"How's the household registration check going?" At this moment, Ge Shu Wuluan had entered the main hall of the storm room.
The prison officer hurriedly bowed forward to greet him, took the oil umbrella with great discernment, put it aside, and said respectfully: "Sir, none of the suspects are from Yan County. Their household registrations are not even close to Kyushu." .”
Brother Shu Wuluan frowned slightly and walked towards the table in the hall. He picked up the household registration booklet on the table and looked through it carefully. The prison officer followed up and wiped the chair next to the table with his sleeve. , said flatteringly: "Sir, please sit down and watch slowly!"
Seeing that his brother Shu Wuluan ignored him and just lowered his head to read the book, the prison officer closed his mouth angrily and stepped aside.
After a long time, she said in a deep voice: "Are there any deviations or omissions? The eunuch who registered the household registration will be sent in shortly. I want to ask in person."
"yes."
After looking through it, he found nothing special. Ge Shu Wuluan then closed the book and threw it on the case with a 'clack'. He glanced at the prison officer and asked, "How is the interrogation going?"
The prison officer hesitated and said: "There is still no progress."
Brother Shu Wuluan's face turned cold and he scolded: "It's been a whole day and a whole night. What on earth do you do in the den?"
The prison officer looked horrified, with some beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, "This... In my opinion, it's better for them all to be severely punished!"
Ge Shu Wuluan looked at the prison officer's cruel face and shouted angrily: "Idiot! Who dares to tell the truth after being severely punished? I'm afraid that these suspects will be dissatisfied and report their testimonies indiscriminately. Let the real murderer hidden inside go free."
The prison officer trembled and quickly praised: "Your Excellency is wise!"
"Okay, you lead the way, I'm going to personally interrogate the suspect." Before she finished speaking, she didn't allow him to delay, and she had already taken the lead out of the inner hall.
The prison officer was stunned for a moment with a horrified look on his face, and hurriedly chased him out.
The inner prison is located in the back hall of the prison room. In the past, palace officials who committed crimes were imprisoned here while awaiting trial.
As soon as he entered the inner cell, a musty and rotten smell hit his face, which was very strong in his nose. The inside was full of darkness and dampness, and he became more and more sleepy as he walked inside. The prison officer lit a torch and walked in front of Ge Shu Wuluan to guide him.
After a while, the prison officer led him to the cell door. The door pillars made of thick pig iron blocked his face.
The guards on the left and right hurriedly saluted Brother Shu Wuluan, "See Mr. Jinyihou."
The prison officer flashed his slender eyes and said: "This prison is filthy. Your Excellency, you should wait in the hall over there while the officer brings out the suspects one by one and hand them over to Your Excellency for slow interrogation." As he spoke, Pointing to the simple execution hall behind her.
Ge Shu Wuluan glanced at the prison officer, caught the hint of calculation in his eyes, and said coldly: "Open it!"
Seeing that he couldn't stop him, the prison officer opened the lock with shaking hands.
With a crash, the iron chain on the cell door was taken away, and Ge Shu Wuluan stepped lightly into the cell. The darkness inside was depressing, and the strong smell of blood rushed straight to his nose.
The jailer cleverly lit the lamp on the wall, and the flames flashed by, illuminating the surrounding area instantly.
I saw several women in tattered clothes huddled under the wall dying, all covered in blood and filth, with disheveled hair and scars all over. Their clothes were whipped in strips, revealing their bloody skin.
Seeing this, Ge Shu Wuluan turned around sharply, squinted his eyes and looked at the prison officer standing aside, his eyes were like steel knives, with a bone-scratching coldness.
The prison officer was so shocked that he was covered in cold sweat. He was frozen in place, not daring to move or even breathe out.
At this time, a palace maid struggled to crawl towards Geshu Wuluan, dragging a trail of blood behind her. It was shocking to look at her. The lower half of her body was beaten with a mace so that her flesh was rotten and her bones were broken. If she was lucky enough to survive, I am afraid that this I am paralyzed for the rest of my life.
Gong E hugged her boots, and the sticky blood on her hands immediately infected her boots, and she wailed miserably: "My lord, this slave is unjust!"
Ge Shu Wuluan looked down at the palace lady and frowned slightly, even though she was beaten like this. The prison officer was still suggesting that she use a severe punishment before. What is a severe punishment in his eyes? Does it have to be sent to the Palace of the King of Hell
In this situation, I'm afraid I can't continue the interrogation for a while, because even if I continue the interrogation, I won't be able to ask anything useful. What a delay!
The woman was still holding Ge Shu Wuluan's boots and kept wailing, the sound was very heart-wrenching.
Suddenly, another palace lady laughed miserably. Her hands were trembling and hanging on the straw on the ground. Her fingernails had been peeled off and they were dripping with blood. "Hahaha... Fuliu, Don't be stupid, what are you still begging for? Brother Shu Wuluan, I know that you have always been cruel and ruthless, and the palace servants who fall into your hands will be worse than death. Give them a break, I was the one who poisoned you! "
The palace lady's desperate eyes were full of deathly gray, and her laughter was desolate and tragic. As her sad and ferocious laughter slowly ground to a halt, several echoes followed closely.
"And I!"
"Count me in."
"Yes, we did it together..."
Even a palace lady who had her mouth cut off couldn't speak a single word, so she was nodding her head in agreement.
This scene made Brother Shu Wuluan's heart tighten, his brows were solemn, and his eyes were full of anger.
She was right. They couldn't resist the torture and began to lie about their testimony. This damn prison officer has brought the case to its most difficult point!
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth.
"Do you think that rushing to give false testimonies like this is the wisest way to get rid of it? Murder is a serious crime, and murdering a court official is even more punishable! Skinning, evisceration, torture, and beheading, which one of these do you think Can you withstand it? Even if you have suffered the death penalty, you will not be able to recover once you die. Have you ever thought about your family that your recklessness will cause your parents and relatives to suffer together?" Her words were sonorous and sharp. The tone is even more breathtaking.
After this questioning, several palace maids fell silent for an instant, with frightened and painful expressions on their faces.
A woman was hiding in the corner, her cheeks were beaten beyond recognition by bamboo splinters. She had a pair of beautiful eyes open, and spoke in a low and slow voice, as weak as a mosquito, "I... we all understand what your lord said. , but, we really can't stand it. The slaves know that they are born humble, and now they are suspected. It is not a pity to die for such a lowly life, but the slaves are flesh and blood after all... These acupuncture, bamboo sticks, and sticks Beating, scraping the skin, cutting the mouth, whatever happens to us is painful, and it would be better to die happily!"
Brother Shu Wuluan glanced around the palace maids in front of him, carefully reading every miserable face. After a long time, Yali said, "Don't worry, I hereby guarantee that no one will ask you anything from today on." Inflict torture, but you must also cooperate with my investigation and interrogation. Only by successfully closing this case can I return your innocence and give you a chance to escape the sea of suffering! Also, I want to investigate and arraign the hidden people. The real murderer among you would like to say a few words: Don’t take chances, and don’t implicate innocent people. The laws of nature are clear. No criminal can finally cross the threshold of the law and escape! You can’t escape. Because your conscience has been troubled from the moment you thought of killing, and it will follow you forever. You will always be awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night, and you are always worried that the wronged soul will come to claim your life! Give yourself a chance to atone for your sins and be freed. Well, don’t make the same mistake over and over again, because the mistake will only lead to disaster in the end! Think about it carefully.”
Several women were deeply touched by her solemn expression, and finally watched her step out of the iron prison in awe.
After leaving the prison, the rain outside had gradually stopped. Brother Shu Wuluan walked in front with his hands behind his back, walked a few steps, and slowly spoke to the people behind him, "Our great Shang Dynasty has never advocated the use of torture in prisons. Next time if someone dares to abuse torture, I will be the first to take action on you!"
The voice was as light as a puddle of pure water, but to the ears of the prison officer, it was no less than a stormy sea. His face instantly turned pale, fear filled his eyes, and he hurriedly said in a cold sweat: "I don't dare to do that anymore." !”
"In a moment, two imperial doctors will be invited to treat their injuries." She said the last sentence without stopping, and she disappeared into the long streets and palace lanes.
"yes!"
