Chapter 994 "Friendship" Reminder

Wen Chun and Xu Zuo, two bigwigs from the former Metropolitan Procuratorate, were among the first to be arrested.

They were put under semi-house arrest during Shen Yiguan's time. After Xiao Ruxun took power, they were completely abandoned. As a result, they became the first batch of officials arrested this time and were thrown into the Central Investigation Department for strict review.

Of course, no one sympathized with them. The reputation of Ke Dao officials was rotten in the early Ming Dynasty. They were just a bunch of mad dogs. They died as soon as they died. No one cared. They just hoped that the emperor would not burn themselves.

Although the arrested Kodao officials were terrified, they thought it was just a simple interrogation. After all, they were all abandoned. What big disturbance could there be?They didn't know if they were the ones who assassinated Zhao Shiqing in a daze, and they were also very flustered.

But when they entered the prison of the Central Investigation Department, they realized that something was wrong.

No, no, no!

This dark and humid environment, these familiar and cruel instruments of torture... these people with unkind faces... this weird atmosphere...

This is completely the Imperial Prison of the former Ming Dynasty Guards! ! !

They collapsed in an instant.

After the fall of the former Ming Dynasty, some people who belonged to Jinyiwei and Dongchang did not die. They successfully survived Shen Yiguan's purge of the internal servants and Xiao Ruxun's purge of Jinyiwei, and survived.

Later, under Xiao Ruxun's instruction, they were secretly incorporated into the Heizhen system by Zhou Yao, and turned into Heizhen's spies.

After these professionals from the former Dongchang and Jinyiwei joined Heizhen, they quickly improved Heizhen's professional level. Heizhen quickly changed from a ten-year-old child to a strong young man of 25 or [-] years old, possessing extremely strong strength. .

The most direct manifestation is that the Central Investigation Department has fully inherited the various instruments and methods of torture from Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

By the way, Zhou Yao also got books that specifically explained how to deal with those "loyal ministers and martyrs", and how to find the most vulnerable places in a person to defeat his psychological and physical defenses. These kinds of secrets opened Zhou Yao's eyes.

It has to be said that Jinyiwei and Dongchang are the most professional when it comes to reviewing and punishing people. They have specialized in punishing people for hundreds of years. This professional level has benefited Zhou Yao and the new student Heizhen a lot.

They decided to take this political turmoil as the first step for the black poison to become famous.

Xiao Ruxun characterized this operation as a "big purge".

As the most powerful cleaning tool in Xiao Ruxun's hands, Zhou Yao must fulfill the duty of cleaning the world.

So those mad dogs finally found something that could restrain them.

Since that day, there have been constant crashing sounds in the prison of the Central Investigation Department, roaring, shouting, crying, all kinds of sounds are intertwined, and normal people will probably go crazy when they hear it.

But if these professionals come to listen, they may be able to find out the deficiencies, find those parts that have not been punished, and punish them to make their voices more perfect and sound more pleasing to the ear.

Zhou Yao felt that it was a little bit hard to watch, but he still forcibly calmed down, let himself watch the whole process, and exercised his psychological endurance. He thought that he would be with this kind of thing in the future, and he had to get used to it and not let his majesty disappointment.

From the third day, Zhou Yao began to pass on the "interrogation results" to Xiao Ruxun.

The first accomplice to be confessed was Gu Dali, Marquis of Zhenyuan.

A spokesperson really couldn't bear the torture, so he blurted out the name of Zhenyuan Hou Gu Dali, saying that Gu Dali was involved in this matter, and Zhou Yao immediately informed Xiao Ruxun of this "amazing gain".

Xiao Ruxun was "furious" and "shattered the tea bowl in his hand", and immediately ordered the arrest of Gu Dali, Marquis of Zhenyuan, for torture and interrogation.

This political storm began to affect the nobles.

Zhenyuan Hou Gu Dali became the first noble to be arrested, and was thrown into the prison of the Central Investigation Department during the collapse, and began the journey of further collapse.

It is a great honor that he became the first honorable person to enjoy the combination package of the Investigation Department.

"Say! Who is behind the scenes?!"

The big man wearing a hungry ghost mask who was in charge of the torture waved a leather whip soaked in pepper water in his hand, and lashed at Gu Dali's delicate skin and tender flesh one whip at a time.

Needless to say, this guy is white and fat, with loose flesh on his body. It looks like he was spoiled and pampered and raised in rich clothes. He has never experienced any setbacks. This is probably the first time anyone has ever seen times, so when he saw this formation, he was so frightened that he peed his pants.

But even incontinence can't escape this ending. The big man brandished a whip and whipped him. He let out a scream like a pig being killed, and he couldn't tell whether it was tears or snot on his face. up.

Whenever someone asks him who is behind the scenes and asks him to explain quickly, he will only say——

"I don't know! I don't know! I don't know who did it! I don't! I don't!!"

He only knows how to talk like this, of course it's fine, after being repaired like this for two days, he can't even speak very well, and he doesn't know what he is talking about.

It even feels a little crazy.

Possibly insane.

"He's not really crazy, is he?"

Zhou Yao looked at Gu Dali, who was no longer recognizable as a human being, and asked the former senior staff of Jinyiwei Prison beside him.

The senior staff observed Gu Dali for a while, and then looked at Zhou Yao with a flattering expression.

"Based on my subordinate's many years of experience, this is a demonic obstacle. Only the method of castration can restore him to normal. Please rest assured, sir. Although I am a lowly person, I can do it well with the magic method of castration. The eunuch in the inner court back then We all know my skills, and I often ask me to help castrate those new little guys."

Zhou Yao wanted to laugh, so he nodded.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, let him return to normal as soon as possible, there are still many things for him to do!"

"As ordered."

This guy got the tools used for castration, and then burned the knife for castration on a candle, which was regarded as disinfection, and then he got Gu Dali under control, took off his pants, and aimed at the delicate where.

"Don't! Don't! Don't! I know who did it! I know who did it! I know! I say! I say! Don't castrate me! Don't castrate me!!!!"

Gu Dali's psychological defense finally collapsed.

Zhou Yao nodded in satisfaction.

"A reward of ten taels of silver."

The senior employees were overjoyed and knelt down to thank them.

Afterwards, Zhou Yao looked at Gu Dali.

"Gu Hou, why don't you just tell me honestly? Now that this is happening, I really feel sorry for you!"

Gu Dali looked at Zhou Yao with fearful eyes, trembling all over.

"Who is behind the scenes?"

Zhou Yao smiled coldly.

"I...I...I..."

Gu Dali trembled all over and couldn't speak.

"It seems that Gu Hou's memory is not very good, so let me help you recall. The mastermind behind this matter is Zhu Yinghuai, the Duke of Cheng. Take action against Zhao Shiqing, and even decide to hook up a group of people to rebel together!"

Gu Dali was frightened and trembling, but he was not crazy.

Zhu Yinghuai...Zhu Yinghuai...

This... is this asking me to give false testimony?

"Cheng...Cheng Guogong...he..."

"He is the mastermind behind the scenes, and he is the mastermind behind the scenes. It was he who ordered his family's cronies to use the standard crossbow arrows in the army to kill Zhao Shiqing in order to threaten His Majesty to gain power. If not, he decided to launch a rebellion and kill His Majesty. Be enthroned as emperor."

Seeing that his memory is not very good, Zhou Yao reminded him again.
