Tiegong Mountain was awe-inspiring, sat down on the ground, and said loudly: "Master Hu, my old bones in Tiegong Mountain have been tortured by you almost, and you have asked all the questions that should be asked, if you want to kill, you will kill, what are you doing with more wasteful tongues?"

Master Hu said: "Tiegong Mountain, do you recognize this person?"

"Yes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Did he save you from Li Zicheng?"

"Exactly!"

"What is your relationship with him? Is he a spy sent by Li Zicheng?"

"Duan Gongzi is a good man who travels the rivers and lakes, but he just rescued me with righteousness, and I really don't know what it has to do with King Chuang. ”

Lord Hu said angrily: "If it weren't for him, how could Lord Xia and Lord Lin assassinate Li Zicheng and succeed? It is clear that you had already communicated with him to make the assassination plan of the Holy Lord fail in the end." ”

"I strictly implemented the emperor's plan and never revealed the slightest news. ”

"You didn't reveal the news, why did you arrive before he arrived? Could it be that this person can be pinched? It's not you who revealed it, it must have been revealed by your daughter, yes or no?"

"My daughter was out of town at the time, and she didn't know about the assassination at all, and Xia Qianxun and Lin Fengting can testify about it. ”

"Has Tie Bingxin been away for a long time, and when you saw Tie Bingxin, was she with this surnamed Duan?"

"Yes!"

Master Hu said sharply: "Iron Bow Mountain, everyone has stolen goods, you are confused when you are the emperor today, and the saint is very wise, he has already seen through your sinister intentions, and he just wants you to show your flaws before he forgives you for a few days." As soon as you met this surnamed Duan, he didn't know where to go, and you didn't arrive before he arrived, if it wasn't for your father and daughter revealing the plan of action to him, how could he be the first to report the news?"

"I, Tie Gong Mountain, vouch for my head, and I have never revealed any news of my actions to this person. ”

"And how did he know?"

"I really don't know. ”

Master Hu asked Duan Hongyu again: "Duan Hongyu, this official asked you, did Tiegong Mountain convey to you the plan of action to assassinate Li Chuang?"

Duan Hongyu said truthfully: "Lord Tie did not reveal any news to Zaixia, but overheard their conversation on the roof of the inn. ”

"As a master of Ouchi, he was overheard in his plan of action, and even a three-year-old child would not believe it. ”

"The villain said that it was indeed true. ”

Master Hu ordered someone to escort Tie Gong Shan down, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Duan Hongyu, you will recruit you! Are you a spy sent by Li Chuang? Is it that Tie Gong Shan used his daughter to contact you? If you recruit you, you will have made a great contribution, and this official will save your life in front of the emperor, and you will be able to make meritorious service to atone for your sins in the future." If you are stubborn to the end, there is only one way to die!"

"The villain is telling the truth, and I hope the adult will make a clear judgment. ”

Master Hu was furious, and said in shock: "Be bold and make up for the people, and dare to confuse the public at this time." If you know the times, you will be quick to move, if not, even an iron man can make you cry. ”

Duan Hongyu said: "My lord, the villain went to Lingzhi Island this time to follow the will of the current emperor, and the villain has an appointment with the emperor first. Please allow the adults and the villains to reply on the spot in front of the emperor. ”

Master Hu sneered: "You thief is really a thief, you still want to deceive the saint at this time, and don't give you a bitter taste, you don't know the power of the Ming Dynasty." Come on, torture!"

As soon as Master Hu's words fell, those wolf-like jailers rushed up, and they couldn't help but press Duan Hongyu to the ground, and the sticks were down, and in less than a cup of tea, Duan Hongyu was beaten to the point that his skin was open, and his blood was gushing like a spring.

Duan Hongyu gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Those jailers became more and more vicious, and it didn't take long for Duan Hongyu to pass out. Master Hu ordered the jailer to stop and find cold water to wake Duan Hongyu up.

The jailer used a stick to set Duan Hongyu up. Master Hu came to the front and said, "Do you want to recruit?"

Duan Hongyu took a sip and squirted blood straight out of his face.

Master Hu was furious and shouted, "Punishment!"

The jailer found the clamp stick and sentenced Duan Hongyu.

Master Hu sneered and said, "Young man, you still recruit it." As soon as you move the great punishment, your life will be over, and if you don't die, you will be disabled. Do you think you can save the life of Iron Bow Mountain if you don't move?"

Duan Hongyu scolded: "If you are punished, you will be punished." If grandpa frowns, he is not a good man. ”

Master Hu sneered: "Okay! That's what you said. If you don't recruit it, I'll see how long you can last. ”

With a wave of his hand, those jailers sentenced Duan Hongyu. Duan Hongyu screamed miserably and fainted again. The jailer woke up with cold water again, and then proceeded with the execution.

After three or five rounds of this, the jailer was so tired that he could hardly straighten up. Master Hu was also exhausted.

One of the leaders said, "My lord, this kid's bones are too hard. The little one has passed through so many people, and he has never met someone with such hard bones, I don't think he can recruit him today. ”

If it weren't for the emperor's urging, would I have been able to make a surprise trial overnight?"

The leader said, "But if you come twice like this, you have to kill him." ”

Master Hu thought for a while and said, "It's okay, take him down, don't let him die." ”

The jailer lifted Duan Hongyu with a stick and escorted him back to his cell.

In order to return to Chongzhen, Lord Hu gave Duan Hongyu a day for the next few days. He is soft and hard, and the pattern is renovated. The torture tools were even more the same, using Duan Hongyu's body as a testing ground.

Duan Hongyu knew that he was inevitably dead, but he must not be involved in Tiegong Mountain, so he never confessed.

It was rare that Duan Hongyu was in prison recalling the past years, when suddenly the prison door opened, and the jailer threw in a prisoner, closed the prison door and left.

Duan Hongyu saw that this criminal was Tie Gong Mountain, and said in a lost voice: "Lord Tie." He wanted to go over, but he couldn't move at all, only shook slightly.

Seeing that Duan Hongyu was covered in bruises, and his clothes were completely soaked in blood, Tie Gongshan couldn't help but burst into tears, and sighed: "Duan Gongzi, I really didn't expect them to torture you like this. ”

Duan Hongyu said: "Lord Tie, I'm fine. I'm going to die, and this little injury is nothing! I just don't understand why they sent you here?"

Tie Gongshan said: "I think they are trying to eavesdrop. ”

Duan Hongyu gritted his teeth and scolded: "These things have no humanity. ”

Tie Gongshan has never confessed, not because he is afraid of death, but because he has been in the officialdom for many years, and there are many protégés and old parties, it is really difficult for him to accept that he is executed in the name of a thief. When he saw Duan Hongyu being tortured like this to protect himself, his thoughts changed in an instant. He stroked Duan Hongyu's wound and said, "Duan Gongzi, we can't go on like this anymore, let's recruit it!"

Duan Hongyu lost his voice and said, "Lord Tie! you—"

Iron Bow Mountain said: "You don't understand. This matter was a ruse by Xia Qianxun to frame me from beginning to end. Do you think you're causing me a problem? You feel sorry for me? You're wrong, even if I don't have you, I can't live. It's just that Xia Qianxun is too insidious, and insists on giving me the reputation of a thief, so that he can kill me, and kill my family and subordinates together. I didn't recruit it, I just didn't want to be saddled with the reputation of a thief, and I didn't want my protégé and old friend to be implicated because of this. ”

Duan Hongyu said: "As long as we don't recruit, you can't help you." ”

Tie Gongshan smiled bitterly: "You are so naïve. What you're dealing with, they're not human at all, they're just beasts in clothes. They want us to die, and even if we don't confess, we won't survive. As the saying goes: 'If the king is suspicious, the minister will die'. Since the emperor has become suspicious of me, I have only one way to die. ”

"But if we recruit you, won't you be saddled with the notoriety of a thief?

Iron Bow Mountain Elder sighed and said, "I've figured it out now. I am not innocent, and I don't need to prove it to these beasts. One day, the world will know that I am innocent. Bingxin is not by my side now, I am alone, I have nothing to worry about, I am an old bone, they can do whatever they like! After so many days, my subordinates and old friends have also escaped, what else do I have to love?"

Duan Hongyu looked at the Iron Bow Mountain, which had been old for ten years overnight, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. He is different from himself, and he is not unjustly cut off ten times for the sins he has committed. Tiegong Mountain fought for the Ming Dynasty all his life, and he died several times, but he didn't expect to end up like this. The two had a small misunderstanding before, but they didn't expect to completely open their hearts in prison today, and they talked all night until dawn.

Lord Hu seemed to have expected it, and the two were interrogated early in the morning.

Duan Hongyu and Tie Gongshan had already discussed it and completely confessed.

Lord Hu was overjoyed, the confession had already been written, and the jailer was ordered to hand it to the two of them.

Duan Hongyu and Tie Gongshan signed and were imprisoned again.
