"Marquis, this person's mouth is very tight. From yesterday until now, he hasn't said anything! General Yuchi said that he would be sent to the Supreme Court tomorrow! "
In a dark little room in the Right Martial Marquis Mansion, Wan Jingang's hands and feet were tied and he was hung on a beam. His hair was disheveled and he was in a very sorry state. A soldier of the Right Martial Marquis Mansion was currently explaining the situation to Li Zexuan in a low voice.
The Right Martial Marquis Mansion did not have a prison so Wan Jingang could only be temporarily locked up in this little room.
The Supreme Court of the Tang Dynasty as well as the various prefectures and counties all had prisons. The Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court and the Imperial Censorate were the three major judicial organs of the Tang Dynasty. The Supreme Court was the central judicial organ of the Tang Dynasty. It was responsible for investigating the crimes committed by the central officials as well as cases of imprisonment in the capital. The Supreme Court's trials usually took the form of a direct trial. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty followed the tradition of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and set up the Supreme Court Prison as a place to detain criminals. As the central prison, the Supreme Court Prison was mainly used to detain officials who committed crimes and important crimes in the capital. Therefore, Wan Jingang would ultimately be sent to the Supreme Court.
Apart from the Supreme Court, the Imperial Censorate of the Tang Dynasty also had a prison. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Imperial Censorate's main function was to monitor the situation. But sometimes, according to the Emperor's edict, they would carry out a trial of a criminal official and directly participate in the trial.
On the other hand, the Ministry of Justice, as one of the three departments, was not an independent judicial organ. It did not set up a prison nor did it set up a warden. But the Ministry of Justice was the highest authority to manage and monitor the prison affairs of the entire country. No matter if it was the Supreme Court or the Imperial Censorate, they all had to report to the Ministry of Justice before the 25th day of every month.
Li Zexuan frowned and said, "Is there any torture?"
Asking this kind of question showed that he had watched too many period dramas in his previous life!
As expected, the soldier's expression changed and he hurriedly looked around. After seeing that there was no one else, he hurriedly said, "Marquis, our Right Martial Marquis Mansion does not have the right to use torture. Every time we hand a criminal over to the Supreme Court, they will check if there are any traces of torture. If they discover that we used torture, they will definitely find trouble with General Yuchi!"
Wan Jingang who was hung on the beam had a mocking smile on his face. It was obvious that this fellow had nothing to fear!
"Hmph! Go get a wooden bucket! Then send someone to fetch a syringe from this marquis's estate. Just tell Steward Wang directly, he will definitely understand! "
Li Zexuan's face turned cold as he instructed the soldier.
The soldier did not understand and asked, "Marquis, what do you want the wooden bucket and the needle … needle for?"
Li Zexuan smiled coldly and said, "Since I can't torture him, then I'll give him acupuncture. Don't worry, this wound is smaller than an ant. The people of the Supreme Court won't be able to see it!"
The soldier still didn't understand. "Marquis, why are you giving this guy acupuncture?"
A devilish smile appeared on Li Zexuan's face as he said, "This person's body has blood vessels everywhere, and these blood vessels carry the blood of the human body. In a while, this marquis will insert this needle into his blood vessels, and the blood in his body will flow drop by drop into the barrel. When the barrel is full, he will only have one breath left, and no one will be able to detect the wound. Don't you think it's very satisfying?"
"Wu ~!"
The soldier couldn't help but shiver, and then subconsciously retreated two steps, maintaining a safe distance from Li Zexuan. He then cupped his fist and said, "Hou … Marquis, this little one will go and find you a wooden bucket and syringe!"
Finishing, he left as if he was escaping!
Because Yuchi Jingde had instructed them yesterday, that Li Zexuan was here. No matter what he instructed them, they must do it, as long as they don't tear down the Marquis government!
Wan Jingang who was hung on the beam, his face was filled with fear. The scene that Li Zexuan described was too terrifying! He opened his eyes wide and shook his head vigorously. "No, no, no! Marquis Yong 'an, you are a marquis personally conferred by the emperor. You using private punishment is against the law! When the time comes, the Cui family will not let you off! "
"Cui family?"
Li Zexuan sneered and looked at Wan Jingang with ridicule. "You are now just an abandoned son of the Cui family. Do you think the Cui family will care about your life and death? Oh, no, it should be said that the Cui family only wants you dead, not alive! You must know that only dead people can keep secrets the best! "
Wan Jingang refused to believe. "No! I was recruited into the Cui family by the Old Grandfather. When he returns to Chang 'an, he will definitely think of a way to save me! "
"Old Grandfather? You mean Cui Junchuo? Where is he now? "
Li Zexuan's gaze congealed as he asked.
Wan Jingang suddenly came to his senses. He seemed to have confessed without being pressed. He immediately shut his mouth and did not say another word.
Li Zexuan saw the situation and sneered. "Humph! Looks like you still haven't recognized the reality. In a while, I will let you bleed to wake you up! "
Wan Jingang clenched his teeth. "Humph! Let me bleed then! Do you think the amount of blood I, Wan Jingang have bled these few years is not enough? "
He was obviously strong in appearance but weak in reality!
Li Zexuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. After a while, the soldier from earlier brought a wooden bucket and placed it next to Wan Jingang. Li Zexuan ordered, "Use a black cloth to cover his eyes. I am afraid that he will not be able to take it and will scare himself to death!"
"… Yes! Marquis! "
The soldier and Wan Jingang shuddered. They secretly thought that Li Zexuan was really ruthless!
After a while, the soldier pulled a piece of black cloth out of nowhere and covered Wan Jingang's eyes. Li Zexuan "personally cut", oh, no, it was a needle. Fortunately, he was tall and could stand on the ground and directly insert the needle into Wan Jingang's arm.
Facing Li Zexuan, a martial arts master, Wan Jingang did not make any unnecessary struggle. This was because he knew that Li Zexuan had thousands of ways to make him lose the ability to struggle. At this time, he only felt that his arm was stung by a bug. It was not painful, so he sneered.
"Hmph! I thought it would hurt a lot! This is just scratching an itch for me, Wan Jingang! "
Li Zexuan was not angry. He said with a smile, "This Marquis' goal is not to make you feel pain. This Marquis wants you to experience the loss of life unknowingly. In the end, you won't even have the strength to open your eyes! During this process, you can't do anything! You can only wait for death slowly! "
Wan Jingang trembled. It was obvious that he had begun to feel fear in his heart. The soldier next to him saw that the light yellow rubber hose was instantly dyed dark red. Immediately after, there was a "drip" sound, and blood slid into the wooden bucket!
"Go and get a few Datang Daily for this Marquis. This Marquis will read the newspaper here today while admiring how this Wan Jingang is drained dry!"
Li Zexuan forcefully endured the disgust in his heart and ordered.
In fact, he himself was a little scared when he heard such deliberately scary "perverted" words, but in order to make Wan Jingang speak the truth, he could only "suffer" himself!
Roar ~! Marquis Yong 'an, kill me if you dare! What kind of hero are you to use such despicable means? "
Wan Jingang couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine when he thought of how all the blood in his body was about to be drained dry and how there was a person admiring the process at the side. He only wished for a quick death now!
The soldier of the Right Marquis Household looked at Li Zexuan as if he was looking at a monster and thought, Is this still the great philanthropist Marquis Yong 'an that everyone praises? Why does he look like a demon that just came out of hell!
Just as the soldier was about to give Li Zexuan the newspaper, he suddenly felt his sleeve being pulled by someone. He lowered his head and saw that it was Li Zexuan who had pulled him. He was bewildered and was about to ask when he saw Li Zexuan shove a ball of paper into his hand with lightning speed and make a shushing gesture. The soldier was also a quick-witted person. He quickly nodded and retreated.
"Commandant Zhou, Marquis, what's written on it? Tell me quickly! "
In a side hall of the Wu Marquis Household, the soldier who previously served Li Zexuan was scratching his ears and cheeks as he surrounded a middle-aged man and asked anxiously.
Looking at him, he was obviously illiterate. The note Li Zexuan passed to him earlier was really a waste!
"You! The General usually tells us to read more books when we have time. Shen Sige, you just don't listen! "
The middle-aged man surnamed Zhou pointed at the soldier and grumbled.
But grumbling was grumbling. He still started to help Shen Sige read the contents of the note.
"A jug of water, a funnel, and two soldiers? Shen Sige, are you sure this is the note Marquis gave you? "
The content of the note was very simple. Commandant Zhou finished reading it very quickly. But he didn't quite understand the contents of the note.
Shen Sige frowned and thought for a while, then said excitedly, "I understand! Thank you, Commandant Zhou! "
With that, he ran off like a wisp of smoke!
…
"Drip Drip ~ Drip Drip!"
In a dark room, the sound of water dripping could be heard from time to time. A young man sat at the door, calmly flipping through the latest issues of Datang Daily. His face would occasionally reveal a smile. It could be seen that he was in a good mood.
But the burly man who was hung on the beam was not in a good mood. His face was pale. Because he wanted to break free, his wrists and ankles were left with deep purple marks. His lips were dry. He didn't shout or shout. Because he had shouted for a long time, but it was useless. The young man was unmoved by his shouts.
But it couldn't be said that he was completely unmoved. When he cursed, the young man would fiercely kick him in the stomach. It was so painful that he couldn't even breathe!
"Marquis, it's already noon. Why don't you go and have your meal first. I'll help you watch?"
When it was close to noon, Shen Sige ran over and asked carefully.
Li Zexuan put down the newspaper and replied, "No need! Go to Drunken Immortal restaurant and get me a plate of Lion's Head, a plate of fried bean sprouts, and a small pot of Immortal Drunken Wine. This Marquis will eat here for lunch! Let Shopkeeper Liu prepare a few more portions, and let the brothers on duty in the Wu Hou Government have a taste! "
Shen Sige said in fear and trepidation, "Oh! Marquis, you're too kind! The brothers are on duty, how can they drink? "
Li Zexuan raised his eyebrows in surprise. He secretly thought that the military discipline here was quite strict. He waved his hand and said, "Then bring more food over. Treat it as this Marquis's reward to the brothers!"
"Thank you, Marquis!"
"En! As for this Wan Jingang, don't let him eat for lunch! Based on the speed of his bleeding, he should be able to bleed out by tonight! Letting him eat would be a waste! "
"You! Marquis Yong An you're too much! "
Ever since Wan Jingang was caught yesterday morning in Wu Hou government, he had not eaten a single bite of food. And after going through Li Zexuan's torture, he felt that he was really exhausted! Hearing Li Zexuan's words, his lungs were about to explode!
"Ignore him! Go quickly! "
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said.
Shen Sige obeyed and left.
In the afternoon, the military officials and soldiers on duty in the Right Wu Hou government, were considered to have "freeloaded" a big meal. The Drunken Immortal restaurant's top quality food and dishes, they usually could not bear to eat a plate of it. But now they could eat heartily. In a moment, the entire Wu Hou government was filled with the aroma of food! Wan Jingang who was starving, in the aroma of the food and wine, felt that death was better than living. Every day felt like a year!
"Marquis, your subordinate heard a news outside. It said that the Cui family donated two thousand strings of coins to the Nuan Tang Foundation! Hey! Looks like they are starting to give in! "
Li Zexuan invited Shen Sige to have lunch at the entrance of the "little black room". During the meal, Shen Sige smiled and said a piece of news. Wan Jingang heard this and could not help but frown deeply.
Li Zexuan seemed to sigh carelessly and said, "Everyone thinks that the Cui family is high above and will never fall. Hehe! Let's wait and see! Mm, let's not talk about that. This Drunken Immortal is still the best! Tsk tsk! Even an immortal would not exchange it! "
"Gugu ~!"
While Li Zexuan was enjoying the food and wine, Wan Jingang's stomach started growling. Li Zexuan smiled at the two soldiers who were standing beside Wan Jingang and doing 'unknown' things. "Come, come, come. The two of you, take turns to eat. Just keep an eye on him and don't let him commit suicide by biting his tongue!"
The two of them looked at each other. Seeing Shen Sige nodding at them, they replied, "Thank you, Marquis!"
Thus, only the sound of chewing and the very rhythmic dripping sound was left in the room.
The starving Wan Jingang was even more tormented by these two sounds. His arms and legs had already lost feeling. It was probably because he had lost too much blood! If he had a knife in his hand at this moment, his first reaction would not be to slash at Li Zexuan but his own neck!
In the afternoon.
After some time, the dripping sound suddenly stopped. Li Zexuan raised his head and said, "What's wrong? Did he bleed dry so quickly? The two of you, quickly press on his arm and help him squeeze. Maybe he can squeeze out some blood! Shen Sige, help me get another pot of "wine". How can there be no wine for such an elegant thing? Haha! "
Wan Jingang's face turned even paler. He roared with his already hoarse voice, "Lunatic! Lunatic! You are the devil! I beg you to kill me! "
"Heh! You want to die? How can it be so easy? Your blood hasn't been drained yet! "
Li Zexuan laughed.
