Chapter IV: Coerced Confessions
Under Fang Zhongjin's great might, the more than 500 brocade guards under Ji Changan were finally saved from the fire.
The people reorganized and settled down in the surrounding towns.
Fang Zhongjin, Ji Chang'an and Wang Gonggong had a small meeting, and the brocade guards immediately scattered and came to various nearby villages to arrest people and find people.
It turned out that Fang Zhongjin and Ji Changan discussed it, and it was very likely that it was not a large force that committed the murder against Jinyiwei, but only from the hands of two or three people.
Fang Zhongjin boldly speculated that these organs could even be completed by only one person.
And this person really hates Jinyiwei, and he is quick to kill.
The trap of his final fire attack was clearly to kill, and none of the Jinyi guards were left alive.
Fang Zhongjin asked Ji Changan if they had any enemies, so that he could deduce from this point where the murderer came from.
Ji Changan is spread out with both hands. There are too many enemies of Jinyiwei. From the old ministers of the court to the reckless rivers and lakes, I don't know that there are thousands and hundreds of people who want to kill all the Jinyi guards.
Fang Zhongjin had to pout, this road was impassable.
Fortunately, finding people according to clues is Jinyiwei's specialty. And the murderer may not have gone far.
As long as the large force of 500 Jinyi guards is vigorously searching around, it is possible to find the prisoner.
Fang Zhongjin and Ji Changan discussed the methods in this way, and the princes who attended the meeting together did not pay any attention this time except for nodding.
Martial arts is Fang Zhong Jin Gao, and search is Ji Chang'an's business. The prince knew that he was only called to observe because of his identity.
Now the three of them are all bent on finding out the prisoner for the sake of their future safety. Then the prince still has this self-knowledge, and he shouldn't jump out at this time and come up with some bad ideas to disrupt the business.
Jinyiwei does have a real ability to search for criminals.
These more than 500 people scattered into the surrounding villages, and by the evening of the next day, they brought seven or eight men to the post station where Fang Zhongjin and they lived.
When Fang Zhongjin, Ji Chang'an, and Wang Gonggong came out to see, they saw that these seven or eight men were all from the surrounding villagers.
They were all stripped naked, pressed to their knees after being tied up, and all of them were stuffed with sackcloth to prevent accomplices from confessing inside.
Fang Zhongjin's gaze swept over the faces of these seven or eight men one by one. I saw that these people were of different ages, the youngest was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and the oldest was fifty or sixty years old.
They have different emotions on their faces. Some were frightened and overwhelmed, some were numbly looking at the ground, and some begged with a face to hope that the official would let him go back quickly.
In the end, Fang Zhongjin's eyes were fixed on one person. This person is estimated to be about thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance, dark and shiny skin on his body, and some old wounds can be seen on his shoulders.
He looked straight ahead with a blank face, and there was neither horror nor anger on his face. Fang Zhongjin knew that the rest of the people were either deceiving people and had nothing to do with this matter at all.
And the sneak attack on Jinyiwei can most likely fall on the man in front of him.
Not only Fang Zhongjin could feel the difference in this man's aura, but Ji Chang'an, who was used to interrogating prisoners, and Wang Gonggong, who was good at reading people's eyes, also fixed their eyes on this man.
It's really because his expression is too much like a murderer who has gone out to kill his head. I don't think there is any backer or master behind this person.
How could any mastermind behind the scenes be stupid enough to let a guy who can't lie at all ambush Jinyiwei?
However, if this person is alone, he wants to annihilate the entire Jinyi Guard, which is too bold and crazy.
Ji Changan waved his hand and asked everyone to take the rest of the tied men out of the house.
The brocade guards understood Shangguan's thoughts, and immediately dragged the rest of the men away fiercely and domineeringly.
As for Shangguan not saying that he would release the people, these villagers naturally had to stay in the post station for a while.
Soon, only the cold-faced man was left in the empty field of the post station.
At this time, even a fool~ can guess that most of his actions have been recognized, but this man is still motionless looking at the ground in front of him, and the expression on his face has not changed at all.
The only possibility of such a performance is that this man already knew that he was going to die.
He didn't think he'd get out alive either.
That's a lot of fun. A person who single-handedly regards death as home, and he will also annihilate the 500-strong Jinyi Guard.
What kind of hatred is there between them?
Ji Changan, who is best at extorting confessions by torture, showed a cold smile on his face, and beckoned to the people below.
Immediately, a few small flags came up with sticks. Even when they were outside, this group of brocade guards did not forget to bring the house where they forced confessions.
Ji Changan sneered: "Yes, brother, I respect you for your courage and skill." If you confess now who instructed you to commit the murder, how you connected, and how many accomplices you had, I promised you less to suffer a little bit. ”
Unexpectedly, the man glanced at Ji Changan coldly, and said bluntly: "There are no accomplices, I am the only one who committed the crime." ”
Ji Changan didn't expect this man to confess so quickly, and he was stunned by such a prisoner who was so easy to interrogate.
But he still said, "I advise you to think about it." If you can't figure it out, I'll help you think about it. ”
Then there was another wave, Xiao Qi knew this trick, and immediately took the clamp stick and poked it in front of the man.
Ji Changan continued to smile and said: "I see that your skills are good, if you break all your fingers when you go to hell, I am afraid that you will be crippled in the next life." ”
The man's plain face finally shook, obviously for a person like him, reincarnation into a disability was the most terrible curse.
Then the man returned to his hateful gaze and said coldly: "How can I go to hell, only you will go to hell!"
With that, he glanced around the crowd as if he wanted to remember all those who deserved to go to hell.
Ji Changan and those brocade guards are used to seeing such scenes, and they are also used to hearing all kinds of curses.
I saw Ji Changan laughing and said, "Okay, there are more people who curse me." None of them have worked. I want to see if you can talk to God better than others!"
As he spoke, his eyes sharpened, and he waved his hand to let the little flag behind him clamp the stick.
The little flag didn't say a word, and pressed the man's forehead to the ground. The tied man was bent into a shrimp, and his fingers tied behind his back were exposed.
Xiaoqi put the clamping stick on his fingers, and the ropes at both ends were immediately tightened, and when the time came, it would inevitably make this man unable to survive and die.
At this moment, an old anxious voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "I can't help it, I can't help it!
Everyone looked at the door together, and saw a gray-haired old man rushing to the open space of the post station.
