Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Li Shen looked at the general's expression, then looked at his trembling legs and smiled.

"Are you scared? Let me tell you, death is not the most terrifying thing in the world. The most terrifying thing is waiting for death, and the most painful thing is that life is worse than death.

I advise you to think carefully about whether you can withstand these punishments. I have more than a dozen punishments that I have not told you. I wonder if you are interested in hearing them? "Li Shen poked his head out gloomily. Coupled with the dim light in the cell, it looked particularly terrifying.

"I...I...I said, my name is Feng Shanwu, I am from Tong County, Tongzhou Prefecture, and I serve as the Tongzhou Dianjun." Feng Shanwu finally said dejectedly

Feng Shanwu made a move, as Li Shen said, the most painful thing is that life is worse than death, and the most fearful thing is waiting for death. As a saying often said by later generations, what humans fear most is the unknown.

The officer from the Punishment Department on the side looked in disbelief. Shouldn't he be recruited after being tortured? Why did he get punished before he was punished? King Ji just talked about the method of torture and he did it? The yamen servants are preparing various large-scale services.

But it’s actually not difficult to explain. People in this era have no faith and can be said to be just outsiders. Just look at how many surrendered generals there are in the Manchu Dynasty.

There is no such thing as a loyal and brave person. Isn’t there a proverb in later generations? It is better to learn from the Taoyuan three-member sworn brotherhood than to follow the Wagang stick of incense. What scholars pay attention to is that good birds choose trees to roost in, and wise ministers choose their masters to serve.

Okay, let's get back to the topic. Seeing Feng Shanwu speak to Li Shen felt a sense of accomplishment. At least the short TV series and videos in his previous life were not wasted.

"Look, this is great. Isn't this a good start? Why bother fighting and killing?" Li Shen said with a smile.

The jailers who were with Li Shen all felt cold behind their backs. This King Ji was really evil. The types of torture he mentioned were much more severe than simple torture, not only physical but also psychological torture, but he also said not to hit or kill anyone.

"Feng Shanwu, let's continue and tell me who asked you to kill me." Li Shen asked

"Your Majesty, don't ask anymore, I won't tell you. I just ask Your Majesty to give me a happy life, and I am willing to pay for it with my life." Feng Shanwu pleaded.

"Hmph! Paying for your crime with your life? You, a small soldier, want to exchange the life of a prince of mine. Are you worthy? It seems that you won't confess honestly without letting you suffer some pain." He said to The guard beside him whispered a few words.

After the guard nodded and went out, Li Shen continued: "I am not married yet, so I don't want to see blood. I will give you something to write today. I hope you will like it."

After a moment, the guard came in holding a sheep in one hand and a jar in the other.

"Tie him up on the bench and take off his shoes," Li Shen ordered. The jailer stepped forward and trapped Feng Shanwu on the bench. Li Shen asked someone to open the jar again, smear the contents on Feng Shanwu's feet, and then brought the sheep over.

"Feng Shanwu, I know you are afraid that they will harm your family. Don't worry, if you confess, I will immediately send someone to Tongzhou to take your family to my imperial village.

I personally begged your Majesty to absolve them of their sins, but for you, I can only save your life and send you to Lingnan. "Li Shen gave Feng Shanwu an ultimatum. Seeing that Feng Shanwu didn't speak, Li Shen waved his hand.

The guard led the sheep to Feng Shanwu's feet. The sheep immediately stuck out its tongue and began to lick the soles of his feet. : "Hahaha...hahaha...hahaha..."

In Li Shen's previous life, when he was a child, his family raised sheep. The sheep's tongues were relatively long and had barbs like cats, which made them itchy and unbearable when they licked the soles of people's feet.

Feng Shanwu was struggling desperately on the bench, but the government officials not only trapped him all over, but also held him down to prevent him from moving.

"Haha, please... Hahaha, please Lord... Haha. Give me a break. Haha" Feng Shanwu desperately begged for mercy, but Li Shen drank tea and ignored him.

After a quarter of an hour, Feng Shanwu began to have difficulty breathing. Li Shen waved his hand and the guards pulled away the sheep.

"Well, I'm not very happy with this method. Seeing that you're tired from laughing, I'll let you rest for a while while we continue." Li Shen said with a smile.

"My lord, please kill me. I'm just a nobody. No one can afford to offend me. Please let my whole family go." Feng Shanwu begged for mercy with tears streaming down his face.

"Let you go, then who will let me go? Do you think I don't know that the noble family wants to kill me? I just want to know who it is.

You also said that you are just a small person, why bother getting involved? To tell you the truth, what I just promised you is still valid.

Do you think the family will protect your family like me? The person I am looking for cannot be found. Because I have a lot of money. Li Shen shouted angrily. Feng Shanwu fell silent again, and Li Shen waved his hand to continue.

Just like that, the second criminal trial began. The government officials who were watching the fun were all dumbfounded that they could still play like this. And I just found out why King Ji let the prisoner take a break. Is he afraid that if he dies, people can still laugh to death? This King Ji is having fun.

"My lord, I'll do it, I'll do it." At the end of the second round, Feng Shanwu couldn't hold it any longer. It would be okay if he died like this, but Li Shen would not let him die like this. No one can handle this round.

"Tell me, who asked you to come." Li Shen motioned to the doctor from the Ministry of Justice who was following him to prepare a confession.

"It was Wei Yuanzheng, the governor of Tongzhou. When I broke the military regulations and I had to be executed, Wei Yuanzheng saved my life, but he never asked me for anything in return.

I owe Wei Yuanzheng my life, so this time Wei Yuanzheng came to me and asked me to help him with something, and I agreed without hesitation. Moreover, Wei Yuanzheng also promised to let me live in seclusion in another way after I accomplished the task.

I knew it was a capital crime and I was prepared to die. Sir, please save my family of seven. When I came, Wei Yuanzheng said that in order to protect my family, he took them all into the Governor's Mansion.

I don't regret dying. Please save my family. I can repay you in any way you want me to. "Feng Shanwu said with tears in his eyes.

In fact, repaying gratitude is only one aspect. The main reason is that Wei Yuanzheng threatened the lives of his family members. Otherwise, how could he dare to agree to such a serious crime of genocide?

Li Shen thought for a long time, then looked up at Feng Shanwu: "I can send people to save your family, but it seems that you still have something to say.

There is no difference between confessing one person and confessing two. Do you want me to remind you? How did you, these hundreds of people, get to Chang'an? Mobilizing troops and horses requires a warrant from the Ministry of War, otherwise you won't even be able to get through Tongzhou.

explain! Who wrote the note to you, or who is your insider in the Ministry of War? "Li Shen slammed the table and shouted loudly
