Zhao Tong nodded when he heard this: "Mr. Zhong, arrest him and put him in jail."
Zhou Abao was so excited that his body was trembling a little. He was a doctor from the Ministry of Punishment, wearing a scarlet suit and hanging a fish bag. He was a little scared when he thought of this, but with such an alternation of water and fire, his heart became excited.
After a while, bursts of yelling and cursing came from the courtyard, which was obviously different from the crying and shouting of the Yuanwai Lang and others before. But no matter what, swords and guns were set up, and they rushed to the prison differently?
After a while, the prison warden came over with the jailer and displayed several simple torture instruments that had been prepared. Zhao Tong went over to check it out, and the guard also peeked at it.
Zhao Tong pointed to something that looked like a wooden horse and said, "This, the corners on it are too straight. Replace them with curved ones. Use the strong wine to wash them and disinfect them."
Then he pointed to a bench and said: "The wooden board on which the back is leaning is too smooth. Put some iron nails on it. It doesn't need to be too long. As long as it can penetrate the flesh without piercing the body, it can also be disinfected by washing it with salt and boiling water." .”
The officer's face turned green when he saw it. To be able to conduct espionage in Tokyo, he must have a lot of knowledge. Even if he doesn't have it, he must have done all kinds of training before coming to get a rough idea of the punishment activities in the Song Dynasty Yamen. Otherwise, if How can you survive the severe punishment if you show your flaws?
But what he had heard before coming here was not the case. The Song Dynasty was elegant and elegant. Although they were punished with severe punishments, in the end they were mainly bribed. It was probably because I didn’t do it when I was beaten with a whip on the first day, and I didn’t do it when I was slapped with a soldering iron on the second day. , the order of sending a beautiful woman to me on the third day, why is it not like this now?
Zhao Tong commented on the torture tools. At this moment, not to mention the officers, even the prison guards were fighting. After that, Zhao Tong then ordered: "Just use it first. If you really don't want to use it, I will think about it carefully. I, He Shan, cannot stand the cruelty, and thinking of such things will pollute the mind of the Bodhi Mirror."
When the member heard this, he almost rolled his eyes and fainted. Do you dare to say that you have the heart of Bodhi Mirror? You are fake, right? You are the Bodhi Mirror!
Zhao Tong didn't even look at him, said torture, and walked out of the room with something in mind.
Although the letter was written in a hesitant way, it could completely confirm the identity of this foreign Xixia spy. Moreover, this foreigner's status was not low, and he was a figure from Xixia Beifeng Hall.
Xixia Beifeng Hall is the place where the Xixia National Secret Service trains elite spies. This person is from Beifeng Hall and is not an ordinary spy. He should be a leader in Tokyo City and must know the news about other spies.
Xixia has been weak in recent years, so all kinds of spies are pervasive. However, neither the court nor the military has specific regulations for this kind of thing. The speed room of the Privy Council is not as good as the one in the frontier army. Jiyi Division.
Zhao Tong thought as he walked, this kind of thing is very complicated, and it also involves the Ministry of Punishment. He wonders if there is a big fish in the Ministry of Punishment. He has no time to care about it at the moment. The dog fight business is getting more and more messy, and the time is wasted. More, always see if there is any benefit to handing it over.
"Your Majesty, someone from the Criminal Department is here again." Niu Abao ran over sweating profusely.
"Didn't I ask you to be arrested?" Zhao Tong said.
Niu Abao wiped his forehead and said: "Subordinate, subordinate... This time the person coming is a famous minister. The prince is not here, so I really don't dare to arrest him."
Zhao Tong glanced at him and thought to himself that after all, these forbidden troops have concerns and concerns. If this cow Abao is a famous mountain and water bandit, let alone the minister, even the minister and the prime minister dare to take it like a pig and sheep, then he will be the emperor. He also dared to dismount.
He said: "Come and see with me."
Niu Abao was a little frustrated. He felt that he had not handled this matter well. He had thought about it a lot before, but finally did not dare to do it. The soldiers below may not be afraid of what happens to the officials and gentlemen, but he has everyone on his side. Once something happens, No matter, you can still find him if you look for him, but now you start to regret it again, feeling that you are a little too forward-thinking and there is nothing in the world that can please others without offending others.
When he arrived at Muzhamen, Zhao Tong looked out and saw Wu Qunshu, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, followed by many people, including some servants of the Ministry of Punishment.
Zhao Tong glanced at the soldiers he brought with him and said, "Open the fence and line up."
The Gyeonggi Forbidden Army originally had little combat power, but after practicing for many hours, even if it was just running, the energy and blood in the body was stimulated. These days, they have been clenching their fists from time to time, and the muscles in their legs are as tight as iron, and they feel that they are not strong enough. spread.
At this moment, after listening to the order, he opened the fence, and with a "hula" sound, he protected the wolves from leaving the nest, and immediately surrounded the people from the punishment department.
Wu Qunshu didn't panic when he saw this. He looked like a white-faced scholar and was usually serious about speech and speech. At this position, even if he really gave people the impression of being happy and angry, most of them were fake.
He saluted Zhao Tong from afar: "Your Majesty Wu Qunshu has met the King of Qi."
Zhao Tong nodded. Three groups of people from the Criminal Department disappeared in the military prison. It would be strange if Wu Qunshu didn't know he was here.
"Your Majesty, I went to the Guards Department to see the Prince before, but I didn't get it, so I brought people here. I wanted to take the liberty to ask the officials in the Criminal Department how they were doing. If they really contradicted the Prince, I will leave immediately. After the Prince vents his anger, I'll deal with them later!" Wu Qunshu said respectfully.
Zhao Tong squinted at him, unable to find anything wrong with his words, he said, "Who asked you to come?"
Wu Qunshu was stunned when he heard this. He was the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Logically speaking, he could make the final decision on many things in the Ministry of Punishment. He didn't need to give orders. Even if the Minister of Punishment forced him to do something, he didn't have to do it.
"Your Majesty, this matter was reported as a lawsuit. After a brief inquiry, I found out that no one was responsible for it." Wu Qunshu was neither humble nor overbearing.
"No one is here to help." Zhao Tong nodded: "Okay, arrest him."
He turned around and left. Wu Qunshu frowned on the spot: "Your Majesty, what mistake did this officer make? I want to arrest him in this military prison."
Zhao Tong paused for a moment, turned around and said with a smile: "Shilang Wu, it's not easy to be in this position, isn't it? I am a child with an enlightenment, ten years of cold window, hanging beams are bone-piercing, I read at night, sang the names of Donghua Gate, and the golden list of catching my son-in-law, all the way How can the ups and downs of officialdom be described by hard work?"
Wu Qunshu's heart sank when he heard this, and said: "The lower official came from a humble background, not even close to a humble family. He just studied hard and understood the teachings of the saints. He never thought that he would be a farmer in the morning and ascend to the emperor's hall in the evening. From then on, he worked harder and worked harder everywhere. As if walking on thin ice, I have been thinking about my own mistakes and reflecting on myself every day for more than ten years. If I have offended the prince in any way today, I would like to ask the prince to tell me. I will correct my omissions and be vigilant every day."
Zhao Tong shook his head. He was not willing to pay attention to his long speech. He could not reason with these people, because these people had studied the so-called "principles" for hundreds of thousands of years, and they followed the "principles" step by step. The word "principle".
He walked straight away, but before he reached the door, he saw the prison guard running out to greet him and said: "Your Majesty, that man confessed."
