Chapter 337 I, Qiu Shenji, punish rape and eradicate evil, this is the greatest mercy
Shang Gong was startled by the big-faced plate thrust in front of him, and his eyes suddenly opened.
Qiu Shenji took a step back, straightened his back, and made a proud appearance: "Do you recognize who I am?"
Shang Gong's face quickly regained its composure and he said, "Of course I recognize you, you are Qiu Shenji, the son of Qiu Xinggong!"
"Your four brothers, Qiu Shenzhi, Qiu Shenfu, and Qiu Shending are all mediocre people, but you are the only one who follows Li Yuanfang closely in the inner guard. Now you are one of the best among the Wu De Guards, a sixth-grade Colonel Zhao Wu."
"Your father had many enemies, and the Qiu family has been on the decline since his death. At your age, if you can enter the fifth rank before the age of forty, you will be able to revitalize the family."
Qiu Shenji clapped his hands and praised: "I can even remember the names of my brothers who have not joined the officialdom clearly. I am worthy of being a plum blossom guard who supervises all officials."
Shang Gong said: "Since you know the capabilities of the Meihua inner guard, you should also know that I am the deputy minister appointed by the saint. You came to interrogate me. Is it His Majesty's order? Is it the Crown Prince's order? Or is it Li Yuanfang's private order?"
Qiu Shenji raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to say?"
Shang Gong sighed, the corners of his eyes drooped, and the skin on his face drooped, but he showed a bit of kindness: "What I want to say, I think Qiu Wuwei must have thought about it in the dead of night, right?"
"Among a group of Wu De guards, you seem to steal the show and everyone respects you, but that's because they regard you as a cruel official and are afraid of you!"
"Our situation is actually the same. We all have to do dirty work. Even if we are honest with each other, the consequences will often be miserable. Not to mention, His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like people like us..."
"Perhaps the prince is benevolent and we have some merit after all, so it won't matter, but what about those high-ranking sects? They won't let us go!"
"You were the one who interrogated Yang Zhirou, the minister of household affairs, Yang Zhirou, and the prince Zhanshi Yang Jiaben before, right? It's hard for the Hongnong Yang family to do anything to your majesty, and it's hard to do anything to Li Yuanfang, who was born in the Li family of Longxi. Can't he still be able to deal with you? Don't just be greedy for today.
The scenery is so beautiful, I don’t know what disaster will happen in the future!”
At the end of the sentence, Shang Gong slowly closed his eyes and recited the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, there is no end to the sea of suffering. When you turn around, you will reach the shore..."
As a Buddhist who actively donates gifts, Qiu Shenji also clasped his hands together: "My Buddha is merciful! My Buddha is merciful!"
A flash of pride suddenly flashed through Shang Gong's eyes that were covered by eyelids.
She knew something about the temperaments and hobbies of every official in the court. Ever since Li Yuanfang snatched Shangguan Wan'er, she had carefully studied the youngest fifth-rank dignitary and his closest confidants. She had long thought about it.
Various strategies are put into practice now, and sure enough...
"Snapped!!"
A whip struck her hard.
Shang Gong was caught off guard, and his old body swung back. The chain above him rattled, which mixed with her subsequent screams, breaking the tranquility in the prison.
Instead of a whip, the following strong winds made Shang Gong scream: "Qiu Wuwei! What are you doing...I am...the leader of Meihua Pavilion...a fifth-grade internal officer...ah!!"
Qiu Shenji ignored him and fought fiercely, turning Shang Gong into a spinning top.
After more than fifty lashes in a row, Shang Gong's screams suddenly stopped, his head tilted, and he was knocked unconscious.
Qiu Shenji then put down his whip and nodded slightly, quite satisfied: "She is indeed an old thief who has practiced martial arts all her life. She is still strong at such an old age. Have you recovered from the medicine?"
The last sentence was asked to the doctors who were making soup not far away. The doctors responded: "Okay!"
Qiu Shenji said happily: "Bring it here! Doctor Liu really gave me Qiu some face. With this medicine, I feel much more comfortable interrogating the prisoner and giving her medicine!"
…
I do not know how long it has been.
Shang Gong slowly woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a head poking over from the side, and what filled his field of vision was still Qiu Shenji's big face: "Are you awake?"
She was in a trance for a while, and even felt that she had just been dreaming.
But soon, the severe pain in her body reminded her that everything that had happened before was real.
However, Qiu Shenji took a step back and said with a smile: "Do you recognize who I am?"
Such repetitions were not fun. A biting chill rose from his heart, and Shang Gong's face froze: "Qiu Wuwei, why are you working so hard for Li Yuanfang?"
Qiu Shenji dug his ears: "Why bother? Why arrest people and interrogate them? Have you ever thought about the possibility that I just like this kind of work?"
Shang Gong was stunned.
Qiu Shenji said very sincerely: "I have been incompetent in literature and martial arts since I was a child. I am no different from my other brothers. If I want to be an official, I can only join the Forbidden Army and slowly endure the day."
"At that time, the inner guard was re-established. My third uncle took me into the inner guard and gave me the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. However, I kept missing out until I started arresting people..."
"I led troops to break into Jia's house in Liangzhou and captured the key witness. Liulang said that without me, the Jia's thieves in Liangzhou would have escaped."
"That was my first meritorious service. I will always remember how majestic and majestic I, Qiu Shenji, was that night. I became the nemesis of sinners, and then I got out of control!"
"You thieves are all too cunning, and you are still so stubborn even after being caught. I have to keep thinking of new interrogation methods and have a good fight with you!"
At the end of the sentence, he clasped his hands together and said with great piety: "I, Qiu Shenji, punish rapes and eradicate evil, which is the greatest mercy, Amitabha!"
Shang Gong secretly made a mistake. The other party obviously had his own ideas, and he stuck to them. He was enjoying it, his eyes rolled, and he quickly thought of new ways.
Afraid that the whip would come suddenly again, she could only speak slowly: "I am a fifth-grade internal official, and also the deputy leader of the plum blossom internal guard appointed by the saint. I just have some misunderstandings with Li Jiyi. Wan'er is talented and intelligent, and can be...
Li Jiyi thought it was her good fortune, and I am also happy for her..."
"Don't say anything disgusting, otherwise I will use too much force and beat you to death!"
Qiu Shenji interrupted directly and raised his eyebrows: "Shang Gong, who appeared in the motorcade and wanted to take away Wan'er, was indeed your substitute. Otherwise, you wouldn't have repeatedly emphasized that you are a fifth-grade internal official. I
How did I answer that time...Oh, I remember, I told you to get out!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shang Gong’s face darkened.
Qiu Shenji's tone was filled with joy: "I wanted to capture you directly and torture you, but fortunately Di Huaiying persuaded you to stop me. I didn't expect that you let the substitute show up, and even Wan'er didn't recognize you. You were really careful.
"
"As for the deputy cabinet leader of the Meihua Internal Guard, do you have an imperial edict? Can you prove your identity? If not, it's a pity. I only know the deputy cabinet leader of the Ming Dynasty. I'm afraid all the officials in the court don't know you. Maybe they do.
Why would you pretend not to know? After all, you know too much..."
Shang Gong's pupils shrank, showing a look of panic.
It's not that she didn't understand this, but when it was revealed, she still felt indescribable horror.
Qiu Shenji continued: "You carefully hide in the dark and know the preferences of all the officials in the court. But I am very curious, do you know yourself?"
"What do you like? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of being tortured?"
Shang Gong's voice deepened, and he became a bit pleading: "Qiu Wuwei, if we have something to say, we might as well talk about it..."
Qiu Shenji turned a deaf ear and went to the shelf next to him, stroking the instruments of torture on it: "The older the creature, the more afraid of death it is. This is the experience I gained from watching the execution ground for several years. Do you think it's right?"
Shang Gong shook his head subconsciously: "That's not right!"
Qiu Shenji showed his expectation: "Then I hope your next performance can change my prejudice."
…
I do not know how long it has been.
The comatose Shang Gong woke up again. She didn't dare to open her eyes, but from the breath blowing on her face, she could clearly tell that there was a face very close to her.
Then came the familiar greeting: "Are you awake?"
Shang Gong shivered all over.
Qiu Shenji in front of him was obviously disappointed: "When you were in a coma, I took the time to interrogate your confidants and listened to them describe how you tortured your subordinates with cruel methods. You can torture others, but how many times have you been tortured yourself?
, will it look like this?”
After hearing this, Shang Gong gritted his teeth and finally became furious: "I at least have a reason for punishing those guilty women. You just started the punishment without asking any questions! Qiu Shenji, you madman, no one can interrogate like you!"
Qiu Shenji laughed: "What are you saying? I interrogated you from the beginning because I thought you wouldn't be able to explain, so I didn't ask questions. As a result, you were useless and blamed me instead?"
Shang Gong couldn't bear it anymore: "Then ask! What do you want to know?"
Qiu Shenji looked at her and shook his head: "Listening to how angry you are, it's obvious that the punishment is not enough. You will lie if asked. Someone, give her medicine!"
Under the constant shaking of the chain, Shang Gong was forced to drink the decoction and screamed inside for half an hour before fainting again.
…
When he woke up for the fourth time, without Qiu Shenji's greetings, Shang Gong took the initiative and groaned: "Don't fight me yet. I have something important to say to Li Jiyi and invite him to come over."
Qiu Shenji said: "Liu Lang is arresting Ya people in Luoyang City. Those people are also your men, right? If you are willing to tell where they are hiding, I will let you wait for a long time."
Shang Gong's cloudy eyes flashed when he heard this, but he hissed: "What I want to say is a more important matter. King Poyang is planning to rebel!"
Qiu Shenji wondered: "Who is King Poyang?"
Shang Gong was stunned, and finally understood that the other party was not being modest if he claimed that he could not be a civilized person. He shouted: "He is the fifth son of the saint, the son of the former Concubine Xiao Shu. He is going to rebel in the land south of the Yangtze River. Go and investigate as soon as possible.
Once the rebels are suppressed, it will be a great achievement!"
Li Zhi had a total of eight sons. The current crown prince, Li Hong, is the fifth son. Together with Li Xian, Li Xian and Li Dan, they are the four legitimate sons.
The first four sons were born from concubines. Prince Li Sujie of Poyang was the son of Concubine Xiao Shu. He was first granted the title of King Yong. After Concubine Xiao Shu died, he was also demoted. Later, he was conferred the title of Prince of Poyang and settled in Yuanzhou.
After hearing about the rebellion, Qiu Shenji was a little moved and ordered: "Record the testimony of this old thief."
Seeing him talking, Shang Gong still walked towards the rack of torture instruments and screamed, his old voice full of panic: "This is a major event of rebellion, Qiu Shenji, are you still here?"
Qiu Shenji was puzzled at first: "Even if King Poyang really rebels, there will naturally be generals to suppress the rebellion. It is a great achievement for me to ask for the testimony!"
Then he smiled and came over with a big face: "Don't worry, I was originally going to interrogate Princess Silla, but I gave it up for you. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere..."
…
I don’t know how many times I fell into coma and how many times I woke up.
"Are you awake?"
Hearing that familiar voice, Shang Gong seamlessly connected and fainted again.
