Chapter 100 Cornelian Pepper Soup

Gao Shixin sneered: "Is it just released by hindering the Jinyiwei from performing official duties? General Sun, I'm sorry, I must take these people back to the Liaoyang Jinyiwei Hundred Houses Office for interrogation! But please rest assured General Sun. As long as you are bewitched and you have no problem, Gao will be released! If there is any problem, Gao will naturally send them to the Jinyiwei in the capital!"

"Stop them and don't let them take our people away!" Sun Degong shouted, wanting his people to come up to stop them.

Just when Sun Degong's men surrounded the cavalry of the Jinyiwei and Gao Shixin and refused to let them go out, they could only hear a sing of fame from outside: "Gao Mansion Master is here!"

The prefect Gao Bangzuo led a group of yamen runners and Min Zhuang appeared.

Gao Bangzuo's appearance promptly helped Gao Shixin to resolve the siege. After all, this was an era when civil servants and martial arts were lowly. With a civil servant intervened, Sun Degong did not dare to cause trouble anymore. In fact, after Gao Shixin entered the city, he had already sent people to find the prefect Gao Bangzuo and told him about the matter in the city.

When he heard that the Zhai family business actually transported food to Jiannu, Gao Bangzuo, who had always been upright, was furious after hearing this. Although Gao Bangzuo, as a civil servant, did not like the Jinyiwei, he could not tolerate sand in his eyes. He heard that someone was familiar with Jiannu, so he immediately took the servants and Minzhuang to the Zhai family business.

Sun Degong dared not forcefully stop the Ming tradition of civil and nobles and lowly martial arts. After all, he did not think about rebelling at this time. Sun Degong knew how powerful the power of the Chinese civil servants was. Sun Degong knew in his heart that the military power in the court was actually in the hands of civil servants. Once a conflict occurred and a civil servant died here, he would face the encirclement and suppression of the Liaodong army, so he had to honestly make way out.

"Riding a donkey and reading the songbook, let's take a look! Gao Baihu, you'd better not fall into my hands!" Sun Degong said viciously.

Gao Shixin sneered: "General Sun, don't fall into my hands in the future!"

If Sun Degong hadn't had enough evidence for now, it would be a problem to win him with Gao Shixin's amazing plug-in ability. However, after taking Sun Degong, he would have faced the consequences of a large-scale rebellion and mutiny between the Liaodong generals, or even a rebellion and surrender to the enemy. Gao Shixin could not afford such consequences.

When he returned to his mansion, a servant said, "Lord, that Eagle Claw Sun is so disrespectful! He actually took our brother away in front of everyone! If this is said, lord, where will you put your face?"

"That's it!" Another servant said, "Lord, otherwise we will send troops out to kill these eagle claw grandsons and save our brothers!"

"Yes, I fell into the hands of the Jinyiwei, I'm afraid those brothers will suffer!"

Sun Degong said: "It's not time for us to kill the officials and rebel! If we go to kill the Jinyiwei, then the court will definitely not let us go! I believe that our brothers will definitely not tell us. The Jinyiwei will not dare to kill them if they can't get the evidence! If they kill them, I'm afraid that the Liaodong generals will not agree!"

In fact, Sun Degong was thinking that if he rebelled now, he could escape and seek refuge in Houjin. But what should he do if his family is big or small? What should he do if his wife and children at home? What should he do if his mother and mother? How can those women, children, old and weak escape? I'm afraid that none of them can escape.

Sun Degong had long been in contact with Li Yongfang. After Li Yongfang was suddenly killed, Huang Taiji's people contacted Sun Degong directly, hoping that Sun Degong would secretly help the Later Jin Dynasty, and Sun Degong also agreed. Some things, his most trusted servants knew about it. Now two servants who knew the inside story also fell into the hands of the Jinyiwei, but Sun Degong believed that those servants could withstand severe torture. They would rather be tortured by themselves than betray the head of the family. If the servants were tortured, then the major generals in Liaodong would be in chaos.

Unfortunately, Sun Degong didn't know that even the loyal servant could not withstand the torture of water torture.

Gao Shixin did not take all the more than 100 Sun family members back to Liaoyang, but took them to the Guangning Prefect's Office first.

More than 100 arrested servants were questioned by the Jinyiwei. They briefly interrogated them and caught the two servants and the rest were released on the spot. The two servants and officers will be taken back to the Jinyiwei Hundred Houses of the Jinyiwei Station for interrogation.

"Gaofu Zun, the last general has bid farewell. Thank you for your support to the last general!" Gao Shixin said respectfully to Gao Bangzuo.

"I will give you a trip." Gao Bangzuo admired this young Jinyiwei family.

Gao Bangzuo personally sent the Jinyiwei out of Guangning City and arrived at the gate of the city. Gao Bangzuo asked, "Gao Baihu, do you arrest Sun Degong's trusted servant, but there is enough evidence?"

"The Zhai family is full of evidence, but Sun Degong's servants blocked the Jinyiwei's affairs. If he had no ghost in his heart, why would he stop the officials? As long as he brought these servants back for the first trial, he would naturally know." Gao Shixin said with a smile.

Gao Bangzuo sighed: "Gao Baihu, please do your own thing. I can only help you here. You can handle the subsequent matters yourself. The relationship between the generals and sects in Liaodong is complicated, and if you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces."

"The officials are devoted to serving the court and doing things for His Majesty. They are loyal and righteous in their hearts. Why are they afraid of evil demons?" Gao Shixin bowed to the sky.

"It's a pity that you are not a civil servant. How great would it be if you were a civil servant!" Gao Bangzuo said in his heart.

The two trusted servants were blocked by someone with rags to prevent them from committing suicide by biting their tongues. They were tied up like rice dumplings, placed in two trucks, and taken back to the Liaoyang Jinyiwei Hundred House.

"Sir, don't worry, let these two guys be handed over to the officials. Brothers must let them confess honestly and confess everything when their parents go to bed!" A small flag walked forward with a flattering smile on his face.

"Don't use appetizers, mourning, scrubing, etc., it probably won't be useful to them. If we torture people, we can't explain it yet, so we should just use water torture! In addition, don't use feces, use dogwood." Gao Shixin said.

The little flag bowed quickly: "I understand!"

Some time ago, someone found some dogwood from somewhere, and now it comes in handy.

The two Jinyiwei Liss grabbed the chins of the two servants and twisted them hard, causing the two servants to lose their strength. They would no longer have to bite their tongue and commit suicide. Only then did they feel at ease to pull out the thick cloth that blocked their mouths.

Gao Shixin asked people to put the dogwood and peppercorns into water and cooked it. He made a pot of blood-red soup, mixed the soup with a large bucket of water, and stirred it evenly.

"I also put peppercorns. Is this a waste, isn't it?" Xiaoqi asked. Condiments like peppercorns are not cheap. A pound of peppercorns can sell twenty copper plates, which is more expensive than pork.

"It's better to add peppercorns."

A strongman walked to two Sun family servants who were tied up with a bucket and said with a grim smile: "You'd better give out everything you know honestly to avoid any physical pain!"

"Bah!" A servant spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, but because his mouth had lost strength, the phlegm did not spit onto the Jinyiwei's face, but fell on his own clothes.

"I'm pretty tough! I hope you can be so tough when the torture is being executed later!" The Jinyiwei Lishi grinned, "Come on, tie them up and prepare to be executed!"

Four Jinyiwei Lishi tied these two Sun Jiajia’s servants to the door panel, then raised the feet of the door panel, so that the two servants lie down on the door panel, and then covered their faces with thick cloth with good water absorption effect.

The soup made by mixing dogwood and peppercorns was numb and spicy. Although the same bucket of water was mixed, the taste was still very strong. Jinyiwei scooped up a scoop of water and poured it gently onto a thick cloth.
