At this time, Chen Shiqing admired himself very much. Such things can be cracked by himself. It seems that no matter who meets him, he will sincerely call him "Sir," he is here. What's wrong with you?"
"Haha, it's just a small matter. I've been trained these days. Just fighting is not enough. So I need to practice a lot. Lord Zhao, I have to thank you. Many places are your tips to make me understand a lot of things. Otherwise, I might not know anything now." Chen Shiqing said with a smile.
"What will the lord plan to deal with this matter? Since you can't kill it, you can't let it go. If you let it go, you will let the tiger go back to the mountain, and we can't find a suitable reason to let it go!" Zhao Bingde asked.
Chen Shiqing thought about it and asked, "Where are these people now?"
Zhao Bingde said, "Everyone is in the prison of our yamen. These people are lucky. The prisons in Xinfucheng are also new. There is no rat or a single person. They are enjoying it. The place is big and clean. Haha, it is comfortable to sit in jail. If the old slaves on the street know, they will probably want to come to our place to go to jail. When they heard that it is so comfortable to go to jail, everyone will come."
"Okay, take me to see these people. After seeing them, I naturally know what to do." Chen Shiqing said with a smile. Now it seems that he can use these people to make a big move.
For convenience, the prisons in Xinfucheng were set up by the highest level, which was different from the general prisons in Fucheng. You should know that since ancient cities were generally small in size, they did not have the ability to set up prisons separately, and they were all set up with the yamen. Only the prisoners of the Ministry of Justice and the Heavenly Prison in the capital were set up by the highest level, because there were many prisoners in the capital.
Chen Shiqing was stunned when he saw this scene, he couldn't do it, right? I live in the yamen and the officials live in the yamen. Everyone has to work in the yamen, count goods, handle official duties, and handle official duties. In this way, he actually has to live with the criminals. Is this comfortable?
Just imagine, I live with the criminals, and their prison is in the yamen, next to my magistrate's house. What's going on? Am I going to jail with them, or are they serving as officials with me? Can I sleep at night? If a few prisoners escape from prison, the first one is to attack me first? That's better. The criminals escaped from prison and burned the yamen first and killed the officials. I guess this will be passed on for a hundred years, right?
For the sake of your own feelings and for everyone's feelings, Chen Shiqing decisively adopted a separation system and set up a prison outside the city. It's better not to put such things in the city, it's bad luck!
"Sir!" Several officers at the prison gate were chatting about the mountains. After seeing Chen Shiqing and Zhao Bingde's convoy, they hurriedly lined up to greet him and saluted and bowed.
"Well, go and take us to see the chaos party. Have you tied up?" Zhao Bingde asked.
"Ask the adults, these people are very dishonest and have unclean mouths, so we have been taught a lesson and they are all handcuffed and shackled. Don't worry, sir, they can't escape!" The yamen runner said with a smile.
"Did you lynch them?" Chen Shiqing asked.
When he heard the words of the yamen runners, his first reaction was that they dared to lynch the prisoners openly, which was terrible. You know, they said this in front of Chen Shiqing, which shows that they did not regard this matter as a shameful thing at all. It seems that this is a common thing, too terrible.
"Hehe, sir, these people are not honest, and they can't do it without teaching a lesson! They have arrived in our place, and they are still shouting to fight against the court. Isn't this seeking death? In our place, if we can tolerate them yelling casually, wouldn't that be too shameless?" the servant said with a giggle.
"Forget it, I won't care about this matter with you. Take us to see them quickly." Chen Shiqing waved his hand and said impatiently. This matter involves civilized background, so I won't care more about it.
"Sir, isn't it a trial?" The officer looked at Chen Shiqing in surprise and asked.
Chen Shiqing looked at the officer for no clarity and asked, "Is there any difference between going to see directly and interrogating?"
Zhao Bingde smiled and said, "The difference is still very big. If you go directly to see them, you will enter the cell. If you are interrogating them, you will be interrogating them in the interrogation office. The biggest difference is that the interrogation office has criminal instruments to facilitate interrogation. If you go directly to the cell, it will be dark and damp and uncomfortable."
Chen Shiqing nodded and said, "Then go to the interrogation office, otherwise these people would think we are afraid of them."
"Haha, OK, sir, let's go!" Zhao Bingde said with a happier smile.
The interrogation office was also newly built, but the torture instruments were all available and brought directly from the old mansion city. It can be said that it has a complete range of categories and a long history. Chen Shiqing looked at the torture instruments in the room, haha, this good guy is indeed different, there are everything, iron, bamboo, and everything, but it is really not blown out.
"What is this thing?" Chen Shiqing asked, pointing to a strange-looking torture instrument.
"Oh, this is called heartache. It is used to insert fingernails and toenails. If you insert it, it will be a heartache. If you don't worry about their mouths being hard, inserting a few will definitely cost their lives!" Zhao Bingde said with a sinister smile.
Chen Shiqing was so terrified that Zhao Bingde seemed to have done this many things, but it was consistent with common sense. Zhao Bingde was the governor! In this era, there were not so many offices and departments, and many things were carried out by the top leaders. Except for the people in the salt administration directly responsible for their own business, at any other period, whether it is taxation, agriculture, public security, household registration, finance, taxation, personnel, etc., they were all done by the governor and the prefecture, and it was very hard.
So the work of interrogating prisoners is also what the magistrate needs to do. As a magistrate who has been a magistrate for many years, Zhao Bingde of course has also interrogated many prisoners, and he has used torture instruments many times because of this.
"What about this thing, like a small scissor, what is it for?" Chen Shiqing pointed at a torture instrument curiously and asked. This thing looks very strange, and I have never seen it before.
"This thing, hahahaha, is used to break the tendons of the hand and foot. It is also a vicious thing! Once you pick it, it makes people become a beat. It's too cruel and your hands and feet are useless. Is this person still a human?" Zhao Bingde said with emotion.
It seems that even Zhao Bingde thinks this thing is too cruel. He says that he is leaving a thread in everything. If you ruin his hands and feet, then will he still survive? If you do this, it would be better to kill him directly, so that he can save people from suffering and suffering in the world.
"Oh, I understand this, this is the legendary wooden donkey riding? Oh, this thing is so popular. If a woman is tortured by her, tsk, that's really..." Chen Shiqing suddenly blushed after saying that, why did I say such a thing so happily? When I saw me like this, I thought I was a villain.
"Haha, I didn't expect that the adults have quite an understanding of torture instruments. Yes, this thing is riding a wooden donkey, specifically used to punish female criminals. However, there are no women in this rebellion, and all four of them are men. If you do something later, you can just hit the board and stomp. These torture instruments are too cruel. If it is not necessary, we usually rarely use them. So, you might as well put them aside first." Zhao Bingde said with a smile.
Chen Shiqing was stunned at first, then hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "No, no, no, I don't mean that. I don't plan to use these torture instruments on them, nor do I plan to use these things often in the future. I just asked curiously. Torture is too anti-human, and there is no need to exist. Kill people just by placing the head on the ground. If you want to kill, kill them. Don't do anything to torture others. You save too much evil and finally retribution will come to your own head."
Zhao Bingde nodded and deeply agreed with Chen Shiqing's words. It is better to be kind-hearted and not be a bad person.
This interrogation office not only has many torture instruments, but also has statues of Judge Cui and Zhong Kui Tianshi, as well as many statues that look more scary and mighty. Needless to say, these things are used to shock criminals. For ordinary people, these things are really scary and look creepy.
"Sir, bring the prisoner here!" said the officer.
"Well, bring it in!" Chen Shiqing sat on the judge's chair and said with a smile.
This is the first time I am a big judge, and I feel different. I am not used to it. I will try these people later. Are I a more promising judge?
"Hmph, don't push me, I will leave myself!" a young tall young man shouted in anger.
Chen Shiqing couldn't help but laugh, "Boy, you are quite a bit of a kind. You have reached this point and you have come here. You still dare to be strong and those who bow your head who don't understand will suffer losses and suffer."
"I'll tell you to shout, I'll tell you to shout! Can you still shout!"
As expected, the officer quickly beat the young man to know what it means to be polite and follow the rules.
"You, if you can't beat me to death, I won't bow my head!" The young man shouted in discontently.
"Oh, you guys, you are a slut, you dare to play here. Let's see how I kill you today, lord!" The officer was angry. He had never seen such an arrogant criminal. Do you think you are a criminal or I am a criminal?
"Slow down! I still have to interrogate the trial, so don't bother with you." Chen Shiqing shouted with a smile, stopping the criminal and the servant from continuing to make trouble. If you have anything to do, I will talk about it after I have finished interrogating the trial.
"Yes, sir! You guy, you are lucky!" The officer kicked the young man in the lap and forced him to kneel in front of Chen Shiqing.
"Dog official! You don't need to cry here, the cat is pretending to be merciful, just say, what do you want? I'm at this point, I'm not afraid of you threatening me, I'll kill you and cut you into pieces!" The young man roared with his head raised and angrily, trying hard to stand up, but he was pressed by the officer tightly on his shoulders.
Chen Shiqing looked at this young man with interest. It seemed that this person with anti-Qing heart was indeed a passionate young man. It seemed that he was really not afraid of death. However, he just didn't know whether he was really not afraid of death or whether his passionate blood surged for a while, which still needed further verification.
"Bold! You are a rioter. You dare to act wildly when you are here. I see that you will not cry until you see the coffin. Come on, you will beat the thirty boards first and kill the mighty one!" Zhao Bingde yelled angrily.
"Let's wait!" Chen Shiqing waved his hand to stop the prison guard's actions.
Just kidding you, you're going to kill the Thirty-Top Board, you'll be killed. After reading too much of the Water Margin, do you think that even a person can kill the powerful stick? Thirty-Top Board, you can't kill you, and it will also make you paralyzed for life. Chen Shiqing still needs to use these people. Why are they so anxious to kill others? If they are unreasonable thugs, they will be killed. If they are open-minded and benevolent and ambitious people who are against the Qing Dynasty for national rejuvenation, they can be absorbed and tolerated and treated differently.
"What's wrong with the dog official, why don't you dare to beat me? Haha, I'll tell you the dog official, I won't accept your affection. A real man is powerful and can't be rich or lustful. Don't play this trick with me. I'm not going to be soft and hard. If you want to say a few soft words to me, I'll be obedient. You're dreaming." The young man said disdainfully. Although Chen Shiqing's actions moved him, he still shook his head disdainfully.
Chen Shiqing smiled coldly, walked to the opposite side of the young man, and said with a smile: "I still need to do this trick with you? I will kill people without blinking. How can I talk about these things with you? There are hundreds of people who die under my master? What's the difficulty of killing you? Isn't it just a riot? If you kill you, you will kill you. I still need to talk about you here? Do you really think you are qualified to let me bribe you? Don't dream."
"Just brag, you look like you are just a teenager. Have you killed hundreds of people? Don't brag, you, you officials are from scholars. Just this is the skill, brag!" the young man said disdainfully.
Chen Shiqing was amused by him and asked with a smile: "Why do I look like a person who likes to brag? I am really not the scholar you mentioned in your mouth. I have today's official position by killing people and saving heads. It is made by one sword and one arrow, and it is shot by one arrow. How can you be as relaxed as you think?"
"Open your dog's eyes and see clearly. This is our prefect! The prefect is in Myanmar and Nepal, and kills more people than you have ever seen. What do you think you are? In front of the adults, there is a place where you are cruel? Joke, if you are like this, you can't walk back and forth in front of the adults!" Zhao Bingde yelled.
"What? Are you Chen Shiqing?" the young man asked in surprise.
"Oh, hehe, listening to your tone, it seems that I am still a celebrity. Is Chen Shiqing very famous? Or are you all thinking about assassinating me?" Chen Shiqing said with a hint.
"Of course not, Lord Chen, can you borrow something to say?" the young man asked with a strange expression.
"Sir, be careful of these rioters who are scheming. They must have other intentions. Don't pay attention to them. Is there any room for them to bargain here?" Zhao Bingde reminded.
Chen Shiqing is not the young man he used to be. He also knows very well that these people can only listen to half of what they say. If it were Chen Shiqing who just came to this era, he might really naively believe that the other party has any benefits to him, and was easily deceived. I am now experiencing time travel with my own body. This is not playing games or reading novels. There is no chance of regret. There is only one time, if you choose the wrong thing, everything will be done again, and life will end. Of course, this is not possible.
"Haha, it's interesting. I can only listen to what I can't say here? What do you have to say to me? It's okay to say something to me. If you still feel uneasy, you can write it down with a pen! Isn't this not wearing shackles for you? It's just that there are bracelets, which doesn't prevent you from writing things, right?" Chen Shiqing said with a smile.
"No! I'm going to talk to the adults alone. Sir, aren't you very powerful on the battlefield? Isn't your White Tiger Camp invincible and fearless? Why are you afraid of me, a person with handcuffs and shackles? Can't I beat you? Sir, I can make it clear if you have something to say. If you don't have the courage to talk to me alone, then I'll forget it, it doesn't matter. I'm just afraid that the person who loses is the adults."
"I have a big secret. I am willing to tell the adults, and I just want to tell the adults that they know, but I ask to talk to the adults alone. Please give me some face and make it convenient!" the young man said with a serious expression.
Chen Shiqing frowned. Did he really have any hidden feelings? If this is the case, wouldn’t I have missed an opportunity, but if I believe him easily, maybe my safety will be unsecured.
"How is Chen Shiqing, to be honest, I admire you very much! I admire your courage in Nepal and Myanmar. However, if you dare not, it means that you are just a fame and not brave enough. Or are you braver after your position and power have become less courageous? But don't let me down, Chen Shiqing, there is only one opportunity. Should you choose to challenge or give in? Chen Shiqing, don't let me down!" The young man said with a smile, as if Chen Shiqing was sure of being fooled.
"Okay, haha, there are no people in the prison now, there are empty rooms everywhere. You are the first group of people coming in after the completion of the new mansion city. It's not easy! Guest, Lord Zhao, arrange a house for me. I want to chat with this person alone to see what he has to show off in front of me!" Chen Shiqing said with a sneer.
"Sir, don't be fooled by this child. What secret can he have? Such a child is at most a minion. How can he have a big secret? Don't believe his words. If you beat him up, I won't believe him and don't say anything. If you don't say anything, there are many torture instruments here. Why should you take risks with your own life?" Zhao Bingde said anxiously.
This is too dangerous. Although Chen Shiqing is a master, he is just afraid that if he is not afraid of ten thousand. If Chen Shiqing makes any mistake, then the fatal person will be Zhao Bingde. It is not easy for Zhao Bingde to achieve this position. He also wants to retire gloriously, return home to have children, hold grandchildren, raise dogs, horses, buy houses and land, and live a prosperous life. If you are tossed at this time, you will really want to die.
The jailers were also looking at Chen Shiqing with a nervous expression. How cruel and ruthless the people of the rebels were, they didn't know that they knew. If Chen Shiqing made any mistakes at this time, it would have really killed them. Zhao Bingde might have been removed from office and investigated. They were afraid they would be jailed here. Everyone was jailers. If they were jailers, they didn't know what they would be tortured by those criminals to take revenge.
"It's okay, so what if I go and meet him? If my dignified Haizhou prefecture is such a timid and fearful person, how can our Haizhou Prefecture go further? Don't forget that our Haizhou Prefecture is a state prefecture that is brave and enterprising. The future path belongs to us. I don't believe that I can't deal with this little thing." Chen Shiqing said confidently. He has survived many difficult and difficult environments, and this difficulty will not make Chen Shiqing difficult.
"No, sir, no, we should make a long-term plan for this matter. Sir, please be cautious!" Zhao Bingde stopped in front of Chen Shiqing and said seriously.
"Mr. Zhao, I'm waiting for my official here. It's okay to have a problem. Come and take me and others to commit crimes!" Chen Shiqing roared.
Although the prison guards were afraid, Chen Shiqing's order had been issued, and they dared not violate it. They had to bite the bullet and take Chen Shiqing away. It was really unlucky. Why did they get into such a thing? There was no other way, so they had to hide by the door and eavesdrop. As long as there was a little danger, they would immediately rush in to rescue Chen Shiqing.
"Hey! Sir, be careful, be careful!" Zhao Bingde said helplessly. He knew that if Chen Shiqing knew something, he would not be able to stop him. Since that was the case, he had to repeatedly give instructing him.
Chen Shiqing smiled and said, "Don't worry too much. I, Chen Shiqing, have a great fortune and great fortune. I have experienced all the storms. This is nothing. Please rest assured. You guys, please treat Lord Zhao well, don't let Lord Zhao be scared. If you have good tea, hurry up and make a pot for Lord Zhao to suppress his shock!"
"Kongliang! I have the courage to be worthy of Lord Chen's name. Since that's the case, let's talk inside!" The young man said with a smile, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with the result.
Chen Shiqing nodded with a smile and signaled the prisoners to lead the way. Isn’t it just a young boy? He is obviously no match for me. What am I afraid of? Is there a bomb on him?
The newly built cell is really empty. If Chen Shiqing had not used it today, it would have been a waste. But it would be fine. Since it was the first time to use the cell, let Chen Shiqing come in person.
The difference between a single room in the prison and an ordinary room is that it is an iron door, not a wooden door. In fact, the iron door is not very important to prevent. Over time, the iron door will easily decay, and it is more likely to be knocked open than wood. However, the advantage is that it makes people more desperate and makes criminals dare not have inappropriate thoughts.
"Okay, there are only two of us here. Please say whatever you have. If you have any questions, please say it! If it helps us arrest the rioters, you will not only not be punished, but will instead be punished, and even make meritorious contributions. At that time, it will not be difficult to be an official for you. The opportunity is rare, you can think clearly about it yourself!" Chen Shiqing said.
"Plop!"
The young man knelt directly in front of Chen Shiqing and kowtowed to Chen Shiqing and admitted his mistake, "Mr. Chen, I have offended him in my words. I hope Lord Chen will forgive me!"
"What are you doing?" Chen Shiqing looked at the man with great caution and asked.
"Sir, Sima Jun is here, I beg you to let me go, I am grateful!" Sima Jun said.
"You are telling a joke! You are a rioter, I am the imperial official, it is natural for me to arrest you, why should I let you go?" Chen Shiqing asked with a smile.
"Sir, as long as you are willing to let Sima Jun go, the White Knife Association will be your friends in the future. No matter where you go, you can get help from the White Knife Association!" Sima Jun said hurriedly.
"What can you help me? If you are an ordinary gang like the Caobang Yan Gang, then it will be no big deal if you let you go. But you are a rebel and a person who wants to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Why do I want you to escape? Do I, a royal person, ask you to overthrow my royal family?" Chen Shiqing said.
To be continued...
