Night has already fallen, but at this time, the old mansion of the King of Han and even the entire capital are not dark; lights are on everywhere in the city.
The Han King's mansion in the capital is very deep, and the mansion is very quiet at this moment.
Gao Xianning sorted out his thoughts a little.
The young man who was tied up in front of him may have confessed his confession of name, fame, and other fame; otherwise he would not have to claim to be a juren when he lied.
In the eyes of officials in the capital, a juren is considered a bird and cannot scare people at all; on the contrary, it is very easy for a person with fame to verify his identity.
If Xiao Wen wanted to lie, why would he tell a lie that was easily verified?
Xiao Wencai said that the person he worshiped was his childhood friend.This sentence may be a lie!
Zhang Sheng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, founded his subordinates that the tomb was the tomb of Wang and there was no mistake!
So what Xiao Wencai means is that he worshipped the wrong grave?
If someone who even admits the wrong grave, why bother worshiping him? What's more, it's not the first time that Wang's tomb has been worshipped by others.
When Gao Xianning thought of this, he suddenly said angrily: You'd better come with the real trick!It fell into the hands of the Jinyiwei, and the quibbling and resistance had no effect.
Xiao Wencai said with a bitter face: There is no quibbling next.If the adults don’t believe it, you can check the list of Jiangxi Juren.
Gao Xianning heard that he only talked about fame and fortune, and immediately snorted coldly.
At this moment, Yao Fang frowned and said: When I look at this person, I always feel familiar... I must have seen him somewhere!
Xiao Wencai's face twitched slightly, and he immediately avoided his face slightly.
oh?Gao Xianning saw both of them in his eyes.There were a few lanterns in the wing room, and the light was very good; Gao Xianning could see clearly every move of the people present.
Yao Fang took a breath from the gap between her teeth and said: I have really seen this person!Just like me, I am very good at recognizing my face. As long as I have met you, I will have some impression.But I couldn't remember where I had seen him.
Gao Xianning pondered for a while.
At first, he always thought about people related to Ma Gong. At this time, he suddenly realized: Since everyone has made a breakthrough, it is on the tomb of Wang's family, he should try to start from Wang's family to check!
So, Gao Xianning suddenly realized a detail: Wang Gen, the father of Wang family, was also from Jiangxi!
Where are you from Jiangxi?Gao Xianning asked calmly.
Xiao Wencai was silent for a while and whispered: Ji'an Mansion.
Gao Xianning immediately asked again: Are you in Jishui County, Ji'an Prefecture?
When Xiao Wencai heard Gao Xianning say this place name directly (the hometown of Wang Gen, an official of the Hanlin Academy of Jianwen Dynasty), his face became very ugly, and he didn't put a word on it for a long time.
Gao Xianning asked coldly: Are you going to do it now?
Xiao Wencai's face turned red and white for a while, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Gao Xianning turned to Zhang Sheng and said: Stop using torture.Ask brothers to come in with the things and go through them first.
Xiao Wencai begged: Lord, I misunderstood!Here are people who have made great achievements and reputations, and you cannot abuse lynching like this!
Gao Xianning said: To be honest, I am the minister of Dali Temple and investigated the imperial case.Don’t mention you are a juren, even if you are a royal relative, you will still be punished when you reach this point!You have to think about it. If you don’t want to take action now, you will use torture for a while; if you want to take action at that time, you have to let the punishment pass from beginning to end. It’s too late to regret it!
After waiting for a while, Xiao Wen still said that he was wronged.
Gao Xianning then called Yao Fang and Du Erlang out together, and then asked the brothers from the Northern Secretariat of the Shouyu Mansion (the Jinyiwei is famous, and Gao Xianning has always said he was from the Jinyiwei) to go in and use torture.
A tragic roar and whimpering cry came from inside.
Gao Xianning and the other three, standing under the eaves, did not speak at this time.
Gao Xianning was thinking hard about the joints; and Yao Fang also lowered her head and looked like she was thinking hard, as if she was still recalling where she had seen Xiao Wencai.
Yao Fang seems to be a very persistent person.
After a long time, when the Beisi was punished, Gao Xianning returned to the house again.
Xiao Wencai was still crying in pain. His head was covered in water, unable to tell whether it was sweat, tears, or cold water that was poured.
It seems that he fainted just now, and the prisoner was not allowed to faint when he was tortured. He had to use cold water to wake up and continue to be tortured!
There was also a slum of water on the ground, and I don’t know what kind of water it was.
Gao Xianning walked up and pulled out the cloth from Xiao Wencai's mouth. He immediately started crying when he saw him and struggled on the chair for a while.
Gao Xianning glanced at the blood beads slowly dripping on the ground from Xiao Wencai's nails and said: It's just the lightest punishment. If you don't take it once, the torture will continue to aggravate.The torture of the Jinyiwei can make people unable to survive or die!How long can you bear as a scholar?And if we already know your name and origin, we can question people in your family.If you don’t ask, we can find out the truth!
Xiao Wencai was sucking air from his teeth, crying in pain.
Gao Xianning asked again: Is it a move?
After waiting for a while, Gao Xianning turned to Zhang Sheng and said: Commander Zhang...
I've made a move, I've made a move!Xiao Wencai suddenly cried.
Gao Xianning said: If you dare to say a lie, the torture just now will be repeated ten times!He said as he walked to the back of the table next to him and lifted the prepared brush from the inkstone.
Who is Ma Gong?Gao Xianning asked directly.
Xiao Wencai was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: I don’t know.I really don't know who the adults are talking about.
Gao Xianning paused slightly when he was writing, looked up at Xiao Wencai, and asked again: Who is the Wang family buried in the mass grave?
Xiao Wencai said: She and her childhood sweethearts have not passed by, but have been privately entrusted for life.
What?!Yao Fang's eyes immediately widened.
Gao Xianning turned his head and glared at Yao Fang, and asked Xiao Wencai: So, your Xiao family and Wang Gen family are not only fellow townsmen, but also almost become in-laws?Wang always has poison on his body, do you know?
Xiao Wencai nodded and said: Wang Xiu (Wang Gen) family and my Xiao family are friends.Wang Xiu died for Emperor Jianwen, but was later impeached by the censor Chen Ying. Ji Gang was ordered to confiscate the Wang family!Almost all the men and women of the Wang family were killed, and Wang Xiuchuang's daughter and Wang Madam were sent to the Jiaofangsi.At that time, our family was very scared and wanted to cut off all contacts with the Wang family.But……
But the uncle said that the court will find the head of the Xiao family sooner or later!At that time, the Jinyiwei was ordered to copy the old people of Jianwen Dynasty. The situation was very terrible!Therefore, my uncle told me to use my relationship with the Wang Madam and contact Wang Madam.Under the instruction of my uncle, I was also called Wang Madam and tried to get close to Yao Fang from the North Fushi Department of Jinyiwei...
Xiao Wencai said this and took a careful look at Yao Fang.Yao Fang's expression was very complicated. He was not angry at this time, but just stood there in a daze.
When Gao Xianning saw Xiao Wen closed his mouth, he asked: What should I do when I get close to Yao Fang?
Xiao Wencai said: Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyiwei at that time, was very favored; the Jinyiwei was responsible for the house search and murder.If we put someone next to Yao Fang, we will know early on whether the Jinyiwei will find out the head of the Xiao family and kill the Lian Xiao family.
Yao Fang is not only a member of the Jinyiwei, but also a person who was a confidant counselor of the Yàn Prince's Mansion, who must have known a lot of things!
My uncle told me these things.The uncle said that Yao Fang helped Li Jinglong open the door at Jinchuan Gate, which should be a spy from the Yàn Palace. Since then, the uncle has gone to investigate Yao Fang's whereabouts and discovered that Yao Fang has entered and exited Qingshou Temple.Therefore, we guess that Yao Fang from the Jinyiwei is also a member of Yao Guangxiao.
Gao Xianning asked: Who is your uncle?
Xiao Wencai said: His name is Xiao Jien...
Seeing that he wanted to speak but stopped, Gao Xianning said: Tell me more.You have confessed so many things, and now even if you hide something, we can find out, which is harmful or not to you!
Xiao Wencai was still silent.
Gao Xianning calmly waited, and he felt that Xiao Wencai would continue to talk.
The Han King's mansion in the capital is very deep, and the mansion is very quiet at this moment.
Gao Xianning sorted out his thoughts a little.

Gao Xianning calmly waited, and he felt that Xiao Wencai would continue to talk.
