"If you don't want to suffer, just talk about what you've done!"

Chen Mo looked at the torture instruments in his hand one after another, he had only seen others interrogate him before, and this was the first time he had done it himself.

Liu Mingqiao looks quite thoughtful, and even looks a little decent, sitting against the wall at this time, not daring to move at will.

Listening to Chen Mo's words, he kept thinking about what he had done, and the person in front of him seemed to have never seen it.

He is the head of the salt transportation department, and it stands to reason that Chen Mo should visit him once after taking office.

But he didn't visit Chen Mo's stepfather, and of course Chen Mo wouldn't visit him with a hot face and a cold ass, so the two hadn't actually met before.

Before starting yesterday, in order to prevent killing the wrong person, Chen Mo deliberately observed for a long time, and only after confirming that he was Liu Mingqiao.

"This strong man, I don't know how I offended you, what do you say you want? As long as you let me go, I can give you the money and the woman's good land and house. ”

Liu Mingqiao endured the pain, and negotiated with Chen Mo without changing his face, hoping to fool this person and let him go.

"If you don't say it, it's going to be difficult!" Chen Mo smiled and picked a torture instrument.

In fact, he didn't want to be tortured casually, not because he couldn't do it, but mainly because it was fleshy and bloody, which would make him a little unappetizing.

"Whatever you want to ask, my lord, as long as you ask, I'll tell you!" Looking at the torture instrument in Chen Mo's hand, Liu Mingqiao instantly broke the defense, and hurriedly spoke.

He can be an official, not because of how good and capable he is, but because he is born well.

When Chen Mo didn't plan to do it, he was still able to fake the tiger, and when he saw that Chen Mo really wanted to use torture, he didn't even dare to think about how painful those torture tools would hurt when they were used on his body.

First cut off the nails little by little, and then use an iron plate to grind the flesh and bones on the fingers little by little.

This level of pain is simply not something he can bear.

"Then you can talk about it all, and tell me all the things you did that you shouldn't have done." Chen Mo put away the torture instrument, raised his chin and asked.

Liu Mingqiao's confession was very thorough, he was corrupt and perverted the law, harming people's lives, and he didn't dare to hide anything from any evil thing he did.

Of course, in his words, he tried his best to reverse black and white to defend himself, saying that he didn't want to do it, and it was all those people who forced him.

The more he spoke, the more confused Chen Mo became.

The crime he committed was indeed enough to behead him several times, but it didn't really involve the point, why did his stepfather suddenly let himself control him.

Is it because he has other things that he hasn't explained, or is it because he didn't have an accident at all, but Zhou Cheng who had an accident, so he has to be taken down.

"Zhou Cheng is your backstage, so what did he let you do?" Chen Mo smiled slightly and asked in a condensed voice.

Liu Mingqiao looked hesitant, and then shook his head, he knew that Zhou Cheng was his biggest backer, and if he fell, he would definitely not be able to live.

Although I don't know why Chen Mo suddenly asked about this, I can guess that he wants to use himself to bring down Zhou Cheng.

Therefore, no matter how much the other party presses, he has to bite to death and can't say.

It's a pity that under torture, he still didn't stand up after all and confided in everything.

In addition to the fact that part of the bribes he received was to be supplied to the governor, more importantly, the governor asked him to smuggle goods between Anyang and Xingyuan in the name of transporting official salt.

But he had no idea what exactly was being smuggled and to whom it was being given.

"Then you'll starve for two days, and you won't die of hunger anyway." Chen Mo picked up a towel on the side and blocked Liu Mingqiao's mouth.

It seems that I guessed correctly, and the eight achievements are the problems of the state.

As for what the specific problem is, he will know it when his stepfather arrives.

Three days later, Sun Shouren rushed to the Zhuniuji military camp.

…………

"Father-in-law!" Chen Mo bowed and bowed.

Sun Shouren turned over and dismounted, walked into the barracks that Chen Mo had cleaned up in advance, and sat down with the main seat.

And the personal soldiers he brought with him also temporarily took over the entire military camp.

"Liu Mingqiao is not dead, did you control him?" Sun Shouren asked the question he was most concerned about at the moment.

"Back to my father-in-law, he is still alive and well, and he is being detained by me in the barracks next door.

It's just that the child really doesn't understand, why did he suddenly arrest him, is there something wrong with Zhou Cheng's side? Chen Mo's face was full of doubts, and now he was most curious about this question.

Sun Shouren smiled when he heard this, glanced out the door and window, made sure that it was his own soldiers who were guarding, and took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then spoke.

"You guessed it right, it's because something happened to Zhou Cheng.

According to the investigation of the imperial court patrol guard, he had a connection with the Dutian Daomen, and in the name of transporting official salt, he asked Liu Mingqiao to smuggle commercial goods for the Dutiandaomen between Xingyuan Mansion and Anyang Mansion. ”

Sun Shouren spoke slowly, he only learned the news not long ago, so he was in a hurry to let Chen Mo control Liu Mingqiao first.

As soon as this incident came out, other things were no longer important, and the Heavenly Daomen was ready to rebel against Zhou Cheng and collude with them.

The best result is the Zhu Jiu clan, and Liu Mingqiao, who helped Zhou Cheng smuggle commercial goods, will inevitably not escape.

Chen Mo looked surprised, he didn't expect Zhou Cheng to be connected with the Dutian Dao Sect.

Zhou Cheng, the upper even the governor, and many bureaucrats in the lower prefectures, if something happens to him, I am afraid that the entire Dingzhou officialdom will usher in a big change of blood next.

"Then the imperial court is going to officially take action against the Dutian Daomen?" Chen Mo asked in a low voice.

Now that the imperial court has already started to arrest people, there is no doubt that the encirclement and suppression of the Dutian Daomen has officially begun, most likely in the recent past.

Sun Shouren bowed slightly, "According to my estimate, it should be in the last three or two months, the imperial court will raise troops to encircle and suppress the Dutian Daomen, and now one is investigating and wants to uproot it, and the other is also transferring troops." ”

It is not easy to mobilize the army, not to mention the encirclement and suppression of the Heavenly Daomen, and it is necessary to strangle it cleanly and leave no trouble.

This takes time to prepare slowly, and now Dingzhou seems to be stable on the surface, but in fact it is already turbulent.

"You should also be prepared when the time comes, strive to make more contributions, and I will help you operate again, and you can still rise." Sun Shouren smiled.

The so-called people in the DPRK and China are good officials, and others may not be promoted for meritorious service, but as long as Chen Mo makes meritorious service and he is there, he will definitely be promoted.

"The child understands." Chen Mo said.

Sun Shouren came in a hurry and left in a hurry, but he just had a light meal at Chen Mo's house, and left in a hurry with Liu Mingqiao.

How to check next is not something Chen Mo has to worry about.

Watching his stepfather leave all the way, Chen Mo watched as the Qi and blood of the Immortal Bead in the dantian had accumulated nearly seventy percent, and now he only hoped that the time to start would be later.

Give yourself another two or three months of hard work, so that he can accumulate full qi and blood for the next transformation.

The strength is stronger, and he is more confident when he encircles and suppresses the Heavenly Daomen.

After all, those cultivators of the Heavenly Dao Sect are indeed a little weird.

Sending his father-in-law back to his home, Chen Mo heard many people discussing Liu Mingqiao's disappearance along the way.

This matter has now fermented, like a gust of wind spreading all over the surrounding land for hundreds of miles, and everyone is talking about it, and there are all kinds of theories.

At least so far, the vast majority of people still think that he is missing, or that he has offended some enemy and has been killed by a vendetta.

Everyone applauded and applauded this, worried that he would not die.

even secretly praised the righteous man who did it, thinking that he was a rare hero.

Some storytellers have even begun to have the courage to talk about it, compiling all kinds of stories for the righteous man to punish the evil and eliminate the evil.

Then Chen Mo's life fell into a stable situation again, and he continued to practice and train every day, until a month later, Mo Hu sent a letter.
