The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 419 Confession and Shock

In the cold and dark prison, there was only the sound of dripping water hitting the foreheads of Zhao Fei and Chen Zique.

At first, Chen Zique thought this was just a little trick. He was sure that the court would not dare to punish them severely, so he didn't care at all.

But as time passed, he felt more and more that something was wrong. He felt like he was starting to lose consciousness, his lips were dry, and he was filled with fear.

The surroundings were cold and dark, and no one could be seen. This made Chen Zique panic even more. After an unknown amount of time, he felt that he was on the verge of death.

This kind of torture was more unbearable than torture. His psychological defense was completely broken, so he shouted hysterically: "Someone, someone!"

"I recruited, I said, let me go, let me go."

In the prison not far away, Zhao Fei was weak and hanging on for his life, his eyes were dull, as if he had encountered some serious torture.

It's not that he doesn't want to confess, but with this intention in mind, he really can't speak anymore.

After the jailer heard Chen Zique's cry, he quickly went to find Zhang Tang and said happily: "Sir, we've got him."

"what?"

Zhang Tang didn't react at first. He never expected that Zhao Fei and Chen Zique, who were in prison, would confess at this time.

Less than two hours passed before and after this.

Zhang Tang said in surprise: "Who? Zhao Fei?"

"No, it's Chen Zique. Zhao Fei is so scared that he can't even speak clearly."

what?
Zhang Tang was even more shocked. He really didn't know what the criminal method Wei Ning taught him was. It was just a simple trick of dripping water on his forehead. Why was it so powerful?
Zhang Tang quickly led the jailer to the prison. When Zhao Fei's cell was lit, the water droplets on his forehead were removed, and his body was untied.

Zhao Fei was gasping for air, his whole face was bloodless, and his face was as pale as paper. As the jailer said, Zhao Fei was unconscious and could not even speak clearly.

Zhang Tang gasped. He thought he was a master of punishment, but he never knew that he could torture people in this way.

Why exactly? Zhang Tang couldn't figure it out, so he just kept it in his heart.

Immediately he went to Chen Zique's prison again. Chen Zique was a little better than Zhao Fei, but only a little.

"Master Zhang, I said it, I said it!"

"Yes, we wanted to make some money at sea, but we were afraid that other merchants from the southeast would come in and get a share of the pie, so I asked the soldiers from the governor's office to pretend to be pirates and plunder the village..."

Zhang Tang looked at him in disbelief. He really didn't expect that he would confess so easily.

Zhang Tang looked solemn and said to his left and right: "Keep an eye on them."

Immediately, he walked quickly towards the East Palace.

It was already dark, and Wei Ning was still reading in the study, actually waiting for Zhang Tang's arrival.

He didn't know whether his method would succeed, so he could only wait with peace of mind.

"Your Highness, Master Zhang is here."

Wei Ning was stunned for a moment and said, "Let him in."

"Here."

Not long after, Zhang Tang walked in, and his shocked eyes made Wei Ning let out a long sigh of relief.

This is enough to show that he succeeded.

Wei Ning asked Zhang Tang: "Did they recruit?"

Zhang Tang nodded and said, "Okay."

"Chen Zique admitted the evil things they did in the southeast."

At this point, Zhang Tang couldn't help but take a deep breath. If it weren't for Wei Ning's interrogation, he even thought that these two people were innocent.

"They really sent troops to pretend to be pirates and massacre a village in the southeast."

Wei Ning was silent for a moment and said: "Write a letter to Huo Qubing and ask Huo Qubing to go to the governor's office of Kuaiji County to control those soldiers. These are all witnesses."

"Go to Wang Hui again and ask him to send military talismans to Gongsun Ao, and ask Gongsun Ao to mobilize troops to cooperate with Huo Qubing's actions."

Zhang Tang was stunned for a moment and said: "Your Highness, do you want to go and ask for your Majesty's instructions first?" Wei Ning covered his forehead. Only now did he remember that he wanted to inform Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that he was not the emperor yet and could not do anything alone now. Ordered.

"You follow me to Weiyang Palace."

Zhang Tang nodded and said: "Okay!"

Soon, Zhang Tang followed Wei Ning to Weiyang Palace. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had already rested, but was called up by his eunuchs again.

He came to Qilin Hall sleepily and saw Wei Ning and Zhang Tang waiting here, so he asked, "What?"

If they come to Qilin Hall at such an hour, they must have something important to report.

Zhang Tang said: "Your Majesty, Chen Zique and Zhao Fei are recruiting."

Ok?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Tang suspiciously, and said without asking the reason, "What did you say?"

Zhang Tang told Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty exactly what Chen Zique and Zhao Fei had done in Kuaiji County. After hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty showed a hint of displeasure and said angrily: "Go and ask Wang Hui to send military talismans to Gongsun Ao."

"Let Gongsun Ao cooperate with Huo Qubing to go to the Governor's Mansion to arrest people, and let Huo Qubing fix the evidence!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dealt with it in exactly the same way as Weining. Zhang Tang hurriedly said: "Here!"

"Wait a moment."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stopped Zhang Tang and said, "Don't go. Let the prince handle these things."

Wei Ning nodded and said, "Okay!"

He did not continue to stay in Qilin Hall and quickly left Qilin Hall.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stared at Zhang Tang and asked, "Has he been punished?"

Obviously, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suspected that Wei Ning had gone to the prison to be executed. Otherwise, given Zhang Tang's ability, he could not get him to confess, so why could the crown prince do it?

You must know that Zhang Tang is a veteran in charge of torture and extorting confessions. He has no ability to let these two people speak. Why can Wei Ning just go?
Subdued?

In any case, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not blame Weining, so he sent Weining away before asking Zhang Tang about these things.

Zhang Tang did not hide anything, nodded and said: "His Royal Highness is going to be punished."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought for a moment, stood up, put his hands behind his back and began to pace in the Qilin Hall.

He thought for a moment and said: "You can't drag people out and kill them. They have to be dealt with secretly in the Criminal Department."

If they were beheaded in accordance with the laws of the Han Dynasty, the wounds on their bodies would definitely be made public, and the label of being beaten into submission would definitely be removed, which would be detrimental to the court.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had repeatedly warned Weining not to execute him, but he still didn't listen to him and felt a little unhappy.

Now he had to wipe Wei Ning's ass.

"how?"

Seeing that Zhang Tang didn't speak, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stared at him coldly.

You started siding with the Crown Prince while I was still alive?
Zhang Tang hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the prince was tortured, but he did not hurt them."

"Ok?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Zhang Tang in confusion and said, "What do you mean by that? What do you mean by punishing them but not harming them?"

Zhang Tang said: "The Crown Prince... used a rather special torture method."

After he informed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty of Weining's method of water drop punishment, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also seemed incredulous and said in shock: "That's it?"

It's that simple? Confessed?
He clearly didn't do anything, so why did he let the other party confess?
What kind of torture is this? Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not understand.

Zhang Tang said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Yes, that's it."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Take me to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

"Here!"
