Chapter 224 Interrogation

Tiangang Hall is in charge of criminal law. If the Qingweizong is regarded as a small court, then Tiangang Hall represents the functions of the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and the Inspectorate. In addition to the three courts, it also has the functions of some of the Qingluan Guard General's Office, so it is in power and ranks in the top three churches.

The main hall of Tiangang Hall is not located on Penglai Island, but there is also a branch hall on Penglai Island. From the outside, it is an ordinary courtyard with a cave under the courtyard. Twenty feet below it, there is a dungeon that has been opened up.

Entering the back hall of the courtyard and opening the secret door, a downward portal was cracked on the ground. First, there was a winding passage, made of bluestone, such as the corridor of the tomb of the emperor, which was filled with various mechanisms and talismans to prevent anyone from entering this place by digging or escaping the ground. The passage continued to tilt downward, about seven or eight hundred feet away, and it had already left the area of ​​the courtyard, and I don’t know where it led.

After walking through three or four forks, I finally walked out of this passage. The lights suddenly became clear, as bright as daylight, there were more than a dozen large and small prison cells. In the middle of the prison cell was a spacious open space, which was used as a torture room, with a row of shelves and various torture instruments, which were the place where the prisoners were tried for the criminals.

The four stone walls on this place are covered with stone surfaces and the stone slabs on the top are paved with granite. Because the sunlight is not seen in the deep underground for many years, even if it is dry, it is often wet, not to mention Penglai Island on the sea. People are locked inside, and they will not be punished. Over time, they will inevitably be weak and plagued by all kinds of diseases.

At this time, there was a Grand Master Chair in the torture room of the dungeon, and Lu Yanbing sat on it. At this time, she had taken off her outer robe, revealing her close inner robe and jade belt on her waist. The wrist guards on her sleeves were unbuttoned, and her sleeves were rolled up, revealing her two fair forearms, and a black whip was also held in her hand.

Lu Yanbing, the right governor of Qingluan Guard, was not in vain. She was well-known for many punishments. In a sense, she was not a good person, but she was just needed to treat traitors.

In addition to Lu Yanbing, there was another person with a grassland man. It was too late to follow Li Xuandu to Qingwei Sect. According to the rules, he could not appear here if he was an outsider, but as long as the hall master agreed, it would not be considered a violation of the rules.

The matter started with the last time Li Xuandu returned to Qingwei Sect. At that time, Li Xuandu had not been expelled from Qingwei Sect. Zhang Haishi wanted him to become the master of Tiangang Hall, so he advised Li Daoxu: "At the time when the old sect leader asked several junior brothers to take charge of one party and do his best to train. At that time, the third junior brother Li Yuanying successively served as the master of Tianwei Hall and the master of Tiangang Hall. Now the old sect leader retreated to Penglai Island, and the third junior brother inherited the throne of the sect leader. He is the legitimate sect leader and still personally takes charge of Tiangang Hall.

According to the thirty-eight sect rules that the old sect leader added when he retreated from the position of sect leader, the sect leader should no longer hold other positions. This unwritten rule that the sect leader personally took charge of Tiangang Hall would not apply. "Although Li Xuan did not become the master of Tiangang Hall as he wished, Li Daoxu still used Li Yuanying's affairs as his reason, and no longer allowed him to serve as the master of Tiangang Hall and promoted Lu Yanbing as the proxy sect leader. However, Lu Yanbing was in the imperial capital most of the time, so Tiangang Hall still obeyed Li Yuanying directly.

Now that Lu Yanbing has returned to the sect, no matter what, Tiangang Hall cannot violate her orders, because she represents the old sect leader. That is why Li Xuan handed over the interrogation of the prisoner to Lu Yanbing, and he was too late to appear here.

At this time, Li Jinfeng was tied to the torture rack. He had already been used by Lu Yanbing himself. He was covered in disheveled hair and covered in blood. He was extremely embarrassed and had no trace of the style of an elder. Lu Yanbing mastered the right measure of his ancestors, which allowed Li Jinfeng to suffer a lot of flesh and blood, but would not hurt his life.

Lu Yanbing shook the whip in his hand and said, "Li Fei Jinfeng, are you going to do it? If you don't, I will continue to do it."

After the words came, Yechi was already very interested in lifting a soldering iron that was burned red. This was not an ordinary soldering iron, but a special spiritual object. Even those with cultivation could be injured, and the pain was even worse. Yechi gently touched the soldering iron with his finger, and immediately a "hissing" sound came. Of course, Yechi's body was not a problem, but it made him feel the pain like a needle prick.

Seeing Yechi's movement, Li Jinfeng trembled all over and said, "Bingyan, Bingyan, for my age, please spare me."

Lu Yanbing shouted: "Li Feijinfeng, can you call Bingyan? I think you don't want to call him anymore, so okay, you should use torture."

After the words came, Yechi was already walking towards Li Jinfeng with a soldering iron, and then there was a "hissing" sound and Li Jinfeng's howling.

Lu Yanbing's eyes narrowed into a line. She knew very well that Li Jinfeng would never confess, because it was a serious crime to communicate with foreign enemies, which was equivalent to the rebellious sect, and he would almost die without a doubt. If he attacked, he would just die more decently, but if he killed him and refused to fight, he might be able to survive. After all, Li Yuanying was still outside, Gu Yusheng was still outside, and Li Ruxian and others were Li Yuanying's people.

Nowadays, it’s like both sides playing horse tags, and they’re already making a clear card for each other. No one is hiding in the dark, they’re all in the light.

Since Lu Yanbing chose to stand on Li Xuandu's side, she had to consider the issue from Li Xuandu's side. She pondered for a moment and ordered: "Invite those hall masters."

A disciple of Tiangang Hall responded. Not long after, the three hall masters were invited out of the cell. They did not bring torture instruments and did not act as punishment. After seeing Li Jinfeng who was being tortured, their faces changed.

Lu Yanbing threw the whip to the disciple of Tiangang Hall standing beside him, got up from the chair, put down his rolled-up sleeves, and tidied up his clothes, with a little more kindness on his face, "These are all masters and deputy masters, and they are considered to be of high authority, but they have committed such a crime, which is really regrettable. But it is thought that you are just accomplices, not masterminds, so you can make up for your merits."

When the four of them heard Lu Yanbing's words, they were all expressionless and unmoved.

Seeing this, Lu Yanbing nodded and said, "I know that you are all people with cultivation, and may not even be weaker than me, and they are even more determined people. Just punishment is not painful or itchy for you, and it is useless. I also know what you are thinking in your heart. It is nothing more than the word "backer". Looking at someone who can save you, now you suffer a little. As long as you survive this level, you will still be the master of the hall and the deputy master. Maybe you can use this matter to make friends with some big figures and go further. Qingwei Sect will still be your world."

Speaking of this, Lu Yanbing suddenly raised his voice and exploded like thunder, "But I tell you, the biggest backer of the Qingwei Sect is the old sect leader. The old sect leader has ordered a thorough investigation of this matter. Mr. Qingping must be given an explanation. Not only you, but also the traitors in the three halls, no one can escape, so no one can help you, let alone save you!"

Hearing this, the four people finally changed their faces, but no one spoke.

Lu Yanbing continued, "Back to the mountain stone, back to the mountain stone, can be used as a support in normal times. If the back to the mountain stone collapses, you will be the first to kill you. What are you still counting on here? It's ridiculous. You think about it with your mind, this matter has been banned from the old sect leader. Can your back to save you? If not, what will they do? The best way is to use you as a scapegoat, and the matter will be stopped by you. He can't stand up and take the blame for you, right? But you are still here.

I keep my mouth shut, who do you keep it for? If you die, everything is empty. If you become a scapegoat, you will never escape death. After death, the beautiful wife and family, the family business and children saved over the years, have become the treasures of others. If others sleep with your wife, spend your money and beat your son and daughter, will you lose? If you are just accomplices, the hall master and the deputy hall master will not be able to do it, but your life will be saved, and you will be left without worrying about burning firewood. Look at Mr. Qingping today, you are not afraid of not having a comeback."

After saying that, Lu Yanbing slowly sat back on the Grand Master's chair and gently stroked his hair on his temples, "I'll give you a stick of incense to consider. After one stick of incense, I'll ask you again, I hope you will reply truthfully."

The four people looked different on their faces, either hesitating or hesitating, and the heavens and man fought.

When Lu Yanbing finished speaking, a disciple from Tiangang Hall brought a small case and placed it in front of Lu Yanbing. A incense burner was placed above, and a stick of incense was burned.

The dungeon was quiet, only Li Jinfeng's screams were heard.

A stick of incense passed quickly, and Lu Yanbing looked at the four hall masters and said, "Ask you something, you will answer truthfully."

All four of them looked at Lu Yanbing.

Lu Yanbing asked, "I don't ask how Li Rufeng died, nor do I ask who tampered with his body. I just ask you who asked you to participate in this matter. Of course, you can answer that out of righteous indignation, I will report to the old sect leader truthfully."

The four of them all looked shaking. They were also considered old men of Qingwei Sect. Of course, they knew how deep the old sect leader was. If he wanted to use such a statement to excuse himself, he would undoubtedly slap his ancestors in the face and treat his ancestors as fools, but he would be more guilty.

Lu Yanbing knew that the temperature was almost done, so he raised his voice and said, "Is it your own thing to do today, or is it colluding with outsiders? Or is it on order? If you act on order, the sect rules contain clear words and those who act on orders are public crimes, and public crimes will not be investigated or reduced to the first level."

One of the hall masters lowered his head, "I am doing my order."

With the leader, the other three hall masters also lowered their heads, "We are also on orders."

Lu Yanbing asked, "Whose order has he been given? What is he doing? Why is the reason?"

The hall master who spoke first replied: "After the order of the third wife, we must cooperate with Li Jinfeng to help Mrs. Wen to seek justice, in order to deal with Mrs. Qingping, it is best to ruin his reputation or to make a gap between Miss Qin and Mr. Qingping."
