Chapter 85
"No!" Situ Ce said decisively, "Let's go see them together! Let's go now!"
Long Xiang hurriedly said, "Then I'll ask them if they left," he said they left early in the morning, and they were busy here, so they didn't pay attention to this matter, so they had to ask first."
"Okay! Don't be too slow, I know they are not leaving yet! It's right in your yamen! Take me to see them!"
Zhong Bingzhi was a little surprised, looked at Long Xiang, and finally said, "Okay, let's go to the place where they lived before to see if they left."
After saying that, he ordered Long Xiang to call the Jinyiwei outside the door and carry the soft couch out together.
The group left the hall and walked along the corridor. Zhong Bingzhi and Long Xiang seemed to be worried that Situ Ce would misunderstand, so they didn't say a word along the way. They didn't speak, and their Jinyiwei naturally couldn't speak.
This made Situ Ce even more alert, and he was even more uneasy. Could it be that these two people had thought of some countermeasures? If this is true, something must have happened to the old farmer's family!
Situ Ce felt anger in his heart began to boil.
Finally, when he arrived at the Jinyiwei room, Long Xiang asked the guest attendant and said, "Is the old farmer's family who lived here last night still there?"
The attendant was a little surprised and said, "They..., they are not..., not..."
"Call me now, where, right?"
The attendant reacted quickly. He knew something was wrong. He looked around and no one came to help him. He had to bite the bullet and said, "They..., they are in the interrogation room..."
Zhong Bingzhi looked stunned and looked at Long Xiang.
Long Xiang was furious and raised his hand to slap the servant, making him turn around in the same place, bleeding from the corners of his mouth, and shouted, "Who brought them to the interrogation room? Say!"
"Yes..., yes..." The attendant looked at him with shrinking eyes, not knowing how to answer.
Situ Ce tried hard to suppress his anger and said slowly: "Take me to the interrogation room! Now!"
Long Xiang kicked the servant again, and then said to Situ Ce: "There must be some misunderstanding here, Brother Liuchuan..."
"Stop talking! Take me to see them now!"
"Okay!" Long Xiang agreed quickly, and the group walked to the interrogation room again.
Situ Ce walked in the front. Last time, Long Xiang took him to visit the Jinyiwei Yamen. He knew where the interrogation room was, so he walked straight there quickly, forcing Long Xiang and others to speed up their pace.
When he arrived at the door of the interrogation room, Situ Ce stepped in and rushed in. The guard raised his hand and was about to stop him when he saw Long Xiang waved his hand in the distance and signaled not to do so, and quickly retreated.
Situ Ce pushed open the heavy door of the interrogation room and was stunned by the scene in front of him. He saw the old farmer hanging on an iron chain, with his hair disheveled, and his head hanging. He didn't know whether it was dead or alive. The young man was tied to a wooden stake with his upper body, covered with whip marks, and his head hanging down. The old woman and the young wife were tied to two wooden beds respectively. They were ragged and covered with whip marks everywhere on their bodies. They were still motionless, not knowing whether it was dead or alive.
Situ Ce was already burning with anger and his whole body was trembling, but he knew that fighting with the Jinyiwei could only lead to wisdom and not be able to capture it. He could not do anything randomly. So, he turned around, looked at Zhong Bingzhi and Long Xiang, and slowly said, "What's going on?"
Long Xiang turned around, grabbed a small flag in charge of the interrogation room and pulled it over, and said angrily: "Say! Who asked you to torture their family? Tell me quickly! Otherwise, I will chop you!"
The little flag was so scared that his whole body was trembling. He looked at Long Xiang, then looked at Zhong Bingzhi, and said tremblingly: "Little..., small..., this..."
"Do you dare to torture people by your own initiative? And you are also beaten the old farmer who helped us solve the case. You are such a bastard who doesn't have a head! Go and die!" As he said that, Long Xiang hit his chest and made him fly backwards, hitting him hard against the blue brick wall. His chest, lungs, bones and internal organs were broken, his eyes turned white, and blood gushed out like a pool of mud, and he fell softly beside the wall, and he saw that he couldn't live anymore.
Situ Ce sneered in his heart, but his face showed unbearable expression, and said, "Should you ask clearly what's going on and how to be ruthless next time?"
Long Xiang said angrily: "What I, Long, hates the most is this kind of bullying thing. Hitting him to death with one palm is considered a bargain," he said, turning around and bowing to Zhong Bingzhi and bowing: "Sir, I am angry, I will execute this guy without authorization and ask you to punish me!"
Zhong Bingzhi sighed and said, "This guy took his own initiative to arrest someone for interrogation and tortured the old farmer's family into such a miserable state. That's more than death! What's the crime of Lord Long?"
"Thank you, sir." Long Xiang stood up straight, Leng Jun glanced at the Jinyiwei around him: "What are you doing while standing stupidly? Why don't you let the old farmer's family go? Hurry up and find someone to heal! A bunch of waste!"
The follower Jinyiwei quickly came to the group and untied the old farmer's family. Someone flew to find a doctor to heal their injuries.
Although the old farmer's family was beaten very badly, they had not fallen into a coma. They had heard the conversation just now and knew that it was Situ Ce's help, so they could survive the disaster. The old farmer was supported by two Jinyiwei raids and forced himself to bow to Situ Ce: "Thank you..."
Situ Ce felt sad. If he hadn't provided clues to find their family to testify and solve the case, how could they have fallen into the evil hands of the Jinyiwei? He immediately bowed and said, "I'm really sorry, I apologize to you!"
Long Xiang hurried over: "What did Brother Liuchuan say? We should naturally apologize for this crime. Old man, I am really sorry. I have failed to monitor and did not restrain my subordinates. Let these beasts bring you torture. I apologize to you here!" After that, he bowed again.
When the Jinyiwei in the interrogation room saw that the Xiaoqi in charge had been beaten to death on the spot as a scapegoat, he dared not say a word. When Long Xiang bowed and apologized, he knelt down to the ground, kowtowed and thumped, and his mouth was also accompanied by the gifts in a mess.
Zhong Bingzhi glanced at the door and said, "Where is the doctor? Why haven't the doctor come yet?"
"I have sent someone to invite you, and I'll be here soon."
Situ Ce said lightly: "If you can't apologize, just be over?"
Zhong Bingzhi immediately understood and waved his hand, "You are so kind to remind me, - hurry up, go and get fifty taels of silver. You guys will beat them like this, and it will be over if you don't pay medical expenses? Hurry!"
"Yes!" Long Xiang hurriedly claimed yes, and asked someone to quickly get fifty taels of silver, hold it in both hands, and hand it to the old farmer himself.
The old farmer was stunned. He had never received such treatment. He was injured all over, but he had to struggle to thank him. This was the case in ancient times. It was normal for people to be beaten by the government. There was no way to apologize or pay money. Now they are both apologizing and paying money, which makes them feel a little uncomfortable.
Situ Ce inspected the four people and found that they were all just flesh and blood injuries, and they would be cured in one or two months. Thanks to Situ Ce's timely discovering that they were beaten and came to rescue them, so the injuries they suffered are not too serious. In order to ask for clues, the Jinyiwei dared not use severe punishment, for fear that they would be beaten to death, so many vicious methods have not been used yet.
Situ Ce took off his robe and put it on the old farmer.
Long Xiang also quickly took off his robe and put it on the old woman. Seeing this, the other Jinyiwei quickly took off his robe and put it on the young man and his little wife. However, except for Long Xiang's white robe, the rest were flying fish clothes. The young man and his little wife dared not wear it. They struggled timidly and took off the clothes again. However, the young wife's clothes were all broken, so she put the robe on her chest and drifted her head and cried softly.
Long Xiang smiled and said to Situ Ce: "Brother Liuchuan, this matter... was really out of an accident. Lord Zhong and I thought they had left safely. Unexpectedly, these bastards in the interrogation room actually tortured people in order to be greedy for merit. It's really, alas, I feel very ashamed to be unable to control my subordinates!"
Situ Ce looked at the young wife who was sitting on the ground holding her robe covering her shame, and said, "Has anyone ever defiled her? If so, I hope the two adults can enforce the law impartially and punish them according to the law?"
