Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

Finally, he stopped at the third wooden prison, looked at the tall middle-aged jailer, and asked, "Huang Kuan?"

"I am humble!"

Huang Kuan held the wooden fence and said excitedly: "Ping Kangbo, Yu Shaoqing really wasn't killed by a lowly job!"

Zhang Dun said in a deep voice, "Whether it's you or not, I can judge for myself."

"Boss Yang, take the other four out of the prison first, and help me prepare a few things."

After finishing speaking, he whispered what he wanted in Bantou Yang's ear.

"Understandable!"

Team leader Yang made a promise, and left the Jingzhao Mansion Prison with the other four suspected jailers.

When he came back again, he was carrying a wooden barrel, a bundle of hemp rope, a dagger and a bench as high as one person in his hand.

And, a water dripper.

"Open the door!" Zhang Dun took the water dripping glass from his hand, and pouted his chin towards the small door of the wooden prison.

Seeing Zhang Dun walk in with Team Leader Yang, Huang Kuan said nervously, "Ping Kangbo, you, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Dun said solemnly: "I will punish you."

"..." Huang Kuan looked at him in shock, are you so sincere, without any concealment, he shouted excitedly: "I really didn't kill Yu Shaoqing!"

Zhang Dun's eyes were blank and he said: "Murderers will shout that when they see that the government has no evidence."

Huang Kuan was in a hurry, "Then you can ask me a few words!"

Zhang Dun asked back: "Ask you, will you tell the truth?"

Huang Kuan nodded hastily, "Yes, definitely!"

Zhang Dun said expressionlessly, "But I don't want to hear it."

Huang Kuan: "???"

Zhang Dun set up the bench and let Huang Kuan lie down.

Huang Kuan lay down on his back very reluctantly, he knew what consequences he would face if he didn't follow suit.

Zhang Dun put the barrel under the bench, tied the water dripper to the top of the barrel, and said to Team Leader Yang, "Come and help, and cover his eyes."

"Give him another cut on the finger."

Tick, tick, tick!

Suddenly, the sound of blood dripping on the wooden barrel resounded in the silent prison.

Because the law and order in Chang'an City has been good recently, the prison in Jingzhao Mansion has not detained any prisoners.

Except for Yu Tao, who was also killed at this moment.

Zhang Dun looked at Huang Kuan who was struggling slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Your blood is dripping down the wound and into the barrel."

Hearing this, Huang Kuan stopped struggling and said cautiously, "That's it, that's it? Is this a big punishment?"

Zhang Dun didn't say a word, he first raised his finger and made a gesture of silence to Bantou Yang, then leaned against the wall with his arms around his shoulders, looking at Huang Kuan calmly.

Is this man a murderer?

He didn't know, but as long as he used this punishment, he should be able to find some clues.

Tick, tick, tick...

"Ping Kangbo, Ping Kangbo!"

In the prison, there was silence, only the sound of ticking, which kept ringing in the wooden barrel.

Huang Kuan's face changed from relaxed to pale, and he became anxious.

He called anxiously.

But no response!

Tick, tick, tick...

As time passed by, Huang Kuan struggled violently while shouting.

But because the hemp rope was tied tightly, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.

Soon, Huang Kuan's whole body began to twitch.

"It wasn't me, I really didn't kill him!"

"I didn't kill anyone!!"

"Whoa, why don't you believe me!"

"I really...really...no..."

Huang Kuan's voice was crying, and his voice gradually weakened.

At this moment, the cloth covering the eyes was torn off.

The dazzling light from the torch flickered in front of my eyes.

"The wound on your hand has already healed."

Zhang Dun's voice also rang in his ears.

"..." However, Huang Kuan felt that the voice was getting farther and farther away, his neck drooped, and he passed out.

Team leader Yang was startled, and said, "Ping Kangbo, he seems to be dying!"

"I can't die, I'm just dizzy." Zhang Dun rolled Huang Kuan's eyelids, waved his hand and said, "Take him away! Take him to Jingzhao Mansion Yamen for treatment, and another one."

"No!" Leader Yang hurriedly untied the rope, carried Huang Kuan on his back, and ran out of the prison in Jingzhao Mansion.

At the gate of the prison, Tang Jian was like an ant on a hot pot, pacing anxiously.

Seeing Bantou Yang coming out with someone on his back, he hurriedly stopped him, and seeing the dying Huang Kuan, he was surprised and said, "What happened to him?!"

"Dizzy!" Bantou Yang explained.

The four jailers standing aside stretched their necks to look over, and they couldn't help being moved when they saw Huang Kuan's miserable state.

"Is it just dizzy? Why does he look like he's dying?"

"Tang Fu Yin, we don't want to use big punishment!"

The jailer Yang Si said excitedly: "You can't punish us to death because of Yu Shaoqing's death?"

"If you want to extort a confession by torture, torture into a trick, and let us bear this life, I will do it now!"

Chapter 397 The murderer, could it be him?

Tang Jian didn't bother to pay attention to them, but looked Huang Kuan up and down, and made sure that there was no place where he had been tortured except for wounds on his fingers, and said in confusion:

"Strange, how could such a shallow wound almost kill him?"

"How did Zhang Dun do it?"

"I don't know." Recalling the scene just now, Team Leader Yang said with frightened eyes, "Ping Kangbo asked me to cut his finger. For some reason, he almost died."

"What else does Zhang Dun want from you?"

"Ping Kangbo said that he would take this one away and replace it with another one."

Tang Jian nodded, and said: "Take him to the government office for treatment, let others do it, you watch them."

After that, he looked at Yang Si, a tall and thin man in his thirties, and waved, "Yang Si, come in with me."

"Can I not go?" Yang Si trembled.

Not only him, but the other three jailers also showed frightened expressions.

Seeing Huang Kuan's miserable state.

I can't help but they are not afraid.

No one expected that Ping Kangbo, who was usually kind to others, would have such a vicious side!

"If you don't go in, I will tell you to move your head now!"

Tang Jian said in a cold tone: "I tell you, before Yu Shaoqing died, only five of you had contact with him!"

"You five are all suspects!"

"I'm not trying to extract a confession from you with Heping Kangbo, but to give someone who is not a murderer an innocence!"

Tang Jian pointed to the direction of the prison, and shouted: "The death of Yu Shaoqing is of great importance, and it is related to the lives of my official and Ping Kangbo."

"There are only five hours left before the court."

"It's good for you and me to find out the murderer within five hours."

"If you can't find out."

Tang Jian glanced at their cheeks sharply, and said: "Before I die, I will definitely drag the murderer to be buried with me. If I hurt innocent people, I will intercede for you in the underworld!"

They are all dead, you have a fart to plead for mercy!

Everyone smiled wryly, but they also understood that Tang Jian was not joking with them.

He can do it!

Yang Si's face was pale, and he followed Tang Jian tremblingly to the prison.

From a distance, one could see the flickering fire in the wooden prison.

Under the light of the burning torch, Zhang Dun was tall and tall, standing with his hands down.

Others don't know, but Yang Si only feels that his scalp is tight now.

When Zhang Dun saw Tang Jian, he didn't say much. He stared at Yang Si, pointed to the bench, and said, "Is that Yang Si?? Lie on it."

Yang Si was like a docile sheep, obediently lying flat on the bench, allowing Zhang Dun to cover his eyes with a cloth and bind his whole body.

Feeling his fingers being cut by the blade, Yang Si gritted his teeth and dared not make a sound.

Tick, tick, tick...

The fire was extinguished, and in the pitch-black wooden prison where you could not see your fingers, there was the sound of dripping water.

Is it your own blood?Yang Si secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if it wasn't a severe punishment.

This is the big punishment?

Tang Jian frowned, also a little confused, can this work?

If it is not considered a severe punishment, when Huang Kuan was carried out, he was indeed dying, as if he was about to die.

It can be said that it is a big punishment...

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it.

Tang Jian looked at Zhang Dun, Zhang Dun shook his head, raised his finger at him, and made a silent movement.

Tang Jian nodded and stood with him, silently looking at Yang Si who was tied up.

Time passed by minute by minute.

A quarter of an hour later, Yang Si, who was tied to the bench, felt a little uncomfortable, and said loudly:

"Tang Fu Yin, Ping Kangbo, are you still there?"

"Say something."

"Tang Fu Yin, Tang Fu Yin!"

One call after another, in exchange for silence.

Yang Si felt that his whole body had fallen into the quagmire of fear.

The sound of ticking, like water droplets.

But he didn't feel like it, it was more like the sound of a finger being cut and blood dripping on a wooden barrel!

"I didn't do it, please let me go, I didn't kill anyone!"

Yang Si changed from struggling slightly to violently, roaring, "I don't want to die, please spare me, Ping Kangbo!"

"Is there anyone, help me!"
