Taiping Inn

Tiangang Hall is in charge of criminal law. If the Qingweizong is regarded as a small court, then Tiangang Hall represents the functions of the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and the Inspectorate. In addition to the three Dharma Divisions, it also has some Qingluanwei Governors. The function of the government is so powerful that it ranks among the three churches.

The main hall of Tiangang Hall is not located on Penglai Island, but there is also a branch hall on Penglai Island. From the outside, it is an ordinary courtyard. There is a cave under the courtyard. Twenty feet below it, there is a place A dungeon opened.

Entering the back hall of the courtyard, opening the secret door, a downward portal was cracked on the ground. First, there was a winding passage, made of bluestone, like an imperial tomb corridor, with various mechanisms and talismans everywhere to prevent anyone from digging. The method of earth or earth escape enters this place. The passage continued to tilt downward, about seven or eight hundred feet away, and it had already left the area of ​​the courtyard, and I don’t know where it leads.

After walking through three or four forks, I finally walked out of this passage. The eyes suddenly became clear. The lights were as bright as day. There were more than a dozen large and small prison cells. In the middle of the prison cells was a spacious open space, which was used as a torture room, with a row of shelves and various Torture instruments are the place where the criminals are tried.

The four stone walls on this place are covered with stone surfaces and the stone slabs on the top are paved with the same color of granite. Because the sunlight is not seen in the deep underground for many years, even in the dry northern region, it is often wet, let alone Penglai Island located on the sea. If a person is locked in it, he will not be punished. Over time, he will inevitably be weak and plagued by all kinds of diseases.

At this time, there was a Grand Master Chair in the torture room of the dungeon, and Lu Yanbing sat on it. At this time, she had taken off her outer robe, revealing her close inner robe and jade belt on her waist. The wrist guard on her sleeve was untied by her. The sleeves were rolled up, revealing two white forearms, and a black whip was also held in his hand.

Lu Yanbing, the right governor of Qingluan Guard, was not in vain. She was aware of many punishments. In a sense, she was not a good person, but she was just needed to treat traitors.

In addition to Lu Yanbing, there is another person with the appearance of a grassland man. It was Yechi who followed Li Xuandu to Qingwei Sect. Originally, according to the rules, you can't show up here if you eat an outsider, but as long as the hall master agrees, it's not considered breaking the rules.

The story starts with the last time Li Xuandu returned to Qingwei Sect. At that time, Li Xuandu had not been expelled from Qingwei Sect. Zhang Haishi wanted him to become the master of Tiangang Hall, so he went to Li Daoxu. Advice: "At the time when the old sect leader asked several junior brothers to take charge of each of them, he was the only one who could do his best to train. At that time, the third junior brother Li Yuanying successively served as the head of Tianwei Hall and the head of Tiangang Hall. Now the old sect leader has retired to Penglai Island, and the third junior brother inherited the throne of the sect leader. Even the legitimate sect leader still personally takes charge of Tiangang Hall. According to the thirty-eight sect rules that the old sect leader added when he retreated from the position of the sect leader, the sect leader should no longer hold other positions. This unwritten rule that the sect leader personally takes charge of Tiangang Hall It doesn't apply anymore." Although Li Xuan did not become the master of Tiangang Hall in the end, Li Daoxu still stopped letting him serve as the master of Tiangang Hall on the grounds that Li Yuanying had a lot of affairs and promoted Lu Yanbing to the sermon hall. host. However, Lu Yanbing is in the imperial capital most of the time, so Tiangang Hall still obeys Li Yuanying directly.

Now that Lu Yanbing has returned to the sect, no matter what, Tiangang Hall cannot violate her orders because she represents the old sect leader. That's why Li Xuan handed over the interrogation of the prisoner to Lu Yanbing's hands, and he was only here after he was a sudden man.

At this time, Li Jinfeng was tied to the punishment rack. Lu Yanbing had already used the punishment himself. He was disheveled and covered in blood. He was in a very embarrassing state and had no trace of the style of an ancestor. Lu Yanbing mastered the right measure, which made Li Jinfeng suffer a lot, but would not hurt his life.

Lu Yanbing shook the whip in his hand and said, "Li Fei Jinfeng, are you going to do it? If you don't, I will continue to be punished."

After the words came, Yechi was already interested in picking up a red-burned iron. This was not an ordinary soldering iron, but a special spiritual object. Even those with cultivation can be injured. The pain is even more intense. Yechi gently touched the soldering iron with his fingers, and immediately a "hissing" sound came. Yechi's body was of course not a problem, but it made him feel the pain like a needle prick.

Seeing Yechi's movement, Li Jinfeng trembled all over and said, "Bingyan, Bingyan, for my age, you can spare me."

Lu Yanbing shouted, "Li Fei Jinfeng, can you call Bingyan? I think you don't want to recruit you anymore, so okay, you should use torture."

After the words came, Yechi was already walking towards Li Jinfeng with a soldering iron, and then there was a "hissing" sound and Li Jinfeng's howling.

Lu Yanbing's eyes narrowed into a line. She knew very well that Li Jinfeng would never confess, because it was a serious crime to communicate with foreign enemies, which was equivalent to the rebellious sect, and he would almost die. If he did, he would just die more decently. But if he bite to death and refused to fight, he might be able to survive. After all, Li Yuanying is still outside, Gu Yusheng is still outside, and Li Ruxian and others are all Li Yuanying's people.

Nowadays, it’s like both sides playing horse hang tags, and they’re already making each other’s cards openly. No one is hiding in the dark, they’re all in the light.

Since Lu Yanbing chose to stand on Li Xuandu's side, she had to consider the issue from Li Xuandu's side. She pondered for a moment and ordered, "Invite those hall masters."

A disciple of Tiangang Hall responded. Not long after, the three hall masters were invited out of the cell. They did not bring torture instruments on their bodies and did not act as punishment. After seeing Li Jinfeng who was being tortured, they all looked up. Change.

Lu Yanbing threw the whip to the disciple of Tiangang Hall standing beside him, got up from the chair, put down his rolled-up sleeves, and tidied his clothes, with a little more kindness on his face, "These are all hall masters and deputy hall masters, so it's also considered It is really regrettable that you have committed such a crime with a high position and a powerful position, but you are just accomplices, not the mastermind, so you can make up for your merits."

When the four of them heard Lu Yanbing's words, they were all expressionless and unmoved.

Seeing this, Lu Yanbing nodded and said, "I know you are all people with cultivation, and may not even be weaker than me, and they are even more determined people. For you, the punishment is not painful or itchy. Great use. I also know what you are thinking, it is nothing more than the word "backer". I look at someone who can save you. Now I suffer a little. As long as I survive this level, you will still be the master and the deputy master. Maybe we can use this matter to make friends with some big names and go further. Qingwei Sect will still be your world."

Speaking of this, Lu Yanbing suddenly raised his voice and exploded like thunder, "But I tell you, the biggest backer in Qingwei Sect is the old sect leader. The old sect leader has ordered a thorough investigation of this matter and must give Mr. Qingping an explanation. , not only you, but also the traitors in the three halls, no one can escape, so no one can help you, let alone save you! ”

Hearing this, the four people finally changed their faces, but no one spoke.

Lu Yanbing continued, "Back to the mountain, back to the mountain, you can be used as a support in normal times. If the back to the mountain falls, you will be the first to kill you. What are you still relying on for back to the mountain now? It's ridiculous. You use yours. Think about it, this matter has been banned by the old sect leader. Can your backer save you? If not, what will they do? The best way is to use you as a scapegoat, and the matter will be stopped by you. , he can't stand up and take the blame for you, right? But you are still here keeping your mouth shut. Who do you keep your guard for? If you die, everything will be empty. If you become a scapegoat, you will never escape death. After death, your beautiful wife and family will be beautiful. , the family business and children that have been saved over the years have become the treasures of others. Others sleep with your wives, spend your money, and beat your son and daughter. Will you lose money? If you are just accomplices, The master and deputy hall master cannot do it, but his life is saved. He will keep the green mountains without worrying about burning firewood. Look at Mr. Qingping today, and he will not be afraid of the day when he will make a comeback."

After saying that, Lu Yanbing slowly sat back on the Grand Master's chair and gently stroked his hair on his temples, "I'll give you a stick of incense to consider. After one stick of incense, I'll ask you again, I hope you will reply truthfully."

The four people looked different on their faces, either hesitating or hesitating, and the heavens and man fought.

When Lu Yanbing finished speaking, a disciple from Tiangang Hall brought a small case and placed it in front of Lu Yanbing, with an incense burner above, igniting a stick of incense.

The dungeon was quiet, only Li Jinfeng's screams were heard.

A stick of incense passed quickly, and Lu Yanbing looked at the four hall masters and said, "I'll ask you something, and you can answer truthfully."

All four of them looked at Lu Yanbing.

Lu Yanbing asked, "I don't ask how Li Rufeng died, nor do I ask who tampered with his body. I just ask you who asked you to participate in this matter. Of course you can answer. Yu Yiqin came to preside over justice for the woman named Wen, and I will report to the old sect leader truthfully."

The four of them all looked shaking. They were also considered old people from Qingwei Sect. Of course, they knew how deep the old sect leader was. If he wanted to use such a statement to excuse himself, he would undoubtedly slap the ancestor in the face and treat his ancestor as a fool. , I'm afraid I'll be more guilty.

Lu Yanbing knew that the temperature was almost the same, so he raised his voice and said, "Is it your own thing to do today, or is it colluding with outsiders? Or is it on order? If you act on order, the sect rules contain clear words and those who act on order are guilty of being the public. , public crimes shall not be investigated or reduced to the first level."

One of the hall masters lowered his head, "I am doing my order."

With the leader, the other three hall masters also lowered their heads, "We are also on orders."

Lu Yanbing asked, "Whose order has he been taken? What is he doing? What is the reason?"

The church master who spoke first replied: "After the order of the third wife, we must cooperate with Li Jinfeng to help Mrs. Wen to seek justice, in order to deal with Mr. Qingping, it is best to ruin his reputation, or It is to create a gap between Miss Qin and Mr. Qingping."

Lu Yanbing started his move and said to a disciple of Tiangang Hall who was specifically responsible for recording in the corner: "Record it on the record, and then let them write it."
