As soon as the words fell, two fierce brocade guards opened the door and came in and took Ding Shimei away.

I don't know if it was intentional or a coincidence, but the torture room is not far from here. After a while, a scream of pain came, which was terrifying.

Ning Jiang swallowed and foamed, his previous self-confidence and stubbornness no longer existed, and he leaned into the corner of the cell here, and asked worriedly, "Senior brother, what should we do?" ”

"Senior brother, I really can't stand it, how can I endure this kind of torture, I have to find some guilt to confess!" Yang Futian's face was pale, his body trembled slightly, and he also looked at Lin Haoran in fear.

Lin Haoran was holding a piece of hay in his mouth, holding his hands on his chest, frowning. The incident was beyond his expectations, he didn't expect the other party to be unscrupulous, and he did not hesitate to torture them to extract confessions.

It's just that they don't seem to have any other choice, and from the moment they come in, they're like fish on a chopping board. It is not difficult to surmise from Lu Shan's words that those who "confessed" are still in prison, and their condition is even worse than theirs.

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Haoran looked up at the two of them: "We are all famous, and some of them will be non-commissioned officers in a short time, but Lu Shan still dares to treat us like this." It proves that this matter will not be small, and if we contradict it, I am afraid that we will be beheaded. ”

"You're right, I'll listen to you, so what should we do next?" Ning Jiang nodded approvingly, then looked at Lin Haoran and asked.

"I guess they'll interrogate us next, and we're afraid we'll have to suffer a bit, but you all have to understand that if you want to get out of this prison alive, you can't do it!" Lin Haoran's eyes were full of sincerity, and he read the last four words very seriously.

How did the case come about, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that this matter is a coincidence, and the result of the uneven balance between the scholars of the north and the south. It's just that they were forced to admit bribery, and they were all beheaded.

Now there is only one way to live in front of them, and that is not to admit trumped-up charges.

Yang Futian drooped his head and said leisurely: "Now listening to Ding Panshi's screams, I want to recruit, although I don't know what they want me to recruit!" ”

"It's not promising!" Ning Jiang immediately scolded angrily.

Lin Haoran was about to say something more, when Ning Jiang suddenly stabbed him, but saw another part of the cell, where the Fujian man was curled up in that corner, his whole body trembling.

Yang Futian glanced at it with disdain, and said proudly: "It's not as good as me!" ”

It's just that Lin Haoran glanced at Ning Jiang, and always felt that there was indeed something wrong with this person.

But at this time, the door outside opened, and Ding Shimei, who was covered in blood, was dragged back by two brocade guards, especially the ten fingers were dripping with blood, which was shocking.

"Xie Yuanlang Lin Haoran, it's your turn!"

Duan Qianhu sent the person back, with a hint of ridicule on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly.

"Senior brother!"

Ning Jiang and Yang Futian looked at Lin Haoran one after another, their eyes full of worry.

Lin Haoran was also helpless in his heart, he had to return what he should have come, waved his hand with the two, and strode out of the cell.

After passing through a few doors, you will come to the information room, which is a brick and stone structure with an eerie atmosphere.

Flames burned inside, the air smelled of pine resin, and iron shelves were placed on both sides with various torture instruments. There are bamboo stalks, leather whips, and iron sashes, and there are three cross-sided wooden stakes in front of them.

Lu Shan, who was wearing a python robe, stood with his back to him, standing there with his hands in his hands, as if he knew that he had come in, so he said lightly: "You are very smart, but unfortunately I don't like smart people, you choose a torture instrument!" ”

Lin Haoran endured the indignation in his heart, and pretended to be upright and said, "My lord, I think you are also a cheerful person!" If you want to ask anything, just ask, if I do, I will recruit; If I hadn't done it, it would have been a waste of your time to use these torture instruments on me! ”

Lu Shan felt amused by these words, and slowly turned around. The pair of tiger eyes looked at the young Xie Yuanlang in front of him, but found that this Xie Yuanlang was much calmer than he imagined, and his eyes revealed a trace of perseverance and stubbornness.

After hesitating for a moment, he said to his subordinates: "Bring me his information!" ”

As the Zuo Du of the Ming Dynasty's Jinyi Guard, he naturally took care of a small Xie Yuanlang at will. It's just that he has always been cautious in doing things, and he can bully the weak, but he doesn't bully the strong.

Since Jin Yiwei is independent of the civil system, he can not even sell Yan Song's face. But there is also a disadvantage, he will not be able to establish a foundation in the civil service, and if he loses power, he will even have nothing.

After seeing the calmness shown by this young Xie Yuanlang, he found the information, and at the same time read indifferently in his mouth: "Lin Haoran, the word is foolish, seventeen years old, born in Changlin Village, Shicheng County, Gaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong, participated in the imperial examination in the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing, and was a blockbuster, the county, the government, the hospital, the department, and the township are all first, famous for "Mulan Ci" and "Bamboo and Stone", and has the elegant name of the bamboo gentleman, and studied under the Qingshan monk......"

Lu Shan's sudden pause, raised his head and asked suspiciously, "What is your husband's name?" ”

Lin Haoran was also stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to worry about this question.

It's just that there are some things that he doesn't want to say, and he doesn't know at all, although he has inquired with Jiang Ronghua, but the goods look like they love to talk about it, and now they really want to step on his feet fiercely.

"Tutor...... It is said that his name should not be shared with outsiders. Lin Haoran sighed secretly in his heart, and could only give up his hands to deal with it.

Lu Shan's red face suddenly became gloomy, his eyes were full of unkindness, and he shook the information in his hand and asked: "The first time I participated in the imperial examination, I was ranked among the township to try Xie Yuan, and no one in the world cares, how did this Xie Yuan come about?" ”

"Naturally, I got in!" Lin Haoran was stunned for a moment, and then replied honestly.

Lu Shan held on to this "flaw", and continued to press step by step: "How did you get it, isn't it cheating?" ”

"Before I took the township test, I went to Guangzhou Mansion for the first time, and I had never met my mentor Yin Tai, how could I cheat?" Lin Haoran was not afraid of him asking this question, and immediately replied with confidence.

Lu Shan's eyes narrowed, looked at his face and sneered: "There are many ways to cheat, and the proportions are ...... Spend money on test questions. ”

"I grew up in a poor family, so I wouldn't waste money on such things!" Lin Haoran pretended to be poor, and found that this brocade guard was not a legend, he really knew everything.

Lu Shan, however, looked disbelieving, and snorted coldly: "Before the township test, did you really do anything unsightly?" Don't try to deceive our Jinyiwei, our Jinyiwei knows everything in the world. ”

"I ...... I did! If Lin Haoran thought about it, he reluctantly admitted it.

The corners of Lu Shan's mouth curled slightly, and he spit out words lightly: "Say!" ”

"I ...... After I learned that Dai Shuisheng, the son of Dai Zhilang of the Ministry of Industry, actually had a clearance byte, I secretly went to the Jinyi Wei Guangdong Wei Command Department to complain about the matter! Lin Haoran almost forgot about it, and now he remembered that it was very unsightly.

Lu Zhi glanced at Lin Haoran deeply, but he didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly waved his hand at him.

"Let's go! Can't you experience the torture instruments here? Duan Qianhu looked at him and immediately snorted coldly.

Lin Haoran naturally did not have a masochistic mentality, and seeing that he didn't have to admit the pain of torture, he immediately turned around and followed Duan Qianhu away. What disappointed him was that Duan Qianhu did not take him out of this prison, but took him back to his previous cell.

But I don't know if this Duan Qianhu will be wrong, and I really want him to go back to Lu Shan to ask clearly, but looking at his feminine face, he finally held back his words.
