The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions - Chapter 1101

Chapter 524 Torture to extract a confession【top】

As a traverser, although he has been corrupted, Sun Shaozong still feels a little bit resistant to the harsh punishments that caused people to be injured at every turn in the ancient times.

Therefore, Sun Shaozong seldom used tortures on prisoners before he had real evidence when investigating cases in the past, and the few exceptions were mostly caused by roaring in court.

In light of this, Lu Hui thought that because of the benevolence of women, the Shengtazong Society had a serious problem, so he sent a copy of the official Northwest Rebellion archives before closing the net.

The above is a detailed record of the winter of the 31st year of Guangde, the crazy actions of the White Lotus Rebels, and the subsequent effects caused by them.

At that time, the rebels of the White Lotus Religion had gone from being like a broken bamboo in the summer and autumn to a complete defeat. Almost every day, the county was restored by the official army, and the news of the defeat of the Xiangzhu and Ruozhu soldiers was passed back to the white lotus lair Pingliang. House.

Under the desperate atmosphere of three surprises on this day, the white lotus cult leaders’ control over the rebels gradually decreased to the point where they were infinitely close to zero.

The chaos started here.

From October 19 to the restoration of Pingliang City on the seventh day of December, in just one and a half months, the total population of Pingliang Mansion has dropped by more than 30%, and the mansion is even more empty!

After the restoration of Pingliang Mansion, the bones that were cleared out of the city couldn’t even accumulate in chaotic graves, so mass graves had to be built to store them.

In the autumn of the following year, the number of women who died of dystocia exploded fourteen times as many as in previous years.

In July and August, Pingliang City abandoned Yingying in the vicinity of the city, and some refugees thought of it privately, and they came back to life.

Gee

The precarious refugees actually gave birth to fat on their legs after eating abandoned infants!

Even Sun Shaozong, who is accustomed to all kinds of murders, looks at the few lines in the file, and he can’t help being cold.

Not to mention that in addition to the cold data, the file also recorded many appalling tragedies in detail.

For example, in mid-November, the White Lotus Church Master Zhou Mou lost his vision with an arrow in his right eye and suffered from sores. Therefore, he exclusively feeds on human eyes and licks a dozen of them every day. He claims to be the reincarnation of Xiahou Yuanrang .

For another example, at the end of November, Bailian taught Sima Cheng, the left army, set up a cauldron on the street and ordered the looted county officials’ wives and children to rebel against the relationship in the pot. If they did not comply, they ordered people to cook them. , To feast guests with minced meat, the name is Mother and Son Lianxin Soup.

For example, at the beginning of December, the White Lotus Sect’s army guarded Su…

Looking at it all, it’s no wonder that the ancients said, ‘I would rather be a peaceful dog than a chaotic person’.

Of course, even if I read the file and feel deeply, it does not mean that Sun Shaozong has to learn everything. In most cases, small methods aimed at the spiritual level are often easier to break than **** torture. Psychological defense.

The book is back to the main story.

But he said that Sun Shao dropped the black material and hurried to the Sanjin mansion in the back alley.

This was originally a temporary place for the last operation, but this time it was still near Qingxuguan, so it was reused.

When Sun Shaozong went in, he saw the plainclothes of the three dragon guards, who were pretending to be little servants, where they were sweeping. He called a person to confess a few words with his ears. After that person took the order, he continued to rush to the inner courtyard. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? go with.

“Master Thousand Households.”

Immediately after crossing the second gate, Yang Licai had heard the news and greeted him, and bowed and said, “As expected, there are two hard-mouthed ones again. The humble job has been asking for a long time, and there is nothing useful.”

Although the White Lotus Sect is not good at rebelling, it has very good brainwashing methods. Those who are stationed in the capital to perform latent tasks are all the leaders among the fanatics. It is probably not easy to pry their mouths open. .

Fortunately, Sun Shaozong had a plan long ago, so he didn’t answer, and only slightly raised his chin to signal Yang Licai to lead the way.

The two went one after the other and arrived at a secluded courtyard in the northwest corner. The guard dragon opened the thick curtain and saw the dim light, the shopkeeper Wu and his wife were in a big shape, and they were tightly tied by iron. Tightly bound to the wall.

The shopkeeper Wu was fine, still dressed in the little cap of Tsing Yi.

But his wife, Xu, had been stripped completely, and only a crimson belly was left on her body, barely covering the two-point and one-line spring.

In order to avoid suicide by chewing his tongue, Xu’s mouth was also stuffed with a special bronze ball.

The dark iron chain, the green copper ball, the white flesh, and the red belly, under the flickering light, sometimes look like thick ink, sometimes like ink and blue…

It’s thick and mature, but light and sad!

The Xu family, who was originally just a little pretty, was stunned by a different kind of charm after this manipulation.

At this time, Yang Licai whispered to the side: “I heard that the shopkeeper Wu, Pin Rijibao, loves her lady, so he wanted to try to threaten her with her body. Unfortunately, even though the shopkeeper Wu was furious, he still gritted his teeth. Refused to speak.”

After a pause, he added: “Or maybe it’s the humble duty who didn’t dare to do things absolutely, maybe it’s time for the sword to be fulfilled…”

Before Yang Li could finish speaking, Sun Shaozong had already stepped in and no matter how depraved he was, he was not yet ready to use the ‘husband’s current crime’ to extract a confession.

However, as a member of the national spy agency, Yang Licai’s unscrupulous approach is not wrong, so although Sun Shaozong disdain to listen, he did not mean to blame him.

After entering the house, Sun Shaozong’s gaze first turned on Xu’s belly, staring at the embroidery of the unicorn sending child picture above, and wondering whether he should make a decision on the “child”.

For example, like the time in the Prince’s Mansion, the illusion of Xu’s pregnancy was concocted, and their will to die at this time was defeated with “hope for the future”.

But after thinking about it, although the shopkeeper Wu and his wife are not doctors, they have been in the drugstore for so many years. They must be more proficient in common medical knowledge than ordinary people. If a flaw is discovered, it will stimulate a stronger emotional resistance in the heart, so that Affect the follow-up interrogation.

So this method was soon left behind by him.

Staring at an irregular place, thinking about something very serious, Xu suddenly struggled violently, and murmured vaguely: “Dog thief, if you have any patience, just let it be, grandma frowned. , I’m in vain as a disciple of the Holy Cult!”

Sun Shaozong withdrew his gaze from the trembling unicorn sending children picture, and was waiting to talk to her, so as to take the opportunity to get a feel for the bottom, but the shopkeeper Wu rushed to remind: “Lady, today you and my husband are dead, don’t be with this The dog thief should do more theory, and be careful of what he smells, which hurts the robe of the teacher!”

Gee

This shopkeeper Wu is really alert.

But he said that Sun Shaozong didn’t think it made any difference when he took these words of scolding.

But the few dragon guards nearby did not do it. They copied the whip and the soldering iron, and they babbled: “Boldly oppose the thief, dare to be presumptuous in front of the thousands of adults in my family!”

Xu’s snort snorted disdainfully, and the shopkeeper Wu was even more silent, obviously making up his mind not to speak anymore.

“Ugh.”

Sun Shaozong sighed helplessly when he saw this: “I originally wanted to get the errands done peacefully, but the two people’s attitude of resisting people thousands of miles away made Sun a little bit embarrassed.”

“My lord, use torture.”

Yang Licai stepped forward in a timely manner and lifted his pale face, raised his hand to make a false note in the air, and said with a sneer: “There is a saying that’the human heart is like iron and the official law is like a furnace.’ Under Miki, I am not afraid that they will not reveal the truth!”

After speaking, he pointed to the root of the western wall and said, “Look, I have brought all the torture instruments.”

With his finger, someone immediately shone the lantern over, but saw that a three-story wooden shelf was placed at the root of the west wall, which was filled with all kinds of weird instruments of torture.

Sun Shaozong approached happily, picked up a hard-haired horse brush, and wondered: “What instrument of torture is this?”

“Look, my lord.”

Yang Li hurriedly picked up the thin-mouthed copper kettle next to him, and smiled: “These two are one type. First use boiling water to splash the skin and flesh, and then rub vigorously with a brush until the bones are rubbed out. The secretary called this “washing white”.”

The name is rather interesting.

Sun Shaozong put down the hard brush, and carefully picked up the iron ring with spikes inside and outside. Before he could ask questions, Yang Licai rushed to explain, “This thing is called’boiling people’, just wrap it around his neck. , No matter how severe the punishment is, you can’t faint.”

“This is’Lotus Root Broken Silk’, much worse than that clamp stick!”

“This is called ‘crushing’. The meat scraped from it can be directly used as dumpling stuffing.”

“This thing is used on the nose…”

“Unisex…”

After explaining seven or eight items in a row, Sun Shaozong stopped, and the eyes of the eagle and eagle circled back and forth on the torture instruments and the shopkeeper Wu and his wife.

When Yang Licai saw this, he was busy and pretended to be impatient, and eagerly said, “My lord, which one do you think we should take first to give this couple of dogs and men a taste?”

As he said, he squeezed his tongue excitedly.

The performance of this show is excellent, and it is based on the torture instruments of those on the shelf, not to mention other people, even the dragon guard with a lantern on the side can’t help but stand upright.

However, the shopkeeper Wu and the Xu family didn’t even have the nature to take a look. They stared at each other affectionately, as if they were already in another dimension.

Although this does not mean that they can really withstand all the torture, but this calm and calmness still has to make people sigh that people armed with faith are different, even if they believe in a cult.

Sun Shaozong was silent for a while, seeing that the couple were still alone, and then slowly shook his head: “None of them is needed.”

Yang Licai was taken aback when he heard the words, and blurted out, “What do you mean, my lord?”

This time it wasn’t pretending, but it was really unclear.

Just listen to Sun Shaozong smile indifferently: “In fact, this official is currently studying how much blood a person has to shed to die if the injury is not serious, but by coincidence I met two people who spared their lives, who happened to be a man and a woman.”

As he said, he grinned and revealed his white teeth, and said, “Come here, take them to the back kitchen cellar.”

Several dragon guards on the left and right responded in unison, and they stepped forward to “pick” the shopkeeper Wu and his wife from the wall, but they did not remove the iron cords from them. Instead, they took advantage of the situation and bound them into a stick, and then used a copper bar to The ball was blocked, and then he carried it out like a box.

When the group reached the cellar in the dark, they saw the plainclothes ordered by Sun Shaozong before, leading their colleagues to plow the soil on two wooden stakes.

Seeing that the chief arrived, several people were busy putting down their shovel and stepping forward to bow.

Sun Shaozong nodded his head and pushed the two wooden stakes in the past. Seeing that they were very secure, he ordered someone to tie the shopkeeper Wu and his wife back to them.

And the plainclothes responsible for burying the stakes did not know how to get a huge copper basin from there and put it on the open space between the two.

“This test is actually quite simple.”

Sun Shaozong said solemnly: “I will cut an opening in your wrists later, and let the blood drip into the copper basin slowly. Someone will come in every quarter of an hour to observe the situation. If you are willing to give up, you might as well make some trouble. There is movement.”

“If you really regard death as home, it wouldn’t be a big deal. It’s just that the people who are right about me are still waiting in the drugstore to help the officer. Sooner or later, you can get your comrades hooked.”

While they were talking, someone stepped forward and split the right arm of the shopkeeper Wu and Xu’s separately, and fixed them firmly on the top of the copper basin with several ropes.

Sun Shaozong begged for a dagger from Yang Licai, stepped forward and slashed each of the two wrists, then slowly took out the pocket watch, looked at the scale on it, and said: “It’s three quarters of the hour [7:45]. You will probably be able to see the difference before and after the first time, you two and enjoy it here.”

With that, he placed the pocket watch on the wine jar next to him, and then he greeted everyone and withdrew.

Touch

Seeing that the lid of the cellar fell to isolate the last gleam of light, Yang Licai finally couldn’t help but stepped forward and said, “My lord, how come you can’t understand the humble job? The two knives only cut a small hole. , It doesn’t look like a dead person.”

“nonsense.”

Sun Shaozong rolled his eyes and said with a smile: “It was not easy to get it back. If it really kills people, how can we explain to Lord Zhenfu?”

“Then you do this…”

“There is still a jar hanging on the beam.”

Sun Shaozong smiled and said: “I just dropped the dagger in the cellar deliberately, and when I sent someone down to pick it up, I quietly lifted the jar upside down, and the water inside would drip from the cracks, creating the illusion of continuous blood flow.”

“Just imagine, if you were tied in the cellar and listened to the blood of yourself and your wife dripping into the copper basin, what would be the torment in your heart?”

“Especially people like things, the more they are in a dark and quiet environment, the easier it is to think randomly. When this mind becomes active, it is not far from’greed of life and fear of death’.”

“At that time, let’s take advantage of the situation. Why don’t they worry that they won’t tell the truth?”

When Yang Licai heard this, he couldn’t help but shook his head and exclaimed, “My lord’s methods really make the humble job amazed. The couple planted in your hands, they really are not innocent at all!”
