptuously: "Isn't it naïve to expect a group of rabble to save you?" I'm not Ding Yu, do you think it will be useful? ”

Cao Cao did not answer Feng Pu directly, but said to himself: "I once had a strong opponent, he spread benevolence and righteousness, gathered the hearts of the people, won talents, and finally achieved a great cause. From him, I learned a truth, the will of the people is the most powerful force. ”

After hearing this, Feng Pu laughed loudly: "Benevolence and righteousness are the royal way, how can you use it." To tell you the truth, the only one who can save you is yourself, and if you want to get out of here, you can only confess your sins truthfully, and you can suffer less flesh and skin. ”

Cao Cao sighed heavily and said in a deep voice, "Lord Feng, do you think it makes sense to say this now?" Either you find evidence to sentence me, or you let me out, it's useless to talk more! ”

When Feng Pu heard Cao Cao's words, he was furious, it was the first time he had met such a stubborn criminal, and he dared to openly provoke him.

Feng Pu pointed at Cao Cao and said angrily: "Bold Wuzhi! Since you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, and you don't give up if you don't see the Yellow River, then don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

"Leave and right, give this guy a hundred kills! I'd like to see if his mouth can be so tight! ”

Cao Cao understood that the more critical the moment, the more cautious he became, so he did not hesitate to provoke Feng Pu to make his position clear.

Hearing that Feng Pu was going to be tortured, Cao Cao was not afraid at all, and said coldly: "My lord has lived in the temple for a long time, and you should know that Emperor Taizu has set up three oath monuments, one of which is not allowed to kill the doctor." ”

"Zhezong has the law of three exemptions, which explicitly orders the court officials to commit crimes, not to die, not to be corrupted, not to be roded."

"In the seventh year of Zhenghe, the edict of the Heavenly Family said that the rest of the edict was determined by the public evidence, and it was still taken to defend itself, and there was no need to torture it. Dare to ask adults, have you forgotten? ”

Seeing that Feng Pu didn't speak, Cao Cao continued: "Let me ask my lord again, if I am weak and tortured to death, how can my lord be worthy of the emperor's legacy?" And how to block the mouth of the world? ”

"Outside the prison, there are still 500 soldiers and countless people, if you know that I have been tortured and died, how should you deal with the aftermath?"

"Above the temple, how should we explain the disregard for the holy will?"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, Feng Pu was impressed with him again, he didn't expect Cao Cao to have such eloquent talent.

Feng Pu knew that what Cao Cao said was the truth, and in order to highlight the status of Wenchen, the Great Song Dynasty treated literati favorably from Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.

Today, Zhao Ji has issued several edicts to treat scholars and doctors well, and not to talk about them casually, so as not to make people despise Juelu.

It is precisely because of the tradition of not being able to punish doctors that the Song Dynasty has become a paradise for civil servants for all dynasties, and its social status is extremely high.

Shi Renyun: "Treat the doctor politely, as in this dynasty." ”

This is also the reason why Feng Pu categorically refused Yang Lu to beat Cao Cao to kill the powerful stick at the beginning, just throwing Cao Cao into the dungeon, Feng Pu also thought about it for a long time.

At this moment, Feng Pu was exhausted, and felt so powerless for the first time. He had a gut feeling that it wouldn't be long before Cao Cao would be acquitted......
