"Xue Zheng, they just left like that?"
Dr. Zhu walked to the door tremblingly, and then realized that everyone from the Imperial City Department had left. He couldn't help asking Li Xuezheng beside him.
Li Xuezheng wiped the cold sweat from his face with lingering fear and said unwillingly.
"Nonsense, everyone is gone, can they still be invisible?"
"But Xuezheng, the two of us clearly have something in the hands of the Imperial City Division, why did they..."
"Lao Zhu, do you really want to go to the Imperial City Division's dark prison where countless people died to experience it?"
"No, no, no, I haven't lived enough yet..." Dr. Niu, with gray beard and hair, shook his head rapidly.
"That's enough, just shut up. The Imperial City Secretary came to find us, and don't leak it to anyone even to death. Do you understand?"
Dr. Zhu nodded, but he still couldn't figure out why the imperial city only captured Li Bangyan.
How could that generous young man have anything to do with the Yuanyou Party members?
Seeing Dr. Zhu's thoughtful look, Li Xuezheng sighed and patted his shoulder.
"How the Imperial City Division does things is not something that little shrimps like you and me can know. Perhaps in their eyes, officials like you and me..."
Dr. Zhu stroked his beard and dejectedly walked away from the private house Li Bangyan bought in Tokyo with Li Xuezheng.
Come on, it seems that this time, Li Bangyan may have offended a certain big shot in the Imperial City Division, and no one can afford the crime of colluding with the Yuanyou Party members.
Li Bangyan, who was imprisoned in the prison of the Imperial City Division, was full of panic. Although he was in the past, he was happy to make friends with those scholars and those who participated in the imperial examination.
After arriving in Tokyo, he had a wide circle of friends, but the question was who was a member of the Yuanyou Party? He didn't know.
What's more, those Yuanyou Party members who were hated by the officials had already been demoted or exiled by the imperial court. How could there still be Yuanyou Party members in Bianliang, Tokyo?
Until he entered his private home today, Li Bangyan was still full of longing and expectations for his beautiful future life.
At this moment, he was so devastated that he was like a desperate dog, staying in this dark and humid black prison, feeling the strong stench.
Li Bangyan's tears fell heavily.
"There must be a mistake, yes, there must be a mistake..."
And in the distance, from time to time, there were shrill and inhuman screams and wails, which scared Li Bangyan so much that he trembled like a quail in the autumn wind.
Li Bangyan, who was completely emptied out of his body at Happy House yesterday and didn't sleep all night, finally couldn't stand the sleepiness and fell into the moldy haystack, not long after he closed his eyes.
I felt a bucket of ice water poured down my head, and then I was dragged out of the cell by two barbaric men with shiny flesh.
Soon, Li Bangyan was locked directly on a wooden frame with iron locks.
There were red-hot irons on the side, as well as all kinds of torture tools with dark red blood stains, and even various nails, awls and other torture instruments hanging with strands of flesh or cloth.
Li Bangyan, who had been pampered and pampered since he was a child, collapsed immediately, howled loudly, and begged to let him go...
At this moment, Yang Douzhi, who was standing in the darkness next to these torture chambers, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, stretched out his fingers, and motioned for the Niu Commander to come forward.
After giving some instructions in a low voice, Commander Niu understood the situation clearly, pushed open the door of the execution room and strode in.
He said to Li Bangyan who was crying and begging for his life.
"Originally, when you enter this black prison, you have to explain the rules and regulations, and let you have a taste of the methods of the Imperial City Division before you speak."
"But since you are such a softie, I don't want to make things too difficult for you."
"Yes, yes, sir, you can let the common people do whatever you want, you just want to spare their lives..."
Li Bangyan nodded his head crazily and shouted repeatedly.
Commander Niu showed a playful expression and raised his hand to point to a stack of papers placed on a blood-stained wooden desk.
"In that case, let's untie him first."
"There are three confessions here. I will give you paper and pen. You can copy them and stamp them with your fingerprints."
"Follow this, and you will be spared any physical pain. By the way, I have your handwriting here, so don't play tricks on me.
Otherwise, you and your bones after death will never leave this place. "
In this gloomy torture chamber, facing these imperial city officials who were rumored to be murderous without batting an eyelid, Li Bangyan, besides nodding crazily, did not dare to have any evil thoughts.
He had long heard of the evil reputation of the Imperial City Division, and everyone in the civil and military dynasties had heard of the Imperial City Division's change of attitude.
Because the Imperial City Division was a spy agency directly affiliated with the Song Dynasty official family, he had even been deprived of his status as an imperial student.
If you die here, can anyone still seek justice for yourself?
#####
The three confessions are all high-quality confessions created by the best scribes in the Imperial City Division.
Li Bangyan was acquainted with a certain member of the Yuanyou Party, and the two became sworn brothers. Li Bangyan once scolded the officials of the Song Dynasty together with this member of the Yuanyou Party, and even denounced the treacherous prime minister of the dynasty...
As long as this confession is obtained by Cai Jing's minions and party members, Li Bangyan will not live until next spring.
There is also a confession. Li Bangyan is involved in a life case a few years ago that has not yet caught the murderer. Li Bangyan is the murderer certified by the Imperial City Division.
If this confession falls into Kaifeng Mansion, he, Li Bangyan, will not survive next year.
The last confession revealed that Li Bangyan was originally one of the eunuchs who entered the palace, but absconded before entering the palace for surgery.
If this confession falls into the hands of an eunuch who wants to take advantage of Li Bangyan, he will not survive next year...
All in all, these three confessions can guarantee that if Li Bangyan dares to disobey the Imperial City Division, he will only die.
Li Bangyan's hand holding the pen was shaking, but he could only continue to write with a bag of tears and choking.
If you don't write it, you will be tortured to death by these ruthless imperial city officials. In the end, you will still have to write a confession.
It's better to take the initiative to write it down yourself, and at least you can avoid the pain of flesh and blood.
#####
Li Bangyan carefully transcribed the three confessions, signed them, and even stamped them with his private seal to prove the authenticity of the three confessions.
After doing all this, Li Bangyan was thrown back into the dark cell again, trembling.
Without waiting too long, he was once again doused with a bucket of ice water, dragged out, and hung on the execution pole again.
Li Bangyan almost went crazy and begged with tears streaming down his face, but the other party turned a deaf ear to him.
Even if he cried louder, he would be slapped with a big ear brace until stars appeared in his eyes.
Two Imperial City Division thugs who were preparing for execution were sharpening their knives there. Before they could take action, Li Bangyan, who was sobbing softly, finally heard Commander Niu's voice.
"Don't do anything yet. Drag him out. Yang Douzhi wants to see this kid."
Li Bangyan, who was trembling all over, was thrown directly at the feet of Commander Niu by the two fat and strong men.
When Li Bangyan's hair was like a chicken coop and his whole body became a little nervous, he heard that the young eunuch with a white face and no beard in front of him was actually the chief official of the Imperial City.
