Second Uncle looked at the fifteen people he had arrested, his scalp tingling, and he said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, you are very vigilant, otherwise if you had lost one or two people, we would probably just think they changed their minds at the last minute and went back to their hometown, and we wouldn't have paid much attention to this matter. Fortunately, no big mistake was made!"

The second uncle thought about it again and asked worriedly, "If we catch the people in the open, will the people in the dark become desperate and do something desperate?"

Yu Jiuer frowned and nodded, "It's possible! But they probably didn't expect that we could find them so quickly, figure out the key immediately, and find out the person in the open so quickly. There is still a way out. Second uncle, you will form a temporary guard team with the yamen runners and cavalry to protect the safety of the people!"

"it is good!"

Yu Jiuer said to Cheng An, "Go and post notices, ordering people not to go out at night. Those rats hiding in the dark are very likely to act at night. Let the guards patrol the sky in hot air balloons! Cover the sky and the ground with spies."

"Should all three hot air balloons in the county be used?" Cheng An asked.

Yu Jiuer nodded: "Use them all! You still have to go to Xiguanying to find your uncle and borrow the hot air balloon from Xiguanying. Try to avoid Mr. Rong, the old man is a bit stingy."

After arranging security measures, Yu Jiuer felt at ease to interrogate the fifteen people who had been arrested.

It is easy to pick out white sesame seeds from black sesame seeds, but it is not so easy to pick out black stones from black sesame seeds.

Yu Jiuer said to her second uncle, "We have to filter it through a sieve first."

"Uh?" Uncle didn't understand.

"You'll know if your second uncle follows you!" Yu Jiuer said and walked straight towards the cell.

The prison in Yinshan County is very large. It was used to imprison slaves more than 20 years ago. Later, the eldest lady used it to store firewood, and most of the place was empty.

Yu Jiuer planned to interrogate the fifteen prisoners one by one.

She entered the cell and without using any instruments of torture, she simply ordered the cavalry to bring the prisoners.

She grasped the prisoner's chin and looked at his face, saying:

"Open your eyes...open your mouth...stick out your tongue!"

Then: "Reach out!"

Finally: "Take off your socks!"

Following this step, Yu Jiuer filtered the fifteen people.

My second uncle and the cavalrymen guarding the cell were all puzzled.

Coming out of the cell, Yu Jiuer said confidently, "Catch ten people. These ten people were undoubtedly sent by Concubine Xiang!"

As she spoke, she picked up a pen and wrote down the name.

Seeing her so confident, everyone was dumbfounded!

The second uncle asked first: "I didn't know you could tell faces? You can tell who the enemy is just by looking at it? If it's really so magical, you won't starve to death if you don't become a county magistrate in the future and set up a stall as a charlatan!"

Cheng An nodded blankly.

The cavalrymen were all filled with contempt, and they all felt that the county magistrate was being too hasty in interrogating the prisoners!

The more honest people immediately questioned: "It is unfair for the county magistrate to make such a judgment! After all, this is not only about innocence, but also about life!"

Yu Jiuer patiently explained, "Most of the people sent by Concubine Xiang are martial artists. Can martial artists have calluses on their hands and feet like ordinary people?"

She pointed at the names written down and analyzed them one by one: "According to the clues provided by the prisoners, this Zhang San is a farmer, but now Zhang San in the cell has no trace of mud in the cracks of his fingernails, and the cracks in his heels have not seeped into the slightest dirt. Do you think that people who work in the fields all day can be so fresh and refined?"

"Besides, this Li Jun should be a scholar, but his hands are covered with thick calluses. Anyone with a little attention and eyesight can see that he is a man who has been holding a sword for many years."

"And this Jiang Shu, a servant who was demoted to a government slave, but look at him, how can he look like a servant? His eyes are so sharp that I want to punch him right there."

......

After Yu Jiuer’s analysis, everyone suddenly understood!

Cheng An asked in a daze: "What about the remaining five who were not selected? Are they real family members?"

Yu Jiuer shook her head: "Keep the remaining five locked up first, and interrogate these ten to see what they can confess. Go to the Yulin Army and ask for a careful criminal historian to come over for support. He is the best at using torture to extract confessions."

As soon as Yu Jiuer finished speaking, a cavalryman stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I'll go and call them! This time, I'm going to make them pay for what they've done!"

Not long after, Shen Xingshi came over with a few fierce-looking jailers.

Afterwards, miserable cries, pleas for mercy, and even shouting and cursing could be heard from several separate cells.

Yu Jiuer, Second Uncle, Cheng An and the cavalrymen present all felt that they would definitely be able to make them confess this time.

However, after a day and a night, the criminal historian and the jailer came to Yu Jiuer with a dejected look on their faces, saying with a shy look on their faces: "I'm afraid these are all die-hards who would rather die than surrender. One or two days is too short to investigate. Give us a few more days, and I'll definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"No! We can't wait! Every day longer means more danger for the people! Are you really that stubborn?" Yu Jiuer tapped the table with her finger, thought for a moment, and said to the criminal historian, "I will personally conduct the trial next! You just come over and lend a hand, and don't make any noise!"

After preparing the props, Yu Jiuer didn't care whether there were real family members here.

She ordered the cavalry to tie the fifteen prisoners to chairs one by one with their hands behind their backs, and then instructed them in front of the prisoners:

"After tying them up, blindfold them, cut their hands with a knife, and find a basin to collect their blood. I will let them bleed to death!"

Then, she sprinkled some powder on the prisoners' wounds: "This way, the blood will not stop flowing until they die of exhaustion!"

In fact, this powder is a good medicine to speed up the healing of prisoners' wounds.

However, the prisoner was guilty and very nervous, and his eyes were blindfolded, so he could not tell the truth from the false, and he could only hear the frightening dripping sound.

When their wounds were almost healed, Yu Jiuer waved to signal the cavalry to change to dripping buckets. Later, the only "drip" sound was the sound of dripping water.

However, the prisoners knew nothing about this and they still believed that the sound was the sound of their blood flowing.

Yu Jiuer uses this method to conquer the prisoners' minds and make their psychological defenses collapse!

The "beeping" sound is like a death warrant. Who among you is normal and would not be afraid after hearing it?

At first, the prisoners still gritted their teeth and refused to admit it, and no one confessed.

However, there were three people who were so frightened that they burst into tears on the spot. They struggled for a long time but failed and fainted from fright.

Yu Jiuer asked the cavalry to take the three people outside and detain them in solitary confinement.

After coming out, Shen Xingshi asked curiously: "Can you find out the truth in this way? Are you kidding, sir?"

Yu Jiuer's eyes were full of cunning, and she said, "Even those who put life and death aside can't escape fear. When they hear the dripping sound, they must be extremely frightened. That's when they are most vulnerable. Let them drip for a whole day and night, and then we will interrogate them tomorrow and we will have the result!"

The criminal historian sneered, "If this trick really worked, would we still need to torture them? I have interrogated no less than 10,000 people in the prison, and I know people who are determined to die. This little trick can't shake them at all. It's a waste of time."

The jailers also shook their heads: "This can't possibly work!"

Even Yu Jiuer's loyal fans Cheng An and Second Uncle showed signs of doubt and remained silent.

Yu Jiuer shrugged: "We'll see tomorrow!"

Taking advantage of this free time, she went outside to interrogate the three people who had fainted.

The three of them turned pale with fright and slowly came to their senses.

Yu Jiuer said to the three people: "At present, you are only temporarily innocent. To be truly innocent, you must have witnesses. Therefore, I will let the cavalry take you back to your original place. The neighbors should be able to recognize you. If you are really innocent, I will compensate you!"

Two of the three cried with joy and immediately knelt down to express their gratitude.

Only one woman trembled and said, "I confess! I am not a family member. I just want to sneak into Yinshan County for fun!"

Yu Jiuer looked at her and found her to be very pretty and charming!

This person is one of the five people she did not screen out. She has been detained for two days. Could she not bear it anymore?

"Play? Who are you?"

The woman took a long time to stop shaking. She bit her lip and hesitated for a moment. She said with all her might, "Listen carefully. I am Princess Qile from Miaojiang. Your Concubine Xiang is my aunt. You'd better let me go immediately. Otherwise, you can't afford to stir up feud between the two countries!"
