The water and fire sticks fell down one after another.

Captain Huang also changed from a muddy groan to a pool of mud, lying softly on the ground, his buttocks and thighs were covered in blood.

Li Xiuran looked at him lightly: "Have you thought it through? Are you negligent or are you deliberately covering up Changlefang?"

Captain Huang seemed to have not heard it, and lay on the ground and kept silent.

"It seems that just punching the board is not enough, so let's continue to torture." Liang Qiuhe said coldly: "Put all the torture instruments in the government office, and use them one by one until he says it."

A trace of fear flashed in Captain Huang's eyes.

Li Xiuran said: "As the headmaster, you should know what torture instruments are there, and you should have seen them all. Whether you can withstand it? You have to consider it clearly.

In addition, I would like to remind you again. I will also have some torture methods, and no one can resist it yet.

Are you talking now or you can’t stand it anymore and be punished for nothing before you talk about it, you have to think it through.”

Huang's head struggled, and he knew the torture instruments of the government office very clearly. Few people could withstand these torture criminals on weekdays, not to mention Li Xiuran. Every case can be quickly solved. There must be the contribution of the torture methods he mentioned. Although he does not know what it is, from the fact that he can pry open the criminal's mouth and help him solve the case, these methods must be stronger than the torture instruments in the yamen.

He may not be able to withstand the torture instruments in the government office. If Li Xiuran's methods are added...

Captain Huang's heart trembled and he decisively admitted his timidity: "I, I said, "Mr. Peng instructed me to do this."

It's true that you have a problem!

Li Xiuran was excited and became a captain. He knew very well that once a case broke out in the yamen, the constable would basically be solved. No matter who was covering up Changlefang in Jingzhao Mansion, he had to instruct the captain Huang to do it. He would definitely be inseparable from this case.

Before he came, he had discussed with Liang Qiuhe, starting with Captain Huang and looking for a breakthrough. Now he was indeed right.

Peng Ce was the one who sheltered Changlefang, which was also expected by him, but...

Why did he cover up Changlefang?

Could it be that he is the backer behind Wangyou Pavilion?

Or did he take cover with the instructions of others?

Yang Wenxin, Chi Qingwan, and Xiang Kun also lit up their eyes and were instantly excited.

Liang Qiuhe was a little happy and felt completely at ease. He knew that the position of Jingzhao Prefecture Prefecture, which he had temporarily handled, was basically stable.

Xu Changqing, Guo Zhan and others had different expressions, some were shocked, some were solemn, and some were silently expressed to Peng Ce. The eyes that looked at Liang Qiuhe were also respectful again.

Li Xiuran asked, "How did he instruct you?"

"Mr. Peng gave Beijie no need to focus on pursuing these missing cases, but also taking into account other matters in the yamen. Although he didn't say it clearly, Beijie heard the meaning of shelter in his words, so he did not take care of the case carefully.

I am just doing my job on orders, not trying to deliberately cover up Changlefang. Please give me a clear look.”

Captain Huang finished speaking weakly and began to beg for him again.

Li Xiuran frowned slightly and did not say it explicitly. In other words, these were all the speculations of Captain Huang. Even if he confessed, Peng Ce could deny it. He said that Captain Huang would have misunderstood and did not want to cover up Changlefang.

What an old fox...

However, it is not completely useless. The testimony of Captain Huang can at least prove that Peng Ce is suspicious. Even if he denies, he can report to the emperor, so as to eliminate Peng Ce's fame and question it strictly.

As long as the punishment can be carried out, it doesn't matter whether he denies it or not.

"Write everything he said and let him sign and write." Li Xiuran looked at a side guard.

"yes."

The latter bowed to take the order.

"Go and get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Liang Qiuhe ordered people to bring the paper and pen and hand it over to the Panwei.

The latter wrote the confession and asked Captain Huang to sign and write the stamp.

"Thank you, Lord Liang for your assistance. I just took office. Lord Liang still has a lot of things to deal with, so I won't disturb you. If this person is involved in the case, the Lord Liang will take him away." Li Xiuran bowed to Liang Qiuhe.

"You have to be polite, you have to be a polite person. Shidu Li has to investigate the case, so I won't keep you." Liang Qiuhe smiled slightly and sent him out.

"Take him back to Sili and take him into custody for the time being." After walking out of the prefect's gate, Li Xiuran looked at Xiang Kun's command and ordered.

Everyone bowed their orders and turned around and left with Captain Huang.

Li Xiuran looked at Yang Wenxin and the other two again: "Mr. Xiang, boss, Qingwan, you can go to Zhaozhu with me to go to Zhaozhu again."

Chi Qingwan said hatefully: "With Captain Huang's confession, I see what else to say to Peng Ce this time."

Xiang Kun and Yang Wenxin nodded in agreement, and the four of them headed straight to the prison.

I just arrived in the morning, and the prison guards still remembered that after explaining their purpose, they directly sent them to the imperial prison and met Peng Ce who was sitting at the table reading.

Hearing footsteps from outside, Peng Ce looked up and saw that it was Li Xiuran and others, his face quickly sank: "I have to say it a few more times. I am completely unaware of the Changlefang case."

"It's a pity that Captain Huang didn't say that."

Li Xiuran looked at him and said straight to the point: "He has confessed, saying that it was under your instruction that he did not investigate the case thoroughly and deliberately covered up Changlefang. This is his confession. What does Lord Peng want to say about this?"

Li Xiuran took out the confession signed by the yellow captain and placed it in front of Peng Ce.

Peng Ce's eyelids twitched, and then he returned to nature. He looked at the confession and sneered: "It's nonsense! I just told him not to delay other affairs in the government office because of investigating the case. When did he say that he would cover up Changlefang?

Could he have misunderstood his intentions, and he could blame him on me?"

I guess you would say this... Li Xiuran sneered: "Mr. Peng has been working in Jingzhao Mansion for many years, right? I won't say it sooner or later, why did I just go and mention it when the missing case was reported to the government office?

Mr. Peng doesn’t think this is a coincidence?

With His Majesty’s wiseness, do you think you will believe these words?”

Li Xiuran looked at Peng Ce with a dark face and continued: "The incident in the Changlefang case was revealed. Your Majesty's attitude, Lord Peng must know that thousands of people were robbed and sold in front of Your Majesty. Your Majesty was furious and ordered his officials to thoroughly investigate the case.

Once the backer behind Changlefang is found out, with His Majesty's anger, Lord Peng should be able to think of what consequences he will end up with.

At the least, it is possible to execute the house at the worst.

Even if Lord Peng doesn’t think about himself, he should think about his family. If the backer behind Changlefang is Lord Peng, now I will explain it as soon as possible. In view of Lord Peng’s hard work for many years, Your Majesty may be able to open up and become lenient.

He will not involve his family, and even Lord Peng may be able to escape death.

If Lord Peng hadn't been covering up Changlefang, you had just received the request from others, but would have killed your family because of this. Does Lord Peng think this is a good deal?

Lord Peng is a smart person, I believe you will make the right choice.
