fake prince

Chapter 157

With a wave of his hand, another round of waterboarding.

These punishments were used to deal with officials in the previous court, and there would be no injuries afterwards, but in terms of pain, even tough guys had to succumb.

Huang Liangping was indeed a ruthless character, so he dragged on for half an hour.

The room was filled with a stench, and the pants of the person lying on the ground were yellow with feces and wet, not to mention incontinence. When the things on the face were torn off, blood flowed from the eyes, nostrils, and mouth.

"...I recruited..." Knowing that if this continues, he will die, Huang Liangping gave in, and opened his mouth weakly.

"Let him draw the charge!" Qiu Chang was only imprisoned, and his back was drenched in cold sweat. In fact, Dazheng Hanlin was not studying, but would be transferred once in each yamen. He had read the introduction.

There are only people in the story who can survive the torture, but in reality there is no one (Note 1). Huang Liangping can survive the torture for less than half an hour, and he is really a first-class hero.

Once this kind of enemy goes out, he will die without a place to bury him.

Huang Liangping smiled wryly, he didn't even look at the paper, and just drew on it, feeling ruthless.

Even if the confession is related to the order of the imperial court, it has to be reported to the province and the Ministry of Punishment, and then played to Long Live. As long as one of the procedures is required, he can retract the confession and knock these unconscionable thieves to the ground—no Officials will recognize such cruel officials who endanger the overall interests.

When everything was finished, Qiu Chang looked at the paper in his hand, stared at the man lying on the ground in a panic, wanted to speak, but felt that he had nothing to say, sighed, turned around and left.

The imperial envoy, Luo Pei, was actually not far away. Qiu Chang offered the paper, but Luo Pei didn't show any joy, but ordered with a sullen face, "Watch closely, don't let him commit suicide."

"But other things, don't be too harsh in resuming the prisoner's treatment." Luo Pei said.

"Yes, my lord!" Qiu Chang thought for a while, and then said: "The rain is still falling. Although the news has been sent and the seal has been filled, the official has to go to Xishan County once to see the Nantun Dam. Case."

After finishing speaking, Qiu Chang seemed to want to say something more, looked at Luo Pei's face, said nothing, bowed silently and backed away.

Only Luo Pei and Liu Zhan were left in the courtyard. They walked to the corridor, watched the light rain that continued to fall, and did not speak for a long time.

"Qiu Chang is afraid that he will be divorced from me from now on." Luo Pei let out a heavy breath, and smiled bitterly: "No one likes me like this."

"My lord, what will the imperial court think of you killing Huang Liangping with torture like this?" Liu Zhan showed a disapproving expression: "Why are you in such a hurry? Left and right have already been dismissed and placed under house arrest. , if you do this, you not only break the rules, but also you are the first day of junior high school, and the king of Qi is the fifteenth day, no one will stop you."

"You are a Taoist, and you don't know much about the court. King Qi wants to put me to death this time, and Huang Liangping just obeys orders."

"Furthermore, Huang Liangping is bold and reckless, and he is actually a talented person. If he doesn't take the opportunity to kill him, the surrounding counties will be obedient. I have made up my mind to use the king's order to kill him in Longhu Lake in order to open the Dragon Palace. This is a disaster. It's not small, if you don't match the scene, it will become my criminal evidence, but for the sake of the court, I can't care about it."

At this time, the sky was dark, and Luo Pei's expression was even more gloomy: "Last year, the Yihai Mansion collapsed, and it was said that more than [-] people were drowned. In fact, I don't know how many people were destroyed. The saint entrusted me to control the water. I said, please rest assured, Your Majesty. It puts a person and an animal in danger of freezing and starving."

"Others think I'm flattering, but in fact, this is what I mean. Even if the world says I'm a cruel official with cruel methods, I have no fear for the sake of the court and the people and water control."

Liu Chen was silent for a moment, then finally bent his straight spine and bowed heavily.

Outside, a few yamen servants prepared horses, and Qiu Chang changed his clothes: "Inform the Xishan County yamen, and all other dams will have to be inspected. If there are any unreliable places, report them immediately."

"Declaration of innocence, but concealment and failure to report, immediately dismissed."

"Yes!"

Qiu Chang stopped talking, got up on his horse, and ran wildly.

The rain fell, even if he had a coir raincoat, he couldn't help it, and soon the rain dripped down his neck, soaking his underwear, but Qiu Chang not only didn't feel cold, but felt lighter under the crackling.

Just now I was the one who forced the confession, but there was a heavy stone in my heart, and I could hardly breathe.

Today is the jury, Anzhi will be a prisoner tomorrow?
The title of the gold list is Guangzong Yaozu, but how can you know the pain of suffocating when you go deep into it?

In fact, it is not too far away from Xishan County. After running for an hour, it is next to the area of ​​Nantun Dam. It can be clearly seen that the water has disappeared, and the muddy face is exposed. It's easy for the wheels to get stuck, but it's not as fast as walking.

In the rain, he saw oil-paper lanterns flickering on the embankment. Qiu Chang felt relieved and rushed up. Sure enough, the dam was sealed, and the county magistrate of Xishan County was directing it. Duan checked it carefully, and found that there were no omissions, so he smiled and greeted the county magistrate: "Your Excellency, it was really hard work to seal and close the dam overnight."

"Don't dare, this is the duty of a subordinate official."

Although the county magistrate is at the seventh rank and Qiu Chang is at the eighth rank, this is not the same thing. The county magistrate is born in Juren, and he will reach the peak in this life.

And this person in front of him is No. 7 in the second list. He entered the Hanlin and was selected as a good scholar. As long as this errand is completed, he will be a seventh-rank official when he returns. In less than ten years, he will have to attend the court and participate in the ceremony. Where is the county magistrate? Dare to neglect?

Xiajia Hotel
"My lord, I'm just going to find you." In a small guest room, the wild Taoist heard someone knocking on the door, and the rhythm was the agreed signal, so he knew it was not an outsider. let in.

It was raining in the afternoon, and it was getting a little heavy.

Su Ziji was also unable to come out because there were people visiting at noon, so now he took the time to take a trip while he was engrossed in playing chess with the guests.

Even though the journey is not far, my shoulders are already soaked.

The wild Taoist looked at it: "Young master, do you want to change your clothes and bake it?"

"No need." Su Ziji said: "There are still guests at home, so let's leave after finishing talking."

After entering the room, he sat down on a chair and asked, "You are looking for me, but because of Jia Yuan's business?"

"My lord knows things like a god!" Ye Daoist also sat down, first complimented Su Ziji, and then said: "Jia Yuan wants to see us."

"As expected." Su Ziji thought to himself.

Jia Yuan wanted to see him, but not necessarily out of intention.

After all, it was stated at the beginning that the things I can help are limited. Once the lawsuit against Huang Liangping starts, it will be Jia Yuan's own business. I will not contact Jia Yuan. When the case becomes an iron case, there is no need to meet. .

The two parties were originally cooperating, and Su Ziji didn't intend to ask Jia Yuan for his gratitude. Naturally, he would not leave his name and identity, but only let people stare at him, and occasionally remind him with codes.

Now Jia Yuan's attitude suddenly changed, maybe the imperial envoy Luo Pei wanted to see him.
