Chapter 60 The Secret Books That Must Be Cultivated
Chapter 60 The secrets that must be practiced
This time, he did not imagine dealing with Hong Shan, first presented evidence, and asked simply: "You ordered Hong Shan to kill Jin Laosan and others. Now, I ask you, are you going to do it or not?"
Liu Xiang was just hearing what Xiao Jiading said, thinking that he was still cheating on him, and at the same time, he also hoped that the people above would protect him. So he insisted on the wrongdoing.
Xiao Jiading didn't say much, and waved his hand to Captain Dai lazily: "Give him the torture!"
The soap members swung the water and fire sticks and slapped Liu Xiangzheng. Then, they pressed his ankle with the water and fire sticks, and stomped on it. The pain made him die. He couldn't resist it, and finally let go: "I..., I've taken it..."
At this time, Xiao Jiading had fallen asleep on the couch. He didn't sleep all night, so he was too sleepy. The main evidence of this case had been obtained, so he was not worried that Liu Xiangzheng would not confess. The reason why he did not present evidence to let the other party take the initiative to confess, and used to torture and force confession was to make Liu Xiangzheng, a vicious guy who killed three people in a row, suffer. As soon as he relaxed, he was tortured and tortured there, and he was already asleep here.
Captain Dai hurried over, woke him up carefully, and whispered: "Brother, this kid is willing to confess."
"Yeah! Bring it here!"
After being brought over, Liu Xiang started to say something before Xiao Jiading asked, "This is the thing. After I learned that my sister-in-law had an affair with Jin Laosan in Huangyan Village, I was very angry and once cursed Jin Laosan, saying that he would not die well. Unexpectedly, Hongshan heard it privately, so he went to kill Jin Laosan quietly. After coming back, he reported to me. I only realized that after asking about the incident in detail, I was very angry and scolded him. I said that it shouldn't be like this. I was wrong. I concealed this matter and did not report it to the yamen. It was my dereliction of duty. I accepted the severe punishment of the king's law..."
When he said this, he secretly looked at Xiao Jiading. Seeing that he was just sneering, he felt a little furious and stopped.
Xiao Jiading said coldly: "So, you didn't participate in killing Jin Laosan? All things were done by Hongshan?"
"Yes..." Liu Xiang was gritting his teeth and answering.
"You didn't tell the truth, - continue to torture!" Xiao Jiading was too lazy to say more to him, and waved to Captain Dai and said.
So, Liu Xiangzheng was pulled outside the door and tortured, and a shrill scream sounded again. However, this did not affect Xiao Jiading's sleepiness at all. He quickly fell asleep on the couch again.
I don’t know how long it took, but he was awakened by a sweet voice. When he opened his eyes, he found that it was the young village girl Daisy! He was standing shyly beside him with a bowl of ginseng soup.
Xiao Jiading was surprised and happy and said, "Daisy? Why are you here?"
"It was Luocun who asked me to serve Mr. Xiao. Mr. Xiao invites tea!"
"Oh, thank you!" Xiao Jiading took the ginseng soup and took a sip. It was a bit bitter, but the aftertaste was sweet.
Daisy said, "Just just now, the captain came in and said that Liu Xiangzheng said he was willing to confess truthfully. Because he saw that Mr. Xiao, you were sleeping soundly, and he didn't dare to disturb him."
"Yes!" Xiao Jiading looked out of the main hall and saw Captain Dai standing at the door, and said, "Bring someone in!"
Daisy quickly avoided the wing room next to her.
Liu Xiang was dragged in. His feet and ankles were swollen high by the water and fire sticks, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he kept moaning in pain.
Xiao Jiading still said lazily: "Say it! Remember, tell the truth! Avoid suffering from flesh and blood."
Liu Xiangzheng said: "The younger one must confess truthfully..."
Then, Liu Xiangzheng described the story of killing Jin Laosan, which matched what Hongshan and Xiaopingzi said, proving that he told the truth.
After he finished speaking, Xiao Jiading asked again: "Is this the matter?"
"yes……"
"You haven't done anything else illegal?"
"..." Liu Xiang was looking at Xiao Jiading in horror, wondering how much he had mastered.
Xiao Jiading said: "You and I know very well that you still have many illegal things that have not been said! I don't want to remind you, you will say it yourself! If you refuse to say it, then I will let the torture instruments come and let you say it!"
Liu Xiangzheng was silent, and Xiao Jiading waved his hand and asked him to drag the person down and torture him. Liu Xiangzheng quickly said, "I say! I say!"
So, Liu Xiangzheng talked about his affair with two other village women, and also about his threatening means to force others to sell good land to him, as well as extortion of some wealthy families in the village that he didn't like. When Xiao Jiading threatened and tortured, he finally told him about bribing the officials of the yamen.
When Xiao Jiading heard this, he ordered other irrelevant people to go out. Even the clerks in charge of the record went out. He personally made a separate record of the bribery. Xiao Jiading repeatedly asked in detail about the time of bribery, the bribery recipient, the amount of bribery, the request for entrustment, etc. According to Liu Xiangzheng's confession, the people he bribed were Cao Zhong Shirong from the State Government Office, Gu Jinkun from the judicial office, and Deng Quansheng from the county office. Through bribery, he became the bribery and settled some troubles that involved him.
After asking all the bribery matters, he wrote the record and asked Liu Xiangzheng to sign and seal it. He put the record in place and said to Liu Xiangzheng: "Don't talk about what you just said when you arrive at the yamen, otherwise, you are afraid that you will be silenced if you can't even wait for the execution ground! Did you hear it?"
Liu Xiangzheng knew that he was doomed, but it would be better to delay it for a day. Thinking about what Xiao Jiading said, if those people knew about their bribery, they would be afraid that they would kill people immediately. They nodded and agreed immediately.
Xiao Jiading called Captain Dai and the clerk in charge of the record. He then asked: "Are there nothing except these?"
Liu Xiang was crying and said that there was really nothing left.
Xiao Jiading said, "You have something to hide. It seems that it is impossible not to use torture." With a wave of his hand, he asked Captain Dai to drag him down again.
Xiao Jiading was also hungry, and Luo Village was just here to come and ask with him to have a smile if he should have dinner first. Xiao Jiading told him to have dinner first and then continue.
Xiao Jiading followed Luo Cunzheng to the kitchen hall. There was only a small round table with a few exquisite side dishes on it. Because he was busy with official business, Luo Cunzheng did not let the gentry accompany him, but just let Daisy sit next to Xiao Jiading and toast him.
Because there was still something to be done, Xiao Jiading did not drink, but just had a meal, and then continued to interrogate.
It didn't take long before Liu Xiangzheng said he was willing to confess. When he dragged it up, his feet and ankles had been crushed by the water and fire sticks, which made him die. It turned out that Captain Dai saw that he had confessed several times but failed to satisfy Xiao Jiading. He felt that his torture was not in place. This time he increased his efforts and directly destroyed Liu Xiangzheng's feet. He also threatened that if Xiao Zhiyi was not satisfied this time, he would let him suffer.
Liu Xiang was really scared, so this time, he finally explained the incident of instructing Hongshan to kill his companion Dongzi and strangling his sister-in-law to death. The plot mentioned was consistent with what Hongshan and Xiaopingzi said.
At this point, the entire case has been solved!
Xiao Jiading ordered to return to the city. Luocun knew that Xiao Jiading had official duties and did not dare to keep him. He brought the gentry, the Jin family, and Daisy to the entrance of the village.
Xiao Jiading and the others escorted several criminals. When they returned to Yizhou, it was already afternoon.
Seeing the city gate from afar, Huiyi said to Xiao Jiading: "Ni, go back and report to the master, come and invite you three days before the sect meeting."
"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you." Xiao Jiading ordered the others to move forward, and they came later.
After the others left, Xiao Jiading whispered: "Can you arrange someone to do something for me?"
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"Help me sneak into Deng County Wei's house and find out his assets. At the same time, monitor his whereabouts."
"No problem!" Huiyi nodded and agreed.
Xiao Jiading bowed and said, "thank you, thank you. This news is hidden. You must find someone who can trust you. You must not let go of the news."
"I'll do it myself and ask my senior sister and the others to go back and report it."
"That's great! I'll be relieved if you do things!"
Huiyi smiled sweetly, her pretty face, like a peach blossom, blushed slightly, lowered her head and said, "I have something to tell you."
Xiao Jiading suddenly saw her look shy and looked very beautiful. He was a little stunned and said, "If you have any whispers, just say it!"
This made Huiyi shy and glanced at him quickly, took out two thin booklets from her arms, handed them to Xiao Jiading, and said, "You can take this."
"What's this?"
"The first book is the light craft willow catkins of our Emei Sect, and I'll give it to you. I see that when you dodged the dart before, the movements were very fast and suitable for practicing this set of skills, so I'll practice it for you."
"I can't practice your Emei Sect's martial arts well, right?"
"This is just an introductory technique. All lay disciples of the Emei Sect can practice it. If you help my master compete for the leader, you can learn this technique. It's relatively simple, but there is no problem with ordinary martial arts masters. If you don't have a master around you, you may be able to help you escape at the critical moment."
Haha, this is true, there will be oil on your feet, so you don’t have to worry about fighting!
Huiyi said the second book, and her shame became even stronger in her words, and said, "The second book is..., it is a mental method. This book is very precious. You can practice it yourself, don't lose it, and don't show it to outsiders."
Internal strength and mental method? This thing is only found in martial arts novels. Could it be that I have traveled through time to martial arts novels? Xiao Jiading is a little confused.
Huiyi said: "You..., you must practice this technique! You will remember it if you are good to you...?"
Xiao Jiading actually didn't want to learn these things. After all, he was already an adult. He would probably not hurry up to learn these martial arts of stretching his arms and legs to breathe. But the beautiful girl had a good intention and was not easy to refuse. He took it over immediately. He didn't agree with it, but his face was very sincere: "Okay! I will definitely practice it with a gift from a girl."
Huiyi nodded in satisfaction, shyness, and said, "You should watch and practice for yourself these days. If you have anything to be clear, come to Qingyun Temple to find me. I'll tell you..."
"Okay, I remember."
