Seeing Cui Shouye's hands tied up with chains, Li Sichong next to him was stunned at first, and then actually tried to stop him: "Hey, isn't this right? Why did you tie up Cui Shilang?"
Although Li Sichong hated Cui Shouye, he also knew that the Minister of Justice was one of the people who supported him in leaving the inner guard safely. After all, both sides would lose.
Cui Shouye had been silent and seemed to have lost the ability to speak. But after hearing these words, he couldn't help it and cursed angrily: "Idiot! If you hadn't said everything, how could I have fallen to this point?
?”
Even at this moment, Cui Shouye didn't feel there was anything wrong with his previous cruel style, but Li Sichong was angry: "Old man, you are the leader of the inner guard pavilion, and you are actually hung in prison. What qualifications do you have to criticize me?"
!”
The two got into a fight.
Then Cui Shouye couldn't scold Li Sichong, who spoke extremely hurtfully.
If it weren't for his arms being hung up, the furious Cui Shouye would have wanted to pounce on him and give this dude a hard kick.
Qiu Shenji smiled at the side and explained: "So that Li Baolang will know that Cui Shouye is no longer the leader of the cabinet, and he is not even the minister of the Ministry of Punishment..."
Li Sichong was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "That's right! This old guy still wants to execute me to force me to confess, but now I'm going to force him to confess!"
Cui Shouye was so angry that he trembled and shouted: "Where is Li Yuanfang? He has always wanted to investigate the Jiangnan case, and now he finally got his wish, but he is afraid of coming to see me! I am his superior! Superior!!"
"Di Wuwei has gained something. The workshop for refining cloud pills has been found. Liulang went there!"
Qiu Shenji tied up Cui Shouye, pulled the chains, and hung the old man upright. He clapped his hands and said, "Liu Lang also said, leave this interrogation to me, that's enough!"
These are indeed Li Yan's original words.
Hanging the three murderers neatly, the case is actually solved, and the rest is a complete confession.
It is enough to leave it to the talented Qiu Shenji.
Sure enough, Qiu Shenji immediately got into work mode.
He walked around Cui Shouye a few times, then suddenly came up to him, almost face to face, and asked: "Do you think the truth can be obtained by extorting a confession through execution?"
Cui Shouye's pupils suddenly shrank.
This question is difficult to answer.
If you agree, then Qiu Shenji will be sentenced to death. You said you can?
If not, then Cui Shouye had been using torture to investigate cases before. Didn't he already know that it would lead to unjust, false and wrongful convictions?
Of course, you can be more ruthless and answer "maybe".
But Cui Shouye looked at Qiu Shenji in front of him.
If Li Yuanfang comes to interrogate him in person, then that's it. Why does this mean person in front of him have such a bad heart!
He snorted arrogantly and looked away.
Qiu Shenji asked again: "Do you think the saint will return your internal and external official positions to you if he takes them away?"
Cui Shouye's body trembled violently.
Of course it's impossible to return it.
Li Zhi was not Li Shimin. In the second year of Zhenguan, Empress Changsun accepted a concubine for Li Shimin. She originally chose the daughter of a minister, but unexpectedly she already had an oral engagement with another family. Li Shimin was ready to give up, but Fang Xuanling and others expressed opposition, and the emperor canonized her.
The edict was sent out, how could it be taken back, but Li Shimin finally took it back by not breaking the marriage contract.
This was something that undermined the emperor's authority. Li Shimin didn't care, but Li Zhi valued the imperial power very much and would never take his life back.
Cui Shouye was doomed from the moment he was dismissed from office and sent to prison.
Even if he is really innocent, he still has to find out the charges and make mistakes.
Besides, his sins are so numerous that there is no need to make them up.
Qiu Shenji took a few steps back and took out the accusations: "Come, let's sort it out and see how many crimes you, the Minister of Punishment, have committed during your reign!"
Cui Shouye didn't want to listen at first, but gradually he started to listen, and then he found that he couldn't remember many things.
When Qiu Shenji finished reciting it for half an hour, he finally sighed and said, "To find out so clearly, Doulu Qinwang really worked hard and worked hard!"
Qiu Shenji frowned: "Old thief, are you really so shameless and have no remorse for your crimes? Do you still have any justice in your heart?"
Cui Shouye stopped pretending and said: "Justice? Justice? Haha, there are so many innocent people in the whole court, why should I be ashamed?"
Qiu Shenji sneered and did not continue to ask based on this topic. Instead, he walked to the rack of torture instruments on the side and gently touched each torture instrument with his fingers: "You personally ordered people to move in these torture instruments, right? Have you ever thought about it?
One day, they will be used on you!"
Cui Shouye's cheek muscles twitched hard, and his face suddenly became ferocious.
Even if he fell to this point, his final dignity would not allow him to bow to Qiu Shenji: "Have you been with Li Yuanfang for a long time, and you also like this soft interrogation method? Come on! What nonsense are you talking about! How can I be afraid of you...
…Ouch!!”
It turns out that you are afraid.
Li Sichong originally came to see the two having a good chat, but seeing Qiu Shenji following Li Yan all the time, he thought he was also a reasonable player.
As a result, he was caught off guard and Qiu Shenji whipped down the whip with great force. There was a sound of breaking through the air, and Cui Shouye's left ear was whipped out.
If you use your hands, you will become disabled!
"ah--!!"
The gushing blood splashed onto his face, and Li Sichong screamed in fright, which mixed with Cui Shouye's miserable howl, awakening Dou Dechengdu at the end, and started to take medicine again.
Qiu Shenji whipped his whip repeatedly, and the ferocious look on his face completely overwhelmed Cui Shouye: "Old thief, you have done all the bad things, and now you act like a hero?"
Cui Shouye struggled and screamed: "How dare you... aw... I will offend the superiors below... and the superiors in the future... aw aws... I will all avoid you..."
Qiu Shenji reduced his strength from the second lash. After ten lashes, he judged how much punishment this guy could bear, and immediately said to his subordinates: "Go to the Imperial Medical Office and ask for a medical assistant."
The inspector under him left, and he personally stepped forward to bandage Cui Shouye to stop the bleeding. His expression became gentle again: "It sounds reasonable, so what should I do according to Shangguan Cui's wishes?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing that the whip finally stopped, Cui Shouye shivered in pain, half-closed his eyes, and his other ear was buzzing.
He still wanted to be tough, but in the end he didn't dare. He said in a trembling voice: "I have no luck anymore. Give me a break. I admit all the crimes..."
"It's just ten lashes, you admit it now?"
Qiu Shenji sneered and patted the case file: "The unjust deaths in these cases were all made by you. You confessed to things you never did. If it were you, you would just want to be happy. You are really cunning... Tsk, I
I can’t stand it!”
He took the cloth and carefully blocked Cui Shouye's mouth to prevent him from biting off his tongue if it was too painful later. Then he took a clamping stick and clamped Cui Shouye's hands. After thinking about it, he took off his right hand.
, waving.
The two patrolmen under his command stepped forward and began to pull desperately to both sides.
"Woo-wu-wu-"
Hearing the whimpers of the torturers next to him, Li Sichong was so frightened that he closed his eyes, secretly glad that he was not being tortured.
Snapped!!
The whip struck suddenly!
Qiu Shenji whipped Li Sichong hard, and then said slowly: "Sorry, I hit the wrong guy!"
"Ah-ah-!!"
With the violent shaking of the chain, Li Sichong was whipped and struggled wildly. His feet were lifted off the ground in pain and his waist arched up: "Aye, save me! Yuan Fang, save me!"
Cui Shouye sobbed and howled miserably: "You still... expect... Li Yuanfang... ugh!!"
After Qiu Shenji whipped Li Sichong several times for no apparent reason, he returned to Cui Shouye to get another instrument of torture.
After taking it, he heard crying. Qiu Shenji came to Li Sichong and patted his face gently: "We are internal guards. We enforce the law impartially. What we pursue is justice. How about you don't cry?"
Li Sichong was used to being pampered and pampered. Wherever he could stop, he cried even louder.
Qiu Shenji sighed and started to pick up the whip again: "I get upset when you cry. Don't blame me. Just bear with it!"
When the whip came down like raindrops, Li Sichong stopped crying and began to scream: "Don't hit me... I won't cry anymore... I will listen to whatever you say... ahh!!"
Qiu Shenji began to order his men again: "Go to the Imperial Medical Office and ask for a medical assistant to bring all the plasters. You go get a bucket of salt water and some pepper."
Then keep playing.
When Li Sichong was knocked unconscious, Qiu Shenji turned around with a very peaceful expression.
Cui Shouye finally showed fear in his eyes.
If Cui Shouye is the torture style, Li Yan is the theory style, and Qiu Shenji is the mad dog style.
One second he was having a good chat with the prisoner, and the next second he suddenly started beating him, and then started chatting while beating him, or chatting while beating him.
Under this style, even a ferocious fugitive from the rivers and lakes would not be able to survive for a day if he fell into Qiu Shenji's hands.
Not to mention Li Sichong, Cui Shouye didn't even last for half an hour.
He was not as strong as he imagined, and soon he began to cry and act ugly.
Waiting for the cloth to be taken out, his first reaction was not to bite his tongue, but to whimper like Li Sichong: "Stop fighting...whatever you want me to say...I will say it..."
Qiu Shenji was unhappy: "You mean, I surrendered to the trick?"
Stuff it, chat and fight at the same time.
A quarter of an hour later, Cui Shouye got another chance to speak: "I tell the truth... whatever truth you want... I know many... secrets of the courtiers..."
Qiu Shenji shook his head: "Do you think everyone is you? You are always implicated. Liulang said that the scope of this case cannot be wider. Put away those cunning thoughts of yours!"
Keep plugging, keep talking, keep hitting.
This time the beating was particularly long because the medical assistant from the Imperial Medical Office arrived and began to apply ointment externally.
Qiu Shenji began to grind pepper, laughing while grinding.
"woo woo woo woo!!"
At this moment, Cui Shouye finally understood the experience of the prisoner who was tortured by him to extract a confession, and his psychological defense completely collapsed: "Give me a pleasure... Please give me a pleasure...!"
Qiu Shenji came over, grabbing his loose hair with one hand, and opening his eyelids with the other hand, looking at Li Sichong who had fainted next to him: "Understood?"
Cui Shouye nodded repeatedly: "I will explain...I will explain everything..."
Qiu Shenji patted the hand that was left intact to Cui Shouye, and handed over the pen: "Write down all the details of your participation in the Jiangnan murder case. Think about it clearly before writing. When Li Sichong wakes up, I will knock you out.
Go over and ask him to write it again~"
Cui Shouye held up the pen tremblingly, and suddenly burst into tears: "You should be reasonable... You should be reasonable..."
…
An hour later.
Qiu Shenji walked out of the inner prison, twisted his neck, clapped the two perfectly matched confessions in his hands, and the light of justice flashed between his brows:
"The murder case in Jiangnan, a case that has been pending for six years, and the injustice of the villagers, finally came to light and the truth was revealed!"
