I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 6 Dog officer, come to fetch a certain head

He Qushang walked outside the execution room to give some orders and then came back. A jailer came in with a wooden bucket full of water, and then violently poured water on Guo Kai.

The blood on Guo Kai's body was washed by the water, and the smell became even more pungent.

Roughness is rude, this trick is really useful, Guo Kai slowly had more reactions, his head shook a few times, and lifted up little by little.

Under the strands of dripping hair, Liu He saw a pair of bloodshot eyes.

These eyes were not big, but they were full of vigor. After the eyeballs turned slightly, he locked his eyes on Liu He.

There was disdain, rebelliousness, disgust in this gaze... There was even a hint of banter.

If the previous King Changyi saw these eyes, he would probably faint from fright immediately, but the current Liu He would not. don't flinch.

"He Yucheng, take a good pen and write down everything I say next, don't miss a single word." Liu He said coldly with his hands behind his back.

He Qushang quickly picked up a wooden tablet, a knife and a brush from the official case.

He first used a knife to plane off the writing on the wooden tablet, then filled the brush with ink, and then said: "Master, I'm ready."

Liu He didn't respond, all his attention was now on Guo Kai, and he continued as if talking to himself.

"There is a criminal law in the Western Regions called water torture."

"Before torture, the prisoner should be tied to a piece of wood at an angle, with the head above and the feet below.";
"When using torture, the jailer will first cover the prisoner's face with several layers of cloth, and then keep dripping water on the prisoner's face. The prisoner will not die, but his life is worse than death, as if he is about to be drowned all the time. .”

"Waterboarding is good because it doesn't require blood, and it doesn't require the jailer to work hard. As long as you have patience, you can easily make the prisoner suffer for a whole day."

"I heard them say that you are a piece of hob meat that is not afraid of death, and you have tasted all the criminal laws here."

"But you are also a well-known figure in Onozawa, and you must know how painful it is for people who drown in the water."

"Waterboarding allows you to have a good taste of being drowned."

"One day if you can't do it for a moment, ten days if you can't do it for one day, one month if you can't do it for ten days... In short, there is plenty of time, and your suffering will be endless."

"What's more, I can let your children have a taste of this. You are tough, but they are not as tough as you."

When Liu He said these words, there was no ups and downs in his tone, and his eyes were fixed on Guo Kai's.

Such vicious and cruel words uttered from the mouth of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy made people feel terrible.

The people in the torture room looked at Liu He with completely different and complicated eyes.

Chen Xiu is admiration, He Qushang is joy, and Yu Wuyou is worry.

And Guo Kai's eyes were still red, full of murderous intent, but something seemed to be loose, he gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a sentence: "Dog officer, come and get a certain head!"

Liu He smiled, looked back at Yu Wuyou and the others who were still a little dazed, and said, "Very good, there are two more words than before."

Don't underestimate these two words. From an interrogation point of view, it means that the opponent's defense has begun to shake.

Without waiting for others to express their agreement, Liu He turned to Guo Kai again and said, "On the way here, I have been thinking about one question. You are not afraid of death, but why are you unwilling to confess?"

"Could it be that you were wronged? Obviously not, if you were wronged, you would not die so calmly, so this threshold has always puzzled me."

At this time, Guo Kai raised his head, and a smile appeared on his bruised face, a smile of success.

This smile finally turned into two words: interesting.

Unexpectedly, Liu He also laughed, a very bright smile, even the back molars were exposed, this star-like smile made the entire torture room seem to light up.

"But before I walked into this criminal law, I figured out why you did that."

The smile on Guo Kai's face froze, but he still didn't say a word.

"Let's make a bet. If I guess right, you bet honestly. If I guess wrong, I'll give you a happy one."

"Under the door, this..."

Liu He turned his head and stared at He Qushang who was speaking, and said word by word: "If you don't agree, I will leave now, and I will never step into the Lieutenant's Mansion again in this life."

"But... But how do we know if he will admit it?"

"He is ashamed of lying." Liu He said firmly.

Before He Wuji could post again, Liu He had already looked at Guo Kai again and asked, "Do you dare to bet with me?"

Guo Kai was still thinking, he wasn't really afraid of death, but he really wanted to know why this dog official in a linen robe was so self-righteous.

"Come!"

"Hahaha, there is one more word, He Yucheng, Chen Caoshi, let me just say, this method is designated to work."

"Go out, I'll have a chat with him alone, and come in when you come in."

Up until now, He Qushang and Chen Xiu had been controlled by Liu He. After a salute, they obediently left the torture room, but Yu Wuyou did not leave.

"You go out too."

"It seems wrong for you to do so."

"What's wrong, is it wrong to help the law enforcement officer interrogate the prisoner, or it's wrong to use too ruthless means."

Trial of criminals is a matter of course, so we should do whatever it takes.

Yu Wuyou didn't know how to refute for a moment.

"Be careful at the door." After saying this, Yu Wuyou left and closed the door.

Immediately, the torture room darkened, and even the other party's expression could not be seen clearly.

Liu He was not in a hurry to speak, he wanted to control the rhythm of the conversation.

After pacing back and forth for a few rounds, Liu He came to a place three feet in front of Guo Kai and stopped.

"I'm starting to speak now, and if I make a mistake, I will lose."

"Yes." Guo Kai replied provocatively.

"Guo Kai, a native of Zhi County, Hanoi, fled his nationality as a teenager and became a refugee."

"Being a bandit near the lake in Onozawa, earning a living by robbing merchants, has quite a reputation."

Guo Kai remained expressionless, which meant that Liu He had said nothing wrong up to here.

Liu He took a breath slowly, just now was just an appetizer, what he was going to say next was the key point, success or failure is a matter of one action - if there is complete certainty, then it is not a gamble.

"His grandfather was Guo Xie in Hanoi. Guo Xie was a knight-errant. He was frugal, hospitable, and generous. He killed people for guests. He was punished by the clan during the reign of Emperor Xiaowu!"

Liu He finished the long sentence word by word, each word was like a bunch of arrows, shot at Guo Kai's body, breaking his armor.

When Liu He stopped, the anger and disdain on Guo Kai's face was gone, and it turned into a kind of shock.

It was a fluke that Guo Kai was able to escape the clan's punishment when he was a child, so his life experience became his biggest secret, and he never confided in anyone.

However, this young man with a strange identity in front of him knew it so clearly, which made Guo Kai feel murderous.

When he wanted to jump up and fight the opponent, he pulled the iron chain on his body, and only then did he realize that he was powerless to fight back.

"Dog officer, where did you know that!"
