my brother champion

"The court? Huh." The corners of Huo Guang's mouth slightly raised, and he asked, "Inspector Zhou, who do you think the court should listen to?"

As soon as Huo Guang's words came out.

Zhou Bo was stunned for a moment.

Then!

Without even thinking about it, he replied directly: "Is it the king's land under the Putian, and the king's ministers on the shore of the land, this court should listen to your majesty."

Pu, general.

Huo Guang was very satisfied with Zhou Bo's answer.

So he opened his mouth and said: "In that case, then you two, kneel down?"

Governor Zhou and Li Taishou of Wuwei County didn't understand Huo Guang's meaning, and immediately said angrily: "What, kneel down? I'll wait for the court order to kneel down to you? Even if you are Bo Luhou, I don't deserve to kneel down!"

Huo Guang didn't explain too much when he heard the words, he just took out a volume of letters in his arms and said: "The emperor's secret order, let me have full authority to investigate the situation of Liangzhou officials' corruption and perverting the law. When you see the secret order, how dare you not kneel?"

The two looked at each other when they heard the words.

They never expected that General Huo, who was sent by the imperial court to quell the rebellion, actually had a secret edict from the emperor!

This thing is not common!
resignedly.

The two finally had to kneel down.

At this time, Huo Guang smiled coldly and said, "What else do you two have to talk about now?"

Zhou Inspector said: "The emperor's secret edict is only for you to investigate this matter. Do you have conclusive evidence for arresting the prefect of Dunhuang County?"

Huo Guang glanced at Zhou Bo, and immediately mocked: "What nonsense, if there is no evidence, how could I arrest him?"

The words fall.

He looked at the prefect of Dunhuang County, whose head was pressed against the food table by Zhao Daniu, and sneered, "Prefect Liu, do you remember Luo Sande? He is in my hands now!"

"You let your nephew seize the relief food and refuse to distribute it, and Luo Sande's wife was raped by your nephew who is a petty official."

"In this case, you dared to judge Luo Sande's wife as an active seducer on the grounds that the resistance was not obvious. This resulted in the death of Luo Sande's wife and forced Luo Sande to become a thief."

"It is also because you embezzled the relief food money that the people in Dunhuang County have no food to eat."

"So those people gritted their teeth and became thieves."

"Based on this alone, you are a death penalty."

"Do you want me to tell you something else, you idiot, the things you committed and the evidence left behind, that's not a little bit!"

Liu Taishou of Dunhuang County was ashamed.

And Zhou Bo and the prefect of Wuwei County looked at each other, and they both saw in each other's eyes that they wanted to cut their arms to survive.

then.

Inspector Zhou took the initiative to say: "Bo Luhou, since the evidence is convincing, it is better to go directly to the prison in Wuwei County and wait for the court's punishment."

Huo Guang raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhou Bo and the prefect of Wuwei County, and snorted coldly: "He should be sent to prison, but you two, don't you have anything to tell me?"

heard.

Beads of sweat overflowed from the foreheads of Governor Zhou and Governor Liu.

I wondered if it was possible that Huo Guang also found out their evidence?

But the two of them acted cautiously and did not leave any evidence.This Huo Guang was in Dunhuang County before, but not in Wuwei County, so there is no reason to find out the criminal evidence of the two of them!
Simply.

The two concluded that Huo Guang was deceiving them.

then.

Zhou Bo's heart was broken, and he said: "Bo Luhou, although you have the emperor's secret edict, if you force me to say that we are guilty, then please also provide evidence."

Liu Taishou saw that Zhou Bo was so tough, and then he also echoed: "I will work conscientiously for the court and never exceed the rules. If General Huo says that I am guilty, please show evidence!"

The two were sure that Huo Guang had no evidence for them.

Just as they had guessed, Huo Guang did not have any criminal evidence for the two of them.

Previously, Huo Guang put down the rebellion in Dunhuang County, so it was natural to investigate the matter of the prefect of Dunhuang.

But he didn't stay in Wuwei County or other counties for a long time, so how could he have criminal evidence against Zhou Bo and Liu Taishou.

but.

Even so, Huo Guang's face remained unchanged, and he said directly: "Want evidence? Hehe, Zhou Inspector, the governor of Dunhuang County is so corrupt and perverted that he turned the people of a county into rebels, and you still ask me for evidence!"

heard.

Zhou Bo felt relieved, and said: "This official is indeed suspected of negligence. I will not refute this point. When the time comes, I will write a copy of it myself and plead guilty to the imperial court."

The governor is the official of a state, responsible for checking all officials in the state.

This must be higher than the official position of the prefect, and the authority is also above the prefect.

But some people say that the sheriff of the Qin Dynasty is the highest official of a county.

This is also normal.

Because the Qin Dynasty did not have a supervisory official like the governor, it did not appear until the Han Dynasty.

and!

How old is Qin Chao?But the land of the Six Kingdoms!

The Qin Dynasty built the Great Wall for the purpose of resisting the Huns. That is to say, the Huns were very powerful at that time, and even Qin Shihuang had to beware of them.

From this point, it can be inferred that in the Qin Dynasty, the land where the Huns were located had not yet been defeated.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty drove the Xiongnu to Mobei, and the large piece of land in Monan became the world of the Han Dynasty.

Here.

Don't discuss the merits of the two, just talk about the land.

The Han Dynasty was far greater than the Qin Dynasty.

natural.

The prefecture and county system of the Qin Dynasty naturally did not work well here in the Han Dynasty. The sheriff who used to be the highest local official became a prefect in the Han Dynasty and could only be regarded as a second-level local official.

The governor is the leader.

of course.

There were still many princes and kings in the Han Dynasty, and their feudal states were not included in the discussion.

Huo Guang saw Liangzhou Inspector Zhou Bo talking like this, he nodded and said, "Since you said so, then do it like this!"

"However, if I wait for the Marquis to ask something from Governor Liu of Dunhuang County."

"Don't blame Ben Hou for not showing affection!"

With that said, Huo Guang walked to the side of Taishou Liu and patted Zhao Daniu with his hand, which made him let go of Taishou Liu who was covered in blood.

Huo Guang looked at Liu Taishou who was hit by Zhao Daniu with blood on his head, and asked, "Dunhuang County Taishou, do you have anything to say to me?"

Hearing this, Taishou Liu glanced weakly at Governor Zhou and Taishou Li.

immediately!

He said decisively: "I am guilty of a crime, and it has nothing to do with others. If you want to kill or cut into pieces, let me listen to you!"

Good guy.

I really don’t cry without seeing the coffin.

Of course, Huo Guang had already anticipated this situation, and then he said with a smile: "Hehe, let me tell you something, Mr. Zhang, the imperial censor at the court, once taught me some experience in interrogating prisoners in prison."

"It's okay if you don't say it."

"I'll let you speak up!"

heard.

Zhou Bo and Li Taishou pretended to be furious at the same time: "Huo Guang, although Liu Taishou has committed a crime, but the court has not dismissed him yet to investigate, he is still an official of the court."

"If you dare to use lynching."

"I will definitely go to Chang'an, and I will give you a copy."

Huo Guang raised his eyebrows, looking at the two people who were so excited, he was even more sure of what was going on with them.

Immediately.

He opened his mouth and continued: "Lynching? Did I say that I was going to use this thing?"

"I said yes!"

"trial."

"This Marquis has the emperor's secret edict in hand, you have no right to interrogate who I interrogate!"

As soon as these words came out, the two were at a loss for words.

indeed.

With Huo Guang in hand, the emperor's secret edict, even if lynching was used, the two of them would have nothing to say.

The main thing is.

Even if it was a lynching, Huo Guang said it was an interrogation, so what could they do?
Huo Guang saw that the two remained silent, so he said to Zhao Daniu: "Okay, Daniel, help me take the prefect of Dunhuang County to the imperial prison when you are full."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Daniu immediately said: "It's only three minutes full, how full is it?"

Good guy.

You are only three percent full after eating so much, are you a pig?

wrong!

Pigs don't seem to be so edible.

Huo Guang shook his head and said: "Three minutes is enough, when you return to Chang'an, you will be full after every meal."

"it is good."

Zhao Daniu smiled foolishly.

immediately!

He carried Liu Bei, the prefect of Dunhuang County, out like a chicken.

Together with Huo Guang, he was imprisoned in imperial prison.

With Huo Guang and others leaving, only Taishou Li of Wuwei County and Governor Zhou Bo of Liangzhou remained in the house.

I saw Zhou Bo slapped the food table heavily, and cursed: "Damn you brat, you are really deceiving people too much."

"If it wasn't for a lucky brother."

"How can I let him bully me?"

Zhou Bo was very angry. As the governor of Liangzhou, a first-level official of the state and county, he naturally couldn't swallow this anger.

But the problem is.

Huo Guang was Marquis of Bo Lu, and also the chariot general who quelled the rebellion in Dunhuang County.

the most important.

He also holds the emperor's secret edict.

Even if Zhou Bo, a governor of Liangzhou, couldn't swallow his breath, so what?
Prefect Li of Wuwei County was not angry, he was always cautious, and immediately said to Zhou Bo: "Inspector Zhou, don't let your anger go to your head at this time."

"It's a matter of urgency."

"We should get rid of the prefect of Dunhuang County."

"He hasn't confessed to us now, but it doesn't mean he won't in the future. Besides, seeing Huo Guang's expression, he will definitely use lynching."

"Under this lynching, there is no guarantee that the other party will not confess anything to us!"

After some words.

Zhou Bo, the governor of Liangzhou, immediately calmed down and said, "Your brother's words are justified, Liu Bei should be eliminated."

"This guy is alive, which is not good for us."

"In this way, you go find someone to do this, and I will be responsible for stuffing people into prison, what do you think?"

Prefect Li of Wuwei County immediately said: "Yes!"

then.

A new event is about to take place.

And Huo Guang didn't know the insidious plan they had discussed.

After putting the opponent into the imperial prison.

He ordered that no one should approach the Governor Liu of Dunhuang County privately.

At the same time, he also transferred 100 people from the army, and replaced all the guards and officials in his prison.

There is still a little bit of caution.

After making these arrangements, Huo Guang walked into the exclusive prison of Liu Taishou in Dunhuang County.Looking at the resolute look in the opponent's eyes, Huo Guang knew that if he didn't use some things, this guy would never say what he knew.

The simplest method of interrogation in ancient times was lynching.

Modern people call it the Great Memory Restoration Technique!
But it's not fun to say!
If it gets out, I'm afraid it will be confirmed, and Huo Guang doesn't want to bear this stain.

and so.

He thought of a punishment that the prisoner would be terrified of.

First of all.

Ask Zhao Daniu to bring a wooden barrel with a very small hole in it, and hang it in the middle of the prison.

The bucket is filled with ordinary water.

Then Liu Taishou of Dunhuang County was placed under it, and he was fixed to the wooden board with ropes, and even his head was fixed so that he could not move.

The water droplets would fall at an extremely slow speed, hitting the bridge of Liu Taishou's nose drop by drop.

That's right.

This is the legendary punishment of dripping water.

Why use this punishment?

It's very simple, it will not leave any scars on the opponent's body, nor will it cause any damage to the body.

But it is a great test for the human spirit.

Can quickly cause a nervous breakdown!
This is more terrible and more effective than any punishment.

But this kind of punishment is not understood by everyone, especially the ancients 2000 years ago.

Following Huo Guang's instructions, Zhao Daniu finished these things and said to Huo Guang: "Can this drop of water make the other party submit? It feels useless!"

"Also, it's too cheap for this guy."

"I think it's better to replace this water with urine!"

Good guy, you, Zhao Daniu, are an honest guy, you never thought you would come up with such a poisonous scheme.

After thinking for a while, Huo Guang shook his head and said, "It's too dirty, and I need to be interrogated. Don't make yourself dirty, just use water."

"Remember, when the water drips out, add more water and don't break it."

"Finally, remember to keep a good watch here, and don't let him have any accidents."

Hearing Huo Guang's words, Zhao Daniu slapped his chest immediately and said, "Don't worry, I'm Zhao Daniu, it's hard for him to die!"

"Ah."

Huo Guang nodded, not planning to interrogate the former Governor Liu of Dunhuang County immediately.

Wait until he slowly feels the horror of the water dripping punishment.

Out of the prison.

Huo Guang then wrote a secret letter about what happened today and reported it to Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in Chang'an.

Two days later.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che hadn't finished speaking yet, but something happened in the imperial prison first.

After the news reached Huo Guang's ears, he rushed to the prison immediately.At this time, in the prison where Taishou Liu was imprisoned, a strange face was pressed tightly against Zhao Daniu's body, unable to move.

Huo Guang immediately stepped forward and asked Zhao Daniu, "What's going on?"

Zhao Daniu replied: "This guy delivers food, the amount of food is not right, I usually eat alone, at least five people, this guy sent two people in."

"It made me very angry."

"So I told this kid to get out and send it again."

"But this kid kept talking non-stop, so I threw the food on his face."

"When he saw the food being smashed, he didn't know where he took out the knife, and he didn't attack me. Instead, he rushed to Liu Bei inexplicably, trying to finish him with a knife."

"How can I let him succeed, I will clean him up immediately!"

"Yes, it is like that!"

Zhao Daniu gestured with his hands while talking, quite excited.

And listen to what he has to say.

Huo Guang guessed the origin of the murderer at once, so he knelt down and said to the assassin who was under the weight of absolute weight: "Are you sent by the governor of Liangzhou and the prefect of Wuwei County?"

"Pooh!"

At this moment, he spat and said nothing.

Huo Guang raised his eyebrows, and then asked: "The food must have been poisoned. You saw someone splashed it, so you did it, desperate to kill Liu Bei?"

Huo Guang's voice fell.

The assassin didn't say anything, but Zhao Daniu, a foolish man, quickly patted his thigh and said, "That's right, it must be like this."

"What do I say!"

"Why did this guy rush over to kill people when the food was splashed just now?"

"I see."

"General, since this kid is an assassin and not an imperial court official, I see that his whole body is broken, and he is dishonest!"

Huo Guang cast a blank glance at Zhao Daniu, shook his head and said, "Does such a kind-hearted man, Ben Hou, seem to be someone who can abuse lynching?"

"Don't say anything."

"Give him a dripping punishment too." (End of this chapter)
