I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 25 Waterboarding
Poor Nicanor had no idea that his tragic fate was coming, and he still frantically provoked Antigonus, trying to arouse the latter's anger.

However, Antico had received special training in the police academy in his previous life, and was able to control his emotions. He was not affected by him, but just folded his arms and looked at the former military consul like a clown indifferently.

Soon, Nicanor was captured and tied to a wooden chair, and Cronos, who was ordered by Antigonus to prepare things, also walked in with a bucket of water and a stack of white paper.

Although he didn't know what was the use of His Majesty asking him to bring these things over, looking at Antigonus's cold eyes, he felt a little apprehensive.

"Your Majesty, here comes what you want." He said cautiously.

"En." Antigonus replied, then glanced at the white paper in Kronos' hand, reached out to pick up one, touched it, and nodded.

Under the puzzled eyes of the people around, Antigono directly covered the face of Nicanor, who was still shouting, with the white paper. The latter was startled, but soon continued shouting.Antico reached out to scoop up a bowl of water and poured it on the white paper. When the white paper met the water, it stuck directly to the person's skin.

Nicanor's shouting stopped immediately. The white paper felt bad sticking to his skin. He wanted to shake his head and shake the paper off, but was restrained by several soldiers and unable to move.

Antigonus pasted a piece of paper on his face again, and poured water on it. After repeated several times, Nikanor's face was covered with several layers of wet paper, which almost blocked his nose. Feeling that he can't breathe, he can only exhale through his mouth, but a large amount of air is blocked by wet paper, even if he struggles desperately to breathe like a fish leaving the water, it still doesn't help.

Antigonus looked at the struggling Nicanor expressionlessly. This kind of punishment is called waterboarding, which originated during the Spanish Inquisition in the Middle Ages (it is also said that it can be traced back to Hammurabi, the earliest written code in the world). Code), is a torture recognized around the world.

Estimating the time, Antigonus ordered someone to peel off the wet paper on Nicanor's face so that he would not die of suffocation immediately.Nicanor, who was able to breathe again, immediately panted heavily, and then coughed violently.

Looking at his bloodshot eyes, Antigonus asked indifferently: "Nicanor, I will give you a chance to tell everything you know, otherwise I will let you try what you just did. "

"You...you...you are a demon!"

"Huh?" Antigon raised his brows, waved his hand, and ordered to the surrounding soldiers, "Like what I did just now, execute the punishment."

"no, you can not……"

Before Nicanor finished his terrified words, several soldiers pressed him down forcibly, covered his face with new paper, and poured water on it.

Seeing all this, Cronus couldn't help swallowing, what a cruel punishment, it's really frightening to be on the verge of drowning and surviving.

Nicanor only persisted for two rounds before he chose to give in. His face was pale, and he looked at Antigonus with fear in his eyes, as if looking at a demon from hell.

Antigonus looked at him with great interest, and asked, "Nicanor, tell me, tell me everything you know."

"I advise you not to play any tricks. Apart from the waterboarding just now, I have a more painful torture that has yet to be used."

"I don't know if you have ever heard of a kind of torture, which is to bury a person in the soil with only one head exposed, then cut his head into a cross from the top of the head, and pour mercury into it. People who are poured with mercury will Unable to bear the pain, he jumped out from the cross above his head, leaving a piece of skin inside..."

Before Antigonus finished speaking, Nicanor was frightened to death. Although he was famous for his bravery in the kingdom, he could not withstand such a cruel punishment. He immediately told everything he knew and told Zeus I swear that everything I say is true.

……

With Nicanor's confession, Antigonus returned to the palace. At this time, the soldiers in charge of raiding the house also returned with a lot of wealth and the testimony they had found, except for the Agathalgidide family. In addition to the large amount of wealth stored and the letters of Euphemia and his accomplices, they also captured Euphemia's trusted eunuch who was trying to escape, that is, the waiter who had always been disdainful when facing Antigonus.

Once he fell, the eunuch no longer had the same air as before. He was like a pug kneeling in front of Antigonus, crawling on his knees, trying to hug Antigonus' legs and kiss his boots.Antigonus showed disgust, kicked the eunuch away, ordered someone to catch him, and put him in prison for interrogation.

Since he was Euphemia's confidant, this eunuch must have a lot of information, and Antigonus wanted to squeeze out his use value before disposing of it.

The next day.

After one night, the city of Pella also recovered from the turmoil brought about by the war. Thanks to Antigonus's foresight, he sent the tribal and clan coalition troops who came with him back to the hometown in advance, which prevented tribal soldiers from harassing the citizens. situation occurs.

However, the citizens were still worried about Antigonus killing the sacred priest Cleantes. After they woke up in the morning, they walked out of their homes in unison and walked in the city square in front of the Palazzo Vecina. Gather together and demand a reasonable answer from His Majesty the King.

Antigonus was well prepared for this and ordered people to paste the incriminating evidence of Euphemia, Cleanthes, Nicanor and others that had been sorted out overnight on the outside of the palace wall, and asked several soldiers to stand in front of the incriminating evidence. Read the content aloud to the onlookers.

Antigonus's diversion of attention was very successful. The citizens were really enraged by the evidence of Euphemia and the two, especially when they heard that Cleantes had been drunk with his own niece Ophelia. After Mia's incest, her anger became even more intense.

The next thing has nothing to do with Antigonus, he just needs to take advantage of the situation and declare Euphemia treason in the name of the king, and expel her family from the country-oh, Nicanor's end will be even worse One point, because he attempted to lead an army to attack the king, he would be sentenced to death, and his family members would also be implicated, all his property would be confiscated, and his family would be sold as slaves.

Of course, Antigonus would not leave any trouble for himself. He upheld the principle of cutting grass and root, and decided to order Euphemia's family to be executed after deporting them from the country.Although Euphemia escaped, the reward for her will never be cancelled, and Antigonus will use the wealth stolen from her house as a reward, so that the mercenaries in Pella City will take the initiative to find her. trace.
