Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 11 Intimidation!

Zhang Jingxiu's body was just thrown in the corner, with Zhang Yunxiu sitting next to him with a dull look on his face.

Zhang Sixiu and Zhang Maoxiu were both in a comatose state. It was not known whether they were unconscious from pain, asleep from sleepiness, or dead.

The light in the room was dim, but the picture in front of him was so clear to Zhang Chonghui. He just watched it all quietly.

"Have you seen your second uncle's toes?" Luo Sigong pointed to the bloody soles of Zhang Chonghui's second uncle, Zhang Sixiu, and introduced in a low voice for no reason:
  "His two thumbs are gone. Do you know why? Let me tell you, they were broken bit by bit with thin iron wire. Every time the iron wire got entangled in the flesh, it had to be taken out and roasted on the fire. , take advantage of the heat and wrap it around again, the sound is sizzling, so nice."

After introducing Zhang Sixiu, Luo Sigong pointed to Zhang Maoxiu's right hand that seemed to be broken:

"There is also Third Uncle You. His right hand tendon was severed by one of the tendons. It's a pity that your sage-appointed number one scholar will never be able to hold a pen with his hand from now on."

Luo Sigong spoke very intoxicatingly. If you didn't listen to the content of his words, people who didn't know would probably think that he was displaying some exquisite work of art.

Zhang Chonghui knew that Luo Sigong wanted to use this to break down his psychological defense.

Luo Sigong is a real cruel official. The psychology of this kind of cruel official is extremely abnormal. He doesn't just want to see the prisoner collapse due to physical torture. What he really wants to see is that the prisoner is completely destroyed psychologically and spiritually. The ultimate defeat!

In other words, Luo Sigong is a madman!
  "And your fifth uncle, oh, you don't know yet, right?" Luo Sigong was still talking: "He is already crazy. It's a pity that he is only sixteen or seventeen years old and he has not even played with a woman before he went crazy. "

When talking about Zhang Yunxiu, Luo Sigong returned his gaze to Zhang Chonghui's face.

It was getting dark, and the light in the torture chamber was getting dimmer.

Luo Sigong couldn't see clearly the expression on Zhang Chonghui's face. According to his past experience, a normal child would have been frightened to the point of kneeling down and crying bitterly, and would have had a nervous breakdown when seeing a loved one suffer like this.

However, Zhang Chonghui's reaction was beyond Luo Sigong's expectations. Not only did he not break down and cry, he even remained calm without saying a word, as if everything in front of him was just a phantom in the air.

Is this really just a child under six years old?
  Or are you scared to death?

"Little brother, those lies you told earlier are full of loopholes." Luo Sigong tentatively said: "If you want to suffer less, be good and tell the truth earlier."

"Okay, I'll do it." Zhang Chonghui didn't hesitate at all.

"Huh?" Luo Sigong didn't react for a moment, "What did you say?"

"I said, I'll do it." Zhang Chongguang looked at Luo Sigong, his face full of seriousness: "I'm afraid of pain, so I'll do it all."

……

"What? Did that kid do it so quickly?"

Zhang Cheng was still in the backyard having a passionate farewell with Yu Shenxing and others. Unexpectedly, Luo Sigong sent his Qianhu Chen Yin to report the matter not long after.

"Lord Luo said that I hope you and Mr. Qiu can be present for this trial," Chen Yin said.

Qiu Li was standing next to Zhang Cheng. Hearing this, he was surprised and said: "So, the trial hasn't even started yet?"

Chen Yin still replied: "Master Luo said, I hope you two can be here to hear the trial together."

This time, everyone understood.

Luo Sigong was afraid that something would go wrong again, and he was also afraid of taking on unnecessary responsibilities, so he simply pulled everyone together.

The reason why I say "everyone" is involved is because once Qiu Li and Zhang Cheng go to the hearing, Ren Yangxin and other Ming officials will go together.

Not to mention Yu Shenxing, even if no one wanted to see him, he would still squeeze in to join in the fun.

……

Middle courtyard, lobby.

It was getting dark, but the rain was still falling.

"It's really troublesome. Do you need so many of us to interrogate a little kid? It's almost as grand as the trial of the three judicial divisions. It's really overkill and overkill!"

Ren Yangxin kept complaining, but he had already sat on one of the few chairs in the center of the lobby. There were only three Taishi chairs, so Ren Yangxin was the first to occupy one. Naturally, Qiu Li and Zhang Cheng could only sit on the other two.

The others basically came to join in the fun, and it didn't matter if they stood, but Yu Shenxing was the one holding the emperor's warrant.

Logically speaking, Ren Yangxin's seat should belong to Yu Shenxing, but now that Ren Yangxin's seat was deliberately occupied, everyone was waiting to see Yu Shenxing's joke.

Just when everyone thought that Yu Shenxing would argue with Ren Yangxin over this matter, Yu Shenxing twisted his body and walked straight to the Ministry of Punishment official who was sitting in the corner and was responsible for recording the interrogation content.

"I'll record it." Yu Shenxing's tone was unquestionable.

The official from the Ministry of Justice in charge of recording hesitated to speak and quickly looked at his boss Qiu Li.

Qiu Li glanced at Yu Shenxing first. Seeing that the other party's eyes were not on him, he had no choice but to sigh softly and nodded lightly to the official from the Ministry of Justice.

Seeing this, the official from the Ministry of Justice had to stand up and give up his seat.

Yu Shenxing ignored the strange looks from the people around him. After Damajintao sat down, he polished the ink sticks on his own to prepare for the next record.

Seeing that he failed to humiliate Cheng Yu Shenxing, Ren Yangxin could only taunt him in a low voice: "Why are you pretending to be noble?"

Qiu Li, who was sitting next to Ren Yangxin, frowned when he heard this. He pulled his chair further away in disgust, and then he solemnly said to everyone: "It's time to start."

Not long after, Zhang Chonghui was brought out from the back hall by several Jinyi guards.

Yu Shenxing put down the ink stick, picked up the langhao pen and dipped it back and forth on the inkstone to dip in ink, waiting to write.

The person in charge of the interrogation was Luo Sigong. He put his hands behind his back and asked Zhang Chonghui the first question: "Who locked the door?"

"I locked it." Zhang Chonghui answered quickly.

Luo Sigong: "Who asked you to lock it?"

Zhang Chonghui: "I wanted to lock it myself."

Luo Sigong: "What happens after the lock is completed?"

Zhang Chonghui: "After locking the door, I threw the key out of the window."

Luo Sigong: "Who told you to throw it away?"

Zhang Chonghui: "I wanted to throw it away myself."

Luo Sigong: "Who set the fire?"

Zhang Chonghui: "I let it go."

Luo Sigong: "Who asked you to let it go?"

Zhang Chonghui: "I wanted to let it go."

Luo Sigong: "Okay, now you tell us what happened in the ancestral hall, starting from the beginning."

Next, Zhang Chonghui began to 'confess' without any emotion as if he was an endorsement:

"I first set fire to the rag curtain behind the ancestral hall. Before anyone noticed, I made the fire bigger. When the fire was almost gone, I called everyone to put out the fire.

While they were putting out the fire, I secretly took the key to the ancestral hall door. After locking the door, I threw the key out of the window.

Later, the fire got bigger and bigger, and I found that Xiaocui was breathing her last breath, so I found a piece of wood chips and cut her veins with a sharp edge. "

At this point in the interrogation, the expressions on the faces of everyone present could be described as indescribable.

What kind of interrogation is this? It’s obvious that the confessions were prepared in advance!
  After all, how could a six-year-old kid lock the door, set fire to it, and kill someone!
  　The young author begs for all support and reading!
