Chapter 176: Perseverance and Unyielding Master Zhao

Zhao Gao was in pain. His body was in burning pain. He had been whipped many times since he came in.

The executioner couldn't bear it. While soaking the whip in the salt water, he said sincerely: "Master Zhao, just do it. You also know that you won't be able to resist if you get in here."

Zhao Gao clenched his teeth and said nothing.

The pawn sighed and said, "The villain has no choice but to be offended."

He took the whip out of the salt water, flicked it, and then hit Zhao Gao on the back with a crack.

Zhao Gao screamed and felt that his body was about to be split in half.

However, before he could take a breath, the second whip came again. With a snap, Zhao Gao's scream that had just stopped sounded loudly again.

When the pawn sympathizes with Zhao Gao, it is true. But when it comes to fighting people, he is also extremely dedicated.

He has a bit of an occupational disease and likes to hear people scream. He especially likes to use different force when hitting people to control the volume and length of the other person's screams. Occasionally he meets someone who is in tune, and the two parties can even collaborate to create a melody.

After beating for a while, the soldier felt a little tired, so he soaked the whip in salt water while panting, and said to Zhao Gao: "Master Zhao, let's take a rest and talk about it later."

Zhao Gao was so groggy that he couldn't even speak.

At this time, a person came into the house.

The man said softly: "Brother Zhao?"

Zhao Gao opened his eyes slightly and recognized this person as Wang Wan.

Wang Wan said politely: "Brother Zhao, it is His Majesty's intention to torture you. I hope Brother Zhao will not take offense."

Zhao Gao said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of being loyal to the emperor. If Zhao can go out someday, and Brother Wang happens to fall on Zhao, Zhao will treat you well."

Wang Wan sneered in his heart, but he still had a look of concern on his face: "Brother Zhao, you are no longer in your twenties or thirties. If you continue to fight, you will probably die. In this life, there will be no glory or wealth.

Have you seen it before? Why bother with this torture again? Come on, you can't handle this style of play."

Zhao Gao did not speak, but slowly shook his head.

Wang Wan sighed, turned and left.

He said to the executioner: "Tonight, we must find out the result. Your Majesty has ordered me to enter the palace tomorrow, and I cannot go empty-handed."

The pawn agreed and said, "Don't worry, sir, I'll leave everything to the villain."

When Zhao Gao heard this conversation, he suddenly felt happy: "I want to see you tomorrow? That's great. As long as I wait until tomorrow, I can go out."

Zhao Gao knew Ying Zheng too well. The emperor's nature was like a fiery fire and he was decisive in killing. But as long as he was allowed to calm down, he would still miss his old feelings.

After Zhao Gao came in, he was beaten for so long, and he kept clenching his teeth and saying nothing, just because he knew this. He was waiting for Ying Zheng to calm down, and after he calmed down, he could let himself out.

After listening to Wang Wan's words just now, Zhao Gao already felt confident. As long as he persisted until dawn and Wang Wan entered the palace to meet the Holy Spirit, everything would turn around.

"As long as your Majesty knows that I was whipped all night without confessing, you will definitely reinstate me. By then, I will pay back whoever harmed me today."

Just as Zhao Gao was thinking of this, the executioner came in again.

He looked at Zhao Gao with an apologetic look and said, "Master Zhao, I'm really sorry. The Prime Minister has strict orders, and I don't dare to show favoritism anymore."

Zhao Gao cursed loudly: "Selfish? What a bullshit selfishness. You hit me so hard just now and you say you're showing favoritism? Don't you know that the whip hurts more when it's dipped in salt water?"

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and then explained aggrievedly: "Mr. Zhao doesn't know something. The villain has often whipped prisoners over the years. After some of them were beaten, their wounds became pus-filled and they died soon. Later, the villain discovered that after being beaten,

After adding salt water, it will not rot."

Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment and thought: "Salt water still has this effect? ​​If I submit it to the patent office, I wonder if I can apply for a patent."

Zhao Gao didn't know why he had such an idea at such a critical moment. He might have been in pain and confused.

Unfortunately, before he could figure it out, the pawn's whip came again.

This time, the pawn no longer thought about the rhythm or listened to the rhythm. Zhao Gao's screams never stopped from the first sound, and in the end, his voice became hoarse.

The soldier was panting from exhaustion, sweating profusely, and finally his arms were so sore that he had to stop.

He asked: "Master Zhao, are you willing to recruit?"

Zhao Gao shook his head slowly.

To be honest, he really wanted to do it. But his reason made him grit his teeth and not let go.

We just held on until dawn, there were only a few hours left. This belief supported Zhao Gao without saying a word.

The pawn was a little puzzled: "Is it because the pawn is not strong enough? Mr. Zhao is really tough. If it had been someone else, he would have been recruited by now."

Zhao Gao chuckled and said feebly: "When I was stabbed, the pain was much worse than this. Since I survived, I am not afraid of pain, I am only afraid of death."

The soldier said with admiration: "No wonder Mr. Zhao can be ranked as the official of Zhongche Mansion. He is indeed very powerful."

After admiring him, the pawn began another round of whipping like a storm.

Wang Wan heard yawning again and again outside. Even he admired Zhao Gao a little: Could it be that he was really wronged?

But Heitan next door had been beaten to a pulp, his whole body had a mental breakdown, and he kept crying and saying that Zhao Gao was his accomplice. It didn't look like he was just pretending.

"These things these days are really evil. The two people's confessions don't match up, so it's hard to communicate." Wang Wan shook her head.

At this time, someone came in and said, "Sir, I have sent a message from the banished immortal."

Wang Wan said absently: "Huaiguzi? What did he say?"

The man said: "The Exalted Immortal said that Zhao Gao has been arrested, so beware of his comrades jumping over the wall in a hurry."

Wang Wan laughed: "That's ridiculous. Is there anyone who dares to come here?"

This is a special courtyard, specially set up for the torture of important officials in the court. If you don't have enough title, you are not even qualified to enter here.

Back then, Shang Yang, Lao Ai and Lu Buwei all lingered here and left their mark.

This place is heavily guarded, no different from a military camp. Even if Zhao Gao really has accomplices, even if these accomplices really want to rebel, they probably wouldn't have the guts to storm here. Isn't this looking for death?

Wang Wan sent the man away casually, and then went to see Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao was already unconscious, but still did not confess.

Wang Wan said helplessly: "Mr. Zhao, it's already late at night. I'm old and my health is not as good as before. I don't get enough sleep and I feel flustered and short of breath. How about you just take pity on me and admit your guilt?"

Zhao Gao smiled weakly: "Zhao is not guilty, how can he confess?"

Wang Wan said: "Your Majesty thinks you are guilty, so you are guilty. What's more, Heitan was beaten to death and his mind was blurred, but he still found you guilty. How can you ignore it?"

Zhao Gao sneered: "No need to explain. I will definitely go out after a while."

Wang Wan was a little puzzled: "So confident?"

At this time, the rooster outside crowed several times. After hearing the rooster's crow, Zhao Gao became even more energetic and said to Wang Wan, "Do you believe it? I can definitely go out."

Wang Wan was wondering when someone suddenly ran in and said hurriedly: "Sir, it's not good. A group of people came in. They quietly bypassed the guards. It wasn't until they got close to here that they suddenly attacked, and the soldiers outside rescued them.

Not as good as these. The swords in the hands of these villains are extremely sharp, and they are all brave and fearless of death. Moreover, the blades of the swords are coated with poison, and those who are killed will die immediately."

Wang Wan was shocked and asked, "What do these people want?"

The man said: "They are clearly coming this way. My guess... My guess is that I am afraid that I will be banished to an immortal. Unfortunately, I am right."

Wang Wan took a deep look at Zhao Gao and said, "No wonder Mr. Zhao is so determined to get out. I really admire him."

At this time, the shouts of killing were approaching, and the man urged Wang Wan and said, "Sir, let's go quickly."

Wang Wan ordered the pawn responsible for the execution: "Remove Zhao Gao and hide him elsewhere."

Afterwards, Wang Wan left in a hurry. The soldiers wanted to untie Zhao Gao, but unfortunately they used a dead knot when they tied him up.

The soldier's tired fingers were sore, but he still couldn't untie the rope. When he turned around to find the knife, he heard that the door had been kicked open.

The soldier shivered in fear. Did the other party have a poisonous knife that could seal his throat with blood? Thinking of this, the soldier ignored Zhao Gao and ran away through the window.

Zhao Gao was a little confused and still didn't understand what happened.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a group of masked men rushing out with shining swords.

After seeing Zhao Gao, those who saw him saluted and said, "Greetings to the master of the family."

Then, two people came forward, cut the rope, and let Zhao Gao down.

Someone carried Zhao Gao on his back and hurried outside.

The more Zhao Gao thought about it, the more something was wrong, and he asked sharply: "Who are you?"

The person carrying him said: "We are the family master's disciples. In the past, we were favored by the family master, and we all swore to repay it with death. Today we finally have a chance."

While he was talking, a hail of arrows came over, knocking down five or six of the dead soldiers.

Wang Wan's men had already reacted and used their long bows and powerful crossbows to surround the courtyard with water.

The dead man rushed several times without success, so he had to escape into a room.

The dead man asked Zhao Gao: "Sir, where is the confession? Burn it quickly to save the Zhao family."

Zhao Gao said: "What confession? I never confessed."

The dead man was stunned.

Zhao Gao asked sharply: "Who asked you to come?"

The dead man said: "He is your lord's brother."

"Zhao Cheng?" Zhao Gao spat out a mouthful of blood and shouted sternly: "Idiot, idiot. Huai Guzi should have killed him in the past."

Wang Wan was wearing armor and was protected by more than a dozen shield soldiers, three layers inside and three outside.

He looked at the dead soldiers huddled in the house from a distance, and sighed in his heart: "I really can't understand what's going on in Xianyang City these days. Why do each one of them seem to be under witchcraft?"

At the same time, the dead soldiers took out the suicide note drafted by Zhao Cheng and said to Zhao Gao with some embarrassment: "Sir, put the overall situation first and the Zhao family first."
