272 Suicide out of fear of punishment (1)
In the night watchman’s Yamen, Nangong qianrou was in charge of interrogation. This dead demon was extremely vicious and had created hundreds of inhumane interrogation methods. She had ordered the craftsmen to create more than a hundred new torture instruments.
It would add bricks and tiles to Da Feng’s interrogation methods.
One of them was called standing torture. The big iron lump was hung on the prisoner’s neck. After a long time, the prisoner’s neck would be sore and painful, and he would not be able to support it.
However, they didn’t let the prisoners rest and forced them to stand. It was so painful that they wanted to die. In less than two days, he died in endless pain.
There were also torture methods like Xu Qi ‘an’s, which were said to be inspired when he advanced to the spirit-refining realm. Xu Qi’ an could empathize with how painful this kind of torture was.
He had relied on meditation and meditation to endure unbearable pain, which was obvious to ordinary people.
In Nangong qianrou’s ” code of criminal law “, there were hundreds of such criminal laws for cutting meat with a blunt knife.
Although Jiang Luzhong was not an interrogation maniac like Nangong qianrou, who was proficient in 108 positions, he was still familiar with some of the torture methods under the influence of his surroundings.
Liang Youping silently met Jiang Luzhong’s gaze. Their gazes were as sharp as an Eagle’s, but Liang Youping, who had little cultivation, quickly lost.
He looked away and laughed at himself, “”It seems like I have no other choice.”
Provincial governor Zhang and Jiang Luzhong did not speak and just stared at him expressionlessly. Since this person had fallen into their hands, even if he was a stone, they would be able to make him speak.
Liang Youping looked at Xu Qi ‘an and patted his crippled leg. He said slowly, “”I didn’t lie to you. My leg was indeed broken by someone, but the person who saved me was not Zhou Fu.
“I was born in Yunzhou. Since I could remember, I knew that Yunzhou was plagued by bandits, and the people suffered greatly. When he was young, his dream was to practice martial arts and become a hero in the pugilistic world who specialized in killing mountain bandits.
“But the poor are educated and the rich are martial artists. My poor family can’t afford me to practice martial arts, so I can only study. After failing the imperial examination twice, I submitted my pen and joined the Army.”
His dream had not even begun, and it was already defeated by reality … Fortunately, I have second uncle who feeds me with hundreds of taels of silver every year. Otherwise, I would have to study like Erlang … It’s only right for Auntie to hate me.
Xu Qi ‘an sighed in his heart.
And with dalang Xu’s aptitude, how could he achieve anything in studying? She probably wouldn’t be much better than Xu Lingyin.
“One year, in White Emperor City, I saw a government official bullying a commoner girl on the street. In my anger, I attacked, but I was outnumbered and had his leg broken by his retinue. The people in the government office felt disappointed and were unwilling to let me go. They ordered people to take me out of the city and bury me alive. It was at this time …
“That Lord appeared. He had the accompanying guards save me and apprehended me in the Yamen to give me justice.”
Xu Qi ‘an and the others realized that the Lord was probably the man Liang Youping was loyal to, and was most likely the mastermind behind the scenes.
Liang Youping raised his head and met provincial governor Zhang’s gaze. He said word by word,”Yunzhou’s chief administrator, song Changfu.”
“……”
The room was silent.
Governor Zhang’s expression was rather strange. He was surprised, but not surprised. After all, in White Emperor City, any official of the fourth rank or above could be the mastermind.
The provincial governor was already prepared for this and would not have a “shocked” reaction.
“He’s the one …”
However, provincial governor Zhang’s heart was still extremely heavy. The chief commander yang Chuannan was already involved in this. Now, there was another chief administrator.
Yunzhou’s bureaucracy was rotten to the core.
“Who caught you?” Xu Qi ‘an took the opportunity to ask.
“I don’t know.” Liang Youping shook his head, confusion on his face.”Not long after you left that day, I dispersed the private whores in the shop, locked the door, and left. Just as I walked out of Huang Bo Street, I was knocked unconscious.
when I woke up, I found myself locked in a small dark room with a gunny sack over my head. I cried for help but no one responded … I ate, drank, peed, and peed in the small dark room. Someone sent me meals on time. After that, I was taken to the bodyguard agency and sent here.”
“You didn’t see the person’s face clearly?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.
Liang Youping shook his head.
…. Liang Youping went missing after we left. Then, three days later, the people from the witch God religion entered his dream to interrogate him to see if Liang Youping had fallen into the hands of the night watchman … Because during these three days, emissary song had accompanied Governor Zhang out for an inspection, he did not discover Liang Youping’s disappearance. It was only when he returned to White Emperor City that he found out that he had lost contact with his little brother … That’s right.
Xu Qi ‘an suddenly realized.
Governor Zhang tapped his finger on the table, “continue.
since then, I’ve been following Governor song. At that time, he was not even a governor of a state … Reminiscence appeared in Liang Youping’s eyes as he recalled the past.
“As song Changfu’s position grew, I, a cripple, also rose to the top. I’m now an experienced officer and a rank six official.
“I joined the Qi party under song Changfu’s recommendation. But this identity can’t be exposed. Zhou Fu is a secret agent of the Yamen, while I’m a secret agent of the Qi party.
“The Qi party has to go through the administrative department to deliver military supplies to the mountain bandits. All these years, I’ve been working for emissary song bu, secretly changing the account books, and taking military supplies …”
“Before this, he was still saying that he dreamed of becoming a hero and killing all the mountain bandits. But now, you’ve become an evil person who helps the evildoers.” Xu Qi ‘an couldn’t help but mock.
Liang Youping had become the kind of person he hated the most.
Liang Youping chose to remain silent in the face of Xu Qi ‘an’s mockery.
“Then what’s up with yang Chuannan?” provincial governor Zhang squinted his eyes and asked. He’s also a member of the Qi faction, so why did you frame him?”
