Nian Huajiao: The cold-faced treacherous minister spoiled her unconditionally after breaking his vow

As a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Wang Jin was naturally aware of this punishment.

The most important thing is that he is most afraid of snakes, which is why Chen Fei did this.

Now as a prisoner, Wang Jin was filled with despair. Lu Jinan's face kept flashing through his mind. He secretly cursed Lu Jinan for being cold-blooded and heartless, just like the snake in the dungeon.

As soon as Chen Fei finished speaking, he roared with a ferocious face: "Chen Fei, aren't you afraid that I will die if you do this? Lord Lu, will you punish me?"

He thought that what he said was flawless, but he didn't know that his strong desire to survive made Chen Fei, who was interrogating him, feel a little relieved.

When interrogating criminals, we are most afraid of those who don't want to live.

Chen Fei deliberately ignored his words, swung the whip in his hand, and without even looking at him again, he continued to order: "Take him to the dungeon quickly. Watch him closely, just don't kill him." After that, he turned around and was about to walk out, but ran into Du Heng who had just stood still.

"Water dungeon? Lord Lu, are you going to torture him into a confession?" Du Heng said in a gloomy face.

Chen Fei did not answer him directly, but bowed and said: "I pay my respects to Master Du."

"I am here to see Lord Du." The Jinyiwei behind him also saluted.

Like Xu Yuan, Chen Fei was a captain in the Jinyiwei, and was not on the same level as Du Heng.

In the absence of Lu Jinan, they all had to respect Du Heng.

Although Chen Fei didn't show it on his face, he was actually anxious and cursing inside.

What's worrying is why his boss hasn't come back yet.

The one being scolded was that old bastard Du Heng, who would take advantage of the time when his boss was not around to show off in front of these small fry.

He pulled the corners of his mouth, and his drooping eyeballs rolled around again and again. He couldn't help but complain in his heart: Look how powerful you are. If people don't know you, they would think you are the boss of the Jinyiwei. If you have the guts, why don't you go ask my boss?

"I say, Lord Lu, are you planning to force a confession out of me?" Du Heng asked again with a gloomy face.

"I don't know what Lord Du is talking about. I am just following your orders and interrogating the prisoner here. I hope Lord Du won't make things difficult for me." Chen Fei said with his eyes half lowered, bowed in the direction of Lu Jinan's office in the Northern Pacification Office.

He didn't dare to answer Du Heng's question, nor could he answer it.

Du Heng didn't even ask him to stand up. He just walked around the few people who were still bowing to him and walked slowly to the rack.

He looked at the bloodstained Wang Jin, gave him a calming look, then turned to Chen Fei and asked, "You arrested my people without any evidence, and now I see that you want to torture them into confessing. What do you mean by this? Is this how your masters taught you to interrogate prisoners?"

There was a rumor circulating in the Yong Dynasty: No matter whether you were an official or a commoner, as long as you were caught by the Jinyiwei and sent to their prison, you would be lucky to come out alive. And if the Jinyiwei entered any mansion, they would dig you out from the three layers of dirt underground.

Lu Jinan's reputation was ruined because of this, but he never seemed to care.

When interrogating prisoners in the Jinyiwei prison, you have to suffer a little first before you can pry open the prisoner's mouth.

No matter who you are, as long as you come in, you will be served properly. If every inch of skin on your body is missed, it would be a shame to the notorious reputation of the Jinyiwei.

This is the usual process, and it’s also the reason why the Jinyiwei are so feared.

These are all tacitly known to everyone, even the current emperor knows something about them, but he has never objected.

Some methods are meaningless if you really want to discuss them, they will only add to your troubles.

Seeing that he was still harping on this point, Fade Chen immediately became annoyed.

Isn't it the same when you, Lord Du Heng, interrogate prisoners? Now you are asking questions knowingly and speaking hypocritically. Who are you trying to scare... My master is Lord Lu!

Thinking of Lord Lu behind him, Fade Chen straightened his back a little.

He was ready to play Tai Chi with the man in front of him: "I don't quite understand what Lord Du means. Even if it is a confession under torture, I will not admit it. Wang Jin is someone close to Lord Du. Lord Lu didn't inform you for your own good. He was afraid that if you knew about it, you would miss the old relationship and it would be bad if you were implicated again."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jin on the rack moved his body, and the sound of iron chains rattling was heard, followed by his weak voice: "I didn't do it, I just didn't do it. Maybe there's just someone who looks like me?"

"You have too many coincidences. There just happened to be someone who looked similar to you, and he just happened to go to the manor where the bandits were hiding, and you just happened to be ordered to go out of the city on a mission..." Fade Chen straightened up and looked at the man on the rack, speaking casually.

"I sent him out of the city on a mission, and everything is traceable. But as for you, I want to ask you, do you have any evidence to arrest someone?" Du Heng put his hands behind his back, looking at Chen Fei with a sense of oppression.

He just didn't believe that Lu Jinan would find evidence so quickly.

That day, he sent Wang Jin out of the city on a mission and had made all the preparations in advance.

There was a murder case in a family in that village. Overnight, the woman and child in the family were killed for no reason, but the man lived under the same roof and was alive and well.

The man had a lover on the farm, and the two flirted all day long and slept together openly. The woman had been enduring for the sake of her children, but she still ended up being killed...

And the bandit leader was hiding in the man's lover's pigpen.

Because the woman and the child died so tragically, the people in the village were worried that the man was the murderer, so they reported the case. Then, the case was taken over by the Jinyiwei.

He just sent people to investigate as it was natural, and Wang Jin also just went to investigate the case, that was all.

He was sure that no one would be able to find any flaws, not even Lu Jinan.

When Chen Fei heard his question, even though he was prepared, the man in front of him had been a Jinyiwei for more than ten years and had been the second in command of Jinyiwei for several years. The compelling aura around him was not something that anyone could resist.

He was so anxious that he was sweating all over, but he still managed to say, "Of course there is evidence. However, Lord Du, you also know the rules of the Jinyiwei. Evidence will not be shown to others at will. Please don't embarrass me."

Du Heng sneered: "Evidence?"

Bullshit evidence.

From arresting to interrogating, it only took one night. Where did the evidence come from?

"If there is real evidence against someone around me, I will not cover up for him. But if there is no evidence, I will not allow anyone to confess under torture. Liu Ming, untie them." Du Heng glared at Fade Chen and gave a sharp order.

He knew the rules of the Imperial Guard, but since no one had produced evidence, it was not impossible for him to take the person out if he really wanted to.

"Yes, sir." Liu Ming glanced at Chen Fei with contempt and waved to the people behind him.

"Master Du, you can't..." Chen Fei frowned and stood in front of the rack.

"Lord Du, are you trying to rescue the prisoner?" A cold and deep male voice came from the darkness.
