Cracking sound!

The salt-soaked whip struck the prisoners so hard that they broke their skin and howled.

"Say! Who instructed you to set fire to your arsenal in the middle of the night, and what purpose did you have? Say it! ”

Crackling!

Accompanied by the sound of sharp interrogation, the sound of the whip that made the body chill was not determined by the ears.

"Ahh Woo woo, I don't know! I don't know woo...... X﹏X………”

Those little minions obviously didn't know anything, and they didn't ask anything after a whipping of the crying father and mother.

But the leader made a muffled snort under the whip, and said not a word again, and his mouth was as hard as a stone!

An Imperial City stall head took the leather whip from his subordinates, and the long leather whip was dragged on the ground, dragged back and forth by this stall head, and the sliding sound made everyone who had experienced it shudder, and subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Boom!

The corners of Fanzi's mouth rose slightly, and he dragged the leather whip to stop at the relaxed leader after the prisoners walked around.

The leader who had been silently lowering his head and bearing all the punishments also noticed the strangeness of the stall, and raised his head to see the approaching stall.

There was a deep fear in his eyes, but then he turned to firmness.

To be chosen to do this, to be the commander, the leader is already a dead man.

As long as he bites to death and doesn't say anything, then those people will naturally make his family live better.

But if he did, not only would the family not get any benefit, but their lives would also be threatened.

So even if it was for the sake of his family, it was absolutely impossible for him to open his mouth to leak the above things, facing the head of the Imperial City who was approaching with a whip, even if he was afraid and didn't know what he wanted to do.

But he was ready to take the damage.

It's just that this time it seems to be a little different from what he thought.

The head of the stall of the Imperial City Division did not beat him, but also asked people to put him down and let him lie flat on the stool, saying that he had been tied for too long, which made him comfortable.

Just as he didn't know why, a piece of paper suddenly covered his face, and then a cold came through the paper.

Soon the paper on his face was soaked with water, and the leader finally understood what the other party was doing!

Waterboarding!

This horrific punishment that has never been heard of in legends, but never seen with one's own eyes.

With the paper being soaked, the leader instantly felt out of breath, and subconsciously grew his mouth to breathe, and then his mouth was opened, but the paper was also pasted, which caused him not to breathe, but to become more uncomfortable.

The strong feeling of suffocation made his whole body collapse!

It is impossible to understand this punishment without experiencing it firsthand. How horrific is this seemingly simple punishment.

This choice is a hundred times more terrifying than physical damage! A thousandfold!

Every second of the execution is like a year for the person being tortured!

The pressure on my mind is even greater!

It had only been less than a quarter of an hour since he was waterboarded, and even if he killed him, he would not say a word.

Take advantage of the paper change for him, and hurry up to beg for mercy when he is ready to give him time to do it again!

"I say! I say! I say! Please! Don't put me in waterboarding anymore! I said......"

"Wouldn't it be nice to do this sooner?"

The head of the Imperial City Division, who was in charge of the interrogation, sneered when he saw him, waved his hand, and immediately took him down for interrogation.

After a while, the interrogators came back with a signed confession, and after reading it, the head nodded with satisfaction, and then left in a hurry and reported to the palace......

In the palace, Zhao Duan had been waiting for a long time.

Not only him, but even the crown prince was left behind by him to wait.

As soon as this stall entered, it immediately went straight to the Funing Palace in the palace unimpeded.

After Zhao Duan received the confession, he only glanced at it, then sneered and threw it to the prince: "Prince, take a look, what did I say?"

These guys even dared to attack the arsenal, and now that I want to check the arsenal, I immediately panicked and wanted to destroy the evidence.

Luckily, I've been prepared!

Now I see how they want to quibble! ”

The prince flipped through the pages of the confession in his hand, and the things recorded on it were simply shocking.

The officials involved are even bigger than the other, and a small arsenal actually involves so many officials.

This is only Bianjing's, if the father wants to disclose that he wants to move not only Bianjing's arsenal, but the entire Great Song Dynasty, how many secret rats will be involved?

"Father, how many people are involved this time, is it really good if you deal with it at once? Will it affect the operation of the imperial court? ”

Zhao Ming was a little worried, when he was in charge of the country before, he disposed of too many officials at once, and even caused problems in the operation of the imperial court.

Zhao Duan sneered, "Prince, do you know what is the biggest difference between you and me? ”

"I don't know!"

Zhao Ming didn't know, so he still answered honestly.

Zhao Duan deflected half of his body, and half of his face flickered in the light of the candle flame.

I only heard him say in a cold voice: "I never fight uncertain battles, and I will prepare for the follow-up in advance before each action."

This time, take a good look! ”

After that, Zhao Duan immediately ordered Cao Shuang: "Immediately order the people of the Imperial City Division to go to the homes of these dead soldiers, if the matter fails, they will definitely attack the families of these dead soldiers, and then they can arrest them!"

In addition, send people to control all the officials involved in this incident according to the confession, quickly find all the evidence, and if you can't find it, the Imperial City Division must also concoct the corresponding evidence before dawn, don't show flaws, otherwise I will only ask!

In addition, when arresting people, the movement is louder, so that the people know what you are doing and why you are doing, and at the same time inform the hundred officials that no one can be absent from the court today, and those who are absent without reason will be demoted and will not be promoted within three years! ”

"No!"

Cao Shuang nodded after hearing this, and immediately went down to make arrangements.

The prince looked at Zhao Duan's operation inexplicably, but Zhao Duan didn't mean to explain, and had already begun to change his clothes and prepare.

It didn't take long for the originally quiet Bianjing City to become lively, and battles took place in several places in the city, and in the end, the Imperial City Division, which had been prepared for a long time, won the victory, kept the key evidence witnesses, and also caught these people who did it, and had new evidence.

At the same time, according to the confessions made by the Imperial City Division, one official was immediately arrested.

Some people were waiting for news, but who knew that they were waiting for the news that the Imperial City Division came to the door, and they immediately wanted to escape, but they were suddenly caught by their own subordinates, and only then did they learn that this usually quite trusted subordinate was actually a spy of the Imperial City Division.

A sense of despair instantly enveloped his heart, and he was not allowed to deal with some inconvenient things on weekdays. Now it's okay, I'm afraid that everyone has all the evidence, and I can't run away.

And some officials were still asleep when they were arrested by the Imperial City Division who suddenly broke in.

Tonight's Bianjing was very lively, until the sky was bright, and the officials who had just gotten up were surprised to find that something big had happened in Bianjing last night.

And when the hundred officials found many fresh faces after going to court, and many acquaintances had disappeared, they realized that something really happened to them!
