"In Prince Gong's palace, the court confiscated more than 1,500 rifles, tens of thousands of bullets, and even hand grenades imported from the Chinese and other contraband! How do you explain these to the court?"
"Of course, you will say that I am the prince, and I trained the Xishan Camp first-hand. It is normal to have some weapons at home, but is this too much?"
"This is not over yet. Those slaves in your family can't stand the torture. In three hours, the weapons and gold and silver in the two secret warehouses underground in the back garden will be revealed!"
"One hundred and thirty guns, more than 3,000 rounds of bullets, and the box sunk in the lake contains more than 16,000 taels of gold! My sixth brother, are you really rich too?"
"The confession is too detrimental to you. What secrets can your minions keep under the Five Trees? With these weapons and ammunition, you can be convicted of deliberate rebellion. This is a capital crime!"
"Not to mention that this was not intentional. Forty thousand factory slaves and the Xishan Battalion have already attacked the capital with open arms. How else can you explain it?"
"The wax pills are gone, but the letters in your study are still there. Why do so many local officials in the Qing Dynasty write to you to report local news?"
"How come this Sichuan flood and drought report is more detailed than the one from the Ministry of Household Affairs? My Sixth Brother, are you planning to set up your own little court?"
"You still don't take it seriously? The chain of evidence has locked you up, how can you tell the difference? Just take it, and there will be no pain if you take it!"
The King of Yu was very persuasive and tried every means to make Yi Xin give up her fearless resistance and confess quickly so that he could easily hand over the contract, so he revealed part of the progress of the case outside the law without permission!
Yi Xin was shocked after hearing this. He didn't expect that the forces he had worked so hard to manage, and those dead men who thought they were tough-talking, would still have their mouths opened!
"Haha... King Yu! This is not the first day that this king has dealt with government affairs. You should save these threats to scare others!"
"What kind of confession can't be obtained under five trees? Under severe torture, there are many slaves who talk nonsense. Even if there is stolen goods, I think it was framed by you!"
"I still say the same thing! This rebellion has nothing to do with me, I didn't do it!"
"You..." The last bit of Prince Yu's patience was exhausted. "Okay, okay... I really don't want to drink wine as a penalty. For the sake of the family, I will leave you a clear path, but you don't appreciate it at all." ah!"
"Didn't you say that Itsukishita had all the confessions? Then you should be more aware of the situation! The outside world can add evidence to you as they like, so why are you insisting on it?"
"Can you get away without confessing? Your Majesty has really lost his patience. I don't need your confession to clarify the punishment. You can't survive just relying on external evidence!"
"Hahaha... The secret has been exposed? Aren't you going to be imprisoned? Then you can do whatever you want. Why do you insist on my confession? Just use the forged confession from outside to convict me!"
"Even if I go to hell to meet the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, I still have a clear conscience. I am also innocent!"
"Oh...you really won't shed tears until you see the coffin! Our friendship as a brother has been exhausted, don't blame me for not having any friendship later! Brother Six, please wish yourself well! Your Majesty has put a lot of pressure on me, and I have no confession. It’s hard for me too!”
At this point, there is nothing to talk about. If Yi Xin refuses to give a confession, then the only option is to use torture!
The four cruel officers in the execution room smiled and gave Prince Gong a thousand dollars, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty! We are just a knife in the hands of the nobleman. How we act depends on the person who wields the knife, so don't blame us!"
"Tie it up!" Two cruel officers went up to cut Yi Xin's back, and tied Prince Gong's hands behind his back with a five-flowered hemp rope mixed with beef tendon!
Yi Xin yelled with anger in his eyes, "This is true! Don't you care about the friendship between the Eight Banners family at all? I just want to see His Majesty. You can inform me on my behalf. It's not up to the Emperor to decide whether to see you or not!"
"Are you so anxious to take my life? Okay, okay...yes, yes...all you want is to use my life as a token of fame!"
"The position of chief of the Capital Police Bureau is not enough! Do you also want to taste the taste of Prime Minister Wang? You are worthy of it!"
Now he was being very shameless, and he shouted angrily, "Your Majesty is not something you can see just because you want to! Even if you want to see the Emperor, you have to write a confession and sign it first!"
"What are you looking at here? Why don't you do something..."
King Yu turned away angrily and walked out of the room, breathing the cold late night wind in the yard. Four cruel officials in the room immediately took action!
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty... where should we start first? I saw that you were staring at this stool just now? Okay, let's start with the tiger stool..."
The two of them lifted Yi Xin and placed her flat on the tiger bench. The upper body was trapped with hemp ropes, and her legs were also tied to the tiger bench. However, the calves at the ankles did not need to be tied directly to the bench. They had to be padded with bricks under the ankles. !
"Your Majesty! I have one last question, do you admit your guilt or not?"
"Haha... I'm not guilty, what do you want me to admit?"
"Ouch...you are so stubborn, so I'm sorry! Two dollars first!"
The thigh is fixed on the tiger bench, and two blue bricks are padded under the ankle of the calf. Now all the strength is concentrated on the knee, especially the big tendon under the knee!
"Ah!" Yixin couldn't describe this feeling at all. The big tendons in both legs seemed to have been stretched all of a sudden, and the kneecaps were about to be pushed out.
It's not just pain, it's the kind of pain that connects the muscles to the heart. I break out in a cold sweat and my molars are almost broken!
"Prince Gong, be tough! Add one more brick to the prince... The slaves have been tortured for a lifetime. According to the rules passed down from the elders, four bricks for this tiger bench is the limit! Only the Lian family can bear it after that!"
"If an ordinary person weighs only three pieces, his bones and tendons will be broken! My lord... do you really want to carry on?"
Yi Xin was in so much pain that he could no longer speak. He closed his eyes and his face was livid, but he still stubbornly turned his head and ignored these cruel officials!
"Come on! I'll serve you one more piece!"
The two of them struggled to lift Yixin's calf upwards, and the other person inserted the third brick quickly with quick hands and eyes!
"Ah..." Yi Xin felt as if her legs were broken at the knees. This scream was heard in five or six houses at night!
"Ama! Ama..." Cheng Beile in the cell rushed to the railings, crying with tears all over his face. He shook the iron railings with both hands and shouted desperately!
"My ancestors... let me go, Ama! You dare to torture the prince... you are a dog slave! Wuwuwu... you are all a bunch of dog slaves!"
Yi Xuan slammed his fist on the nailed window, and shouted loudly, "Stop! Let me go to see Your Majesty... If there is any crime, I will go to Your Majesty to get it!"
"Prince Gong is the Prime Minister of the Qing Dynasty! He has made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty! You can't treat him like this..."
