Chapter 362 Harvest
"Then there's nothing to be learned from the trial?"

"I'm afraid that even if I torture them again, I still won't get anything out of them, and these three people will die under torture."

Shi Liu paused, "I do have a way. If they still say nothing after using this method, then I guess there's nothing to say."

Liu Dongjia became interested. "Oh? What's the solution? Tell me quickly. I'll go to the government office to find Prefect Cheng."

……

After another round of interrogation, Xie Li remained stubborn.

Judge He was a little annoyed and asked, "You really don't want to say anything?"

Xie Li responded with a silent smile, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear: Don't even think about getting a single word from me.

He Tuiguan stared at him for a long while, then smiled, "Let's see how long you can keep your mouth shut."

After saying that, he turned and walked out.

Xie Li thought that just like before, someone would soon come and take him back to the cell, where he would be able to get a brief period of peace.

But soon someone came in, but he did not take him back to the cell. Instead, he lit candles in the dim torture room. The flickering flames illuminated the entire torture room with astonishing brightness.

He had been in a dim environment for the past few days, and it suddenly became so bright. Xie Li squinted his eyes uncomfortably, wondering what the hell he was trying to do.
You know what, it’s really warm with so many flames surrounding us.

Xie Li couldn't help but yawn. The pain in his whole body was wrapped in the warmth, making him drowsy.

"Bang!"
'Bang! Bang! Bang! '

The sound of a gong suddenly rang out, startling Xie Li and instantly driving away his drowsiness.

He looked expressionlessly at the bailiff who was carrying the gong and walked out, and thought to himself: What is he trying to do?
After a while, Xie Li felt sleepy again and closed his eyes.

'Bang! '

'Bang! Bang! Bang! '

Once again I was awakened by the sound of a gong.

Whenever he fell asleep, he would be woken up immediately. After repeating this several times, Xie Li felt numb and groggy, and his eyes were dry.

It's like being woken up suddenly when you're dozing off, with your head buzzing.

The flames that had seemed warm before now felt really uncomfortable shining on my body after being woken up repeatedly, and they also stung my dry eyes and made them feel very uncomfortable.

Xie Li could only squint his eyes and endure it with a tingling scalp.

What he didn't know was that his companions Xu Sui and Zhu Dan were also having a hard time.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Zhu Dan could hardly keep his eyes open, but some people on his left and right were singing and talking in loud voices, and there were also people beating drums and blasting suonas. All the sounds mixed together almost shattered his ears and numbed his brain, making him almost unable to think.

-

"Hey, Master Liu's method is really effective. I think if we continue like this for another two days, someone will definitely give up!"

He Tuiguan said in an admiring tone: "Why didn't we think of this before? This is how they torture prisoners. They keep people awake from sleep from morning till night, and wake them up immediately if they fall asleep. Isn't this torture?"

"I think Xu Sui can't hold on any longer!"

Lord Yan was also impressed. He thought that if he used this method in the future, it would cause great damage to people without shedding blood or hurting the skin. It would be more useful than beating people to a bloody pulp.

It's just a waste of time and effort.

——Five days passed.

For the past five days, Xie Li and the other two stayed in a room that was lit with candles for twelve hours a day. They were either woken up by the sound of gongs as soon as they fell asleep, or unable to fall asleep because of the noisy sounds of all kinds of people talking at once, or they were tortured, tortured, and tortured without any time to breathe.

Not only that, his eating, drinking, defecating and urinating were also controlled.

After sixty hours of physical, mental and psychological torture, Xu Sui was the first to collapse. In his mental disorder, he finally confessed under the interrogation of Judge He.

"Besides Xie Li, are there any other people from your team in the government office?"

"Have"

"Who?"

"Constables Liu Chong and Wang Jia."

"Do you still have a base in Damingfu City?"

"There is a red building."

"Who is your master?"

"He is a descendant of Prince Yude. He is the orthodox royal family of Li."

Whenever Judge He asked a question, someone would immediately report it to Lord Yan. When Xu Sui had vomited out everything he needed to, he fell asleep. Outside, Liu Chong and others whom Xu Sui had accused had already been arrested. Yihonglou was also quickly surrounded by Captain Lu and his men, and the brothel owner and others were all arrested.

A day later, Xie Li and Zhu Dan also collapsed one after another, and the former went crazy due to mental disorder.

It is impossible to determine whether he is really crazy or not. Xie Li is crying, laughing, and talking nonsense. If you test him, it seems that he is eating shit and drinking urine. He is really not like a normal person. In this situation, don't expect to get anything out of him. So just put him in a deep cell and observe him first.

As for Zhu Dan, in addition to confessing what Xu Sui had confessed, he knew more than Xu Sui. For example, as the incense master guarding Daming Prefecture, Zhu Dan gave out his superiors, and all the letters sent by carrier pigeons were sent to Fengji Lantern Shop in the state capital, as well as Mo Wenbing, the hall master who was responsible for guarding Bingzhou.

The rebels’ lair is in Cangzhou.

This time it was a big harvest.

Immediately, the prefect Cheng secretly sent someone to the provincial capital to hand the secret letter to Lord Wang, the right governor.

After receiving the secret letter, Lord Wang immediately took action, arrested Mo Wenbing, who was then the Right Counselor of the Provincial Administration, and sealed off Fengji Lantern Shop and captured several traitors.

When the news reached the capital, the whole court was in an uproar!
The remnants of the previous dynasty that were wiped out during the reign of the previous emperor turned out to be reborn like wildfire?

It has been silent for decades or even worse, even the councilor of a provincial government is a traitor. He is a fourth-rank official, in charge of grain storage, water conservancy and other matters of the state!

What is the hall master, incense master, and helmsman? Bingzhou has hall masters, but what about other states? The hall master in Bingzhou is a fourth-rank official, but what about other states?
Is there anyone like him among the emperor's courtiers? Is there anyone like him in the imperial palace?

There might be traitors among the ministers he faced in court every day, and there might also be traitors among the palace maids and eunuchs around him. It's really terrifying when you think about it!
The enemy has quietly infiltrated the entire Jin Dynasty, but he has just found out about it. How can Emperor Ruikang not be angry?
Immediately, Emperor Ruikang secretly ordered Jinyiwei Commander Chen Ju to conduct a secret investigation and make sure to catch all the traitors lurking among the ministers and petty officials.

At the same time, he ordered General Zhaowei Bai Xing to lead troops to Cangzhou to eliminate the rebels and capture Li Yan, the descendant of Prince Yude.

While making these countermeasures, Emperor Ruikang couldn't help but feel relieved about his son Zhao Zhen.

It is said that this time, we were able to discover the traces of the rebels, destroy their strongholds in Bingzhou and capture countless rebels, all thanks to this son.

In comparison, the second brother who went to the south seemed particularly disgraceful because he was too competitive but had no brains to investigate an old case, which led to the victim risking his life to assassinate him.

Ruikangdi shook his head, with his own thoughts in mind.
