Chapter 682: Gongsun
Gongsun Xin's body trembled, and after stopping his laughter, he looked at the man in his twenties.
"Zhao Tuo............ You're amazing."
Gongsun Xin didn't deny it, but his eyes were full of hatred.
Zhao Tuo had never seen Gongsun Xin, but Gongsun Xin had seen Zhao Tuo many years ago.
At the beginning, Li Xin's defeat to Chu was defeated, and Zhao Tuo made a detour of thousands of miles from Pei County and returned to Danfu County of Qin State.
At that time, Gongsun Xin and Zhang Liang were preparing to contact the local Wei people and wealthy clans with their single fathers, and wanted to take advantage of the impact of Li Xin's defeat to rise against Qin, but they were defeated by Zhao Tuo's Surabaya and gave up the plan in shock.
It's just that Gongsun Xin didn't expect that Zhao Tuo would become a nightmare for the lives of those who oppose Qin.
"I knew this was the case, when I was a single father, I should have killed this Zhao Tuo desperately!"
Gongsun regretted it in his confidence, and couldn't help but ask, "How did you recognize me?"
Except for Zhao Tuo, all the Qin people changed their faces.
"You're really not Zhang Liang?"
Wang Ling's eyes widened, and his eyeballs were about to fall out, and he felt that the title he was about to receive was about to shrink by more than half.
Li Si frowned slightly.
He didn't expect such a dramatic scene to come out of nowhere.
However, Li Si is a smart person, and after thinking about it for a while, he compared the interrogation just now with the previous interrogation of Xiang Xiang, and found a suspicious point.
He nodded to Zhao Tuo and said, "The prince is really careful, I think it is the Zhao people in this person's mouth who have exposed their feet."
"What Captain Ting said is that you can bring the Xiang criminals up and let them identify one or two."
Zhao Tuo nodded, and smiled at Gongsun Xin, "The Xiang clan has been exterminated by me, and all the people of his clan have confessed. We know far more than you think, so you better be honest and answer Tingwei's questions well, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin.
"The Xiang clan was exterminated by you?"
Gongsun Xin was completely stunned, far more shocked than Zhao Tuo calling out his identity.
When they were arrested in Pei County, they just heard that the Xiang clan of the prime minister raised the flag to rebel, and it has only been a few days, why is the Xiang clan gone?
Xiang Liang lost too quickly.
"The shaft is incompetent!"
This time, Gongsun Xin also knew where he was exposed.
When he and Zhang Liang took refuge in the Xiang clan before, many figures in the Xiang clan knew their identities.
Xiang Liang, Xiang Tang, Xiang Sheng, Xiang Xiang and so on.
As long as one of them is caught, he will naturally confess the news of their seven-member group.
When Gongsun Xin was arrested before, in order to cover Zhang Liang's escape, he called himself Zhang Liang. He even confessed to Wang Ling that the person who escaped was a Zhao Guo who met in Daidi, so as to mislead Wang Ling.
No one in the Qin army has seen them, as long as his Gongsun Xin bites himself to death is Zhang Liang, the pursuit of the last fugitive in the counties of Qin will naturally relax, and they will search for them according to the information he provided about the people of Zhao State, which can better cover for Zhang Liang.
Who knew that as soon as the Xiang clan was defeated, his plan was completely disrupted.
If the confession is not correct, it will naturally be exposed. Of course, even if it is right, it is useless, because the Qin army still has the capture of the Xiang clan in his hands.
Sure enough, when Xiang Xiang was brought up by Qin Pawn, after his identification, Gongsun Xin's identity was completely confirmed.
This made everyone sigh secretly.
The capture of the mastermind Zhang Liang and the capture of the accomplice Gongsun Xin are completely different natures.
"I guess the emperor is going to be angry again."
Zhao Tuo sighed secretly, but he looked at Gongsun Xin's gaze with a sense of strangeness.
Gongsun Xin.
It should be the person with the same name as Han Xin in history, and was later named King Han and called Han Wangxin.
"Han Cheng, King Han, Zhao Xie, King Zhao, Zhang Er, King Changshan, Chen Yu, acting king, and now another Han Wang Xin, oh, the previous *** Tian Dan seems to have also been the king of Qi."
Zhao Tuo counted with interest and was by him
The late Qin princes.
Gongsun Xin's fate will definitely be death, and under the influence of Zhao Tuo, the number of dead princes at the end of Qin will reach six.
At this time, Gongsun Xin ignored Li Si's inquiry, and scolded on the spot to vent the anger in his heart.
"Li Si, you are a Chu person, but you turned your back on Chu to enter Qin and helped Qin destroy the Chu State, it is really shameless! Zhao Tuo, you are the clan of Zhao, but you betrayed your ancestors, became Qin's lackey, and destroyed the Zhao family, you are even more ······."
Li Si was expressionless, and he didn't have a verbal dispute with Gongsun Xin, but said to Zhao Tuo: "The old man heard that the prince invented a kind of waterboarding in the battle, can the strong man break his shares Can you try it on this thief today, so that the old man can open his eyes."
Zhao Tuo was stunned, but he didn't expect that the prestige of waterboarding had reached the ears of Li Si, the court lieutenant.
He didn't hide it either, and told the method. Li Si listened to it with relish, and then let people test it on Gongsun Xin.
Soon, after carrying several rounds of punishment, this iron-clad anti-Qin righteous man finally fell to the ground with water stains on his face, and confessed all the information like pouring beans.
"This kind of waterboarding is really useful, if it is promoted among the legal officials of the world, it should make the criminals no longer dare to quibble and plead against their crimes."
Li Si nodded with satisfaction, as if he was thinking about promoting this punishment.
This made Zhao Tuo a little worried, if it was promoted among the lawyers, there would be more cases of torture in the interrogation of the Qin State in the future.
According to later statistics, about 80 percent of those who were subjected to waterboarding would open their mouths and submit to this terrible punishment, allowing them to do whatever they wanted.
As for the remaining about twenty percent, they will be tortured to death in waterboarding.
This shows that waterboarding is far more painful and efficient than flogging.
In Zhao Tuo's worries, this interrogation ended completely.
In addition to Zhang Liang's whereabouts, they basically got the information they wanted, and afterwards Li Siyue went with Zhao Tuo to report to the emperor.
"This Lao Li wouldn't be afraid that the emperor would be angry with him, so he specially dragged me to share his anger, right?" Zhao Tuo muttered in his heart, but he didn't refuse, and agreed to Li Si's suggestion to go to the audience.
As for Gongsun Xin, who was already soft on the ground, the other two barbarians were taken down, and they would wait for the verdict from the emperor.
In the palace of Pengcheng.
As Zhao Tuo expected, when the First Emperor heard the results of their interrogation, he was furious on the spot.
With reddened eyes, he stared at Li Si and Zhao Tuo and said, "So it's not Zhang Liang who was caught this time, and the traitor who assassinated me still hasn't been caught!"
Li Si explained, "Your Majesty, this matter is all because Gongsun Xin claimed to be Zhang Liang and attracted the county officials of Pei County to his side, which gave Zhang Liang a chance to escape. However, the minister has already ordered the counties and townships near Pei County to strictly guard the main traffic routes, and Zhang Liang is alone, and if he appears, he will definitely be captured."
Seeing that the First Emperor's anger was still unresolved, Zhao Tuo said, "Your Majesty, the Haidong Lux who threw out the big iron cone was killed on the spot by the county guard, this is a happy event, Your Majesty should be relieved."
Hearing Zhao Tuo's words of relief, the First Emperor felt a little more comfortable in his heart.
Zhao Tuo is right, although the mastermind of this assassination is Zhang Liang, but the perpetrator is that Haidong Lux, this person was captured and killed, which is indeed worth rejoicing.
The First Emperor then announced the punishment of the Assassins.
"Whoever slays an assassin, slay his corpse, and hold his head and look around."
"Gongsun Xin and the others, all the cars are cracked to set an example."
"Wanted Zhang Liang, if there is anyone in the world who captures this thief, I should worship him as a lord and give him 6,000 gold."
At this point, a cold light appeared in the eyes of the First Emperor.
"The thieves of Haidong dared to send assassins to help Zhang Liang commit rebellion, and the small country of Yuer should be punished for violating Tianwei!"
