"The general is really powerful." Wei Lin said in the dark room of the general's mansion.
This dark room was very solid, with no windows on all sides, except for one door. Under Xue Ziqin's order, there was a team of personal guards guarding the door.
Inside, the loach who had tortured Jiang Ye was bound by Xue Ziqin and thrown to the ground.
Xue Ziqin knew that this person was good at escaping, so he was more careful to guard against it.
When Wei Lin entered, he only saw that his body was stripped naked, with only a pair of trousers on his body, his legs were tied to death by hemp rope, his hands were spread, his wrists were restrained by shackles, and each hand had two fingers. , was tied to death by hemp rope, and the other end of the hemp rope was tied to the organ on the wall to ensure that even if he had the ability to reach the sky, he would not be able to escape.
Xue Ziqin couldn't help sighing when he heard Wei Lin, and couldn't help but feel a little proud: "Isn't your father also doing this, and in the end he still lost my game."
"That's it, how did you catch it?" Wei Lin would not speak for Wei Yuanting, but simply responded to what Xue Ziqin said.
Xue Ziqin walked up to the man, took off the whip from his waist, and whipped it up. The man who fainted on the spot woke up and let out a scream.
He then said slowly: "He didn't leave the palace at all, but he changed his face and followed Cen Lijiang. Qin Mu returned to the matter, Cen Lijiang wanted to win over him, and was caught by Min Qiu with him."
"Are you sure it's him?" Wei Lin asked seriously.
"Sure." Xue Ziqin said, grabbing his injured hand and saying, "Look here, obviously he chopped off his sixth finger in order not to be caught."
Wei Lin went to look at it. If it was as Xue Ziqin said, there was a wound on the side of his palm that was slightly smaller than his finger. After confirming this, Wei Lin's expression suddenly became strange.
He walked slowly to the man, not knowing whether it was because he was too noisy or because he was afraid that he would bite his tongue and commit suicide, Xue Ziqin had already stuffed his mouth with a white cloth.
"The general doesn't mind if I take revenge here, right?" Wei Lin said. When he said this, his expression was dark and smiling, and Xue Ziqin looked at him for the first time and felt that he could see the shadow of Wei Yuanting's old fox.
Xue Ziqin shrugged indifferently and said, "It doesn't matter, you can use the torture tools here as you like." As he spoke, he pointed around. This darkroom was originally used by the Xue Mansion to interrogate suspects. There were various torture tools in it.
"I know." Wei Lin replied, staring at the loach desperately.
Xue Ziqin leaned closer to his ear, so that only Wei Lin could hear the voice and said, "When the matter is over, he will know what life is better than death."
Wei Lin smiled, nodded slightly, then stretched out his hand to grab the loach's cheeks vigorously, and then pulled out the white cloth inside. Just because he acts like this, there is always nothing to stop his mouth, and the loach's mouth can't be closed.
When he received the news of coming to the Xue Mansion this time, Wei Lin did not bring many people with him. He only had two people who used it easily on weekdays, so he ordered, "Go and fetch salt and a writing brush."
"Yes."
Then Wei Lin wrapped an iron rod in a white cloth, stuffed it in the loach's mouth, and tied it behind his head, then picked up the whip and said, "I have no choice but to fight a tooth for a tooth."
Loach twisted his body desperately, his eyes were about to pop out of his sockets, and he looked at Wei Lin in extreme panic. He knew who Wei Lin was, and he was the one who broke in to save people that time. At this moment, he is here, unable to fly, knowing that he has nowhere to escape, but even if he wants to ask for mercy, the other party doesn't seem to give him any chance.
Wei Lin stopped talking nonsense with him, and whipped the loach without any hesitation in his heart. He used his power, and some of the thin parts of the flesh were even completely pulled away by the whip, and the bones were clearly visible.
Xue Ziqin watched from the side and was also shocked. He really never thought that someone like Wei Lin, who was laughing and laughing in the past, although he was brave in killing enemies on the battlefield, but also often made jokes, could be so ruthless. The loach roared as he dropped the whip, but Wei Lin didn't even pay attention to it. He continued to whip more than thirty whips until his entire arm became sore because of the excessive force, and he stopped.
And the loach has been pumped to the point of being dripping with blood and sweating profusely. Because the mouth cannot be closed, the lips and chin are full of body fluids.
"Enough?" Xue Ziqin asked.
Wei Lin threw the whip at random and said, "It's over if you kill him." After he finished speaking, the person who took the writing brush and salt was already standing beside him, and he said, "Give me a treat, and help him smear all the wounds. Above, if you let one thing go, you and him are guilty of the same crime."
"Yes!"
When the loach's throat could no longer make any sound, and the eyes were full of bloodshots, Wei Lin's men had already followed his instructions and smeared a whole jar of salt on the loach.
Xue Ziqin watched from the side and couldn't help laughing: "You still use this torture method."
"No." Wei Lin said with a pale face, "That's how he tortured Jiang Ye back then."
He saw the painful appearance of the loach when he was tortured, and he only felt that there was a cloud of turbid air in his chest, which was uncomfortable, but there was no trace of happiness. The deeper the pain the loach showed, the more uncomfortable he felt - Jiang was like this that day, tortured by others, but he didn't know it at all, and almost made Jiang also killed by the traitor.
As much pain as the loach is, Jiang also suffers as much.
If it wasn't for the overall situation, he wanted to kill this person now and then hurry up!
"Oh—" Xue Ziqin heard the words, and immediately understood, he turned to Min Qiu and said, "Go get a pen and paper, and simply record the confession."
After he finished speaking, he squatted down, stretched out his hand and slapped the loach twice on the face and said, "This general will give you a chance. If you honestly confess your master, I will save your life."
The loach was so sore that he couldn't even open his eyes completely, and when he heard Xue Ziqin's words, he didn't respond.
Xue Ziqin continued: "When this general caught you, don't forget that Cen Lijiang wanted to kill you. If it wasn't for me to stop you, you would already be dead... In this way, I can still save you. A life."
"Aren't you going to pay me a favor?"
The master-servant relationship is a bond of loyalty, but it is more about mutual benefit. It can be seen that the second prince treats him only as a slave, and it is precisely because of this that Xue Ziqin is so bewitched.
"As long as you confess it, you can still keep this life, otherwise there will only be a dead end." Xue Ziqin's voice sank.
The head of the loach swayed slightly from side to side uncontrollably, and when he finally heard this sentence, he had some other reactions. It could be seen that he was about to lose his mind due to the pain at the moment, probably because of the desire to survive the pain, he raised his head abruptly, exerted his strength, and pressed down heavily.
"Min Qiu, find someone to write it down." He said, and removed the cloth strip on the loach's mouth.
"Yes."
Then Wei Lin stepped aside, and Xue Ziqin's men hurriedly moved two chairs to place them in front of the loach. After the two sat down, Xue Ziqin began to ask questions.
"Who is your master?"
"Second, the second prince..."
"Second Prince Cen Lijiang?"
"Yes… "
The loach gas is like a gossamer, and the voice is very weak, and it sounds like it will die at any time.
"Is it you who murdered the eldest prince in Qianyu?"
"Yes… "
"Why?"
"Slave, slave... listen, obey... act."
"Whose order?"
"Second prince..."
"Are you the one who killed Lieutenant General Guo Linchong?"
"Yes… "
"Why?"
"He...he saw, saw...exit...the token..."
"Why did the second prince kill the first prince?"
"For... for... the position of the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince..."
Xue Ziqin asked very quickly, almost as soon as Loach finished answering one question, he continued to ask the next one. This is a common method used in the trial of criminals. The prisoner was tortured to the point of fainting, and then kept asking questions, giving him no time to think about how to lie.
"Min Qiu, do you remember?"
"Write it down." Min Qiu stepped forward with the rice paper full of confessions, and after showing it to Xue Ziqin, Xue Ziqin said again, "Let him draw and detain it."
"Then I'll go get the ink pad."
"What kind of ink pad do you use?" Wei Lin answered. He said, got up and took out the dagger, cut open the body tied to the loach's fingers, and then ordered the guards to release the shackles.
Wei Lin grabbed his soft hand and pressed it directly on the bloody chest.
"Ahhh-"
Without something to stop its mouth, the loach's tragic scream roared out unscrupulously. His entire hands were stained with his own blood, and Wei Lin shouted directly, "Bring it."
Min Qiu Yiyan handed in a confession, and Wei Lin grabbed his thumb and smeared it with blood.
Afterwards, when the blood was dry, Wei Lin carefully folded the confession, put it in his sleeve and said, "I took that person?"
"Take it with you." Xue Ziqin stood up indifferently, as if a little tired, and stretched out, "But it's getting late, so why not bring it into the palace now?"
"I think about it..." Xue Ziqin said very well. Now that he is bringing people into the palace, it is not easy to disturb the emperor's rest, so he said, "Then what does the general think?"
"Why don't you stay with me first." Xue Ziqin said, "In case he runs away, I will personally escort him into the palace after you have an audience with the emperor."
"Okay." Wei Lin nodded and said, "Then I'll go first."
"Back to the palace?"
"Go to Heavenly Prison." Wei Lin said and turned around.
Xue Ziqin was confused and said, "What are you doing in Heaven Prison?"
"Go to see my daughter-in-law."
"What happened to Jiang?"
"Cultivation and self-cultivation in the prison." Wei Lin said smoothly, "I'll go first, it's time for dinner."
"Yo food delivery." The two said, and walked out of the dark room side by side. Min Qiu arranged for people to continue to take good care of the loach in the back, but in fact, he pricked up his ears and listened to the content of the chat between the two of them.
Xue Ziqin smiled maliciously and said, "No one will bring me food."
"General's words are bad." Wei Lin shook his head pretending to be a literate man, and shook his forefinger in front of Xue Ziqin, "If the general wants someone to deliver meals, well, Mrs. Min used to hunt for the general a lot."
"That's his job." Xue Ziqin said indifferently.
"But the rules are set by the general himself. If people really don't want to go, you can't force it if you don't go." Wei Lin said, beckoning behind him, and the people he brought immediately followed, "No more than you. Having said that, Jiang will lose his temper later."
"Go, go, come to the General's Mansion and tell me if you have any news, Qin Mu is back, and the decisive battle is not far away."
"it is good."
