Chapter 345 Misleading
Chen Zhengxin's interrogation couldn't go on because he was whipped until he fainted, and he didn't wake up even after pouring cold water on him. As a last resort, he had to be escorted back to the cell.

Before being escorted away, Dali Siqing said, "Lord Ling, I see that this person is bruised and has been poured with cold water. Why don't you give him some medicine and give him a bowl of ginger soup to save him from dying in prison?" Here, we have no way of interrogating even if we want to."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments pondered for a moment, finally nodded, and told the jailer, "Just do what Mr. Zhang said, and don't let him die."

When Chen Zhengxin took him down, Li Shihong was brought up again.

The usual method of the Minister of Criminal Justice is to execute the sentence first, and after the prisoner has endured the pain of flesh and blood, most of them will be easy to speak, so Li Shihong was also whipped thirty times before he could say a word.

When the whip came off, Li Shihong could only cry for his father and mother. In his more than [-] years of life, he had never suffered such a pain.

If he hadn't eaten a good meal delivered by Mr. Li last night, Li Shihong might not have survived the whipping.

After the jailer stopped, Li Shihong was already furious.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice asked lightly, "What are you doing in Qingshan Town?"

Li Shihong replied weakly, "It's just passing by."

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, Dali Siqing, and Doctor Yushi looked at each other, and it was no surprise that the two refused to confess.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice asked again, "Passing by in the middle of the night? Are you going out in the middle of the night?"

Li Shihong replied intermittently, "I wanted to go back to the capital early, and traveled day and night, but missed the town on the way, and didn't want to sleep in the wilderness, so I simply drove all night, thinking that I would wait until the next town, and take a good rest. "

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice sneered sneeringly, "Oh, that's a coincidence. I ran into Chen Zhengxin while driving in the middle of the night? I'm afraid you don't know. We have already interrogated Chen Zhengxin just now, and he has already confessed. You should be honest. Otherwise, the crime will be aggravated, as you know."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice squinted his eyes, and looked at Li Shihong quietly. He thought that a young man like Li Shihong would panic when he heard the confession, and would reveal his flaws.

Li Shihong lowered his head, and his pupils shrank when he heard the words of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. Chen Zhengxin made a confession?

But soon he felt that something was wrong. If Chen Zhengxin really confessed, he would not be interrogated with such ambiguous words.

And even if Chen Zhengxin made a confession, he couldn't admit it, and if he confessed, he couldn't stand up.

At that moment, Li Shihong still lowered his head and replied weakly, "My lord, I am really passing by Qingshan Town, and I don't know anything about Yinzi at all. If I knew that I would encounter robbers and murderers when I was driving in the middle of the night, I would definitely not rush on my way." .”

The guards who accompanied him to find Chen Zhengxin were all dead. As long as he insisted that he was on his way in the middle of the night, even if Chen Zhengxin offered him to come out, he could still say that Chen Zhengxin slandered him, because he knew that the First Prince would definitely not admit money. As long as the eldest prince doesn't admit to this matter, he will have a chance to stand up.

One or two of them opened their eyes and talked nonsense, which made the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment laugh angrily, "Okay, don't say yes, beat me, and give him another thirty lashes."

Li Shihong flinched a bit, and when the whip was whipped on his body, he felt so painful that he really wanted to confess everything for a moment, but he held back in the end, as long as he didn't admit it, everything was fine. room for maneuver.

After Li Shihong couldn't bear it anymore and passed out, this time without Dali Siqing asking, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment ordered him to be given medicine and poured a bowl of ginger soup.

After interrogating for a whole morning, they found nothing. When the three of them walked out of the dungeon, feeling the sun shining on their bodies, Doctor Yushi sighed inaudibly.

The Ministry of Justice's expression was a bit ugly, "These two people are quite hard-spoken."

Dali Siqing looked lazily, and gathered his robes. The gloomy and bloody cell in the sky prison made him very uncomfortable. He let the sun shine on his body straight away, and enjoyed it with his eyes closed. The eldest prince is involved, if you want to ask it out on the first day of interrogation, how can it be so easy."

Seeing Dali Siqing mentioning the eldest prince so straightforwardly, the two were quite surprised.

Dali Siqing opened his eyes and smiled, "Could it be that you really listen to the lies of the two of them? This court can't see who is related to the eldest prince behind this matter, so I'm afraid I have to sue myself and pay my debts." Let’s go to the countryside, so as not to stay in the court, and you don’t know how to die if you are under the black hand.”

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice twitched the corners of his mouth, but Doctor Yushi nodded in agreement.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice frowned, "Even if we can see it, we don't know what the Holy Majesty means. The Holy Majesty asked us to interrogate the three divisions. Is it to let us save the eldest prince, or let us really interrogate the truth?"

He looked at the two of them with inquisitive eyes. After all, it was the joint trial of the three divisions, not the one-spoken court of his criminal department. He had to ask Dali Temple Secretary and Doctor Yushi what they meant about some things. Share it with him.

In this kind of case involving the prince, he only seeks to be innocuous and meritorious.

What's more, he was worried that if the eldest prince would be enthroned in the future, what they did today would definitely make the new emperor despise them. The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice still thought about the governors of the three provinces.As for the official, I don't want my official career to be interrupted.

So it is very important to try to figure out the holy will.

If the Holy Majesty wanted to save the eldest prince, then Chen Zhengxin and Li Shihong would 'be unable to withstand the torture and die'. If the Holy Majesty wanted to really interrogate the truth, then they would not be lenient.

For Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, today's interrogation is too childish. He really hasn't tried his best, otherwise how could it be such a simple interrogation?It's just to explore and put on a show.

Doctor Yushi pondered, what the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment was worried about was also what he was worried about, and it was about the prince, and it was the time when the third prince and the fourth prince were having fun on this matter, sensitive Very much, how the case will be reviewed depends on the will of the Holy Majesty.

The Minister of Dali Temple smiled a few times, causing both the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and the doctor Yushi to look at him. He turned his eyes around the two faces with deep meaning, and said meaningfully, "Liu Liangji, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, was beaten by the Holy One." Into the sky prison, then what do you think His Majesty's intention is?"

After finishing speaking, Dali Siqing shook his sleeves, put his hands in his pockets, and turned to leave.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice and Doctor Yushi were left behind to look at each other, and the two also said their goodbyes and went back to the yamen.

Along the way, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice was thinking deeply about the meaning of Dali Temple Minister's words. The Holy Admiral Liu Liangji was thrown into the sky prison. Could it be that he was dissatisfied with his previous judgment and wanted them to find out the truth?
