Pretending to behave

Back at the western suburbs, Wu Shaoting escorted Li Fulin and the others to pass by the Army Yamen in a very silly manner, and then deliberately walked through the two camps while the old army and the new army soldiers were having dinner. This scene made the minor officials and soldiers in the Army Yamen see it, and they began to discuss what was going on.

Wu Shaoting ignored these comments and took the person directly to the prison of the First Regulations Law Enforcement Department.

This prison was not specially built. After all, if the soldiers in the army made mistakes, they would at most beat military sticks and lock up small black houses. Even if they needed to be detained, they would just find an empty barracks to catch them and send a few soldiers to guard them. Therefore, the prison of the Law Enforcement Department was actually a farm underground storage room.

Wu Shaoting brought the man directly here and then tied him to the execution rack symbolically.

He ordered Ni Duan to send someone to guard the door, and no one was allowed to come in before he received his orders.

Ni Duan immediately arranged four confidant soldiers to go out.

"What should I do next?" Ni Duan asked.

"Is the body ready?" Wu Shaoting asked.

"It's ready, look, it's inside the wooden barrel, and you can replace it later." Ni Duan pointed to the few wooden barrels in the corner of the dungeon and said, "I thought it was three people, but now there is one more."

"Where did you get the corpse?" Wu Shaoting asked curiously.

"Two people just died a few days ago, and the other one was bought from a nearby town." Ni Duan said.

"You are so capable, you can do anything like this." Wu Shaoting sighed.

Ni Duan smiled and then said, "Haha, it's not too late to say this joke tomorrow. Let's take the next step quickly, so as not to have more dreams."

Wu Shaoting nodded, and he walked to Li Fulin tied to the execution rack and ordered them: "Now we are going to interrogate you, try to pretend to be a little bit. You may have to whip a few more times, but I will be able to do it."

Li Fulin smiled and said, "Just say hello, I, Li Fulin, rolled down from the Knife Mountain."

Everything was ready, and Wu Shaoting and Ni Duan began to torture and confess.

Some troublemakers in the military camp came here to find out. Although there were people guarding the gate and they could not see it, the scolding sounds from the dungeon were still clearly heard. Wu Shaoting and Ni Duan took turns asking, their voices were bigger than the other, just like the prisoner committed an unforgivable sin, and to be more appropriate, it was like killing his father's enemy.

Later, there were sounds of whips and sticks, followed by screams and begging for mercy.

The soldiers squatting outside were all excited. It was boring to be a soldier to pacify Japan. Once they encountered any excitement, they would be considered a strange thing. Anyway, they were idle.

"It's my first time today that I have seen Lord Wu torture and confession. I seem to have only seen him curse before. Tsk tsk, it's so cruel!" Someone sighed.

"I heard that the revolutionary party was involved in the new army, and Lord Wu was tortured and forced confessions."

"I always feel that Lord Wu is like a revolutionary party. Alas, it seems that it is not the case today."

"Stop the sound, you dare to say this, you want to die!"

Just as the group of soldiers were talking, a majestic voice suddenly came from behind: "What are you doing?"

A soldier turned around and saw the person behind him, he was shocked on the spot. He quickly knelt down and bowed, saying, "See General."

When the other soldiers heard this, they were all surprised. Some even turned around and didn't even dare to take a look, and then knelt down and saluted.

The visitor was Guangzhou General Fuqi, followed by Secretary Wang Changling and a dozen trusted soldiers. He happened to be working in the Army Yamen today. He just heard the comments from the yamen that Wu Shaoting was escorting two prisoners back to the commander's office from the city. He did not listen to the first bid report, so he naturally rushed over to see what happened.

"What's going on?" he asked with a cold face.

"Return to General, Lord Wu, the first person tortured the prisoner below." A soldier replied tremblingly.

"I'll ask you what's going on! As soldiers, if you don't stay in the barracks, why are you running here to join in the fun? Get out of here quickly. Let me see it next time, and I won't forgive you for being severely punished." Fu Qi scolded.

The soldiers quickly thanked him and ran away.

Fuqi took his people to the entrance of the dungeon. The four new soldiers guarding here quickly saluted. They did not stop Fuqi and directly made way for Fuqi to walk. Just as Fuqi was teaching the onlookers a lesson, the four new soldiers had already run in to notify Wu Shaoting.

Fu Qi had just stepped into the dungeon on the steps. When he looked up, he saw Wu Shaoting whipping the prisoner with a whip.

The prisoner screamed in miserable pain, his throat was hoarse, and a bloody hole immediately emerged from the place where he was just now.

"Zhenzhi, what are you doing?" Fuqi, as a literati, was still very disgusted with such severe torture and confession.

Seeing that Fu Qi was coming, Wu Shaoting quickly saluted Ni Duan and several other soldiers.

"General, Mo Jiang went to visit Miss Zhang this morning. Miss Zhang told Mo Jiang that when she was kidnapped, she heard that the kidnappers had a relationship with the revolutionary party. Now there are rumors that my 24 towns have been involved in the revolutionary party. Therefore, in the afternoon of the humble rank, he brought the kidnapper Li Fulin and his accomplice Shen A-si here to ask for the reason." Wu Shaoting immediately said the words he had prepared long ago, and was breathing while saying that he was very hard to execute the sentence just now.

"Is this really a matter? Then have you asked what the result?" Fu Qi asked seriously. The disaster of the revolutionary party is very serious, and it is necessary to crack down on it strictly at this point.

"The last general is incompetent, these two thieves are unwilling to say anything." Wu Shaoting sighed. He stood up and walked to the prisoner in the corner. He reached out and raised the man's head, and said, "Shen A-si only breathed a sigh of relief, but he just refused to say anything. I wonder if he would make a mistake."

At this time, Li Fulin, who had just been whipped, cried: "God of the General, please spare me, please spare me. We really don't know who the Revolutionary Party is. We kidnapped Miss Zhang just to make a living. What revolutionary Party is really not known..."

Wu Shaoting slapped him and scolded, "Stop it, it's not your turn to speak here!"

Fu Qi's face became serious. Do you know that Zhang Xiaoya's teenage girl can believe her words? He hesitated for a moment and asked Wu Shaoting: "Zhenzhi, aren't they three? Why are there only two left now?"

"Go back to the general, there is another one who has died in the prison cell of the patrol battalion." Wu Shaoting replied.

"All one and a half dead are dead, and they still refuse to say, is there any mistakes in this?" Fuqi asked.

"This... as the saying goes, it is better to believe that there is nothing but not to believe that there is nothing, and it is better to be wrong than to be abused. Otherwise, Rong Mo will be retried for the first trial. If there is no result, he will return the person to the patrol battalion tomorrow. Anyway, Li Fulin's case is well-founded, and the tenth** will be sentenced to death, so it is worth torture it more!" Wu Shaoting said further.

Fu Qi did not expect that Wu Shaoting was still so cruel. But he didn't think it was bad. This proved Wu Shaoting's loyalty to the Qing Dynasty. He nodded slightly and said, "Then let's do it first. Well, it would be bad if the wronged person is not good."

He sighed, said nothing more, turned around and walked out of the dungeon.

Wu Shaoting and Ni Duan looked at each other and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly ordered the soldiers to look at the gate, then hurried to Li Fulin and asked with concern: "Brother, I was sorry just now. Remember this whip and a slap first. If you want to seek revenge on me in the future, I will do whatever I can to pay back ten times."

Li Fulin spitted blood on the floor and sneered coldly: "Oh, look at your big and thick look. I just hit me twice like a thin girl. I just thought it was a tickle."
