In Chengqian Palace.
Li Wen, who had just finished serving the prince and went to bed, suddenly saw a young eunuch standing in Chengqian Palace with a sad face, waiting for something.
Li Wen frowned and stepped forward. When the man saw him, the man's face suddenly showed joy. He hurriedly came forward and said: "Father, I come from the dungeon of the Imperial City Division!"
Hearing this, Li Wen, who had been frowning just now, immediately relaxed and asked with a little excitement: "Oh? Are you from the dungeon? Could it be that those two guys recruited something?"
As soon as he mentioned this little eunuch who was smiling just now, his face suddenly darkened. Hearing this, he shook his head and said: "
Those two guys were very tough. We have tried all our methods today, but they insisted that they had nothing to do with the interception of military pay, and they did not admit that there was any list. "
Hearing this, Li Wen's eyes instantly narrowed.
impossible! He was not unaware of the methods of the Imperial City Division, and no one would refuse to let go after enduring another whole day of torture.
Unless... there is something that makes them unwilling to speak out!
Li Wen's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Where are Li Wen's family members? Go find his family members immediately!
I don’t believe it. He is so tough now, but when his family members come, he will still be tough again! "
"Yes! I understand!"
The young eunuch's eyes also lit up, he responded and left in a hurry.
But before dawn, Li Wen got the news again that all the family members were missing!
After getting the news, Li Wen, as if he had found something, hurriedly led people to the dungeon of the Imperial City Division.
In the surprised eyes of everyone, he sealed the entire Imperial City Division dungeon with the people he brought, turned around and said to everyone:
"Our family originally thought that none of you would seek refuge with those scholars, but we underestimated human nature and overestimated you. Unexpectedly, under such circumstances, some of you would actually betray His Highness the Crown Prince and work for those scholars.
Here, our family gives you one last chance, who is it?
Who is delivering news from the outside into the dungeon?
Who is it, still delivering news to those scholars?
If you stand up and admit it now, our family can still deal with it lightly, but if our family is found out, our family will not show any sympathy for colleagues at that time, and then we will not blame our family for being ruthless! "
As soon as Li Wenzhu finished speaking, everyone in the dungeon realized that it was a traitor among them. Everyone looked at the people around them, their eyes full of suspicion.
The person responsible for interrogating Pan Zuocheng and the two men was even more furious. No wonder they were tortured and refused to speak. There was originally a traitor who was passing news inside and outside!
Not to mention Li Wen, if they asked him to ask who the traitor was, they would want to tear him alive!
Li Wen's eyes scanned the faces of these eunuchs one by one, but he could not tell who had colluded with the scholars outside.
When Jiji started to ask about yesterday's interrogation, who had contact with the prisoner.
However, after some interrogation, it seemed that everyone was cleared of suspicion. There were other people present when each of them was around the prisoner. It was absolutely impossible for them to pass on the news at any time.
Moreover, none of the eunuchs in the dungeon left yesterday, which is even more strange.
If no one had gone out, where did he get the news?
With this idea, Li Wen frowned and looked at everyone, puzzled.
At this moment, a eunuch suddenly exclaimed: "Eunuch Li, I thought of it! Apart from us, there was another person who came into contact with two criminals yesterday!"
Li Wen was instantly stunned and asked: "Who is it?"
The eunuch immediately explained: "Yesterday we were afraid that the two prisoners would not be able to hold on, so we asked the jailer to feed them some rice soup.
I think it was at that time that the jailer brought in the news from outside! "
"How brave!"
Li Wen was so angry that he didn't expect that the problem could be solved in such a subtle way.
He immediately ordered someone to find the jailer from yesterday. After asking, he found out that the man's name was Wu Liu, and he had gone home to rest after his shift last night.
Li Wen thought for a while and suddenly thought of a way. As the saying goes, the person who tied the bell needs to be tied to the bell.
Soon, Wu Liu was found by people sent by Li Wen, and Wu Liu's family disappeared.
The next day Wu Liu returned to the dungeon normally and continued on duty.
It was as if nothing happened last night.
Pan Zuocheng and his wife, who had just been tortured again this morning, saw Wu Liu coming forward to feed them rice soup, and while the eunuchs were not looking, they hurriedly asked: "How is our family?"
Wu Liu looked at the two of them with a strange expression, and then said:
"Didn't you all recruit them? Yesterday, several officials were arrested. Just because of your confession, the prime minister and others killed all your family members in a fit of anger.
Do you still have the nerve to ask how your family is doing? "
After saying that, he ignored the two of them, hurriedly filled them with rice soup and then turned around and went out.
However, after hearing his words, the two of them seemed to have been struck by a bolt from the blue. All their family members were actually dead!
So what’s the point of their persistence?
As for the rumors outside that they had been recruited, the two of them thought that it was the false news that these eunuchs had gone out for a walk, which put pressure on the Prime Minister and the others.
Who would have thought that the Prime Minister and the others would dispose of their family members without even asking for proof!
Hehehe...why! Why! Why don’t you have a little bit of trust!
The two people's inner defenses were completely broken at this moment.
"Okay, I've drank the rice soup, and I think you've had enough rest. The person who comes here will continue to add to their punishment!"
I want to see how long you two can last! "
A eunuch came forward, ready to continue to torture the two of them.
However, the two people, whose inner defenses had collapsed, did not intend to persist any longer.
There is no point in persisting anymore!
"No need to torture, we'll do it!"
…
Outside the dungeon, Wu Liu stood in front of Li Wen with a worried look on his face, and said with fear on his face:
"Father-in-law, I have done as you asked, and please let my family go."
Li Wen looked at him, suddenly tilted his head, and showed a strange smile: "In this life, our family hates betrayers the most!"
After saying this, Li Wen waved his hand, and someone immediately came forward, covered his mouth and took him down under Wu Liu's horrified eyes.
"Keep it clean and don't dirty the dungeon floor."
Li Wen said calmly.
"Slaves understand, father-in-law, don't worry!"
Not long after Li Wen waited quietly, a person walked out of the dungeon quickly, his face full of surprise: "Father-in-law, those two are here!"
Li Wen finally showed a satisfied smile, waved his hand and led the people back into the dungeon.
In this world, you still have to use your brain!
People without brains are doomed to live a short life!
hehe……
