When Yang Yingqian returned home, Ye Changqing was sitting in the front hall drinking tea, and when he saw Yang Yingqian coming back, he hurriedly stood up from his seat.

"My lord, as you expected, after you left that day, I took a few brothers to lie dormant near the Wen family, and that night, sure enough, a member of the Wen family secretly went out of the city."

"In order not to startle the snake, the small few people quietly followed behind this family all the way to Baogai Mountain, which is not far from Lingyuan Mountain, and saw him enter a village built according to the mountain in the depths of the mountain, and from a distance, there must be a hundred and ten people in the village, which should be the lair of the gang of bandits."

Listening to Ye Changqing's report, Yang Yingqian nodded contemplatively: "This family should have been sent by Wen Yingju to report the news, but I didn't expect this gang of bandits to dare to set up camp under our noses, and they didn't even take the officials and soldiers in their eyes!" ”

Yang Yingqian snorted heavily as he spoke.

In fact, it cannot be said that this group of bandits is bold, it can only be said that in recent years, the military equipment of Fujian's guard posts has been seriously deserted, and their control over the surrounding areas is not as good as before.

It's not an easy task to build a cottage in the mountains, and in the past few years, the local government has not heard a little rumor, and has not received news that caravans or pedestrians have been robbed, how do these hundreds of bandits live?

Unless.....

A thought flashed through Yang Yingqian's mind.

"Where's that guy now?"

"That Wen family's family didn't stay for a long time, it came out after about a stick of incense, and the little one felt that this person must know something, so he arrested him!" Ye Changqing looked at Yang Yingqian's face as he spoke, as if he was afraid that he would blame him for acting without permission.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yingqian laughed: "You did a good job, I didn't expect you to really have the potential to be an agent, lock that person in a room alone, I'll go and let Dayong prepare some good things first, and we'll go to meet this person together in a while!" ”

Ye Changqing was relieved when he saw that Yang Yingqian was not angry, but Ye Changqing was a little confused about the word "agent" that Lord Yang just said, maybe it was a dialect of praise in the adult's hometown, Ye Changqing muttered quietly in his heart.

In ancient times, many dignitaries and nobles had private prisons in their mansions to punish their subordinates who made mistakes, and there was also a such house in the southwest corner of the backyard of the house where Yang Yingqian now lives.

It's just that Yang Yingqian has always been generous to the subordinates in the house, and this small house has become a place to pile up sundries.

But today, this small room, which has always been quiet, is very lively, and there is a constant crunch of whips whipping flesh and screams.

When Yang Yingqian and Ye Changqing entered the house, a shirtless Xiaoqi was interrogating the family who was arrested by Ye Changqing, and the family seemed to have been whipped, his body was covered with scars, and the blood flowed down his clothes and had already pooled at the feet of the family.

"My lord, this kid can resist to death, except for admitting that he is the Wen family's family, he doesn't say a word!"

This small flag of the interrogator was sent by Sun Dayong from the military discipline team, called Zhao San. I used to work as a government officer for several years, so I was good at whipping.

Zhao San usually practiced the leather whip, a whip can break a brick, when interrogating a prisoner, the leather whip is soaked in water mixed with pepper and salt, and a whip can kill a person, but today he encountered a hard bone, and he resisted for half an hour, but he didn't move, Zhao San felt that his wrists were a little sore.

Yang Yingqian walked up to this family member and looked up and down a few times.

"What's your name?"

"The little Wen Fu is the house slave of the Wen family, I don't know why this military master arrested the little one, the little one has never broken the law!" Wen Fu replied weakly.

"What a loyal house slave, then let me ask you, what are you doing in the middle of the night going to Baogai Mountain?" Yang Yingqian stared at Wen Fu and asked.

Wen Fu's eyes dodged, as if he was a little weak-hearted.

"The villain has a hysteria since he was a child, and sometimes he doesn't know why he loves to run out in the middle of the night, but this time he is sick again, but he didn't expect to be brought here by these military masters as soon as he woke up."

Listening to Wen Fu's nonsense and no truth, Yang Yingqian smiled coldly. Although the hiding place of those bandits was already known, it was uncertain whether the fifty stone tobacco was in Baogai Mountain.

And he currently has no direct evidence to prove that the Wen family has a direct connection with this matter, so the testimony of Wen Fu in front of him is very important.

At that moment, Yang Yingqian smiled meaningfully.

"So, my people have wronged you?"

Without waiting for Wu Fu to react, Yang Yingqian turned around and glanced at Ye Changqing.

"Changqing, go and tell the kitchen to cook a few dishes, let's have a few drinks with this Brother Wen!"

"My lord, this kind of stubbornness and skin, you give me half an hour, and the small custody will let him survive and not die!" Ye Changqing said with a fierce face.

Yang Yingqian smiled noncommittally when he heard this.

"Changqing, although violence can solve some things, it can't solve everything, as court officials, we must convince people with virtue, so that the people can feel the grace of the court."

Ye Changqing stopped insisting when he heard Yang Yingqian say this, turned around and went out to order the kitchen to prepare dishes.

The back kitchen of Yang's Mansion was very neat, and in less than half an hour, he fried two meat, two vegetarian dishes, and sent two pots of wine.

Yang Yingqian Shi Ran walked to the seat and sat down, and then ordered someone to tie Wu Fusong to sit on the opposite side of the table, and let Ye Changqing and Zhao San on the side accompany him. Ye Changqing sighed, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Lord Yang's gourd, so he had to sit next to him.

Zhao San poured wine for Yang Yingqian and Ye Changqing with a very good eye, Yang Yingqian smiled at Wu Funu, Zhao San understood, and poured a glass for Wu Fu.

"Zhao Xiaoqi, this official heard that you have worked as an errand in the government before, right?" Yang Yingqian gently smacked his wine and asked.

"Yes, my lord, the little one used to be a messenger in Hui'an County for a few years, and then our guard recruited troops, and the little one came to vote, or Lord Mengsun's support, and the little one was promoted to a small flag officer last month," Zhao San replied respectfully.

Yang Yingqian drank all the wine in the glass but did not put the glass down, but took it in his hand and played with it, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I don't know what punishment is usually used to interrogate prisoners in this government?"

Zhao San hesitated for a moment, as if he was a little puzzled why Yang Yingqian asked this question.

"Lord Hui, if the interrogators in this county government encounter those who do not admit their accounts to death, most of them will be punished with canes and whips, and after dozens of greetings, those foolish men and foolish women will obey!"

Zhao San said with a smile on his face, but when he thought of Wu Fu in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little lost his face.

Yang Yingqian touched his chin with interest, as if he was telling Zhao San or Wu Fu opposite.

"Although this cane punishment and whipping are vigorous on the surface, but the real man with hard bones will pass as soon as he stands up, I have heard that there are several punishments in the Jinyi Guard, which are specialized in overcoming this kind of hard bones," he said, his eyes looked at Wu Fu intentionally or unintentionally.

At this time, Wu Fu seemed to have realized what Yang Yingqian wanted to do, but he was still pretending to be calm.

Ye Changqing had already seen Yang Yingqian's intentions at this time, so he opened his mouth and added fire.

"The little one has never heard of the punishment of the Jinyi Guard, and please tell us about it!"

Yang Yingqian cleared his throat and drank the wine on the table again.

"The punishment of this brocade guard can be described as ever-changing and wonderful. You're like this, washing, playing, cooking, pouring, sucking, oops, you can't count them! ”

Yang Yingqian lightly recounted the punishments one by one, and Zhao San and Ye Changqing on the side couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines when they heard it, their own adults were not very old, how could they know so many vicious things, and Wu Fu's body on the side was also trembling more and more violently.

At this time, Yang Yingqian suddenly looked at Zhao San kindly.

"Zhao Xiaoqi, our health institute lacks talents in this area, you have to study and study!"

Zhao San was embarrassed when he heard it: "Adult, it's not that the villain is lazy, it's just that there are no dozens or hundreds of prisoners to practice, and this craft can't be practiced!" ”

Yang Yingqian smiled kindly again when he heard this, and glanced at Wu Fu opposite: "Isn't this ready-made?" I think this Ang brother will definitely be willing to let you practice your hands. ”

Hearing this, Zhao San turned his head and looked at Wu Fu gloomily, as if he was already meat on a chopping board.

Wu Fu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and fell to the ground like mud and kowtowed to Yang Yingqian.

"My lord, please don't talk about it, the little one is ......."
