Chapter 168 Pull out the radish and bring out the mud

The terrible aspects of Zhaozhuo are not only all kinds of inhumane torture, but also psychological tactics. First of all, Zhaozhuo has its own set of effective ways to destroy the minds of others.

In our modern terms, it is psychological tactics.

Deng Beiming always likes to use torture first, and for him it was just the last appetizer. Torture was just a little bit of a matter of slightest part, and the initial psychological tactics were the most interesting and exciting part.

Deng Beiming tore Yang Zhiqi's clothes open and was amazed: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

Yang Zhiqi was trembling all over. When Deng Beiming's comb kept gesturing on him, his muscles began to beating with the movement of the comb, and he shouted a plea that was not as loud as a human voice: "No, no!"

Fortunately, Deng Beiming soon put away his comb and then picked up a whip hanging on the wall.

The whipping punishment has existed since ancient times. I am afraid that this whipping punishment has existed since human civilization. However, the whip in this imperial prison seems to be a little different.

Deng Beiming first 'slap' and threw a few whips in the air: "Mr. Yang, I think you are familiar with this whip. I heard that you were the magistrate of Xiangyin County and must have used whips to whip the people who do not abide by the law. However, the whip in our imperial prison is a bit different. There are steel wires and cow tendons mixed in it. If the iron whip is immersed in salt water and applied to the human body, do you know how terrible it is? Let's put it this way, just last winter, a thirteen bandits killed someone and were captured by the court. The emperor issued an edict to issue the bandit to the imperial prison. Oh, Lord Yang should also know about this."

Of course, Yang Zhiqi knew that in the winter of the 12th year of Chongzhen, the bandit Zhang Qiang entered the Wang Yuanwai's house in the suburbs of Beijing to steal. The owner discovered that Zhang Qiang was angry and slaughtered Wang Yuanwai's family of thirteen. He refused to let go of the three-year-old child, and raped Wang Yuanwai's daughter first and then killed.

The case was later solved and Zhang Qiang was arrested. This case, especially the case of a death row prisoner who was extremely guilty, was reported to the emperor for approval after being tried by the Third Department.

When Chongzhen learned about this, Thunder Ting was furious. He immediately issued an edict and took the criminal to the prison for trial. It is said that the bandit named Zhang Qiang was tortured by the prison for 70 to 49 days before he was exterminated.

Deng Beiming continued, "This bandit Zhang Qiang has enjoyed the power of this iron whip in this imperial prison. The power of this whip is that he can throw away the flesh on your body little by little. Do you believe that Lord Yang, I saw it with my own eyes, and a piece of meat the size of a broad bean on Zhang Qiang's chest fell at my feet. When the piece of meat fell at my feet, it was still trembling. Lord Yang, don't be in a hurry, I will try it for you later."

In the last sentence, Yang Zhiqi could no longer hear it. Because, this time he was really scared to faint.

Several prison guards of the Jinyiwei also looked at each other. Deng Beiming shook his head: "It's boring. This person is so cowardly. When collecting the money, the lion spoke loudly and slugged him up."

The two jailers took two buckets of cold water and poured their heads on Yang Zhiqi's head. Yang Zhiqi woke up again.

He thought so much that he fainted like this, but he didn't want to wake up. Yang Zhiqi, who woke up, burst into tears and howled and screamed.

For the Zhaozhu, this kind of scream was as ordinary as a daily routine. Deng Beiming did not show too much disgust, and his subordinates brought him a chair.

Deng Beiming sat down, and behind him were several minor officials responsible for recording confessions.

Deng Beiming was not in a hurry. He seemed to enjoy Yang Zhiqi's crazy screams. It was not until Yang Zhiqi vented and his voice gradually became weaker. Deng Beiming asked slowly: "Mr. Yang, let's get back to the point. I don't like to beat around the bush. Someone will impeach you in front of the Long Live Master. He said that Yang Zhiqi, the clerk of the household department, was always in the Ministry of Personnel. As long as someone wanted to buy an official, he would help him. The righteous memorials in his hand were also sold clearly, and they were both busy with the introduction fee and the money they received.

Yang Zhiqi felt cold in his heart, and then he understood why Emperor Chongzhen was furious and sent him to prison.

All of this is his own death. He always relies on his own to match the officials in the court to make profits. He is arrogant and arrogant in the Ministry of Personnel, and others are afraid of his own network of relationships, and often dare not speak out.

Little do they know that they have offended many people invisibly.

He wanted to quibble and say that there was no such thing. But if he thought about it carefully, how could the Jinyiwei tell him this if he had no real evidence? I think they had already obtained the evidence.

At this moment, beads of sweat as big as beans fell from the forehead of Yangzhi. This time, I really had no place to die.

Yang Zhiqi, as a censor, had no shame, and was flattered by others. Although he had submitted a memorial to summon famous minister Huang Daozhou to praise Lu Xiangsheng, the famous anti-Qing general, and to deposed the powerful minister Yang Sichang, all of this was just to cater to the superior.

Secretly, he made a connection with people's business of buying and selling officials, and soon gained a great reputation in the central circle of the court.

Deng Beiming's expression was full of malice. He smiled and said, "Tell me, Lord Yang, if you had already taken it earlier, you might have suffered less."

"Say, I'll say, I'll say." Yang Zhiqi trembled and said everything he knew: "The editor of the Hanlin Academy, Zuo Zhongyun Yang Changzuo received 7,000 taels of silver from the prefect of Zhejiang Province and said that he was giving his nephew a job in Shuntian Prefecture. I helped him deduct two thousand taels of silver. Xie Qiguang, the head of the Right Temple of Dali Temple, wanted to join the Ministry of Justice, and gave 5,000 taels of silver from the Duke of Chengguo Zhu Chunchen, and I deducted eight hundred taels of silver..."

In the morning court of the Forbidden City, it has to be said that the Jinyiwei's work efficiency was really high. Soon, Yang Zhiqi's confession was placed on the table in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

Morning court held Yang Zhiqi's confession and looked at the trembling officials below: "I know what this is, Yang Zhiqi's confession. I don't know if I don't look at it. When I see my heart is cold. You pure stream pillars, you so-called important officials of the country. How many dirty things have you done behind my back!"

It's over, the court was shocked. The emperor really attacked the court officials. How many officials had clean butts? Chongzhen Longyan was furious and scared them to kneel down and burst into tears: "I'm waiting for thousands of deaths."

In Chongzhen alone, Yang Zhiqi's confession, the officials involved in the case beat 27 people. No wonder Chongzhen was so angry that a small household department could implicate twenty-seven officials.

If you continue to check this, how many will it be found if the radish is pulled out and the mud is brought out?
