It took some effort to get Li Xiaoyi to confess, as Wu Ge used both mental and physical torture.
Li Xiaoyi was tied to a wooden stake, his head hanging weakly.
"Mr. Li, it doesn't matter if you don't say it. Let's try this big one, this is called a mouse digging a hole. Mouse digging holes naturally has its own name, look at this." Wu Ge pointed to a mouse cage next to him, and the mouse inside was squeaking.
Li Xiaoyi felt his hair stand on end: "You, what do you want to do?"
Wu Ge looked at the cage and said, "Rats have very hard teeth. Put them in this cage, leave one exit, and heat the cage with charcoal. What do you think the rats will do?"
Although Li Xiaoyi didn't quite understand what it meant, he knew it was definitely not a good thing. So he was trembling with fear: "Wu, Lord Wu, General Wu. Please spare me, please, spare me."
Wu Ge sneered cruelly: "When the mouse sees how hot the cage is, it's going to run out. Coincidentally, there's an exit here. The mouse will definitely try its best to get out."
Li Xiaoyi wanted to ask: What will happen if I drill to the exit? But he was too scared to speak.
Wu Ge asked for him: "If something blocked this exit, what would you do if you were these rats?"
Wu Ge curled his lips and answered himself: "Of course I will bite it open and tear it into pieces regardless of the consequences."
As he spoke, Wu Ge opened the exit of the mouse cage and pointed it at Li Xiaoyi's stomach.
"Ah~" Li Xiaoyi was so scared that his whole body was shaking and his muscles were twitching.
Wu Ge leaned forward and gnashed his teeth: "This rat will bite through your skin and get into your body. It will drill and drill, and drill desperately!"
"Ah~!" Li Xiaoyi was so frightened that tears streamed down his face. "Don't, don't, don't bite me! Wuuwuwu... I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
Wu Ge put away the mouse cage with satisfaction. Li Xiaoyi cried and shouted. His psychological defenses had completely collapsed.
There was already a penman taking notes. Li Xiaoyi was taken down from the wooden stake and sat on the bench opposite the table like a limp noodle.
"Mr. Li, tell me. Did Deng Gui collude with the Jin thieves and tell Wanyan Zongmou about Yao Pingzhong's night attack on the Jin camp?" Wu Ge sat opposite him.
Li Xiaoyi was trembling all over and remained silent.
"Speak!" Wu Ge slammed the table, scaring Li Xiaoyi so much that he trembled. He was now like a frightened bird.
Wu Ge slowly stood up and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. But I might as well tell you that ever since you entered this prison, Lord Li Bangyan has been overjoyed. He even held a grand banquet at home to celebrate."
Obviously Li Xiaoyi didn't believe this. How could a father not worry about his son?
Wu Ge walked up to him and patted his shoulder: "You don't believe it, right? I don't believe it either. But this really happened to him. Come on, bring the steward of the Li Mansion up here!"
Two jailers outside brought in a short old man. He was fat, with big ears, and his neck was almost invisible. This man was Zhuo Qi, the housekeeper of Prime Minister Li's residence.
When Li Xiao saw Zhuo Qi, he was like a drowning man finding a straw: "Butler, save me. Tell my father to come and save me quickly."
Zhuo Qi was timid and timid, with none of his former arrogance and prestige: "Master, Master, Master..."
Li Xiaoyi glared: "What happened to my dad? Tell me!"
"Ever since you were arrested, the master has been drinking and having fun at home every day. He even said something about how his rebellious son had finally been brought to justice, and he was very happy."
"You're talking nonsense!" Li Xiaoyi understood: "Are you being instigated by Wu Ge to spread nonsense here to alienate us father and son?"
The housekeeper hurriedly shook his head: "No, that's not the case, young master. The master, he, he knew about your affair with Madam Nine."
"What!" Li Xiaoyi was shocked and stood up. The two jailers next to him immediately pressed him down on the stool.
Li Bangyan's Ninth Wife was young and beautiful, two years younger than Li Xiaoyi. Li Xiaoyi had been coveting the Ninth Wife's beauty for a long time, and there was nothing this little beast couldn't do.
The Ninth Lady was afraid that she would be left without support after Li Bangyan died, and Li Xiaoyi happened to be there. After some sweet talk from the boy, the two of them immediately became an adulterer.
There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. Once, Li Xiaoyi and Madam Jiu were having an affair in the woodshed when they were caught by the housekeeper Zhuo Qi. The two of them gave the housekeeper some benefits, but Li Bangyan was unaware of it.
Li Bangyan was imprisoned in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Wu Ge could not touch him. However, Wu Ge invited the housekeeper, servants, and even the cook who bought groceries to the prison.
You don't even have to interrogate these servants; they will immediately tell you everything they know.
So Wu Ge took advantage of the situation and gave some instructions to the housekeeper, asking him to come in and perform the play.
Li Xiaoyi sat down dejectedly, his head hanging low. "I'll tell you everything."
Wu Ge waved the butler away and sat down beside him. He knew that Li Xiaoyi had completely collapsed. So they didn't continue the interrogation. He waited for Li Xiaoyi to speak.
"Deng Gui is a retainer of Lord Li Rui. Li Rui brought him to see my father and told us to inform the Jin people about Yao Pingzhong's raid on the camp. My father disagreed and scolded them. But Li Rui also said that the emperor now favors Li Gang and those pro-war factions. If Yao Pingzhong succeeds in the night attack, all of us will be disliked by the emperor. We will have no place to stand in the court in the future, and we may even be demoted to other places." Li Xiaoyi coughed when he said this.
"Give him a bowl of water." Wu Ge ordered the jailer next to him, and the jailer hurriedly poured a bowl of water and handed it to Li Xiaoyi.
Li Xiaoyi picked up the bowl and drank it all. The long-term torture had already made him a little dehydrated, so the jailer poured him another bowl.
