Facts have once again proved that there are very few hard-core people in this world, and at the same time, it has also proved once again that Xuan Qingwei's torture is indeed not something that ordinary people can endure with willpower.
Ye Lansheng is already in his seventies. His body and bones are still strong now mainly because he has reached the first level of Qi Refining Realm. His physical body ages much slower than ordinary people. With his generous life, he looks about the same as he is in his fifties.
However, his body and bones are good, and he was really proud of a scholar at the beginning. Even if he was stripped naked and locked on a pillar, he still maintained his previous pride and magnanimity. For Xuanqing Guards like Shen Hao, who were like royal domestic slaves, it was Dismissive.
But after just a few side dishes, the literary character and dignity were all gone. The cries for mercy are endless.
This is a soft head. But he's not the kind of person who will soften to the end when pinched. He cried and begged for mercy, but what Shen Hao asked him to say was always intermittently or he told lies.
This kind of scene made Haoden Shen bored. This is not like interrogating a former leftist prime minister, but rather like interrogating a street gangster who committed a major crime and used the ridiculous method of "cheating" to get past Xuan Qingwei. ?
Forget it, people have many sides. This Ye Lansheng may have hidden the deepest side under torture, but it is not surprising.
He handed a rubbing of the "Thirty-seven Sins Book" in his hand to his two torturers. They had just arrived from Fengri City. They were also generals who Shen Hao was accustomed to and had a tight-spoken tone.
"If you make a confession based on what is written here, it must be able to withstand scrutiny, do you understand?"
The two killers nodded in succession. What's wrong with this? Isn't it just to let the prisoner talk? They have rich experience, and the person on the pillar is not a strong person. It just takes some effort, isn't it easy to catch him?
By the time Shen Hao got Ye Lansheng's confession, it hadn't even arrived yet. Within two hours, Ye Lansheng's mouth was leaking.
However, the hesitant look on the part of the killer who brought the confession made Shen Hao realize that the other person seemed to have something to say.
"Anything else?"
When Shen Hao asked, Shacai took advantage of the situation and said, "Sir, Ye Lansheng said after signing the pledge that he wanted to make a deal with you. He said he wanted to talk to you in person."
"Deal? Huh, you didn't ask?" Shen Hao was not surprised. Many criminals who know they are bound to die will make some stunts before they die, either to strive for a dignified death or to have some unfulfilled wish before they die. Anyway, the threat is just one sentence: "I have a secret. If you don't do something about it, you will regret it!"...
"Sir, my subordinates asked, but Ye Lansheng didn't even say anything about the two hard dishes. He just laughed. His physical condition is already a bit lacking. According to what you said before, try not to damage his body bones, so we don't dare. Let’s continue the torture.”
This assassin was also very depressed when encountering such a thing. You said if you don't care, what if you miss something? He can't bear this responsibility. But if he doesn't care, if Ye Lansheng is fooling others later, he will take the blame again. Dilemma.
But Shen Hao didn't have much trouble. Ye Lansheng is not an ordinary petty thief. He has been sitting in the position of left prime minister for decades. He is a powerful figure in the old Jing Dynasty. This person cannot be underestimated, even if he has already let it slip.
Shen Hao got up and went to the dungeon again to see Ye Lansheng, whose mental state had changed drastically.
I have seen Ye Lansheng be calm, I have seen Ye Lansheng look proud as a scholar, I have seen him crying and begging for mercy, now he is in another state, that is "crazy".
Seeing Ye Lansheng's eyes made Shen Hao frown slightly. It would be okay if he was tortured to the point where he was worse than dead and a walking zombie. As long as the old man's body and bones survived until the day when the emperor's red batch beheaded him, everything would be fine for Shen Hao's job.
But Ye Lansheng's current appearance was in a different state, with a crazy look in his eyes as if he knew he was going to die, but wanted to do something before he died to make some noise.
It's like some people can obviously kill themselves with a pack of rat poison, but they don't and insist on seeking death and survival in the downtown area. The psychology is not only to kill themselves, but also to leave something behind before dying, even if It doesn't matter if it's someone else's sigh or sneer.
"I want to talk to you alone."
Before Shen Hao could speak, Ye Lansheng stated his request first. The uncontrollable expression on his face makes it impossible to tell whether he is laughing, crying, or angry?
Shen Hao understood that this was the temporary sequelae of severe and continuous physical pain that remained on Ye Lansheng. After two days of recovery, Ye Lansheng's expression would return to normal.
He waved his hand and dismissed the people in the cell. After thinking about it, Shen Hao took out a covered dharma plate from his storage bag as a temporary defense for the cell. He was just doing this out of habit, and he didn't really think that Ye Lansheng would say anything amazing.
"I've heard about you a long time ago." Ye Lansheng seemed to be very satisfied with Shen Hao's behavior of covering the prison cell with a magic disk, and his eyes seemed to be smiling.
"Oh? Lord Ye, have you ever heard of a little guy like me?"
"I had heard of your name when you overthrew the Wen family. At that time, I thought that you were very courageous and resourceful at a young age. You were a character and you would definitely be able to make a name for yourself in the Xuanqing Guards in the future. Later, you Not only did he get rid of the Qin family, he also participated in the imperial examination and gained a lot of benefits.
It's just that I didn't expect that Pang Ban would value you so much and train you as his successor. You're only in your early thirties and you've already been working from the fourth level. Tsk, tsk, I have been an official for decades, and you are the only exception I have seen. "
Shen Hao also smiled and dragged a chair to sit in front of Ye Lansheng, and said: "Master Ye, you don't need to worry about a little guy like me. If you eat this bowl of rice from Xuan Qingwei, you have to follow the orders of Shangfeng. Take care of things. You have suffered a lot just now, you have made a pledge, and you know your situation. There are some things you know better than me even if I don’t say them. So if you have anything to say, Lord Ye, just say it."
Ye Lansheng nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Of course he knew his current situation. More than thirty crimes that wiped out entire families! It’s unclear whose handiwork this was, but it was definitely ordered by the emperor!
In Ye Lansheng's opinion, the emperor was venting his personal anger on him and taking revenge on him for standing on the other side during the royal examination.
Even Ye Lansheng didn't care about the emperor. He had worked hard all his life and devoted himself to the country, but he wanted to kill all the unscrupulous people. He was a despicable and shameless villain!
certainly. Ye Lansheng was too lazy to curse these words. He knew that no matter how loudly he cursed in the dungeon, it would be useless. The Ye family is in desperate situation this time. If you want to survive in a desperate situation, you have to find other ways.
"You should have checked my family background. Do you know how many sons I have?"
