After the next dynasty, Sun Zhaoyuan found Lu Buyun, the secretary of the ministry, asked for a roster of national officials, and lent all the officials who did not agree with Nuyid to Dali Temple.

In the imperial court, there are confidants. Naturally, there will inevitably be hostile factions, even if they are as cautious as Nuyd, they are also among the officials, offending many colleagues. Lu Buyun, as the secretary of the ministry, naturally knows all about these situations.

Sun Zhaoyuan checked carefully, and found that there were thirty or forty officials, big and small, who were extremely incompatible with Nuyde. At the moment, he was overjoyed, said goodbye to Lu Buyun, returned to Dali Temple, and issued the secondment order to the officials in the list with the order of Dali Temple.

Those officials, who usually suffered the loss of Nuyde, or were vigorously oppressed by Nuyde's faction, got this order at this time, and it was not easy to retaliate, so they all geared up and immediately went to Dali Temple to report to Sun Zhaoyuan.

Among them, there is an official named Wu Zhao, who was originally the head of the Criminal Department, and the official is to the fourth grade, but he doesn't want to, and the Nu family's descendant Lu Sutai is extremely inconsistent, so Nu Yide secretly contacted and found a Wu Zhao's No, the son of heaven demoted him to a seven-grade petty official, guarding the granary.

Wood Zhao especially hated Lu Sutai and Nuyd, thinking every day that these two people ruined his future, and if he seized the opportunity, he would repay his grievances.

Sun Zhaoyuan has won these thirty or forty powerful generals, so he naturally knows how to use them.

Sun Zhaoyuan summoned these officials and said: "What Nuyid has done is a great crime of killing the head and exterminating the clan, and naturally he will not leave evidence, so your first priority is not to search the mansion to find evidence, but to seize the time and torture to extract confessions, in order to find a confession, and send all the people to prison." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan's move is nothing more than knowing that Nuyid was wronged by himself, how could he find evidence, only torture to extract confessions, maybe someone can't resist being able to bend into a confession, or if Nuyid is accidentally tortured to confess, it is also a good thing to die suddenly, anyway, it is not himself who was tortured, and he will not be guilty of death, but if Nuyid dies, his family can be saved, so that even if he is responsible, it is also cost-effective to be demoted by the saint.

Those officials, when they heard the presiding judge's explanation, were naturally overjoyed, and those who had hatred were ready to take revenge, and those who had grievances were ready to take revenge. Na Wu Zhao himself stepped forward and recommended himself: "Lord Sun, Xia Guan once served as the head of the Criminal Department, and he is especially good at interrogating criminals, and Nanuid and Lu Sutai framed me for being corrupt and perverted the law, and demoted me to the owner of the granary. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan was happy when he heard this, so he handed over the torture of Lu Sutai and Nuyid to Wu Zhao.

That Wood Zhao is worthy of being an official from the Criminal Department, and all kinds of means come as soon as he says.

Wu Zhao didn't ask directly, he ordered someone to tie Lu Sutai and Nuyid up, and put them up with a bamboo, like two roast ducks hanging in the air, tied for more than ten days, their arms were dislocated, the rope was embedded in the bone marrow, and both of them were in pain, and they wanted to die immediately. Na Wu Zhao moved the desk, dining table and bed to the prison, whether it was reading a book or eating or sleeping and recuperating, he looked at the two of them, as if admiring a famous painting, and his heart was full of joy, and said: "I didn't expect that the two of you would have fallen into the hands of the official today, and the pain that the two of you gave to the official will be doubled to pay back if the official is not good for life." ”

Nuyid said: "Wu Zhao, you are lawless, corrupt and pervert the law, and you hate not to ask the Holy God on that day to cut you with a thousand knives, so that you can have today's disaster." ”

Wu Zhao said angrily: "Stop, this official is just in the festival, received a small gift from his subordinates, and you two said that he is a corrupt person, if this official is also corrupt and perverted the law, then the official will ask you, in the past, every festival, a group of officials sent a small bag of gifts to your mansion, can also be piled up, then this, is it considered a corruption and perversion of the law." If you have the surname Nu, you don't only allow the officers and soldiers to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps. If the official really took some dirty money and was caught by you, the official would admit it, he was a man and dared to act, but you used such a small thing to belittle the official as the granary owner, and cut off my future, and it would be difficult for the official to swallow such a vicious anger. Today, it is your two lives, you can know the things of the world, and the cycle of karma is unpleasant. ”

Lu Sutai said: "Wu Zhao, that's not to blame you for not knowing what to do, contradicting your superiors, the official asks you, as a superior, the official asks about the case, it is the responsibility of the official, but you are not easy to answer, your words are full of slackness, if you are allowed to do so, how can the official walk in the criminal department, and do you still have face?" ”

Wood Zhao said: "Then you are also arrogant and despise your subordinates. The official asked you, every time I saw you in the Criminal Department, the official greeted you with a smile, but you turned a blind eye every time, the official asked you to report the matter, and you also treated the official lightly, even in the public court, in full view of the public, verbally insulting the official. With such a triumph, how can this official tolerate these evil spirits. ”

Lu Sutai said: "You are just an official from a jinshi, and you have a little talent, so you think that the rest of the officials of the criminal department will look down on you a few times, and the most annoying thing about this official in his life is that you don't know your own weight and look at yourself as a high-minded person, in this case, why should you be kind to you?" If it falls into your hands today, you can only use it, and if you beg for mercy, you are not a man. Don't even want to get any false confession from the official. ”

Wood Zhao said: "Then don't blame the official for being ruthless. ”

Wood ordered no food, only to feed the two of them some well water, day and night to send people to beat their hands on the face, so that they could not sleep, and repeatedly poured vinegar into the nostrils of the two people, but in the first month, the two were thin and skinny, delirious, and in two days, they were afraid that they would have to go to see Nukza.

But I didn't want to, someone had already secretly reported the situation in the prison to Saturlu, who rushed to the prison with his family attendants and said loudly: "Stop!"

The attendants of the family hurriedly rushed into the prison and released the two of them.

Wu Zhao looked at Saturlu coming over, and said: "Lord Sa, this case is now handed over to Lord Sun Zhaoyuan by the Holy Lord himself, Lord Sa suddenly rushed into the prison and interrupted the trial, I am afraid that it will be reported to the Holy Lord, it is Lord Sa is not, according to the opinion of the lower officials, it is better for Lord Sa to avoid it." ”

When Saturu heard this, he smiled and said: "What Lord Wu said is very right, although this case is handled by Dali Temple, but this official is also an important minister of the imperial court, and he is a confidential minister in the study, and has the right to dispose of it at the right of the moment. ”

Wu Zhao heard Saturlu say this: "What Lord Sa said is very right, but if you don't torture these two people to extract confessions, how can you get the truth, please make it clear to Lord Sa people." ”

Saturu said: "How to get the truth is the responsibility of you and Sun Zhaoyuan, and it has nothing to do with this official, but this official wants to remind you that if the two suspects are dead, this official guarantees that you will not have a good end, you have to try the case well, don't go wrong." Otherwise, Sun Zhaoyuan won't be able to protect you. ”

When Wu Zhao heard this, he naturally knew that Saturu did have the ability to make his end bad, so Sun Zhaoyuan would be difficult to protect himself, let alone protect him. It's just that the matter has come to this point, if the two of them can get out of the crime, they will also die, so he said: "What the lower officials ask is just to seek the truth for the saint, and the rest of the things, the lower officials ignore it, as for what happens to the lower officials, if they seek the truth, even if they die, they will die without regrets." "Wu Zhao's plan is nothing more than his cheap life, and it is worth it to be buried with Nuyide and Lu Sutai.

When Saturu heard this, he didn't believe his ears at all, and there were still people who could ignore life and death, and had to put Nuyid and Lusutai to death. Saturu did not dare to leave, so he ordered the servants of the family to watch the two of them in the prison, and they could not go on any errands. Those people from Dali Temple, seeing that it was Lord Sa who came in person, did not dare to do any more errands, so the torture to extract confessions stopped.

Satulu said in his heart that he must report the situation of the prison to the Holy Lord at the court meeting early tomorrow morning, otherwise the two of them will die tragically in prison.
