Qiu Wu shook his head and said: "The envoys who have returned to the Imperial City have not found any of their accomplices yet. Let the envoys of the Imperial City decide when to arrest them."
Zhang Chu wanted to order the arrest now, but he looked up at the sky and saw that it was noon. If they still had comrades to contact them, the interrogation would be twice the result with half the effort.
Putting down his excitement, Zhang Chu said: "They are already the turtle in the urn. Don't worry. I'll wait for him for two hours and see if they have any accomplices."
"yes."
Qiu Wu solemnly agreed, and then went to watch with other soldiers.
After waiting like this for two hours, no one came out or came looking for him, so Zhang Chu stopped waiting, waved his hand and said, "Break down the door."
"yes."
The men all responded in unison, then split up, smashing down the front and back doors of the house at the same time, and then rushed in swarm.
Such a big move by the Imperial City Division in the daytime naturally caused panic among the surrounding people. They were so frightened that they fled far away. Some even thought that their treasonous accomplices were committing crimes and ran to the Lin'an government office.
Report.
However, it was said that the Imperial City Suluo soldiers were attacking a house. When Yang Tong and Yang Jing heard the noise, they were shocked and looked at each other. Then they hurriedly raised their knives and came out to check.
However, when hundreds of people came into view, they were immediately dumbfounded. Their whereabouts were exposed. If the other party had fewer people, they could still fight, but now there are hundreds of people on the other side, but there is no chance to even fight.
Yang Jing was the first to recover from his shock. He said to Yang Tong: "Tong'er, the matter has come to this. Death is the only way to escape. If you are captured by them, you will not be able to survive or die. This will be the fate of Zhou Cang."
After saying that, Yang Jing held the knife across his throat, and without even a moment's hesitation, he wiped his neck directly.
"puff"
Yang Jing's blood spattered on Yang Tong's face, and the warm blood immediately made Yang Tong freeze on the spot, completely unresponsive.
"Keep him alive and take it."
Before Yang Tong could react, a group of soldiers swarmed forward, grabbed Yang Tong's hands and feet, and pinned him to the ground, unable to move.
Then the policemen searched in various rooms of the house, but no one else was found. Zhang Chu was very lucky, stepped on Yang Tong's face, and said with a disdainful smile: "Fortunately, we started early. If you wiped your neck too, our family will be in trouble."
Isn’t it just a waste of joy?”
Yang Tong naturally felt extremely humiliated when Zhang Chu stepped on him like this. He also saw Zhang Chu holding Fuchen in his hand and his face was pale and beardless. He knew that Zhang Chu was a eunuch.
Yang Tong loudly scolded Zhang Chu: "You eunuch, you don't have ancestors or descendants. What are you still doing? If you have the guts, kill me. I, Yang Tong, am not afraid of you."
"Hahaha,,,"
When Zhang Chu heard the word "eunuch", his face instinctively twitched a few times, and when he looked at Yang Tong, his face became even colder.
As eunuchs, the word "eunuch" is a humiliation that they will never be able to face in their lives. These two words are also a mountain that they will never be able to climb over.
Zhang Chu laughed angrily and said coldly: "Very good, I hope you can still be so stubborn when you get to the Imperial City Prison and take you away."
Returning to the Imperial City Division, Zhang Chu immediately ordered people to chain Yang Tong's hands, feet, and neck, and then interrogated him personally.
Zhang Chu said coldly: "I heard that Zhou Cang survived three rounds of torture, and only wanted to confess when he was in Lingchi. Although our family hates him very much, we have to admire his strong bones, but I don't know how strong your bones are.
How hard it is, someone will come and torture you."
After saying that, Zhang Chu didn't ask any questions at all, and just ordered people to be tortured. The first thing Yang Tong wanted to test was the most cruel and cruel punishment method of the Imperial City Division, called "rat digging holes."
Rat burrowing, as the name suggests, requires the use of rats, but this hole making is a bit particular. You need to use a hollow bamboo tube, and then insert the bamboo tube into the prisoner's butt, and finally let the rat run in through the bamboo tube.
I have to say that the person who designed this criminal law is too sick and cruel and deserves to be sent to the eighteenth level of hell. However, even so, everyone has to admire the cruelty of this criminal law.
But Zhang Chu directly used his ultimate move as soon as he came up, without any thought. It can be seen how much Yang Tong blurted out the word "eunuch", which hurt Zhang Chu's heart.
Zhang Chu held the bamboo pipe in his hand and described the process of the criminal method of rat burrowing with a funny look on his face. When Yang Tong heard this, his scalp suddenly felt numb.
Even though Yang Tong was well-informed and had not been to prison once or twice, such a horrific punishment was like falling into the abyss of hell. He did not even need to experience the pain. Just imagining it was enough to make him collapse.
At this time, seeing several soldiers coming up to prepare for torture, Yang Tong didn't even have the courage to stand up and said directly: "I'll attack, I'll attack, I'll attack them all."
Zhang Chu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Yang Tong agreed to confess before he was tortured. This really made him feel like a fist hitting cotton.
Zhang Chu originally wanted to ignore him and let Yang Tong suffer the pain first, but then he thought about it, this criminal law is very dangerous, the prisoner can die at any time, it doesn't matter if the prisoner dies, but if he dies without asking for anything, this is
Not worth it.
So Zhang Chu ordered his people to suspend the execution and asked sternly: "Tell me, who are you and who is the mastermind behind you? If you dare to lie even one word, I, the Imperial City Secretary, have a hundred ways to make you regret your birth."
Yang Tong couldn't bear it anymore, so how could he lie to others? Now, for him, since he couldn't bear it, it would be better to break the jar. Maybe he was lucky and could survive. No matter what happened, he wouldn't die so miserably.
.
So Yang Tong came clean and said: "This time we were ordered by my mistress Yang Miaozhen to create a conspiracy. The purpose was not to assassinate your emperor, but to get rid of Zhao Shanxiang, Zhao Fan, Zhao Kui and others.
In order to avenge the murder of our lord Li Quan, and also to cause a bloody storm in your court, but I did not expect that your emperor directly executed Zhou Cang Lingchi and ordered the execution, which made it impossible for us to do any subsequent actions. "
Zhang Chu suddenly realized that all the mysteries were solved. It turned out that it was Yang Miaozhen who was behind the scenes.
Zhang Chu asked again: "How did Zhou Cang get Zhao Shanxiang's gold ingot, and how did he identify Zhao Shanxiang himself through his voice accurately?"
Yang Tong smiled and said: "These are all small things. They seem difficult, but they are actually easy to do. The gold ingot is because Zhao Shanxiang's second son opened a bank. As long as you do more business with him and exchange gold ingots with him, that's it.
A matter of words.
As for Zhou Cang being able to distinguish Zhao Shanxiang’s voice, that’s because Zhao Shanxiang was having a drink in a restaurant, and Zhou Cang was hiding not far from him. He could tell everything about his voice and appearance after just one look and listen.”
