Li Shui looked at Shi Wu and said calmly: "Master Shi Wu, have you given up? If so, I will take the head from your neck right now."

Shi Wu took a deep breath and said to Li Shui: "I haven't given up yet."

Li Shui said in surprise: "We have reached this point and you still don't admit defeat? You are really a hard-boiled duck with a tough mouth."

Chunyu Yue frowned and thought to himself: "Why does this guy Huai Guzi have so many wisecracks? How can he be so disrespectful in the court?"

Shi Wu said: "Without conclusive evidence, how can I admit defeat?"

At this time, the false messengers were brought in. They all received hundreds of sticks and were all covered with bruises.

Ying Zheng asked the young eunuch: "Have they confessed it?"

The young eunuch nodded and said, "I admit it. These people all admitted it. They were instructed by Shi Wu."

Li Shui looked at Shi Wu: "What did you say?"

Shi Wu said: "Submission and beating into a move cannot count."

Li Shui said with a smile: "So much evidence, doesn't it count? If you want more evidence, I have it too."

Later, Li Shui took out a lot of photos, which were clearly photos of Shi Wu talking with the envoy.

Some are in teahouses, some are in the Immortal Exile Tower, and some are in their own courtyards.

The photos in the courtyard were particularly blurry, and judging from the angle, they were taken by someone hiding on an airship.

When Shi Wu saw these photos, his blood ran cold.

He stared at Li Shui with his eyes widened: "How did you get these...these photos?"

Li Shui chuckled and said, "Master Shi Wu, I'm afraid you still don't know, but now there is a special profession in our Xianyang City, and the people in it call themselves dog bastards."

Shi Wu looked confused: "What?"

Li Shui said: "I skipped class as soon as I saw the adults' current affairs class."

"In the current affairs class, I have already mentioned that the puppies are a group of idle vagrants who specialize in spying on news and then selling the news to General Tabloid and other newspapers to make a profit."

"Because dogs have the sharpest noses, they call themselves dog puppies."

Shi Wu said: "This...how can Daqin allow such people to exist? Such people openly and secretly take photos of me. This does not mean, this does not mean..."

In this era, there was no concept of privacy, so Shi Wu was angry for a long time, but could not speak. He just vaguely felt that something was wrong with this matter.

Li Shui coughed dryly and said to Shi Wu: "Don't worry, sir, a puppy won't do this to ordinary people."

Shi Wu stared and thought to himself: I don't care if a dog does this to ordinary people. The key is... can he do this to me? What kind of truth is this?

Li Shui said with a smile: "As for all the adults in the court, you have no right to complain, because you have received the salary from the court."

"And these salaries are taxes paid by the people. As the saying goes, you eat and you pay, and the people fatten you."

"The people want to see what you have done, whether you have accepted bribes, and whether you have betrayed the country or committed rebellion."

Shi Wu: "..."

courtier:"……"

What is this? Are you keeping everyone under surveillance?

Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui and fell into deep thought.

At this time, Li Shui patted Shi Wu and said, "Aren't you still pleading guilty?"

Shi Wu gritted his teeth and said, "So what if these people are my people? Maybe they did not pretend to be envoys, but the county magistrate's people framed them."

"After they framed them, they framed me again to find an opportunity to knock me down."

Li Shui chuckled: "Master Shi Wu has such a good idea. Then why are you willing to plead guilty? Well, I'll let the villagers of Gumai Village come in and see if they can recognize these messengers."

Li Shui glanced at Ying Zheng, who nodded slightly.

Soon, some people were brought up.

These people are not villagers from Gumai Village, but prisoners who have just been brought from prison.

These prisoners knelt on the ground with nervous expressions on their faces, not knowing what fate awaited them.

Li Shui looked at the prisoners and nodded with satisfaction.

These people were all injured to varying degrees, their noses and faces were bruised and swollen from beatings, and their clothes were similar to the messengers, they were all prison uniforms.

Li Shui mixed them together, and then ordered people to bring the villagers from Gumai Village.

Li Shui said calmly: "Point it out and see which one is the messenger who took you away in the first place."

The villagers in Gumai Village took a cautious look.

In fact, they immediately discovered the messenger among the prisoners.

But the villagers dare not identify him. Who knows what tricks these big figures in the DPRK are playing?

If you don't pay attention and get burned, wouldn't that be the end of it?

Therefore, these villagers are very cautious.

Li Shui said calmly: "Don't you have a lot of grievances? Now that I have come to redress your grievances, you are unwilling to speak out your grievances? How can this be done?"

"With such courage, you still want to seek justice? With such courage, it is normal for someone to bully you."

Li Shui's words were actually addressed to Yangwei and others.

Sure enough, these people understood what Li Shui meant.

Yangwei stood up tremblingly and said, "I...I have something to say."

Li Shui nodded and looked at her with encouraging eyes.

Yangwei pointed at the envoys and said: "These people are the envoys who took us away in the first place."

At this time, Lao Niu also stood up: "Yes, it's the two of them."

Li Shui spread his hands to Shi Wu and said, "What else do you have to say now?"

Shi Wu wiped the cold sweat on his head and said: "This is nothing, maybe..."

Ying Zheng suddenly said coldly: "Isn't this nothing? When things have reached this point, are you still making excuses? Come here, pull this person down and punish him eight hundred times."

Shi Wu looked at Ying Zheng in horror. In his panic, he even shouted: "Eight hundred? This..."

Ying Zheng said: "Yes, it's eight hundred."

He looked at the young eunuch beside him and said, "This person is not allowed to die before eight hundred strokes are given."

The young eunuch was stunned for a moment and said, "What about after the beating?"

Ying Zheng said: "After the beating, he will not be allowed to live."

The young eunuch responded and hurried away.

…………

The executioner is playing poker.

These people are actually very leisurely and usually have nothing to do. Because they are the ones who make wooden boards, and the palace does not use the wooden boards very often.

When the emperor is angry, he usually kills people directly, and rarely makes a plan.

Although there are a few jobs today, they are not many, just a few in their 80s, and can be solved by just moving your hands.

While playing cards, a newcomer sighed and said, "My life is a bit boring."

The execution officer hummed and said calmly: "You know how boring it is, right? You haven't experienced anything before. If you had experienced it before, you would feel even more bored now."

The man asked curiously: "How do you say this?"

The executioner's eyes were somewhat profound. He looked into the distance and said, "At that time, there was a eunuch named Ji Ming in the palace. This man could be considered a talent."

The man looked at the executioner curiously: "How do you say that?"

The executioner said: "This man has to be beaten once a day. His skin and flesh are torn apart by the beatings, which is unspeakable pain."

"Look at us, we are so skillful in our techniques and our beating skills are so superb. We were all trained on Ji Ming."

The newcomer said: "But where is this eunuch named Ji Ming? Why didn't I see him?"

The executioner shouted, "This eunuch has been killed."

The newcomer said oh, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that he has been killed. Otherwise, he could be used to practice his skills."

The person next to me said: "Who says it's not the case?"

The executioner smiled and said: "To be honest, our superb skills are all fed by our butts. Otherwise, how could we beat someone eighty times and still not die?"

"When I have the opportunity in the future, if I let you play more often, you will naturally gain experience."

The new man thanked him gratefully.

At this time, a young eunuch led Shi Wu over.

Shi Wu was dejected and looked like he was half dead.

The executioner walked over and said to the young eunuch: "What? This person needs to be beaten?"
