That night, the lights in the Xuanqing Guardhouse in Licheng were not extinguished until daybreak.
The common people who had been curious and worried all night carefully walked out of their homes at this time. Relying on the "small talk" among the neighbors, they gradually figured out that the murderous cry last night came from the south of the city.
There are even those who have the courage to go to the south of the city to watch the excitement. They thought they would be stopped, but found that they were not. As long as you don't go inside the Viscount's Mansion in the south of the city, you can just watch outside.
As for what can be seen?
The entire Viscount's Mansion has been almost razed to the ground and you haven't seen it yet? ! You must know that this place used to be a place where ordinary people had to frown even when passing by. It was a noble family. The eldest young master of the family is still the official residence of the Xuanqing Guard. The master inside is the eighth-grade Viscount. With this status, The only one in the whole city of Li.
I would like to ask who among the people in Licheng doesn't know about Lord Li's Mansion in the south of the city?
But such a noble and powerful house is now reduced to rubble.
Listening to the down-to-earth yamen officers in the periphery, the Li family rebelled. Not only did they secretly possess restricted-grade weapons, but they also had the audacity to assassinate hundreds of officials of the Xuanqing Guard. Isn't it true that evil will be punished? The whole family will definitely live to the end!
Regardless of whether they originally hate the Li family, seeing a big family being uprooted is something that ordinary people like to see. It can be used as a talking point for at least ten and a half months, right?
Various gossips were flying all over the place, and in less than half a day it had spread throughout Li City.
Ordinary people just watch the fun. Anyway, the rules of the Jingji Dynasty have always been relatively loose for the common people at the bottom. As long as they don't deliberately throw dirty water on the court and just talk casually, they can just have fun. But the so-called "respectable" big shots in Li City were so scared that they wet their pants.
In addition to being a well-known noble family in Licheng, the Li family is also a wealthy family in Licheng. The family's business covers more than a dozen categories, relying on the Li family's connections and status.
Now the Li family has been wiped out to the ground, and there are rumors that it was because of rebellion! ?
Conspiracy is a serious crime that involves the nine clans. Who knows if there will be other things involved in a conspiracy?
The Li family has been in Licheng for so many years, and their business contacts have almost covered all the large and small doorways in Licheng, and these "big shots" are more or less connected with these doorways and even rely on these doorways for their livelihood. Who can go around it? Can you beat the Li family?
And now not only can the teleportation circle in the city be inaccessible, but even the official roads out of the city are blocked and cannot be entered or exited. This situation is dangerous!
So can you not be in a hurry?
But when the important matter involves Xuanqing Guard, these "big guys" are also a little worried. Only a few prominent figures still have some ways to go in Xuanqing Guard, and they don't dare to hesitate when it is a matter of life and death. They personally go to Xuanqing Guard early in the morning. Waiting at the intersection outside the guardhouse, if you can get some wind, you can feel at ease.
However, an emergency occurred last night, and all the officers and soldiers in the Xuanqing Guards Station in Licheng were required to be on duty, or those in the A-character flag were all sent to the dungeon for custody regardless of whether they had anything to do or not.
In this way, these anxious "big men" in Licheng could only make a futile attempt in the morning.
It was not until the afternoon that the latest and most reliable news came out from Xuanqing Guard, and it spread throughout the upper reaches of Licheng in an instant.
"The Li family is indeed guilty of treason. Mr. Tang Qingyuan of the Hundred Households and the Chief Banner of the Black Flag Camp were almost assassinated last night."
"The Li family was not the only one to suffer. There were more than 300 people in the entire Xuanqing Weijia Banner in Licheng who were not spared. They were either shot into hedgehogs after resisting, or they were sent to the dungeon to await trial."
"Tang Baihu personally arrested the Li family's case. The person specifically responsible for the investigation was Shen Hao, the newly established Black Flag Battalion general. It was even the same Shen Hao who was in command last night."
"There is currently no news that this case involves other families in Licheng."
The last news made the "big shots" in Licheng, who had been frightened for most of the day, heave a sigh of relief.
In addition to cursing the Li family in their hearts, these people also remembered a name, and that was Shen Hao, the chief flag officer of the Black Flag Battalion.
Only then did these "big shots" realize that this newly established Black Flag Camp, which was not expected to be well-received by anyone, seemed to be very unusual. It even had no control over it, but was directly under the direct jurisdiction of the Hundred Households.
"The elimination of the traitor and traitor this time is definitely a huge achievement. It seems that General Shen Qi has a bright future in the future! He should move around more."
This is the natural thought in the minds of these "big men".
Is it possible for an upstart who is about to rise up, and who happens to live in a third of an acre of land in Licheng, not to fawn over?
It's so absurd to say that the old nobles over there have just died, and their bones are not yet cold; the new nobles here have immediately taken over the hearts of the people.
...
Shen Hao didn't know that he had become the new rich man in Li City so hastily. He was currently sitting in the torture room and watching with interest Li Bing being tortured on the cross pillar.
The rules here are to warm up the prisoners with three appetizers: body wash (dry cleaning with bamboo brush), massage (rubbing with coarse salt), and appetizer (spicy oil poured into the nostrils).
Then there are the hard dishes.
The hard dishes are divided into the upper three routes and the lower three routes. If further broken down, there are 18 hard dishes on the upper third route; there are also 18 hard dishes on the lower third route.
Altogether, there are thirty-nine punishments here.
Of course, these were not done by the Xuanqing Guards in Licheng, but were taught by the commander of the Xuanqing Guards in the old Jing Dynasty. It is said that since the establishment of Xuanqing Guard, the number of people who can withstand these thirty-nine punishments and still not let go can be counted on one hand.
Li Bing is obviously a tough guy. Although he is nicknamed the "old soldier", he is definitely not a weakling who knows nothing. Even those with real swords and guns have handled many cases and experienced many life-and-death battles.
But even for a tough guy like Li Bing, after sealing the energy in his body, the series of punishments can quickly reshuffle him from the physical body to the will.
In the lingo of the torturers, this is called: reviving the brain.
Only after the prisoner's brain is activated, will there be a question-and-answer session. Make sure you say whatever you ask, and just hope that after you finish speaking, you can die quickly.
"Commander Qi, you see, what we are using now is the "iron chain link" in the Xiasan Road Hard Dishes. You enter through the back door, and then supplement it with a special link. Once you enter and exit, you can connect the inside and outside. Clean it up and put some hot wax on it to make it firmer."
"Wax? Can this still be used as a candle?"
"Yes. After the lower third road is used to tamp the back door and intestines with wax, the esophagus and stomach are reconnected with the upper third road. They are also supplemented with low-temperature wax to connect the upper and lower parts. Finally, the wax is used to encapsulate the epidermis and it can be used for lighting. .
Hehe, there is another trick here called human wax. Most people can't do this. They don't have the skills, but I can do it. If General Shen Qi wants to see something new, he can just try it. It's not troublesome. "
Not only did the "big shots" outside regard Shen Hao as the new rich man in Licheng, but even the killers in the Interrogation Department were fawning over him. It's just that these methods of killing talented people to curry favor with others are a bit hard for ordinary people to accept.
"Huh, human wax? Thinking about this thing makes me feel sick. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat after seeing it. And this Li Bing can't die, let's not be disabled. At least he has to breathe, understand?"
"I understand. Please rest assured, Mr. Shen, I will ask you all the questions on the interrogation list without missing a beat!"
"Well, let's continue. This Li Bing is tough, let him suffer more. But before you resort to such disgusting methods, please remind me, so that I can avoid it and save some time for dinner. "
