He looked at his father who was getting angry and walking back and forth in front of Cining Palace.
Queen Mother Li was stunned, and then she let out a soft cry: "Ah?"
What is going on?
Why were her two younger brothers from the Queen Mother's family also arrested?
For a while.
Empress Dowager Li was dumbfounded. She never expected that the factory guards would actually catch her, the old Li family, in arresting prostitutes. How could this be justified?
No choice.
Queen Mother Li asked helplessly: "Didn't dad go to Dongchang to ask?"
Is there a misunderstanding?
What kind of bastards are her two younger brothers? She, the queen mother, doesn't know. They are not worthy of fame.
Visiting prostitutes is not uncommon.
Now!
Li Wei then said angrily: "I went there, but I didn't even go through the door of Dongchang. The people from Dongchang said... I can let him go if he pays a fine... It's really contrary to that!"
Queen Mother Li looked helpless when she heard this.
It seems that the factory guards arrested too many people.
presumably.
There was a sea of people outside the yamen at the moment. How many people were begging grandpa and suing grandma to get people. Her father couldn't be ranked among them.
No choice.
Empress Dowager Li had no choice but to comfort her father and promised to find ways to recruit people from Dongchang, and then sent the aggrieved father away.
Seeing her father's figure disappear through the arch, Queen Mother Li felt her head started to buzz again.
Look back.
Looking at the two daughters-in-law who were equally astonished.
Queen Mother Li was confused for a moment, and then she seemed to understand something. Shen Lie was now sitting in Dongchang, pretending to be disowned.
This is clearly an attempt to rip off the emperor's relatives!
Think about this.
Empress Dowager Li's graceful face had a strange look on her face. Empress Wang and Concubine Wang Gong also figured it out. Concubine Wang Gong was from a humble background and her reaction was a little slow.
But Queen Wang couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, looking at the helpless look on the Queen Mother's dignified and graceful face.
In fact, Queen Wang really wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to.
She felt that Shen Lie was really...
So bold!
Queen Wang felt that Shen Lie must be crazy about money. In her whole life, she had never seen anyone come to the Queen Mother's house to extort money.
a long time.
Empress Dowager Li was puzzled: "Someone is coming... to deliver an oral edict from the palace announcing that Shen Lie will enter the palace."
Empress Wang finally couldn't help lowering her head, covering her mouth and burst into laughter. This chuckle made Empress Dowager Li even more embarrassed, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
same time.
Dongchang.
Shen Lie is indeed busy collecting fines.
no way.
He is really short of money now.
Two days have passed.
Shen Lie made it clear that he did not recognize his relatives and closed the gate of Dongchang.
See no one!
The commander of the Jinyi Guards, Zhang Jianxiu, has gone into hiding. Some of the royal relatives and dignitaries who have been arrested at home have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.
I was frightened for two days.
Some of the royal relatives had no choice but to hold their noses and admit it. After paying a large fine, they took away their unworthy descendants.
The remaining ones who are tough and bad-tempered in the background are still holding on.
Shen Lie was not in a hurry, and while playing chess with Li Rusong in his official hall, he ordered his team leaders to go and review it again.
"go!"
Shen Lie said calmly: "Catch a few people and put them in Tianzihao...the tiger bench and the pepper water. Just don't kill them."
I still don’t believe it, we can’t cure these iron cocks!
The men were confused.
You look at me, I look at you...
Don't know why.
There are eighteen sets of torture in Dongchang, each one is more severe than the other, but I have never heard of tiger bench or pepper water. The names don't sound very powerful.
Shen Lie smiled slightly and explained the method of water torture, which immediately stunned the experienced torturers.
"oh……"
Several bosses touched their heads and agreed: "I see, sir, you are wise. Our Dongchang also has a criminal law called nose filling. It must be similar with some minor differences."
But there were no red peppers in the Ming Dynasty in this era. Shenjiazhuang was trying to grow a small amount of red peppers, but they were expensive luxuries.
"fool!"
Shen Lie laughed and scolded angrily: "If you don't have chili pepper, just use dogwood. Besides, what's the point of filling your nose with a cannula... Do you understand water torture?"
The main reason is that the suffocating feeling of drowning is very terrifying. It is a more torturous test than the criminal law. The key is that no one will die, and no traces will be found afterwards.
It is definitely a must-have at home and is a kind of torture suitable for all ages.
Watching his subordinates suddenly realize.
Shen Lie smiled slightly: "Go."
At this time, Shen Lie was also crazy about poverty and made up his mind to pinch the dough from the toad's mouth and squeeze the oil from the cracks in the rocks.
aside.
Li Rusong's mouth was already crooked when he smiled.
"Ha ha!"
Mr. Li pointed at Shen Lie while laughing so hard that he was out of breath: "You...you are such a bad guy, you don't know where you learned these damaging moves from!"
Shen Lie laughed it off.
Leave it alone!
Although this fatigue interrogation and waterboarding method is indeed a bit cruel when used on prostitutes, it is absolutely effective and no one can resist it.
He has been driven crazy by money.
Can't care anymore.
Then Li Rusong's hearty laughter rang out in the official hall.
"Hahaha."
Mr. Li was laughing uncontrollably.
The guards came to report.
It is said that the Queen Mother issued an oral order, asking Shen Lie from a thousand households in Dongchang to go to Wanshou Mountain to meet the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother summoned.
Although Shen Lie was a little surprised, he did not dare to neglect, so he asked Li Rusong for mercy, and then hurried to Wanshou Mountain located outside the Forbidden City.
Halfway up the mountain.
It is still the gorgeous Yuanjing Temple, still in the side hall where sandalwood lingers.
After Eunuch Jiyong searched her body, Shen Lie walked quickly into the palace despite the wind and snow. When he raised his head, he saw the Queen Mother sitting in the side hall.
Take three steps and make two steps forward.
Shen Lie hurriedly paid homage to the Queen Mother: "The humble minister bows to the Queen Mother."
Empress Dowager Li looked at Shen Lie who was kneeling on one knee with a straight waist, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed on his graceful and pretty face.
Intercede for two brothers who were caught visiting prostitutes.
This matter.
Queen Mother Li felt very embarrassed and didn't know how to speak.
Then there was an awkward silence.
Shen Lie raised his head cautiously, glanced at the Queen Mother secretly, and then said softly: "I wonder why the Queen Mother recruited a minister...?"
The corners of Queen Mother Li's fair mouth raised slightly. After thinking for a while, she just said without caring about her face: "Um... are any of the people you arrested from Uncle Wu Qing's family?"
She was embarrassed to say that he was her biological brother.
He only said that he was from Uncle Wu Qing's family.
Shen Lie was confused for a while, and it took him a long time to figure it out. Isn't Uncle Wu Qing the Queen Mother's biological father?
"Why?"
Shen Lie thought about it for a while, but he really didn't remember it.
Too many people were arrested.
The two younger brothers of the Queen Mother are not ranked at all.
Shen Lie really didn't know, so he quickly apologized: "These bastards... Her Majesty, please calm down and I will take care of them when I get back!"
What happened to the sons of the father-in-law's family who went to prostitutes?
What a mistake!
Empress Dowager Li was even more embarrassed, her graceful and charming face was actually a little red, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "The royal relatives break the law and are guilty of the same crime as the common people, so I can't break your rules."
