Detective in the Red Chamber

"Pooh!"

Shopkeeper Wu spat desperately, and roared angrily, "My family members were all killed by you hawks and grandchildren 17 years ago..."

The brass pipe returned to its place, and the roar stopped abruptly.

"cough!"

Such an oolong, even with Sun Shaozong's city, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, cleared his throat, and then continued, "The more this is the case, the more shopkeeper Wu should cherish the only remaining family members around him."

"Besides, your parents are under the nine springs, so they don't necessarily want you to die in vain, and also bear the infamy."

Hearing the word 'full of infamy', shopkeeper Wu struggled fiercely again, but Sun Shaozong didn't give him a chance to speak this time, and continued, "Actually, think about it differently. If you abandon the dark and turn to the bright and make contributions, you will be rewarded by the court in the future. For the ancestors of the Wu family, it is also a kind of comfort for the Tongxian couple to return to their hometown in fine clothes."

Ok.

This set of rhetoric, even Sun Shaozong himself felt a little far-fetched-but there is no way, who would have thought that shopkeeper Wu is a bitter and hated person?

We have to find something to talk about first, to get this matter over with.

What followed was what Sun Shaozong originally wanted to say to him.

"I know, maybe you are thinking about dying once and for all, but is this death really going to be a hundred?"

"Don't talk about others, let's talk about Mrs. Zun first."

"I, Yang Baihu, have said that even when faced with the threat of insulting your wife, you still grit your teeth and refuse to say a word—but what if your wife volunteers to sacrifice herself, or if you say half-heartedly?"

Shopkeeper Wu's struggle became more violent again, so much so that Sun Shaozong had to order someone to hold him down, and then continued, "You probably want to refute me, thinking that Mrs. Zun would never be so shameless, right?"

"But don't forget that she is different now. In order to survive, she did not hesitate to betray her comrades and your King Maitreya..."

Sun Shaozong leaned forward slightly, looking directly at shopkeeper Wu's bloodshot eyes, "I even don't hesitate to betray you, my husband!"

After pausing for a moment, Sun Shaozong saw a trace of panic and uneasiness in the anger of shopkeeper Wu, and then sat back in a leisurely manner, and continued to say in a flat tone, "After going through all this, how dare you guarantee that she will not Will you sell your body in order to continue to live?"

"A woman from the White Lotus Sect, without the blessing of a man, still has a bit of beauty..."|

"You should also know that the people in Beizhen Fusi are not all gentlemen with no desires, and taking possession of a widow of Bailian who rebels against the party may be for them to vent, to adjust, or to revenge. "

"The purpose is not important, the important thing is that because of Mrs. Zun's background and weakness, they don't have much scruples at all."

"Faced with the ensuing persecution, Mrs. Zun would rather die than obey, or compromise like today, and sell her body with half push and half."

"Given her choice today, I think the latter is more likely—what do you think?"

"Of course, at that time, she will definitely regret, cry, and even silently say your name under different men."

"As time goes by, she may get used to taking the initiative to exchange her body for something, or she may have been half-pushing and half-going down."

"Until one day, she will come to your grave with a big belly, light a candle and pray, saying that after the child is born, she will let him be named Wu after you."

"How is it? Do you feel very moved? Do you feel that deep down in her heart, she still misses you?"

"Haha, but the reason why the child's surname is Wu is probably because even Mrs. Zun herself can't figure out who the child is!"

Having said that, Sun Shaozong finally stopped, and then winked at Xiaoxiao Longjianwei next to him.

"You bastard, donkey like dog..."

The moment the copper pipe was pulled out, countless swear words spewed out from Shopkeeper Wu's mouth, and the saliva was even mixed with scarlet blood.

Sun Shaozong still responded indifferently, until shopkeeper Wu couldn't catch his breath, he replied with a smile, "Curse, continue to scold until you are happy with it-then, think about it again, what is it?" If you want to return to your hometown with Mrs. Tong Zun, it is still meaningless to die with regret!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't look at shopkeeper Wu again, got up and walked outside the door.

Chapter 526 Extorting a Confession by Torture 【Part [-]】

After the hysterical catharsis, physical and mental exhaustion followed.

And this exhaustion became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

In a trance, shopkeeper Wu didn't even remember when he began to confess, but only vaguely remembered that he answered many tricky and weird questions, and almost without reservation!

It wasn't until Sun Shaozong reappeared and picked up the confession written in small script that the shopkeeper Wu woke up from his distraught state and cast a venomous look at him.

But it's just a look.

The courage to look at death like home and angrily denounce the bandit chief has already been squeezed into the palm of the hand along with that paper confession.

However, Sun Shaozong read the confession over and over three times, and after confirming that most of the links can echo each other, he shifted his gaze to shopkeeper Wu, and said with a half-smile, "Treasurer Wu, you..."

"grown ups."

At this moment, Yang Licai's voice happened to sound outside the door, "Please take a step to speak."

Sun Shaozong subconsciously stopped talking, but he didn't intend to go out. Instead, he raised his voice and said, "The shopkeeper Wu has surrendered to the imperial court now, so just come in and speak up if you have anything to say."

Yang Licai picked up the curtain and came in, first glanced at the shopkeeper Wu strangely, then bowed and said, "The Xu family is still unwilling to let go even now because of his lowly position and incompetence."

Still refuse to let go? !

With just a few short words, shopkeeper Wu seemed to have been hit by a sap again. He seemed to have caught something in his numbness and soreness, but he couldn't grasp the point, and couldn't help asking hoarsely, "My wife... My wife, she..."

In the middle of the conversation, he didn't know what to ask, or he didn't dare to ask any more.

"Shopkeeper Wu is really a great blessing!"

At this time, I saw Sun Shaozong provoking Thumbs, and sincerely praised, "How many women like this are there in the world?"

After receiving his praise, shopkeeper Wu only felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, as if a huge boulder was pressing on his body, and he managed to force out another question from between his teeth, "You...you mean, my wife didn't... didn't confess ?!"

"exactly."

"But...but she is in the cellar obviously...obviously..."

"You said that."

Sun Shaozong spread his hands, "I ordered the person to go down and inquire. Once you find that you and your wife can't hold on anymore, you should make some noise secretly—whoever imagined it will cause a rift between you and your husband."

Damn!

Damn it!

I actually fell into the trap of this traitor!

Shopkeeper Wu felt remorse to the extreme, but he couldn't help but continue to question, "But I clearly saw it in this room..."

"Are you sure you see clearly?"

Sun Shaozong sneered, "I specifically asked her to put the oil lamp in front of your eyes just to dazzle your eyes. Otherwise, you should at least find that the woman's buttocks are a little shrunken than Mrs. Zun's."

Now shopkeeper Wu couldn't even deceive himself, the stuffy air in his chest went straight to the Baihui acupoint, not to mention his red head and face, even his pupils were covered with blood.

He opened his mouth and yelled "You...you...you" three times, and suddenly a mouthful of old blood spewed out, his head tilted and there was no movement!

Seeing this, Sun Shaozong hurriedly stretched out his hand to test his carotid artery, and confirmed that he just passed out, so he was relieved—he took the initiative to reveal the truth, not to make this guy mad.

"grown ups."

Just as he ordered his men to go down to fetch some well water so as to wake up shopkeeper Wu, Yang Licai on the side immediately asked, "Your tricks are really admirable to me, but there is one more thing that me can't understand no matter how I think about it. "

"The wounds on the wrists of the husband and wife stopped without a lot of bleeding. No matter how frightened they were by the sound of dripping water, it wouldn't be like a serious illness in just two or three hours, right?"

Sun Shaozong replied casually, "Half scared, half bored."

"Bored?"

"Yes."

Sun Shaozong is also not good at giving him science popularization, saying that the gas emitted during the rotting process of vegetables will cause the vegetable cellar to be particularly prone to hypoxia symptoms.

So I had to explain as roughly as possible, "The vegetable cellar is already stuffy. Ordinary people will feel dizzy, chest tight and short of breath after staying in it for a long time. What's more, they are already terrified and struggling desperately for a while?"

To put it bluntly, the so-called blood drop experiment was just a cover deliberately made up to increase the fear of shopkeeper Wu and his wife—being smothered to death or something is not as good as listening to their own bloodshed, want to come the terror?

Yang Licai listened to something that he didn't understand, and wanted to ask the details, but the little schoolboy who was ordered to fetch water had already rushed back, and he couldn't help but pour half a bucket of water on the shopkeeper Wu's head.

"Hoo... poof..."

Shopkeeper Wu gave a jolt, then took a breath, and then sprayed some water out.

The dazed gaze turned around on everyone's faces, and the slack focus gradually settled on Sun Shaozong's face, radiating negative emotions such as remorse, resentment, and fear.

Seeing that he was full of emotions again, Sun Shaozong sighed suddenly, and said helplessly, "Shopkeeper Wu, if you think that I'm telling the truth just to humiliate you, it would be a waste of all my hard work."

After a lot of painstaking efforts?

Pooh!

If it wasn't for being helped by the iron chain, and the ball was stuffed in his mouth again, shopkeeper Wu would definitely jump on him and bite him a few times to vent his hatred!

Sun Shaozong didn't point out that he could believe it, and shook the confession in his hand, and continued, "Now your life is safe, but if Mrs. Zun continues to be stubborn, you will lose your life in vain—by ​​then you Husband and wife, don’t they want heaven and man to be separated forever?”

"Why don't you go to Haosheng to persuade Mrs. Zun to serve the court with you, and I will count you as a crime and meritorious service, how about it?"

"It's not just Madam, if you and your wife can make more contributions in the process of arresting Bailian's traitor, not only will you be spared the death penalty, but you may even have a promising future."

"At that time, the wealth and glory will be inexhaustible, and people will be able to call you master and lord. Wouldn't it be a hundred times better than you hiding your head and showing your tail and worrying about fear?"

Speaking of which, seeing that the shopkeeper Wu was already a little loose, Sun Shaozong hurriedly resorted to the last trump card.

He patted the ink dragon swallowing cloud robe of the little school beside him, and said earnestly, "If you don't have this official robe to protect you, even if I firmly believe that your heart is for the imperial court, the brothers below may not all have this kind of uniform." I got to know you a lot."

"If there is someone who is not open-eyed and becomes rude to shopkeeper Wu or Mrs. Zun, wouldn't it be a disappointment to your righteous deed today?"

"I also ask shopkeeper Wu to think twice."

After all the coercion and lure, Sun Shaozong didn't stay any longer, and ordered two dragon guards to help shopkeeper Wu remove the shackles, and then led Yang Licai away.

And this walk, he arrived at the stables in the front yard non-stop.

Seeing Sun Shaozong turned on his mount, Yang Licai hurried to untie the reins, but Sun Shaozong glanced back at him, but ordered, "You stay here."

After Yang Licai heard this, he thought it was him who wanted to claim credit alone, even though he was slandering him, he had no choice but to obediently obey.

Sun Shaozong turned his horse's head around, and then ordered, "Call the people who arrested the shopkeeper Wu and his wife this afternoon, and remember to let them bring the weapons they have at hand."

After a pause, remembering that there were a few women inside, he hurriedly added, "Forget about those who pretend to be maids."

When Yang Licai heard this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and asked cautiously, "My lord, don't you want to report to Lord Zhenfu?"

"Of course not."

"But didn't Master Zhenfu have an explanation, let us pass it on at any time?!"

Yang Licai became anxious immediately, disobedience to orders is a big taboo in the army, and it is an even worse crime in a secret service agency like Long Guard!

Sun Shaozong bent down, took off the big golden ring knife from the victory hook, and quickly pulled a few knives on the horse. Seeing that the old man he hadn't seen for a long time didn't feel unfamiliar in his hand, he hung it up again in satisfaction. go back.

After trying the saber, he turned back to Yang Licai and said, "There is a way that you will not accept the orders of the emperor outside. Besides, you should also know that the last action was sabotaged by the traitor. How can you repeat the same mistakes now?"

"If the eunuch is to blame, I will be responsible for it myself! And if everything goes smoothly for me, I will definitely not be able to do without your credit!"

Having said that, his complexion suddenly sank, and he said solemnly, "But if someone here dares to leave his post without authorization after I leave, I have no choice but to invite all of you to go to the water prison!"

Yang Licai saw that Sun Shaozong said so resolutely, and promised to share all the benefits and take the blame, so naturally he didn't dare to persuade him any more.

As if busy flying, he summoned those plainclothes spies—in fact, after excluding those women, there were no more than six people in total.

When these six people came forward to salute, Sun Shaozong suddenly pulled the reins, and the man who had reined in the steed under his crotch stood up, and the horse's hoof kicked half a circle in front of everyone before it fell to the ground again.

"It's okay, they are all with seeds."

Seeing that none of the six showed signs of fear, Sun Shaozong nodded in satisfaction, and said, "I summoned you in the middle of the night for no other reason than to take you to fight for wealth!"

"My officer has now found out that there are six people sent by the White Lotus Sect to the capital, only Xiangzhu, and the leader who is in charge of leading the team is even the deputy leader who is under one person and above ten thousand!"

"As long as you take down this group of lawless rebels, I guarantee that all of you will be promoted!"

In fact, before learning that the leader of the team this time was the deputy leader of the White Lotus Sect, Sun Shaozong never thought about acting arbitrarily.

But when he heard that it was such a big fish, Sun Shaozong was moved.

Ever since Sun Shaozong took the lead in the case of the crown prince, the appeasement envoy Lu Hui obviously praised him, but secretly showed some precautions and rejections, and he would no longer live up to the previous wooing.

And Sun Shaozong thought about it these days, and he probably understood his thoughts.

Lu Hui looked strong and sturdy, but he was already over half a hundred years old. He would take another seven or eight years at most to be the governor of Beizhen.

Therefore, when he faced Sun Shaozong at first, he had some elders' love and care, and even wanted to train Sun Shaozong to be his successor.

But the problem is that Sun Shaozong's growth rate has far exceeded his expectations!

It's only half a year of hard work, and the accumulated merit has been promoted from the fourth rank. This is still a lot of credit, and the result is that there is no reward.

You know, the Zhen Fu Shi is only a fourth grade!
