puff!

Zhao Yi's body dented, and half of his butt hit the iron wall behind him.

He rolled his eyes and hissed.

Just as Xu Fenglei said, at this moment, how could he still be the slightest threat?

clang!

Di Zhisun clapped his hands and touched the ruler, and shouted:

"Zhao Yi! The Grand Master is doing you a favor by loosening your bonds! If you dare to cause trouble again, I will severely punish you!"

The sharp shouting shook everyone's eardrums, and Yan Liben looked at him sideways.

After all, this is someone from Yushitai... He has a loud voice!

However, Zhao Yi looked completely shaken, with his head raised and his mouth grinning, showing no reaction.

"you!"

Di Zhisun was furious and was about to scold him again, but was stopped by Xu Fenglei.

"Zhi Xun, please be patient and calm down. Sit down and rest for a while."

I saw him stand up and said calmly,

"Let me judge."

"Yes." Di Zhisun glared at Zhao Yi, then nodded obediently.

Xu Fenglei walked up to Zhao Yi, looked at him condescendingly, and suddenly smiled.

"Zhao Yi, I know you well. You started as a right guard and rose to the Ministry of War and then to the Ministry of Works. Your resume is very beautiful."

He stood with his hands behind his hands and asked,

"Logically speaking, an outstanding talent like you who can achieve triple jump has a bright future. Why do you have to do such dirty things and covet the project money on the construction site?"

"It's only a small amount of money to deduct this and that. Is it worth it for this small amount of money?"

Zhao Yi remained silent with a grin on his face, but because Xu Fenglei was looking down at him, he could only turn his eyes elsewhere.

"I think it's not worth it. Unless you have a reason to do it."

Xu Fenglei said softly,

"Tell me, what is your relationship with Hou Junji? Did you have any transfer of interests before? Are you... a tool for him to make money through corruption?!"

Zhao Yi's pupils shrank when he heard these three fatal questions, and even Di Zhisun was shocked!

Hou Junji?

Could it be that the Taishi took so much trouble to reopen the case because it was related to a high-ranking member of the imperial court? !

He suddenly became energetic - there was a big fish to be caught this time!

"It doesn't matter!"

Zhao Yi turned away and said coldly.

"Really do not have?"

Xu Fenglei leaned forward slightly and said with a half-smile,

"When Hou Junji was appointed as the general of Youwei, you were just an unknown petty official in Youwei. Why did you suddenly become the head of the Hyogosu Department of the Ministry of War as soon as Hou Junji arrived at the Ministry of War?"

"This kind of position jump is not an exaggeration to call it falling from the sky! You are just a right-guard clerk with no achievements, so why can you be airborne?!"

"Um?"

Zhao Yi pursed his lips and remained silent.

"Because you are a related household, you were specially arranged by Hou Junji to use the gloves to collect money for his dirty hands."

Xu Fenglei snorted coldly,

"As for why you were selected, it's naturally because you showed extraordinary talent for corruption during your tenure as right guard and embezzled a sum of military pay!"

"Am I right or not? If you remain silent, I will treat it as acquiescence! It will be recorded on the record!"

Swish, swish, swish!

Yan Liben and Di Zhisun were both sweating on their foreheads and writing furiously.

The hand holding the pen was trembling with excitement...

If this thing is true, if it is revealed - it will definitely shock the court!

"wrong!"

Zhao Yi suddenly raised his head and said coldly,

"I don't understand what you are talking about! I was promoted because I got an order from the Ministry of Revenue, so I went there! It has nothing to do with anyone else!"

"You are thinking too much!"

Xu Fenglei smiled.

I am not afraid that you will speak rudely, but I am afraid that you will not speak.

"Yeah?"

Uh-huh!

He took out a piece of paper from his arms and threw it in front of Zhao Yi.

"This is what Yan Shilang just checked today. 30% of Chang'an Academy's project funds have been misappropriated! In addition to the salary and food money you have already accepted, there is also a large sum of money for iron materials, which is nine thousand three hundred taels!"

Xu Fenglei asked,

"Because you are the former head of the Hyogo Division of the Ministry of War, the use of iron materials is in your hands! So... can you tell me now, where has this iron material worth 9,300 taels gone?"

Zhao Yi's expression changed slightly, but immediately returned to normal.

"Heh... I'm greedy, so what?"

He sneered,

"Since I'm greedy, what if I could just be more greedy? The timid will starve to death, and the bold will die of starvation! I'm just unlucky!"

Bang bang bang!

"What a coward who starves to death, and who is brave to death. I admire you for having such courage and daring to take action."

Xu Fenglei clapped his hands, then stretched out his hand and said,

"So, what about greed?"

"Only more than two thousand taels of silver were taken from your home! Where is the rest? Where did it go?"

"If it were exchanged for copper coins, it would pile up into a hill. If it hasn't been cashed out yet, it must still be in some warehouse."

"Explain it?"

Zhao Yi fell into silence again, his toes digging at the ground uneasily.

"You can't explain it, can you? In fact, the embezzled money has been given to the superiors a long time ago, right?"

Xu Fenglei said calmly,

"Zhao Yi, you have to understand that I am giving you a chance to confess now."

"He who knows the current affairs is a wise man. Even if you don't tell me, I think the various torture instruments in this interrogation room will be able to pry your mouth open."

"If you are willing to cooperate and tell everything you know, then I will consider re-sentencing you."

The classic interrogation routine is classic because it is easy to use.

Such is the case with “carrot and stick”.

"Torture?"

Zhao Yi raised his head and said with a somewhat crazy smile,

"Then use it, come on, come on..."

"I'm not even afraid of death, so why are you afraid of torture? I haven't tried the torture in the interrogation room? Come on, come on!"

"Better kill me now!"

Di Zhisun looked angry.

"presumptuous!"

He shouted angrily,

"Come on, get the torture tools. Let's see if his mouth is really that hard!"

Now that death is imminent, how dare you be so arrogant?

You're used to it!

"Need not."

Xu Fenglei raised his hand to stop him and said with a smile to Zhao Yi,

"Would you really rather be tortured than confess?"

"You know, even if you don't say anything, judging from the evidence I currently have, if I continue to investigate, I will definitely be able to get to the bottom of it. It just takes more time and energy."

"Now, this is your only chance to redeem yourself. Can't you grasp this?"

Zhao Yi closed his eyes, looking like he was about to die.

"Master, this guy is a bitch, just give him a beating and he'll be honest!"

The prison chief on the side couldn't stand it anymore and gritted his teeth and said,

"I'm going to get the torture instruments!"

My dear, can you still become arrogant in this prison?

"Don't bother me. I have a very simple and useful criminal law."

Xu Fenglei waved his hand and ordered,

"First go get a bucket of cold water, and then get a thicker cotton towel."

"Yes." The cell leader accepted the order and left.

In a moment, he carried a bucket of water and handed the wet cotton towel into Xu Fenglei's hand.

"This interrogation room is so stuffy. I need to wipe my face to wake up."

The cell leader took out two more cotton towels and gave them to Yan Liben and Di Zhisun, and said diligently,

"Both husbands, you have wet yourself with cold water. Please wipe your faces."

The two were a little confused, but they still took the cotton towel and symbolically wiped their faces.

"Hey, who said this is for wiping your face?"

Xu Fenglei pointed at the cotton towel in his hand and said in a dumbfounded way,

"This is the instrument of torture I'm talking about!"

The prison head was stunned.

"Tools of torture?"

He said blankly,

"What kind of torture device is this?"

In his opinion, a weapon like a soldering iron and a whip is considered a torture instrument!

"Put him down and tie him tightly with the hemp rope to prevent him from moving around."

Xu Fenglei didn't explain too much, just gave instructions.

"Uh...yes."

The prison head quickly stepped forward and pushed the expressionless Zhao Yi to the ground. His limbs were tied tightly and he could not move.

Yan Liben and Di Zhisun both looked curious at this moment and stood up to observe.

But Xu Fenglei soaked the wet cotton towel into the bucket, and when it was full of water, he gently covered Zhao Yi's mouth and nose.

The whole set of movements is very gentle, like a mother tucking a child into bed.

Zhao Yi squinted his eyes slightly. Although his expression at the moment could not be seen, it was probably a bit sarcastic.

That's it? Also called punishment?

Wipe my face!

"Minister, this..."

Yan Liben didn't know why and couldn't help but speak.

"From now on, I will count thirty times silently in my mind and give one sound."

Xu Fenglei waved, holding a ladle of water in his hand, and ordered.

"……yes."

Yan Liben and Di Zhisun both responded.

breathe--

breathe--

The entire interrogation room fell completely silent. Several people counted in silence and could only hear each other's breathing.

They couldn't hear the only sound of one person's breathing.

"thirty."

"thirty."

The two said in unison.

Wow!

A ladle of water splashed on the thick cotton towel on Zhao Yi's face.

breathe--

breathe--

Zhao Yi's originally squinted eyes were slightly dilated, and the middle of the thick cotton towel was slightly sunken.

"sixty!"

"sixty!"

Wow!

Another ladle of cold water was poured down, and the small dents on the cotton towel were instantly filled.

Zhao Yi's eyes opened wider and wider, and his limbs instinctively wanted to twist, but were tightly restrained by the hemp rope, and could only twist like earthworms on the ground.

"Save your strength and remain calm."

Xu Fenglei held the water ladle in his hand and said with a slight smile,

"Otherwise, more water will fill your mouth and nose and choke into your lungs."

"Like me, breathe in - breathe out -"

His nostrils contracted slightly, he took in a breath of fresh air, and then exhaled it slowly.

"ninety!"

"ninety!"

The two counted again.

Wow!

Another ladle of ruthless water poured down.

"Uh uh uh--"

Zhao Yi, who was lying on the ground, did not listen to Xu Fenglei's advice. Instead, he began to twitch on the spot, groaning like a desperate roar!

As time passed, his pain increased a thousand times with every second that passed! The convulsions became more and more violent! A pair of eyes have turned into white eyes.

"If you want to do it, grunt twice now, otherwise you will drown."

Xu Fenglei crossed his arms and looked at it,

"Stop holding on."

Zhao Yi didn't respond and was still twitching on the spot. For a moment, he almost jumped up and stood up!

Unfortunately, the strength was not enough. Halfway through the jump, he lay down straight again.

This time, he no longer had the strength to move.

"One hundred twenty!"

"One hundred twenty!"

In the fourth round of counting, Xu Fenglei did not add more water because Zhao Yi's pupils were already dilated...

"He...drowned?"

The prison head said with a trembling voice, and a chill actually arose in his heart.

With just a piece of cotton towel and a few ladles of water, you can... torture someone to death? !

Xu Fenglei gently lifted the heavy cotton towel from Zhao Yi's mouth and nose, helped him up, and knocked his back with his elbow.

"puff--"

"Ho-cough cough cough..."

"Ho-cough cough cough..."

A water arrow spurted out from Zhao Yi's mouth, and the next second he was crying. The water and various secretions spurted out, coming out of his mouth, nose, and even eyes!

The pale face looked like a floating corpse that had been fished out of the river and had been dead for several days. It was extremely scary!

Dickson: "!!!"

Yan Liben: "!!!"

This scene made them both feel stiff.

"Ugh, uh!"

Before the water was drained, Zhao Yi began to vomit violently again. This vomiting was really yellow and white, and the airtight interrogation room was instantly filled with a strong sour smell.

"vomit--"

Yan Liben almost vomited when he smelled the smell, so he quickly covered his nose with a cotton towel, which made him feel better.

"Huh-huh-"

Zhao Yi vomited for a while, and then he recovered a little. He breathed in the air greedily, and the sour smell was more precious to him than gold at this moment!

But at this moment, Xu Fenglei suddenly grabbed his hair and pushed him to the ground.

The thick wet cotton towel covered his mouth and nose again.

"Let's continue."

Xu Fenglei said with a smile.

At this moment, Zhao Yi no longer had the calmness he had just now, and panic filled his eyes!

The person with the smile in front of him is not a human, but a demon, a terrifying and perverted demon!

"Ugh! Uh-huh!"

Zhao Yi shook his head crazily and tried to make a sound, but he could only make a whine.

"What? You don't want to play anymore?"

Xu Fenglei filled the gourd with water, looked down at Zhao Yi, and asked with a smile,

"Weren't you very tough just now? Are you not awesome? Why don't you play two rounds? Don't worry, I won't let you die."

"Come--"

As he spoke, he was about to pour the water down.

"Ugh! Uh-huh!!!"

Zhao Yi's eyes widened to their maximum size and he was writhing on the ground crazily. In this posture, he might even have to use up his energy to suck milk.

"You really don't want to play anymore? Are you willing to confess?"

Xu Fenglei put down the water ladle and said seriously, "If you want, just blink."

Swish, swish, swish.

Zhao Yi blinked crazily. The refresh rate was almost breaking through the limit, reaching 144hz!

"Okay, seeing as you work so hard... then I'll give you a chance."

Xu Fenglei took off the cotton towel from his face and threw it aside.

The prison chief stepped forward to help Zhao Yi up and let him sit back on the bench.

"Tell me, what is your relationship with Hou Junji?"

Xu Fenglei sat back on the main seat again and said calmly,

"You only get one chance."

Zhao Yi sat on the stool and shivered. His eyes were dull, and it was obvious that he had not yet recovered from the pain of being near death.

Xu Fenglei was not in a hurry, and casually took Yan Liben's transcript and started reading it.

"Liben, the records are very detailed! The handwriting is also very good, not bad."

he praised.

"Thank you! Thank you for your compliments... I don't want to be a lower-ranking official..."

Yan Liben shuddered, trembled, and stammered.

There's nothing he can do, he was really scared by his boss today!
