Gao Jin is also a bit of a Muggle. He was inexplicably robbed from the prison at night and became an escaped prisoner. Then the Dongyue Young Master next to him told him that he was Tang Ping, the Marquis of Yinshan, and was willing to accept his assessment.
The people who came to the prison to set fire to the prison just now were actually people from the Prefectural Governor's Office. It was extremely unreasonable for people from the Prefectural Governor's Office to come to the prison of Baishui County to set fire to the prison at such a late hour.
The magistrate of Baishui County is the son-in-law of the governor of the state. The prince in front of him, or really the person from Yinshan Hou, should be the person they want to get rid of. After all, if he wants to harm himself, there is no need to go to such trouble, and he has been imprisoned for almost a month. Well, it’s impossible for people from the governor’s office to take action at such a late hour!
He was just upright, but not stupid. With a sudden change of mind, he began to lean towards the young master in front of him being Tang Ping, the Marquis of Yinshan.
"Then... how about you take what I just said about ignoring death and suddenly returning home?" After hesitating, he asked.
"Since ancient times, no one has died, and his loyalty will be remembered by history!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Ping spoke.
Who can’t recite this poem? There is no need to use Baidu at all!
Gao Jin was stunned. Cao Zhi wrote a poem in seven steps. You'd better reply in seconds!
But after reciting two lines of poetry written by Tang Ping, Gao Jin immediately fell to the ground: "Student Gao Jin, I have seen Yinshan Hou!"
With such poetry and such heroic sentiments, who else could it be if it wasn’t Yinshan Hou?
If any Dongyue craftsman had such talent, the Tang Dynasty would have been destroyed by Dongyue long ago.
Tang Ping breathed a sigh of relief, this guy was finally willing to admit that he was a Yinshan Marquis.
Asking someone to help him up, Tang Ping looked at the two trembling jailers. Seeing Tang Ping look over, the two men immediately knelt on the ground, shaking like a sieve: "Hunter Yinshan, please spare my life, Lord Yinshan, please spare my life." !”
In their opinion, this must be a struggle between the Yinshan Marquis and the magistrate of Baishui County, or the governor's office of Tianshui County in Qinzhou. Both sides are senior officials of the fourth rank. Such a struggle would be difficult for their small bodies like them to stand next to each other. Gotta die.
Now that the Marquis of Yinshan has taken the pseudonym Wang Gongzi, he obviously wants to conceal his identity. But if the two of them know his identity, can they not be afraid of being silenced by him?
So he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
Tang Ping didn't ask anyone to pull them up. Since these two are the jailers of Baishui County, they are working together in Baishui County.
Under these circumstances, they must have received benefits from the Baishui County magistrate. What's the use of letting them take a few bites?
Seeing that Tang Ping didn't respond, the two people were even more frightened. They kowtowed wildly and said, "Yinshanhou, we... we really didn't do anything harmful to nature. Then... what did County Magistrate Huang do?" Things, we... we didn’t have much involvement!”
"Oh..." Tang Ping gestured, and the two of them stood up: "You didn't participate much, so you still participated, right?"
The two jailers looked at each other and finally nodded: "Well, sometimes in Huangjiacun there are people who owe gambling debts, and their families have some small assets and are unwilling to repay them. Huang Erlang and the others will report them to the official and put them in jail. Let…let’s scare us.”
"Haha, what a good trick. The newspaper official caught the gambler to collect the money!" Tang Ping laughed in anger. This kind of thing is really unheard of.
"Yinshan Hou, we really...really didn't do anything harmful to the world!"
"Does it count as being a villain? Do you know how many families were separated from their wives and children because you protected Huang Erlang and Huang Sanye?" Gao Jin asked sternly at the side.
"Okay, you two, honestly explain the crimes of Magistrate Huang that you can provide one by one, and I will consider giving you both a lighter sentence. Remember, if you confess, you will be given leniency, but if you refuse to get strict! "
Tang Ping waved his hand, and the two of them were carried to the next door by two special operations team members. Although they were frightened, it was still necessary to interrogate them separately.
However, the testimony of these two people at most proves that Magistrate Huang of Baishui County was involved, but they definitely don't know the news from the state governor, so the real big fish or bait is still Captain Su.
"Okay, stop pretending!" Xiang Long kicked Captain Su who was trapped on a stool.
Captain Su still closed his eyes and remained motionless. Xiang Long smiled and said, "Did you know? If you are not dreaming, your eyes shouldn't move around when you close your eyes."
Everyone else looked at Colonel Su. Sure enough, after Xiang Long finished speaking, under his closed eyelids, it was obvious that his eyeballs were moving again.
"Hahaha! Look, it's moving again!"
Captain Su knew that he could no longer pretend, so he opened his eyes helplessly.
"Tianshui County, Qinzhou
Someone from the governor's office? "Tang Ping asked.
Lieutenant Su just looked at them but did not speak.
"Okay, it doesn't matter whether you say it or not. Could it be that we can't find a captain?" Tang Ping said nonchalantly: "I just don't know how many things you have done with the governor. Hey... by then Your Majesty is furious, let alone your family, all your eggs will probably be shaken to pieces!"
Lieutenant Su's pupils shrank, obviously frightened by Tang Ping's words, but he still insisted on keeping silent.
"Yes, you have some backbone!" Tang Ping yawned: "It's so late and I'm sleepy, so let's take a rest first."
After saying that, he pointed at Colonel Su: "Xiang Long, don't make too much noise at night, just give him a drop of water!"
"Yes, I understand. Yinshanhou should go and rest first. Just leave this place to the brothers."
Watching Tang Ping leave, and then several others put down the chair where he was tied, Colonel Su finally spoke: "You... what do you want to do?"
"It's nothing. Didn't Yinshanhou say that? I'll give you some water! Come on, plug his mouth! Block his ears too!"
Captain Su was quickly pinned to the ground, with his cheeks pressed against two table boards, making it impossible for him to turn his head.
Then Xiang Long and the others moved a table and placed it above his head. A bucket was placed on the table, and a piece of gauze they used for bandaging was inserted into the bucket.
Soon, the other end of the soaked gauze began to drip water continuously, and several people adjusted their positions so that the water droplets could just fall on Colonel Su's forehead.
"There is a saying that drops of water can penetrate a stone, you know? How long do you think it will take for the drops of water to penetrate your forehead?"
After Xiang Long and the others turned off the lights, the whole room became dark, with only the sounds of Su Xiaowei's useless struggle and the sound of water dripping.
In fact, it may be possible for water droplets to penetrate the skull, but it is definitely not something that can be done in a short time. The terrible thing about this punishment is the psychological torture it causes to the victim.
This quiet and dark environment can amplify the fear of the tortured.
When Xiang Long and the others first learned about this torture method, they still didn't believe it. They even went up to try it out, but they almost collapsed in just half the night.
