Quchifang is a high-end market that has just emerged in the past two years.

Because of its proximity to Qujiang Pond, it has become the first choice for many high-ranking families to build annexes.

At this time, in a large mansion in Qujiangfang, several people were nervously discussing something.

Among them, there are not only the Cui family and the Zheng family, the two heads of the family in Chang'an City.

There is also the eldest grandson Shunde, who once targeted Li Zhi in the court.

The other three are all representatives of small and medium-sized families who are very close to them.

Cui Yan had just sent away a housekeeper who was reporting the situation.

At this time, he opened his mouth and said to the people, "Now that it has been confirmed that our plan has failed, I wonder what you can do to remedy it?" ”

Zheng Dedao: "It is not feasible to continue the assassination at the moment, and we should reflect on whether there are any loopholes in this operation as soon as possible." ”

The eldest grandson Shunde spoke: "My person did not appear in front of people, so I don't think it will be discovered." ”

One of the delegates spoke: "The tricky thing at the moment is that two of our people have been captured alive, and I am worried that they will expose the clues!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at a rugged man sitting at the bottom.

Although he was also wearing a staff suit at this time, no one could associate him with the word "outsider" in any way.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, this man spoke: "Don't worry, these killers that my Hidden Dragon Gang is looking for are all looking at money and nothing else. ”

When the crowd heard this, they relaxed a little.

However, there were still people who asked uneasily: "Is the Xing gang leader sure that the other party doesn't know that this matter is related to your gang?" ”

The man said: "When did I, Xing Tao, speak falsely?" The matter is guaranteed to be clean. ”

When the people saw this, they stopped asking.

Cui Yan spoke again at this moment: "Now that the operation has failed, I hope that we can successfully blame the Buddha Gate for this matter, so that at least we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." ”

Xing Tao said: "Don't worry, those killers are dead soldiers and have been prepared in advance, but if they have the opportunity, they will definitely cut themselves to avoid suffering more flesh and skin." ”

Zheng De said: "This is the best, since the Buddhism sect refuses to cooperate with us, then let them also feel the pain of us." ”

Someone said: "What the head of the Zheng family said is good, and we will not be able to think about it even if we have suffered such a big loss." ”

Cui Yan said: "Right now, the capital is under full martial law, so I'd better disperse earlier!" ”

After saying this, he said to the eldest grandson Shunde: "Please also ask the eldest grandson to pay more attention to the message between the DPRK and China, so that I can prepare in advance." ”

The eldest grandson Shunde spoke: "Don't worry, don't worry, this matter can be handed over to this official. ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and then they got up and prepared to leave.

Their status is not low, and they all have other courtyards in Quchifang, so they don't have to worry about being checked.

At this time, Li Shimin was sitting in the presiding position with a majestic face in the lobby of the Criminal Department.

Kneeling in the middle of the hall were the two monks.

The two of them had just endured a wave of torture and were snorting in low voices.

They never thought that not only did they not have the opportunity to bite the poison sac in their mouths, but even the joints of their arms were removed.

Until now, they have insisted that they are monks from the Pure Industry Temple, and that they were assassinated by the order of the abbot of the head of the house.

This is the final plan they have already set.

It's just to prevent yourself from being captured alive.

Their purpose was to frame this assassination case to the Buddhas, so that the imperial court would kill the Buddhas.

However, they completely underestimated Li Shimin's wisdom.

Li Shimin did not think about it from the beginning, and Buddhism would be so blatantly opposed to the imperial court.

At this moment, Li Shimin did not intend to give them much time to relieve the pain.

I only heard him speak: "Although I don't know where you two come from, it is wishful thinking that you two want to deceive me. ”

He leaned forward a little and continued: "You two should not think that you can endure the pain of punishment because you have the will to die, you must know that there is a great pain in the world that life is worse than death. ”

Speaking of this, he spoke again: "I kindly advise you two that since you know that you will die, it is better to confess earlier so as not to suffer more flesh and skin." ”

The two looked at each other and then spoke almost at the same time: "What the poor monk said is the truth, please Your Majesty to find out." ”

After listening to the words of the two, Li Shimin's face was not wavering.

I saw him raise his arm slightly, and immediately four officials stepped forward quickly.

They each held a set of splints in their hands, which were neatly applied to the fingers and toes of the two prisoners.

After the set, the two of them first tightened the splint on the toes.

Almost at the same time, the two of them screamed in the lobby.

The methods of the servants were very sophisticated, and they did not make the prisoner reach the extreme of pain in a single time.

Instead, he continued to exert himself slowly, so that the pain of the two kept accumulating upward.

It's a pity that both of them have their teeth broken, and they don't even have the ability to clench their teeth at this time.

The intense pain caused sweat to break out quickly on the two of them, and soon the clothes on their bodies were wet.

But this is just the beginning.

Just when the pain in the feet of the two was about to reach its peak, the two officials suddenly stopped exerting their strength.

Before the two could react, their fingers felt more intense pain again.

During this time, no one asked any more questions of the two men.

It's just that four officials are there to clamp the splints back and forth.

The continuous howl soon became hoarse.

After a long time, Li Shimin waved his hand to stop the torture.

He spoke again and asked, "Tell me, who sent you to assassinate you?" ”

The two of them still said the answer in unison.

So Li Shimin raised his arm again.

This time it was replaced with another torture instrument, which brought another kind of pain to the two of them.

Li Shimin kept asking questions very patiently, and whenever the answer did not satisfy him, he would change the punishment.

During this time, the two men fell into a coma several times, but each time they were quickly woken up by cold water.

In fact, Li Shimin can completely separate the two and interrogate them separately.

That might be a quicker way to get a confession.

However, at this time, Li Shimin's heart was full of anger.

He stubbornly wanted to avenge Li Zhi in the most cruel way.

The interrogation continued until the middle of the night, when one of the prisoners was completely unconscious, and the other finally confessed.

Without his accomplices, he really didn't have the courage to try those tortures again.

At this time, he just wanted Li Shimin to give him a good time.

With his explanation, this big case finally began to make some breakthroughs.

However, the next investigation work was all transferred to the secret by Li Shimin.
