The Hou Mansion has a basement.

Chen Kan doesn't like to bury people in the garden or well, so a basement that can solve your worries is especially important.

In this basement, except for a few guards who specialize in dealing with the dirty things of the Hou Mansion, basically no one will come.

Even Chen Kan rarely came.

Today, Chen Kan personally stepped into this basement, and you can imagine how strong the killing intent is in his heart.

"Master Hou!"

Seeing Chen Kan enter the door, Zhang Dong brought a stool for Chen Kan, and then stood behind Chen Kan.

Chen Kan sat on the chair with a golden sword, looking at the several assassins hanging on the shelf in front of him, including the little girl.

After a while, Chen Kan asked lightly, "Who sent you?" ”

As soon as Chen Kan's words came out, an assassin spat out a mouthful of saliva in the direction of Chen Kan and cursed: "Bah, you dog official, you'd better kill your grandfather, otherwise when your grandfather escapes, your whole family will die!" ”

The other assassins didn't speak, but they looked at Chen Kan with hatred in their eyes.

Chen Kan waved his hand expressionlessly, and one of the guards drew his long knife and beheaded the assassin.

The assassin's head rolled off, and the guards immediately spat on his head: "Phew, since you want to die so much, then grandpa will fulfill you!" ”

Chen Kan looked at the remaining assassins and asked lightly, "Next, who will come?" ”

Seeing that Chen Kan was so decisive, several assassins immediately closed their eyes and began to pretend to be dead.

Chen Kan is not in a hurry, these people are assassins, not dead soldiers, and the dead soldiers' mouths can't be pried open, but assassins, as long as they are willing to spend more time, they can always ask.

As the minutes ticked by, it became clear that the Assassins had no intention of speaking.

Chen Kan instructed Zhang Dong on the side: "Since you don't want to say it, then use torture!" ”

"Yes!"

When Zhang Dong heard this, he immediately began to direct the others to get busy.

Most of Chen Kan's personal guards are from Jinyiwei, and in the entire Ming Dynasty, no one will be more proficient than Jinyiwei in the matter of interrogating people.

During the Hongwu period, even peerless people like Lan Yu and Fu Youde were planted in the hands of Jinyiwei, not to mention a few assassins.

Zhang Dong quickly found all the tools to inflict torture.

First, a sheep and a few stools.

Zhang Dong commanded the guards to untie an Assassin, tie him to a chair, and then turn his head under his legs.

The torture of the tiger chair doesn't seem to be very good, there is no need to use a knife, and there is no need to torture the prisoner, but Zhang Dong, a person who can stand it, has not seen it for the time being.

And when the assassin saw that Zhang Dong was just tying him to a stool, his face couldn't help but be a little shocked, and then he said disdainfully: "Dog officer, if you think that this will make Ye Ye submit, then you are wrong." ”

No matter how he cursed, Zhang Dong and Chen Kan were unmoved, and just continued to concoct the next person.

Zhang Dong personally smeared salt on the feet of an Assassin and led the sheep over.

Then there was the third Assassin, who was held in place by two guards on an iron bed, above which was a small tube with water dripping from it, drop by drop on his brow.

The fourth, even simpler, was to cover his face with a piece of paper moistened with water.

The fifth pressed a sandbag against his abdomen.

After the five male assassins were dealt with, only the last little girl remained.

Zhang Dong put the little girl on top of another iron bed, placed a copper basin under the iron bed to fix her hands and feet, and then gently scratched her hand, and in an instant there was the sound of water droplets dripping down the copper basin.

Zhang Dong made good use of the visual dislocation, making everyone think that he had cut the little girl's wrist, but in fact he just used the back of the knife to cut the little girl's hand.

There is no broken skin at all, let alone a drop of blood.

The one that dripped into the copper basin and made a sound, of course, was water!

The punishments seemed simple, and they didn't go into a big deal.

But the real power of these criminal laws is not comparable to the torture of Ling Chi and the stripping of the skin.

Because of these criminal laws, it is not the body that is punished, but the mind.

The collapse of the mind is enough to make every fierce man turn into a finger twister!

After doing all this, Zhang Dong returned to Chen Kan and stood behind, and then, he just needed to hand over time.

The first to react was the Assassin sitting on the stool, but within a few minutes, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The calves are padded higher than the buttocks, making it uncomfortable for him to sit no matter how he sits.

He struggled a few times, and after a few moments, the whole person writhed in the chair.

"If you have the ability, kill me, what kind of hero is it to use such dirty methods."

"Chen Kan, you dog officer, you killed me!"

The man roared, but Chen Kan turned a deaf ear and just sat there with an expressionless face.

Then there was the assassin who smeared salt on his feet, and the sheep was addicted to salt, so he kept licking the soles of his feet, and there were many soft barbs on the sheep's tongue, and the itchy feeling made him almost crazy.

The man can still hold on, but his heart has been filled with fear, and he knows the allusion of the water drop stone, but he is not sure if his eyebrows are strong or not.

Then there was the man whose face was covered in paper, who had licked a large hole in the paper with his tongue and was breathing heavily.

Seeing this, Zhang Dong covered the torn paper with another piece of paper soaked in water.

By the way, he placed a sandbag on the chest cavity of the assassin who pressed the sandbag against his abdomen.

As for the little girl, her face was already visible to the naked eye, and she looked like she had lost too much blood.

"Kill me, kill me, hahaha, kill me, please, kill me!"

The second assassin finally couldn't resist the strange itch coming from the heart of his feet, and immediately cried and laughed and shouted.

Combined with the first assassin's curses, the entire basement suddenly became noisy.

Chen Kan frowned slightly: "Noise! ”

As soon as Chen Kan's words fell, several guards stepped forward and plugged their mouths with silk scarves.

One by one, they began to tell several of the Assassins how they would die after they had endured the torture.

Several assassins listened to the guards' stories, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and a frightened expression suddenly appeared on their faces.

It is true that they are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that life is better than death, especially such torture, which their bodies can no longer bear at the beginning.

If it goes on like this, sooner or later their mentality will collapse.

The voices of Chen Kan's guards were like magic sounds, constantly destroying their psychological defenses.

Chen Kan sat in the basement for a while, then turned around and walked out of the basement towards the backyard.

He knew that these tortures would take time to catalyze, and instead of waiting in the basement, it was better to go back to accompany the frightened Chang Ning.

After all, Chang Ning is still pregnant with a child.

The psychology of pregnant women is the most prone to problems, and today something like this happened, Chen Kan felt that in the future, Chang Ning's psychological construction class may have to take a long time.

Pushing open the bedroom door, Chang Ning was already asleep on the bed.

It's just that her frowning appearance even in her sleep makes Chen Kan worry.

Chen Kan didn't mean to wake her up, he reached out and gently smoothed Chang Ning's eyebrows, and just sat quietly in front of the bed with her.

Time passed minute by minute, and I don't know when it got dark.

The maid who delivered the food pushed open the door, and Chen Kan waved his hand, signaling him to put the food on the table and not to wake Chang Ning.

The maid understood, put down the meal, and gently exited the room.

Perhaps it was the smell of food that aroused the gluttony, Chang Ning woke up and saw Chen Kan sitting on the bed, and an emotion called peace of mind instantly surged into his heart.

"Husband, have those assassins been recruited?"

Hearing Chang Ning's voice, Chen Kan turned around, and hurriedly showed a smile on his face: "Not yet, Zhang Dong will be retried, and it will take some time." ”

Chang Ning nodded and didn't ask any more.

She knew that Chen Kan would take care of everything.

Chen Kan didn't say much, helped Chang Ning up to sit, and then lifted the chopsticks and fed her vegetables.

Chang Ning symbolically ate two bites, his face flushed slightly, and said softly: "Husband, come by yourself as a concubine, you can eat too!" ”

"Good!"

Chen Kan ate a few bites of food, then poured a glass of rice wine and drank it slowly.

Chang Ning did it himself, and put down his chopsticks without eating a few bites of food: "Husband, the concubine is full, what time is it now?" ”

Chen Kantou: "It's time to have a child, Mrs. continue to sleep, and go to see how Zhang Dong's trial is doing for her husband." ”

Chang Ning should get down and lie back on the bed.

Chen Kan went out again.

It's just that before I reached the entrance of the basement, I met an anxious Zhang Dong.

"Master Hou, they've recruited!"

Zhang Dong saluted Chen Kan, and the joy on his face was difficult to hide.

Chen Kan also showed a rare smile: "Let's go, go and see, see who is so bold and dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head!" ”

Chen Kan said this arrogantly, but he is now qualified to say this.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, there are very few people who can provoke him and dare to provoke him.

Even a few princes are very afraid of Chen Kan's methods.

There is no way, now everyone knows that Chen Kan will be revenged, and he is ruthless and the best at conspiracy.

In the words of later generations, Chen Kan never talked about martial arts in his work, and never acted according to the rules.

I'd rather mess with a real villain, don't annoy a hypocrite, that's what I mean.

It's just that Chen Kan is still deeply favored by the emperor, and every time he gets into trouble, Zhu Di always wipes his buttocks, who can not be afraid.

Chen Kan was the first to enter the basement and heard the voices of several assassins crying bitterly.

Of the six assassins, only three are now left alive.

The three of them hugged their heads and cried, so they didn't look miserable.

Chen Kan glanced around, and the assassin who had been tortured by the drops was already lying motionless on the iron bed, and from its frightened face, Chen Kan could deduce that he was scared to death.

The Assassin, covered in paper and crushed by sandbags, was also alive.

Only two assassins were left weeping bitterly to protect the little girl in the middle.

Chen Kan came to sit down on the stool and said lightly: "Say, who asked you to come?" ”
