Shen Hao has always admired the doctors in Xuanqing Weili. They not only use elixirs but also prepare medicines. They can deal with various physical conditions from the inside to the outside, and they always get results quickly.
This time is no exception.
"Master Shen. The prisoner's external injuries have stabilized. As long as he continues to cultivate, he can be cured in a month at most. However, the internal injuries are more troublesome. The main reason is that the zhenqi that invaded his body brought wood toxicity and seriously damaged his meridians. Whether he can keep it or not depends on his luck, he won't be able to fight anyone within a year."
Shen Hao was very satisfied. He was able to treat a seriously injured and dying person in just one day, which was considered to be an outstanding medical skill. However, he was still concerned about the interrogation question that would come later: "Can this guy be tortured?"
"No, even if you give him a small meal, he probably won't be able to handle it. This guy is still very fragile right now. I don't recommend you to interrogate him now. It's best to wait ten and a half days for him to recover before starting."
Shen Hao didn't say anything, but asked someone to send the doctor away.
Wait ten days and a half? Shen Hao doesn't have so much time.
The first situation report was sent to Jingxi Town Fushi Yamen early this morning. Jiang Cheng's personal reply arrived at noon. It can be seen that Jiang Cheng is also paying close attention to the news here.
When I got Jiang Cheng's reply, it had the same meaning: move faster so that the thunder can't cover your ears!
Therefore, Shen Hao could not wait until Zhang De recovered from his injuries before starting the interrogation. However, it is not completely impossible to deal with the seriously injured prisoner Shen Hao.
I temporarily drew some rough drawings of the utensils and gave them to the people below to make them. The drawings were not complicated, and according to Xuanqingwei's internal efficiency, they were completed in time that night.
"Let's go and see the flag officer from the Ministry of War."
After greeting Wang Jian and Wang Yiming, the three of them went to the cell where Zhang De was detained.
Because he was a wanted criminal, Zhang De did not take off the lock on his body even though he was seriously injured. There were even three people in the cell staring at him all the time, and two more outside the cell. That’s not even counting the defenses of the dungeon itself. In fact, Zhang De's neighbor is not Ma Sankui. Ma Sankui is on the other side of the dungeon.
Seeing Shen Hao and the others arriving, the guard at the door saluted first, then gave a signal to the people in the room, and then the door opened from the inside. This is a fixed process. If you knock or break the door directly, you will be bombarded with talismans by the people inside who are always on guard.
Walking in, the conditions inside were better than those in Ma Sankui's cell. There was at least a hard bed. Zhang De was lying on the bed. There was a distinct smell of medicinal soup in the room.
"Where's the stuff?"
The three guards in the room quickly pulled out a large box from the corner. The leader reported to Shen Hao: "Sir, everything is in the box, half a stick of incense was delivered just before."
"Open it and load it for the prisoner."
When the box was opened, there was a large kettle with a pointed spout and an iron holder. Nothing else.
No one except Shen Hao himself knew what these two things were used for.
Then, under Shen Hao's command, the kettle with a sharp spout was fixed on a shelf just above Zhang De's head on the bed, with the sharp spout facing his forehead about a foot away.
The fixator is used to fix Zhang De's head and neck. It is an auxiliary to the board lock. Its main purpose is to keep Zhang De's head fixed in a certain place.
"Wang Jian, put some ice water in the pot."
"It's my lord."
Wang Jian guessed that he wanted to deal with Zhang De, but he didn't know what Shen Hao was going to do. He used the five elements of water energy to make some ice freeze in a bucket of cold water next to him. Pour all the ice water into the lid at the bottom.
"Zhang De. I know you are awake now. Can you hear me?"
"..." Zhang De remained motionless on the bed. But the breath is not sleeping or comatose. I just don’t want to talk to Shen Hao. This is because he has been seriously injured and the other party does not dare to use force on him.
very smart. Unfortunately, I met Shen Hao.
"Don't talk? Very good. Although my time is very tight, it is not a waste if I use it on you. You are a good card now." Shen Hao said with a smile while reaching out and twisting a valve under the sharp-mouthed kettle. After a moment, the ice water in the kettle dripped gently through the pointed valve in the shape of water droplets.
"Pop!" A sound of water droplets so slight that it could be ignored sounded from the center of Zhang De's eyebrows below. Then another drop, and then another... Each drop of ice water has a rhythm, with the same intervals, just like breathing, pop, pop...
Wang Jian, Wang Yiming and other people watching on the side had only two words in their minds: That's it?
Only Shen Hao smiled and pulled up a chair to sit down. He didn't say anything, just waited quietly, and even closed his eyes, as if he was resting his mind.
Shen Hao didn't speak, and others in the room didn't dare to say a word. Only the sound of water droplets could be heard quietly on Zhang De's forehead.
In half an hour, the people in the room went from being confused at first, to "puzzled", and then gradually turned into "confused".
At first, no one took the ice water seriously, didn't understand at all, and even complained in their hearts about their own adults' unreasonable behavior. He thought to himself: Is the purpose of the water droplets to prevent the other party from sleeping?
But not long after, they found that Zhang De, who was dripping water on his head and between his brows, quickly frowned slightly. Later, as time went by, Zhang De stopped pretending to sleep at all, and whimpered twice from time to time, as if he was angry or uncomfortable?
Although the water dripped slowly, in half an hour there was still not much water left in the pointed pot. Shen Hao raised his hand to signal Wang Jian to continue adding water, but he still did not speak.
After another half an hour, the sound of dripping water could no longer be heard in the room. Instead, Zhang De shouted and cursed so loudly that Shacai, who was interrogating him nearby, brought an iron walnut to muzzle him.
It wasn't until the end of the year that Shen Hao had someone remove the iron walnut from Zhang De's mouth and asked again.
"Zhang De, tell me your identity. Which department of the Ministry of War do you belong to?"
"Fuck you... um..." He couldn't curse out, and Tie Walnut stuffed the second half of the sentence back.
"It seems you don't want to say it yet, so let's wait." Standing up from the chair, Shen Hao greeted Wang Yiming and Wang Jian to leave the dungeon first, and the guards in the dungeon were told to watch the water in the pointed pot. Add it when the dripping is finished, remember it must be ice water.
"Wang Jian, go get some food, we have to continue the trial tonight."
"Okay sir."
Soon, Wang Jian got some cold noodles from the canteen of the station, and the three of them divided them and ate them.
"Sir, that dripping thing doesn't seem simple. Is there anything special about it?"
"What's famous? It's not famous. It's just a torture method that doesn't cause any trauma. Water drop torture." Shen Hao didn't think much about it before, but after he said it, he suddenly felt that the three words "water drop torture" were not loud enough. But having said it all, let’s call it that.
It also allows people in this world to see the punishment methods of another world.
