Chapter 335

……

"Snapped!"

"Ah~"

"Snapped!"

"Ah~"

"Snapped!"

"what……"

For three days, for three full days, the sound of the whip whipping on the flesh kept echoing in the dark and silent Tingwei prison. Just listening to the horrific screams made one's hair stand on end and his scalp tingled.

No one cares why the brutal jailer whipped a 36-year-old learned man, and no one tortured the learned man.

For the prison guards who have barely read the book, the words of their superiors are right, and the orders of General Ma Di are right.Without the great general, where would Ji Han's happy days come from?

Therefore, even though the man tied to the rack in front of him was dignified and had a dusty temperament, and he didn't look like a bad guy, they were still as vicious as ever.

As far as Qiao Zhou was being whipped, it was a bit arrogant and unreasonable for the jailers to do so, and it was too insulting to scholars.

But no matter how he questioned and argued, what greeted him was a whip that hit his head and face.

Qiao Zhou's whole body was numb. He felt that he didn't have a single inch of intact skin on his body. The pain from all over his body was like ten thousand ants eating his heart, stimulating his fragile nerves all the time, but those jailers completely There was no intention of stopping and resting.

Moreover, it is outrageous for the guards to change shifts and continue beating when they are tired.

But this kind of skin trauma can't kill people in a short time.

Qiao Zhou passed out from the pain, was beaten to wake up again, passed out again, was beaten to wake up again.

Even the jailer stuck a biting stick in his mouth, which made it impossible for him to commit suicide by biting his tongue.

"Don't fight, don't fight, I'll recruit...I'll recruit..."

When another prison guard was tired from beating and was about to change shifts, Qiao Zhou finally broke down. He said tearfully, "What do you want to ask? I'll say it, I'll say it..."

Hearing this, the two jailers looked at him inexplicably, confused.

Among them, the older jailer was kind-hearted after all. He took the whip from the younger jailer, soaked it in the bucket, shook his head and said, "Lord Qiao, don't waste your time, we don't want to ask anything, and we don't want to ask you anything." I know. The order we received is to whip you, and you will be whipped if you don’t ask anything.”

Qiao Zhou hung all his body weight on the torture frame, and said dying: "I am an official of the imperial court, a close minister of your Majesty, you have no right to arrest me, you have no right to beat me... Is there any reason for you to do this? Is there any law for the king?" ?”

As soon as the words fell, a firm voice came from the gate of the prison, "They have no right to arrest you, so what about me?"

Ma Di took square steps, Shi Shiran walked up to Qiao Zhou, waved his hand to order the jailer to remove the biting stick from Qiao Zhou's mouth, looked at this big man who claimed to be the leader of scholars in the world with his hands behind his back, and said with a slight smile: "Lord Qiao Zhou , how are you doing these days?"

well?

I am safe NM!

Qiao Zhou stared at Ma Di with inexplicable grief and indignation, and asked in tears: "Ma Di! You ordered someone to arrest me? You, you, you have no law in the country, and you reject dissidents; you monopolize the power, and you plot evil!"

"So what? What can you do to me?"

Seeing that Qiao Zhou still had the strength to fight, Ma Di shook his head, turned around and walked out, shouting as he walked, "Come on, keep fighting."

Hearing this, Qiao Zhou panicked completely, "Slow down, slow down, I shouldn't have bumped into the general, I deserve death. The general should give me a good time."

"You want to have fun?" Ma Di turned around and came back, looking down at Qiao Zhou.

Qiao Zhou nodded hastily. He couldn't bear the feeling that life would be worse than death any longer. He said in a murmur, "Yes, yes... I beg the general to give you a good time."

However, Ma Su let out a cold snort from his nose: "Qiao Zhou, why did I arrest you? Don't you know? Don't waste your time and mine. I will only give you one chance. If you don't tell me, just bring it to me." Go to hell."

"Come here! Prepare to continue the torture!"

Qiao Zhou was terrified at first, but he shivered immediately when he heard this, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

He is a highly educated person with a very flexible mind. From the moment the jailer started whipping him, he was sure that the people behind the scenes wanted to ask something from him.Therefore, the first time he saw Ma Di, he was thinking about where to speak, what could be said and what could not be said.

"General, I'm guilty of a crime. I shouldn't have poisoned Fei Yi's family to vent my personal anger."

After thinking about it for a long time, Qiao Zhou thought that it must have been discovered that he poisoned Fei Yi's youngest son, so he chose to start from here.

"No more?" Ma Di was surprised.

"It's gone." Qiao Zhou said frankly.For minor crimes, he admitted that he had committed them, but for major crimes, he never committed them.

Ma Di shook his head and laughed, "Qiao Zhou, I think you should tell me how you ordered Fei Yi to murder me. If so, I might give you a good time."

"I am wronged, the general is clearly aware." Qiao Zhou shook his head like a rattle, "I have no grievances or enmity with the general, how could I do such a rebellious thing."

"Oh, really? Then you said that you and Fei Yi had a personal grudge, why did you help Fei Yi settle down in his family after he was exiled? Isn't that unreasonable?"

"This, this..."

The lie was exposed by Ma Su all of a sudden, and Qiao Zhou panicked.The latter's eyes, honed from the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, were as sharp as knives, making it impossible for him to look directly at them.And the secret of setting up Fei Yi's family as a small child was suddenly exposed, which completely overturned his previous statement, which made him a little caught off guard.

"Tell me, who is the person behind your scenes?" Ma Su asked aggressively.

"...Yes, it's Xiahouba..."

Hearing this name, Ma Su sneered and shook his head, "It's all over, and you still haven't said a word of truth. It seems that I shouldn't come today, left and right, continue to beat until I die."

After saying this, Ma Di walked out of the cell.

This time Qiao Zhou has gone crazy, and started catching and biting whomever.

Xia Houba?How could it be the mastermind behind the scenes?
Xiahouba is a reckless man.

Can a reckless man come up with such a watertight assassination plan?

In fact, ever since the assassination occurred, Ma Di had doubts: there are only a few people who can accomplish such a major event, and there must be no Xiahouba among these few people.

If we really do a thorough investigation, it is impossible not to find out the truth.It is not too difficult to pry the truth out of Qiao Zhou's mouth.

But Ma Di no longer wants to know the truth from Qiao Zhou.Compared with knowing the answer from Qiao Zhou's mouth, letting him die in despair is more important.

The opportunity has already been given.If you can't grasp it yourself, don't blame the world for being cruel.

"If it's not Sima Shi or Sima Yi, then who is the mastermind behind the scenes..." Ma Di closed his eyes, tried to calm his mind, and checked the suspects one by one.

Originally, he thought that the person behind the scenes would be Master Sima, but after discovering Qiao Zhou, he overturned this guess.

Surrenderers like Qiao Zhou will only curry favor with the strong and despise the weak.In the original time and space, when Wei was strong and Shu was weak, Qiao Zhou would definitely lick Sima's family fiercely, but in this time and space, the members of Sima Yi's family are all descendants, so it is impossible to fall into Qiao Zhou's eyes.

Ma Di pulled his hair a little frantically.

This feeling of being hidden in the dark is too uncomfortable.

"General, why don't you listen to what Qiao Zhou has to say?" Qu Shang, who had been following behind, asked in bewilderment.

"No, he won't say it."

Ma Di shook his head: "Even if he can say it, I don't want to listen."

"I want him to die!"
