Chapter 360 Interrogation
Xie Li had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but it didn't show on his face.

"The snacks at Xinglongzhai are naturally delicious. Everyone in Bingzhou knows that my concubine prefers the snacks at Xinglongzhai. She has caught a cold and has a poor appetite these days, so I went to Xinglongzhai to buy some snacks to coax her to take medicine."

"Master He, what's going on?" Xie Li glanced at the people around him, his face full of confusion.

Seeing him like this, Tui Guan He couldn't help but laugh: "Shuli Xie is really as steady as a rock. Since he is so steady, I think he is not afraid of the torture chamber. Come on, please invite Shuli Xie to the torture chamber to have a seat."

After that, without giving Xie Li a chance to speak again, someone came forward and carried Xie Li to the torture room.

Xie Li was being escorted, with a look of panic and confusion on his face, and he kept asking Judge He what this meant.

But his mind was rapidly turning over thoughts, wondering where he had revealed his flaws, how much he had revealed, and how to make it clear -

In the grim torture chamber, although there was not a trace of blood, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood and rust. People who were used to the smell might not think there was anything wrong with it, but those who came here for the first time with a weak stomach could not help but feel nauseous.

It just so happened that Xie Li was one of these people. Therefore, as soon as he entered the torture room, he was tied to the tiger bench that had been used by countless people. He started vomiting in a few breaths and vomited all over the place.

He couldn't smell the blood, but the disgusting smell of filth was spreading, and Tui Guan He was about to vomit.

He frowned and couldn't help but doubt his own judgment. Could the man who vomited out of fear when he entered the torture room be a traitor?
But it’s better to vomit out of fear. Only when you are scared will you confess honestly, right?

At a glance from Magistrate He, the yamen runners came forward and quickly cleaned up the place. The doors and windows were opened, and the smell in the room dissipated a lot.

"Tell me, where is Huang San? Who else is your accomplice in this government office?"

Xie Li felt uncomfortable in his mouth after vomiting, and urgently needed a glass of water to rinse his mouth. But seeing the look on Tuiguan He's face, he didn't think much of it. "What do you mean by that, Lord He? I'm not familiar with Huang San at all, why do you suspect me, Lord He?"

He Tuiguan snorted coldly, "I think you won't cry until you see the coffin. Are you being stubborn? If I really don't have any evidence, can I take you to the torture room without saying anything?"

After saying this, Tui Guan He raised his hand.

After a moment, screams were heard from the torture room next door.

"Listen, does this voice sound familiar to you?"

When Xie Li heard the scream, his pupils shrank slightly. This... Xu Sui!

Why was Xu Sui arrested?
Xie Li felt confused.

At first he was not sure whether this was a trap or not, so in order to avoid falling into the trap and exposing Zhu Dan, he did not go to Ji Sheng Pharmacy in person, but asked Xu Sui to go and report the news.

He did not meet Xu Sui in person, but just stopped at the door of Xinglongzhai and looked at Xu Sui from a distance. Xu Sui naturally understood what he meant, as this was the secret signal that had been agreed upon long ago.

Even if someone was following him all the way, he had no contact with Xu Sui from beginning to end. How was Xu Sui caught?
Xu Sui was arrested, but what about Zhu Dan?
"Master He, what do you mean by this? I don't understand. Is there someone I know next door? The voice doesn't sound like someone I know."

Seeing that he was still stubborn, Tuiguan He could not help but say, "There are traitors in the government office who are planning to behead Deng Fei and others. Not many people knew about this in advance, so we can get a rough idea with a simple investigation. I suspect more than you, but I don't have any evidence to prove it, so I set up a trap to see who would take the bait.

Sure enough, when you heard that one of the rebels couldn't bear it anymore and confessed, you couldn't sit still and immediately asked for leave. You wanted to go and tell the news, right? I was waiting for you to tell the news. Since you left the government office, your every move has been under my surveillance.

There would be nothing suspicious if I lifted the curtain and looked outside while waiting for the driver to buy snacks in front of Xinglongzhai, but at this moment, your every move is worthy of suspicion, so I became more cautious and sent people to keep an eye on the shops opposite Xinglongzhai.

It was really a blessing in disguise. Not long after your carriage left, Xu Sui, the owner of Xu's Tavern, hurried back and went out through the back door. The tavern was doing a booming business with many people buying wine and they were so busy that they couldn't handle it. He left suddenly. Isn't this a big problem?

So, my people followed him and followed him all the way to Jisheng Pharmacy - ha! Previously, we only knew that there was a drugstore in the city that was a base of the rebels, but we didn't know which one it was. We were trying hard to investigate it. You really helped us a lot this time and gave us a big gift!
Right now, not only Xuji Wine Shop has been sealed by the government, Jisheng Pharmacy has also been sealed, and your house is also being sealed. Xie Li, if I were you, I would explain everything honestly now to avoid being punished. "

Xie Li listened, his heart was in turmoil, he didn't expect this was really a trap, not only did he fall for it, but he also easily exposed Xu Sui and Zhu Dan -

They had been lurking in Daming Prefecture for many years and had not taken any major action. Only when they encountered trouble did they realize that their lurking, which they thought was secret, was actually a piece of cake for the government to investigate.

All the planning over the years in Daming Prefecture has come to nothing!

He was careless, it was his fault.

Xie Li was in great distress, but admitting his guilt? Confessing? Impossible!
No one can hear a single word from him.

Tuiguan He had been paying attention to Xie Li's expression as he listened to what he said, not missing a single reaction. Seeing that he remained calm from beginning to end, he admired him.

But suddenly, seeing movement in his mouth, Tui Guan He was startled, and reacted quickly, stepped forward, pinched his mouth, and took out a black object from his back teeth.

He Tui Guan broke out in a cold sweat after successfully stopping the incident. Fortunately, he was lucky.

He also didn't expect that this man was such a tough guy that he had poison in his mouth. Only a tough guy would do this, but Xie Li was obviously not a tough guy.

Then, it means that this is an important big fish, and he must know a lot!

He Tuiguan became excited, disposed of the poison, looked at Xie Li and said, "Want to die? It's not that easy. After all, you have been in the government office for so long, and you haven't experienced my methods yourself, right? Don't worry, I will slowly let you taste it today."

-

Several rebels committed suicide right under the nose of Tui Guan He, which made Tui Guan very angry, as he was also holding back on his energy.

Here, it was finally possible for He Tuiguan to make a great contribution.

Ji Sheng Pharmacy was the rebels' stronghold in Daming Prefecture. Captain Lu led his men in a thunderous attack, catching Zhu Dan off guard. He rushed in just as Xu Sui and Zhu Dan met, arrested both of them, and sealed up Ji Sheng Pharmacy and Xu Ji Liquor Store, and captured several shop assistants and pharmacists.

A secret room was also discovered in Jisheng Pharmacy, but no letters or the like were found.

After interrogation, it was found that the assistants and the medicine boy were just minions and knew nothing. The only three who knew the truth, Xie Li, Xu Sui and Zhu Dan, were more stubborn than the other and refused to utter a word even under torture, just like Deng Fei.

Fortunately, the search of Xie's house yielded some results, and Huang San, who had been hunted for many days without success, was caught in a dark room.
