Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 245 Chen Ce's special interrogation method

Chen Ce put his hands behind his back and took Li Zhen to the firewood room in the inner factory.

There was no imperial prison in Neichang, so the Miao woman was temporarily detained in the firewood room of Neichang.

"Sir, she is very stubborn." Li Zhen reminded Chen Ce. Apparently, Li Zhen had tried to interrogate her once before, but to no avail.

Li Zhen is very careful in his work. He doesn't need Chen Ce to ask for many things. He will do everything that can be done for Chen Ce in advance, but this time it was indeed a bit tricky.

Before entering the Neichang, he was a member of the Jinyiwei, so he naturally had the means of interrogation, but even though he was a member of the Jinyiwei, he was unable to pry open the other party's mouth, which showed that the other party was determined to die.

Although Chen Ce seems to have no weaknesses, it would be difficult for an opponent to attack him, not to mention that Chen Ce has already taken life and death lightly.

But Li Zhen knew that Chen Ce actually had weaknesses. One was the friendship with Crown Prince Zhu Houzhao, and the other was the love with Lady Wu. These were both Chen Ce's weak spots.

After hearing what Li Zhen said, Chen Ce nodded and said, "Yes, I know. I'll go and try it."

The door of the woodshed was opened and the cold wind blew in.

A dying woman was tied to a wooden stake. When she saw Chen Ce, her eyelids slightly opened, as if she was suddenly filled with strength. She became extremely excited and manic, and even the hemp rope that bound her seemed to be about to break free.

Chen Ce glanced at her indifferently and said, "Let's talk about killing me later. I know you were ordered by Jiao Huangzhong. This is our grudge."

"It's understandable that you want to kill me. I understand that you are taking money from others to help them get rid of disasters."

The Miao woman was stunned for a moment. She really didn't expect Chen Ce to speak like this.

Chen Ce said: "This matter has nothing to do with others. Tell me the antidote and I will save your life first. Later I will give you a day to leave the capital as far as possible. How far you can escape depends on you, and whether you can survive also depends on you."

"One life for another, isn't that fair?"

The Miao girl spat out a mouthful of blood and phlegm, her eyes blazing with fire, and shrieked, "Fair? My senior brother and master are both dead!"

Chen Ce said calmly: "I know that you are knight killers. You should take the risk of death before assassinating. You are only allowed to kill me, but my people are not allowed to kill you in return. There is no such reason in this world."

"The death of two people only proves that they are not good enough in their skills... Tell me, how do you make the antidote for the poison?"

The Miao woman sneered and said, "Then use her life to exchange for the three of us. Haha, what a good deal!"

Chen Ce shook his head and said, "No, she won't die. I am talking to you in a nice way now so that you can suffer less, but it doesn't mean that I can't make you speak."

"I want to make this as painless as possible, so could you tell me the antidote?"

The woman continued to sneer and said sinisterly, "You care about her a lot? Your woman? Haha, I like to see you being incompetent, hahaha."

Chen Ce smiled slightly.

"The bodies of your master and brother are still in my hands. I can hang them on the city wall to expose their corpses, or I can cut their bodies into pieces and send them to you, and then cook them into broth and feed them to you."

The Miao woman's expression changed slightly, but only for a moment. Chen Ce noticed it, which meant that she could grit her teeth and persist in this threat.

"Look, you don't really have much affection for your brother and your master, so don't pretend to be seeking revenge for them. You're just worried about my credibility. Don't worry, I'll keep my word."

The woman still gritted her teeth and insisted. Chen Ce did not continue to interrogate her and left the woodshed with his hands behind his back. However, the more he downplayed it, the more worried the Miao woman became. She would rather Chen Ce tortured herself like the group of inner factory thugs before, so that she could grit her teeth and persist.

The calmer Chen Ce is, the more horrifying the methods she will use later will be.

Li Zhen said with a worried look on his face: "Sir, this Miao girl is too stubborn, what should we do?"

Madam Wu couldn't hold out for long, only twelve hours at most. Seeing the time passing by, Li Zhen became worried about Chen Ce. If Madam Wu died, he was really afraid that Chen Ce would just massacre the entire Jiao family.

Even though Chen Ce seems to not care about anything these days, Li Zhen knows that until now, no one has really offended Chen Ce.

No one knows what the consequences will be if this young man in front of them goes completely crazy!
Chen Ce said to Li Zhen in a concise manner: "Find a quiet dark room, tie her horizontally to a wooden board like a corpse, and hang a bamboo stick above her forehead. Water will drip from the bamboo stick onto her forehead."

Li Zhen: “Ah?”

What does this do? Can it make the other person speak?
Li Zhen has been interrogating prisoners all his life, but he has never seen this kind of torture method. Moreover, it does not seem to be torturous, at most it is just a waste of time.

"Sir, Madam Wu doesn't have much time left." Li Zhen reminded.

Chen Ce said without hesitation: "Go do it!"

Li Zhen was stunned. He used to be on good terms with Chen Ce and always felt that Chen Ce was gentle and easy to talk to, but when he got serious, his aura seemed to be born with the majesty and power of a superior.

Li Zhen didn't dare to delay and could only do it according to Chen Ce's way.

In the woodshed, although the Miao woman's words were full of sarcasm, mocking the other party for not daring to continue the severe punishment, when she looked at these strange torture instruments, she was always filled with fear for some reason.

The unknown is the most frightening.

The door of the woodshed was closed, and the room was pitch black. There was no sound from outside, but the sound of dripping water on his forehead.

At first the Miao woman scoffed at it, but as time went by, she became more and more anxious. Her body was tied up tightly, making her unable to move.

Not far away, several guards from the inner factory were a little skeptical and said to Li Zhen, "Sir, will this interrogation really work? It doesn't look good."

Li Zhen made a gesture to silence the man and glared at the man who was talking.

Chen Ce was sitting in a side room of the inner factory. The brazier in the room was burning brightly and it was warm. Madam Wu was lying on the bed with beads of sweat on her forehead and a look of pain on her face.

Chen Ce wiped the sweat off her face with a towel and murmured, "Why are you so stupid? I have already arranged for people, they will not pose a threat to me, why do you want to act on your own?"

He could allow Jiao Fang to use conspiracy, overt conspiracy, etc. to deal with him, and assassination was not impossible. But he had to pay the price for his actions. If you take action, I can't just sit there and wait for you to kill me and cause trouble for me every day.

There is no such thing in this world.

Chen Ce may not care about trivial matters, for example, when Jiao Huangzhong brings people to the disaster relief site in Beicheng to cause trouble for Chen Ce, Chen Ce may swallow his anger and submit to Jiao Huangzhong.

None of this matters. Chen Ce doesn't want to waste time on such trivial matters, but giving in doesn't mean that Chen Ce is cowardly, nor does it mean that Chen Ce can allow himself to be bullied.
