Nightwatcher

Nangong Qianrou was in charge of the torture in the Yamen of the Warden. This dead ladyboy was very vicious. She created hundreds of inhuman torture methods and ordered craftsmen to create more than a hundred new torture tools.

Contribute to Dafeng's torture methods.

One of them is called standing punishment, in which a large iron tuo is hung on the prisoner's neck. After a long time, the prisoner's neck will become a little bit sore and painful, and he will not be able to support it.

However, the prisoner was not allowed to rest and was forced to stand, which can be described as painful. Within two days, the person died in endless pain.

There are also criminal laws like Xu Qi'an's that explode the liver and cultivate immortals. It is said that they are inspired by the promotion of the gods. This kind of criminal law is so painful, Xu Qi'an feels the same.

He relied on meditation and meditation, and he was already in great pain, which ordinary people can imagine.

In the "Compendium of Criminal Law" written by Nangong Qianrou, there are hundreds of such criminal laws for cutting flesh with blunt knives.

Although Jiang Lvzhong is not the kind of interrogation madman like Nangong Qianrou who is proficient in 108 postures, he still understands some of the tormenting tortures under the influence of his ears and eyes.

Liang Youping stared at Jiang Luzhong silently, their eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, but Liang Youping, who had no cultivation base, was quickly defeated.

He looked away and said with a self-deprecating smile: "It seems that I have no choice."

Governor Zhang and Jiang Lvzhong didn't speak, they stared at him expressionlessly. Since this man fell into his hands, even a stone could make him speak.

Liang Youping glanced at Xu Qi'an, patted his limped leg, and said leisurely: "I didn't lie to you, this leg was indeed broken by someone, but the one who saved me was not Zhou Min.

"I was born in Yunzhou. As long as I can remember, I know that banditry in Yunzhou is serious and the common people suffer from it. My dream when I was young was to practice martial arts and become a hero who wields swords and kills bandits.

"But I was poor in culture and rich in martial arts, and my poor family couldn't afford me to practice martial arts, so I had to study. I failed in the exam twice, so I threw my pen into the army and joined the army."

Before the dream started, I was defeated by reality. Fortunately, I have my second uncle who feeds me with hundreds of taels of silver every year, otherwise I would only study like Erlang. It is right for my aunt to hate me.

Xu Qi'an felt emotional in his heart.

And with Xu Dalang's aptitude, what can he do with studying? Probably not any stronger than Xu Lingyin.

"One year, in Baidi City, I saw a yamen bullying women in the street. I was angry and attacked, but he was outnumbered and was broken by his followers. The yamen felt disappointed and didn't want to let me go. He ordered someone to take me away. Get out of town and be buried alive, that's the time

"The lord appeared. He asked the guards accompanying me to save me, arrested Ya Nei, and gave me justice."

Xu Qi'an and the others realized that that lord should be the person Liang Youping is loyal to, and nine out of ten he is the mastermind behind the scenes.

Liang Youping raised his head, met Governor Zhang's gaze, and said word by word: "The chief envoy of Yunzhou, Song Changfu."

""

The room was silent.

Governor Zhang had a rather strange expression, surprised but not surprised. After all, in Baidi City, officials of rank four or above may be behind the scenes.

The governor has long been prepared in his heart, and there will be no "surprised" reaction.

"It's him"

However, Governor Zhang's heart is still very heavy, and the commander of the capital, Yang Chuannan, has already been involved in the case. Now there is one more chief envoy.

Yunzhou officialdom is really rotten from the ground up.

"Who caught you?" Xu Qi'an took advantage of the gap and asked.

"I don't know." Liang Youping shook his head, with a blank expression on his face: "That day, not long after you left, I chased away the private prostitutes in the shop, locked the door and left. As soon as I walked out of Huangbo Street, I was knocked unconscious.

"When I woke up, I found myself locked in a small dark room with a sack on my head. I couldn't help but eat and drink in the small dark room. Someone delivered me meals at regular intervals. Later, I They were taken to the Escort Bureau and sent to you."

"Didn't see that person's face clearly?" Xu Qi'an asked.

Liang Youping shook his head.

Liang Youping disappeared after we left, and then, three days later, people from the Witchcraft Sect interrogated Liang Youping in his dreams to see if Liang Youping had fallen into the hands of the watchman. It was discovered that Liang Youping was missing, and it was not until he returned to Baidi City that he realized that the little brother had lost contact.

Xu Qi'an suddenly realized.

Governor Zhang tapped his finger on the table, "Continue."

"Since then, I have followed the chief minister of Song Dynasty. At that time, he was not the chief minister of Yizhou." Talking about the past, Liang Youping's eyes revealed memories:

"As Song Changfu became more and more powerful, I, a cripple, followed suit and became the experience manager of today's experience department, achieving the sixth rank.

"It was also Song Changfu's recommendation that I joined the Qi Party. But this identity is invisible. Zhou Min is the dark son of the gangster's yamen, and I am the dark son of the Qi Party.

"The Qi Party transports military supplies to bandits, and must pass the test of the Experience Department. These years, I have been working for the Song Chief Envoy, secretly changing the account books, and embezzling military supplies."

"Before, I kept saying that I dreamed of becoming a hero and killing all bandits. Now I have become a villain who helps the evildoers." Xu Qi'an couldn't help but mock.

Liang Youping has become the kind of person he hates the most.

Regarding Xu Qi'an's ridicule, Liang Youping chose to remain silent.

Governor Zhang narrowed his eyes and asked, "Then what happened to Yang Chuannan? He is also the Qi Party, why did you frame him?"

Liang Youping shook his head: "I don't know about these things, I only know that he is not close to the Qi Party. Song Buzheng revealed that Yang Chuannan was originally a chess piece that the Qi Party placed on the surface, and he could abandon it at any time."

Xu Qi'an, who took the blame, defined Yang Chuannan in his heart.

"If there is no Zhou Min, the conspiracy in Yunzhou will continue." Liang Youping shook his head and laughed: "Perhaps this is because Skynet is not leaking. Speaking of it, Zhou Min and I have a good relationship, and we often drink together after we leave.

"It's just that I didn't expect that he was the dark son of the gangster, and I was the dark son of the Qi party. How else can I say that people's hearts are in the belly."

Liang Youping seemed to have opened up the chatter box, and he didn't need to be interrogated by Governor Zhang, so he just spit out what he knew.

"Zhou Min is a very smart person, and he is extremely sensitive to numbers. After we realized that he found that the account books were wrong, I came forward to win him over and made a promise."

Jiang Lvzhong leaned back on the chair comfortably, "He refused?"

"No." Liang Youping said hesitantly: "He agreed straight away and was willing to join forces. It's just that he didn't expect that the so-called wooing was just a superficial effort, but it was actually a test of him, and he found out something after the test.

"Zhou Min is also just a plan to delay the attack. He turned his head and wrote a secret report to shake things out."

This is the operation of an IQ online Yin Zi. Replace it with the routine in the TV series. Zhou Min was willing to define and reject Xu Qi'an to keep his brain active by making complaints. He couldn't help but say:

"In fact, he already has a premonition that you are going to kill people to silence you."

"Smart people naturally have the consciousness of smart people. He could have escaped, although he couldn't." Liang Youping raised his chin.

These words seem to be talking about himself, he is also the smart person who has a premonition of his own destiny, since he can't escape, he doesn't bother to escape.

"After the Dongchuang incident, Song Buzheng pushed Yang Chuannan to take the blame according to the established plan. While making arrangements secretly, he waited for the arrival of the governor."

Upon hearing this, Governor Zhang questioned: "Then, why did you stay in the dog meat shop at No. 15 Ding in person? There should be evidence against Song Buzheng in the account books."

"Yes, there are several military supplies in the account book that were transferred from the chief envoy to the capital commander. As for why I stayed on Ding 15, this is the order I received." Liang Youping replied.

This is unreasonable!

Xu Qi'an frowned, and looked at the three white-clothed warlocks: "Is his words believable?"

The three white-clothed warlocks shook their heads: "I can't see through it, his aura is covered up, and the qi-watching technique can't pry into it."

Xu Qi'an was startled at first, and then realized that Liang Youping had been tampered with, and someone covered up his fate for him.

No. 4 said that warlocks have the means to restrain wizards, and it is precisely because of this shield that Liang Youping avoided curse killing and divination.

"Ning Yan, what do you want to say?"

Although Xu Qi'an's intelligence has declined severely, Governor Zhang still hopes to hear more from him.

"It was a wrong decision to let Liang Youping work in the dog meat shop. I think that with the scheming of Song Buzheng, he would not make such a low-level mistake." Xu Qi'an talked eloquently:

"Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this is a provocation. After all, if the mysterious expert hadn't kidnapped Liang Youping, even if we knew something was wrong, we wouldn't be able to find anything.

"In the end, we can only bring Yang Chuannan back to Beijing with solid evidence."

Whether it was a provocation or another reason, it is temporarily impossible to determine unless Song Changfu is confronted face to face.

But that mysterious master, Xu Qi'an has doubts about the candidate, and that is the force king Yang Qianhuan. First of all, he only knew such a high-quality warlock. Secondly, although there are casual cultivators outside, they can shield their energy and hide from Jiang Luzhong's perception. This strength is not something ordinary casual cultivators can achieve.

This is just like in the previous life, those who can enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences are definitely highly educated talents, and it is impossible for wild bachelors who are self-taught.

As for why it was Yang Qianhuan, it was because Xu Qi'an only thought of this one.

Well, this guess has yet to be confirmed.

"It's not easy to know the reason." Governor Zhang sneered: "Immediately send an order, and all the staff are mobilized to arrest the chief envoy Song Changfu. Remember, soldiers are precious and fast!"

It's still the same way he treated Yang Chuannan, but it's very useful. Surprise actions can catch the enemy off guard before they have time to react.

Not long after, all members of Hubenwei were mobilized, and Governor Zhang only brought Jiang Luzhong and a few beaters. The rest of the silver gongs and gongs stayed at the post station to take care of Yang Chuannan.

Xu Qi'an also stayed at the station, the reason was to recuperate.

He just opened Wushuang outside the city, and now he is weak and not suitable for action.

boom!

The gate of the Buzhengshi's mansion was broken open, and Jiang Lvzhong led the Huben guards into the mansion, and subdued the rebellious guards one by one.

Unexpectedly, Song Chief Envoy did not show up like Yang Chuannan, and Hubenwei found him in the bedroom, and he was already dead.

Song Buzheng fell to the ground with a dagger stuck in his chest, and blood flowed all over the ground, soaking his clothes and half of his face.

"My lord governor, he is dead."

After Hubenwei checked, he respectfully reported.

"Did you commit suicide in fear of crime?" Governor Zhang walked to the corpse with a serious face.

Song Changfu actually died like this?

He pondered for a moment, then ordered: "Send someone to the government office and summon an experienced foreman to come over for an autopsy."

Wu Zuo rushed over quickly, accompanied by the magistrate of Yunzhou. The magistrate was full of panic. After seeing the corpse of Song Buzheng in the bedroom, he sat down on the ground in shock.

"My lord governor, this, this..." the magistrate's face was pale, his mouth was trembling, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"Why panic?" Governor Zhang glanced at Song Changfu's body, so he had no choice but to take the magistrate out of the bedroom and into the study to tell him about the reversal of the case.

It turned out that Song Buzheng was the culprit who colluded with the Witch God Sect and delivered military supplies to the bandits?

The prefect's eyes were dull, and he didn't digest this shocking news for a long time.

"This matter should be announced as soon as possible, so that the hearts of Yunzhou officials will not fluctuate."

The position determines the way of thinking, what Governor Zhang is thinking at the moment is how to appease the officials and maintain stability.

If Xu Qi'an were here, the first thing he would do would be to find fault with the corpse and the case until there were no omissions.

Just as he was talking, Huben Wei came in to announce: "My lord, the body test has been completed."

"Send him in." Governor Zhang said.

Wu Zuo hurried in, with his head down.

"Report."

"Yes!" Only then did Wu Zuo speak, and said, "The deceased Song Changfu was forty-five years old and six feet one inch tall. There was no damage to the head, hair, skin, or bones of the corpse. Except for the stab wound on the chest, there was no other damage to the limbs and torso. damage.

"There is no peculiar smell or color in the mouth and throat, and he died of non-poisoning. After inspection, he died of a knife wound on the chest, which is suicide."

Governor Zhang nodded and said: "Preserve the corpse properly." Then he turned to the magistrate and said, "Call officials above rank six in Baidi City to the chief envoy's yamen. I have something to say."

After making the arrangements, Governor Zhang frowned, pondered for a long time, and summoned a gong, and ordered:

"Go back to the station quickly, tell Xu Qi'an everything that happened here, listen to his opinion, and report back to the officer. By the way, including the autopsy report made by you."

station.

"What, Governor Song is dead?!"

When Xu Qi'an heard the news, his eyes widened in shock.

"The governor wants to ask your opinion." The Tong Gong who sent the message sat on the table carelessly, with his feet on the bench, holding a teacup in his hand, took a sip, and chattered:

"The one surnamed Song is quite interesting. Hearing the news of us breaking in, he knew that he was doomed, so he committed suicide in fear of crime. The governor asked me to come back and ask you what you think of this matter."

Yuan Fang, what do you think of this famous line subconsciously appearing in Xu Qi'an's mind.

He didn't expect Song Changfu to commit suicide in fear of crime. He thought there was a chance for Liang Youping and Song Changfu to go to court.

Xu Qi'an was extremely exhausted, thinking about things one by one:

Was it the governor's strategy of "soldiers are expensive and fast" that made Song Changfu feel that the situation was over and chose to commit suicide?

But normally speaking, shouldn't it mean that the coffin will not cry?

No, the premise for Meng Wu to kill and silence must be that something happened in the east window, but how did he know that the thing had been exposed?

In an instant, it was like a bolt of lightning split into my mind.

"There must be Song Changfu's eyeliner near the post station, who is always monitoring the movement here. Maybe it is the fourth-rank dream witch. When the bodyguards of the Fushun Escort escorted Liang Youping in, although some of them were wearing sacks, the walking characteristics of the cripple were very obvious."

"Song Changfu already knew that Liang Youping had been arrested." Xu Qi'an made a judgment in his heart, and he finally realized that something was wrong.

They interrogated Liang Youping in the post station for more than half an hour, and then the governor led a team to rush into the chief minister's mansion. Even at the speed of Tiger Benwei, it would take at least forty minutes to get from the post station to the chief minister's mansion. For such a long time, would Song Changfu sit at home and wait to die?

But Song Changfu is indeed dead, Wu Zuo has already proved that he is in good health!

"No, I fell for it!"

Xu Qi'an blurted out.
