"I'm very pleased that you confessed so quickly. In that case, in return I will try my best to give you a chance to survive."
This interrogation room was not dark and damp, but rather warm and comfortable like a prison, and the man standing up from the chair was its creator and user.
Lu Ting, who was in his thirties, served as the Minister of History of Shanhe Prefecture. Li Zhanchun said that Shanhe Prefecture was the smartest and the best torture officer in Shanhe Prefecture so far.
Unlike He Nan, who is best at using a combination of language or violence to create fear and destroy the prisoner's psychological defenses, Lu Ting is gentle and gentle. His way of breaking through the psychological defenses is a comfortable environment and non-threatening chat, one by one. Click to pry out all the other party’s information.
Of course, no one who is qualified to sit here and be interrogated face-to-face by Lu Ting is an undefended fool. They are all people with two skills. Of course, they also know how to avoid the important and take the easy. But Lu Ting can be called the "strongest" Of course he has his talent - it is an ability that is a combination of innateness and continuous improvement. Even the slightest emotional fluctuations and inconspicuous details will be seen by him at a glance, so sitting on the mainland The person facing you will always feel that you are gradually naked. It is not impossible that the family tree of eight generations will be peeled off through a twitching of the nose.
But the vast majority of them realize this too late, which usually means that the spiritual mentor has obtained enough information, while a small number of people face the seemingly innocuous way of gentle breeze and drizzle. Will choose to remain silent.
But this is actually of no use. It is just a matter of time. For example, Andre had a tough-talking attitude at first and acted as a righteous man, but Lu Ting still surrendered to him.
Lu Ting always believes that people all have weaknesses. What he does is to find and expose the most deadly one, and then fight on it until both parties reach an agreement - in other words, make the other party surrender. As for those very few , A person with almost no weaknesses may not be able to emerge in a hundred years, and naturally he will not be imprisoned in a place like Shanhe Mansion.
Andre's confession will make a breakthrough in this shocking case, and the only thing he needs to do next may be to repeat his words again when he meets the saint - if Qi Changgeng really decides that he wants to If you handle the case personally.
After getting the confession he wanted, Lu Ting left first. He usually gave the prisoner who confessed a period of time alone in the interrogation room to reflect on what he had done during that long period of time. , someone will take Andre back to the cell in a quarter of an hour, and Lu Ting will go straight to Penglai Pavilion to report to his mentor.
Of course, when it comes to reporting, Lu Ting's personality is usually for communication, and he never needs to take credit or chat in front of the teacher - he is as meticulous as his hair, and he will never waste words when he can write things on paper that people can understand. And his manuscript is also concise and clear, not a word is missing or a word is redundant.
But he didn't expect that the door of the room where Li Maschun worked in Penglai Pavilion was locked from the inside. It looked like important guests were coming, and there were two "guards" with big eyes and small eyes standing at the door.
If they really want to guard the gate somewhere, then maybe only Shanhe Mansion in the world can afford to use two people like this as guards.
At that time, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Li Zhanchun's direct disciple ranked third, Ye Zheng.
Deputy historian of the Shanbu Department of Shanhe Prefecture, Li Zhanchun's direct disciple ranked fourth, Cao Ju.
The three most valued disciples of Li Zhanchun, the three most cunning and intelligent people in Shanhe Mansion, and the three guys with the most serious psychological problems, gathered here in this most unsuitable occasion for a chance encounter.
Looking at the two door gods standing guard at the door, Lu Ting also said hello in a low voice. Although his current official position is still higher than that of the fourth senior brother, he is the ninth oldest in terms of seniority, so he must abide by some rules. Especially when the atmosphere between the two is tense.
But just these two words of hello, senior brother, caused the tense atmosphere between the two of them to draw swords and instantly spread to the three of them.
"Look at how proud the Minister of Justice is. Even the boss of Shanhe Prefecture has to bow before meeting." According to Shanhe Prefecture's custom of verbal sparring, he spoke first.
It must be Cao Ju. Li Zhanchun once commented that Cao Ju was "poisonous with his words", but the look on his handsome face was extremely mean, and the words he spoke were also yin and yang, and every word was poking at the heart of others - poking. Still two people.
"Really? In my opinion, that's not the case - Lu Ting gave you and me the gift of a senior brother, but it seems a little inappropriate that you, Cao Ju, didn't even say a word when you met your eldest brother, right? ?" Ye Zheng, who was dressed in a brocade robe, had always been cold and unruly. He had never been the one to strike first, but his counterattacks were also decisive and swift. He chased Cao Ju wherever he was unreasonable and attacked him fiercely: "Of course, this can't be blamed. You, after all, you have been talking nonsense to us for more than ten years. If you really hold in your fart from beginning to end, I really think you have been poisoned and your voice has been muted!"
In fact, Ye Zheng is sure of being prudent. If others use words to provoke him, maybe he will just laugh it off or ignore it, but Cao Ju is the only one who can't do it - the two of them have become disciples. They are all very close in terms of seniority and age. From childhood to adulthood, Cao Ju has been provoking everyone with his talk all the time. Of course, the one who suffers the most is Ye Zhan, so he doesn't want to bear a word - between these two people The grievances and grievances between He Nan and Zhao Xike are much deeper than that of He Nan and Zhao Xike, and there is enough money to write a play about it alone.
"It's normal for Cao Ju to salute my senior brother, but a guy who abandoned Shanhe Mansion and moved elsewhere doesn't seem to have the right to claim to be my senior brother, right?" Cao Ju's words were like a knife going straight towards Ye Zhan's heart, and he stabbed him again and again. Yi Dao: "But then again - you, Ye Erbai, have been able to hide the little calculations in your heart since you were a child. Our small mountain and river mansion must not be able to hide this big dragon like you. Isn't this just Did you learn a little bit and then walk out with your head held high to show off?"
Ye Erbai is Ye Zheng's nickname, and this nickname also has a considerable degree of praise, but in Cao Ju's mouth, it is full of irony - the first choice of Ye Zheng when he first arrived in the capital when he was thirteen years old. It is not Shanhe Academy, but the "Shao Ke" that the Imperial College uses to train young talents. After studying there for about half a year, I caught up with the examination to be promoted to the Gongjian of the Imperial College. However, my performance in the past six months has been mediocre. And it was such a person who suddenly stood up and asked the examiner a question in the middle of writing during the exam.
"Sir Examiner, if I add two hundred, can the Imperial College buy me a residence in the capital?"
There were nearly a hundred students in the examination room, all young students, many of whom were children of powerful families. After Ye Zheng suddenly made such a shocking move, not only the examiner laughed, but also these people laughed too.
"Two hundred? Two hundred taels of silver or two hundred taels of gold?" The examiner didn't have much ill will towards this mediocre-looking kid. He wasn't even familiar with the kid, but Ye Zhan's behavior was not The above-mentioned calculations were also about disrupting the order of the examination room and flouting the rules of the examination, so he spoke harshly: "There is a lot of money in the capital. Two hundred taels of silver can buy a place as big as a toilet. It would be great. If only two hundred taels of silver could buy a place as big as a toilet. There is a lot of gold, but how much can you, a little brat, take out? Let’s take a step back and say, even if you can really take it, can I really accept it? Aren’t you openly bribing the imperial officials?”
It’s not like the examiner didn’t confiscate the gift money, but it was all private dealings. It was probably the first time in history that Ye Zhan stood up in the examination room and shouted loudly like this - look at his civilian clothes, He must not be a child of a wealthy family. He probably just wants to use this to gain publicity and perhaps fish in troubled waters - but for his ignorant behavior, it would be very difficult for the Imperial College to hire him!
"I mean 200 points. Add 200 points to my last quiz score." Ye Zhan, who never stops talking without surprising words, is destined to be such a person.
He wants to fly, he wants to fly higher than others, he wants to fly faster than others, and he wants to fly more beautiful than others.
The junior college examination is somewhat different from the imperial examination system. In order to select talented children, the subjects in the junior college are calculated by scores for easy comparison. There are five items in ancient Chinese classics, poetry, scriptures, exposition and arithmetic. Take the percentage to full.
The test questions for minor subjects are usually extremely difficult - for the sake of convenience and trouble, more efforts are made to screen them. They are all selected from the serious imperial examination questions, so even the outstanding students usually only have a score of 200 or more, which is extremely high. insurmountable
To pass the three hundred level, Ye Zheng usually only gets around two hundred.
In the quiz a week ago, Ye Zheng's score was fixed at exactly 200 points, which was considered a satisfactory score. All five papers of the junior major examination were issued. Except for subjects like essays, where the answers are subject to different opinions, the rest are all dead answers, so Ye Zheng simply stood up after finishing the first four papers - he said four hundred is four hundred, even if he couldn't score a single point in essays. Also four hundred.
"You... what was your score in the last exam?" The examiner was stunned for a moment, and was led to the other side's path by this unusual boy.
"Two hundred yuan." Ye Zheng said.
"You mean you want to get a score of 400? The highest score since the establishment of the Junior College Entrance Examination is only 386. Do you dare to say that you want to get a score of 400 with a level of 200?" The examiner couldn't help but get angry: "Arrogant! I know, you must have stolen the test questions and made cheat sheets! Someone, please remove this nonsense kid from the examination room and wait for me at the Yamen! Don't step into the Imperial College again!"
Ye Zheng was a deviant. Although he had already expected how shocked he would be by his sudden and earth-shattering move, when the examiner said that he had stolen the test questions, plagiarized and cheated, he was immediately beaten in front of nearly a hundred people. He was fully clothed except for a pair of underwear to hide his shame: "Why don't you agree if you don't agree? Why do you want to accuse someone unjustly? Just check it out yourself."
After the examiner completed the examination, he could not find out the reason. Naturally, the short pair of shy pants could not hide many answers, so he asked someone to invigilate the exam on his behalf, and he dragged Ye Zhan, who was fully clothed. Yang Qingzheng and his test papers walked quietly to find the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine.
When the Jinshan Tanhuayang Jijiu heard about this incident, he was naturally quite shocked even if he personally marked the papers. He even picked up a lot of spare questions and asked Ye Zhan personally, and Ye Zhan answered fluently with almost no sluggishness. Even arithmetic, which has always been the most troublesome for urchins, is done verbally after mental arithmetic. So Yang Qingzheng really became interested in talents and agreed to support Ye Zheng in studying. This is a genius who has never been born before, and now he is invited to directly participate in the imperial examination. He can be a Jinshi without a doubt. With this guy as his disciple, it will be enough for him not to accept another student for the rest of his life!
After this incident, Ye Erbaizhi's reputation spread like wildfire in the capital, but Ye Zheng suddenly changed his mind at this time - he was suddenly a little dissatisfied with the examiner's attitude of adapting to the situation, and intuitively he didn't like Yang very much either. Qingzheng, so he beat the fish-dragon drum of Shanhe Mansion alone at this moment - as the saying goes, enemies never get together, and the person behind him... was Cao Ju, who was one year older than him.
