The government office, the torture room, Yan, who had just been taken in, saw all kinds of torture instruments placed in front of him, and was so scared that his legs were weak on the spot: "Give up your life, let go!"

The official in charge of torture narrowed his eyes: "Say, who did you instruct to frame others in the name of witchcraft!"

"I didn't have any instructions!" Yan's face was pale and trembled: "The villain shouldn't be greedy for money. In order to collect more benefits, he asked those people to take their daughter away!"

"I'm not honest?" The official sneered and greeted him: "Hold it up! Take a dozen whips first, see if you remember what you did!"

"No, no! The villain is wronged, the villain really knows nothing!" Yan was begging for mercy at the top of his lungs, but was tied with his hands, hung up, and barely standing on tiptoe.

After more than a dozen whips, Yan cried even harder: "Give me your life, spare me your life! The villain really doesn't know what he can say, and he says everything he can say!"

"Okay, I'll ask you!" The official signaled his subordinates to stop the whip and asked loudly: "How did Ruan's birth date come from!"

"She was abducted since childhood, how can she remember her birth date? Say!"

"It's made up by villains, and it's all made up like this..." Yan cried and told the reason for making up the birth date of "daughter".

They are all the godmothers who have any daughters, they bought them all.

Some people were abducted since childhood and did not remember where their hometown was, their parents' names, and even more unlikely to remember their birth date and horoscope.

So after buying it and when you decide to raise it, the godmothers will name these "daughters" and make a name for their birth, and naturally they will also make a date of birth and date of birth.

After all, some guests should ask for a good start to the birth date and horoscope before giving the young lady he likes, or before drinking the "first taste of the soup".

As for whether the birth date and horoscope compiled can match the guests' wishes, it depends on luck.

The Ruan family, who almost became a "sacrificial" this time, was given by Yan. I don't know the original surname because it was abducted girl.

Of course, his life experience and birth date were also compiled by Yan.

The so-called life experience is "who was separated from his family when he was young, wandering around, and fortunately his godmother took him in."

It is a convention for the goddaughter to name, compile birthdays, and life experiences. It has been so many years since it has been like this.

However, this time, the thief gave him a "benefactor" after asking about Ruan's birth date and horoscope. As for his life experience, he didn't even ask.

It just so happened that the life experiences made up by Yan’s daughters were all from Xiangzhou because she was from Xiangzhou.

There is Dongting Lake in Xiangzhou, which is hundreds of miles in a radius. The young lady said to Enke vaguely, "I was separated from my family on the shore of Dongting Lake when I was young." How can the other party verify it?

However, Yan's words were made, but he was still whipped.

She was beaten to death, her skin was blooming, and her throat was hoarse, and she could only cry and say, "I really didn't know about it beforehand."

Finally, I fainted from pain.

Next door, the Jiangxia King Xiao, who was listening to the audience, could hear Yan's confession clearly.

Looking at the attendant officials, seeing that the other party thought Yan should not have lie, he signaled to the officials who came to listen to the order, and the torture ended and spared the Yan family's life.

He suspected that Yan and Ruan had problems. One of the reasons was the birth date of Ruan: If Ruan was abducted when she was young, how did she remember her birth date?

Normally, children will not know their birth date, let alone the abducted children.

Therefore, Xiao Daqian suspected that Yan was a thief accomplice, so he asked Ruan to act in a play.

Then there was a severe torture just now.

Now it seems that the birth date and horoscope made by Yan for Ruan is just the same as the birth date and horoscope of the queen.

After being found out by the thief, Ruan was in trouble.

"Give her good medicine and take good care of her, don't die." After Xiao Daqian gave the order, he stood up and left.

Yan and Ruan’s “mother and daughter” seem to be really unlucky. The key to solving the case is to catch those thieves.

The case has not made any progress for the time being, but with such a result, the empress dowager and the emperor cannot give a decent explanation.

It is impossible to wash away the suspicion of Zhang Guiren (Zhang’s official identity is a noble person), and he is inevitably suspected.

What should I do next?

Daqian Xiao found it quite tricky.

......

At night, Li Li was reading books and learning the skills of power fighting.

The book is the newly printed Volume 33 of "The Strategies of the Warring States" and "Zhongshan".

During the Warring States Period, Zhongshan Kingdom, Prime Minister Sima Yun (also known as Sima Xi and Xi) was slandered by Yin Ji, the favorite concubine of the King of Zhongshan, and was very depressed.

As soon as the envoy of Zhao State arrived, Sima Yunce, Shi Tian Jian, offered a suggestion: Tell the envoy of Zhao State about Yin Ji's beauty. When the King of Zhao learned that she must have her.

If the king (King of Zhongshan) feared Zhao State and gave Yin Ji to King Zhao, then no one in the court would say bad things about you (Sima Heng).

If the king refuses, then you advise the king to make her the queen, and it will be difficult for King Zhao to ask for someone again.

Yin Ji will be the queen as she wishes, and she will be grateful to you.

Sima Xi thought this method was good, but he thought that Guang and Zhao envoys said it was useless, and that Yin Ji must know the kindness he owed him.

At this time, Yin Ji and Jiang Ji competed for favor and wanted to become queens. Sima Yun found Yin Ji's father and said that he had a stake:

Yin Ji and Jiang Ji compete for the position of queen. If things are done, your father and daughter will be of great importance. But if things fail, your whole family will be in trouble. Why don’t you ask me for help in the establishment of queen?

Yin Ji's father was very excited and asked Sima Xi for help, saying that he would definitely thank him after the matter was completed.

So Sima Xi found an excuse to ask the King of Zhongshan to send him to Zhao State to observe the truth and reality.

When he saw King Zhao, Sima Xi praised Yin Ji as the greatest beauty in the world, which made King Zhao feel moved: Go back and pass the message immediately and ask the King of Zhongshan to send Yin Ji to me!

Sima Xi and King Zhao agreed that this matter should not be leaked, so as not to kill him in anger. If so, he would not be able to persuade King Zhongshan to put the overall situation first and offer beauty to ensure safety.

After Sima Xi returned to China, he told the King of Zhongshan that King Zhao was extremely lustful. I don’t know who said that Yin Ji was the best beauty in the world and asked the king to give Yin Ji out.

Of course, the King of Zhongshan refused, but he didn't know how to refuse, for fear of inappropriate responses that angered King Zhao and caused the country to suffer.

Sima Xi suggested: Make Yin Ji the queen.

The concubine (Ji) can be given as a gift to someone, but the official (Queen) is absolutely not possible, and King Zhao is not good to speak anymore.

So, Yin Ji became the queen as she wished. She got her father told her that she knew that it was Sima Xi's help, so she was so grateful that Sima Xi's status became stable.

The plan is simple, but not simple.

Similar to being a slaughtering the snake: Sima Xi made King Zhao have an indiscriminate intention towards Yin Ji, and this move was like "slaughtering the grass", which scared the King of Zhongshan, so Sima Xi achieved his real goal.

Li Li savored it carefully and sighed: No matter which era, top talents can play with power and tricks, and they can achieve a huge effect.

Compared with the people of this era, he has nothing but more insights. When it comes to power and strategy, he may not be superior.

Therefore, you must act carefully and not be entitled to it.

King Xiao of Jiangxia gave beauty to the emperor. This was an open conspiracy. He could not easily block it, so he could only admit it.

So, now that Daqian Xiao is plotted by him, it is also a "recitation".

Li Li put the letter together and put it on the case, thinking about the "progress of the case".

The witchcraft case involving the emperor has always been a bloody situation, but there seems to be clues in this case that secretly point to the Concubine Zhang (Zhang’s official identity). So, what should Daquan Xiao do?

Check it to the end?

Sorry, Li Li's layout will not make people find clues, so the "bottom" cannot be found.

The doubtful identity of Mrs. Ruan and Yan Ganniang who saw money were purely used chess pieces. They were not aware of it in advance. Even if they were tortured, they could not express useful information.

Therefore, the witchcraft case cannot be solved, but it can be troublesome.

Those who secretly had bad intentions and wanted to plot against him or the emperor were disturbed by the case and were shocked and suspicious, so they could only stop and suspend their actions to avoid the limelight.

In the coming year, the emperor will stay in Huaiyin and the overall situation has been decided, and Li Li's main purpose of causing trouble will be achieved.

This was a suggestion given by Zhang Ying, as if he was shocked by a grass: he walked alone in the grass, knowing that there were snakes in the grass, but he didn't know where the snakes were and how many of them were.

So he used long sticks to constantly beat grass to alarm these snakes and let them escape from a distance. The stick holder will naturally be temporarily safe. He can calmly pass through the grass and go straight to the destination.

Of course, the allusion of "shocking the snake" has not appeared in this era, but the truth is the same.

As for Daquan Xiao, if he stepped on the "pit" he deliberately dug during the process of handling this case, don't blame him for taking the blame.
