Li Zhi really wanted to open his mouth to praise Qin Liang's good habit.

Don't look at his timidity, but people's minds are very delicate.

At least he knew that he would leave an account book to blackmail his superiors, lest he be unloaded and killed one day.

Taking advantage of the stall where Xue Li took Qin Liang back home to get the account book, Li Zhi began to interrogate the second official again.

This time it was obviously not as smooth as last time.

The second offender is named Ma Nan, a junior official of the Balance Department.

The Equalization Administration, also known as the Equalization Administration, is a department that specializes in balancing market prices and selling idle government items.

In other words, they have the pricing power in their hands.

After Ma Nan entered the lobby, he behaved much more calmly than Qin Liang.

Li Zhi waited for him to finish introducing himself and then said, "Ma Nan, you can explain the crimes you have committed." ”

Ma Nan opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness, the villain doesn't know what crime he has committed. ”

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then immediately couldn't help laughing.

He originally wanted to experience the brutal interrogation methods on television.

But Qin Liang just now was too hasty, and he didn't give him a chance at all.

Now he finally met a head iron, which made Li Zhi very happy.

So Li Zhi said to Ma Nan with an undisguised smile: "This king likes you with a hard mouth." ”

After saying this, he immediately said to Zhang Lei, who was standing aside: "Come on, bring all the torture instruments here to this king, and let him pick one he likes." ”

Dang Renhong on the side heard that Li Zhi was about to be executed, so he stopped doing it at that time.

He said with a stiff face: "Your Highness, should you let the witnesses go to the court to confront Ma Nan face to face at this time?" ”

Li Zhi said: "This king has limited time and is too lazy to talk to him, so it's better to fight first." ”

Dang Renhong said angrily: "Your Highness doesn't handle the case according to the procedures, isn't he afraid that the official will join you when the time comes?" ”

Li Zhidao: "Lord of the Party, don't you understand the reason of rushing to obey power? ”

Dang Renhong said: "The imperial court has its own laws for handling cases, how can it mess up the rules just to quickly decide the case?" ”

Li Zhidao: "At present, the Fang City in Guangzhou City is still closed, do you know how much loss it will be if you delay for one day?" ”

Dang Renhong said: "That is also caused by His Highness's inconsiderate handling of things, what does it have to do with the case-handling procedure?" ”

Li Zhi said with a smile: "How this king does things is not to worry about the party, as for this case-handling procedure... It's not that it can't be changed. ”

Li Zhi's words stunned Dang Renhong.

He didn't expect Li Zhi to tear his face with himself so quickly.

As for the so-called case-handling procedures, it is true that few people strictly abide by them.

But Dang Renhong didn't expect how the young Li Zhi knew this.

He didn't want to think about Li Zhi, but he had been a Yongzhou pastor for a long time.

Although Li Zhi himself rarely tries cases in person, he has watched Li Zhe try cases a lot of times!

Besides, Li Zhi and Li Daozong, Dai Zhou and others have all dealt with each other, so how can they not know the doorway here?

Li Zhi ignored Dang Renhong after he finished scolding him.

At this time, someone had already moved a large number of torture instruments with all their hands and feet.

After hearing a "crackling" sound, all the torture instruments were thrown heavily on the ground.

Ma Nan, who was unusually calm just now, had already shown a timid look at this time.

Originally, he just looked at Li Zhi's young age, so he psychologically felt that Li Zhi couldn't do anything to himself.

Now it seems that His Royal Highness King Jin at this young age is probably more ruthless than anyone else.

Li Zhi didn't give Ma Nan any time to react.

As soon as the torture instrument was thrown to the ground, he opened his mouth and said to Ma Nan: "You have three chances to be tortured, choose the one you like first." ”

Li Zhi's face was expressionless when he spoke.

But the words that came out brought a lot of pressure to Ma Nan.

Ma Nan knew that if he didn't confess at this time, then Li Zhi would be executed immediately.

He didn't know if he would survive three tortures.

But he himself knew very well that the crime he had committed, though not fatal, would certainly lead to exile.

Thinking of this, his expression suddenly became firm again, and he continued to grit his teeth and remain silent.

As soon as Li Zhi saw his appearance, he knew that this was a master who didn't see the coffin and didn't cry.

So his eyes immediately turned to the torture instruments on the ground.

There are not many types of torture instruments, but each of them is uncomfortable to use on people.

Among them were wooden canes, splints, nail chairs, and bull tendon whips.

Li Zhi's eyes looked back and forth on several torture instruments for a long time, and finally landed on the nail chair.

So he opened his mouth and said to Zhang Lei: "Tie the prisoner to the nail chair and let him sit on the side for half an hour." ”

Li Zhi's words were unwavering, but listening to the ears of Dang Renhong and Ma Nan was like a bolt from the blue.

The surface and back of the nail chair are covered with steel spikes.

As soon as a person sits on it, countless blood holes will be pierced.

None of these blood holes are large, so there is no need to worry about the prisoner bleeding to death.

However, the pain caused by the steel needle piercing the body is extremely unbearable.

It only takes a short moment for the average person to be tempted to confess.

If it had been a little longer, the prisoner would probably have passed out due to the great pain.

Now that Li Zhi opened his mouth and gave half an hour, wouldn't this make Ma Nan die of pain?

After Zhang Lei listened to Li Zhi's words, he immediately led someone to set up Ma Nan.

Completely ignoring his cries and begging for mercy, he was directly pressed on the nail chair.

As soon as Ma Nan's buttocks touched the chair, he immediately screamed.

I only heard him crying desperately: "Your Highness spare your life, the villain really didn't make any mistakes!" ”

Li Zhi didn't even look at him at this time, and shouted directly: "Take a prisoner." ”

Dang Renhong was just about to open his mouth to intercede for Ma Nan.

After hearing Li Zhi's words, he suddenly closed his mouth in horror.

At this moment, he suddenly understood Li Zhi's intentions.

He wanted to use Ma Nan's miserable performance to deter other prisoners, and break through the psychological defense line of prisoners in the most direct way.

Dang Renhong didn't dare to speak, he had fully realized Li Zhi's methods.

It can be said that the Li Zhi in front of him is by no means inferior to any veteran of officialdom.

It's even much more ruthless than the vast majority of people.

Dang Renhong knew that he was probably more than lucky.

He was sure that no one could survive Li Zhi's interrogation.

If this continues, sooner or later he will be confessed.

The third person who came in was the little official who dealt with Guan Xiaoliu.

As soon as he entered the door, he was attracted by Ma Nan's screams, so he couldn't help but turn his head to take a look.

This glance directly broke his atrium, which was not very strong.

So that before he could take two steps, he knelt directly on the ground and began to confess.

This person's name is Chen Xin, and he has been working in Guanjin for more than three years.

He committed more crimes than Qin Liang and implicated more than one official.
