Ding Bin's action against the wall just now was very fast, Wang Yu was really scared out of sweat, it doesn't matter if an ordinary prisoner dies in prison, but Ding Bin's case is too involved, in case there is a good guy in prison, even if he Wang Yu is a scholar, he can't afford to be guilty.

Now seeing that Ding Bin was stunned by Zhang Yuan, he wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with palpitations, "Thank you little general."

His thanks were much more sincere.

Zhang Yu waved his hand at Wang Yu and said, "Lord Shangshu doesn't need to be polite, if this Ding Bin dies, I will also bear the responsibility, Lord Shangshu should find someone to tie him up first, and it is better to stuff a cloth in his mouth, otherwise it will not be good for the prisoner to bite his tongue and commit suicide."

Wang Yu nodded immediately and hurriedly ordered. Ding Bin was gagged by the cell boss and the officials, dragged out of the prison and tied to a wooden frame.

After Ding Bin was tied, the cell boss picked up the bucket and splashed a bucket of water on Ding Bin's face. Ding Bin woke up slowly, he shook his head to distinguish what he was doing now, it can be seen that Ding Bin wanted to say something, but his mouth was tightly gagged, and no matter how he struggled, he could only make a "whine" sound from his mouth.

Ding Bin was obviously a little angry, his face was flushed, and his whole body began to struggle hard.

It's just that the official of the Criminal Department doesn't know how many prisoners he has tied up on weekdays, and his skills are skillful, so he naturally can't break free from the ropes on the wooden frame.

Seeing that he couldn't break free, Ding Bin's gaze began to gradually become fierce, if he hadn't gagged, he would have scolded him a long time ago, at least the ancestors and elders of Wang Yu and Zhang Lu must have been greeted one by one.

Fortunately, Zhang Yu is thick-skinned enough, it doesn't matter if he is scolded or not, Wang Yu is not angry, but comforts Ding Bin: "Ding Bin, why do you say you are doing this? As long as you explain what your plans are with Xuan Guogong, maybe Your Majesty will be kind to you."

Ding Bin's eyes widened angrily, as if he could breathe fire in his eyes, he glared at Wang Yu for a while, and then turned his head directly to the side, obviously trying to be tough to the end.

Wang Yu opened his mouth again and said: "Ding Bin, we have some friendship, if I can save your life, I will be happy to see it, I don't want to offend Xuan Guogong, but you can probably understand that things have developed to this point, and it is no longer up to you and me to have the final say, so you can listen to my advice and recruit it."

Ding Bin didn't react, still tilting his head to the side.

Wang Yu was helpless, shook his head with a sigh, and said to the yacha beside him, "Forget it, let's still use torture."

Wang Yu's words were light, as if torture was a normal thing.

Zhang Lu didn't want to let go of a bad person, but he didn't want to use the method of torture to wronged a good person, so he immediately opened his mouth to persuade him: "Wang Shangshu, I'm afraid it's not good to use torture?"

Wang Yu nodded with a smile on his face, and said, "The little general is reasonable, but Ding Bin's tone is too strict, if we don't ask anything, I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain to Your Majesty." Little general, don't worry, these jailers in my criminal department are all good at it, and they will never take Ding Bin's life."

Zhang Zhen looked at Ding Bin, who was still tough on the wooden frame, and could only nod silently, this is the Criminal Department, it is Wang Yu's territory, Zhang Yuan only has the right to supervise, as for what the Criminal Department wants to do, he has no right to interfere.

What's more, it is still the Ming Dynasty, and science and technology are not developed enough, so if you often want to solve a case, it may not be helpful to use ordinary means.

Seeing that Zhang Yu didn't say anything more, Wang Yu said to the jailer again, "It's been a few hard work, let's use the torture."

The jailer took off the whip on his waist and threw a whip in the air, and then a whip fell on Ding Bin's body, only to hear a "snap", Ding Bin's prison uniform was directly torn open by the whip, and blood seeped out of Ding Bin's flesh little by little, he snorted, clenched his teeth tightly, and his temples jumped up suddenly and visibly.

It is conceivable that this jailer plays with whips very slippery on weekdays, and ordinary people use whips to whip people, leaving at most a bruised whip mark, and those who can directly tear the skin and flesh are definitely the masters of each one. As for how painful this whip was, Zhang Lu could imagine it somewhat.

The little official in prison who had good eyesight moved two chairs for Wang Yu to sit on

。 Wang Yu sat down gently, but where could Zhang Yu sit still?

This is the first time he has seen the scene of torture with his own eyes, seeing the whip falling on Ding Bin, Zhang Yu was also unbearable, he looked towards Wang Yu, but found that Wang Yu's face was as usual, which also made Zhang Yu sure that Wang Yu was definitely a ruthless person.

However, after only a few whips, Ding Bin was already miserable from the outside, and he couldn't bear to look at this picture, so he had to close his eyes.

And Wang Yu whispered beside him: "The little general is really merciful, Ding Bin was already sentenced to exile, the crime is really not small, he deserves to suffer some flesh and skin, and he has already held the will to die today, the little general must not mistakenly pay his mercy to such a person."

Yes, Ding Bin is a criminal, and the evidence is conclusive, thinking like this, Zhang Yan feels that it is not a cruel thing to torture Ding Bin.

Zhang Yu opened his eyes and nodded to Wang Yu to express his gratitude.

The jailer whipped a few more times, and Ding Bin seemed to be unable to feel pain in his hands, so he fainted directly, but even if he fainted, his hands and feet still twitched from time to time, which shows how powerful this whip is.

The jailer pursed his lips and muttered, "I can't help but fight." carried a bucket of water and splashed it on Ding Bin's face,

Ding Bin's eyes woke up, and Wang Shangshu asked again leisurely, "Your Majesty wants to know, do you have any ulterior secrets with Xuanguo Gong?"

Ding Bin's whole body trembled with pain, and his eyes looked a little sluggish, but he still shook his head firmly.

Wang Yu smiled slightly, raised a thumbs up at Ding Bin, and said, "I'm really not mistaken, you Ding Bin is a tough guy, okay, since you don't want to say it, then let's continue!"

The jailer flicked the whip again.

But Wang Yu tilted his head to Zhang Yuan's side, and said softly: "Little general, I guess I can't ask anything today, let's go out, and ask the little general to bring a message to His Majesty, just say that Wang knows how to do it."

The bloody scene in the prison Zhang Zhen was somewhat unbearable, but it was not that he was soft-hearted, he killed a lot of people in the Nine Gates in Donglinfang, but the evil of those people in the Nine Gates acted on Zhang Run, so he killed those people with anger, but Ding Bin was different, although Ding Bin committed a crime, but it was not a crime committed on Zhang Yuan, so he had no resentment towards Ding Bin, and now when he saw the bloody scene, he still had some sympathy.

Zhang Yu nodded at Wang Yu, and went back to the palace to resume his life.

When he returned to the imperial study and saw Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Lu naturally told everything he saw and heard in the Criminal Department, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and said to himself while reviewing the chapters: "Wang Yu...... It's a pity, it's a pity."

Zhang Lu didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang's pity meant, and he didn't dare to ask.

Zhu Yuanzhang finished approving a piece of music, looked up at Zhang Zhen and asked, "Do you say that this Ding Bin was seriously injured?"

Zhang Yan thought about it carefully and replied, "Weichen doesn't know, but looking at Ding Bin's face, it hurts a lot."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and said lightly: "I still know the methods of those people in the Criminal Department, tomorrow you go to the prison to see Ding Bin, if he can't support it, give him a good time."

Zhu Yuanzhang's words startled Zhang Zhen, and he also thought silently in his heart, could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't plan to move Li Shanchang? The emperor's mind is really difficult to understand, although there are many things Zhang Zhen does not dare to ask, but he feels that as a courtier, it is necessary to remind His Majesty many times, Zhang Zhen hurriedly said: "Ding Bin has not yet explained the matter between him and Xuan Guogong, so Ding Bin will be killed, I am afraid it is contrary to the law of the country, and once Ding Bin dies, Weichen and Wang Shangshu ......."

Before Zhang Lu's words were finished, Zhu Yuanzhang had already slapped the table and said angrily, "Zhang Lu! The whole world is me, what decision do I make and use you to peck at me?"

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's name for himself changed from "I" to "I", Zhang Lu knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was really angry, the emperor's anger was not a joke, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was like a tiger, Zhang Zhen didn't mind being a handsome man who knew current affairs for the sake of his own life, but he knelt on one knee and immediately bowed his hand to Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Zhang Zhen offended Long Yan, it's really damned!" Please also punish Your Majesty!

」

Who knew that after a while, he didn't listen to Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, Zhang Lu raised his head cautiously, only to see that Zhu Yuanzhang's anger had obviously dissipated a lot, but his eyes were still on Zhang Rong.

Zhang Lu also sighed in his heart, it's a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't practice changing his face, it's sunny and rainy for a while, who can stand this?

After another moment, I heard Zhu Yuanzhang say slowly: "That's it, your kid is good friends with Yun Wei, if I really cure your crime, I can't guarantee that the emperor and grandson won't blame me." Besides, I know that you really don't have any selfish intentions in saying these things."

It seems that Zhu Yunwen's face is quite big, this is a good thing, seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang is back as before, Zhang Yu also immediately began to express his heart: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's arrangement has its own deep meaning, and Wechen will definitely follow Your Majesty's will, and in the future, wherever you point, Wechen will fight."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly, and said: "Get up, this must have been taught by Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu is loyal, selfless, and never fights or grabs, if this Ming courtier can be like your uncle, I will be relieved."

Zhang Yu also hurriedly gave Zhu Yuanzhang a thumbs up and said, "Your Majesty is really as wise as a torch, and Weichen really admires it."

Zhang Yu was about to get up as he spoke, but he heard Zhu Yuanzhang say: "It doesn't matter whether Ding Bin confesses or not, even if he doesn't say it, someone will say it, and with Wang Yu's ability, he will definitely be able to get evidence, as for the rest, you don't care, I have my own arrangements, you kid don't worry, I won't let you get involved."

Zhang Lu has traveled to Daming for a long time, Zhang Lu also has a lot of understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang, he found that Zhu Yuanzhang is sometimes very angry, sometimes unusually kind, this is normal, after all, people are many faceted, such as Zhang Zhen himself, sometimes stubborn and stubborn, sometimes he will be undisciplined, and there is no psychological burden. Zhang Lu has seen many sides of Zhu Yuanzhang, but he has never seen Zhu Yuanzhang explain anything to any courtier, the king is always true to his words, and now Zhu Yuanzhang has said these words, which is already a great honor for him, and at the same time, he has made a promise that he will never let Zhang Lu be involved.

Zhang Lu knew what was wrong, he hurriedly thanked Zhu Yuanzhang, and then took the order to retreat.

Early the next morning, because he took over the task, Zhang Yu did not go to the James Mansion, but ran his internal strength at home a few times and rushed to the Criminal Department, which was not because he was lazy, but because Wang Yu still had to participate in the Early Dynasty, so even if he went to the Criminal Department early, he would not be able to see Wang Yu.

Since he had already come yesterday, Zhang Lu had not spoken when he arrived at the gate of the Criminal Department, and someone directly led him into the side hall, and someone still served him tea.

Not long after, Wang Yu, who had just left the early dynasty, walked in, but compared with yesterday, Wang Shangshu's eyes were dark, and his face was also a lot haggard.

Zhang Yan hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand towards Wang Shangshu and said, "Lord Shangshu is really diligent, looking at the face of the adult, I'm afraid he hasn't slept all night, right?" It's all for Ding Bin's case?"

Wang Yu laughed, and hurriedly said: "It's all for the sake of Daming, and I also owe it to the diligence of this official, otherwise the Criminal Department doesn't know how many cases will be backlogged, I think the little general is also a diligent person, and the little general has been waiting here for a long time, right?" We are courtiers, and we should be diligent, and we are not all worried about Your Majesty."

Although Wang Yu didn't say it directly, the meaning of his words was to praise himself and Zhang Yuan.

This is also a normal phenomenon in officialdom, and the two were polite to each other for a while, saying half-truths and half-truths, but it made people listen very comfortably. After the politeness was over, Zhang Yi said to Wang Yu: "I have already brought what Lord Shangshu asked me to bring yesterday, I don't know what progress has been made in Ding Bin's case?"

I saw Wang Yu smiling, put his hand into his arms, took out a confession and said: "I was really sleepy this night, but fortunately, it was not in vain, and I was fortunate not to be disgraced in the imperial grace of His Majesty."

Obviously, this is Ding Bin's confession.

To tell the truth, Ding Bin left a deep impression on Zhang Bin yesterday, looking at him like that, he is still quite a tough guy, it is still very rare for a person to be able to not even be afraid of death, but since this Ding Bin is not even afraid of death, even after yesterday's punishment, he did not spit at all, Zhang Bin thought that he was interrogating Ding Bin's work

The meeting became a tug-of-war, but I really didn't expect that in just one night, Wang Yu not only let Ding Bin open his mouth, but also was able to obtain testimony in Ding Bin's mouth, although Zhang Yu didn't know what method Wang Yu used, but I had to admit that Wang Yu still had some skills.
