Volume 1: Storm in the Western Regions, Chapter 88: That Night of Rain
When everyone present heard what Zhao Rang just said, everyone present except Ximen Dazhuang shuddered!
The investigation department where Yuan Mingkong works has a special torture room, and the methods in it can be considered to be various. But like what Zhao Rang just said, put a living person into a water tank, and then put the melted
The silver water was slowly poured in, and finally it was molded into one body... It was really too cruel! He couldn't understand why a wealthy family like the Zhao family could master such a method of torture.
Only Ximen Dazhuang showed a smile on his face, and added that this kind of punishment is called "asking you to enter the urn." Not only that, Ximen Dazhuang even said that he would tie the guy to a big red-hot iron pillar, front and back.
Roast in turn.
Yuan Mingkong's eyes were wide-eyed and he clenched his fists tightly, but he didn't expect that these children of aristocratic families were even more twisted and perverted than the cruel officials in the Investigation Department! He didn't know the criminal law mentioned by Zhao Rang and Ximen Dazhuang.
I heard it all from a storybook called "The Romance of the Gods".
This book was listed as a banned book by the previous dynasty, and it was not banned until the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, many of its contents have been lost and have been discontinued. For some reason, Ximen Dazhuang's father was not interested in the contents of this book.
I was extremely fascinated by the story, so I spent a lot of money to find the missing content from the folk. In the end, I pieced it all together, and then specially invited the most famous storyteller to come to my home to tell it in turn. Zhao Rang
This is how you can understand the contents of the book.
But for those who have never heard of it, it is really horrifying that the two of them suddenly proposed such a criminal law...
After listening to the choice given to him by Zhao Rang, the man who had been torn apart still gritted his teeth and held on to a bit of luck. However, after hearing what Ximen Dazhuang said, he completely collapsed and shouted for a choice.
The road Zhao gave him.
"Okay, then just say it. Speak slowly so that you can speak carefully and I can hear you clearly!"
As expected, coercing Billy to lure him and make people fearful is not conducive to the long term, but it is indeed the funniest method at this moment.
The clerk swallowed his saliva and began to talk. It turned out that he got up one night and accidentally saw Shen Liushu's figure flashing past. He felt strange in his heart, so he followed quietly to see what happened. Originally, he had no idea.
Shen Liushu should have noticed the uncultivated figure long ago, but unfortunately it was a rainy night. The downpour was mixed with thunder and lightning and strong winds. If he didn't pay special attention to watch out, it would be impossible to find someone behind him.
To say the least, as Shen Liushu was the shopkeeper of the semicolon here, he did not expect that a clerk would follow him so boldly.
At first, the clerk didn't think much about it, driven purely by curiosity. But when he followed Shen Liushu to a secluded place in the southeast corner of the semicolon, he found that Shen Liushu was braving the heavy rain, rolled up his sleeves, and started digging on the ground with a shovel.
, but he was still reading poetry.
The waiter thought that the shopkeeper had drunk too much, otherwise why would he be doing this in the middle of the night, so he shook his head and went back to sleep.
After waking up, although he still remembered the incident, he didn't take it to heart and never mentioned it to others. It wasn't until Zhao asked them to come and a series of subsequent incidents happened that the guys in the semicolon gradually understood the clues.
It turns out that my shopkeeper has done so many shameful things.
This clerk's mind was even more vivid, because he realized that the scene he saw on that rainy night was probably not that Shen Liushu had gone crazy after drinking too much, but that he wanted to hide something. After looking at the unique style of the account book , and he was even more certain of this, because Chen Liushu was digging and chanting poems that night.
By coincidence, he actually came across the verse that Shen Liushu was chanting when he was burying something, so he quietly erased it and wanted to dig it out alone in the dead of night to see what it was. Unexpectedly, Zhao Let them pay so much attention to the account books that after recording, they still have to do an accounting!
After Zhao Rang listened to the boy's account, he thought about it carefully and found that there were no obvious loopholes.
Zhao Rang ordered to the deputy shopkeeper:
"Ask the guards to bring a water tank over. It should be about the same size as him!"
When the waiter heard this, he immediately became anxious and cried:
"Mr. Zhao, I've said everything! Why do you still want to put me in a trap? I've said everything..."
Zhao Rang rolled his eyes at him and said:
"How do I know you didn't make up a story to try to trick me? I'll put you in the water tank first, and then take you to the place you mentioned and dig it up. Isn't this clear?"
This request was not too much, so the waiter did not struggle any more. But when the deputy shopkeeper lifted his arm behind his back and put him into the water tank, the waiter simply closed his eyes, as if he couldn't see, and all this happened. Nothing happened!
"Master Zhao!"
Zhao Rang took the lead and walked at the front, but was suddenly stopped by the deputy shopkeeper.
"What's wrong?"
The deputy shopkeeper slowly pointed in the opposite direction to Zhao Rang and said:
"This is the southeast side, you're going the wrong way!"
After walking to the position mentioned by the clerk, Ximen Dazhuang slapped him on the back of the head:
"Open your eyes and see clearly, he was digging a hole there!"
When the deputy shopkeeper saw Ximen Dazhuang's slap, his heart palpitated for no reason... At that time, the slap knocked the hunchback out twice! Fortunately, he restrained his force this time, otherwise the guy would probably be able to rest in peace.
"It seems like this is it..."
The waiter looked around the surrounding environment and said timidly.
"You have to watch carefully, don't give me any false impressions! In the end, if you get nothing after all the hard work, you will see how I will deal with you!"
Ximen Dazhuang's radish-thick finger dangled in front of the waiter's face frequently, as if he was about to poke it in the next second. The waiter stiffened his neck with difficulty, looked around again, and continued:
"It was raining and it was still dark... small... small..."
"Um?"
Ximen Dazhuang let out a question from his nose, and the frightened waiter quickly said:
"It's definitely under that wall, but I really can't remember the specific location. Even if you torture me in that way, I won't remember it!"
The waiter finished speaking in one breath, then his body went limp and he completely collapsed in the water tank, looking like a broken jar.
Zhao Rang opened the mouth of the jar and took a look inside. He found that although his eyes were still open, there was no trace of his energy.
"Mr. Zhao, do you want to dig?"
Zhao Rang said categorically:
"dig!"
"It's okay to dig out the entire bottom of this wall. Even if the wall is knocked down, it won't matter. At worst, we can just call someone to rebuild it tomorrow!"
Zhao Rang didn't actually think that the guy was lying. He believed that Shen Liushu must have buried something here. It's just that the time the guy mentioned was about three and a half months ago, which means that during these three and a half months, he buried something. There is still a possibility that the things here can be taken away by him again.
However, given that Shen Liushu was able to leave a letter in the account books, maybe the things buried here were also deliberately done by him.
