Afternoon·Prefect’s Yamen
Huang Liangping slept here all night, but woke up a little mentally exhausted due to repeated nightmares.
The food brought in was light, which was good for the common people, but Huang Liangping was a man who had enjoyed wealth for many years, so the food was tasteless. He only ate some reluctantly and stopped eating it.
After the yamen clerk took away the things, he was flipping through books in the study. He seemed calm, but he was already a little anxious.
"I said the day before yesterday that I had contacted the Governor, but the Governor hasn't sent anyone to rescue me today?"
"Nantun Dam must have been raided overnight, right? It's been raining, so something is going to happen soon."
"Hmph, Luo Pei dares to do this to me. When I get out, he will die without a burial place. So what if he is a third-rank man? There have been more than a dozen third-rank men who have fallen in recent years."
Just as he was thinking wildly, the class leader came in. At this time, everything was quiet. Huang Liangping didn't look back, he looked at the sky casually and said, "Oh, are you done?"
"Sir, it's done. Yao Ping was killed last night. The villain said that it was caused by the prisoners fighting each other, so he has already reported it." When the squad leader said this, he thought of Yao Ping's expression of death and his last words: "Master
,Sir, hello..."
I couldn't help but shudder, and my voice couldn't help but become a little hoarse.
Huang Liangping was in an unexpected situation at this time and was very sensitive. He immediately sighed: "Hey, Yao Ping is actually a good person, but it is a pity that he is not smart and did a big bad thing."
"He didn't even think about it. Even if he wanted to kill Jia Yuan for me, could he do it openly?"
"It's just killing, but in front of the imperial envoy. What if the imperial envoy says that he not only kills Jia Yuan, but also assassinates him? Should the whole government be buried with him?"
"This idiot deserves to die!" When Huang Liangping said this, he couldn't help but blush, and his voice became a little louder. He suppressed his anger and then said: "But after all, it's a master-slave affair. I'll give him a hundred taels of silver."
After a decent burial, you can take care of it for me."
"I will never disappoint anyone who works for me."
The class leader hurriedly replied: "Yes!"
"Is there no news from the province?" Huang Liangping took a look and asked, this is the most critical question.
Just when the class leader was about to answer, there were sudden cluttered footsteps outside. Listening to the sound, more than one person came. Huang Liangping shuddered and became alert.
This situation does not look like rescuing troops.
"Well, the imperial envoy issued repeated orders and issued a constitutional order that no communication between inside and outside is allowed!" The person who came through the door was Qiu Chang, a young civil servant who was originally gentle, with a hint of a smile on his face: "There are still people who dare to defy the law and dare to collude with the prison officials - you
Do you know your guilt?"
At this time, the squad leader's face turned pale, and he kowtowed: "I'm really ignorant, sir, please forgive me."
"Excuse me? I forgive your sins, but who will forgive mine? Come on, drag me down and beat me with a big stick!" Qiu Chang was an officer following the imperial envoy. When the imperial envoy collapsed, he also had to fall heavily.
Of course there was no mercy at this time.
Several soldiers swarmed up, picked up the squad leader like a hawk catching a chicken, and rushed down. The squad leader did not dare to call for help, and suddenly remembered Yao Ping's mouth full of blood.
"Hit!" The soldiers had already ordered, and hit them hard. Even if they don't kill people, they won't be able to kill them with fifty strokes. But if they want to kill people, and hit them hard on their vital points, even an iron man can't hold on. p>
The class leader begged loudly for mercy, but something was stuffed in his mouth, which made everyone slurred. Huang Liangping held on to his courage and said, "Master Qiu, isn't this too rude?"
"Lu Lang?" Qiu Chang looked at Huang Liangping with gloomy eyes. To be honest, he didn't want to break the rules, but what the imperial envoy said was reasonable. Huang Liangping had been running Shuanghua Mansion for a long time, and there were people inside and outside him.
People, it’s so easy to think bad things.
Thinking about the news just reported, Qiu Chang's heart skipped a beat: "Huang Liangping, you have been dismissed from your post now, so don't be arrogant. Let me ask you, but you instigated the squad leader to kill people, silence them, and destroy evidence?"
Huang Liangping remained silent.
"If you don't tell me, I will naturally find a way to get you to tell me, please come and make Mr. Huang sober up..." Qiu Chang smiled grimly.
"Yes!" Four wolf-like soldiers rushed forward.
"Ah, what are you doing? I am a second-ranked Jinshi. Even if I am dismissed, I will still be an official!" When Huang Liangping saw it, he immediately shouted, and the soldiers stopped for a moment.
"Hurry up!" Qiu Chang sneered and waved his hand, and the four men no longer hesitated and rushed forward to push Huang Liangping to the ground.
On the cold ground, Huang Liangping's limbs were tightly held down. Looking at the leader, he covered up a thick and wide towel and tried to struggle, but to no avail.
Cover your face tightly with a towel that smells like dust.
Wow!
The fishy-smelling water was poured on his face.
The towel was tightly covered by someone. The water-soaked towel made Huang Liangping choke when he tried to take a breath, but he couldn't cough out. He breathed hard, and the water he sucked in was also water. His ears began to ring, and his chest started to ring.
, my throat was so burned that someone stabbed me into it with hot coals.
This is even more uncomfortable than being pushed into a bucket!
Where has Huang Liangping ever suffered such a crime?
Buckets after buckets of water were poured on the head and face. The pain was so painful that I wanted to shout and couldn't feel it. It made my whole body convulse, and my hands and feet were scratching and kicking randomly.
For a moment, Huang Liangping even felt that he was dead.
When his mind went blank and he was about to die, the wet towel that had been stuck on his face was suddenly lifted away, and the fresh and sweet air rushed into his nostrils. It was too slow for him, so he opened his mouth wide and breathed greedily.
When I finally calmed down, the anger in my heart was enough to burn out my reason.
"How dare you, how dare you!" Huang Liangping shouted with real anger. Even if he was removed from his official position by the imperial envoy, he would still be a fifth-rank official if the emperor did not issue an order!
Even if he takes another 10,000 steps back, he is still a second-ranking scholar with a great reputation. How dare they torture him?
Although a towel is used, what is the difference between this and "sticking and adding official"?
To torture yourself to extract a confession is to challenge the entire scholar-officials and the entire bureaucratic class.
Since the establishment of the Zheng Dynasty, this kind of torture has been no longer used in the previous dynasty. Unexpectedly, Luo Pei was usually gentle and gentle, but when he became an imperial envoy, his methods would be so cruel!
"As long as I can get out, this thief will be the target of thousands of people."
Huang Liangping thought bitterly. At this moment, there was a muffled groan outside, and the squad leader seemed to let out his last scream. Someone reported: "Sir, the squad leader has been beaten to death with twenty-seven sticks."
!"
"Master Huang, tell me, why are you doing this?" Qiu Chang came over with a sinister smile again: "There is news to tell you that all of your more than 20 servants have been arrested. If you don't say it, some people will.
, Under three trees, what can you ask for? You have been an official for a long time and you should know this truth. Why not just offer it."
"Bah!" Huang Liangping's arms were grabbed by someone and he couldn't break free. He stared and spat hard at Qiu Chang.
One more word and I won’t say it again.
"Stubborn." Qiu Chang raised his head and said coldly: "Torture!"
At this point, even if you are an imperial envoy, you have no way out.
