After rebirth, I became a national teacher

The Zhang family's legitimate branch attaches great importance to the legitimate daughter who passed away and the only grandson left behind.

Zhang wanted to cover it up, but she was determined to make some noise, making her unable to eat or sleep.

"First, interrogate them about their origins and the mastermind behind this."

"Then have them pour kerosene on the most dilapidated meditation rooms in the West Garden and set them on fire as planned."

"Master?!"

Hui'an looked at her in shock, very confused.

Chen Qingzhu said:

"They didn't set the fire, it didn't burn, so how can we report them to the authorities and punish them for arson?"

Hui'an also reacted.

Arson is a serious crime. It is quite worthwhile to make a big fuss about a few dilapidated meditation rooms and send those people to jail.

"Yes!"

Hui'an conveyed Chen Qingzhu's meaning, and Zhang Liu, the treacherous villain, quickly understood and flattered him:

"Master, what a good plan! In that case, let's first interrogate these bastards!"

Therefore, He Wang and others were immediately stripped of their outer clothes, tied up, and hung under a big tree in front of Cihang Temple to start the torture procedure.

"Who among you is the leader?"

No one dared to speak, after all, they were afraid of betraying He Wang and being retaliated against by him.

"Damn it! You don't tell the truth, right? Beat each of you with twenty sticks!"

As a result, all ten servants of the Marquis of Jingnan’s mansion were hung up and beaten severely with sticks.

He Wang had been living a life of luxury since he came to the Marquis of Jingnan Mansion with his mother. How could he endure this kind of hardship? Before the twenty sticks were even finished, he was already begging for mercy:

"Stop fighting... Stop fighting... I'm the leader!"

I regretted it deeply.

I originally thought that Cihang Temple was just a group of nuns, and murder and arson were easy tasks for men like them, but who knew that they would hit a wall.

Being able to mobilize so many strong men to keep watch at night, it is obvious that Cihang Temple has a backer.

If he had known earlier, he should not have come and asked his wife to send someone else to kick the iron wall!

Zhang Liu raised his hand, and the others stopped the execution.

He Wang said quickly:

"Brother, I am the son of the wet nurse of the wife of Marquis Jingnan. I was blind and should not have offended Cihang Temple! I beg you to let me go for the sake of the Marquis Jingnan's mansion. I will never dare to do it again next time!"

"I...I am willing to pay compensation and apologize to Cihang Temple!"

He thought that if he brought up the Jingnan Marquis Mansion, the situation would be able to be turned around.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't even change his expression, raised his palm-leaf fan and slapped him in the face, making him dizzy:

"Bullshit! You guys are going to set fire and kill people, and you're just going to pay some money?"

Facing such a strong man, He Wang was still very scared. He endured the severe pain at the corner of his mouth and stammered:

"Then...what does Big Brother want?"

"Whatever you want, I will make you all pay the price!" Zhang Liu smiled sinisterly and shouted:

"Tell me! Who ordered you to kill and burn people?"

He Wang naturally didn't dare to give Zhang away.

He just said that the Taoist nuns from Cihang Temple beat his mother in broad daylight, so he brought people to teach them a lesson and avenge his mother.

Zhang Liu looked at Hui'an.

Hui'an shook his head.

Zhang Liu slapped He Wang again:

"You're not telling the truth, are you? Come, torture me!"

The torture instruments were kindly provided by Xiyuan Torture House.

In order to prevent these people from having too many signs of torture on their surfaces, we deliberately chose methods that were both painful and inconspicuous.

The first step is to prick your finger with a needle.

"Ahhhh!"

As soon as the first finger was pierced, He Wang screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

When they were about to prick the second finger, he immediately started crying and begging for mercy:

"Don't stab me... Don't stab me... Spare me..."

"Will you tell the truth?"

Zhang Liu asked.

He Wang didn't dare to expose Zhang, so he gritted his teeth and said:

"I'm really telling the truth!"

So the interrogation continued.

He Wang was a coward after all. He had just finished one round of acupuncture when he heard Zhang Liu threaten to peel off a piece of skin from the back of his foot. He was so scared that his crotch felt hot.

"I say! I say! It was the wife of Marquis Jingnan who ordered it!"

He spat out all the words Zhang had said to him, asking him to kill people and set fires.
