Prince of the Tang Dynasty: Signing in began with harming Li Shimin

Interrogation overnight

"Historical Records: Biography of Assassins" says:

The prince and the guests who knew about it were all dressed in white to send them off.

As far as Yishui, the ancestors took the road, Gao Jianli built it, and Jing Ke sang in harmony. It was the sound of the change, and all the scholars wept.

And before the song said:

The wind is slack and the water is cold, and the strong men will never return once they go!

Again, the voice of Yu was full of anger, and all the scholars looked at him with anger, and all their fingers were crowned with hair.

"Yi Shui Song" also says:

The moon is dark and the night is killing, and the wind is high and the sky is set on fire.

The wind is slack and the water is cold, and the strong men never return.

Therefore, Li Jing didn't know where the saying came from on a night where the moon was dark and the wind was high to kill people.

But he can be sure that Yueheifeng is higher than the ancients, and it is indeed the best time for assassins to come and go.

But tonight, the moon is not visible on the streets of Chang'an City, and you can't see your fingers, which obviously echoes the dark moon and high wind.

It's just that Li Jing doesn't like "Historical Records: Biography of Assassins" very much. After all, he doesn't like the stupid and arrogant Prince Dan.

As Sima Guang commented on Prince Dan:

Yandan was overwhelmed by the anger of the dynasty, and wanted to offend the Qin Dynasty of tigers and wolves.

What is the greatest crime to be careless and shallow, to pick up grievances and make disasters quickly, so that the temple of Zhaogong will not be worshipped?

As for the commentators, they may be called sages, how can they be nothing more than that!

When a husband is a country, appoint officials with talent, govern with propriety, cherish the people with benevolence, and make neighbors with trust.

Therefore, the officials get their people, the government gets their integrity, the common people cherish their virtues, and their neighbors get their righteousness.

The main idea of ​​this statement is that Prince Dan is impulsive and stupid, acting indiscriminately with only his passion.

Not only does it make him die, but it also affects his ancestors and has no one to worship him, and his family and country are destroyed.

And later generations who praised Prince Dan as a sage and brave man would be as ignorant as he was.

Just like the brainless troll Li Jing met in later generations, he only talks about passion without thinking about strategy, and always thinks that everyone else is a fool, and he is the only smart person in the world.

Don't you know that in the eyes of discerning people, such people who love brainless coolness are as ridiculous as clowns.

It's all empty-headed waste that doesn't think about it, just the bottom of the waste.

……

The first ugly moment.

A desolate two-entry house.

Liu Rong fiddled with the only wick, and looked at the three people in the hall by the dim candlelight.

"Are they Shen Yijun, Prime Minister of Dali Temple, Qiao Zhengkang, Minister of the Household Department, and Su Qingmin, Chief of the Military Department?"

"Yes, chief."

The man in black on the left bowed his hands and bowed in response.

Seeing this, Liu Rong nodded, took off the sackcloth from the mouth of the person in the middle, tilted his head and asked, "Are you Qiao Zhengkang?"

"Who are you?

Why did you bring me here to help you? "

Qiao Zhengkang pretended to be calm and asked back.

Liu Rong smiled when he heard this, rubbed the dagger in his hand and replied softly: "You don't have to know who a certain family is, it's not good for you.

You only need to answer a certain question truthfully, maybe a certain family can spare your life afterwards! "

"Bold!

This official is the servant of the household department, an official of the imperial court under the fourth rank.

If you dare to hurt me in the slightest, no one will leave Chang'an City tonight! "

Qiao Zhengkang shouted, scratching his neck.

Liu Rong laughed unscrupulously.

Not to mention the backing of Li Jing behind him, even the mere status of being a fourth-rank official, he never took it seriously.

"Bang~"

"what!!!"

Liu Rong suddenly raised his foot and put his hands on Qiao Zhengkang's chest.

Seeing him fall three to five meters, he scolded him with disdain: "Qiao Zhengkang!

Since a certain family dared to arrest you, they would not care about your status as a court official.

If you dare to threaten a certain family again, the certain family will send you on your way. "

"you!!!

Cough cough cough~"

Qiao Zhengkang held his chest and coughed twice in pain, gritted his teeth and said aggrievedly: "If the old man answers truthfully, will you really let the old man go?"

"certainly!

The owner of a certain family is the most honest, so a certain family will definitely not renege on their promises and become fat! "

Liu Rong smiled with a blushing face, but Li Jing's shameless appearance appeared in his heart again.

Qiao Zhengkang didn't know why, he thought for a moment and shouted resignedly: "Tell me, what exactly do you want to find out?"

"Hehe~

Those who know the current affairs are heroes, Mr. Qiao really deserves to be a senior official of the fourth rank. "

Liu Rong joked casually, turned around and sat down and asked seriously: "A certain family asked you, Master Cui Ren went to the Ministry of Punishment to examine the files yesterday, what exactly does he want to do?"

"what?!"

Qiao Zhengkang's face changed when he heard the words, he shook his head again and again and said, "This old man is the servant of the household department, how could I know why Master Cui Ren went to the Ministry of Punishment to investigate the case.

If you really want to inquire about this matter, how about asking an official from the Ministry of Punishment? "

"I don't know?!

Heh~"

Liu Rong sneered when he heard this, squinted his eyes and buzzed, "Qiao Zhengkang.

Since a certain family came to you tonight, they must have found out your background.

A few days ago, Master Cui Ren invited you to the Yicui Building after consulting the files.

Although the two of you were very careful when talking, a certain family member has no way of knowing what the two of you said.

But just based on Cui Renshi's satisfied expression when he left, a certain family can also conclude that you must be caught by him!

Say!

What exactly does Master Cui Ren want you to do? ! "

Qiao Zhengkang trembled all over when he heard the words, gritted his teeth after thinking about it and said, "I don't know what you mean!

The old man did meet Cui Renshi a few days ago, but it was just chatting with old friends.

If you don't believe me, you can go to Master Cui Ren for questioning, why bring the old man here to suffer! "

"Hehe~

Qiao Zhengkang, you really don't cry when you see the coffin! "

Liu Rong sighed, and casually gestured towards the person beside him.

"Since Master Qiao is unwilling to speak, you should greet him with your heart.

A certain family heard that waterboarding can scare people to death, but they don't know if it's true or not. "

"promise!"

"what?!

What do you want to do?

Stop quickly, the old man is a court official, what on earth are you trying to do! "

The entourage stepped forward, and Qiao Zhengkang retreated in a hurry.

Liu Rong looked at the clear water marks under his body, curled his lips and said in disgust: "Tell me, what exactly does Master Cui Ren want you to do?

Otherwise, once the water torture is on the body, even a certain family will not be able to stop it for a while.

At that time, it will be like the suffering of ten thousand ants burning their bodies, Master Qiao may have to enjoy it for a full hour.

But Master Qiao need not worry.

If Master Qiao still refuses to tell the truth under water torture, a certain family still has secret techniques such as disemboweling the stomach and removing the brain.

Presumably after Master Qiao's physical examination...

Tsk tsk, that taste is enough for Mr. Qiao to remember for life.

Of course, if Master Qiao is still alive..."

"enough!

do not talk!

I tell you, the old man tells you everything! ! ! "

Qiao Zhengkang shouted palely before Liu Rong finished speaking.

He came from a poor family and suffered from snakes, insects, rats and ants since he was a child.

Just now, just hearing about the burning of Wan Ants already made his liver and gallbladder split, and his mind was shaken.

What's more, there are unheard of terrifying methods such as disemboweling the stomach and removing the brain...

This moment broke his fragile mind.

If what Liu Rong said is true, after this set of procedures goes down, even if he survives by chance, his life will definitely be worse than death.

Since neither the left nor the right could escape death, why did he still mention to keep the secret for Master Cui Ren?

"This old man told you what Cui Renshi wants to do, but you must never embarrass this old man's family."

"Master Qiao, don't worry, the crime is not as serious as a family member or a certain family knows."

Liu Rong responded with a rare seriousness.

He knew that Qiao Zhengkang's bones were the softest among the three, so he chose to interrogate Qiao Zhengkang first.

Wanting to wait for him to open his mouth to explain, the other two chose to keep their mouths shut.

It's just that when he heard what Qiao Zhengkang said, the smug look on his face disappeared instantly.

This Cui Renshi, Patriarch Cui, is truly daring!
