"Sir, how is this possible?! The little one can't believe it. There is a mouth that can't be pried open?! Let the little one come!"

Scarface looked dissatisfied and rolled up his arms and sleeves to be sentenced.

Jiang Wei's eyes turned cold, and he frowned and said,

"I said you can't be tried by corporal punishment, but you can't be tried. What? Do you want to question my professionalism?"

Scarface was startled by Jiang Wei's murderous intent. Bao Zhao was afraid that Scarface would be stupid again, so he quickly said,

"You blind bitch! This is the Inspector of the Imperial Guard!"

As soon as these words came out, the jailers present were as if they were little devils seeing the living King of Hell.

The little tricks they usually play are totally useless in front of Jin Yiwei.

Rumor has it that there was once an official who was arrested by the Jin Yiwei for corruption. He came back without any injuries, but he was tortured and went crazy.

Jinyiwei has countless ways to punish prisoners, but it is obvious that they have already entered the next stage, starting to torture the prisoners from the mental level.

Scarface seemed to be frightened. He froze in place and did not dare to move. He stuttered and apologized,

"Sir, sir, I...I was wrong..."

Jiang Wei didn't have time to embarrass a young jailer and glanced at the two Wang brothers.

Yang Pu frowned and asked,

"Master Jiang, is there no other way?"

Jiang Wei chuckled, "There must be a way. I'm just saying that we can't pry their mouths open using conventional methods."

Yes, this man has many unconventional methods!

Jiang Wei looked at Scarface and quickly explained,

"These two people must have confessed together. Prepare two rooms. They will be locked up separately. I will interrogate them one by one."

"Yes, sir!" Scarface said with admiration on his face. They are all under the same system. Being lucky enough to see the commander of the Imperial Guards interrogating the case with his own eyes is equivalent to seeing Liu Xiang for a runner and seeing Ma Long for a table tennis player. .

Wang Da and Wang Er were thrown into two small dark rooms similar to interrogation rooms by the jailers.

"Sir, please please!"

Jiang Wei was the first to enter the room on the east side. Wang Er was handcuffed on a simple version of the tiger bench.

"Wang Da? Wang Er?"

Wang Er pulled his arm. It was obvious that this posture made him very uncomfortable and even irritable.

"Wang Er."

"You and your eldest brother colluded to confess, and it was you two who killed Wang Fen."

Jiang Wei said calmly.

When Wang Er heard this, his body reacted violently and he hurriedly said,

"My lord, it's unfair, it's unfair. It's obviously Huang Bo who accused us wrongly!"

"I was stating a fact just now, not asking you a question. I didn't ask you a question, so you don't have to answer."

Wang Er was choked and didn't know what to say. The face of Jiang Gu in front of him was expressionless, but it seemed that everything was under his control.

Wang Er couldn't help but feel shaken in his heart. Can he really hide this matter from his eldest brother?

"Now you have two choices."

Jiang Wei's words attracted Wang Er's attention. Wang Er couldn't help but look up at Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei raised two fingers and said,

"The first option is to plead guilty."

Wang Er argued,

"Sir, how can you plead guilty when the common man has not committed any crime? Aren't you using severe torture to extract a confession?"

"Haha, I also know that torture is required to extract confessions. It seems that the Ming Law has been popularized among the people." Jiang Wei humored him a little and continued, "Don't rush to choose. Listen to me, the second choice... "

Wang Er saw that Jiang Wei was reluctant to continue speaking, so he asked anxiously,

"What's the second option?"

"Be silent and say nothing."

"Don't say anything?! Is this okay?"

"sure."

Jiang Wei shrugged his shoulders, "I'm afraid you still don't understand the situation at hand, so I'll only tell you once.

When I face your eldest brother Wang Da later, I will also give him two choices, confess or remain silent.

Depending on the different choices you two make, three situations will arise:

If both of you remain silent, you will be acquitted for the time being, but the possibility is slim.

Huang Bo's confession has almost been recorded. If he is not lying, as long as he leads people to carefully search the place where Wang Fang's body was dumped, there will definitely be some clues left.

Don't think that you have cleaned it up very well. Believe me, in my opinion, it is still full of loopholes, but it will be a waste of manpower. "

Wang Er lowered his head with a look of panic on his face. He still had some confidence to deal with ordinary jailers, but facing the unfathomable adult in front of him, Wang Er felt really unsure.

"I just want to finish this case quickly and rush to report to the superiors. As long as someone takes the blame, I don't care if one person commits the crime or two people commit the crime."

Jiang Wei said to himself.

Then, he continued,

"In the second case, both of you brothers confess. In this case, everyone is happy. They should be convicted and convicted, but they should not be punished to death. They are just punished to live in a hard labor camp for the rest of their lives. At least they are alive, right?"

Wang Er was trembling all over, like chaff. Jiang Yu had thoughtfully planned his future, but Wang Er didn't feel any warmth at all. Instead, he felt a bone-deep chill.

"The third situation," Jiang Wei's eyes flashed, "one of you brothers recruited, the other didn't..."

Wang Er raised his head, swallowed his foam, and asked in a hoarse voice,

"Here, what should I do?"

Jiang Wei sneered,

"As I said just now, I am anxious to communicate with the superiors. If one person is recruited and the other is not,

I will let go of those who have been recruited, and let those who have not been recruited take the blame. "

Bang!

Wang Er was so frightened that he sat down on the ground. Even though there was no sunlight in the room all year round and it was bitingly cold, Wang Er still broke out in a cold sweat!

What, how could this be? !

It was clear that two people committed a crime together, how could one be spared and the other released based on whether they confessed or not? !

This is not written in the laws of the Ming Dynasty!

Wang Er was brainstorming rapidly, should I do this or should I not do this?

If I don't recruit, what should I do if my eldest brother recruits me?

The eldest brother is the mastermind and he has the most fun. If he gets away with it after committing the crime first, wouldn’t I be the one taking the blame? !

Wait, is it possible not to hire anyone? !

As soon as this idea came to mind, Wang Er seemed to be grasping at straws, but when he saw Jiang Gu's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he quickly gave up the idea.

impossible! Absolutely impossible! It is absolutely impossible for you and your eldest brother to deceive the person in front of you!

The Wang brothers' preparations for colluding to confess were thought to be foolproof, but as soon as they appeared in front of Jiang Wei, they were completely shattered in an instant!

"How about you think about it first, and then I'll ask your brother?"

Jiang Wei asked kindly,

These words were like the straw that broke the camel's back, instantly crushing Wang Er's will.

"I, I recruit..."
