There are not many prisoners in Xihu Tianlao Prison, but the prisoners in it are not simple. For hundreds of years, no prisoner in Tianlao has died of suicide, because...
People who commit suicide cannot bear the severe torture to extract a confession. They will tell the secret when the confession is extracted, and then be executed.
Another thing is, if the prisoners in Tianjian really wanted to commit suicide, they would have died long ago after being imprisoned for more than ten or twenty years, so why suffer for more than ten years in vain.
Zhu Da's incident attracted the attention of An Tong, who was in charge of the Tianlao. An Tong immediately took Wu Zuo to the Tianlao.
Zhu Da was already dead, and his body was cold and stiff. Wu Zuo deduced the time of his death and was sure that he had suffered great torture before his death, which was mental.
Of course, there are also physical injuries. There is a strangulation mark on Zhu Da's neck. The strangulation mark should be an object such as a thin wire, and there will be no such thing in the sky prison.
Wu Zuo stood in the sky prison and conducted an autopsy. The results of the examination were not concealed from Baoren, and all the prisoners in the sky prison heard it.
This was An Tong's intention. When Wu Zuo revealed the autopsy results, he began to pay attention to the people in the prison, and the one he focused on was Qin Jiyan, or Young Master Ji Twelve.
However, even the Northern Qi spy chief couldn't see anything, so what could An Tong see on Qin Jiyan's face?
Qin Jiyan acted as if nothing had happened, standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the only window in the cell, as if he desperately longed for freedom.
An Tong turned away disdainfully and looked at the woman in cell No. 4. The woman seemed to be greatly frightened, her face was pale, her breakfast was placed in the corner, and she didn't eat a bite.
An Tong looked at the cell opposite again, where the Northern Qi spy chief was imprisoned. An Tong did not think that he had the possibility of killing someone. No one knew better than An Tong how bad the Northern Qi spy chief's health was.
Four steel nails locked his body, and he could not move his limbs at all. Looking forward, An Tong looked at no one like a suspect.
However, An Tong did not believe that what he saw was the truth. He asked the officials to carry Zhu Da's body away, and then took away the prisoners in the sky prison one by one for questioning.
Starting from Cell No. 1, the questions were asked one by one, until it was Qin Jiyan's turn as night fell.
The sky prison is extremely guarded against prisoners. In order to prevent the prisoners from escaping, they will put shackles on the prisoners when they are taken out of the sky prison. A shackle weighing more than a hundred kilograms will not kill you, but it will prevent you from running away.
The hands and limbs were locked and it was so heavy that even Qin Jiyan found every step he took difficult.
Qin Jiyan was taken to the torture room, and An Tong's first words were: "Kneel down!"
kneel?
This word rarely appears in Qin Jiyan's world, because he rarely kneels to others and only has others kneel to him.
"Why are you still standing there? Kneel down quickly. Do you think you are Da Qin? Do you think this is the Ji family? This is Xihu Tianlao. Kneel down!" An Yi's face was fierce and terrifying.
Qin Jiyan was not afraid at all, he just asked: "Sir, are you sure you want me to kneel down?"
"What? You think you are the emperor's grandson Gui Wei? I can't bear your kneeling, general?" An Tong did not miss any opportunity to defraud Qin Jiyan's identity. At the same time, he also secretly wondered why the emperor didn't use this method to force him.
Where is this twelfth young master?
If the other party was really the eldest grandson of Emperor Qin, he would definitely not be insulted by this.
But Commander An had forgotten that although the Ji family were businessmen, they brought countless benefits to Xihu every year. One-third of the Xihu treasury was supported by the taxes paid by the Ji family.
By humiliating the twelve young men of the Ji family because of a specious and completely unsubstantiated suspicion, the Ji family will definitely think that the Xihu royal family intends to suppress them. If the Ji family therefore shifts their focus to Northern Qi and Da Qin, and attacks the Western
Hu Lai is a loss.
The most important thing is that Emperor Xihu didn't think he needed to be tortured. The person was in his hands, and he could confirm the person's identity by just asking someone to go to Da Qin. Why do he do things that offend people but not get him?
If it is really the eldest grandson of Emperor Qin, and they repeatedly humiliate each other, they may lead Da Qin to send troops to Xihu. Now Da Qin is strong and Xihu is weak. Emperor Xihu wants to use the eldest grandson of Emperor Qin in exchange for benefits, but he does not want to offend Da Qin.
Qin Jiyan understands the truth here, but An Tong does not. He only wants to make meritorious deeds, to find out Qin Jiyan's identity, or to force Qin Jiyan to admit that he is the eldest grandson of Emperor Qin.
But what if Qin Jiyan admits that he is the eldest grandson of Emperor Qin?
Emperor Xihu would not believe it, and he would still go to Da Qin to collect evidence. Otherwise, if anyone yells that I am the eldest grandson of the Emperor of Qin, and Emperor Xihu believes it, then he will be busy to death.
Qin Jiyan pretended not to hear the meaning of An Tong's words. He looked at An Tong and suddenly sneered, "Although I beat the tenth prince, the reason why I beat the tenth prince will be known as soon as I find out. Because of this matter, you will
I was imprisoned in the sky jail, and a confession was forced from me. Don’t you think that the Ji family, a merchant, can only accept defeat and not dare to resist even if it is bullied to this point? "
Qin Jiyan is not from the Ji family, so he has no burden to be arrogant. Anyway, it is the Ji family that takes the blame.
"Sir, you can try to force me to kneel down today, or you can try to torture me. But my lord, you'd better pray that I die here, or that the Ji family will never remember me, otherwise... the day I go out, you will be the lord
The end of the world." Qin Jiyan raised his forehead slightly, looking arrogant, like a spoiled and arrogant young master.
"Are you threatening me?" An Tong clenched his fingers into fists and made a clicking sound.
"Don't dare." Qin Jiyan raised his head arrogantly, "If the third princess knew that I was tortured here, for the sake of brother Zino, the third princess would not let you go."
While expressing dissatisfaction and threatening words at the same time, An Tong was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, but...
He doesn't dare!
If the person in front of him is really the eldest grandson of the Emperor of Qin, he cannot kill him, let alone torture him. Otherwise, if the eldest grandson of the Emperor of Qin regains his freedom in the future, he will be the first to be dealt with.
If the person in front of him is only the twelfth young man of the Ji family, he cannot kill him. Otherwise, if this makes the young master of the Ji family resent the third princess, the prince, queen and others will definitely tear him apart for the sake of the third princess.
Only now did An Tong understand why the emperor didn't order the young man to be tortured. It turned out that it wasn't because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.
This feeling is so suffocating.
"Come here, show Mr. Ji his seat." An Tong felt as sick as if he had swallowed a fly.
"Sir, are you sure I can sit like this?" Qin Jiyan raised the shackles in his hands, typical of how he still behaves when he gets an advantage.
"Untie it!" An Tong had no choice but to be a good person and do it to the end.
"Thank you, sir. It's a pity that I only have one seal that represents my identity. Otherwise, I would give you a small gift as a thank you for taking care of me." One seal can withdraw fifty thousand taels of silver, but Qin Jiyan gives it away as he says.
An Tong was doubtful that he was not from Ji's family.
Besides the extremely wealthy Ji family, who else can raise a young man who spends money like water?
