"My dear concubine...you're okay..."

In Chengchun Palace, Li Shimin whispered a beloved concubine... In an instant, Wei Gui's tears fell, and Wei Gui knelt in front of Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty... I'm wrong..."

"Are you wrong?" Li Shimin was stunned.

Then Wei Gui cried and said, "It's all because of my favor and being arrogant. I thought Your Majesty favored me, so I made some hostile expressions towards the Empress, and I was framed.

Everything is my fault, I ask you to surrender.”

Oh... I was crying heart-wrenchingly. To be honest, this was sincere repentance, so Li Shimin smiled slightly. Finally, Li Shimin gently helped Wei Gui up and comforted him: "Okay, okay, just know you were wrong. Now it's okay, but you're just acting. Don't worry, it'll pass soon. By that time, I'm proving it for you, okay...!"

After saying that, Li Shimin hugged Wei Gui... and Wei Gui, who was hugged, cried even more fiercely.

But at this time, Li Shimin didn't know that in a corner of the Tai Chi Palace, a palace maid named Xiaoyan was being pushed into the well... Lotus Society is a very strange organization. Its slogan was not widely popular among the people of the Tang Dynasty. However, after entering the palace, it became the spiritual home of palace maids and eunuchs.

Why...many people must ask.

Nothing else... Because this group of people in the palace is the most pitiful, a group of homeless people have come up with a home, but a pity that this home I come up with is just a shameless person who wants to use their slogans.

"Why... Why... Xiaoyan... You clearly said that you would give us a home, but you clearly said that now you want to kill us. I killed you, Xiaoyan, Brother Qin killed you.

Brother Qin doesn’t know that these people are just a group of liars. Okay, Brother Qin will come to accompany you now, and now you will come to accompany you."

As soon as the little eunuch finished speaking, he jumped out of the well... At this time, a strong eunuch appeared beside the well, with a faint smile on his lips and said, "You can go to the vacuum hometown. What I did right, I can get the qualification to be reborn..."

"Young Master...! Yu Bao's daughter has been found...!"

It was 18 o'clock in the evening, and Li Zhan heard a news in his mansion that he could finally be happy, and the person who reported the news of Li Zhan was Wei Chang.

"Good job... Wei Chang... Where did you find Yu Bao's daughter?" Li Zhan laughed.

But what Li Zhan didn't expect was that what Yu Bao said about this made Li Zhan's original laughter come to an abrupt end.

"Go back to the young master... Yu Bao's daughter was found in a group of Lotus Society."

As soon as he said this, Li Zhan frowned: "How do you know that the other party is a member of the Lotus Society?"

"There is a secret room at home, and the statue of the Lotus Club is enshrined in the secret room...!"

When Wei Chang said this, Li Zhan had already shown bad eyes. Li Zhan stood up from the chair and said, "Why is there a shadow of the Lotus Society... Is all this related to the Lotus Society?"

"It's hard to judge this subordinate. According to the Lotus Society community, they stole this child. Because the couple had no children, they casually kidnapped a child on the street and came back to raise him.

The minister also went to ask the neighbors of the couple around him and got the same explanation as they explained.

The young couple has been married for three years and still has no children. They are eager for children. They join the Lotus Club and hope to have a child.”

"I don't believe it, everything is so coincidental..." Li Zhan turned around and looked at Wei Chang and asked, "Have you caught it?"

"Catch it back..."

"Then use torture... let them tell the truth!" Li Zhan said very resolutely at this time. You should know that Li Zhan is not like this in general. Li Zhan always said that he should love the people as his son and would not let anyone use torture against the people of the Tang Dynasty.

But today when talking about the Lotus Club, Li Zhan finally turned out to be normal, and there was nothing else, because only Li Zhan knew the terribleness of the Lotus Club. Last time, he seemed to have defeated the Lotus Club, but in fact, he did not get rid of the roots. It has always been a grudge in Li Zhan's heart.

This incident actually had the shadow of the Lotus Club, so Li Zhan had to give up his kindness.

According to records... From the Han Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, officials used torture and torture and confessions when they tried cases. In ancient times, they were called "todonation"; the name of the Qing Dynasty was more vivid, called "Ao Shen".

From ancient times to the present, there have been more than tens of millions of torture.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a saying that "take the five poisons" was used to "catch the head of mud ears", "beat the nose and claws", "hang hair and fumigate eyes" and other tortures.

There is a more cruel "sandalwood punishment" in Lijing Gate that is more cruel than Lingchi: a piece of polished sandalwood passes through the prisoner's bottom, passes through the internal organs, and then comes out from the upper and back necks, with almost no wounds, which is intended to make people live in pain.

The ancients lagged behind in everything, but punishment was the most advanced.

Because the ancients had special geniuses in this regard, people died after enduring the greatest pain.

In ancient history, torture and cruel officials are inseparable.

During the reign of Wu Zetian, minister Di Renjie was falsely accused of rebellion, and the cruel official Lai Junchen was in charge of trial. Di Renjie was forced to plead guilty on the surface and secretly wrote a bloody complaint, and his son appealed to the court.

After seeing the confession, Wu Zetian questioned: Since you are not guilty, is it that the concealment on the crime false?

Di Renjie replied sadly and angrily: If I don’t confess, how can I survive until now?

During the period of imperial autocracy, cruel officials held the power of life and death, and the victims had no right to "keep silent" at all; refusing to plead guilty will inevitably lead to torture, or even death due to unlawful death. It is better to accuse yourself of others, avoid the disaster in front of you, and seek opportunities to reconcile confessions and argue with grievances.

But in fact, once you confess your guilt and want to escape from the cruel officials, it will be difficult to reach the sky, and you can only rely on your hopes to go beyond your reach.

"Ah...ah...!" There were screams in a room. Li Zhan was still human. He did not use the cruel "sandalwood punishment", but asked Wei Chang to punish the young couple first.

The so-called punishment of standing in a cage was a commonly used torture instrument in the Ming and Qing dynasties... The prisoner was shackled on his neck, and his body could only stand there to support him, and it was impossible to kneel down.

Once a person enters the stand cage, he will die within a day or two.

If the shackle is raised or lowered by several inches, the prisoner will either suffocate and die quickly, or bend his legs to support his body, and die from exhaustion in a short time; therefore, in the cage, he usually puts bricks under the feet of the prisoner, and uses the height of the brick to control the death time of the prisoner.

"Tell me your true identities... Otherwise you will die..." This was Wei Chang's voice.

Soon afterwards, a young voice trembled and defended: "We have told the truth. We are really ordinary people in Chang'an, without hiding it at all... Please believe us. Everything we say is true, everything is true...!"

After saying that, because of the pain, the young voice screamed again and fainted.

At this moment, Li Zhan walked into the house. Seeing Li Zhan coming in, Wei Chang immediately bowed to Li Zhan and said, "Young Master, this is dirty, and the young master's body should not come here."

Li Zhan nodded and said, "I know, but I have to come. This time the matter is too big. Now it involves the Lotus Club again. Wei Chang poured water to wake them up. I want to say a few words to them."

"Just obey the orders of the young master..." Wei Chang nodded and shouted, "Get water and pour these two people awaken me..."

"Wow..." I felt a basin of cold water in my head, and two people who were already unconscious woke up again. At this time, Li Zhan stood in front of them and said, "Hello... My name is Li Zhan, these brigade generals who caught you back.

Now I will make clear what you said. First of all, it is impossible for you to escape with a stubborn voice.

Because today's incident is too big, we must know who asked you to abduct Yu Bao's daughter. This matter is related to the safety of the Tang Dynasty.

So if you think that as long as you keep being stubborn, we will have no choice but to let you go, I can tell you that this is impossible. Even if you punish you until you die, we must get the answer.

So I hope you know that you don’t have any luck.

What you have to do now is to tell the truth. If you don’t tell the truth, then you will be tortured to death by us. Now this station cage is the most basic. Since you are stubborn, then we will come to Lingchi next.

Scrape off the flesh on your body with one knife, letting you bear the pain and not letting you die. What you want is to make your life worse than death.

But... as long as you tell me everything you know, is it the order given to you by the Lotus Society to abduct Yu Bao's daughter, just provide it to us... In that way, I, Li Zhan, promise you that you will leave here safely.

If you are worried about being chased, I can let you live in Dunhuafang, where no one will chase you."

Speaking of this, Li Zhan stopped his voice and looked at the young couple opposite him. At this time, the young couple was actually thinking wildly, and they were also measuring whether what Li Zhan said was true or false.

But this young couple always wanted to see fake appearances in Li Zhan's eyes, but unfortunately, Li Zhan's eyes were filled with incomparable firmness.

After about a stick of incense, Li Zhan looked at the other party and said nothing. Li Zhan sighed and said, "Okay... I have enough time to consider you. Please use torture... Lingchi, prepare the doctor, you must not let them die!"

"As for the order..." Wei Chang bowed, then looked at Li Zhan and said, "Young Master, you'd better not stay here, it's too bloody..."

"Okay...I know, then I'll go out now, Wei Chang, this time the matter is too big, I will definitely help me with it. They will definitely not die before asking what the young master wants."

To be honest, Wei Chang said this very surely, and the young couple on the side were chilling.

Li Zhan nodded slightly and said, "It's good... Let's start..."

After saying that, Li Zhantou left without even being able to do so. Then he saw Wei Chang wavering, and a man walked out of the Qingyiwei...!
