"Those who are clear are self-purifying, and this official doesn't believe that you can put things that this official has not done on the head of this official." After the initial stunned, Liu Qiu's face sank, gritted his teeth and glared at the cell boss and said, he wanted to see how Jinyiwei framed him.

"The purifier purifies himself?" Hearing this, a playful smile suddenly flashed at the corner of the cell leader's mouth, and he looked at Liu Qiu unhurriedly and said, "Lord Liu, do you really think that you are as innocent as a blank sheet of paper?" ”

"What do you mean?" Liu Qiu felt that there was something in the cell boss's words, and couldn't help frowning and asking, he thought that he had not done the slightest violation of law and discipline.

"Lord Liu, Master Dong has already confessed everything, why are you pretending to be confused?" The cell boss smiled slightly when he heard this, and said while playing with the leather whip in his hand, "It wouldn't be good if everyone tore their faces." ”

"Lord Dong? Dong phosphorus! You make it clear, what does Master Dong's affairs have to do with this official? Liu Qiu was stunned when he heard this, and then reacted that the "Master Dong" in the cell leader's mouth was referring to Dong Phosphorus, and when he saw the cell leader's unfathomable appearance, he suddenly became even more puzzled, to be honest, he didn't even know why Dong Phosphorus was arrested.

"That's going to ask you." The cell boss didn't answer Liu Qiu, with a faint smile on his face, he liked this kind of cat and mouse game, first playing the famous Liu Qiu for a while and then swallowing it in one bite, this process was simply a pleasure.

"There's no need to pretend to be a ghost, this official doesn't believe that Dong Bian Xiu will be untrustworthy." Liu Qiu realized that the cell boss was deliberately playing tricks on him, and secretly said "hateful" in his heart, looking at the cell boss coldly, he would not fall for the cell boss's bluff.

"Lord Liu, the little one kindly reminds you, since you still don't appreciate it, it seems that it's not easy to be a good person these days!" Hearing this, the cell boss couldn't help but shake his head, and pretended to be helpless and said cool words.

"Hmph, if you want to kill, you can kill it, this official is not afraid of shadows!" Liu Qiu's eyes showed a look of disdain, and he raised his head and said to the cell head.

"Since Lord Liu is obsessed, don't blame the little one." The cell boss smiled slightly when he heard this, his smile was full of disdain, he didn't believe that Liu Qiu could withstand the punishment in the edict prison, and then waved his hand at the jailer on the side, and shouted in a deep voice, "Brothers, serve Lord Liu." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, several jailers immediately rushed forward and ripped off Liu Qiu's shirt, leaving him bare-shouldered.

Under Liu Qiu's nervous gaze, a stout jailer with five big and three thick and a leather whip in his hand rushed over violently, and without saying a word, he raised the leather whip and whipped it on his body.

"Ahh Liu Qiu had suffered this kind of crime in his usual life, and as soon as he was whipped, a bright red blood mark appeared on his chest, and the hot pain made him cry out involuntarily.

"Remember, don't slap Lord Liu in the face, Lord Liu is a scholar, and he needs the most face on weekdays." Seeing this, a smug smile appeared on the corner of the cell leader's mouth, he didn't believe that Liu Qiu, who had fine skin and tender meat, could stand this kind of suffering.

In fact, the cell boss asked the stout jailer not to hit Liu Qiu in the face, not because he wanted to be good to Liu Qiu, but because the case Liu Qiu was involved in was relatively special, and it was not appropriate to let Liu Qiu have an injury on his face.

The stout jailer immediately understood, raised the leather whip in his hand viciously, and whipped Liu Qiu's body with a crackle, causing Liu Qiu to scream again and again, and the shouting was quite terrible.

Liu Qiu originally thought that he would be able to grit his teeth and endure the whip of the stout jailer, but when the whip fell on him, he found that the pain had exceeded his limit, so he involuntarily cried out.

The cell head sat on a chair, sipping tea slowly, while admiring the good show in front of him, he wanted to see how long Liu Qiu could last.

In a government office in Fusi, Weibei Town, Jinyi, Ma Shun paced back and forth with his hands behind his back anxiously, secretly waiting for the news from the edict.

Ma Shun has already promised Wang Zhen that he will definitely repair Liu Qiu obediently and obediently follow his instructions, but Liu Qiu is a stepping stone for him to become a pacifier, so he is quite nervous at this time.

"Go to the edict prison to see, has Liu Qiu confessed?" Before he knew it, it was midnight, Ma Shun looked up at the night outside the window, and couldn't help but order the guards standing at the door.

The guards bowed to Ma Shun and left quickly, perhaps knowing that Ma Shun was anxious, so they quickly rushed back.

"My lord, Liu Qiu is extremely stubborn, and he has not confessed to his crime yet." After bowing his hand to Ma Shun, the guard said in a deep voice.

"This garbage!" Hearing this, Ma Shun's brows suddenly frowned slightly, and he couldn't help but scold, Liu Qiu is just a weak scholar, and the cell boss and those jailers have not even settled it now, it is really useless.

After pacing back and forth in the house a few times, Ma Shun went out with a gloomy face, ready to go to the edict prison in person, since he had already boasted about Haikou in front of Wang Zhen, then he must take Liu Qiu, otherwise he would be too incompetent, how to take charge of Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Division?

"Your Excellency!" After Ma Shun entered the torture chamber of the Imperial Prison, the people in the room bowed to him one after another.

"Why hasn't he confessed yet?" Ma Shun glanced at Liu Qiu, who was dead on the tiger chair with bruises all over his body, and asked the cell head who was sweating profusely with an expressionless face.

"My lord, this Liu Qiu is simply a stone in the pit that smells and is hard, he has passed out many times, but he is confessed." The cell head wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Ma Shun with an embarrassed face.

Originally, the cell boss thought that Liu Qiu would obediently give in if he couldn't take much punishment, but he really underestimated the weak scholar in front of him, and he died several times in the torture of the torture room and still didn't beg for mercy.

This greatly surprised the cell boss, and at the same time made him more and more impatient, not knowing how to explain to Ma Shun.

Let's take the tiger bench to say, the cell head has heard the crisp sound of Gaba Gaba coming from Liu Qiu's knee joint, and his legs are showing a very weird and terrifying extreme angle upwards, if he were an ordinary person, he would have been unable to hold on, but Liu Qiu gritted his teeth and persevered until he passed out.

"Wake him up!" From the cramped reaction of the cell leader, Ma Shun realized that things had become complicated, he didn't expect Liu Qiu's willpower to be so strong, it seemed that he had encountered a hard stubble this time, and after frowning, he gave an order in a deep voice, ready to meet Liu Qiu in person.

"Ahem, cough ......" As a basin of cold water poured down on his head, Liu Qiu, who had passed out, woke up leisurely, coughing incessantly in his mouth, and with his action, a lot of blood gushed out of his mouth, and it seemed that he had suffered a lot of internal injuries.

To be honest, Liu Qiu didn't expect that he would be able to persevere, but after experiencing the initial physical pain, he let go of his mentality and came to meet the torture in the edict with the determination to die, even if he died, he would die under the punishment, only in this way could he keep his name for the first time.

"Lord Liu, I can't hide it, Dong Phosphorus has already accused you of plotting with him against Taichang Siqing, and this official advises you to honestly confess your crimes, so as not to suffer again." Glancing at Liu Qiu, who was extremely weak, Ma Shun came to the tiger chair and said coldly, seemingly advising him kindly.

"Plotting Taichang Siqing?" Although Liu Qiu was in unbearable pain and his mind was drowsy now, when he heard Ma Shun's words, he couldn't help but feel a spirit, and the whole person became sober in an instant, and looked at Ma Shun with a stunned expression.

Since he was arrested and imprisoned, this is the first time Liu Qiu has learned of his crimes, and the previous cell boss only pointed out that he had an affair with Dong Phosphorus without saying the specific charges.

The reason why this is so is very simple, Liu Qiu and Dong Phosphorus committed the crime of deceiving the monarch, and the reason why it is said to be a deception is because Liu Qiu first "defrauded" the trust of the orthodox emperor and removed the Taoist who served as the secretary of Taichang Temple, and issued an edict to let the courtiers elect a new Taichang Siqing, "deliberately" deceived the emperor, and this article alone can make the two of them discredited and their heads fall to the ground.

Therefore, it does not matter whether Liu Qiu knows his crime or not, the important thing is to use torture to break down Liu Qiu's psychological defense, so that Liu Qiu can obediently "confess".

However, after realizing that Liu Qiu was already determined to die, Ma Shun decided to change his strategy to show Liu Qiu, and then find a way to force him to comply.

"Lord Liu, Dong Phosphorus's confession has been clearly explained, and the story of the two of you planning Taichang Siqing has been told as it is, and it is useless for you to deny it."

Looking at Liu Qiu, who was shocked, Ma Shun leaned down and persuaded with a pleasant face, "Actually, with Dong Fu's confession, you can't run away from the charges, why bother to ask for hardship here?" The emperor is merciful, if you confess, it will be a big deal to lose your official position and resign, otherwise you will lose your life. ”

"Phew!" Liu Qiu finally understood Ma Shun's intentions now, and originally wanted him to admit that he had colluded with Dong Phosphorus to seize Taichang Siqing, which couldn't help but make him angry in his heart, thinking that Ma Shun was really shameless and thought of using such a despicable means to frame himself, and in anger, a mouthful of bloody thick phlegm spit on Ma Shun's face.

"Look for death!" Seeing that Liu Qiu was rude to Ma Shun, the cell head standing aside was suddenly annoyed, raised the leather whip in his hand and pumped it towards Liu Qiu's body.

"Go, get some salt water." When the cell boss was about to whip him a second time, Ma Shun stretched out his hand to stop him, wiped away the blood-stained phlegm on his face, and then looked at Liu Qiu viciously and said, since Liu Qiu toasted and didn't eat and drink, then he would be unwelcome.

"Go get some salt water and add some chili noodles to it!" Hearing this, the cell boss put down the leather whip in his hand, stretched out his hand to the two jailers on the side, and shouted gloomily, he has many ways to torture people.

"Lord Liu, this official respects you as the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, if you don't know what to do, then this official can only do things according to the rules." The two jailers quickly brought a bucket of brine sprinkled with a lot of chili noodles on it, and Ma Shun scooped a scoop and put it in front of Liu Qiu's eyes, and said coldly.

"Hmph, you beasts killed by heaven will be punished sooner or later." Liu Qiu's Adam's apple moved with a grunt, he was now covered in bruises, and if he was drenched in salt water, he would definitely be in pain, but how could he admit the crime that was planted against him, it would be better to die, so he gritted his teeth and glared at Ma Shun.

"I don't know how to lift!" Ma Shun's eyes flashed fiercely when he heard this, and he slowly poured the salt water in the scoop and poured it on Liu Qiu's body with a bang.

"Ah~~" Liu Qiu suddenly raised his head to the sky and screamed, the scream was extremely terrible, his body kept struggling to break free from the restraints, and after the salt water stained his wound, he felt that the wound was burning like a fire, as if he was bitten by countless ants lying on the wound.

Looking at Liu Qiu, who was in pain, Ma Shun had a gloomy smile on the corner of his mouth, he had a way to rectify Liu Qiu, and he didn't believe that Liu Qiu couldn't be succumbed!
