Chapter 82 Chapter 82 Interrogation Methods
Fang Sheng felt bitter, but for his lord, he was willing to go through fire and water.
He quickly pretended to beg for mercy, "You, I'll give you all the money you want, but please don't harm my life. I have elderly parents and young children at home, and a three-year-old child waiting for me to come home..."
Before he could finish his rambling, Xu Chuo and Guo Zi, one with a foot and the other with a head, threw him onto the cart.
There was some hay on the cart, but it was also very hard.
Fang Sheng cried out in surprise. He felt like his bones were about to break. Couldn't these people be more gentle?
Fang Sheng didn't know where he was being taken. When the sack was opened, he saw a group of young boys and girls.
I’m old enough to be their father.
There was also a group of younger kids who were staring at him eagerly, as if they were looking at some rare animal.
Before he could react, a young boy came up and kicked his legs hard, forcing him to kneel down.
"Behave yourself!"
Then his hands and feet were tied up.
The children were taken out by the Five-Earth Guardians. After all, the following scenes were not suitable for children and were not conducive to their physical and mental health.
The children are not old enough to stop attending children's mental health classes.
Xiang Feifei was slightly excited. "Didn't Madam Zhu teach Master Nan many sinister methods in the past? Let's try them on this spy."
Guo Han looked disgusted. "Oh, forget it. He'll get so scared that he'll pee and poop all over himself, and the whole house will stink."
This house was specially approved by Lin Si for Wu Gengtian. It was located deep in a small alley. Several houses outside the alley were also bought by Lin Si at a price higher than the market price. One of them was given to Mo Jinglian's family. In short, all the people living here are his own people.
After five o'clock in the morning, Zhong Diyan led everyone to renovate the house. The so-called renovation not only included new furniture, but also a training ground and an interrogation room.
Fang Sheng is now in this interrogation room.
His expression froze instantly when he heard Xiang Feifei say that he was a spy.
Wasn't it a robbery? Did they know he was a spy?
But he had just entered the city and hadn't done anything.
Fang Sheng decided to deny it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am not a spy, I really am not. Please do not harm my life!" Fang Sheng began to use his lifelong acting skills again.
After all, he has thick skin and flesh, and even if he is beaten, he has the confidence that he can withstand it. What strength can these half-grown boys have?
The Princess of Anping really has no one to use.
Compared to the lord, it’s far worse!
Guo Zi looked at him coldly and snorted, "Keep pretending."
Xiang Feifei calculated the time and then looked at the sundial outside.
After Lin Si came to Lingzhou, he improved all the sundials to use the 24-hour system.
At first, many people were not used to it, but after a while, they felt that this time was more accurate.
"It should be almost ready."
Fang Sheng cried and gritted his teeth in his heart. No matter what kind of torture he was subjected to, he would not betray his lord, even if it meant losing his life.
"Did you catch the spy? Didn't you say you wanted to eat the fish and eggs I made? I've made it, come and have some!"
A young girl was holding a tray with several small bowls on it.
The girl's name is Wei Peng, and she is also a member of Wugengtian. However, Wei Peng doesn't have any other hobbies and just likes to tinker with food.
As for the taste, he once almost destroyed the entire Wugengtian by himself.
This fish stewed egg is even more classic. A whole fish caught from the river is not processed to remove the fishy smell, and the internal organs are not removed. It is perfectly inserted in the middle of the egg custard without adding any seasoning. The egg has the fishy smell, and the fish has the egg smell. It can be said that the two fish attract each other.
Xiang Feifei hurriedly took it over. "Wei Peng, you must be very tired after making so many fish stews. Go and have a rest first. Leave this to us."
Wei Peng nodded, but still instructed, "Okay, you must finish eating. Interrogating people is very tiring."
As soon as Wei Peng left, Xiang Feifei's expression changed immediately, and she immediately put the tray on the table.
Fang Sheng sneered in his heart with disdain. Even half-grown children need to eat to replenish their energy during an interrogation. Is the Princess of Anping just playing house?
Before he could finish mocking Fang Sheng in his heart, Guo Zi approached Fang Sheng with a small bowl.
Wei Peng was very thoughtful and put a spoon in each bowl.
Qi Liang and Guo Zi cooperated, one opened her mouth and the other stuffed it in.
The moment the fish stewed with eggs entered his mouth, Fang Sheng realized that he was wrong. How could there be such disgusting and unpalatable things in the world?
The fishy smell went straight to the top of my head, and it felt like there was a dead fish in my mouth that had been dead for ten days and exposed to the sun in the river for twenty days.
Fang Sheng vomited on the spot.
Xiang Feifei took two steps back and said, "Wei Peng is indeed very powerful."
Guo Han also retreated, "I unilaterally appoint Wei Peng as the number one deadly poison master in Xihe Road."
But Guo Zike didn't feel sorry for Fang Sheng. He stuffed spoonful after spoonful into his mouth. After finishing one bowl, he continued to eat the second bowl.
Anyway, Wei Peng did a lot.
Fang Sheng's heart was tense and his mind was in great pain. He never thought that there would be such a way of interrogating people. It would be better to beat him!
Who could possibly resist this? That young lady looked quite young, so how could she possibly be able to make such a deadly food?
When he was about to give up, Fang Sheng thought of Zhuo Zhengchu again. He seemed to suddenly gain unlimited motivation and felt that he could still continue to persevere.
Fang Sheng finished all the fish stew and had no other choice. His expression was like a mask of pain.
Guo Zi exclaimed, "He's actually quite tough."
Guo Han: "Then let's serve him a good dish tomorrow. Wei Peng has many other specialties."
Fang Sheng shuddered all over and started to shiver.
At night, Fang Sheng's mind and mouth were filled with the disgusting taste that could not be dispelled at all. He tossed and turned and could not fall asleep.
If there is something more terrifying tomorrow, will he be able to keep quiet after eating it?
The next day, they came with a main course. Fang Sheng couldn't even call it a dish. He seemed to see black steam coming out of it.
Guo Zi was not in a hurry to feed him, but played a psychological game with him first.
"We just want to know who sent you. If you tell us, we won't feed you this thing today. This is even more terrifying than yesterday's fish stew."
Fang Sheng shuddered and said nothing.
"You said we'd arrange a job for you, mining is such a good job, and we'd also provide you with three meals a day. Do you get three meals a day at your lord's place?"
Fang Sheng moved his lips but still said nothing.
Guo Zi didn't have the patience to talk nonsense with him anymore, "Okay, if you don't like soft words, try hard ones."
Fang Sheng was stuffed with a mouthful of the ultimate dark cuisine, and he felt like he was sublimated, and his mouth seemed to have turned into a swamp.
Qi Liang didn't allow him to spit it out and forced him to swallow it.
Something seemed to break through in his heart, and he suddenly didn't want to worry about whether his lord was right or not. He never wanted to eat such disgusting food again.
"I admit it, I admit it."
"That's all the information the spy said. He confessed everything, even to several people around Dong San on Tongchuan Road."
Lin Si looked at the interrogation report written by Guo Zi and sneered.
Dong San is Zhuo Zhengchu's pseudonym. He was indeed reborn and felt that something was wrong with Xihe Road.
I don’t know if he went to find Mo Jinglian and Yin Sheng. Thinking of his humiliated look, Lin Si wanted to laugh.
Lin Si put the report on the table and said, "Let this spy go to Li County to mine. He doesn't need to be paid."

Catching spies did not affect the daily lives of the people in Xihe Road.
The night school on Xihe Road had not yet opened, so the people envied the volunteers from Li County the most. However, those people went back after helping in Lingzhou.
As soon as the new notice was posted on the recruitment sign, a large group of people gathered around it, even though they didn't understand it.
But Liang Nian would arrange someone to read it for them.
There was already a subtle sense of comparison between the children of poor families and the children of merchants. Now that night school was not in session, these children had nothing to do, so besides reading newspapers, they would go to the notice board to look at it.
When I saw that textile workshops and paper workshops only recruited girls.
The businessman's son looked on with disdain and continued reading.
The young man from a poor family had a slight glint in his eyes.
The reason why the poor are called poor is naturally because their families are not rich.
The treatment in this textile workshop is very good, the wages are good, and lunch is provided. If he were not a man, he would have wanted to go there.
To use a popular phrase here, working and studying part-time is also very good.
Then I continued to read and finally saw a job posting for a man.
We are looking for people to drive ox carts at the job fair, and those with experience will be given priority.
Below is written the salary and working hours.
Someone nearby immediately reacted, "This is what the county lord always said: if you want to get rich, build roads first."
"I know this. They say that we are not expanding Lingzhou. Now that the state capital is big, it is inconvenient for people to walk everywhere. We need to use public ox carts."
"What is a public bullock cart?" someone asked curiously.
"They're setting up stops. Even if you ride from beginning to end, it's free this year. They say it's a reward for everyone's hard work building the road. They'll charge next year, one penny per ride. It's all in the newspapers."
"My dear, we are illiterate, how can we understand the newspaper?"
"I was wondering why there were wooden signs in many places. It turns out it's because of this public ox cart."
"The volunteer who led me to build the road also said that they would add long-distance ox carts in the future, such as the one from Lingzhou to Li County."
“This is really convenient.”
The people of Xihe Road had never seen such a benevolent ruler, and they were all grateful.
After several months of recuperation, the first batch of potatoes and sweet potatoes planted on Xihe Road have been harvested. The people are not well-off at the moment, so they probably won't spend a penny on a bus and will walk wherever they go.
After the merchant's son explained the situation to the people, he and the son of a poor family looked at each other coldly, and turned away tacitly.
On the day when the public ox cart was running, the poor boy got up early in order to experience it, and planned to wait at the nearest station to his home. He thought he had gotten up early enough, but he found that the entrance of the station was already full of people, including many old men and women.
The children from poor families squeezed and pushed but couldn't get to the front row. They watched an ox cart coming by but couldn't squeeze in.
The man driving the oxcart waved his hand and said, "No more passengers, this one is full. Please wait for the next one."
After waiting and waiting, it was finally my turn.
As soon as he got on the car, he saw that the son of a businessman whom he didn't like very much was also sitting on the car. It would have been fine if he was just sitting on the car, but the servant serving him was also taking up a seat.
The young man from a poor family sat down and complained in his heart: These merchants have no shortage of ox carts, why do they have to come here and squeeze for a seat?
The oxcart was moving very smoothly. The servant fanned the merchant's son and said as he did so, "The state government has issued a new rule that all oxcarts and horse carriages not used by the state government must be registered. I'm sorry for the inconvenience I've put you through during this period."
The merchants were relaxed and contented, saying, "It's okay, it's fun to experience this so-called public transportation occasionally."
The poor boy couldn't help but mutter to himself, "The newspapers have said that only by going to the grassroots can we understand what the people want. Occasionally experiencing it is just pretense!"
The atmosphere between the two was tense. Several people arrived at the station and the passengers on the bus changed several times, but the two still showed contempt for each other and completely ignored what the driver said.
"We've arrived at the Night School stop. We've arrived at the Night School stop. Anyone getting off?"
It was a girl who came up from behind who reminded them, "I think the two gentlemen should get off the bus. We have reached our stop."
The two of them came back to their senses, "Thank you, girl."
Yan Xuanqing said kindly, "We are all enrolled in night school, so we will all be classmates from now on."
Under Yan Xuanqing's friendly attitude, the three introduced themselves to each other.
The three of them got out of the car and walked forward. They saw that the house had indeed been renovated and a plaque had been hung up. It was almost time for the school to officially open.
Yan Xuanqing was from a branch of the Yan family. Based on the principle of not putting all eggs in one basket, and knowing that girls from the county lord's family could also become officials, she sent her and another cousin here. The cousin was young and could go to school, but she was over the age limit and could only attend night school.
Ding Shui, a merchant's son, fanned himself. "The newspaper says that classmates should get along harmoniously. I'm friendly, of course, but some people always speak in sarcastic and aggressive ways."
Li Wenxue, a young man from a poor family, snorted coldly, "I didn't mean to do that, it's just that some people always show off."
Ding Shui, a merchant after all, knew that making enemies was no good. He folded his fan and said, "It's fate that the three of us are gathered here today. I, Ding Shui, would like to invite you to dinner. I hope you will do me the honor of discussing the unknowns of Xihe Road and the future of the Central Plains."
Li Wenxue didn't want to go at first, but he agreed because Ding Shui kept asking him to go, and he was really short of money.
The three of them sat down and saw that there was already a table next to them, with three men and women who looked like Hu people. They spoke Chinese very fluently and it seemed that they had lived in Xihe Road for a long time.
Xu Yan hurriedly picked up some food for Xu Bei, "Mother, please eat more."
Xu Bei sighed, "You left, and Shitou and Shijin next door also left. I really can't get used to it. I remember you were still in school back then, and now Madam Luo's son is old enough to go to school."
Xu Tai continued, "Yes, I heard from Madam Luo that it's hot this year, so we're going to have a summer vacation, and we're going to select people to come to Lingzhou to be teachers and teach those night school students."
"Those children are so young, and they are going to be teachers."
Xu Yan smiled and said, "It's just a one-month summer teaching. If you really want to be a teacher, you have to take the exam after graduation."
"We were also taught by people in the academy. You know what, these young men and women are all very serious and teach very seriously."
The three people standing by were shocked: the one teaching us was actually a child!
