"Uh...... Didn't I ask? ”

Li Yu looked back in embarrassment, "That adult, you don't seem to have asked." ”

"Okay!" Li Qing cleared his throat, "Say, it was you or the person behind you who assassinated the official?" ”

"It's not me, it's not the person behind me." Where did Liu Hua dare to admit that assassinating the official was a big crime of the Nine Clans, and hurriedly shook the pot, "You arrested the wrong person, it was my housekeeper who bribed the general who defended the city, not me." ”

"Hey!" Li Qing sneered, "Showing chicken feet, right?"

How did you know that your butler had bribed you? ”

"Huh? This ......" Liu Hua knew that he was speechless, and immediately made up for it, "I heard it by chance, and I was about to report it." ”

"Li Yu."

"Humble duty."

"Grab him."

"Hey." Li Yu smiled, and the red soldering iron immediately picked it up.

"Zi~@#¥......"

There were bursts of white smoke in the prison, and a smell of burning rats came, Li Qing waved his arm, "Do you want to say it?" ”

"It's not me...... Yes... Yikes! ”

Liu Hua sadly found that the method that Lord Shilang said was useless, and the torture of Jinyiwei was not something he could bear at all.

"I'm talking about my own family!" Liu Qiang held the whip flower and said sadly, "You are crazy!" Why aren't you crazy? ”

Liu Hua said tentatively, "I'm a fish ......"

"Bang Bang ......"

"Oops... Stop fighting, I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy. Liu Huajin is used to eating and drinking, and he can't stand torture at all, "I confess, I want to report." ”

Li Qing waved his hand and said, "Say." ”

"The prefect of Huizhou, the prefect of Bazhou, the prefect of Hangzhou, and the local imperial history are complicit in embezzlement of grain taxes, and the amount of overcharge and underpayment is as high as one million taels."

Liu Hua originally planned to confess some county magistrates to avoid the pain of flesh and skin, but Li Qing did not talk about martial arts, and he came up with a big punishment to serve, he had no choice, if he did not satisfy Li Qing, he himself would suffer.

Only then did he temporarily change his words and confess some weighty officials.

"Not bad, not bad." Li Qing took notes and continued, "Go on. ”

"Say what?"

"I just praised you for being good, why are you confused again?" Li Qing's face was flat, "Li Yu, give Liu Lang another hard dish." ”

"Don't, don't, don't......" Liu Hua cried, "What Lord Li wants to know, please make it clear." ”

"Hmm." Li Qing smiled with satisfaction, "Let me ask you, besides those officials just now, who else is corrupt and bribed?" ”

"This ......" Liu Hua rolled his eyes and said with a dry smile, "Xia Guan is a Langzhong, I really don't know what else is." ”

Li Qing smiled and nodded, "Brush up!" ”

"Scrubbing?" When Liu Hua heard these two words, his mood relaxed slightly.

sneered, "No need to wash, no need to wash, when the lower official came, he just soaked in the water tank for a long time, and his body was clean." ”

"Hahaha......" Liu Qiang smiled, "Benjia, do you think it's for you to take a bath?" ”

"Isn't it...... So what is brushing? Liu Hua became frightened.

Li Yu said, "Don't talk nonsense, do you choose a place to scrub, is it your arms or legs?" ”

Didn't you sprinkle salt water on the wound?

Liu Hua thought about it again and again, and kicked the right leg that was the least injured, "That's it." ”

"Okay, backbone." Liu Qiang nodded, turned around and came to the outside of the cell door, picked up the smoking teapot on the charcoal stove, and Li Yu took out an iron brush full of tiny iron rods.

Then, Liu Qiang stepped forward and poured boiling water, and Li Yu brushed the skin and flesh vigorously.

This kind of torture is unbearable even for an iron man, not to mention the pampered Liu Hua, who only insisted on a few breaths of effort, and then raised the flag and surrendered.

"I'll explain, I'll explain."

Li Qing asked the two of them to stop, with a gentle expression: "Why do you say you are doing this, how good is it for us to be calm?"

Go ahead! ”

Liu Hua gasped for breath, "Wai Lang of the Household Department, Wai Lang of the Ministry of Rites, Lang Zhong of the Criminal Department, and the right capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate...... They are all greedy and lawless, and the amount is huge. ”

"How much?"

"This subordinate really doesn't know."

Li Qing nodded and recorded the confession, "What about the Hubu Shilang and the Hubu Shangshu?"

So many people are greedy, but the first and second leaders in charge of money bags are not greedy? ”

Liu Hua's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "Xia Guan is just a Langzhong, and I don't know if the waiter and Shangshu are greedy or not." ”

"Come less, they go to the pilgrimage all day long, regulate the size of the department, and have no time to be greedy." Li Qing didn't want to talk to him twice, "Continue the execution." ”

Liu Hua was completely panicked, Guo Huan was the last card he could play, if he confessed it, who would catch him in the future?

If he doesn't confess, he won't be able to pass this hurdle now, boiling water is poured on his legs, and the flesh and blood are brushed off by an iron brush, which is worse than death, where can he bear it.

"Li Qing, don't be fucking complacent." Liu Hua broke the defense, "The day of Niangniang's funeral is the time when your head hits the ground." ”

"Hehe......"

Li Qing smiled playfully, "I won't die, let alone say it, but you are doomed, or the great crime of exterminating the Nine Clans." ”

"I'll go to your uncle's!"

"Huh? Don't be so angry. Li Qing was not angry, and said in his heart, "It's your blessing to be able to come to Zhaojiao, this official wants to give you a chance to atone for your crimes, are you willing to accept it?" ”

"You?

You give me a chance? Liu Hua looked incredulous: "You don't care about me assassinating you?" ”

"I've always held grudges, and it's impossible not to count the school." Li Qing took a note and muttered: "Liu Hua personally admitted that he sent someone to assassinate Li Zhen's envoy." ”

"Grass you're big... Ah......h

Li Yu snorted coldly, "No matter how clean your mouth is, the bones will be brushed out for you." ”

Liu Hua's face was pale, his face and body were covered with sweat, and his whole body was about to collapse in pain.

He gasped, "Then you say, why did you give me a chance." ”

"I can't save your life, and of course, I don't want to." Li Qing smiled, "However, as long as you perform well enough, the lives of your nine clans may be saved." ”

"Why should I trust you?"

"You can believe it." Li Qing shook the evidence indifferently, "You can bear it, these people can bear it?"

At that point, you'll not even have a chance to atone. ”

Li Qing said lightly, "I won't say whether I will die for the time being, but you people will definitely die in front of me, you can think about it, is it the colleagues who are important, or the family is important." ”

"That's it, I said that this family is greedy for money, why do you have to catch up with the Nine Clans?" Liu Qiang followed suit.

Li Yu also said, "If you want to finish a piece, will they give you a cent of the money they are greedy for?" ”

Liu Hua was stunned, as if he had realized something, and slowly shook his head, "No!" ”

"Be louder." Li Qing shouted, "Did they let you take the blame and give you benefits?" ”

"Nope!" Liu Hua yelled.

The extremely unbalanced psychology grew wildly, Liu Hua's defense line completely collapsed, and he scolded: "Damn, why was Lao Tzu's family beheaded, and you got away with it?"

I confess, I confess!

Guo Huan, the head of the household, is the mastermind! He was the one who made me play crazy. ”

"Huh~" Li Qing smiled slightly, leaned back in his chair, and said with a smile: "Say it slowly." ”

"Li Yu, pour a cup of tea for Liu Langzhong."

……

Half an hour later, Li Qing slowly stopped writing, the number of corruption criminals and the amount of money were really shocking.

Guo Huan, the various Shi Lang Zhong and the officials who went to the central government to pay taxes were in a nest of snakes and rats, and adopted the methods of overcollecting and underpaying taxes, fabricating reports and embezzling and defrauding the state treasury materials into money, which amounted to more than 15 million.

Officials from all provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties have been implicated.

Li Qing frowned, "It shouldn't be that you are climbing and biting indiscriminately, right?" ”

"If you don't believe me, you can look it up." Liu Hua sneered, "It's just a little bit of Yulu, and there are a few people who are not greedy."

Do you still want to listen? What else do I have here? ”

Li Qing pondered for a moment, "You continue." ”

After another quarter of an hour, Liu Hua finally stopped talking and sighed:

"This is all the corrupt officials I know, when it comes to this, can I take the Nine Clans and deceive you?"

Li Qing nodded slightly, Liu Hua really can't commit it, but the number of people involved in the case and the amount of embezzlement are really too much.

"It's just what I know, and there's something I don't know." Liu Hua said with a smile, "If it is thoroughly investigated, the amount of corrupt officials, money and food will definitely be greater." ”

He smiled happily, as if he had seen many people and buried him.

Li Qing put away his confession and instructed: "Don't tell anyone about tonight's incident.

You can rest assured, if they are corrupt, this official will not let it go, as long as the content is true, your nine clans will be absolutely safe. ”

"Okay, I'll believe you once." Liu Hua really had no other way than to believe in Li Qing.

Li Qing nodded with satisfaction, and threw Li Yu a bottle of gold sore medicine, "Smear it on him, don't let him die."

In addition, tonight's events have rotted in my stomach for the time being. ”

The two of them gave up their hands: "I understand my humble duties!" ”

Li Qing collected his confession and turned around and walked out of Zhao Prison.

……

Early in the morning, Guo Huan, who had been sitting all night and trembling, finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Jin Yiwei didn't come to arrest anyone, he knew that it was Liu Hua who carried it.

Thinking of this subordinate's dedication, he couldn't help but be moved:

"Lao Liu is still a loyal person!"
