Wang Jian and Wang Yiming were also a little stunned by this simple and unpretentious name. It's like someone telling you that "chopsticks" are called "bamboo sticks".
"Water drop torture? This, is this something you came up with yourself, sir?"
Shen Hao was just about to shake his head. How could such a perverted punishment be thought up by a young man like him who had received nine years of compulsory education? But I thought that if I denied it, I would have to find an excuse to get over it, so it was better to just admit it and save myself the trouble.
"Yes." Shen Hao nodded, and from then on, his name was engraved next to "Water Drop Punishment".
"Sir, I don't understand. It's just ordinary water. It's just a little colder. It's impossible to cause harm to people if it drips. Why does Zhang De act so painful?" Wang Yiming was also puzzled, but not as much as Wang Jian. Xinyan asked directly.
"Water is ordinary water, but this punishment is not ordinary. It is not aimed at the body but at the spirit. Have you ever heard of the saying "dropping water can penetrate stone"? No? Haha, then you remember, dripping water can penetrate stone, the same It can also penetrate people’s souls.”
Shen Hao had no choice but to say a nonsense sentence that was blocked at both ends, and then forcibly ended the introduction of "Water Drop Punishment". This is not because he is pretending to be cold, but because he cannot explain the principle of pain caused by "water drop torture". He did not invent it at all. He just saw a related introduction on the Internet and remembered it. He wasn't completely sure about using it this time. But luckily, it seems to be working well so far.
But Shen Hao was pretending to be cool, but Wang Jian and Wang Yiming were stunned. Who would have thought that Mr. Shen, the famous man in Fengri City, was just showing off? They would only think that what Shen Hao just said was some profound truth.
Perhaps this is what it means to simplify the complex? Wang Jian and Wang Yiming couldn't help but think of the same word in tacit understanding.
"Let's go and take a look at Zhang De again. Maybe he can speak."
After eating a few meat pies and chatting for a few words, I returned to the dungeon again and saw Zhang De with a pale and painful face. He wanted to open his eyes, but the ice water flowing down always made him blink. His eyes were bloodshot. He didn't know if it was caused by the ice water intruding in. Anyway, he looked miserable.
After taking off the iron walnut in his mouth this time, Zhang De stopped scolding or yelling. Instead, he wanted to die just like Ma Sankui before.
Unfortunately, the most scarce thing in Xuan Qingwei's dungeon is a happy death. Death without being squeezed out to the last drop of oil is definitely a reward.
"It's still the same question as before, which department of the Ministry of War are you in?"
"Yu...wei."
Shen Hao was stunned, and in his ears was the sound of Wang Jian's subconscious swallowing saliva.
Even the three torturers and guards beside them pursed their lips and lowered their heads, looking like "Why did I suddenly become deaf?"
"Yu Wei? Haha." Shen Hao smiled a little reluctantly. Because he knows what Yuwei represents.
In the Xuanqing Guards, in addition to the general establishment, there are also some "personal guards". These personal guards may be "personal guards of a hundred households" or "personal guards of a thousand households". When they arrive at the Zhenfu Shiyamen, they also have "zhenfushi personally guards". He envoys personal guards."
The personal guards are the combat forces directly under the command of the chief officer of the Xuanqing Guard, and generally represent the highest combat effectiveness of the guard.
In the military, there are also special formations similar to those of the Xuanqing Guards. The names are different, but the functions are the same. They are all their own top soldiers, the most convenient sword in the hands of the chief officer.
The reason why the word "Yuwei" shocked the hearts of the people in the cell was that the "Yuwei" was a bodyguard in the Ministry of War similar to the Xuanqing Guard, and was a combat force directly affiliated with the Minister of War. The general establishment is a hundred households, all of which are monks, and the lowest level of cultivation is at the post-qi refining stage.
In other words, if Zhang De is a Yuwei, then the person standing behind him is most likely the person who can direct the actions of the Yuwei: Minister of War, General Zhuguo, Yang Yansi.
Although Shen Hao knew before that a big fish would be caught if this case was investigated, he never thought that the "big fish" would be so big.
I'm afraid I touched the shark's fins!
What kind of existence is Yang Yansi? Let's put it this way, Yang Yansi's life can be written into the picture book of the Enlightenment Hall and used as an enlightenment reading for children! Even if the Jing Dynasty has been able to overcome obstacles in the past hundred years, at least one-fifth of the credit must be attributed to Yang Yansi!
Although the military was suppressed by civilian officials, no one dared to bully Yang Yansi. Even the emperor had to give him face. In terms of status, Left Prime Minister Ye Lansheng is far inferior to Yang Yansi.
Could such a person be the mastermind behind the "Ma San Case"?
After a moment of silence, Shen Hao suppressed the shock in his heart and continued to ask: "Do you know that you and Ma Sankui are engaging in collusion with the enemy? Are you betraying the country?"
"That's just a mission. Yu Wei...Yu Wei will not explore the chief officer's plans." Zhang De gritted his teeth, and he could see that he was mentally tortured by the water drops, and at the same time he felt ashamed that he had succumbed to torture.
Shen Hao put the chair next to the bed and sat down, and then continued: "Who gave you the order, and who instructed you to do this?"
"Turn off the water, turn off the water above! Quick!" He almost yelled.
Shen Hao smiled and said: "You answer my question first, and I will shut it down for you."
"It's Zeng Baihu's order! He made the plan, and he arranged every step! Turn off the water!"
Shen Hao did not break his promise. He raised his hand and tightened the stopper of the pointed pot again, and the seemingly gentle water drops stopped falling. Zhang De, who had been tortured, breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense expression on his face relaxed instantly.
"Zeng Baihu? Position?"
"Zeng Wenhe, Yu Wei Bai Hu Guan, is the chief officer of our Yu Wei."
Shen Hao glanced at the person behind him who was recording, and when he saw the pen in his hand moving, he looked back at Zhang De and continued: "Yu Wei is directly under the Minister of War. Zeng Wenhe, even the chief officer of Yu Wei, has no power to mobilize you. Bar?"
After a moment of silence, Zhang Decai said in a low voice: "He has the general's token and can assume command on his behalf."
With this beginning, the rest is easy.
For example, regarding the storage bag, Zhang De's confession was the same as the evidence in Shen Hao's hands, which naturally made the case solid.
There are also those procedures, as well as the people and documents they used to come out of the imperial city twice, who came into contact and facilitated them, and all the documents were asked from Zhang De's mouth.
This is almost a complete move, but there is only one thing that makes Shen Hao feel uneasy, and that is what role Yang Yansi, the Minister of War, played in this matter. Zhang De did not mention a word, saying that there were Yuwei in front and behind. Zeng Wenhe, the official of Baihu, was taking command, but Yang Yansi was nowhere to be seen.
