Chapter 40: Methods of Interrogation
"Dogs, push harder! The whip hit your grandfather and me as if I hadn't eaten. ”
The brawny man who was being interrogated by whipping roared arrogantly.
The door of the interrogation room was not closed, and when the strong man saw Zhao Wujiang and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu who were drinking tea comfortably outside the door, he roared arrogantly:
"Hey, grandpa, I said, the two dog officers outside the door, ah, your subordinates haven't eaten, you are full at a glance, do you want to come up and beat your grandfather and me? Ha ha. ”
Zhao Wujiang glanced at him and continued to drink tea with an indifferent expression, he wanted to dry a few cheating candidates for a while to give them some psychological pressure.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu slapped the table heavily and glared angrily at the criminal department member Wailang:
"Is there no one in your criminal department? Do you want to transfer someone from the Ministry of Etiquette? ”
"Little... Villain this... Here it goes. The member of the criminal department bowed down, not daring to look at the book of the Ministry of Rites.
He rolled up his sleeves, walked to the strong man, took the whip from the little officer, and whipped it the strong man.
The strong man was in pain, and instead of begging for mercy, he laughed and kept making mockery.
"Say, where are your accomplices hiding? Say it or not, ah, say it! The face of the criminal department member Wai Lang was hideous, and from time to time he glanced at the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who was still angry, and the whip became more and more fierce.
"Say your mother, haha, it's not impossible to ask Uncle Ben to say it.
Let the kid who is drinking tea outside come in, let grandpa and I have fun, and have fun, I will naturally say, hahaha. ”
Wai Lang, a member of the criminal department, had a frightened look in his eyes, he had seen Zhao Wujiang's power, for fear that Zhao Wujiang would be angry when he heard this, and he would be punished together.
He gritted his teeth, and the torture whip exhaled the wind, and it was whipped on the strong man's body, and it was immediately a blood mark.
The tool dog of the criminal department on the side smelled blood and barked wildly.
Several cheating candidates were shivering outside the interrogation room, wondering if they would be interrogated like this later.
"Tea drinker, grandpa, I really want to taste a scholar with fine skin and tender meat like you, haha, don't be afraid, come in, grandpa, I will be very gentle, haha." The strong man was covered in blood, but he kept shouting, looking like a hob meat.
Wai Lang, a member of the criminal department, trembled in his heart and roared angrily: "Equip the torture whip with a steel needle." ”
"I'll do it." A cold glint flashed in Zhao Wujiang's eyes, and he slowly put down his teacup.
Shame and anger...... The Ministry of Rites was stunned, Zhao Wujiang wanted to come in person? He is certainly a scholar with some talent, but what kind of interrogation can he know?
Zhao Wujiang took out the medicine bottle from the medicine box, and the various medicinal powders continued to merge, and finally combined into a pile of gray-brown medicinal powder.
He picked up the powder and walked into the interrogation room, and ordered the little official to pour it into the strong man.
"Haha, you dog officer, do you want to poison grandpa and me?"
"Poisoned your grandfather and me, you don't want to catch anyone else."
"Don't worry, this is the medicine I concocted, and I can't die." Zhao Wujiang looked indifferent and said lightly.
A few officials and members of the criminal department were stunned, medicine? What's the use of this thing interrogation?
But soon, the strong man's expression changed drastically, and his face was like a bloodshot, and it quickly became rosy.
The strong man looked hideous and wanted to release it, but there was nowhere to vent, his body was like a scorching flame, and severe pain swept through his body.
"Big ...... My lord, I know it's wrong, it's really wrong. ”
The strong man shuddered, and he tried to break free from the chains, which shook and rattled.
Outside the door, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu heard the movement, stood up in confusion, and walked towards the interrogation room, and as soon as he approached the interrogation room, he heard a heart-rending roar from inside.
"My lord, they are hiding in ...... Yes! No... Ah, go away, my lord, I said they were hiding...... Yes! ”
What's going on inside?
The Ministry of Rites shuddered and hurriedly took a step back.
He heard Zhao Wujiang's majestic and fierce voice again: "Lord Ben doesn't want to hear it now!" ”
"Ahh Tongfu Inn is Tongfu Inn, my lord, Tongfu...... Ahh
The expressions of everyone outside the door became more and more frightened, and they became more and more in awe of Zhao Wujiang, thinking that they must not offend him.
The cheating examinee waiting to be interrogated squatted in the corner with his head in his hands, his body trembling constantly.
The sound lasted for nearly half a cup of tea before it slowly stopped.
In the gaze of everyone outside the door, the door of the interrogation room was opened, and Zhao Wujiang walked out with an indifferent expression, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth.
"What are you looking at?" Zhao Wujiang asked.
Wai Lang, a member of the criminal department, and several junior officials hurriedly looked away, and the candidates who were waiting to be interrogated buried their heads deeply.
Zhao Wujiang looked at the Ministry of Rites Shangshu with a solemn and dull face, and was about to reach out to shake him awake.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, the Ministry of Rites hurriedly retreated, as if Zhao Wujiang's hands were the most terrifying thing in the world.
When the door of the interrogation room opened, he saw the strong man bound by iron chains inside who was trembling in despair, his clothes were torn, and his body was covered with claw marks.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu stumbled and almost fell, and Zhao Wujiang was about to help him, but he hurriedly dodged away.
"Zhao... Zhao... Zhao Da... My lord, I'm... I'll do it myself... Come! The Ministry of Rites got up and hurried to his seat.
"Why are you guys stunned? Didn't you hear what the people inside just said? The others were hiding at the Tongfu Inn. Zhao Wujiang said in a deep voice.
"Hurry, go! Go arrest someone..."
Wai Lang, a member of the Criminal Department, suppressed his fear, hurriedly ordered a few small officials, and bowed down to Zhao Wujiang again:
"Toto... Lord Xie Zhao. ”
Zhao Wujiang bowed his head and turned his head to look at the few candidates who were squatting in the corner and shivering.
"You, the ...... of cheating in the imperial examination"
Before Zhao Wujiang finished speaking, a candidate fell to his knees with a puff, kowtowed, and said: "The villain knows his mistakes, he shouldn't cheat in the imperial examination, I hope the adult is the first offender in the villain, let the villain go." ”
This candidate spoke extremely quickly, for fear that Zhao Wujiang would not give him a chance to speak.
"Xiaosheng should not cheat, he is willing to accept punishment, and he just wants adults to be able to raise their noble hands."
"Originally, I didn't want to cheat, but listening to their slander, I regret not being at the beginning, my lord, my lord, you spare me."
“……”
One by one, the candidates poured beans into a bamboo tube, saying everything that should be said and what should not be said, they looked at Zhao Wujiang's indifferent and majestic face, their hearts trembled, and the screams of the arrogant and strong man just now were still vivid.
When Zhao Wujiang arrived in front of the candidate who was cheating in the Ming Jing Science Examination Room, he stopped and stared at the candidate like a torch:
"What's your name?"
