Jinyiwei is divided into the North and South Town Fusi. The North Town Fusi specializes in prison edicts and has the power to arrest, interrogate, execute and execute on its own without going through the general judicial institutions. Among the violent organs of the Ming Dynasty, it far exceeds the three divisions.

Early the next morning, Murong Tiezhu personally sent Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing to prison.

Beizhen Fusi Dougong cornices, surrounded by black walls, black bricks and black tiles, are all one-story buildings, with a sinister atmosphere everywhere. At the gate, two black stone beasts, one on the left and one on the right, squatted at the door.

, it is said that this mythical beast can distinguish between loyalty and evil, good and evil.

The prison was extremely quiet, unlike the Six Gates or the Shuntian Mansion Prison, where people were everywhere shouting about injustice. Those who could enter this prison were important officials of the imperial court, and their life and death were decided by the emperor. It was useless to cry out about injustice.

A middle-aged guard with a round face and a bright smile came up to him, "Boss, we have a new customer."

Murong Tiezhu said: "These two are friends of Mr. Xue. They will stay here for a few days temporarily. You guys will take good care of them."

The middle-aged fat man said: "Don't worry, we will serve you well. There has been no new business recently. The brothers have been idle and have concocted a few new methods. Finally, we are here to practice."

Murong's face darkened, "My lord, I have an order. If the two of them are missing half of their hair, I will ask you a question."

The middle-aged fat man chuckled and said, "Don't worry, our hands and feet will be clean and neat, and we will never let outsiders see it."

"Fat Liu, you have been in prison for a long time. Your psychology is distorted. Why can't you understand what I say? The two of them are here to avoid trouble temporarily. You have to serve them with good food and drink!"

Fatty Liu was stunned when he heard this. He avoided trouble, ran to the imperial prison, and was served good food and drinks. Did my ears mishear, or was there something wrong with the brain of the deputy commander of Beizhen Fusi?

"We Jinyiwei have always tortured people. We are not good at serving people!"

"Stop talking nonsense and learn what you don't understand!"

After saying that, Murong Tiezhu walked away, leaving only three people at the scene looking at each other. Zhao Xing looked at the middle-aged man, "Could it be that you are Liu Yishou, the first person in the Ming Dynasty's criminal trial in Fusi Baihu, Beizhen?"

Liu Yishou chuckled, "No prizes, no prizes, it's just that the brothers concentrated on studying academics and had a small achievement. I don't dare to be the first person, I don't dare to be the first!"

He spoke softly and was very polite.

Even though Zhao Xing had a high level of concentration, he couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart when he heard this name. Liu Yishou was a name that almost everyone in the capital knew. He was proficient in torture and had studied the torture techniques of various dynasties since the Qin and Han dynasties.

, it is said that there are endless ways to torture people, and no one who has been tortured under him can survive for a day.

Fan Xiaodao asked, "Is Liu Yishou very famous?"

"Not only are they famous, the jailers of our six sects are all younger brothers in front of them." I was lucky. Fortunately, Murong Tiezhu explained in advance that if some tricks were really used on them, the two of them would be in trouble.

And left.

Liu Yishou said: "Before Master Murong leaves, please ask me to take care of you two. Our prison conditions are average, so you two can only make do with it. If there is any negligence, I hope you will forgive me."

He led the two people into a cell with two stone beds, which were clean and tidy, and placed them there. After a while, Liu Yishou personally brought two quilts, "This is new cotton.

It will be more comfortable if you cover it.”

Zhao Xingdao: "Liu Baihu is very polite. These two quilts are quite new now, so don't bother me."

Liu Yishou said: "New is new, but these two are murder quilts. I'm afraid that if you two sleep one night, you won't be able to see the sun tomorrow."

Fan Xiaodao asked curiously: "The murderer?"

Liu Yishou smiled and said: "Yes, this quilt looks ordinary to you, but in fact it has a secret secret."

Fan Xiaodao stepped forward to investigate and found that the quilt was extremely heavy, weighing nearly seventy or eighty kilograms.

Liu Yishou said, "The cotton wool of this quilt has been soaked in mercury. When the prisoner sleeps, it is only a little heavy. Once he is asleep, he only needs to lower the head of the bed and the mercury will press on the chest, weighing dozens of kilograms.

Even if he wakes up, he will not be able to resist, and will be suffocated to death, and no matter how clever he is, he will not be able to detect any clues."

The two of them were secretly amazed.

There are thousands of ways to kill people. I never thought that even a quilt could kill people. As a torture officer, what about the hot iron, steel whip, and the top ten tortures? Such torture methods are too low-level. How to use an ordinary thing?

Only when something becomes an invisible means of killing people can it be called art.

"I don't know what the relationship between you two is. Who did you provoke in the capital? Even Mr. Xue didn't dare to provoke you, so you were sent here to take refuge?"

The two briefly talked about Xia Yuhe's case, and Liu Yishou said, "It turns out it's related to Princess Taiping. No wonder."

"How come, does Princess Taiping have great power in the court?"

Liu Yishou chuckled, "This is not a matter for people to discuss. You two haven't eaten yet. I'm going to prepare some food and drinks. The weather is getting colder, so I need to drink a few drinks."

In the cell, the hot pot was steaming hot.

Liu Yiyi found a stove for burning a soldering iron, and used several tools used in torture to prepare some meat and vegetables, and then built a temporary hot pot. The three of them ate hot pot in the prison.

It's just that Fan and Zhao were afraid of another killing technique, so they didn't dare to move the chopsticks. Liu Yishou said, "I won't have any other skills in the next life. I will only be proficient in two things, one is torture, and the other is delicious food. Eat delicious food."

Interrogating prisoners is one of life's great pleasures."

The two of them looked at each other, thinking of the bloody interrogation room and the delicacies, and those who could afford it were probably psychopaths.

Although Liu Yishou is well-known, he looks harmless and is polite and courteous in his words and deeds. It is difficult to connect him with the first person to be tortured to extract confessions.

After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere gradually became lively, and before long, the three of them began to treat each other like brothers.

Fan Xiaodao said: "Brother Liu, I'm confused about something. I see that my brother works slowly and has a good temper. I'm afraid it's different from the rumors outside."

Liu Yishou asked with a smile, "Why, the interrogation must be so vicious?"

"At least it can scare people?"

Liu Yishou said: "I have been in prison for more than 20 years. From relatives of the emperor to traffickers and lackeys, I have dealt with not only 10,000 but also 8,000. As time has passed, my mentality has become calmer. It is just an interrogation, no matter how vicious it is."

, it doesn’t matter if you have a nice smile, what you want is the result, and the means are just a supplement. No matter whether you are a high-ranking official or a first-class official, after you come in and use the means, you are no different from ordinary people, so I also summed up a

The lesson is to keep a normal mind."

"Normal mind?"

"Exactly. Today I am a high-ranking person, but tomorrow I will be a prisoner of the subordinates. I am used to seeing the ups and downs, and the ups and downs of the officialdom, so I am naturally numb to these things. Now, brother, I have an errand. Although it is not very honorable, I do it every month.

I’m very satisfied that I can still sit here and eat hot pot with my two brothers after the money is in my pocket.”

Zhao Xing looked at the various torture instruments he had never seen before and couldn't help but sigh: "My brother's mentality is really stable."

Liu Yishou smiled and said: "It has not always been like this. Back then, from pepper water, tiger benches, to peeling skins and filling them with grass to light sky lanterns, these methods were also used, but to force a confession, to get the result, what method to use, you have to think about the person's

psychology."

Fan Xiaodao asked: "Isn't there a lot of enemies and wrongful convictions?"

Liu Yishou smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This is a prison, not your six gates. You are here to investigate theft and investigate cases and serve the people. We are the yamen serving politics. For hundreds of years, the power officials in the DPRK and China have been fighting, not

The east wind prevails over the west wind, that is, the west wind overpowers the east wind. Where are the unjust, false and wrong cases? How many officials are clean? The only thing to blame is that we stood in the wrong team, followed the wrong person, and said the wrong thing. What should we do?

Something was wrong."

What he said was clear and what he saw was clear.

Unexpectedly, there could be such a sensible person in the intimidating prison, which directly overturned Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing's impression of the prison.

Fan Xiaodao picked up the wine glass and said, "Listening to you is better than ten years of drinking urine! Brother, here's a toast to you!"

Liu Yishou was already a little drunk. It seemed that he hadn't communicated with anyone for a long time. As soon as he opened his chat box, he started talking nonstop, "I have interrogated so many people over the years, and most of them can't stand the process. However, there are two exceptions."

.”

When the two of them heard this, they immediately became interested.

"The first one is Yang Datou. Back then he risked his life to remonstrate and was thrown into prison. He received a hundred sticks. At that time, someone gave him snake gall, but he stopped him and said that he had

gall, why borrow snake gall? Later, his legs rotted and maggots grew on his legs. Once I was asked by him to add lamp oil, and I saw him digging out carrion with broken bowl pieces, as if nothing was wrong, and then scraped it off.

The fascia on the bones makes my legs feel cold. Back then, Mr. Guan was scraping bones to heal his wounds, drinking and playing chess. This was the person I admired first."

Back then, the Yang Jisheng case caused a stir in the capital. Even Fan Xiaodao, who lived in a corner, had heard about it. Now, listening to Liu Yishou's personal experience, it sounds even more shocking.

Zhao Xing asked again: "What about the second person?"

Liu Yishou said: "Of course it is the former six-door boss Song Jingang who arrested him."
