Ma Yunshan closed his eyes tightly, and in addition to grief, there was endless regret in his heart.
The reason why I suffer is because I have lost the fight.
But the people of the clan suffered disaster, and he seemed to be the eternal sinner of the entire family.
"Heal his wounds, don't hurt him. We must let him live until the day when the court executes him in public. He went against the court and embezzled the court's assets. The impact of this case is not small. We must let the people all over the world watch him being quartered.
." After glancing at Du Shaoqin, Xiao Chen ordered softly.
"Don't worry about this, destroying and repairing at the same time is my strength." Du Shaoqin chuckled.
"Don't just take care of Ma Tongzhi, but also take good care of that Qianhu named Zhang Jin. If he doesn't bow to the emperor when he meets him, who can give him the heart and courage of a leopard?"
"I'll do it. I haven't done anything yet." Duan Tianming said hurriedly.
"Today, the Ministry of Punishment has almost completely traced Ma Yunshan's accomplices. The Jin Yiwei and some officials of the imperial court will be arrested and brought to justice before dark. Just work hard and entertain them well in the evening."
"Approximately how many people are there? Do you want me to recruit some brothers from our prison guards? In recent days, several brothers have worshiped me as their disciples, but they have never had the opportunity to practice." Looking at Xiao Chen, Du Shaoqin's eyes flashed.
"People number one hundred and eighty."
"Then I'll notify the prison guard right away." Du Shaoqin turned around excitedly and left.
"How many apprentices are there?" Xiao Chen said with great dissatisfaction, "The prison officer just leaves some people who need to be guarded, and everyone else comes over. This is a rare opportunity for the brothers to let go."
"Okay, okay." Du Shaoqin rubbed his hands, as if he was about to eat a big meal, and he was extremely excited.
Ma Yunshan, who was next to him, listened to Xiao Chen's arrangement and bit his mouth vigorously a few times.
He heard that people can bite their tongues and kill themselves.
Rather than being tortured like this, it would be better to die.
I also heard that Xiao Chen planned to make himself a model case in the court and use the death penalty of quartering his body on five horses to scare the officials.
He had failed and was unable to resist, but the hatred in his heart did not disappear because of the other party's torture.
Perhaps, he had already given in before the torture, but the hatred in his heart was getting stronger and stronger.
I am powerless to resist, but I will never let you succeed.
However, he has never studied in detail where he can commit suicide by biting his tongue. When he was in the Ministry of Rites, he dealt with documents or materials all day long, so no one could tell him the secret to committing suicide by biting his tongue.
In addition, the front teeth have been pulled out, so I can't bite the tip of my tongue at all.
Du Shaoqin, opposite Xiao Chen, was about to leave.
Suddenly, he noticed that Ma Yunshan's mouth was tightly closed and his jaw was moving left and right. Without saying a word, he rushed over with a single stride.
His left hand quickly got stuck on the opponent's jaw, and with a hard squeeze, Ma Yunshan's mouth was pinched open.
At the same time, he raised his right hand and slapped Ma Yunshan on the forehead with two loud slaps.
After being tortured for a day, Ma Yunshan was already extremely weak and could not withstand Du Shaoqin's furious ear-scratching.
When his head tilted, he fainted.
Looking at the confused looks in Xiao Chen and Duan Tianming's eyes, Du Shaoqin let go of Ma Yunshan's jaw and explained, "This guy is ready to bite his tongue and commit suicide."
Xiao Chen's face gradually turned cold: "Although his front teeth have been pulled out and he can't bite his tongue to kill himself, this kind of behavior seems to be very uncooperative with our Dongchang. Using this method to provoke me has really reached his point.
The purpose was to make me feel a little bad all of a sudden."
Turning around, he looked at Duan Tianming: "Commander Duan, go back and call for help. Commander Du, please stay here. Let him heal his wounds and torture him at the same time. On the day of his execution, I don't want to see an inch of intact skin on his body."
"
"Yes." Du Shaoqin was also a little annoyed. He picked up the bucket next to him and poured a bucket of cold water on Ma Yunshan's head.
Watching Ma Yunshan slowly wake up, Xiao Chen was about to stimulate Ma Yunshan's heart again, when there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the cell door.
A soldier from the Ministry of Justice hurriedly walked in and saluted Xiao Chen respectfully: "Master Ziyi, Mr. Dongchang is here. He said he has something important to see you."
"Mr. Factory Master?" Xiao Chen turned around, "Where are you?"
"In the hall, Master Shangshu is accompanying you."
"Okay. Let's go."
In the hall, after respectfully placing Lin Shangli on his seat, Li An hurriedly picked up the teapot on the table and started pouring tea.
Seeing that the tea bowl was about to be filled, he quickly lowered the teapot, pushed the tea bowl towards Lin Shangli, then returned to his seat and sat down.
"The factory owner paid a sudden visit. Does the emperor have any new instructions?"
Although he is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Li An has always been respectful to Lin Shangli.
This is not because the other party is the owner of Dongchang Factory, but the biggest reason is that the other party is a eunuch, and he is the most favored eunuch around the emperor.
Especially in the case of Ma Yunshan currently being handled by the Ministry of Punishment, Lin Shangli plays the role of the emperor's messenger.
He came to the Ministry of Punishment, and the emperor came to the Ministry of Punishment in person. All that was missing was the pomp and circumstance.
"That's not true." Lin Shangli smiled faintly, "I'm just here to see Xiao Chen and talk about some private matters in Dongchang."
While talking, Xiao Chen had already walked into the hall.
He hugged his fists and saluted Lin Shangli: "Mr. Factory Master."
"Yeah," Lin Shangli nodded.
"Aren't you accompanying the emperor in the palace? What's the important matter?"
"It's nothing important. Let's go for a walk outside." After saying that, Lin Shangli stood up.
Li An understood that it was not convenient for him to listen to what the two of them were going to say.
"It's a hot day. The factory owner has just arrived, so don't go out. I just want to go check how the clerks are sorting out the materials. You guys can talk here."
After saying that, he stood up, clasped his fists and bowed to the two of them respectively, then turned and left.
Watching Li An leave, Lin Shangli picked up the tea bowl in front of him and shook it gently: "This Li Shangshu is completely different from the previous one, but he is very discerning."
"There are no allies in Dongchang who are not smart." Xiao Chen chuckled, walked forward and sat on Li An's seat just now.
"Oh?" Lin Shangli laughed, holding up the tea bowl, "I vaguely remember that back then, Li Shangshu united with all the officials, but they made trouble to the emperor, wanting to hold you accountable for killing Cang Cheng on the spot."
"It was one moment and another. At that time, Mr. Li was just a little confused. Now, he is a good ally of our Dongchang and my good brother." Xiao Chen chuckled, picked up the teapot, and poured himself a bowl.
"I only hope that in the future, Commander Xu of Jin Yiwei will become so winky under your influence."
"Hahaha." Xiao Chen laughed heartlessly, "What was the image of His Royal Highness in the past? Now, is he very popular with the Emperor?"
"Don't tell me, you are really beautiful in doing this." Lin Shangli smiled, put the tea bowl to his mouth, and took a sip.
After the greetings, Xiao Chen's face turned serious: "The factory owner suddenly came to see me alone. Is it from our Dong Factory??"
"It's nothing serious." Lin Shangli put down the tea bowl in his hand, clasped his hands together, put his right arm on the table, and leaned forward slightly, "Longxi County, under the Chief Secretary of Shaanxi, has a major drought this year. Do you know?"
"I don't know." Xiao Chen shook his head.
"The Ministry of Revenue has sent people over to check it out, and it's been a few days. However, the emperor felt sorry for the victims and was extremely anxious. He always thought that the Ministry of Revenue was too slow. Therefore, he wanted Dongchang to send people over and work hard day and night.
Report the disaster situation in Longxi County accurately as quickly as possible so that the court can make disaster relief arrangements."
"But, Ma Yunshan's case here hasn't been settled yet. I'm afraid it won't be very good if I leave at this time, right?" Xiao Chen said a little embarrassed.
"You don't need to go. Just handle this case with peace of mind. Duan Tianming and Du Shaoqin, even if they cooperate with your affairs, can't go." Looking at Xiao Chen, Lin Shangli said with a smile.
"Then the factory owner is looking for me, what do you want?" Xiao Chen was a little puzzled.
"Let me ask you, in our Dongchang, who can take on this responsibility?"
Raising his hand, Xiao Chen scratched the back of his head: "Although Dongchang has a lot of people, there are only a few of them who may be working alone. The three of us are busy in the Criminal Department and can't spare our time. Only Liu Rufeng is left.
However, he is responsible for the training of the Divine Machine Soldiers, and he cannot leave."
For a while, Xiao Chen really couldn't think of a suitable candidate.
Seeing Xiao Chen's troubled look, Lin Shangli laughed: "I do have a candidate in mind who is very suitable. However, if I arrange for him to go, I have to discuss it with you."
"Discuss with me?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel embarrassed, "You are the owner of Dongchang. You have the final say on who will be arranged. There is no need to discuss with your subordinates."
Putting down his arms, Lin Shangli sat up straight, the smile on his face disappeared and became serious.
"I can have the final say on whoever is arranged. But for this person, I have to discuss it with you."
