Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened." Li An hurriedly ran in.

Li Shimin was shocked for the first time. There are not many things that can make Li An so panicked. Could someone be attacking the palace? Or someone rebelled?

"What's the matter?" Li Shimin stood up and said

"Reporting to the saint, hundreds of horses have just come to report that King Ji was attacked forty miles northeast of Chang'an."

"What? Is Lao Shi okay?" Li Shimin was shocked. asked quickly

"Prince Ji is fine, only a dozen guards were injured or killed. Fortunately, the palace's cavalry battalion arrived in time to surround and kill the thieves. Now His Highness, Prince Ji, has brought the thieves' bodies and prisoners to the Suzaku Gate for public display. I just went to see them. There are thousands of corpses and more than 200 prisoners. But..." Li An didn't know what to say when he said this.

"Speak quickly," Li Shimin urged.

"But I just saw that half of them are my soldiers from the Tang Dynasty. Judging from the armor they are wearing, they should be cavalry."

"What? Mansion soldiers?" After hearing this, Li Shimin's face turned dark. Mobilizing the army of the Tang Dynasty to intercept and kill the prince of the Tang Dynasty was so arrogant. He was not taken seriously as the emperor at all.

"Your Majesty, King Ji wants to see you." The eunuch outside reported

"Let him in quickly." Li Shimin walked down the steps and saw Li Shen coming in and started to look up and down. I felt relieved when I saw that Li Shen was not injured.

"I've seen Aye" Li Shen saluted

"Well, I heard that you were assassinated? What happened? Do you know who did it?" Li Shimin calmed down immediately when he saw that Li Shen was fine.

"Back to Aye, I just went to the dock. On the way back, I was attacked by a group of men in black. Their equipment was not as good as ours. When they were defeated, I didn't expect a wave of soldiers to come out. They were all fully equipped cavalry. .

Fortunately, Xue Rengui arrived in time, otherwise it would be really dangerous this time. I still don’t know who sent it, but I guess it has something to do with the noble family.

I brought all the prisoners back and prepared to interrogate the leading general. I think I should be able to find some useful information. "Li Shen is ready to interrogate him personally.

"I don't think so. These officers and soldiers may not know the details, but the general may know. But he may not tell. If they tell, their family members will die." Li Shimin analyzed

"Hmph. If I don't tell him, his family members will still die. I want to see if he is loyal or filial." After experiencing a bloody battle, Li Shen's heart also changed a little.

"Okay, bring them all to the Criminal Department. I will ask the Criminal Department to assist you and find out the cause and effect as soon as possible. This matter is not a trivial matter. Do you know that you will need more guards when you go out in the future?"

"It's Aye, then I'll go and get busy." Li Shen excused himself and went directly to the Criminal Department

Li Shen left, but Li Shimin's eyes were filled with murderous intent and anger. How arrogant is it to dare to intercept and kill the prince in broad daylight.

Prison

The captured general was tied to a shelf. Li Shen asked the guards to bring in tables and chairs, set up the tea table, and began to slowly brew tea. I didn’t mean to be in a hurry at all. After brewing, I poured a glass myself, put it under my nose and smelled it.

"Good tea, fragrant."

"I'm asking you now, you definitely won't say anything, right?" Li Shen didn't even look at the general.

"Humph, of course. Now that I have done it, I have already considered the consequences. You might as well kill me. No need to waste your breath." The general snorted coldly.

"Well, let's think of something now. You are like the tough guy in my impression. In this case, I can torture you.

Of course I know you may choose to commit suicide, but let me warn you. Someone among the more than 200 prisoners must know you.

If you commit suicide I will find your family, so think clearly. And if the person who ordered you knows that you are dead. Do you think they will kill people and silence them forever to avoid future troubles? Li Shen said calmly while drinking tea.

"One person is responsible for each person's work. Could it be that your majestic prince would do such an unethical thing?" The general panicked.

"Moral justice?? Hahaha, thousands of people ambushed and killed this king, and you still talk to me about justice? You are really ridiculous. Truth is for the weak. You are a smart man and you don't understand this truth.

If the king is kind-hearted and you don't die, I will never touch your family. Let's take our time and play. What do you think?" Li Shen didn't rush him after he finished speaking. Li Shen was not in a hurry. As a modern person, although he has not been interrogated, he has a reserve of knowledge. There are still some.

After watching so many intrigue TV series, I still learned a few things. Li Shen was ready to talk first.

"Have you thought about it? We can start with something simple. What is your name, where you are from, where you are a soldier, and what position you hold." Li Shen asked slowly

The general turned his head and said nothing. Li Shen was not angry when he saw this situation and continued: "Actually, if you don't tell me, I will know it if I ask the more than 200 people. So don't suffer the consequences of this matter. It will not be worth the loss for you." Say yes or no.”

Li Shen looked at the general and continued without saying a word: "If you don't want to say anything, then I will tell you. What kind of punishment will I use on you? Come and prepare a pen and paper to write down everything I said. .”

After the official of the Ministry of Justice finished preparing, Li Shen said: "Well, let's start with the first type, which I call the Tiger Stool: it has a long stool and a wooden stake that is strong enough to hold you with your back against the wooden stake. On the bench, during the execution, the knees were tied with iron chains to prevent them from bending, and blue bricks were placed under the feet.

Wow, that hurts. You can hear the sound of the bones separating. The average person will not have more than four bones at most. Generally, when three to four bones are used, the bones will have separated from the knee. The pain was truly unbearable, and many people died from the pain. When the time comes, you will yell and shout, but it will not help. "

Li Shen took a sip of tea and said: "How powerful is it? I'm going to tell you about the second method: dipping a leather whip in cold water. I don't need to explain this. But we have another step, which is to add some salt to the water. . Then every whip will have a blood mark, plus the stimulation of salt water, wow! It’s a pain, it hurts even thinking about it.”

"This third type has a more elegant name, it's called Tiejiaguan. What does it mean? It means that if you get Tiejia, you can be promoted to a higher rank.

Take a piece of paper, spray it with a little water, stick it to your face once it's damp, and then continue the same process. At that time, you will feel difficulty breathing and want to struggle desperately, but I will tie your hands and feet to prevent you from breaking free.

You are waiting for death while you are unable to breathe, struggling, and afraid. Panic. Even if there is a flow of shit and urine, no one can carry seven pieces of paper. I estimate that you may die after five pieces of paper. Wait until you are dead and the paper dries. When you take it off, it will be a complete picture of your face, and you can truly see how scared you were at that time and your expression when you were about to die. "Li Shen said slowly, while the tied general's legs began to tremble.

He was afraid.
