Chapter 222: Suicide in fear of sin

In the Yamen of the Watchman, the person in charge of torture is Nangong Qianrou, this dead demon is very vicious, has created hundreds of inhumane torture methods, and ordered craftsmen to create more than 100 new torture instruments.

Contribute to Daebong's torture methods.

One of them is called standing punishment, which hangs a large iron tuo on the prisoner's neck, and after a long time, the prisoner's neck will be a little sore, painful, and unable to support it.

However, the prisoners were not allowed to rest, and the prisoners were forced to stand, which was painful. Within two days, the man died in endless agony.

There is also a criminal law like Xu Qi'an that explodes the liver and cultivates immortals, and it is said that it is the inspiration obtained in the promotion to the god refining realm, this kind of criminal law is painful, and Xu Qi'an empathizes.

He relied on meditation and meditation, and he was already in agony, as ordinary people can imagine.

In the "Criminal Law Code" written by Nangong Qianrou, there are hundreds of criminal laws for cutting meat with a blunt knife.

Although Jiang Luzhong is not the interrogation maniac like Nangong Qianrou who is proficient in one hundred and eight postures, he still knows some tortures under the influence of his ears and eyes.

Liang Youping looked at Jiang Luzhong silently, and the eyes of the two were as sharp as eagles, but Liang Youping, who had no cultivation, was quickly defeated.

He looked away and laughed self-deprecatingly, "It seems that I have no choice. ”

Governor Zhang and Jiang Luzhong didn't speak, staring at him expressionlessly, since this person fell into his hands, even if it was a stone, he could make him speak.

Liang Youping glanced at Xu Qi'an, patted his lame leg, and said leisurely: "I didn't lie to you, this leg was indeed broken by someone, but the person who saved me was not Zhou Min."

"I was born in Yunzhou, and since I can remember, I know that Yunzhou is seriously plagued by banditry, and the people are deeply affected. When I was young, my dream was to practice martial arts and become a hero who fought with swords and rivers and lakes, specializing in killing mountain bandits.

"But I was poor and rich in martial arts, and my poor family couldn't afford me to practice martial arts, so I had to study. After failing to pass the exam twice, I threw my pen from Rong and joined the army. ”

Before the dream began, it was defeated by reality...... Fortunately, I have a second uncle who feeds me with hundreds of taels of silver every year, otherwise I would only study like Erlang...... My aunt should hate me.

Xu Qi'an sighed in his heart.

And with Xu Dalang's qualifications, what can he do in reading? Probably not much better than Xu Lingyin.

"One year, I saw a man in the White Emperor City who was bullying the people on the street, and he shot out in anger, but he was outnumbered and broke his leg by his servants. Na Yanai felt disappointed, and he didn't want to let me go, so he ordered someone to take me out of the city and bury me alive, which was at this time...

"The lord appeared, and he had the guards with him save me, and he arrested the yamani, and gave me justice. ”

Xu Qi'an and the others realized that the adult should be the person to whom Liang Youping was loyal, and nine times out of ten he was the mastermind behind the scenes.

Liang Youping raised his head, met Governor Zhang's gaze, and said word by word: "Yunzhou political envoy, Song Changfu." ”

“......”

There was silence in the room.

Governor Zhang's expression was rather strange, both surprised, but not surprised. After all, in the White Emperor City, officials above the fourth rank may be behind the scenes.

The governor had already prepared in his heart, and there would be no "surprise" reaction.

"It's him...."

However, Governor Zhang's heart was still very heavy, and he commanded Yang Chuannan to be involved in the case. Now there is another political envoy.

Yunzhou officialdom is really rotten from the beginning to the roots.

"Who caught you?" Xu Qi'an took advantage of the gap and asked.

"I don't know. Liang Youping shook his head, with a blank look on his face: "Not long after you left that day, I dispersed the private prostitutes in the shop, locked the door and left." As soon as I walked out of Huangbo Street, I was knocked unconscious.

"When I woke up, I found myself locked up in a small dark room, with a sack on my head, and told that every day should not be called the earth.... Eating and drinking Lazar were all in the small dark room, and someone brought me food regularly. Later, I was taken to the dart board and sent to you. ”

"Didn't see what that person looked like?" Xu Qi'an asked.

Liang Youping shook his head.

.... Liang Youping disappeared after we left, and then, three days later, the people of the Wushen Sect went into a dream to interrogate and test whether Liang Youping had fallen into the hands of the watchmen.... Because in the past three days, Song Bu's political envoy accompanied Governor Zhang out to inspect, so he did not find that Liang Youping was missing, and it was not until he returned to White Emperor City that he knew that the little brother was missing.... That's right.

Xu Qi'an suddenly realized.

Governor Zhang tapped his fingers on the table, "Go on." ”

"Since then, I have followed Song Bu's political envoy, and he was not a political envoy of a state at that time..."Speaking of the past, Liang Youping's eyes showed reminiscence:

"As Song Changfu's official position became bigger and bigger, I also followed the cripple and became the current experience of the department, and I have achieved the sixth grade.

"It was also under the recommendation of Song Changfu that I joined the Qi Party. But this identity is not visible, Zhou Min is the shadow of the yamen, and I am the shadow of the Qi party.

"The Qi Party delivers military supplies to the mountain bandits, and it must pass the level of the Division. Over the years, I have been working for Song Bu's political envoys, stealing account books, and embezzling military supplies..."

"I kept saying before that I dreamed of becoming a hero and killing all the mountain bandits. Now he has become a wicked person who aids and abets abuse. Xu Qi'an couldn't help but mock.

Liang Youping has become the kind of person he hates the most.

In response to Xu Qi'an's ridicule, Liang Youping chose to remain silent.

Governor Zhang squinted his eyes and asked, "Then what's the matter with Yang Chuannan? He is also a Qi party, why do you want to frame him." ”

Liang Youping shook his head: "I don't know about these, I only know that he and Qi Dang are not close." Song Bu's political envoy revealed that Yang Chuannan was originally a pawn of the Qi Party on the bright side, and he could be discarded at any time. ”

Backstabh... Xu Qi'an made a definition of Yang Chuannan in his heart.

"If it weren't for Zhou Min, Yunzhou's conspiracy would have gone on forever. Liang Youping shook his head and smiled: "This may be the restoration of Skynet, speaking of which, I have a good relationship with Zhou Min, and we often drink together after the dispersion."

"It's just that I didn't expect him to be a shadow of a watchman, I'm a shadow son of the Qi Party, or how to say that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs. ”

Liang Youping seemed to have opened the chatterbox, and without Governor Zhang's interrogation, he just spit out what he knew.

"Zhou Min is a very smart person, extremely sensitive to numbers, after we noticed that he found out that the account books were wrong, I came forward to woo him and made a promise..."

Jiang Luzhong leaned back comfortably in his chair, "He refused?"

"Nope. Liang Youping said hesitantly: "He agreed, and he was willing to go along with it." It's just that he didn't expect that the so-called wooing was just a superficial effort, but it was actually a test of him, and he found something when he tested it.

Zhou Min was also just a delaying tactic, so he turned his head and wrote a secret report to shake things out. ”

This is the operation of a shadow son with an IQ online.... Changed to the routine in the TV series, Zhou Min affirmed the rejection of righteous words.... Xu Qi'an kept his brain active by complaining, and couldn't help but say:

"Actually, he already had a premonition that you were going to kill people. ”

"A wise man naturally has the consciousness of a smart man, and he could have escaped, although he couldn't escape either. Liang Youping raised his chin.

This seems to be talking about himself, he is also the wise man who has a premonition of his fate, and since he can't escape, he doesn't bother to escape.

"After the East Window incident, Song Bu's political envoy pushed Yang Chuannan out of the pot in accordance with the established plan. While secretly arranging, he waited for the arrival of the governor. ”

When Governor Zhang heard this, he questioned: "Then, why did you personally stay at the Ding No. 15 Dog Meat Shop? There should be evidence of the crime against Song Bu's political envoy in the account books." ”

"Yes, there are several military quarters in the account books that were transferred from the political envoy to the capital command envoy. As for why I stayed on the 15th, this is the order I received. Liang Youping replied.

... This doesn't make sense!

Xu Qi'an frowned and looked at the three white-clothed warlocks: "Is his word credible?"

The three white-clothed warlocks shook their heads: "I can't see through it, his qi number is covered, and the Qi Hope Technique can't be spied on." ”

Qi Lookout can't be snooped on.... Xu Qi'an was taken aback at first, and then woke up to the fact that Liang Youping had been manipulated, and someone had covered up his qi for him.

Number Four said that warlocks have means to restrain wizards, and it is precisely because of this shielding that Liang Youping avoids spelling and divination.

"Ning Yan, what do you want to say?"

Despite the serious decline in Xu Qi'an's intelligence, Governor Zhang still wanted to hear more of his opinions.

"It was a wrong decision to let Liang Youping be in the dog meat shop. I don't think that with the old scheming of Song Bu's political envoys, he would not make such a low-level mistake. Xu Qi'an talked eloquently:

"Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this is a provocation, after all, if it wasn't for that mysterious master who kidnapped Liang Youping halfway, even if we knew that the problem was wrong, we wouldn't be able to find out anything.

In the end, I could only take tangible evidence and bring Yang Chuannan back to Beijing for a mission. ”

Whether it is a provocation or another reason cannot be determined for the time being, unless Song Changfu is confronted in person.

However, it is the mysterious master, Xu Qi'an has a suspicious candidate, that is, to force Wang Yang Qianfan. First of all, he only knew such a high-quality warlock. Secondly, although there is a casual cultivator outside, it can shield the qi and conceal Jiang Luzhong's perception, and this strength is not something that ordinary casual cultivation can achieve.

This is like in the previous life, those who can enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences are definitely highly educated talents, and there can be no self-taught wild bachelors.

As for why it is Yang Qianhuan, because Xu Qian only thinks this.

Well, this speculation is yet to be confirmed......

"It's not easy to know why. Governor Zhang sneered: "Immediately send an order, all the staff will be dispatched to arrest the political envoy Song Changfu." Remember, the soldier is fast!"

It's still the same way to treat Yang Chuannan, but it's very useful. Assault operations can catch the enemy off guard and make it too late to respond.

Not long after, all the Hu Benwei were dispatched, and Governor Zhang only brought Jiang Luzhong and a few people to fight the guard. The rest of the silver gongs and gongs stayed at the post station to take care of Yang Chuannan.

Xu Qi'an also stayed at the post station on the grounds of recuperation.

He had just opened a Wushuang outside the city, and his body was weak at this time, and it was not suitable for him to move.

.......

Bang!

The door of the envoy's mansion was broken, and Jiang Luzhong took the tiger guards into the mansion and subdued the rebellious guards one by one.

Unexpectedly, the envoy of Song Bu did not show up like Yang Chuannan, and Hu Benwei found him in the bedroom, and he was already dead.

Song Bu's envoy fell to the ground with a dagger stuck in his chest, blood flowing all over the ground, soaking his clothes and half of his face.

"Your Excellency, he's dead. ”

After the inspection of the tiger guard, he reported respectfully.

"Did you commit suicide in fear of sin?" Governor Zhang walked to the corpse, his face serious.

Song Changfu actually died like this?

He pondered for a moment and ordered, "Send someone to the government office and summon an experienced servant to come over for an autopsy." ”

......

He quickly rushed over, accompanied by the prefect of Yunzhou, whose face was full of panic, and after seeing the body of Song Bu's political envoy in the bedroom, he sat on the ground in fright.

"Lord Governor, this, this..." The prefect's face turned pale, his mouth trembled, and he couldn't say a complete sentence.

"What's the panic?" Governor Zhang glanced at Song Changfu's body, so he had to take the prefect out of the bedroom first, come to the study, and tell him about the reversal of the case.

It turns out that Song Bu's political envoy is the culprit who colluded with the Witch God Cult and delivered military supplies to the mountain bandits?

The prefect's eyes were dull, and he didn't digest this shocking news for half a day.

"This matter should be announced as soon as possible, so as not to cause the hearts of Yunzhou officialdom to fluctuate. ”

Position determines the way of thinking, and what Governor Zhang is thinking about at the moment is how to appease the officials and maintain stability.

Replaced by Xu Qi'an here, the first thing to do was to find fault with the corpse and the case until there was no omission.

As he was talking, Hu Benwei came in and reported: "My lord, I have finished my experience. ”

"Pass him in. Governor Zhang said.

He hurried in with his feet down, his head bowed.

"Report it. ”

"Yes!" he said, "The deceased Song Changfu, forty-five years old, six feet one inch tall, has no damage to the head, hair, skin, and bones of the corpse. There were no injuries to the limbs and trunk except for a stab wound to the chest.

"There is no odor or discoloration in the mouth and throat, and it is not poisoned to death. After examination, he died of a stab wound to the chest, which was a suicide. ”

Governor Zhang bowed his head and said, "Properly preserve the corpse." He turned his head to the prefect and said, "Summoning the officials above the sixth rank of the White Emperor City to the Yamen of the Political Envoy Division." The officer has something to say. ”

After making the arrangement, Governor Zhang frowned, pondered for a long time, summoned a gong, and commanded:

"You go back to the post station quickly, tell Xu Qi'an what happened here, listen to his opinion, and return to the official. That's right, including the post-mortem report. ”

.....

Post.

"What, the political envoy of Song Bu is dead?!"

Xu Qi'an, who heard the news, widened his eyes in shock.

"Your Excellency, I would like to ask your opinion. The messenger sat down on the table with a big grin, stepped on the bench, held the teacup in his hand, took a sip, and said:

"The surname Song is interesting, and when he heard the movement of us breaking in, he knew that there was no escape, and he committed suicide in fear of sin. The Governor asked me to come back and ask you what you think of this. ”

Yuanfang, what do you think...... Xu Qi'an subconsciously appeared this famous line in his mind.

Song Changfu committed suicide in fear of crime, which he didn't expect, and thought that there was a chance for Liang Youping and Song Changfu to go to court.

Xu Qi'an was extremely tired, thinking about things one by one:

Was it the governor's "noble soldiers" strategy that played a role, making Song Changfu feel that the general trend had gone and chose to commit suicide?

But normally speaking, shouldn't you not shed tears when you don't see the coffin.... This is not a game, and I feel a little disadvantaged and shoot five points.... It's a bit too impulsive to die, well, it's also possible that the dream witch who never showed up killed someone.

That's not right, the premise of the dream witch killing people and destroying the mouth has to be the East Window incident.... But how did he know that the matter had been revealed?

In an instant, it was like a bolt of lightning struck my mind.

"There must be Song Changfu's eyeliner near the post station, monitoring the movement here at all times. Maybe it's the four-rank dream witch. When the dart master of the Fushun Dart Bureau came in with Liang Youping, although he was wearing a sack, the characteristics of the lame man walking were obvious. ”

"Song Changfu has long known that Liang Youping has been arrested..."Xu Qi'an made a judgment in his heart, he finally realized that something was wrong.

They interrogated Liang Youping in the post station for more than half an hour, and then the governor led the team to rush into the residence of the political envoy, even at the speed of the tiger guard, it would take forty minutes to get from the post station to the residence of the political envoy. For such a long time, will Song Changfu sit at home and wait for death?

But Song Changfu is indeed dead, and he has already experienced his body...... it!

"Oh no, I've been tricked!"

Xu Qi'an blurted out.
