Shao Qing didn't know that the hot and sour noodles he was looking forward to were nowhere in sight. After eating and looking at the account book, Shao Qing continued to go to work. Tao Xiude patted Du Qingchen's shoulder, his eyes brightened, "When will you get busy?" ?”

"Eh..." Looking at Tao Xiude's bright eyes, Du Qingchen subconsciously wanted to hide, "Let's go tonight! I have to go see how the prisoners are doing at night."

"Great! Then you can settle the accounts for me now. It's really hard for me to hold this abacus!" Tao Xiude heaved a sigh of relief, patted the account book into Du Qingchen's arms, and handed over the settlement to Du Qingchen. In an instant, I feel a lot more free, and I can dispatch manpower, check the grain trucks, and distribute grain with peace of mind.

Du Qingchen raised his hand to catch the account book that was slapped on his chest, and said, "Can I copy it first?"

"Whatever, but why do you always have to copy it again? You did it on the road before. You have to copy it yourself. Don't you think my handwriting is not good-looking?"

"How come! It's just that my way of keeping accounts is different from the general ones, so I like to use my own way to keep accounts, so it's easier to reconcile the bills."

"All right, all right!" Tao Xiude waved his hand casually, and didn't mind.

It took Du Qingchen a day to figure out the specific situation of the relief food, copied the ledger, and then went to the cell. In the cell, Yan Xiaojiu and the others couldn't hold on any longer. Unable to break free, everyone was dripping with water.

"Anyone have something to say? Who wants to confess?"

No one made a sound, only the sound of sticks and the angry shout of the cell boss.

Du Qingchen nodded and said, "I also feel that the time is too short to wear off your toughness. It's okay. I will come again tomorrow morning. Don't worry." Du Qingchen turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait! I'm calling, let me rest, let me sleep!" One of the people Du Qingchen didn't know yelled out. Now he can hold on, but every moment of not being able to sleep is torture for him, and Du Qingchen just asked a question and was about to leave, and it would be tomorrow morning, this night would only become more and more painful, he didn't want to go on anymore, as long as he thought about the torment of this night, he couldn't hold back any longer.

Du Qingchen nodded, "Bring it out to make a statement."

Du Qingchen left the door. In the room, Yan Xiaojiu raised his head and looked at Du Qingchen blankly. He even felt double vision appeared in his eyes. It was too uncomfortable. The wound on his body was clammy and sticky, but he could no longer feel the pain of the wound. The mental pain was worse than the physical one. He never thought that just not being able to sleep could make people feel so uncomfortable!

Yan Xiaojiu opened her mouth, wanting to stop Du Qingchen, but finally closed her eyes, stopping her movement, he can't let Alian down!If he speaks out, A-Lian is not just a courtesan who seduces him to spend money, but a spy!But not long after he closed his eyes, a basin of water splashed down on his face. If he didn't open his eyes, the stick would hit him, and he would even be dragged.

Du Qingchen personally stared at the person who was brought out to make a statement, interjected and asked a few words from time to time, and finally compared it with the previous statement, and said: "If it is different from the statement of the people in front and behind, the consequences are not something you can bear. Yes, I'll keep you awake until you die."

"Don't dare, dare not." The dizzy man paralyzed on the ground shook his head again and again, "I'm telling the truth, let me sleep! I'm really sleepy."

"Take it down with Wang Xiguan."

Wang Xi stayed in the cell obediently. Although he was not able to eat, drink, and rest well, but no one tortured him anymore, he seemed quite at ease. When someone was dragged into the cell, Wang Xi was surprised and immediately He stood up and hid in the corner.

"Don't be afraid, this person has also been recruited, and he will be imprisoned here first, so that he can be interrogated together in the future." The prison chief laughed.

Wang Xi was in shock, looking at the person who was lying on the ground, and waited until the cell door was locked before leaning over and asking in a low voice, "Hey, have you been tortured? Where did you get hurt?"

The other party didn't move at all, and fell asleep directly. Wang Xi turned him over, but he didn't see any new scars on his body, it was exactly the same as when they entered!Wang Xi was puzzled, did he use poison?

At dawn the next day, Du Qingchen went there early in the morning. This time, more people were willing to confess. They couldn't sleep for such a long time. For them, every moment they experienced at this moment was torture, and each of them gradually couldn't restrain themselves from closing their eyes. Because of this, more sticks were added to them, dragged more frequently, and only half of the water in the water tank was left. It was only used to stop the prisoners from breathing and force them to wake up. The night was tragic.

Du Qingchen pulled them out one by one to make statements, but some people were already unconscious, Du Qingchen had no choice but to let him sleep with his eyes closed for a cup of tea, and when the time came, he would be submerged in the water to wake him up. Although the time was short, they really They were so sleepy that they almost fell asleep with their eyes closed. When they were forcibly woken up, each of them felt worse than death. They had never expected to enter the dark dreamland so much.

Yan Xiaojiu was completely confused, and Du Qingchen couldn't tell whether he wanted to confess or insisted. Some people's backbones are always stronger, he understands.

After Du Qingchen was busy with those who were willing to confess, he squatted in front of Yan Xiaojiu and put him in the water to wake him up. Du Qingchen said, "You are the only one left. Can you recruit me?"

"I'm recruiting! I'm recruiting! My upline is Mr. Tao, and he is a traitor!" This was Yan Xiaojiu's idea when she was awake, "The prefect has already switched to the third prince, but you don't know it!"

Du Qingchen got up and kicked him. Yan Xiaojiu, who was kicked straight, collapsed on the ground with her stomach open and mouth open, unable to utter a sound for a long time, "Xiao Jiu, did you forget who I came here with? Do you know? When you are too sleepy, your mind tends to get confused, and the methods you come up with have too many loopholes, which are useless." In front of him, saying that her upline is Tao Xiude, Yan Xiaojiu is really sleepy.

Yan Xiaojiu didn't speak, just gasped heavily, collapsed on the ground, unable to get up.

"It seems that the oiran is really good, and she deserves your protection." Du Qingchen sighed.

Yan Xiaojiu was startled, "It has nothing to do with her, I just like her, she doesn't know what I did for money, she doesn't know..."

"If you don't know, how did you get online with those people? Could it be that they knew that you were short of money out of thin air and took the money to buy you off? How did they know?"

"There are people coming and going in the brothel, and I go there a lot, so of course someone can tell!"

"That's right, then why don't you put all the blame on that oiran? Isn't it more natural? It's easier to put it on her than on Mr. Tao!"

"It has nothing to do with her..." Yan Xiaojiu lowered her head and muttered, as if there was a water bag in her head, she felt dizzy even after shaking it, Du Qingchen in front of her seemed to be two or three people, and Yan Xiaojiu couldn't see clearly .

"Do you think that she is gentle and pure, unsullied in the mud, and although she lives in a brothel, she is a rare good woman in the world?" Du Qingchen said.

"Naturally she is... She was sold by her family when she was young. She grew up in a brothel, but she didn't want to receive customers. She could only study piano, chess, calligraphy and painting hard, and try to be the most prestigious oiran. Only in this way can she choose Guest, she likes me... She only likes me, she said she is waiting for me... I want a high official and rich salary, I want money, I want to marry her..." Yan Xiaojiu muttered dazedly.

"Well, it seems that she has guarded herself like a jade for you."

"Naturally...she loves me, she only sings little songs and plays the piano to other people, she only receives me..." Yan Xiaojiu covered her head, and after a long time, she realized something, "How do you know? "

Du Qingchen shook the confession in his hand, "Because I have received three identical confessions, saying that they have a special liking for Miss A-Lian in Manchunyuan, and Miss A-Lian also guards herself like a jade for them, only accepting them alone, Waiting for them to help her redeem her, so it is a bit of a coincidence that they betrayed in order to gain power and wealth to save Miss Alian."

"You're talking nonsense!" Yan Xiaojiu's eyes almost turned red.

Du Qingchen looked at Yan Xiaojiu with pity, and said: "Xiao Jiu, you are the smartest person I know in the team. If there is no such thing as betrayal, I think you will be the team leader in a few years. In the provincial capital of Han County, the family background is clean, the family is rich, both parents have a wife and children, if it is not for Alian, why are you here?! And she lied to you, she is just a chess piece connecting you nails, you all You were tricked by her, and you are the worst, you obviously have a bright future, all ruined by this woman."

"You lied to me! Show me the confession! I don't believe it!" Yan Xiaojiu got up and wanted to grab it.

Du Qingchen immediately got up to dodge, so he wouldn't be unable to avoid a person who was seriously injured and too sleepy to get up. Du Qingchen said: "If I didn't know from the confession, how could I know Miss Alian? Xiaojiu, you You're smart, I've said it so clearly, can't you figure it out?"

"You lied to me...you lied to me..." Yan Xiaojiu lowered her head and began to cry.

"Okay! If you want to see it, I'll show it to you, but you can't hold it. You understand that I can't give you a chance to ruin your confession. Xiao Jiu, I'm so nice to you because of our acquaintance." Advice, you should cherish it." Du Qingchen opened one of them, and held it up for Yan Xiaojiu to see from a distance.

Yan Xiaojiu had a double image in front of her eyes, and after blinking fiercely several times, her eyes became clearer and she could distinguish the characters in them, but he was not very literate, and the characters were too small, so the characters he could see were not There were not many, but Yan Xiaojiu would not believe Du Qingchen's one-sided statement. He had to see the evidence.

Yan Xiaojiu managed to recognize some keywords such as Alian and Manchunyuan from the confession in Du Qingchen's hand, and she collapsed.

Only then did Du Qingchen put away the confession, walked over and said, "Xiao Jiu, did you see clearly?"

Yan Xiaojiu didn't speak, just lowered her head, and Du Qingchen said again: "I know you have deep affection and love her more than life, otherwise, you wouldn't bet your future with your family, but she was just from the beginning. I'm using you, such a woman has a vicious heart, don't you want to take revenge back? Destroy her, take revenge on her!"

Yan Xiaojiu raised her head slowly, "You really didn't lie to me..."

"Seriously, do you know what Master Shao told me? He said that those who are willing to cooperate with the confession, such as Wang Xi, can let his family members go. No trick, if you really have a hard bone, then just use it to scare the chickens and monkeys. You are the last one, do you want to be that chicken? Do you know that Master Shao is called the Jade-faced King of Hell in the capital, and he has no time yet Regardless of the matter here, but if he spares his hand..."

"I know... I've heard his name."

"That's fine. Anyway, I didn't lie to you. I'm just a restaurant owner. I came here because I was kicked out of the shelves. I have nothing to do with Shao Qing. In fact, I have a normal relationship with Mr. Tao. They are just friends, so I really feel that , You can make a confession, but if you carry it hard, you won’t be able to save your family, and if what you say can make meritorious service, maybe there is still some hope.” Du Qingchen said.

Yan Xiaojiu finally sighed heavily, and said with a wry smile, "I never thought I would be tricked so badly, okay, I'll recruit, I'm willing to recruit."

Du Qingchen stood up now, "This is the best."

Du Qingchen stretched his waist and came out of the cell when Yan Xiaojiu confides completely. Yan Xiaojiu vomited the most and the most comprehensive things. First of all, Yan Xiaojiu himself is very clever, and he can even turn around when he contacts those spies on a daily basis. See their condition.Secondly, A-Lian thought she ate Yan Xiaojiu to death, which is also true, after all, Yan Xiaojiu was indeed the strongest during the torture, she was indeed eaten to death, and was dazzled by love Very loyal.Therefore, Yan Xiaojiu knew Alian's identity, and the spies over there gave Yan Xiaojiu a relatively high status. If the group of people caught were all young people, even Alian's real identity was not clear, I just thought that A-Lian was an introduction, and everything had nothing to do with her.So Yan Xiaojiu can be regarded as a small boss at any rate, the kind who can get in touch with a little bit of secrets and know Alian's identity.

Yan Xiaojiu even made an agreement with those spies that if the food was destroyed on the mountain road, a certain official in Han County would recommend Yan Xiaojiu to be promoted to two ranks, oh, that official is also a traitor.

At the same time, Yan Xiaojiu spit out more things, such as who they belonged to, which force they belonged to, and which adult they belonged to. These were all observed by Yan Xiaojiu by observing the spies.In short, it was not in vain for Du Qingchen to spend so much time chatting with him, pretending to be sincere.

After leaving the cell, Du Qingchen looked down at the stack of confessions in his hand, smiled lightly and shook his head, "Man!"

How many times do you have to fantasize about saving Fengchen before you can have a long memory, and understand that there is no such thing as a pure and beautiful woman who is born in a dusty world, and it is impossible to be moved by their kindness to her. Those who have no room to be poor boys who still go to brothels, those in the drama are all sour book dealers, okay?

Du Qingchen went to Tao Xiude first, and Tao Xiude immediately took him to see Shao Qing, asking him to explain in front of Shao Qing. In the study, Du Qingchen explained the whole story of the future, and Shao Qing said curiously: "Don't sleep. Can it really be used to extract confessions by torture?"

Du Qingchen was vigilant in his heart, and still said: "It is true, but this method is really cruel. After all, people are born to eat, drink, and sleep. It is instinct. All desires come from this, and all pain also gathers here. It is inconspicuous, but it is indispensable, and it will make people feel miserable. In addition, people can live for 20 days without food, and seven days without drinking water, but they can only live for five days without sleep. It is cruel. Moreover, the third After a few days, people's spirits will collapse, and on the fourth day, they may go crazy, even if they get a testimony, it is also a testimony of a lunatic."

"It can drive people crazy?!" Shao Qing's eyes changed.Then this method will be difficult to apply, and the testimony of a madman will not work.

"Yes, so three days is the limit. If there is more, people will be useless." Du Qingchen said.

Shao Qing waved his hand, and instead of delving into this question, he said instead: "That Yan Xiaojiu must have vomited up? I think he is quite clever, and at this time, he still wants to push Mr. Tao and pull Mr. Tao into the water." .”

"I also saw this, and then I realized that I should use courtesy and heart attack first, and let him hate A-Lian and those who used him. Only in this way can he spit it out, even what he observed and speculated. I said it all." Du Qingchen replied.

Shao Qing nodded, "You've done a good job." Even he, with all his means, can only force out these things at most, and, after he finishes asking, he will probably be useless, how can he be like this now? Strong, just some flesh and blood?

"Thank you for your approval, sir." Du Qingchen cupped his hands.

Shao Qing turned to Tao Xiude, "Send someone to rush back to the provincial capital, and ask Taishou Tao to seal up the Manchun Courtyard. If the person escapes, they will go to the sea to catch the documents and chase them! You must live!"

"Yes!" Tao Xiude cupped his hands.

The messenger flew away from the original county and went to the provincial capital of Han County. In the provincial capital, Tao Taishou received a letter from Tao Xiude and immediately issued an order to seal up the Manchun Courtyard. Unfortunately, at this time, the Manchun Courtyard left nothing to do with it. The important person, Miss Alian, has long since disappeared, and she has been complaining of illness for several days. It can be seen that since Yan Xiaojiu and others were arrested in Shandao, people have sensed the wind and ran away.

Tao Taishou was furious, "Go chase! Go investigate! Manchun Yuan will be sent to the prison for strict interrogation, and all the people who have been in contact with Alian will be listed and inspected one by one, and I will send someone to arrest Pang Hansong! If he also runs away , I arrested his whole family and put him in prison!" Pang Hansong was the official who wanted to ensure that Yan Xiaojiu was promoted to two ranks.

When Taishou Tao got angry, he saw another letter from the family. It was Du Qingchen who asked the messenger to bring it back. Tao Taishou reminded.

Sure enough, Tao Taishou asked: "Du Qingchen, who wrote this letter from home, found out about this matter?" Tao Xiude mentioned this matter in the letter, but did not elaborate, and Tao Taishou just confirmed it again.

The messenger replied, "Yes, the second son said, I have to thank Mr. Du for this matter. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I can't find out now. Mr. Du was the first to find out about the mountain road before. Otherwise, I don't know how it will end." Woolen cloth!"

Tao Taishou pondered for a moment, then handed the family letter to the housekeeper beside him, and said: "You send it there in person, express your condolences, and see what they lack for food and clothing. You are welcome to treat them like your own home."

"Old servant understands, it will be done." The butler said with a bow.

This Du Qingchen was a smart man, he sent a letter from his family as soon as he made a contribution, and he blatantly put it together with the official document, as if he was afraid that Tao Taishou would not find out.At first glance, it seems that it is just a convenience, but when you think about it carefully, it is just to remind Tao Taishou that my family members are still in your house!I'm working hard outside, you have to help me take care of my family, don't underestimate them!

This reminder is just right, and it is also a wake-up call for him. As the housekeeper of the mansion, he must not treat this family in any way.He remembered that Du Qingchen's husband was pregnant and was in the mansion. He would tell the doctor in the mansion later to treat that brother as his own master and ask for peace pulses from time to time.
