Kaifeng House Small Dining Table

As long as the other party didn't take off her clothes and found out who she was, Zhao Hanyan was very good at cheating, so let's start with a simple 'change the subject' and poke at the other party's sore spots.

"Does Shangshu Song know where he lost?"

Zhao Hanyan was not afraid of Song Tingkong's scrutiny. How could Zhao Hanyan lose his aura at this time, not to mention that the person opposite was just a criminal who was caught without a fight.

Song Tingkong looked at Zhao Hanyan with sharper eyes.

"Song Shangshu is cautious in his work and well-organized. This is his strength, but it is also because of these strengths that you are so self-righteous that you dare to abduct people in Deping County, which is only a hundred miles away from Tokyo. Six years later, even their parents You are close at hand, and let these children do things for you near Tokyo City. Indeed, you can control them, and they dare not recognize their parents, but you have left more loopholes for people to discover." Zhao Hanyan said.

Song Tingkong twitched his mouth and sneered a few times, but he didn't respond to Zhao Hanyan's words.

"Every time you see these children obediently controlled by you and played around by your lies, aren't you very proud?" Zhao Hanyan asked.

Song Tingkong looked at Zhao Hanyan indifferently, and sneered again.

"It was worth taking a risk on the selection. The six of them did not disappoint me."

Song Tingkong took a step forward, getting closer to Zhao Hanyan.

Bai Yutang immediately held the knife in his hand tightly and stood in front of Zhao Hanyan.

"You are trying to frustrate me by finding faults, but you want to break me down so that you can expose more flaws and be scared to reveal everything by you?" Song Tingkong asked Zhao Hanyan with a smile, "I'm afraid this will disappoint you. Used it years ago."

Zhao Hanyan looked at Bao Zheng.

Song Tingkong stared at Zhao Hanyan's small movements, and continued: "Not bad, but you are still too young. If you are the same age as me, maybe there is a way to cure me right now."

Bao Zheng patted the gavel again, corrected Song Tingkong and said: "He has already cured you, you are now a prisoner."

Bao Zheng ordered Song Tingkong to play smart and confess truthfully.

Song Tingkong sneered: "We have been officials in the same dynasty for ten years, do you think I will obediently listen to your words and confess?"

"My lord, you can use torture." Zhao Hanyan suggested.

Hearing this, Song Tingkong found it even more ridiculous, and lamented that Zhao Hanyan was still too immature to think of such a stupid way. "Even the subordinates I teach are not afraid of this. You actually think that I will obey your words because of this mere physical pain?"

"How will you know if you don't try?" Zhao Hanyan stared at Song Tingkong, then turned to look at Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.Bao Zheng was very clear about Song Tingkong's temperament. He would definitely not confess in a normal interrogation. Anyway, there is not much possibility of getting evidence, so it doesn't matter if you try.

There are not many punishments in court, Zhao Hanyan suggested that Bao Zheng can escort Song Tingkong to the prison, where he will be tortured on special instruments of torture, where there are various instruments of torture, all of which are placed on the table or hung on the wall.The interrogation room was already dark, and it was scary with these instruments. There were still some old and blackened blood stains on the torture instruments, and it would be even more terrifying if some fresh blood was sprinkled on it.

After Song Tingkong was escorted, looking at the environment in the room, his original expression of indifference gradually became tense, and his eyes paused slightly when he saw the instruments of torture.

Zhao Hanyan followed Bai Yutang, watching Song Tingkong being tied to the torture tools with cold eyes.Judging from his movements, he has gradually become stiff, and there seems to be unconcealable fear in his eyes.Song Tingkong, as the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, has trained so many powerful subordinates, so he has long been accustomed to the pain of flesh and blood.But people who can calmly deal with the pain, injury and death of others may not be able to bear this pain themselves.This is the so-called 'look easy', but it may not be easy when you actually do it yourself.

"I remember that there was a method of death in the case of the Zhang family, which could kill people without injury."

"Tie Jiaguan?" Zhao Hu asked immediately.

As soon as Song Tingkong heard these three words, his whole body was completely stiff. He glared at Zhao Hanyan, and then he might be afraid that the other party was trying to scare him, so he immediately turned his eyes away without showing any expression on his face.But when the clerk pushed him down, pressed his hands tightly, and someone else stuck paper on his face, intending to pour water on it, Song Tingkong's body began to tremble slightly.At this moment, countless scenes similar to those of posting officials appeared in his mind, which he had seen before when he was punishing his subordinates in the Ministry of Punishment or privately.

When the water poured on the paper on his face, the paper stuck to his face wetly and stuck to his nostrils, making it extremely difficult to breathe.This is just a piece of paper, if it gets thicker layer by layer...

Song Tingkong struggled hard, coughed, and shouted that Bao Zheng had behaved wrongly, that he tortured the prisoner to extract a confession, that he was a hypocrite deceiving the emperor, that he asked for a face saint, and so on.

With his hands behind his back, Bao Zheng watched Song Tingkong being tortured calmly, "You are the big devil who stole official money, framed officials of the court, and murdered without batting an eyelid. You are the Guanglin Devil. How could you be human!"

"Add paper!" Bai Yutang continued to shout.

Song Tingkong struggled harder, but his hands and feet were bound, so he could only twist his body to struggle as hard as he could, but the paper on his face seemed to grow on his face, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get rid of it. , and the harder he struggled, the harder it was for him to breathe, and he was completely out of breath.Adding another piece of paper made it thicker, and suppressed his breathing even more.The whole person is on the verge of suffocating painful struggle.

Zhao Hu had already been instructed by Mr. Bao to act carefully.

"Are you going to confess or not?"

Song Tingkong still struggled and didn't answer, because he knew in his heart that with Bao Zheng's personality, it was impossible to execute him casually, he didn't have the guts, nor could he bear the responsibility.

At this time, I heard Bao Zheng greet people, call 'Eunuch Zhang', and ask what is the will of the Holy One.Song Tingkong knew that this person was the eunuch who delivered the decree to the Holy Majesty.Then he heard Eunuch Zhang say that the Holy Majesty had read the evidence and knew that Song Tingkong would refuse to confess after sitting for a long time as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, so he ordered Bao Zheng to act expediently and deal with him at will if necessary.

The fear in Song Tingkong's heart spread to the climax, but at this time Zhao Hu added another piece of paper.Song Tingkong opened his mouth, calling him to confess indistinctly.After Zhao Hu heard it, he deliberately pretended not to hear it and asked Song Tingkong, sobbing and speaking with difficulty, before he took off the paper on his face.Following that, Song Tingkong gasped heavily.

After drying his face, Song Tingkong was carried back to the court in embarrassment for trial.

"When I was passing through Deping County, I happened to see six children cracking fruit. The one who climbed the tree, the one who directed, and the one who picked up the fruit cooperated with each other tacitly and in an orderly manner. Although I knew it was such a small matter as a big fruit, the tree was more than two feet tall. The fruit was picked clean by them, and none fell to the ground in vain. Six children, so young, can cooperate with each other like this. It's really rare. That's the kind of people I want, not just one or two Smart people are people who can cooperate with each other to do smarter things.”

Song Tingkong then ordered his followers to inquire about the families the six children belonged to, and secretly investigated their situation. When he learned that the six children often went out to play together, he knew that the six of them were very familiar with each other and got along well since childhood. playmate.

After Song Tingkong returned to Beijing, after much deliberation, he ordered someone to find the boy Qian Shi, told him the situation of the six children, and taught him how to abduct the children and who to hand them to afterwards.The story of Wangyou Pavilion is a small rivers and lakes rumor that Song Tingkong heard in Yunzhou more than ten years ago. On top of this, he exaggerated a lot, added a lot of fabrications, and asked Qian Shi to spread the matter before he did it. Create a false impression that Wangyou Pavilion is terrible.

Later, the children were caught, and Qian Shi handed them over to the killers who pretended to be Wangyou Pavilion at that time, and let the 'killers' bully these children.Song Tingkong appeared at this time, rescued them, and deceived them with further lies so that they could not recognize their parents.Later, in order to maintain this lie and make it more realistic, Song Tingkong used the little second donkey, and even asked someone to pretend to go to Pang Sangong's place to sell things.

Because the rumors among scholars and sons in Tokyo came from the circle of noble sons first, and among the noble sons, Pang Yanqing was the most noble and the first. Although he was not in good health, he was very popular, and everyone Knowing that he loves to collect treasures the most, he is usually a figure that many nobles scramble to imitate.Therefore, when the things from Wangyou Pavilion came to him, it would have the effect of spreading throughout the aristocratic circle of the capital.

"The reason for using this method is to let them all have a belief and a goal. When people harbor hatred and want to take revenge, they will have greater determination and perseverance than ordinary people. I use this to train them The six became the avengers. Of course, this is also because I have won their trust and respect. As for the robbery of the official bank, the reason why it happened at the beginning was because Grand Master Pang was in charge of escorting the official bank at that time. I planned the order secretly. When people robbed the money, they thought that the Grand Master would be reprimanded and punished by the Holy Master for losing the official money, but he never expected that nothing would happen to him.

Later, I found that money is easy to do things. If I can get more, I will naturally not miss this opportunity. "

Hatred can blind a person's eyes, and can inspire a person's potential.Song Tingkong used this kind of fake hatred created by him, not only raised his own status in the hearts of the children, made them respect him, but also made the children obediently train and endure hardships for revenge, learning skills desperately.And Song Tingkong provided all the conditions that could be provided, and even spent a lot of money to hire an expert professor.In addition, Song Tingkong will also train them how to obey, how to train their subordinates, and will also give them some training about dead soldiers, such as enduring torture, maintaining loyalty, and so on.

For two whole years, under the continuous education and enlightenment, they each had their own strengths, cooperated with each other tacitly, and were all loyal to Song Tingkong.After Song Tingkong was satisfied with the test results, he rearranged their identities, made them live outside with another identity, and then continued to investigate them.While laying out the layout, he trained them to start from small things one by one, and gradually began to be competent for the tasks he assigned.

Because Grand Master Pang's position in the court cannot be easily shaken, because Bao Zheng is too upright and upright, there is no private matter for him to report.So if you want to bring down these two people, you must have a detailed plan and a careful layout.If you don't do anything, time will pass, and if you do it, you may still have a chance of success.Song Tingkong had this intention to try his best at the beginning, and made the plan step by step to the point where he is now.

After Song Tingkong signed and pledged, he was sent to prison.

Gongsun Ce twirled his beard, and Bao Zheng lamented that Song Tingkong was "clever but misunderstood by cleverness".

"It's a pity that so many lives were ruined by him." Bao Zheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Zhao Hanyan read Song Tingkong's testimony again.

"What?" Seeing her doubts, Bai Yutang came over and asked.

"Have you noticed that all the subordinates he trains are really obedient?"

"Also raised a lot of dead soldiers, all of them are well-trained and risk their lives." Bai Yutang sighed, "Song Tingkong is really good at this. He should be just like you, he can grab people's hearts."

"But the training of a dead man is not just about grabbing people's hearts. Besides, he has to be an official on weekdays and is busy with official duties. It is impossible to supervise and train those people every day."

"That means there are powerful people around him to help him." Bai Yutang reasoned.

Then combined with the confessions of shopkeeper Xue and others, Zhao Hanyan learned that three men who were said to be from the rivers and lakes once trained them.Looking back, I asked Zhan Zhao to pay attention to this point when he searched the Song Mansion, the other garden outside Beijing, and the former training place, but in the end, he did not find out the whereabouts of the three men.

Three days later, when the evidence of the case was complete and all the searches were over, Bao Zheng reported the whole process to Zhao Zhen.

After Zhao Zhen read the evidence, he denounced Song Tingkong's actions as outrageous.As an official of the imperial court and minister of the Ministry of Punishment, if he knows the law and breaks the law, the crime will be aggravated.Zhao Zhen ordered Song Tingkong to be flogged, and then beheaded for public display.The number of times he was whipped was the number of times he killed people.In the end, before the whip was finished, the person had already been beaten to the last breath.Those who are so flogged can only be beaten lightly at the end unwillingly, just to keep the person "alive" in the subsequent beheading.

Many people went to watch Song Tingkong's questioning, including the kitchen workers of Kaifeng Mansion.

Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao and others were responsible for the order of the execution ground and left early in the morning.

The kitchen was very quiet, only Zhao Hanyan was there, making noodles and preparing to make golden silk cakes.

"Ahan." Before the boy could speak, the person who came had already spoken first.

Zhao Hanyan looked at Pang Yanqing who had just arrived, washed his hands, then pulled the Linglong jade off his waist, and handed it to Pang Yanqing.

"Why is this?"

"It's better to distinguish clearly. I accepted this piece of jade because you thought you didn't know who I am. Now that you know it, you still accept it. After all, men and women are not suitable." Zhao Hanyan asked Pang Yanqing to sit down and poured him a cup of tea, " Furthermore, I heard that your mother entered the palace to ask the Queen Mother for marriage."

"I'm sorry." Pang Yanqing explained that he didn't mean it that way, and he didn't expect his mother to be kind.

"As a mother, I love you so much." Zhao Hanyan smiled, "I understand her."

"You don't blame us?"

Pang Yanqing was surprised. He came here today precisely because he heard about what his mother did, so he came here specifically to explain the situation to Zhao Hanyan, so that we can find a way to save it together.But at this moment, seeing that Zhao Hanyan was so relieved when he learned about this, his heart, which had been forcing himself to calm down these days, suddenly became turbulent again.

Is it...

The wind blows the fallen leaves, Zhao Hanyan got up and grabbed a falling leaf, golden yellow with a little green around the veins, not the most beautiful yellow leaf.

Zhao Hanyan raised the fallen leaves, blocking Pang Yanqing's left eye view.

"A blinding leaf, throw it away, and you can see how big the world is."

Zhao Hanyan put the leaf in Pang Yanqing's hand, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "I know you have only seen this leaf in the past few years, but there are so many leaves out there, there must be one that looks better than this one."

Pang Yanqing looked at Zhao Hanyan silently for a while, then smiled.

"Ah."
