After Chen Yunfu figured out the identity of Master Hu, he finally understood why everyone was so frightened. Not to mention them, even Chen Yunfu himself was trembling after he figured it out.

No one knows the name of Master Hu. He joined the Ministry of Justice at a very young age.

And his major is absolutely terrifying.

Lingchi!

Yes, Master Hu is currently the chief executioner of the Ming Dynasty.

Represents the ceiling of the Ming Dynasty's punishment field, similar to senior technicians.

Ling Chi's difficult punishment is not something that ordinary people can learn if they want to. According to martial arts novels, this craft is passed down from male to female, and from within to outside.

This skill is not easy to learn, and this position is not easy for him to do.

What kind of person would be appointed Lingchi by the emperor?

Conspiracy is a heinous crime?

No matter what crime he committed, one thing is certain, the person who was punished by Ling Chi must be a bastard who could make the emperor so angry that he would carry him on his back.

The emperor must hate the prisoner so much that he would issue an edict to Ling Chi.

In this way, the position of executioner is not easy to fill.

The emperor ordered five thousand swords. If the executioner killed the prisoner with three thousand swords, the executioner would be beheaded in anger by the emperor.

Therefore, even though the chief criminal officer of the Ministry of Punishment has nothing to do every day, does not have to work, and receives a salary from the court every month (equivalent to a special national allowance), but when he really comes to work, he can easily endanger his life if he is not careful.

Of course, Master Hu is not idle all year round. Occasionally, he will teach some punishment methods in the Ministry of Punishment, and he will also delve into other simple punishments himself.

For example, beheading, skinning, cramping, etc.

As for gouging out eyes, pulling out tongues, disemboweling and so on, they are all at your fingertips.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as it involves torture of the human body, Master Hu is a mobile encyclopedia.

Now Weng Junbo's refusal to cooperate has pushed Shao Zhi to the edge of the cliff, and he has no choice.

Since torture is useless, let Weng Junbo experience the unbearable pain of life!

The reason why Ru Taisu and Yu Wenxin disagreed was because it was easy to torture Weng Junbo to death. Once Weng Junbo died, the case would become a dead end case. In Zhu Yuanzhang's anger, the three of them

It's also a dead end.

"To advance is to die, to retreat is to die, there is no choice!"

Shao Zhi's eyes were red, he stared into Weng Junbo's eyes, and said word by word: "I will give you one last chance, whether you want to recruit me or not. If you don't say anything, I will make your life worse than death."

Weng Junbo's lips began to tremble crazily, and then he became hysterical and crazy: "When I die, you all must die and be buried with me, hahahaha, come on! Come on!"

All went crazy.

Shao Zhi's eyes turned red and he was about to give the order. Chen Yunfu quickly pulled Shao Zhi out of the cell and urged: "Uncle, you can still do things, you can still do things."

How could he let Shao Zhi's temper play like this? He really played Weng Junbo to death. Chen Yunfu was afraid that he would also be implicated, so he tried hard to persuade him.

"The reason why Weng Junbo is not recruited is obviously because of the concerns of his family. As long as we can find his family, are we still afraid that Weng Junbo will not be recruited?"

Find Weng Junbo’s family?

Shao Zhi suddenly sneered: "If I could find it, I would have found it long ago."

"We can do this." Chen Yunfu leaned into Shao Zhi's ear and whispered for a while, which stunned Shao Zhi.

"feasible?"

"Oh, now it's time to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. If we can't find this, then we will tell Weng Junbo that his family has been assassinated long ago."

Shao Zhi thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll go to the palace to see the saint and report this matter."

Chen Yunfu bowed: "Uncle, let's go."

"If this matter is done well, my dear nephew, you will be a great benefactor to my family."

Chen Yunfu denounced what he said.

To your daughter, we are also the same family.

How about going to see Shao Ning again?

Just as he was thinking about it, Ru Taisu and Yu Wenxin walked out from behind him. Chen Yunfu cupped his hands at Ru Taisu and said, "Ru Yushi, if nothing happens, I will resign first?"

"Go ahead."

Ru Taisu was busy communicating with Yu Wenxin, so he naturally ignored Chen Yunfu and waved.

After Chen Yunfu left, Yu Wenxin sighed and said to Ru Taisu: "Such a big thing happened in Zhejiang this time. I am worried that even if the case is solved, the two of us will have to suffer."

Two of them, one is the Supervisory Censor of Zhejiang Province, and the other is a former Zhejiang Left Participant in politics, but they both serve in Zhejiang.

And they all know Weng Junbo.

"I'm not afraid of whether I eat or not." Ru Taisu shook his head: "I can see the ups and downs in this life. At worst, I just don't work as an official.

It's just that I'm worried that this case will bring disaster to Zhongliang.

If someone in the Ministry of Hubu really colluded with the local people in Zhejiang to embezzle the national treasury, then I am afraid that this person in the Ministry of Hubu is not only having trouble with Zhejiang, but also with Fujian, Sichuan, Huguang, and Jiangxi?

If the corruption of the central government leads the local government to take action, then there must be a bigger black hand behind the household department, and the case will be even bigger and more terrifying."

Yu Wenxin took a breath, looked around and whispered: "You mean, this case may become the second Huaixi case?"

"More than 10,000 people have been implicated in the Hu Ni case. A group of founding fathers in Huaixi almost died from exhaustion. This Weng Junbo case seems to be just a small case in isolation, but what will happen after digging deeper? Who will

I can still say it accurately.”

Ru Taisu sighed quietly, full of sorrow: "The country no longer has talented people, and the imperial examination has not been reopened. The people long for governance, and the country longs for virtuous people. We can no longer kill in vain."

Both of them felt very heavy and said nothing more when they left together.

Shao Zhi on the other side had already arrived at the palace and met Zhu Yuanzhang after a long wait.

The latter knew that Shao Zhi was going to interrogate Weng Junbo today, so he got straight to the point when they met: "How was the trial?"

How could Shao Zhi dare to hide it, so he told the truth: "I am incompetent, and I still couldn't pry Weng Junbo's mouth open."

After saying that, he put his head on the ground and waited for Zhu Yuanzhang to get angry.

The clinker Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have known about it for a long time, and there was no anger in his tone.

"Since it didn't work out, then do what you should do."

Shao Zhi's forehead was suddenly soaked with sweat.

What is the right thing to do?

Commit suicide!

Shao Zhi gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Although I failed to pry open Weng Junbo's mouth, Chen Yunfu came up with an idea that we might try."

At this moment, Shao Zhi did not care about the court etiquette and spoke out Chen Yunfu's thoughts loudly.

"Chen Yunfu proposed that he would issue an imperial edict to Zhejiang, saying that Weng Junbo had committed a heinous crime of embezzling stolen food and property. It has already been too late to punish the three tribes. Anyone who dares to harbor his family members will also be guilty of the Yi tribe!"

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and spoke after a long time.

"Smart, but smart, ha."

After the voice fell, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and left, leaving only one sentence.

"Let Song Ne draw up the decree."

Behind him, Shao Zhi shouted.
