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

Chapter 515: Methods of Interrogation

Zhu Houzhao left the Jinyiwei prison in a huff. These captured assassins were too stubborn and they refused to say anything even after all kinds of torture were used.

This is enough to show that the other party really doesn't know who is behind them and they are just doing things for the money.

Zhu Houzhao was somewhat disappointed. In this way, wouldn't it be just catching a few small shrimps? This was really of no use.

As soon as Chen Ce came out of the Qianqing Palace, he saw the furious Zhu Houzhao head-on in the imperial city.

Zhu Houzhao also found Chen Ce. He came up to Chen Ce, snorted, and said, "Little brother, the people we arrested this time are all useless trash. They are just small fry who know nothing. They are paid to do things, so you can't get anything useful out of them."

Chen Ce was also a little disappointed. He had thought that he could find some clues from this group of assassins, and then follow the clues to dig out the core members of the White Lotus Sect.

Who knew that the group of people they arrested were just "mercenaries", but Chen Ce was still a little curious, he asked Zhu Houzhao: "How did you interrogate them? What did they say? Tell me in detail."

Zhu Houzhao said "oh" and repeated the whole process to Chen Ce.

In fact, there is nothing special about it. The Jinyiwei guys are very proficient in interrogation, and the tortures they use to force confessions are also varied. Anyway, it's chilling to watch.

However, even after all these severe punishments were handed down, the group of assassins still said that they had no idea who was behind the scenes and that they were merely doing the job for money. The person who gave them the money was investigated by the Jinyiwei and was found dead by the time they found him.

All clues have been cut off, so nothing can be found out.

Zhu Houzhao sighed and said, "We finally caught some people alive this time, but they turned out to be a bunch of useless guys. Even so, these bastards will never leave the prison alive. They dared to assassinate you, little brother. They must be tired of living!"

Chen Ce had been thinking, and after Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he suddenly said, "You said you used torture, but the other party still said he didn't know? Didn't you say anything else?"

Zhu Houzhao shook his head and said, "No, what's the problem?"

Chen Ce said, "There is a problem, a big problem. If you were an assassin who was paid to do something for someone else, you would confess everything to avoid further torture. Even if you knew nothing, you would tell the whole story. You would not bite the bullet and insist on closing the case by saying someone was dead."

"They were able to do this precisely because they had a strong will. They withstood the powerful torture of the Imperial Guards!"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment: "Little brother, you mean, they know everything, but they didn't say anything?"

Chen Ce said: "Well, that should be the case."

Zhu Houzhao said: "But the Jinyiwei have tried their best and used all means, but the other party still hasn't said a word. Even the Jinyiwei are helpless. They are clearly determined to keep the secret to themselves. No matter how hard we try, we won't get anything out of them."

"The Imperial Guards are going to report this to the Ministry of Justice and have them come over to arrest the man, convict him and execute him."

Chen Ce stopped Zhu Houzhao and said, "Wait a minute, there may be a way to make them speak."

what?
Those people in Jinyiwei are all veterans who are proficient in interrogation. They are familiar with all kinds of torture in history. Generally speaking, if Jinyiwei cannot interrogate someone, it basically means that there is no problem with these people.

"Little brother, how do you get them to talk? Is there any way?"

Chen Ce said: "Try to find a bamboo tube, and then-"

He whispered in Zhu Houzhao's ear for a long time. Zhu Houzhao was stunned, then looked at Chen Ce in astonishment and said, "Is it that simple?"

My dear brother, what do you call interrogation? Compared with the methods of the Jinyiwei, this is just child's play. Compared with their cruel methods, you can't even compare to them.

And how can this be considered torture? How can this make the other party speak? Zhu Houzhao said he would not believe it. Chen Ce said, "No matter what, let's try it first. Maybe it will work. Anyway, they don't have a better way to interrogate now, right?"

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and realized that this was the truth. Although he did not hold out hope, he still nodded and said, "Okay! Then I will go to the Jinyiwei again."

Chen Ce hummed.

As for himself, he would not bother with the Jinyiwei. After the Jinyiwei came out with the results, someone would take the initiative to tell Chen Ce.

Chen Ce left the palace with his hands behind his back, while Zhu Houzhao went back and returned to the Jinyiwei prison.

When Mou Bin saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming back again, he asked, "Your Royal Highness, do you have any other instructions?"

Zhu Houzhao said: "I will try other methods."

Ok?
Mou Bin asked, "Your Highness still doesn't trust the methods of our Jinyiwei?"

"The Imperial Guards have already used all their tricks. No one can survive us..."

Zhu Houzhao said impatiently, "I said I would try it, why are you nagging me? What do you mean I don't trust the methods of your Jinyiwei? Whether I trust you or not, what can I do?"

Mou Bin realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately bowed and said respectfully, "Your Highness, you misunderstood. I did not mean that."

"Your Highness, please give me your orders. I will do it right away."

Zhu Houzhao said: "Go find me a hollow bamboo tube, then tie the prisoner to the bed, place the bamboo tube above their eyebrows, connect the bamboo tube to water, and let the water drip onto the prisoner's eyebrows little by little."

Mou Bin listened carefully, but Zhu Houzhao stopped talking here. Mou Bin asked Zhu Houzhao cautiously, "Your Highness, is there anything else?"

Zhu Houzhao said: "No more."

Gone?

Is it that simple? He had imagined stabbing the opponent's fingers with bamboo sticks, and also imagined connecting the opponent's anus with a bamboo tube and continuously pumping water into it.

I just never thought it would be so simple.

Is this still torturing the other party?

"What are you looking at me for? Do it according to my method!"

"By the way, during this process, do not let anyone come into contact with the criminal. Imprison him in a dark room. No noise is allowed around him. No matter how the criminal screams, ignore him."

Mou Bin: “…”

This, the other party shouldn't yell, right? Compared with the Jinyiwei's method of forcing a confession, you simply can't make the other party too comfortable, and the other party will still yell? Isn't this a joke.

However, due to Zhu Houzhao's authority, Mou Bin did not dare to say much and could only say: "I obey your order and I will do it right away!"

Zhu Houzhao hummed and said, "I will wait in the Jinyiwei. When the other party speaks, he will come to me!"
