I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system

The study of the prime minister's mansion.

Cao Cao, who had calmed down, roared with lingering anger on his face,

"How dare someone assassinate me, if I find out who is behind the scenes, I will definitely not spare him!"

Xun Yu at the side said softly,

"Prime Minister calm down, the assassin has been handed over to Xu Duling Manchong. I believe that with his means, it won't be long before he can learn from the assassin who is behind the scenes."

Only then did Cao Cao's expression soften a lot, looking at Cao Mao at the side, he said with some relief,
"Mao'er, it's a good thing you are here today, otherwise, I'm afraid being a father will be in danger."

"That's what kids should do."

Cao Mao smiled faintly, then changed the topic,

"Father, I thought that in addition to finding out who assassinated you, I also need to investigate how these dead men sneaked into the prime minister's mansion."

Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, but immediately came to his senses.

His face was gloomy and authentic,
"Yes, what you said makes a lot of sense."

"My lord, the prime minister's mansion is heavily guarded, but these dead men can come and go freely, which is enough to explain a problem."

Guo Jia's face was solemn, and he said every word clearly,
"We have a traitor among us!"

The corner of Cao Mao's mouth twitched.

I suspect you are driving, but I have no proof.

After hearing Guo Jia's words, everyone felt panic among each other.

Cao Cao frowned slightly, and said softly,

"Don't panic, everyone, wait for Man Chong's reply."

At this moment, Xu Duling Man Chong strode into the study and saluted Cao Cao.

"Man Chong, how is the assassin's torture going?"

Cao Cao asked impatiently.

Man Chong gave a wry smile,
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, I used all kinds of torture, but the man didn't answer."

"Besides, I also investigated the entry and exit of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there was no clue."

Hearing this, Cao Cao was furious immediately, and jumped up, cursing,

"Trash, you can't do anything about a little dead man!"

Man Chong looked terrified, hurriedly bowed and said,
"Prime Minister appease the anger, the humble official will intensify efforts to find out who is the emissary from that population."

Cao Mao suddenly smiled slightly,
"Father, since these assassins are dead men, the usual torture methods won't work on them."

"It's better to let the children come forward and torture them personally."

Cao Cao pondered for a while, nodded and said,

"Alright, let you and Xu Duling go to interrogate together."

"As ordered!"

The two handed each other, and then left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Cao Mao and Man Chong walked side by side, heading towards the prison of the Xudu county government.

"My lord, why are you so sure that you were able to torture the messenger behind that dead man?"

Man Chong's face was indifferent, and he looked at Cao Mao with a slight displeasure.

After all, this was the second time he had seen Cao Mao.

The last time he dealt with Cao Mao, he was dragged by Cao Mao as a spearman to deal with Cao Ang and Cao Pi.

But this time Cao Mao took the responsibility of Xu Duling on his behalf.

This made Man Chong even more upset.

"There is no other, because Xu Du makes you, your method of interrogating criminals is too gentle."

Cao Mao smiled lightly.

Man Chong was suddenly stunned.

He is famous for his cruel methods, but any sinner who falls into his hands will peel off his skin even if he does not die.

Those princes and ministers are afraid of their own county prisons like snakes and scorpions.

However, in Cao Mao's mouth, he became gentle?

While they were talking, the two had already arrived at the Xudu county government office.

Seeing Man Chong's surprised look, Cao Mao immediately smiled coldly,
"Forget it, let Xu Duling see what is real torture today!"

"Take the criminals!"

The assassin who was knocked to the ground by Cao Mao earlier was brought up by several wolf-like yamen servants.

He has an ordinary appearance, and belongs to the kind of people who cannot be recognized when thrown into the crowd.

It's just that now his appearance is very miserable, no matter on his face or body, there are bloodstains from the whip whip.

Cao Mao stepped forward to check, then shook his head slowly.

"That's it? I thought Xu Duling could have some superb torture skills. I saw it today, but that's all."

Man Chong frowned, and snorted with some displeasure,

"Since this is the case, please let me open your eyes, young master."

"no problem."

Cao Mao fully agreed, smiled slightly, looked at the dead man in front of him, and said softly,
"Are you willing to confess?"

"Bah, thief! It's not that easy to ask me to speak up. If you have the ability, kill me!"

The dead man glared at Cao Mao and cursed angrily.

"My methods are not as gentle as Xu Duling's. In my hands, as long as you don't speak for a day, I will make it impossible for you to survive or die!"

Cao Mao smiled lightly, but was not angry.

He picked up the bowl beside him, which was full of glistening liquid.

"This is mercury. I'll bury you in the soil later, only your head is exposed, and then cut a cross on top of your head with a knife. After pulling the scalp away, pour mercury into it.

You will feel excruciating pain and will struggle.At the end, your body crawls out naked from the top of your head, leaving only a piece of skin left in the soil. "

"This is skinning torture."

After hearing this, the dead man on the opposite side couldn't help flashing a trace of horror.

But still insisted,

"Just a little punishment, but you want to speak up?"

"Don't worry, I have other means."

Cao Mao smiled and put down the bowl containing the mercury, picked up the lid of the jar next to it, and showed the inside to the dead man.

I saw that it was full of poisonous insects such as spiders, scorpions, and poisonous snakes.

After the dead man saw it, his complexion changed.

"This punishment is called a pot. I will fill the jar with all kinds of poisonous insects and put you in it."

"When those poisonous insects are crawling all over your body, it should feel amazing, right?"

Following Cao Mao's description, the dead man could no longer maintain his composure, and his face turned pale.

Even Man Chong, who was behind Cao Mao, felt the chill behind him and felt a little uncomfortable.

"These two are just appetizers. In addition to these, there are tiger stools, needles, sticks..."

Cao Mao introduced the top ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty one by one like a few treasures.

"I advise you to think again. If you really don't want to confess, then I have no choice but to use punishment."

Cao Mao picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and looked at the prisoner in front of him with a smile.

The dead man was sweating profusely, with a frightened expression on his face.

Just listening to Cao Mao's tortures makes one's scalp tingle.

No wonder he said that he would not be able to survive, nor would he be able to die!

"I'm recruiting! I'm recruiting!"

He said dejectedly,
"It's... Dong Cheng, the chariot general, ordered me to do it!"

Man Chong was overjoyed, and shouted to the servant at the side,

"Quickly, record everything he said!"

According to what the dead man said, they were chariot and cavalry general Dong Cheng, who spent huge sums of money to train them.

Dong Cheng instructed them to sneak into the prime minister's mansion today and assassinate Cao Cao.

As for why he could sneak into the prime minister's mansion so easily and without any hindrance, he said he was not too clear.

"Thank you young master, if there is no young master, I'm afraid it would be impossible to get the truth from him so easily."

Holding the indictment, Man Chong was both surprised and delighted.
