Father can be an enemy to the country

After this exciting drama, the image of the big families in the hearts of the people plummeted.

Not only because of the evil things they did, but also because of their cowardly behavior of groveling under the butcher's knife and begging for life.

After all, it’s hard to maintain respect for a person after witnessing him being scared to the point of peeing. Naturally, they will not take his words seriously, let alone make trouble again.

Especially after the crackdown on gangs and evil, there will basically be no more troubles in Suzhou City, so the two brothers did not return to the military camp, but moved into the Canglang Pavilion prepared for them by Suzhou Mansion.

This is the oldest garden in Suzhou City. It was built during the Qingli period of the Northern Song Dynasty. It was also the residence of Han Shizhong in the Southern Song Dynasty. However, it became a separate courtyard of Nanchan Temple in the Yuan Dynasty. Li Heng said hello, and the monks obediently cleaned it out for the two royal highnesses to stay.

The two brothers interrogated Xie Yunzhang who had regained consciousness in the Mingdao Hall of Canglang Pavilion.

Because he was incontinent on the execution ground, Li Heng had someone give him a bath and change into clean clothes in order to avoid infecting the two highnesses.

And he hadn't received a whipping, so he looked intact. But if you look carefully, you will see that the arrogance that permeated the bones of Mr. Li Ting in the past is gone.

Only a humble and cowardly little old man is left.

As soon as he entered the main hall, he quickly knelt down and thanked His Highness for not killing him.

"Don't thank me early," King Jin waved his hand and said, "I'm just keeping you alive temporarily, it depends on how you behave."

"Yes, I will definitely behave well." Mr. Li Ting looked like he was being repaired and docile by the iron fist of the dictatorship.

"You said at the execution ground that Lu Zhonghe didn't commit suicide?" King Jin relaxed on the back of his chair, listening to the sound of the piano in the waterside pavilion, and asked lazily: "Why didn't you say it yesterday? ?”

"Yesterday, yesterday..." Xie Yunzhang stammered: "I don't dare."

"What are you afraid of?"

"The villain is afraid that if his words reach the ears of the big shots in Beijing, he will end up like Mr. Ping Jiang." Xie Yunzhang said with a grimace.

"What?" The third child slowly sat up and asked, "Did Lu Zhonghe's death have anything to do with the ministers of the DPRK?"

"Yes." Xie Yunzhang nodded, and honestly explained that after Lu Zhonghe was humiliated at the Laba Banquet, he planned to fake suicide to create public opinion, and the government and the public cooperated to force the King of Chu to abandon the Shibo Division.

Lao Liu rolled his eyes when he heard this. These guys really don't take themselves seriously...

"Do you know who the 'big shot in Beijing' is?" Lao San asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know. Lu Zhonghe is very tight-lipped about this. Even his eldest son and third brother don't know about it. I'm afraid only his fourth brother Ji He who is stationed in Nanjing knows." After Xie Yunzhang finished speaking, he quickly took the initiative to confess for fear that King Jin would be dissatisfied. :

"But the villain knows that the big man has a very high status and great ability. He relied on that big man for the previous abolition of the Shipping Department."

"..." The third and sixth sons looked at each other and already had a guess.

"It was precisely after receiving the letter from that big shot that Lu Zhonghe had to pretend to be real..." Xie Yunzhang continued.

"That's it..." King Jin looked disappointed and said, "This little information you have is not enough to save your life."

"The villain hasn't finished speaking yet," Xie Yunzhang took a deep breath and confessed everything about Lu Zhonghe's situation before his death.

"Have you seen this with your own eyes?" King Jin asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, of course. When they started, they asked the villain to go back first." Xie Yunzhang said hurriedly: "At that time, Duke Pingjiang held my legs and begged me not to leave. He said that as soon as I left, they would kill him. . But his eldest son and third brother forcefully opened his hands... and told me to leave quickly."

"Fuck..." The two brothers were really shocked. What kind of situation is this, where the father says goodbye and the son laughs, and the brother is attacked by the brother?

"When the villain walked out of the door, he couldn't help but look back and saw that Lu Wenbin had covered his mouth because Pingjiang Gong shouted for help." Xie Yunzhang sighed sadly and said, "I'll go back to my residence in half an hour. , I heard howling from the main courtyard."

"Yes, we're basically right." The third child finally nodded with satisfaction and smiled at the sixth child: "The result of the autopsy showed that he was choked by two people, covered his mouth and nose, and suffocated to death. It seems that the murderer died It’s these two.”

"Hmm..." Lao Liu nodded, although strictly speaking, Xie Yunzhang did not witness the scene where the two killed Lu Zhonghe.

But this is the Ming Dynasty, and it is the prince who decides the case, so there is no need for such strict evidence.

~~

Soon, the two highnesses interrogated the uncles and nephews of the Lu family.

Patricide and brother murder are a heinous crime. Lu Wenbin and Lu Zhonghe naturally denied the crime and even scolded Xie Yunzhang for trying to survive and slandering them.

The third child didn't bother to talk anymore, so he immediately ordered: "Come here, bring two sheep."

He wanted to make the filial son laugh enough...

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome," Lao Liu suddenly said: "Bring a basin of water and two cotton towels."

"Oh? The sixth child wants to show off his skills?" The third child said happily: "What are you still doing? Hurry up!"

While the guards were carrying the water, the King of Chu ordered his uncle and nephew to be tied tightly to the Grand Master's chair, and then kicked down.

The uncle and nephew turned their backs to the sky, with their heads lower than their feet.

At this time, the water came. The King of Chu ordered people to soak the cotton towels and cover them on their faces.

Soon, the two of them were gasping for air one after another in order to breathe smoothly.

However, at this time, Lao Liu ordered water to be poured on the two people's cotton towels. The uncle and nephew immediately sucked water into their trachea and began to cough violently.

What's even more shocking is that the two of them were struggling desperately at the same time, as if they were drowning. But because his hands and feet were tied, he could only convulse his whole body, and his hands and feet were twisted desperately, which looked extremely terrifying.

The third child looked astonished. He probably understood the principle of this kind of waterboarding, and even came up with three improvements at the same time.

But this 'traditional water torture' invented by the US military is enough to destroy anyone's will.

When the touch was almost done, Lao Liu asked someone to remove the cotton towel, and saw the uncle and nephew's pale and white faces with tears streaming down their faces, mixed with vomit, and their eyes filled with bone-deep fear.

After the two of them took a moment to breathe, Lao Liu ordered again: "Do it again."

The guards immediately followed suit...

When the cotton towel was lifted for the second time, how could the uncle and nephew dare to hesitate? He quickly poured the beans out of the bamboo tube and explained the process of killing his father and brother.

"Good guy, it's amazing." The third child couldn't help but admired: "It's more effective than my brother and me."

"The effect is almost the same, I just don't want them to laugh anymore." Lao Liu said lightly.

"Yes, you deserve to be punished for killing your father and brother!" said the third child through gritted teeth. He couldn't bear to hear this accusation.

After the confession was recorded, His Highness Prince Jin felt relieved and smiled at Lao Liu: "Brother, my mission is completed. Now it's your turn to show off your talents."

"Then what are you going to do?" Lao Liu asked naively.

"That's what I'm asking." Lao San laughed and said, "I heard that the beauties in Suzhou and Jinling are both good at winning. Of course, brother, I have to study them in a simple and in-depth way."
