Sui and Tang Dynasties: Killing Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to sacrifice to heaven at the beginni

Chapter 446 Disputes in the court
A barracks in the Meishan camp has been temporarily converted into an interrogation room.A soldering iron was being inserted into the brazier, and the fire flickered in the brazier like a ghostly purgatory.

"Zhang Baoru, the manager of the Mei Mansion, was sold to the Mei Mansion when he was seven years old. He has been in the Mei Manor for more than [-] years now, so he can be regarded as an old man of the Mei Manor!" asked the young man.

Zhang Baoru was tied to the execution rack, and his whole heart was disturbed. From time to time, there would be screams coming from the surrounding tents.Zhang Baoru knew that it must be the rest of the Mei family who were being tortured.

Zhang Baoru didn't say a word, he was terrified right now, he knew that maybe it won't be long before this soldering iron will be pressed on his body.

"Speak up on your own initiative? Or are you talking after the last punishment?" The faint fire light reflected on Ma Shumou's face, and Ma Shumou's voice was heard in Zhang Baoru's ears, which was particularly eerie.

"I say!"

"I say!"

"My lord ordered us to provoke the people, surround the Meishan camp, and prevent you from surveying the river. However, today's riot has nothing to do with us. The lord's order is only to surround you!" Zhang Baoru said with tears.

Uncle Ma thought to himself, of course I know that today's riot has nothing to do with you, it was all arranged by me.But, you kid, you don't understand human accidents!Don't you know what I want to hear?
"Come on, give him a long memory, let him know what to say and what not to say!" Ma Shumou waved his hand and signaled his soldiers to torture him.

In this day and age, extorting a confession by torture is the best method.Not to mention the serious crime of rioting, even the trivial matters of the county government stealing chickens and dogs are often closed by torture.

It can be said that extorting confessions by torture is a common method of handling cases, and it is also the most effective method of handling cases.

"Don't, don't"

"Don't torture, don't torture"

"I said, what do you ask me to say, is it okay if I say it?" Zhang Baoru said with a sad face.

He was just a thug who was sold to the Mei Mansion, and after 30 years he became a manager.A servant, even if he has been a servant for 30 years, is still a servant. He has no loyalty to Meifu.

In the face of this kind of life and death, it is natural to preserve one's own life.

"Isn't that right! Anyway, it's the last thing to say, so why should you suffer from flesh and blood?"

"Since you are willing to tell the truth, then I will remind you. The Mei family in Mei County is bold and has no secrets about the construction of the canal. Not only is it unwilling to migrate according to the river map, but it also instigates the people to rebel."

"Today, you were ordered by the Mei family to lead the people to attack the camp and intend to kill this official!"

"I don't know much about this matter. It's probably the process. As for the details, it's up to you to perfect it yourself!" Ma Shumou said calmly.

"It's over!"

"Mr. Mei is over!"

The steward thought so in his heart, Ma Shumou labeled Mei as a rebel, obviously he wanted to kill Mei!

However, at this time, a dead fellow Taoist would not die a poor one, Zhang Baoru also knew that he would not be able to resist such things, so why bother to bury Mrs. Mei with him.

According to the outline given by Ma Shumou, after Zhang Baoru thought about it, he perfected the details. After perfecting it, he signed and pledged the matter.

Meanwhile, the rest of the interrogation continued.

All the family members of the Mei family who were captured were interrogated separately, and those who were willing to pour dirty water on Mei's body like Zhang Baoru were all recorded and signed, and detained in the camp.

Occasionally, some servants who were loyal to the Mei family were all killed.

What does it mean to be killed?It was beheaded with a knife, and then the cause of his death was attributed to being killed by the army during the suppression of the rebellion.

After interrogating these servants, Ma Shumou selected representatives from among the people and began to let them identify the leader.

The people didn't know what happened, he only knew that it was the Mei family who started it, and they followed the Mei family to the camp to make trouble.

As for the extent of the disturbance and how, these people are completely unclear.

However, this is enough. With the confessions of Zhang Baoru and the members of the Mei family, and the identification of the common people, this basin of dirty water has been poured on Mei's body, and they will not be able to wash it off even if they jump into the Yellow River. Cleared up.

"Master Ma, all the confession records are here. Even if this lawsuit is brought to the Golden Luan Hall, we are also responsible!" The officer in charge of the interrogation handed the dossier in his hand to Ma Shumou, and said a little excitedly.

These officials in charge of interrogation are all members of the Eight Great Families of Guanlong, and the Mei family is a member of the Jiangzuo gentry.Today, it is time to kill the chicken and show it to the monkeys, so as to frighten the Jiangzuo gentry.

"Assemble the soldiers and attack with hard crossbows. Today, my lord will arrest Mrs. Mei and subdue him!" Uncle Ma said with a righteous look on his face.

Needless to say, although Ma Shumou is a member of the Guanlongmen Clan, this kid is really talented.This pot of dirty water was poured seamlessly, and no one could find a single flaw in it.

Let's put it this way, the Mei family has already been determined by Uncle Ma, even if the Jiangzuo nobles and the five surnames and Qiwang want to protect it, they will definitely not be able to protect it.

Not long after, except for the hundreds of people left behind in the Meihua camp to guard the civilians who participated in the riot, the rest of the people all rushed towards Meixian County.

These three thousand heavily armed soldiers went straight to the city of Meixian, which immediately caused a riot among the people in the city.

There is only one thousand guards in Mei County, and most of them are old and weak who are idle and lack combat effectiveness.

Mei County has not seen such fully armed elite soldiers enter the city for many years.

The people in the city know that some people along the river have gone to the Meishan camp to make trouble. These people are obviously the soldiers of the Meishan camp.Could it be that these troublemakers really made things worse.

When these soldiers entered the city, they must have come for the Mei family. The Mei family secretly sent people to persuade the people to surround the Meishan camp. This is no secret in Mei County.

Mei's purpose is the same as that of the people along the river, they all hope that the canal can be diverted.

The Mei family moved their ancestral graves and ancestral houses not far away, and the people along the river did not want to move their homes.These people are not fools either, the reason why they follow Mei's people to make troubles is because they think that when the sky falls, there will be tall people to support them.

There is no doubt that Mrs. Mei is relatively tall. If something big happened, the court would deal with Mrs. Mei first.

The Mei family's idea is that the law does not choose the public, and there are people above them who will protect them. As long as things don't make a big fuss, the Mei family's foundation will not be hurt.

It's just that he never expected that once Uncle Ma made a move, he would punish Mei's family to death.
