Chapter 3 Ye Xuan's interrogation method

Chapter 3 Ye Xuan's interrogation method
Ye Xuan ignored Cheng Gong's curses and walked up to him.

Then, using the faint light coming in from the small window, he looked at the man in front of him.

Cheng Gong was not too old, probably in his thirties, with a mustache on his upper lip and a slim figure.

But at this moment, Cheng Gong obviously no longer has the glory of the past.

Not only was he wearing a white prison uniform, but his hair was greasy, the sides of his face were dirty and black, there was hay in the ends of his hair, and he constantly emanated a foul odor.

If Song Zhenshan had not told him that this man used to be a county magistrate, Ye Xuan would probably have thought that the Jinyiwei had arrested the wrong person and brought a beggar.

"Who are you?" Cheng Gong was not polite when he saw Ye Xuan and started cursing directly.

bass! ! !
Hearing this, Song Zhenshan, who was standing nearby, stepped forward, drew out the scimitar in his hand and put it on Cheng Gong's neck.

He was furious: "Cheng Gong, you are so bold! You met my master and didn't even know how to greet him?!"

The scimitar gleamed coldly under the light, giving people a strong sense of murderous intent.
"Don't try to scare me!" Cheng Gong didn't buy it at all. He pushed the scimitar away and pointed at Song Zhenshan's nose and said, "If you don't chop me, you'll be my grandson!"

"you!!!"

It seemed that Song Zhenshan was about to raise the knife and put it on Cheng Gong's neck.

Ye Xuan on the side stopped him in time.

He straightened his face and ordered majestically: "Alright! Back off."

After receiving Ye Xuan's order, Song Zhenshan didn't dare to say anything else. He could only silently retract the knife and step aside.

All of a sudden, the entire cell became much quieter.

"Did you use torture?" Ye Xuan thought for a moment and asked Song Zhenshan.

Song Zhenshan nodded, and then explained:
"We have used almost every kind of torture device, but this guy is very stubborn and refuses to say anything."

Hearing this, Ye Xuan felt surprised.

You should know that the Zhenfu Division has quite a few torture instruments, and each one of them is terrifying.

Things like flogging are just appetizers.

But there was no way to pry open this guy's mouth.

Although this guy is at least a seventh-rank county magistrate and absolutely cannot be killed, the Jinyiwei will definitely not let him go.

After thinking about it, Ye Xuan felt that he must have some concerns that he couldn't say.

It is not known why this is the case.

Perhaps he was afraid that he might say something he shouldn't have and implicate other officials.

After all, collective punishment was a very common phenomenon in ancient times.

But Ye Xuan is a Jinyiwei, so he is not afraid of being implicated by Lao Zhu.

His top priority now is to resolve this matter.

"Zhenshan, you go out and wait first. Let me interrogate this guy." After thinking for a while, Ye Xuan instructed Song Zhenshan who was standing beside him.

"You?" Song Zhenshan hesitated and murmured, "This is not appropriate..."

After all, Ye Xuan is a centurion, and asking him to personally interrogate a county magistrate is really a waste of his talent.

Because a centurion is, after all, of the sixth rank, one rank higher than a county magistrate.

"Stop talking nonsense and get out."

Ye Xuan didn't care about that and directly drove Song Zhenshan out.

The most important thing now is to pry open Cheng Gong's mouth.

But there is no other way but to do it myself.

After Song Zhenshan left, Ye Xuan and Cheng Gong were the only ones left in the cell.

"I wonder what the captain wants to ask me?" Cheng Gong raised his head and looked at Ye Xuan in front of him, with disdain and contempt in his eyes.

Ye Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Will you answer what I ask you?"

"of course not!"

Cheng Gong laughed loudly, looking a little crazy: "Boy, get out of here! Don't try to get anything out of me, because I won't tell you anything."

"Are you sure?" Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "In many cases, you can't be too sure of what you say, or you will be slapped in the face soon."

"Haha! I'll wait and see." Cheng Gong's face was full of fear, and he didn't feel afraid at all. The civil and military officials in the court didn't have a good look on their faces towards the Jinyiwei.

Naturally, Cheng Gong would not have a good attitude towards the Jinyiwei.

Ye Xuan was used to the expressions of these officials and didn't feel angry.

After all, what he does is annoying, there's nothing we can do about it.

"Do you think that just because you are not afraid of the Jinyiwei's punishment, you will not be afraid of my punishment?" Ye Xuan had a harmless smile on his face and seemed calm.

Hearing this, Cheng Gong was stunned: "Your punishment? What does it mean?"

"Someone come here!" Ye Xuan did not answer Cheng Gong's question, but shouted outside.

Soon, Song Zhenshan hurried in.

"My lord, what can I do for you?"

Song Zhenshan stood aside respectfully and asked.

Ye Xuan smiled, and then ordered: "Get me some steel needles."

"Yes!"

Song Zhenshan immediately stepped back and went to do what Ye Xuan had instructed.

Just now, Ye Xuan suddenly thought of a good idea.

Since the punishments of this era were unable to pry open Cheng Gong's mouth, he did not believe that future punishments would not be able to pry open Cheng Gong's mouth.

He thought of the punishments used by the Military Control Commission on prisoners on TV in his previous life.

Each one is extremely cruel!
And if one punishment doesn't work, then use two!
All in all, there are many ways, but I'm just afraid that Cheng Gong won't be able to hold on and will faint.

Ye Xuan didn't have to wait long before Song Zhenshan hurried back.

"My lord, I have brought all the things."

Song Zhenshan took the leather bag containing the steel needles and handed it to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan took the leather bag, pulled out a steel needle from it, and held it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully.

The steel needle reflected the faint light coming in from the small window, and it appeared sparkling and extremely sharp.

Then, Ye Xuan looked at Cheng Gong with a smile on his face: "As the old saying goes, a man who knows the current situation is a hero! I believe that the torture instruments at this moment will be able to pry open your mouth."

Ye Xuan winked at Song Zhenshan, indicating that he should hold Cheng Gong down.

Song Zhenshan understood what he meant and held Cheng Gong down, forcing him to find a way to move.

But Cheng Gong was not at all flustered, thinking that the punishment used by Ye Xuan was almost the same as the one used on him by the Jinyiwei.

Ye Xuan didn't hesitate at all and inserted the needle into the middle of Cheng Gong's nail.

The piercing pain that goes from your fingers to your heart instantly makes you feel suffocated.

Even Song Zhenshan, who was watching from the side, felt his scalp tingling.

When the steel needle pierced his body, Cheng Gong let out a terrible scream.

"what!!!"

You have to know that during such a long period of torture, Cheng Gong never said a word.

This is the first time I've heard someone scream like this.

In an instant, Cheng Gong's forehead was covered with sweat.

It was as if it had experienced a heavy rain.

Ye Xuan pulled the steel needle out from between the other person's fingers, but the tearing pain left behind was still unbearable.

"I...I'll tell you! Sir, I'll tell you whatever you want to know! Please...please forgive me..."

Cheng Gong, who was so arrogant just now, began to beg humbly, and was completely different from before.

And his eyes were red and he looked like he was about to cry.

"You admit it already? I'm just getting started!" Ye Xuan said with a smile.

There was still a look of unsatisfied expression on his face.
