Tian Ergen sneered and said: "Pang Yuchun, how about it? Doesn't it feel uncomfortable to nail your finger? I advise you to hand over the medicine obediently and don't ask for trouble."
Pang Yuchun sneered and said: "Tian, please stop wasting your words. Even if you nail my fingers to pieces, I won't give you the medicine."
Tian Ergeng said: "Okay, let's continue." He said to Xiao Heng: "Continue nailing."
Xiao Heng pierced the middle finger, ring finger and little finger of Pang Yuchun's right hand again. Pang Yuchun fainted from the pain.
Xiao Heng grabbed Pang Yuchun's bun and shook his head. Seeing that he didn't respond, he turned around and said to Tian Ergen: "Elder brother, he's passed out."
Tian Ergeng said: "Second Junior Brother, go get some cold water and splash him awake."
A bucket of well water had been prepared indoors for a long time, and when it was cooled down, there was a ladle floating on the water. Ding Nanyue scooped up a ladle of water and poured it on Pang Yuchun's face. With a sudden shock, Pang Yuchun woke up and kept moaning.
Tian Ergeng said: "Pang Yuchun, do you still want to try nailing your fingers again?"
Pang Yuchun said bitterly: "Tian, if you want to be punished, go ahead and I will accompany you to the end."
Tian Ergen sneered and said: "I can't tell that your bones are quite strong." He said to Xiao Heng: "Third junior brother, keep nailing."
Xiao Heng used an iron stick to pierce four fingers of Pang Yuchun's left hand. Pang Yuchun fainted again, and Ding Nanyue poured cold water on her to wake her up again.
Tian Ergeng felt that nailing Pang Yuchun's fingers had no effect on Pang Yuchun, and more severe torture was needed. He asked Ding Nanyue and Xiao Heng to prepare the tiger bench. This is a very cruel instrument of torture that destroys people's legs and knee joints.
, which makes people feel unbearable torture and pain.
The Tiger Bench has a special execution frame, which consists of a log pillar as thick as a basin and a bench. The log stands upright on the ground, and the short side of the bench seat is placed close to the log.
Ding Nanyue and Xiao Heng took Pang Yuchun off the whipping frame, removed his shoes and socks, and asked him to sit on the tiger bench. Pang Yuchun leaned against the pillar, stretched his legs, and sat on the bench. His upper body and thighs were tightly bound
He was tied to a pillar and bench, unable to move. His two ankles were tightly tied together.
Before the execution, Tian Ergen wanted to say a few more words to Pang Yuchun to persuade him, saying: "Pang Yuchun, the taste of the tiger bench is not pleasant. I advise you to hand over the medicine. As the saying goes, a person who knows the current affairs is a hero. You are a
Smart people should understand the truth behind this.
"If you don't hand over the medicine today, we won't let you go. You'd better put your tactics to the best and stop asking for trouble. We are trustworthy and will definitely fulfill our promise to you.
, it’s just a matter of time to get rid of the King of Korea. Don’t act too hastily, you can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry, this matter must be considered in the long run.”
Pang Yuchun sneered and said: "Tian Ergeng, please stop talking. Even if you say something bad, I will not give the medicine to you."
Tian Ergeng said: "It seems that you have eaten the weight and become determined. Well, I want to see whether your bones are stronger or the torture tools of Dongchang are stronger." He said to Xiao Heng: "Third Junior Brother, give it to him.
Bricks."
Xiao Heng picked up square bricks and placed them under Pang Yuchun's heels. As the height of the bricks increased, Pang Yuchun felt bursts of heartbreaking pain. He gritted his teeth and didn't want to scream. He held on for a while, but then he couldn't bear it anymore.
He stopped, screamed, and passed out.
Ding Nanyue splashed cold water on him again to wake him up. Tian Ergeng said: "Isn't the Tiger Bench uncomfortable? Are you going to hand it over this time? If you don't hand over the medicine, you may not be able to save your legs."
Pang Yuchun groaned in pain a few times, and then said: "I don't even want my life, do I still care about these two legs? If you want my legs, just take them."
Tian Ergen gritted his teeth and said "Okay!" and ordered Xiao Heng to continue adding bricks. Xiao Heng added bricks one by one. After adding, there was only a "click" sound, and Pang Yuchun's legs were broken.
He fainted from the pain again.
Tian Ergen felt that the tiger bench was no longer useful to Pang Yuchun. The tiger bench was his trump card. He was counting on the tiger bench to pry open Pang Yuchun's mouth. Unexpectedly, Pang Yuchun's bones were so hard that even the tiger bench could not be used.
It was so bad now. Tian Ergeng had no idea for a moment. He didn't know what torture instrument to use to pry Pang Yuchun's mouth open?
As the saying goes: "One person is short-term, two people are long-term, and three cobblers are more powerful than Zhuge Liang." He wanted to make a decision to Ding Nanyue and Xiao Heng, so while Pang Yuchun was unconscious, he called them and got together.
Together, they whispered: "This guy named Pang has very strong bones. Can you two pry open his mouth and make him hand over the medicine?"
Ding Nanyue said: "Try it with a soldering iron. It will taste unpleasant. If you don't believe me, I won't hand it over."
Tian Ergen feels that the pain caused by the soldering iron may not be greater than that of the tiger bench. Even the tiger bench is not easy to use and the soldering iron is choked. But now, when the patient is in urgent need of treatment, he can only treat the patient as a living horse. There is no other way.
You won’t know until you try it whether it works well or not, so there’s no harm in trying it.
So he said: "Well, take him down and put on the soldering iron."
Tian Ergen was afraid that Ding Nanyue's hands might hit Pang Yuchun's head, so he burned Pang Yuchun to death, and asked Ding Nanyue not to burn Pang Yuchun's vital parts.
Ding and Xiao untied Pang Yuchun, lifted him off the tiger bench, and tied him to the whipping rack. This torture instrument can be used for multiple purposes, and can also be used during branding.
Xiao Heng lit the charcoal brazier and put the soldering iron in. The thing looked like a fly swatter, with a square iron plate in front, connected to a ruler-long iron handle. The end of the iron handle was wrapped with a wet hand towel. It didn't work without a wet hand towel.
It's too hot to hold.
Ding Nanyue splashed Pang Yuchun awake, took off his clothes, took out the red-hot iron from the charcoal brazier with a wet towel, shook it in front of him, and said: "Pang, if you don't hand over the medicine,
, I will let you have a taste of the soldering iron. This thing is not known for its faults. If it were put on you, it would burn you to a boil. How about it? Can you hand it over?"
Pang Yuchun said: "If you don't surrender, even if you kill me, I won't surrender."
Ding Nanyue said bitterly, "I told you not to do anything." He pressed a soldering iron on Pang Yuchun's chest, causing the skin and flesh to squeak and white smoke to rise.
Pang Yuchun let out a heartbreaking scream, his head drooped, and he passed out again.
Ding Nanyue heated the soldering iron in a charcoal brazier and said to Xiao Heng, "Pour him to wake him up."
Xiao Heng poured a ladle of cold water on Pang Yuchun's head and face. Pang Yuchun was unconscious this time. He didn't wake up after a ladle of cold water. Xiao Heng poured another two ladles of cold water on her, and then Pang Yuchun woke up with a painful groan.
Ding Nanyue picked up the soldering iron for the second time and shouted angrily: "Should we hand it over?"
Pang Yuchun glared at Ding Nanyue and said bitterly: "No, no, just no."
Ding Nanyue gritted his teeth and pressed the soldering iron on Pang Yuchun's chest again. Pang Yuchun screamed again and passed out.
Ding Nanyue shouted: "Throw him awake, I must burn him to death today."
Tian Ergeng felt that the soldering iron was useless and did not want Ding Nanyue to try again. If Ding Nanyue accidentally burned Pang Yuchun to death due to a mistake in his hand, he would be in big trouble and he would not be able to explain it to Yan Shoufeng. So he said:
"Forget it, don't brand him any more, let's stop here. Put him down."
Ding Nanyue threw the soldering iron into the charcoal brazier, turned around and asked Tian Ergeng, "Elder brother, are you going to stop the trial?"
Tian Ergeng said: "We don't have any better way, let's think about it before we talk about it."
Ding and Xiao took Pang Yuchun off the whipping frame. Tian Ergeng tapped his acupuncture points, put him in a cloth bag, carried him on his shoulders, and sent him back to the secret room.
In the Zhongyi Pavilion, Yan Shoufeng and Li Jinzhong were sitting at the table playing chess. Li Jinzhong had just arrived, and this was the first game.
Yan Shoufeng held the red, and Li Jinzhong held the black. Yan Shoufeng took the lead and made the first move. Li Jinzhong jumped his horse and said: "Master Factory, we haven't played chess for a long time. I think Mr. Factory must be very busy with official duties at this time."
Right?" He wanted to probe Yan Shoufeng's mouth and find out the whereabouts of Pang Yuchun.
Yan Shoufeng is cunning and extremely cautious. Although Li Jinzhong has been serving him for more than ten years, he is still worried about Li Jinzhong and does not trust Li Jinzhong very much. He will not reveal a word about a major event like Pang Yuchun in front of Li Jinzhong.
Listening to Li Jinzhong's question, Yan Shoufeng said: "It's just busy, it's not a big deal, it's just trivial things."
Li Jinzhong saw that Yan Shoufeng was tight-lipped and did not dare to talk about this topic again for fear of arousing Yan Shoufeng's suspicion.
The two of them were playing chess, and Tian Ergeng came to Zhongyi Pavilion with a sad face and stood next to Yanshou Peak.
Yan Shoufeng glanced at Tian Ergen and saw that his expression was not normal. He guessed that he must not have received the medicine, otherwise he would not have this expression. He said, "Ergen is here, how are things going?"
Tian Ergen said frustratedly: "My child is incompetent and things are not going well."
Yan Shoufeng had no time to play chess anymore and said: "Jinzhong, I feel a little uncomfortable and want to take a rest. Let's play another day."
Li Jinzhong stood up and said, "I'll resign first since I'm humble."
Yan Shoufeng said: "Go."
Li Jinzhong felt that what Tian Ergen was doing might have something to do with Pang Yuchun, and he wanted to hide and eavesdrop on what they were saying, but he didn't dare. Yan Shoufeng was so powerful in martial arts that he couldn't hide it in front of Yan Shoufeng these two times.
After Li Jinzhong walked away, Tian Ergeng said to Yan Shoufeng: "Father, I am not good at torture. It will be difficult to pry Pang Yuchun's mouth open. I would like to ask Wei Chao for help. He may be able to find a way."
Wei Chao was well-known in Dongchang for being cruel and ruthless, and he had extensive knowledge of executions. Although he had been with Yan Shoufeng for more than twenty years, Yan Shoufeng still did not completely trust him.
In Dongchang, Yan Shoufeng didn't trust anyone except Tian Ergeng. It was a very important matter. He didn't want too many people to know about it. The more people who knew, the less safe it would be. But when things got pushed to this point, he could only
Agreeing to Tian Ergen's suggestion, he said: "Then you go find him, and be sure to remind him not to reveal a single word about this matter."
