The next day, based on Xiong Qitai's confession, Zeng Tai found several large boxes containing Liu Lian's public and private documents from the deepest part of the Chief Secretary's cabinet, and hurriedly delivered them to His Highness.
Zhu Zhen asked Liu Li to check it out together, and first opened the box containing Liu Lian's personal books and letters. However, he was surprised to find that not long after, countless silverfish and silverfish had spawned inside, chewing up the paper beyond recognition. .
Liu Li burst into tears immediately. With tears in her eyes, she searched for complete pieces of paper, hoping to preserve her father's relics as much as possible.
Zhu Zhen's face was also ugly. He remembered Shen Liben's confession yesterday that Xiong Qitai used wooden boards covered with silverfish and silverfish eggs to make wooden boxes to store Liu Shenzheng's relics so that he could destroy the compiled Yellow Book.
Looking at it now, Shen Liben's statement is indeed verified.
After opening another box, it was still the same. Lao Liu was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "We can't give Xiong Qitai any advantage, we have to make him taste every torture."
"Yes." Hu Quan responded softly.
Now there are only a few boxes left, with the seal saying "Yellow Book". Zhu Zhen has no hope. All his personal belongings have been destroyed, let alone Xiong Qitai's real target.
But this box needs to be opened. This is the result of more than a year of work by the senior brother. We must try our best to save it.
"Open it." Zhu Zhen ordered and glanced elsewhere. This bunch of insect officials don't know anything else, and there are so many crooked ways. When dealing with them, I learn new knowledge every day.
Zeng Tai tore off the seal, unlocked the lock with the key, and opened the lid of the box. He couldn't help but let out a sigh. "Hey, is Huangzhu okay?"
"What?" Zhu Zhen hurriedly looked back and saw that the yellow volumes neatly stacked in the box were all intact. He quickly took out a volume and opened it, and found that the paper was intact. He took out a few more volumes, and the same thing... …
"What the hell is this?" Zeng Tai was also puzzled. He opened the other two boxes and found that they were all intact.
"Could it be that the craftsmen who made the boxes also had a conscience and didn't want to join in with Xiong Qitai and the others? So these three boxes all used good materials?" Lao Liu guessed.
"No, the boxes are the same." Luo Guanzhong shook his head, touched the inner wall of the box, adjusted his glasses and said, "It's just that the bugs have been smoked to death."
As he spoke, he picked up another yellow book, sniffed it and said, "It smells like medicine."
"This is a method passed down in my family to protect books from insects." Liu Li solved everyone's doubts and said: "The thick cotton thread used to bind the account books has been soaked in insect-proof liquid. The glue used to glue the pages is also mixed with Add alum, pepper powder, and camphor powder, so you don’t have to worry about being bitten by insects or rats.”
"Elder brother has always been meticulous in his work. Xiong Qitai must have never thought that he has such a skill." Zhu Zhen sighed and said: "This method is really good. I want to tell the old man that all pornographic books and even important files in the future must be Just do it! Is that okay?”
"Okay." Liu Li naturally listened to his junior uncle.
Luo Guanzhong quickly led someone to keep the yellow book separately. At the same time, he made a preliminary inventory and reported to His Highness: "Although it is very difficult, Liu Shenzheng still did a lot of work. Not only has he completed most of the clearing, but also completed all the basic work. Next, we just need to search according to the map and clear the remaining land."
"Of course, my senior brother has been working hard for more than a year. How can it be that all the hard work has been in vain?" Lao Liu smiled and said angrily: "Damn it, almost all the hard work was in vain!"
"No, I have to go and deal with Xiong now, otherwise it will be difficult to get rid of the bad anger in my heart!" Zhu Zhen said, flicking his sleeves and going out angrily.
~~
In view of the past lessons, Xiong Qitai, Shen Liben and that horse experience, these important suspects will not be safe no matter where they are imprisoned.
He can only be locked up in his own cell and let his own guards guard and interrogate him. He is determined not to eat, drink or have sex in the hands of outsiders.
As long as one link is not in place, people will definitely take advantage of the loophole and kill people. There is no way, the current struggle situation is so cruel.
Not to mention these people committing crimes, even Brother Zhu Zhen is in an equally dangerous situation.
During the Chinese New Year, he heard from his eldest brother that when his second and third brothers were about to leave the feudal clan, his eldest cousin Li Wenzhong would personally lead troops to escort her to frighten Xiaoxiao, just in case.
The father even assigned his own cook to the third brother, not because he was afraid that the third brother would not be used to the food outside the palace, but because he was worried about the food cooked for him by outside cooks...
A case of empty seals and a case of civil uprising in Suzhou. The officials offended by the third brother were all over the world, and my father had to guard against it.
The Heavenly Family, which claims to be the only one in the world, has to be so careful. It is unbelievable to say it out loud.
But Zhu Zhen knows that these protective measures are completely necessary and have always been necessary...
Not to mention the descendants of the old Zhu family who are easily soluble in water and were almost strangled to death by the palace maid. Let’s just say that in his generation, there will be several brothers who died in unknown ways in the future.
"Alas..." Zhu Zhen sighed, feeling agitated, and couldn't help but miss Lao Qi. But water from far away could not quench his thirst, so he had to use Xiong Qitai to calm his mood first.
So he walked into the heavily guarded cell. As soon as he entered, he saw Xiong Qitai standing on the ground four feet away from the wall. His feet were spread apart and his arms were stretched forward. He was lying straight on the wall in a herringbone shape. . Use only two hands to support the wall and bear the whole body weight.
There is a sharp guillotine on his crotch and in front of his body. As long as his legs are closed or his belly is slightly forward, the skin and flesh will be torn open, or even the belly will be disemboweled.
So Xiong Qitai could only try his best to keep this posture motionless. But as time passed, his body began to sift through chaff uncontrollably.
This method seems simple, but it is a double torture for the prisoner's mental and physical strength. It is one of the eighteen harmless interrogation methods taught by Lao Liu to his subordinates, Jin Yiwei.
Unlike the third brother who likes blood plasma, Lao Liu follows the route of the 'Pure Clothes Sect', which emphasizes on not causing any injuries or breaking the skin, while torturing people to the point of ecstasy... Well, asking questions at the minimum cost. for.
At this moment, Xiong Qitai had collapsed and begged: "I beg you, let me rest for a while, I can do anything, as long as you ask..."
"We don't know what to ask you," the Jin Yiwei who was executing the execution said, "The boss just asked me to serve you well and didn't say anything else."
"That's right, I just want to deal with you." Zhu Zhen continued.
"Your Highness." All the royal guards quickly knelt down and saluted.
Only Xiong Qitai had to maintain his posture. He desperately tried to turn around, but he still couldn't see Lao Liu: "Your Highness, I forgive the offender for not being polite. The offender is willing to report and expose, but I only ask for your pleasure."
"Where is this?" Zhu Zhen said coldly: "Do you know what I like most about the Ming Dynasty?"
"where?"
"There are many types of torture, which can give a person like you, who has committed such heinous crimes, enough punishment." Zhu Zhen smiled sinisterly and said: "Don't worry, I will let you enjoy all the tortures and experience eighteen
A layer of hell.”
As he spoke, he raised his voice and said, "Let's give Xiong Fantai a 'half-step with a smile' to whet his appetite!"
