A smile gradually appeared on Shen Hao's face.
The past two days had made him extremely depressed. When facing Li Bing, he had to pretend to be "frightened" and actively avoid him. You can imagine how frustrated he felt.
Thanks to Wang Jian's help, the information obtained this time was enough for Shen Hao to launch further investigation.
"In this case, let's get this Wu Sanhe in our hands first and try the base color."
"But won't this alert the enemy?"
"So let's do it another way. Come on, come on, come here..."
...
One day later.
Early morning, East Market.
Wu Sanhe, who is fifty-four years old this year, is already the general manager of the Li family's main house. He climbed up the ladder step by step from being a cook. Now when he walks outside, even the officials in the yamen have to smile when they see him. Called "Guanshi Wu".
Wu Sanhe knew who gave him his identity, so he always did his best for his master's family.
Three years ago, the old man of the Li family said he wanted to try the brown sugar millet porridge he used to make when he was a cook, so now he personally makes a lunch for the old man to enjoy every five days. To express his feelings, he will get all the ingredients by himself. Come here to choose from the East Market.
Today I want to buy tofu, spring onions, crucian carp, orchid vegetables and some clear rice wine.
After walking around, Wu Sanhe noticed something was not right as soon as he walked into the familiar rice wine shop. Two black-robed warriors suddenly rushed out from the left and right sides of the shop. One of them closed the door of the shop, and the other one Jianbu rushed up and twisted his hands behind his back. He didn't know what method he used to prevent him from moving.
"You know I'm...oooooooo..."
Before he finished speaking, his mouth was tightly blocked by a dirty rag, and then a black cloth bag was used as a hood.
Less than ten breaths later, Wu Sanhe was taken away from the back door of Qingmi Wine Shop by two black-robed warriors. He got into a covered carriage and returned to the Black Flag Camp of Xuanqing Weili.
...
"The general flag has been brought back."
"Is there nothing wrong?"
"No. We stayed with this guy for a day, and bribed a handyman from the Li family to know in advance that Wu Sanhe was going to the East Market to buy vegetables this morning, and then he killed him in a clear rice wine shop. After that, we also controlled the wine. The waiter and the owner of the shop also covered themselves up all the way back, so even if the Li family wanted to come over, it would be tomorrow at the earliest."
"Okay, then hurry up. Only by opening Wu Sanhe's mouth can the case become beneficial to us."
"Understood, please don't worry, General Banner. Even if Wu Sanhe is a stone, we can make him talk obediently." Wang Jian turned around and left sadly.
Poor Wu Sanhe was stunned.
After taking off the hood, he saw that he was tied to a cross pillar, naked. On the left was a charcoal brazier with various irons inserted into it, and on the right was a brazier hung with pliers, nails, chisels, and bamboo There were racks of torture instruments such as sticks, whips, goads, etc. There were many torture instruments on it that he couldn't even name, but they looked terrifying.
Is this a torture chamber? !
The eldest son of the Li family serves as the chief flag officer in Xuanqing Guard. Wu Sanhe has also heard a lot about the most terrifying torture room in Xuanqing Guard. Now he feels that his old heart is about to stop beating.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Did you arrest the wrong person? I am Wu Sanhe! Li Bing, the chief steward of Mr. Li Qi's family, my brother!"
"Tsk, a liar who dumps money from a bank actually dares to say that he is the chief steward of Mr. Li Qi's family? He's not afraid of Feng Da's tongue flashing!"
Two bare-chested strong men were fiddling with the instruments of torture, as if they were making preparations for the official start, while scornfully disbelieving Wu Sanhe's words.
"Really! If you don't believe it, send someone to the Li family to ask. I'm really the chief steward of the Li family!"
"Can the boss go to the market to buy vegetables by himself? Forget it, you'd better stop talking about it now. It's a waste of energy. You'll be very tired later."
After saying a few words, Wu Sanhe's mouth was blocked again. This time it was not a rag but an iron walnut with a noose. However, he could not even close his mouth, let alone talk.
The two big men glanced at the interrogation items on the table and had an idea. They were newly recruited into the Black Flag Camp yesterday. They specialize in torture. They are professional and technical personnel. Not only have their salaries been raised by one level, but their work is far more relaxed than before.
Therefore, these two men were very energetic after receiving the task. We can't just take money and do nothing, right? The above requires that the results be available within today, so we only need half a day! Might as well let the people above take a look at our craftsmanship!
"Brother Zhou, would you like to start with three side dishes?"
"No, just give him a small dish to warm him up today, and then go down to the hard dishes on the third route, and forget about the dishes on the third route. If this guy's body and bones are average, he will be in big trouble. By the way, the back of the head Give him a thicker cushion and secure his head firmly so he doesn't move around and hurt himself."
"Don't worry, Brother Zhou, you don't know what I'm doing? Make sure you take good care of me!"
The two were chatting and clearing up their work like ordinary tavern waiters, except that their work was a big one.
Who can take care of the feelings of Wu Sanhe, who is tied to a cross pillar and is naked and unable to speak?
He almost peed!
Wu Sanhe was just a cook. Even if he later became the manager of a wealthy family, he was just an ordinary person. His experience might be complicated, but he would never be able to compete with those evil monks with abnormal minds. Therefore, Wu Sanhe was in front of him. His expression during the torture was unusually weak.
Just one appetizer already made Wu Sanhe cry for his father and mother. After only half of the hard dishes at Xia San Road were gone, this guy kept blinking. This was a code, indicating that he was prepared to "ask whatever you ask, say whatever you want, never say anything" hide."
"This guy is too soft. He attacked me as soon as I got excited. Tsk, it's boring."
"What are you talking about? Hurry up and send the oral supply to Wang Xiaoqi, and ask someone to take this guy away. Wash the floor. There is a puddle of feces and urine. It really stinks."
...
Shen Hao happened to come back from lunch, and Wang Jian came over with a confession document written in talented ink.
"General Banner, that coward has been recruited. The so-called "Yulin Rice" that came from Yunyang before was indeed fabricated. The purpose was just to deceive the bank's investigation of large transactions. In the end, the money passed through two hands. All fell into the accounts of the Li family’s main house.”
Hearing this, Shen Hao immediately stood up from his chair.
"Are you sure you entered the accounts of the Li family's main house and not Li Bing's private accounts?"
"It's not a private account, it's a public account of the Li family. I've just verified this. It doesn't look like Wu Sanhe is telling lies, and he also revealed a lot of things besides the Yunyang smuggling case that we focused on investigating this time. , at least 60% of the stolen money Li Bing obtained from outside the family went to the public accounts of the Li family.
In addition to input, there are also expenditures. In the past few years, the Li family has handed over valuables to many officials in Fengri City through Wu Sanhe's hand. It was said that they were favors, but the amount was a bit exaggerated and obviously could not withstand investigation. Even Jiang Qianhu accepted the filial piety from their Li family. "
