Chapter 158: Laughing Punishment
Li Shen looked at the general's expression, then at his trembling legs and smiled.
"Are you scared? Tell you, death in the world is not the most terrible, the most fearful is waiting for death, and the most painful thing is that life is better than death.
I advise you to think carefully, can you withstand these punishments, I still have more than a dozen punishments to tell you, I wonder if you are interested in hearing about it? Li Shen poked his head out gloomily. Combined with the dim light in the cell, it looks particularly terrifying.
"I... I... I said, my name is Feng Shanwu, a native of Tongxian County, Tongzhou Prefecture, and I serve as the commander of Tongzhou. Feng Shanwu finally hung his head and said
Feng Shanwu recruited, just like Li Shen said, the most painful thing is that life is better than death, and the most feared thing is waiting for death, a phrase often said in later generations, what human beings are most afraid of is the unknown.
The official of the criminal department on the side looked incredulous, shouldn't he be recruited after the punishment? This hasn't been tortured yet, why did you recruit it? King Ji said that he would recruit him by means of torture? The officials are ready for all kinds of large-scale services.
However, in fact, it is not difficult to explain that people in this era have no faith, and it can also be said to be a grass on the wall. Just look at how many generals there were in the Manchu Dynasty.
How can there be any loyal and brave people, isn't there a proverb in later generations, rather learn Taoyuan three righteousness, than learn Wagang a stick of incense. Scholars pay attention to the good birds to choose the wood and perch, and the virtuous ministers to choose the lord and serve.
Okay, let's get back to business, I still have a sense of accomplishment when I see Feng Shanwu open his mouth and Li Shen, at least the short videos of TV dramas in my previous life have not been brushed in vain.
"Look, how good is that, isn't that a good start? Why fight and kill? I'm sorry," Li Shen said with a smile.
The jailers who were with Li Shen were all chilling behind their backs, this King Ji was really evil. The kinds of torture he said were much more cruel than simple torture, not only physical but also psychological, but he also said not to beat, kill, kill.
"Feng Shanwu, then let's go on and tell this king who asked you to kill me." Li Shen asked
"Lord Wang, don't ask again, I won't say it. I just ask the prince to give me a good time, and I am willing to pay for my sin with my life. Feng Shanwu pleaded.
"Humph! Atonement with life? You want to exchange the life of a prince for me. Are you worthy? It seems that if you don't suffer a little, you won't confess honestly. He whispered a few words to the guards beside him.
After the guard nodded and went out, Li Shen continued: "This king has not yet married, so I don't want to see blood, so I will give you some text today, I hope you will like it." ”
In a moment, the guard walked in with a sheep in one hand and a jar in the other
"Trap him on a bench and tie him up strongly, then take off his shoes." Li Shen commanded. The jailer stepped forward and trapped Feng Shanwu on the bench. Li Shen asked the jar to be opened again, smeared the contents on the soles of Feng Shanwu's feet, and then led the sheep over.
"Feng Shanwu, I know you're afraid that they will hurt your family. Don't worry, if you confess, I will immediately send someone to Tongzhou to bring your family to my imperial village.
I personally pleaded with Your Majesty to forgive them of their sins, and I can only save your life and let you be sent to Lingnan. Li Shen gave an ultimatum to Feng Shanwu, and seeing that Feng Shanwu didn't speak, Li Shen waved his hand.
The guards led the sheep to Feng Shanwu's feet, and the sheep immediately stuck out its tongue and began to lick the soles of his feet. "Haha..... Haha..... Hahaha....."
Li Shen raised sheep at home when he was a child in his previous life, and the sheep's tongue was relatively long, and it had the same barbs as cats, which made it itchy and unbearable when licking the soles of people's feet
Feng Shanwu on the bench struggled desperately, but the official not only trapped him all over, but also held him down and didn't let him move.
"Haha, please. Hahaha beg the prince. Ha ha. Give me a good time. Haha" Feng Shanwu desperately begged for mercy, but Li Shen drank tea and ignored it.
After a quarter of an hour, Feng Shanwu began to have some difficulty breathing. Li Shenyi waved his hand and the guard pulled the sheep away.
"Well, I'm not very happy with this method. Seeing that you are tired of laughing, I will let you rest for a while, and we will continue. Li Shen said with a smile
"Please, kill me, I'm just a small person. No one can afford to offend. Please let my family go. Feng Shanwu begged for mercy with tears in his eyes
"Let you go, then who will let me go, do you think I don't know that the family wants to kill me? I just want to know who it is.
You also said that you are just a small person, so why bother to get involved? Honestly, it works as well as I promised you.
Do you think the family will keep your family like I did? There is nothing that this king is looking for that cannot be found. For this king has money. Li Shen shouted angrily. Feng Shanwu was silent again, and Li Shen waved his hand to continue.
In this way, the second criminal law began, and the officials who watched the excitement were stupid one by one, and they could still play like this. And just now I found out why King Ji would let the prisoner rest for a while. Are you afraid that if he dies, people can still laugh to death? This king has played with flowers.
"I will recruit the prince, I will recruit both." At the end of the second round, Feng Shanwu couldn't bear it. It's fine if he dies like this, but Li Shen won't let him die like this. No one can bear this round after round.
"Tell me, who told you to come?" Li Shen motioned to Lang Zhong of the Criminal Department, who came over, to prepare to write a confession.
"It was our Tongzhou assassin Shi Wei Yuanzhen, when I violated military regulations and security laws, Wei Yuanquan saved my life, but he never asked me for anything in return.
I owe Wei Yuanquan a life, so this time Wei Yuanquan came to me and said that I would help him do something, and I agreed without hesitation. Moreover, Wei Yuanquan also promised me that after the matter was completed, I would go to other ways to live in seclusion.
I knew it was a capital offense, and I was ready to die. My lord, please save my family of seven, and when I came, Wei Yuancheng said that in order to protect my family, he took them all into the Assassin's Mansion.
It's not a pity for me to die, please save my family, you can repay you as much as you want. Feng Shanwu said bitterly.
In fact, repaying the favor is only one aspect, and the main reason is that Wei Yuanquan used his family's life to threaten him. Otherwise, how dare he agree to this great crime of extermination.
Li Shen thought for a long time, then looked up at Feng Shanwu: "This king can send someone to save your family, but you don't seem to have something to say."
There is no difference between confessing one and confessing two, do you want me to remind you? How did you get to Chang'an with these hundreds of people? The mobilization of troops and horses requires a warrant from the Ministry of War, otherwise you will not be able to connect to the state.
Say! Who gave you the note, or who in the military department is your internal response? Li Shen slapped the table and shouted
