Chapter 339 I, Qiu Shenji, Punishing Rape and Eliminating Evil Is the Greatest Mercy
Shang Gong was taken aback by the big face in front of him, and opened his eyes suddenly.

Qiu Shenji took a step back, straightened his waist, and made a proud face: "Do you recognize who I am?"

Shang Gong quickly regained his composure, and said, "Of course I recognize you, you are Qiu Shenji, the son of Qiu Xinggong!"

"The four of your brothers, Qiu Shenzhi, Qiu Shenfu, and Qiu Shending are mediocre people, but you are the only one who follows Li Yuanfang closely in the inner guard. Now you are one of the best figures in the Wudewei, the sixth-rank Captain Zhaowu."

"Your father had many evils, and after his death, the Qiu family has a tendency to decline. At your age, if you can enter the fifth rank before the age of forty, you will be able to revive the family."

Qiu Shenji clapped his hands and praised: "I even remember the names of my brothers who have not entered the official position clearly. They are worthy of being the internal guards of plum blossoms who supervise all officials."

Shang Gongdao: "Since you know the ability of Meihua's inner guard, you should also know that the old man is the deputy cabinet leader appointed by the sage. Is it your majesty's order to interrogate me? Is it the order of the crown prince? Or Li Yuanfang's private order?"

Qiu Shenji raised his crooked brows: "What do you want to say?"

Shang Gong sighed, the corners of his eyes drooped, and the flesh on his face drooped, showing a bit of kindness: "What I want to say, must have been thought of by Qiu Wuwei in the dead of night, right?"

"Among the group of martial arts guards, you seem to be in the limelight and everyone respects you, but that's because they regard you as a cruel official and fear you in their hearts!"

"Our situation is actually the same. We all do dirty work. Even if we are honest with each other, the end is often miserable. Not to mention far away, His Royal Highness does not like people like us..."

"Perhaps the prince is benevolent, and we have some credit after all. It won't matter, but what about those high families? They won't let us go!"

"You were the one who interrogated Yang Zhirou, Minister of the Household Department, and Prince Zhan, Yang Jiaben, right? The Yang family of Hongnong couldn't do anything to His Majesty, or Li Yuanfang, who was born in the Li family of Longxi. Could it be that they couldn't deal with you? Don't just be greedy for today. Scenery, I don’t know what will happen in the future!”

At the end, Shang Gong slowly closed his eyes, and recited the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, turn your head and see the shore..."

Qiu Shenji, as a Buddhist who is actively donating, put his hands together: "My Buddha is merciful! My Buddha is merciful!"

In Shang Gong's eyes covered by eyelids, a flash of complacency suddenly flashed.

She has some understanding of the temperament and hobbies of every official in the court. Since Li Yuanfang snatched Shangguan Wan'er away, she has carefully studied the youngest fifth-rank dignitary and his confidants, and she has long thought about it. Various strategies, now used to practice, and sure enough...

"Snapped!!"

A whip lashed her body hard.

Caught off guard, Shang Gong's old body swayed backwards, and the rattle of the chain above it mixed with her next scream, breaking the tranquility of the prison.

It wasn't just a whip, but the next gust of wind made Shang Gong scream: "Qiu Wuwei! What are you doing... I am... a leader of the Plum Blossom Pavilion... a fifth-rank internal official... ah!!"

Qiu Shenji didn't pay any attention, and beat Shang Gong like a spinning top.

After more than fifty lashes in a row, Shang Gong's screams stopped abruptly, his head tilted, and he was forcibly knocked unconscious.

Only then did Qiu Shenji put down his whip, and nodded slightly, quite satisfied: "As expected of an old villain who has practiced martial arts all her life, she is still strong at such an age, is the medicine ready?"

The last sentence was asked to the doctors who were making the soup not far away, and the doctors responded: "Okay!"

Qiu Shenji said happily: "Bring it here! Doctor Liu really gave me Qiu some face. With this medicine, I will feel much more comfortable interrogating the prisoner. Give her the medicine!"

……

I do not know how long it has been.

Shang Gong slowly regained consciousness.

Just as he opened his eyes, he saw a head protruding from the side, and it was still Qiu Shenji's big face that filled his eyes: "Are you awake?"

She was in a trance for a while, and even felt that she was just dreaming.

But soon, the severe pain in her body reminded her that everything that happened before was real.

However, Qiu Shenji took another step back and said with a smile, "Do you recognize who I am?"

This kind of repetition is not fun, a piercing chill rose from his heart, and Shang Gong's face froze: "Qiu Wuwei, why are you working so hard for Li Yuanfang?"

Qiu Shenji dug his ears: "Why bother? Why arrest people and interrogate them? Have you ever thought about the possibility that I really like this kind of work?"

Shang Gong was stunned.

Qiu Shenji said very earnestly: "I was not good at writing or martial arts since I was a child. I am no different from my other brothers. If I want to get rid of brown and become an official, I have to join the Imperial Army and live slowly."

"At that time, the inner guard was re-established. The third uncle took me into the inner guard and gave me the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. In the end, I still missed it repeatedly until I started arresting people..."

"I led troops into Liangzhou Jia's mansion and captured key witnesses. Liu Lang said that without me, the Liangzhou Jia thief would have escaped."

"That was my first meritorious service. I will always remember that night. How majestic I, Qiu Shenji, became the nemesis of sinners, and then I got out of hand!"

"You thieves, all of you are too cunning, and you are still so stubborn after being caught. I have to keep thinking of new interrogation methods, and I will fight you hard!"

At the end, he clasped his hands together, quite piously: "My godly achievements in punishing rape and eradicating evil are the greatest mercy, Amitabha!"

Shang Gong secretly made a mistake, the other party obviously had her own thoughts, and she was consistent with them, enjoying it, her eyes rolled, and she quickly thought of new ways.

Afraid that the whip would come suddenly again, she said slowly: "I am a fifth-rank internal official, and also the deputy chief of the Plum Blossom Internal Guard appointed by the sage. It is just a misunderstanding with Li Jiyi. Wan'er is talented and intelligent, and can be accepted It's her good fortune that Li Jiyi took a fancy to her, and the old man is also happy for her..."

"Don't say disgusting words, so I won't beat you to death with too much force!"

Qiu Shenji interrupted directly, raising his eyebrows: "Shang Gong, who appeared in the motorcade at that time and wanted to take Wan'er away, was indeed your substitute, otherwise you wouldn't repeat that you are a fifth-rank internal official now, I How did you answer back then... Oh, I remembered, I let you go!"

Shang Gong's face darkened.

Qiu Shenji's tone was filled with rejoicing: "I wanted to capture you and torture you, but fortunately Di Huaiying persuaded me. I didn't expect you to let a double show up, and even Wan'er didn't recognize it. You were really careful."

"As for the deputy cabinet leader of the plum blossom inner guard, do you have an imperial decree, can you prove your identity? If not, then it's a pity, I only know the deputy cabinet leader of the Ming Dynasty, and the officials of the Manchu Dynasty probably don't know you, maybe they know Will you pretend not to know? After all, you know too much..."

Shang Gong's pupils contracted.

It's not that she doesn't understand these things, but she still feels indescribably terrified when she is exposed.

Qiu Shenji continued: "You carefully hid in the dark, and found out the preferences of all the officials in the court, but I'm curious, have you ever understood yourself?"

"What do you like? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of execution?"

Shang Gong's voice sank, and there was a bit of pleading: "Qiu Wuwei, we might as well talk if we have something to say..."

Qiu Shenji turned a deaf ear, went to the shelf next to it, and stroked the instruments of torture on it: "The older a person is, the more he fears death. This is the experience I have summed up after watching the execution ground for several years. Do you think it is right?"

Shang Gong shook his head subconsciously: "No!"

Qiu Shenji expressed his expectation: "Then I hope your next performance can change my prejudice."

……

I do not know how long it has been.

The comatose Shang Gong woke up again, she didn't dare to open her eyes, but from the breath on her face, she could clearly know that there was a face close at hand.

Then came the familiar greeting: "Are you awake?"

Shang Gong trembled all over.

Qiu Shenji in front of him was obviously a little disappointed: "When you were in a coma, I took the time to interrogate your confidantes, and listened to them tell you how you tortured your subordinates with cruel methods. You can torture others, but why have you been tortured several times? , become like this?"

Shang Gong gritted his teeth after hearing this, and finally became furious: "I punish those criminal women, at least there is a reason, you don't ask any questions, and start to torture! Qiu Shenji, you are crazy, there is no interrogation like you!"

Qiu Shenji laughed: "What are you talking about? I interrogated you at the beginning because I thought you would not be able to explain, so I didn't ask questions. In the end, you were useless and blamed me instead?"

Shang Gong couldn't take it anymore: "Then you ask! What do you want to know?"

Qiu Shenji looked at her and shook his head: "I hear you are full of anger. Obviously, the torture is not enough, and you will lie if you ask me. Come here, give her medicine!"

Under the constant shaking of the chain, Shang Gong was forced to drink the decoction, screamed in it for half an hour, and passed out again.

……

When he woke up for the fourth time, without Qiu Shenji saying hello, Shang Gong took the initiative to moan and said, "Don't hit me, I have something important to talk to Li Jiyi, please come here."

Qiu Shenji said: "Liu Lang caught Ya people in Luoyang City, those people are also your subordinates, right? If you are willing to explain where they are hiding, I will let you wait for a while."

Shang Gong's cloudy eyes flickered when he heard the words, but he hissed: "What I want to say is a more important matter. The king of Poyang wants to rebel!"

Qiu Shenji wondered, "Who is the King of Poyang?"

Shang Gong was stunned, and finally realized that the other party was not being modest if he claimed to be incapable of writing or martial arts, and shouted: "He is the fourth son of the sage, the son of Concubine Xiao Shu in the past, he is going to rebel in the south of the Yangtze River, you go and investigate it quickly, Once the rebels are suppressed, it will be a great achievement!"

Li Zhi has a total of eight sons, the current prince Li Hong is the fifth son, and Li Xian, Li Xian and Li Dan are the four sons.

The first four sons were concubines. Li Sujie, the king of Poyang, was the son of concubine Xiao Shu. He was granted the title of king Xu for the first time.

Hearing the rebellion, Qiu Shenji was a little moved, and ordered: "Record the testimony of this old thief."

Seeing him talking, Shang Gong still walked towards the torture rack, screamed, his old voice was full of anxiety: "This is a major rebellion, Qiu Shenji, are you still here?"

Qiu Shenji was puzzled at first: "Even if the King of Poyang really rebelled, there will naturally be generals to suppress the rebellion. It is a great achievement for me to ask for a testimony!"

Then he smiled, and moved over with a big face: "Don't worry, I was going to interrogate Princess Silla, but I let it go because of you. I'm here, not going anywhere..."

……

I don't know how many times I fell into a coma, and how many times I woke up.

"Are you awake?"

Hearing that familiar voice, Shang Gong seamlessly connected and passed out again.
