Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1563 Interrogation in person

Li Shimin asked, and Wannian couldn't help feeling flustered.

But soon, he still said: "Your Majesty, I haven't heard of any opposition parties in Xiangyang City, so it's not a very serious matter."

Li Shimin waved his hand: "No, it's serious. This opposition party has officials and wealthy businessmen. They collude with each other. What a terrifying force. If they continue to collude like this, it will sooner or later become a problem for my Tang Dynasty. Now that we have met them, we must not let them succeed, you, the governor of Shannan Road, did not notice it, you are obviously a little incompetent, when I return to Chang'an City, I will punish you."

Hearing that he was going to be punished, Wan Nian's face looked a little aggrieved and panicked, but he felt a little relaxed in his heart.

Because Li Shimin said that he would punish him after returning to Chang'an City, obviously the current Li Shimin didn't know that he was also a member of the opposition party.

As long as Li Shimin doesn't know, this matter still has a chance to work.

There is also a transfer.

Wannian bowed his head in silence, as if he really admitted his mistake.

At this time, Li Shimin said again: "I happen to know a few members of the opposition party, and someone will bring them soon. Since you are here, Wan Aiqing, you might as well wait here and see if the opposition party is real or not." It may endanger my Datang, let's see how many members of the opposition party there are in Shannan Road, how about it?"

Wannian's heart beat wildly, but facing Li Shimin's words, he didn't dare to refute, so he could only respond quickly.

But Wannian didn't wait too long, and soon, people from Zhongjunying arrested four or five members of the opposition party.

Of these members of the opposition party, two are businessmen and three are officials.

Wannian knew these few people. When he saw them, Wannian's heart was shocked. He didn't expect that Li Shimin actually knew the members of the opposition party. If so, the situation would be a little bad for them.

However, Wannian's expression was very calm, trying not to arouse Li Shimin's suspicion.

And he felt that he was right, with him around, these people wouldn't have betrayed the opposition, right?

If these people don't want their son to have trouble, it's better to be quiet.

In the big tent, several people knelt down on the ground, their expressions were a little flustered. They had always felt that after joining the opposition party, helping each other would be helpful for their business and official career.

But who would have thought that suddenly, they would be accused of treason, which made them very nervous.

I just feel bad luck.

And they still don't know who is arresting them.

Kneeling at this time, seeing Wannian was there, they couldn't help but want to ask Wannian to spare his life, but after seeing Wannian's eyes, they immediately suppressed this desire to survive.

Li Shimin sat in front, he didn't mean to interrogate, he just glanced at Qin Tian, ​​and said: "Qin Aiqing, ask them, I will leave it to you."

Qin Tian took the order. After hearing this, these people were a little shocked. The only one who dared to call someone Aiqing was the Son of Heaven. The person in front of him was the Son of Heaven?
Seeing that Wannian also looked groveling, they immediately slumped to the ground.

They were all smart people, so they naturally knew who was arresting them.

The emperor said that they intend to rebel, so their future fate may be a little bit bad.

Several people were trembling and sweating.

Qin Tian glanced at them, and said: "Sacred Majesty's private visit, I found that you have joined an organization called the opposition party, which intends to overthrow Datang. It is a serious crime if you want to rebel. Say it, the Holy One is merciful, and he can spare your lives, if not, the end is definitely not what you can think of."

These people may not necessarily be able to see the emperor in their entire lives, so they are all nervous to death now, but they also know that if some things they know are really exposed, their family members may be killed before the court takes action. It will be unexpected, and the first to be unexpected must be their son who is a hostage.

Moreover, if they really spoke up, it would be tantamount to admitting that they had joined the opposition party organization and conspired against them, so although they were terrified to death, they still insisted on this situation.

"Lord Qin is wronged, we don't know anything about the opposition party at all."

"Yeah, what is an opposition party? I'm just an ordinary businessman."

"Please forgive Lord Qin and Shengshang. We really are not members of the opposition party, and we don't know what the opposition party is."

"........."

Several people do not admit that they are members of the opposition party, and they don't even know what the opposition party is.

Qin Tian looked at their denials, but he was not in a hurry, but after they finished speaking, he showed a ferocious smile.

"In front of the Son of Heaven, you are really brave. Your Majesty and I don't have much patience. If that's the case, I'll just use torture."

As he spoke, Qin Tian waved his hand, and soon, someone brought up a plate with a sharp Tang knife on it.

"Come from him first. I see that he is fat and has a lot of flesh on his body. You can cut off him. Stop after cutting a hundred pieces."

After the words fell, a guard didn't hesitate, and directly took a knife to cut the man's flesh.

This man is obese, and the meat is quite easy to cut. It didn't take long for the guard to cut off a plate. As for whether there were a hundred pieces, no one really counted them.

At this time, that person was already hoarse from the screams, and even fainted from the pain, then woke up again, and continued to faint.

The scene was a bit cruel, even if I asked other prisoners, they had never done this before. Seeing this situation, the few people next to them trembled and were terrified.

"Go ahead, tell me everything you know."

The man was in extreme pain, but in the face of this situation, he still kept his mouth shut and refused to say anything.

Qin Tian's eyebrows condensed slightly, revealing a murderous intent, and immediately after, a guard swung his knife and chopped off the man's head.

The head rolled over, spilling blood all over the ground.

Qin Tian glanced at it, pointed to another person and said, "Cut a hundred pieces of flesh from him."

Immediately after giving the order, another guard started to attack. The man let out a scream, the pain was unbearable, after cutting more than [-] slices, he couldn't bear it anymore, he knew that if he didn't say anything, when he was killed After being tortured badly, they will still be cut off with a single knife.

And Wannian stood by, obviously not intending to save him.

Of course, it's not that Wannian doesn't want to save them, but that he simply doesn't have the ability to do so. Here, he himself is in great danger, so how dare he save others?

"Forgive me, forgive me, I said, I told all I know."
