Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 42 Chen Yunfu's Suggestions
After Chen Yunfu figured out the identity of Master Hu, he understood why everyone was so frightened, not to mention them, even Chen Yunfu himself trembled when he figured it out.

No one knows what Master Hu's real name is, but he joined the Ministry of Punishment when he was very young.

And his major is absolutely creepy.

Ling late!

That's right, Master Hu is the chief execution officer of the Ming Dynasty.

Represents the ceiling of the penal domain of the Ming Dynasty, similar to senior technical personnel.

Ling Chi's difficult punishment is not something that ordinary people can learn if they want to. According to the Jianghu martial arts novels, this craft is passed on from male to female, from internal to external.

This skill is not easy to learn, and it is not easy for him to do this job.

What kind of person would be determined to be Lingchi by the emperor?

Conspiracy, heinous crime?
No matter what crime he committed, one thing is inevitable, the person who was Ling Chi must be a bastard who can make the emperor so angry that he can hang his back.

The emperor had to hate the prisoner so much that he would order Ling Chi.

In this way, the position of execution officer is not easy to do.

The emperor ordered [-] knives, and if the executioner killed the prisoner with [-] knives, the executioner would be beheaded by the emperor's anger.

Therefore, don't look at the chief criminal officer of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs who has nothing to do every day, does not have to work, and receives a monthly salary from the court (equivalent to a special national allowance), but when he really comes to work, it is easy to lose his life if he is not careful.

Of course, this master Hu is not idle all year round. Occasionally, he will teach some punishment methods in the Ministry of punishment, and he will also delve into other simple punishments himself.

Such as chopping, skinning, cramps and so on.

As for gouging out eyes, pulling out tongues, disembowelling and so on, it is even easier to do.

It is no exaggeration to say that Master Hu is a mobile encyclopedia as long as the punishment is related to tossing the human body.

Now Weng Junbo's refusal to cooperate has pushed Shao Zhi to the edge of a cliff, and he has no choice.

Since torture is useless, let Weng Junbo experience the unbearable pain of life!

The reason why Ru Taisu and Yu Wenxin disagreed was because it was easy to torture Weng Junbo to death, and once Weng Junbo died, the case would become an unsolved case. In Zhu Yuanzhang's anger, the three of them The same is a dead end.

"To advance is to die, to retreat is to die, there is no choice!"

Shao Zhi red eyes, fixedly staring at Weng Junbo's eyes, gnashing his teeth word by word, said: "I will give you one more chance at last, recruit or not, if you don't, I will make your life worse than death."

Weng Junbo's lips began to tremble crazily, and then became hysterical: "I'm dead, you all have to die, you must be buried with me, hahahaha, come on! Come on!"

All crazy.

Shao Zhihong was about to give an order, but Chen Yunfu quickly pulled Shao Zhi out of the cell, persuading him, "Uncle, you can do anything, you can do anything."

How can we let Shao Zhi's temperament play like this, really played Weng Junbo to death, Chen Yunfu was afraid that he would also be implicated, so he tried hard to persuade him.

"The reason why Weng Junbo didn't recruit was obviously because of his family's concerns. As long as we can find his family, are we afraid that Weng Junbo won't recruit?"

Find Weng Junbo's family?

Shao Zhi immediately sneered: "If I could find it, I would have found it long ago."

"We can do this." Chen Yunfu leaned into Shao Zhi's ear and whispered for a while, until Shao Zhi was stunned.

"feasible?"

"Oh, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor now. If we can't find this, then let's tell Weng Junbo that his family has been assassinated long ago."

Shao Zhi thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and said, "Fine, just do as you said, I will go to the palace to face the saint and report this matter."

Chen Yunfu made a bow: "Uncle, let's go."

"If this matter is done properly, nephew, you will be the great benefactor of this old man's family."

Chen Yunfu slandered what he said.

Chong your daughter, we are also a family.

How about going to see Shao Ning again?

Just as he was thinking about it, Ru Taisu and Yu Wenxin came out from behind, Chen Yunfu cupped his hands at Ru Taisu and said, "Ru Yushi, if there is nothing wrong, I will resign first?"

"Go."

Ru Taisu was busy communicating with Yu Wenxin, so she naturally ignored Chen Yunfu and waved.

After Chen Yunfu left, Yu Wenxin sighed and said to Ru Taisu: "This time such a big incident happened in Zhejiang, the lower officials are worried, even if the case is solved, the two of us will have to suffer."

The two of them, one is the supervisory censor of Zhejiang Province, and the other is the former Zhejiang Zuo political party, but they both work in Zhejiang.

And they all know this Weng Junbo.

"The old man is not afraid of whether he eats or not." Ru Taisu shook his head: "I can see the ups and downs of my life, the worst thing is that I don't want to be an official.

It's just that the old man is worried that this case will affect Zhongliang.

If someone from the Ministry of Households really colluded with the local people in Zhejiang to embezzle the national treasury, then I am afraid that the person in the Ministry of Households is not only involved in the same province as Zhejiang, but what about Fujian, Sichuan, Huguang, and Jiangxi?

If the corruption of the central government brings the local government together, there must be a bigger black hand behind the Ministry of household affairs, and the case will be even bigger and more terrifying. "

Yu Wenxin took a deep breath, looked around and whispered, "You mean, this case may become the second Huaixi case?"

"Over ten thousand people have been implicated in the case of Hu Ni, and a group of founding fathers in Huaixi have almost died. This case of Weng Junbo seems to be a small case alone, but after digging deeper, who knows what will happen? It’s still accurate.”

Ru Taisu sighed quietly, full of melancholy: "The country has no good talents, and the imperial examination has not yet been reopened. The people hope to rule the world, and the country hopes to be virtuous, so we can no longer kill in vain."

Both of them felt very heavy, and they didn't say much when they left together.

On the other side, Shao Zhi has arrived at the palace at this moment, and saw Zhu Yuanzhang after a long wait.

The latter knew that Shao Zhi was going to interrogate Weng Junbo today, so he cut to the chase and said, "How is the interrogation going?"

How dare Shao Zhi hide it, and told the truth: "I am incompetent, and I still haven't been able to pry Weng Junbo's mouth open."

After finishing speaking, he put his head on the ground and waited for Zhu Yuanzhang to get angry.

The clinker Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have known it for a long time, and there was no trace of anger in his tone.

"Since it's not done well, then do what you should do."

Shao Zhi's forehead was immediately soaked with sweat.

What are the things to do?

Suicide!

Shao Zhi gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Although I failed to pry Weng Junbo's mouth open, Chen Yunfu came up with an idea, maybe you can try it."

At this moment, Shao Zhi didn't care about any courtesies before the imperial court, so he uttered Chen Yunfu's thoughts loudly.

"Chen Yunfu proposed that His Majesty would issue an imperial decree to go to Zhejiang, saying that Weng Junbo's embezzlement of food and taxes is a heinous crime, and he has already punished the three clans. Anyone who dares to shelter his family members will be punished by the barbarians!"

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and spoke after a long time.

"Smart is smart, huh."

After the sound fell, Zhu Yuanzhang got up and left, leaving only one sentence.

"Let Song Na draw up an order."

Behind him, Shao Zhi shouted.

"Sir, thank you!"
