Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 54
In the dungeon of the Grand Master's Mansion, there were continuous shrill screams.

"I, I, I have confessed, there is really nothing to hide!" In the prison cell, on top of the torture tools, a bloody body was pinned tightly to it, with its head lowered, wailing incessantly.

The guard in charge of the interrogation subconsciously glanced at the leader behind him.

"Look at what I do, keep fighting!" the leader of the guard said casually.

Hearing this, the Fu Wei flicked the whip that was soaked in salt water in his hand, and slapped this person hard again.There was only a scream, and the person being interrogated rolled his eyes and passed out immediately.

The Fuwei paused in his hand, turned his head a little at a loss, and said:
"Boss, this man has passed out..."

The leader of the guard stood up quickly, stepped forward to check, and after confirming that the person in front of him was still breathing, he felt relieved.

"Boss, are we going too far? This Huali's is, after all, the Lingcheng of the Dianke Department. If he is released, will he retaliate against us?" The guard in charge of the interrogation couldn't help but ask.

The leader of the government guard was silent for a moment, then stood up and said:
"What are you afraid of? We are from the Grand Master's Mansion... Besides, it is still a question of whether we can get out alive!"

"But the superiors only let us interrogate, and didn't let us use such cruel methods."

The leader of the guards frowned and scolded:
"Why do you care so much, the higher-ups are blaming me, aren't they?"

The guard in charge of the interrogation immediately shut up.

"You guys interrogate first, I'll go out to get some air." The head of the guard coughed dryly, then turned around and walked out of the cell.

The guard leader led out of the dungeon, walked faster and faster, and came to a courtyard next to the dungeon, and said urgently to the person sitting in the courtyard:

"Mr. Wen, is it really okay for us to do this?"

Wen Tiren put down the teacup in his hand, and said lightly:
"What's wrong, something went wrong?"

The leader of the guard no longer had the calm look just now, and said with a trace of panic:
"Mr. Wen, the man named Hua Li just now almost lost his breath under the severe torture, but it scared me. These people are all high officials in the court. If the Grand Master releases them later, it will Don't you want to pick on us?"

Wen Tiren heard the words, but chuckled lightly, and said comfortingly:
"Don't be afraid, Mr. Tie entrusted us to investigate Hua Li. In the past, he embezzled money from the treasury, blackmailed foreign envoys, and even pretended to be a bandit and intercepted and killed envoys. Now all the things about him have been exposed. With these few things alone, it is impossible for him to stand up!"

Fu Wei took the lead for a while, nodded, but soon said anxiously:
"Then there are other people, all of whom are subordinate officials of the court, all of them are of high authority..."

Wen Tiren heard this, raised his hand and handed over a cup of tea, and said softly:

"It's not like we are all tortured. Except for those who have no background, the rest of us just make fun of it. Every one of these officials is clean under their buttocks. It's only been a few days. , you and your subordinates have gained a lot, right?"

Speaking of this, the leader of the government guard couldn't help showing a smile, cupped his hands and said:
"Don't worry, sir, I know some rules, and the sir's share will not be less."

Wen Tiren waved his hand, shook his head and said:
"I've always had enough for yellow and white things... Others, you have to keep an eye on them. Those who have been cleaned up have all the evidence of crimes. It's a credit to hand them over. And the rest Officials, even if you can't really do it, you have to pull me over when you are tortured. If anyone can't stand it and is so scared that he confesses everything, this is for you and me."

The head of the guard immediately cupped his hands at Wen Tiren, and said with a smile:
"Mister has lofty aspirations and wants to find someone to show his face in front of the Grand Master. I understand, you can rest assured."

Wen Tiren explained a few words with a smile, and just now let the head of the guard go back with peace of mind.

He sat where he was, with the corners of his mouth curled, but his eyes were full of coldness.

Most of the officials who were arrested were not dealt with like this.But seeing his colleagues being tortured, it is inevitable that the rabbit will die and the fox will feel sad and resentful.

Naturally, they dared not vent their grievances to the Grand Master.Naturally, it fell on Tie Shengwen.

When all the important things are settled, when the Grand Master arrives, even if he wants to use Tie Shengwen again, he must pay attention to the emotions of the officials.In this way, his opportunity to be warm and benevolent has come!

Li Lian was walking in the Grand Master's Mansion, hearing the faint screams coming from the depths of the mansion, his brows were slightly frowned.

"What's with this sound?"

Hearing this, the guard who led the way in front hurriedly said:

"Back to Mr. Li, the group of officials who were arrested are being tortured."

Li Lian frowned and said:
"Torture? They are all officials of the court, and there is no evidence, which is arousing criticism... Does the Grand Master know?"

"Of course I know, but I didn't ask." Fuwei replied.

Hearing this, Li Lian kept his mouth shut and didn't say much, but he also looked preoccupied.

At this moment, Tie Shengwen came staggeringly, shaking his iron fan, and bumped into Li Lian head-on.

"Mr. Tie, what are you doing here?" Li Lian's expression changed, and he bowed his hands and saluted with a smile.

Tie Shengwen lowered his head slightly, and said with a smile:

"It's Master Li, but it's been a long time."

"Hahaha, Mr. Tie is busy with business, and I am alone, so naturally I can't meet him."

Having said that, Tie Shengwen couldn't help but shook his head and sighed:
"Isn't that right! Some time ago, the assassins were arrested, and then they were interrogated. There are also rumors that suddenly appeared in Beijing and slandered the Grand Master recently. I have to investigate this carefully."

Speaking of this, Tie Shengwen suddenly remembered something, and said:

"By the way, Mr. Li was summoned by the Grand Master today, I'm afraid it's because of this."

Hearing this, Li Lian moved his eyelids, nodded and said:
"Oh? There is such a thing. I don't go out of the house these days, but I don't know about it."

Hearing Tie Shengwen, he closed his iron fan and cupped his hands and said:
"In the future, I'm afraid I will ask Master Li to help me with all my strength."

Li Lian waved his hands repeatedly and said:

"If you don't dare, you should do your duty."

The two complimented each other a few more times before leaving.

In front of the Lingcheng courtyard of the Grand Master's Mansion, Li Lian was about to enter the courtyard when a guard stopped him and said respectfully:
"The grand master suddenly has a major military matter to deal with, so please wait for Mr. Li in the side hall."

Li Lian didn't think about it, nodded, and followed the guard to the side hall.

But Li Lian and others have not been summoned for several hours.

Li Lian, who was sitting in deep thought, suddenly had a thought in his mind and was startled.

He hurriedly stood up and looked out of the side hall.

Except for the side hall, except for a few palace guards, there is nothing unusual.

Li Lian frowned and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord Li, the grand master is calling!" From the side hall, came the voice of the guard.

Li Lian took a deep breath, calmed himself down, walked out of the side hall, and headed towards Ling Chengyuan under the guidance of the guard.

　At 09:30, I was lying on the bed and playing with my mobile phone, but fell asleep directly, and woke up again after two o'clock. . .
