When everyone present heard what Zhao Rang just said, everyone present except Ximen Dazhuang shuddered!
The Investigation Department where Yuan Mingkong works has a special torture room, and the methods in it can be considered to be various. But like what Zhao Rang said just now, putting a living person into a water tank, then slowly pouring molten silver water into it, and finally casting it into one body... is really too cruel! He couldn't understand why a wealthy family like the Zhao family could master such torture methods.
Only Ximen Dazhuang showed a smile on his face, and added that this kind of punishment is called "asking the king to enter the urn". Not only that, Ximen Dazhuang even said that he would tie the guy to a big red-hot iron pillar and burn him on the front and back in turn.
The wide-eyed Yuan Mingkong clenched his fists, but he didn't expect that these children of aristocratic families were even more twisted and perverted than the ruthless officials in the Investigation Department! He didn't know that the criminal laws mentioned by Zhao Rang and Ximen Dazhuang were all from a legend called "The Romance of the Gods".
This book was listed as a banned book by the previous dynasty, and was not banned until the founding of Dawei. However, many of the contents have been lost, and the files are often out of stock. For some unknown reason, Ximen Dazhuang's father was extremely fascinated by the stories in this book. Therefore, he spent a lot of money to find the missing contents from the folk. After all, he pieced them together. In all likelihood, he put it together, and then specially invited The most famous storyteller came to the house and took turns telling stories. This was how Zhao Rang could understand the contents of the book.
But for those who have never heard of it, it is really horrifying that the two of them suddenly proposed such a criminal law...
The man who had his muscles and bones torn apart was still gritting his teeth and holding on to a bit of luck after hearing the choice Zhao Rang gave him. As a result, after listening to what Ximen Dazhuang said, he collapsed completely and shouted that he would choose the path Zhao gave him.
"Okay, then just say it. Speak slowly so that you can speak carefully and I can hear you clearly!"
As expected, coercing Billy to lure him and make people fearful is not conducive to the long term, but it is indeed the funniest method at this moment.
The guy swallowed and began to speak. It turned out that one time when he got up at night, he accidentally saw Shen Liushu's figure flashing past. He felt strange in his heart, so he followed quietly to see what happened. Originally, with his uncultivated figure, Shen Liushu should have noticed it long ago, but it was a pity that it was a rainy night. The downpour was mixed with thunder and lightning, and it was impossible to notice anyone behind you if you didn't pay special attention to it.
To take a step back, as Shen Liushu was the shopkeeper of the semicolon here, he did not expect that a clerk would follow him so boldly.
The guy didn't think much about it at first, just driven by curiosity. But when he followed Shen Liushu to a secluded place in the southeast corner of the semicolon, he found that Shen Liushu rolled up his sleeves in the heavy rain, started digging on the ground with a shovel, and was still reciting poems.
The waiter thought that the shopkeeper had drunk too much, otherwise why would he come here to do this in the middle of the night, so he shook his head and went back to sleep.
After waking up, although he still remembered the incident, he didn't take it to heart and never mentioned it to others. It wasn't until Zhao asked them to come and a series of subsequent incidents occurred that the clerks in the semicolon gradually understood the clues. It turned out that the shopkeeper had done so many shameful things.
The waiter's thoughts were even more vivid, because he realized that the scene he saw on that rainy night was probably not that Shen Liushu went crazy after drinking too much, but that he wanted to hide something. After seeing the unique style of the account book, he was even more certain of this, because Chen Liushu was digging and chanting poems that night.
By coincidence, he actually came across the verse that Shen Liushu was chanting when he was burying something, so he quietly erased it, hoping to dig it out alone in the dead of night to see what it was. Unexpectedly, Zhao asked them to pay so much attention to the account books. After recording, they would also conduct an accounting!
After Zhao Rang listened to the man's account, he thought about it carefully and found that there were no obvious loopholes.
Zhao Rang ordered to the deputy shopkeeper:
"Ask the guards to bring a water tank over. It should be about the same size as him!"
When the waiter heard this, he immediately became anxious and cried:
"Mr. Zhao, I've said everything! Why do you still want to put me in a trap? I've said everything..."
Zhao Rang rolled his eyes at him and said:
"How do I know you didn't make up a story to try to prevaricate me? I put you in the water tank first, and then took you to the place you mentioned and dug it out. Isn't that clear?"
It wasn't too much to ask, so the guy didn't struggle any further. But when the deputy shopkeeper lifted his arm behind his back and put him into the water tank, the waiter simply closed his eyes, as if he couldn't see it, and it was as if nothing happened!
"Master Zhao!"
Zhao Rang took the lead and walked at the front, but was suddenly stopped by the deputy shopkeeper.
"What's wrong?"
The deputy shopkeeper slowly pointed in the opposite direction to Zhao Rang and said:
"This is the southeast side, you're going the wrong way!"
After reaching the position mentioned by the clerk, Ximen Dazhuang slapped him on the back of the head:
"Open your eyes and see clearly, he was digging a hole there!"
When the deputy shopkeeper saw Ximen Dazhuang's slap, his heart palpitated for no reason... At that time, the slap knocked the hunchback unconscious twice! Fortunately, he restrained his strength this time, otherwise this guy would probably be able to rest in peace.
"It seems like this is it..."
The guy looked around his surroundings and said timidly.
"You have to watch carefully, don't give me any looks! In the end, if you get nothing after all the hard work, look at how I will deal with you!"
Ximen Dazhuang's radish-thick finger dangled frequently in front of the waiter, as if he was about to poke him in the next second. The guy scratched his neck with difficulty, looked around again, and continued:
"It was raining and it was still dark... small... small..."
"Um?"
Ximen Dazhuang let out a question from his nose, and the frightened waiter quickly said:
"It's definitely under that wall, but I really can't remember the specific location. Even if you torture me in that way, I won't remember it!"
The waiter finished speaking in one breath, then his body went limp and he completely collapsed in the water tank, looking like a broken jar.
Zhao Rang opened the mouth of the jar and took a look inside. He found that although his eyes were still open, there was no trace of his energy.
"Mr. Zhao, do you want to dig?"
Zhao Rang said categorically:
"dig!"
"It's okay to dig out the entire bottom of this wall. Even if the wall is knocked down, it won't matter. At worst, we can just call someone to rebuild it tomorrow!"
Zhao Rang didn't actually think that the guy was lying. He believed that Shen Liushu must have buried something here. It's just that the time this guy mentioned has been about three and a half months, which means that during these three and a half months, there is still a possibility that he can retrieve the things buried here.
However, given that Shen Liushu was able to leave a letter in the account book, maybe the things buried here were also deliberately done by him.
