I'm dressed as the villain of the novel

Chapter 34 Confession
The people left in Xichang continued to search Liu's house, while Wan Chao took Liu and his son back to Xichang prison.

In prison, Liu Han and his son really felt the panic and fear.

Especially when seeing those blood-stained, dazzling instruments of torture.

"Father... What, what should we do? When will Third Uncle come to rescue us?"

At this moment, Liu Yishan has completely lost the arrogant and domineering appearance just now.

After seeing Wan Chao and the others kill dozens of guards in Liu's mansion, and then being arrested in this gloomy prison, how could he be arrogant?
No matter how aggressive he was in the past, he always bullied others.

Now meeting people like Wan Chao who are not afraid of their Liu family's power at all, Liu Yishan is afraid.

Liu Han was also panicked, but he still comforted his son and said:
"Shan'er, they dare not do anything to us... Your third uncle will definitely come to save us."

Wan Chao walked into the torture room and asked coldly, "Liu Han, are you determined not to say where the account books are hidden?"

Liu Han gritted his teeth, that account book must not be said!

If they say so, they will all be finished, and even the third brother will not be able to save them by then.

He didn't know how they knew the existence of the account books. He had hidden this matter very well.

"Put sticks on them," Wan Chao ordered blankly, "until they agree to speak."

The two were forcibly held down, and when the blood-stained stick was put on his hand, Liu Yishan's face turned pale with fear, and he trembled and said.

"Father...! They really came... ah!!"

Liu Yishan's screams like killing a pig echoed in the execution room.

The people from Xichang were merciless in their execution, and their hands were already dripping with blood within a few strokes.

Fingers connected to heart, few people can bear this kind of severe pain.

What's more, the two of them have always been pampered and never suffered.

Liu Yishan was dripping with cold sweat, his facial features were twisted together by the severe pain, he was the first to cry out unbearably.

"Father! Tell them if you have that account book..."

Liu Yishan, who used to be domineering and domineering in the capital, is now crying for his father and mother.

One of Xichang's subordinates who executed the execution taunted:

"On weekdays, you bully men and women, do all kinds of evil, and you still think how powerful you are, but now you cry like a grandson."

"I... I really don't know the account books! My lord, I am wronged... I really don't know what the account books you are talking about..."

Seeing that Liu Han still refused to speak up to this point, Wan Chao sneered and asked his subordinates to increase the punishment.

The most indispensable thing here in Xichang is the means of torturing people. He would like to see how the father and son can carry it.

Liu Han still gritted his teeth and said he didn't know about the account books.

The pinches made their hands bloody, and they fainted from the pain.

Then splash the person with cold water to wake him up, and put on a whip instead.

There are [-] kinds of instruments of torture in turn, and they will not stop until they are tortured to death.

After all, Liu Han is not a tough guy. The torture in Xichang was less than an hour ago, and his son was screaming in pain beside him...

Under the double torture of body and soul, Liu Han couldn't take it anymore, and confessed where the account book was hidden.

At this time, Liu Yishan was so tormented that he didn't even have the strength to shout.

Hearing his father's confession, he cried hoarsely and complained:

"Father... If you had said it earlier, why would I have been tortured half to death by them?"

He has never suffered such a crime since he grew up.

Now for Wan Chao and the others, there is only deep fear left.

In the past, he often tossed people he didn't like, but now it was his turn to know the painful feeling of living but not dying.

Liu Han's face was pale, his eyes were dark and hopeless.

He knew that if the books were found, they would be dead.

But to endure this torture, which is worse than death, is more terrifying than death...

On the other side, the news reached Jing Zhaoyin and Liu He not long after Liu Han and his son were taken away.

The emperor sent people to stop the vegetable market for execution. Liu He thought that the emperor sent people to arrest Liu Yishan and bring him to justice.

At that time, he found out that Kou Huairen had stabbed his nephew to the emperor, and he held a grudge against Kou Huairen.

If it wasn't for Kou Huairen's meddling, how could the emperor know about such a trivial matter?

The emperor has obviously intervened in this matter now, if he wants to save his nephew, he can only ask Prime Minister Cui for help.

Liu He had also been annoyed with his nephew's behavior for a long time. He planned to teach him a lesson this time, and then he would ask Prime Minister Cui to rescue him.

Even though the emperor noticed the case, Liu He didn't think it was serious.

In the evening, the subordinates came to report that not only Liu Yishan had been arrested at Liu Han's place, but Liu Han had also been taken away, and Liu's house had been extensively searched.

Liu He suddenly felt uneasy, thinking of Liu Han's account book, his expression immediately became flustered.

In Liang Xiping's case, Liu Yishan was involved, why did the emperor send someone to arrest Liu Han as well? !
They also wantonly searched Liu's house. Could it be that they knew about the account books? !
The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. If the account books were found, it would be a big change!
"Prepare your horse quickly! I'm going to Prime Minister Cui's residence now!"

Liu He got up in a hurry, flipped the teacup with his sleeves, and hurried out of the house without even thinking about changing his clothes after the tea splashed on them.

……

According to the clues provided by Liu Han, Wan Chao asked people to search Liu's house, and they found an account book.

The account book was presented to Xin Zhao immediately.

After Xin Zhao read the account book, his face was cold and full of anger.

Xin Zhao said in a cold voice: "The East and West factories are all mobilized, and according to the list in the account book, those officials suspected of corruption will be arrested and brought to justice! No one will be let go!"

Wan Chao bowed his head and took the order: "I obey the order!"

The number of suspected officials on the list is quite large, and the West Factory alone may not be able to handle it.

At the beginning, Zhao Xin appointed Chen Daming as the governor of the East Factory, and Wang Zhi as the deputy governor.

Chen Daming and Wang Zhi are the eunuchs who killed Wang Jin last time.

There are too few characters produced by the system now, so they can only be rewarded for their merits, so as to make the left and right loyal.

Xin Zhao stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed.

Thinking that Liu He's name was not found in the account book, although the corruption of several officials recorded was well-documented, he couldn't help feeling a little ominous.

Having read the original book, he knew that Liu He was a corrupt official.

However, Liu He's name is not found in the account books found now, so it may be difficult to punish him with the account books.

Xin Zhao ordered again: "Father Liu Han and his son continue to torture and find out more evidence of Liu He's corruption!"

Wan Chao took the lead and left.

With the emperor's imperial decree, he summoned the people from the East and West Factory, dispatched troops overnight, and went to the officials' mansions to take people.

Shen Wan had just taken in a young and beautiful concubine recently, and he went straight to the concubine's place after returning home from government affairs.

Before I had time to enjoy it, my wife rushed over with someone.

Shen Wan thought that she was making trouble because of his taking a concubine again, so he lowered his face and was about to reprimand, when Madam said in panic:
"Master is bad! A group of men in black with knives broke into the mansion and said they wanted to arrest you!"

Shen Wan was confused: "Catch me? Who is it?"

Before the words finished, a group of men in black broke in and took down the bewildered Shen Wan directly.

"Shen Wan, the governor of the capital, is suspected of embezzlement and bribery. Xichang ordered him to be arrested and brought to justice!"

Shen Wan was shocked and said angrily: "You guys are framing! When did I embezzle and accept bribes?!"

The other party sneered and said: "Liu Han has recruited them all, the evidence is conclusive, don't try to quibble!"

When Shen Wan heard Liu Han, his whole body froze, as if a basin of ice water was poured over his head, his arrogance was instantly extinguished.
