Chapter 351 Scare
Dali Temple Minister's doubts are very reasonable, and even the minister of the Ministry of punishment and the doctor Yushi had this idea in their minds when they heard the word Lu Guogong.

It’s not once or twice that Duke Lu helped the eldest prince clean up the mess. This time, 20 taels of silver is not a small number. It is reasonable for Duke Lu to kill Chen Zhengxin and Li Shihong for the sake of the eldest prince. There is no proof of death.

But Lu Guogong, as the Duke of the country who holds the military power, is very powerful. Even the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the doctor Yushi didn't want to offend. Hearing the question of the minister of Dali Temple, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice simply pushed the matter out, "Master Fu The concern is not unreasonable, since Mr. Fu interrogated useful clues, why not let Mr. Fu preside over the subsequent interrogations?"

The minister of Dali Temple presides over the interrogation. If it is found that it is related to Duke Lu, then the minister of Dali Temple will confront Duke Lu and has nothing to do with him.Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment made a good plan.

The Minister of Dali Temple glanced at the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and understood his thoughts, but he did not refuse, "Success, then let me preside over the trial."

The three of them agreed, and the Minister of Dali Temple raised his voice and ordered, "Bring He Zhu up."

He Zhu brought it up, and Dali Siqing looked cold, "It's so cold in the middle of the night, and you can't go home because of you young people. I'm very sleepy. I just want to interrogate the truth quickly and go home. An Xie, I don't like nonsense, if I ask you anything, you should answer honestly."

Dali Temple Minister paused, and continued, "Tell me, how did you poison it?"

He Zhu looked anxious, and hurriedly defended himself, "My lord, the villain was wronged, and it wasn't the villain who delivered the food to the two prisoners, how could it be the villain who poisoned him?"

The minister of Dali Temple smiled coldly, "You are still stubborn when you are about to die. Cheng, I could show you evidence now to make you give up, but this official will first salute and then serve. If you don't eat a toast, you will be punished. If you come, you will be whipped thirty times first." , Let him wake up, maybe he is too sleepy, his mind is not clear, and his speech is still confused."

The Beiya imperial guards responded, soaked the whip in the pepper water first, and then gave He Zhu a hard whip. The barb on the whip scraped off a layer of skin and flesh of He Zhu, not to mention the pepper water stained on the whip. It also stimulated the flesh, causing He Zhu to scream out in pain.

The minister of Dali Temple watched without changing his face, and the doctor Yushi couldn't bear to turn his head away, the screams were really horrifying.The Minister of the Ministry of Justice twitched the corners of his mouth secretly, suddenly feeling a sense of crisis, why did he see that Dali Siqing was more suitable for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice than him?
Thirty lashes later, the Beiya imperial guards stopped, He Zhu's voice was already hoarse, Dali Temple Minister said indifferently: "Do you still remember the handkerchief that was found on your body?"

He Zhu originally lowered his head, but when he heard this, his heart tightened, and panic flashed across his eyes, and then he raised his head, trying to calm himself down, "Remember."

Dali Siqing smiled, "Just remember."

Beckoning for the Beiya Guards to bring a bowl of water, Dali Temple Qing raised his chin towards the bowl of water, "Here, your handkerchief was soaked in that bowl of water, I see your mouth is dry and your lips are chapped, you need to drink some water Moisturize your throat, come, drink it, and we'll come back for interrogation after drinking it."

He Zhu's scalp felt numb all of a sudden. He Zhu twitched the corner of his mouth when he saw the bowl being brought closer and closer by the Beiya Imperial Army, "My lord, how can you drink the water soaked in the handkerchief? It's so dirty, why don't you drink it?" Give me another bowl of water?"

The Minister of Dali Temple sneered, "It is already my kindness to have water for you to drink. How can there be so many demands?"

He Zhu was full of resistance, looking at the bowl filled with water was like looking at a scourge, and said with a dry smile, "Thank you for your kindness, I am not thirsty now, so I don't need to drink water for now."

Dali Siqing suddenly changed his face, and his face sank, "Do you think you have room to refuse? You have to drink it if you are not thirsty. If you don't drink it, you can tell me honestly, otherwise you should drink a few sips of water honestly."

He Zhu looked at the bowl brought in front of him, and his expression flashed violently. He looked at the bowl of water, and then at the cold-faced Dali Siqing. He was betting whether Dali Siqing was using the bowl. The water was frightening him.

"Do you think I'm scaring you?" Dali Siqing saw through his thoughts at a glance, sneered, and waved his hand again, "Didn't you catch a lot of roosters earlier? Grab a live one and feed it to that rooster." Take a sip of water."

The two Beiya imperial guards opened the rooster's beak, fed the rooster with a small mouthful of water, and then let go of the rooster. After a while, the rooster fell to the ground and could not rest in peace.

The Minister of Dali Temple clapped his hands, "Okay, since you refuse to confess honestly, I don't bother to talk nonsense, if it is a dead man, no matter how I ask you, you won't make a fool of yourself, then drink this bowl It's a shame, if you die, I can go home and have a rest, anyway, I already have enough evidence in my hands, so I don't miss you."

After He Zhu saw that the rooster was dead, his complexion turned pale. Looking at the Dali Siqing who did not change his face, a chill appeared in his heart. At this moment, he no longer dared to doubt Dali Siqing's words, but he knew that he was not the only one who did it. , if other people recruit, Dali Siqing will indeed have evidence in his hand.

To recruit or not to recruit?
The Beiya imperial guards held the bowl in one hand and grabbed his chin with the other. With great effort, his mouth opened involuntarily. Seeing that the bowl was about to be handed to his mouth, and the minister of Dali Temple was still as stable as Mount Tai, He Zhu's His mentality suddenly collapsed, tears fell down in a flash, he shook his head desperately, and said vaguely: "I recruit. I recruit all of them."

The Imperial Army of the Beiya let go, and turned to look at Dali Siqing.

But Dali Temple Minister looked regretfully at the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice and Doctor Yushi, "I thought it was a dead man, and then I will tell the Holy Master that they committed suicide by taking poison. We can't find out the truth, and we don't have to offend the people behind the scenes. The Holy Majesty wants to vent his anger on their families, if we confess now, won’t we offend others?”

The minister of the Ministry of punishment and the doctor Yushi twitched the corners of their mouths cryptically, watching Dali Siqing silently taking advantage of the advantage and acting like a good boy.

But when He Zhu heard the word family, his expression panicked, he was afraid that the minister of Dali Temple really didn't dare to offend Lu Guogong and wanted to kill him directly, so he hurriedly shouted, "I'm recruiting, we were ordered by Lu Guogong, The bowls and chopsticks of Chen Zhengxin and Li Shihong were poisoned. As long as they touched the bowls and chopsticks, they could not escape. After they were poisoned, we sneaked into the cell and wiped the poison off the bowls and chopsticks with a handkerchief. It has nothing to do with us when we trace them. .”

He just didn't expect to take away the handkerchiefs that were searched from them, and even tested the handkerchiefs to be poisonous, otherwise how would they be exposed?
Dali Siqing raised his eyebrows, "You? Who else do you have?"

Having said all that, of course He Zhu wanted to drag others into the water together, and replied directly, "There is also Qin Xiang."
