City Lord’s Mansion Lobby.

Liu Cheng slapped the table and shouted at Chihe who was kneeling below: "I said, how did you send someone to steal our army's ordnance from the camp and hide it in the treasury? Who are the people in charge of the work? Is this your idea, or is it instructed?"

Chihe called for injustice: "General, the subordinates are really wronged. The subordinates still don't know what's going on!"

"It seems that you are a stubborn duck. If you don't give you a little bit of pain, you won't say it!" After Liu Cheng said that, he waved his hand: "Come on, pick up the stick!"

Two soldiers walked over with clamping sticks and put Chihe's ten fingers into the crack of clamping sticks. They pulled each of them apart, clamping the clamping sticks tightened, Chihe's fingers were clamped. As the saying goes, ten fingers connected to the heart, Chihe screamed on the spot: "Ah——"

When the officials under the City Lord's Mansion saw this scene, they were all so nervous that they dared not show off. They felt sympathy for Chihe, but they did not dare to plead for mercy, and they did not have the courage to stand up and speak for Chihe, because they could not protect themselves.

After two sticks, Chihe was sweating all over the pain, and her clothes were all sweaty, and her face was as pale as a dead person.

"Don't you say it yet? OK, come and call me!" Liu Cheng ordered again.

Two soldiers held Chihe, and the third soldier took out a whip and walked to Chihe, waving it and greeted him. In the lobby, he saw the whip whip on Chihe's body making a slap sound. Whenever the whip was whipped down, Chihe's clothes were ripped apart, making the skin and flesh burst.

With a whip, Chihe screamed hoarsely, weak, and his chest was whipped to the point of blood.

"General, the criminal has fainted!" The executioner looked at Chihe with his head hanging down and reported to Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng raised his hand again and said, "Come on, let him taste the taste of barbecue!"

"promise!"

The soldier agreed and took out a red-hot soldering iron from the outside and walked to Chihe. He suddenly pressed the soldering iron on Chihe's bloody chest.

"Chi——"Where the soldering iron is pressed, and a smell of burnt protein is emitted. The subordinate officials of the Ni City cannot bear to look at it and turn their heads.

"Ah--" Chihe, who was originally unconscious, woke up instantly by the iron, but fell into a coma again due to severe pain.

"General, he fainted again!" the soldier reported.

Liu Cheng ordered: "Get a basin of cold water to wake him up!"

The soldier quickly got a basin of cold water and poured it on Chihe's body and face. Chihe, who was in a coma, suddenly shuddered and woke up.

"Come on, put him on a tiger bench!"

When Chihe heard it, he came again? He had been ruined by the successive tortures, "No, don't, I'll do it, I'll do it..."

Liu Cheng immediately waved his hand and asked the soldiers to retreat aside, saying, "Okay, let me tell you, listen!"

Chihe fell to the ground and said weakly: "This case was indeed done by the Xiaguan, but the Xiaguan was ordered by someone!"

One word stirs up a thousand waves!

The officials of the Ni City were shocked. What was going on? Why did this matter have such a big turn, and the discussion sounded among the officials. This was really surprising and shocking. Is the city lord crazy? Aren’t he afraid that if he is discovered, the entire Ni City will suffer a catastrophe?

Liu Cheng was also shocked by Chihe's words. The whole thing was completely because he asked Chen Qun to arrange it well. Chihe actually admitted that it was his actions and said that he was instructed. What was going on? What was Chihe's abacus?

Liu Cheng stared at Chihe. The man was pale, his face was full of fatigue and weakness. He could not tell what he was thinking in his heart. Liu Cheng stood up and walked slowly to Chihe and squatted down and asked, "Tell me, who instructed you!"

Everyone looked at Chihe nervously, all their attention was on Chihe, and their ears were erected. At this moment, the lobby was so quiet that many people could hear the rapid breathing of them.

Chihe swallowed, "Yes...my brother, King Shanshan Banren!"

The officials looked at each other and looked shocked. This is impossible, right? Everyone looked at Chihe, thinking in their hearts whether Chihe knew how great a disaster would bring to Shanshan Kingdom?

An official stood up and shouted, "Master Lord, are you crazy? How can you talk nonsense?"

Chihe smiled with a smirk, her body was so bloody that it was really scary, "General, it was the commander of the lower rank of Banren!"

One of the officials had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and his eyes turned around and stood up and saluted Liu Cheng and said, "General, the subordinate officials can testify. This matter was indeed done by Chihe. These two people are responsible for the execution. As for whether Chihe was instructed by someone, the subordinate officials are not sure!"

The two officials pointed at by this pointed-mouthed monkey-chessed man were immediately furious, and one of them cursed: "Ba Can, you are talking nonsense, slander, this is slander and frame! General, this is really not something we did, we don't know anything!"

Liu Cheng felt that this matter was getting more and more interesting. He stood up and looked at the pointed-mouthed official and asked, "Your name is Bacan?"

"Yes, General!" Ba Can bowed carefully and agreed.

Liu Cheng walked slowly around him, "How did you know that they did this?"

Ba Can said, "That night, Xiaguan met some soldiers on his way home from drinking wine in the city. These people were carrying bundles of armor and weapons. Xiaguan was very strange. Our Shan Kingdom does not have such armor and weapons, so Xiaguan followed him quietly and followed him to the door of the treasury. He saw Chihe commanding the soldiers to move the armor and weapons into the treasury, but these two people were by his side!"

A strange light flashed in Liu Cheng's eyes, and he looked at Ba Can with a smile on his face, "Why didn't you report it two days ago, why didn't you come out to testify? Now you come out to testify against them?"

Ba Can bowed and said, "General, these two are Chihe's confidants. Chihe is in Guanni City. He will beat and scold officials who do not comply with him at the least, and find excuses to arrest and behead him. He will also be cruel and violent to the people under his rule and have no benevolence and righteousness. Previously, the officials were worried about his revenge and did not dare to stand up and testify against him. Now he has admitted it himself. What else can the officials worry about?"

"Okay, very good!" Liu Cheng patted his shoulder and immediately ordered: "Come on, arrest both of them!"

The soldiers rushed up to control the two officials who were witnessed by Bacan. The two of them had to resist, but each of them became honest after being beaten up.

At this time, Chihe didn't know where the strength came from crawled to Liu Cheng's feet and shouted: "General, Xiaguan was really instructed by Banren. Xiaguan was timid, how could he dare to attack the Han army privately? Xiaguan had always been yearning for the Han Han. The people in the entire city of Yanni City, the government and the army all used the Han coins and wore Hanfu! Xiaguan was loyal to the Han Dynasty, but Banren had always wanted to get rid of the Han Dynasty himself. In the past few days, he became even more aggressive. He did not slander the officials of the Western Regions Chief Secretary's Mansion and often secretly ordered the officials below to make things difficult for the people of the Western Regions Chief Secretary's Mansion. He also secretly ordered checkpoints in various places to block Western merchants who were planning to go to the Central Plains!"

Liu Cheng was furious when he heard this: "Bastard, I didn't expect that this kind of Ren was so sinister. My Han Dynasty treated him well. In the past, he offered sacrifices, and the court gave him ten times generous rewards every time. He also included Shanshan Kingdom under the protection of the Han Dynasty without being bullied by the Gentiles. Why is this man so heartless?"

Chihe immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, Panren is a person who is heartless and ungrateful. The lower officials are loyal to the Han Dynasty. If the general thinks that the lower officials are of use, please allow the lower officials to follow the general and hold the horse and whip, and to serve the work of the dog and horse! From now on, the lower officials will only follow the general's orders!"

Liu Cheng now understood that Chihe's confession was to frame Shanshan King Panren and wanted to replace him! However, Panren is indeed hateful. Before the court had any changes, Panren was always honest, but when civil strife in the Central Plains fell into weakness, this guy began to be ready and had a strange intention!

This matter is exactly what I want! Liu Cheng decided to use the trick and said to Chihe: "Chihe, I will not listen to you in one's own words. Do you dare to confront Panren?"

Chihe immediately thrust his neck: "Of course, he dared, this matter was instructed by him. Many things against the Chief of the Western Regions were instructed by him. Even if he did not admit it, he could not deny it!"

Liu Cheng stared at Chihe and kept sneering in his heart. He pointed at Chihe and said, "Okay, the Western Tour Army will set off to set off south soon to Yixun City. Then you can go with me!"

After taking a meal, he quickly agreed: "Sir, obey the order!"

Liu Cheng turned around and said to Ba Can, "Ba Can, from now on, you will take over the government affairs of the Ni City for the time being! This general heard that the people of Wei Li, the military camp lieutenant, are often treated unfairly, and this kind of thing is not once or twice. How do you think this matter should be handled?"

Ba Can immediately said, "Don't worry, General. After taking over government affairs, the subordinate immediately sent someone to investigate to see who dared to be disrespectful to the Han army brothers. When it was found out, the subordinate will definitely deal with it with the heavy responsibility and will never tolerate it!"

Liu Cheng nodded with satisfaction: "That's good!"

At this time, an official in the lobby stood up and shouted: "General, the official believes that it is inappropriate for the general to ask Bacan to be responsible for the government affairs of Guannicheng. The general is a general of the Han Dynasty, but not a general of our Shanshan Kingdom. It is in name only and does not conform to the rules to appoint officials and personnel in Guannicheng!"

When Liu Cheng heard this, he suddenly turned around to face the man, with a fierce look on his face and shouted: "Come on, drag this man out and chop him!"

The two immediately rushed up and held the official and dragged it out, but the man shouted, "Let me go, let me go, when will the generals of the Han Dynasty appoint and remove the officials of our Shanshan Kingdom? General, your move will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the countries, and you will suffer the consequences......"
