Ming Dynasty: A mere unruly commoner is rebelling against the heaven?

Chapter 73 The respective punishment methods of the West Factory and the East Factory!

"Ahhhhh!!!"

“It hurts! It hurts so much!!!”

“No!! No!! Stop it now!!!”

"Please let me go, Master Qin, ahhhhhh!!!"

"..."

The ghostly howls of Zhang Hai and Liu Zong penetrated the thin earthen walls of the post station and reached the ears of Yang Jizong and Wang Yan in the next room.

Wang Yan shuddered violently, feeling a chill running down his spine.

The thought that if Yang Jizong had not firmly rejected Zhang Hai's bribe at that time, he might be the one being punished now.

Thinking of this, Wang Yan wanted to run to the toilet.

However, Yang Jizong remained calm and continued to record the land data in the book.

Those wails were like a gentle breeze blowing on your face, unable to change their color in the slightest.

After the screams, the ten fingers of Zhang Hai and Liu Zong's hands were covered in blood.

This was simply unbearable for them who had lived a life of luxury for so long.

“Ahhhhhhhh!!! Please let me go!!! I really can’t take it anymore!”

"Ahhh! I confess! I confess everything!!! Pull the bamboo stick out quickly!!!"

"I confess too! I really confess everything!!! Please take the bamboo stick out!!!"

Hearing that the two were willing to confess, Qin Lu snorted coldly.

"Huh, we've only just started. Can't you hold on any longer?"

Qin Lu waved his hand, and the Western Factory guards took the bamboo sticks off the two men's fingers.

This time, the two of them cried out in pain and their whole bodies shook violently.

Blood was oozing out of the two men's fingers, and they looked extremely miserable.

"Tell me, who is instructing you?"

"Who owns the large piece of land in Jinmenwei?"

Zhang Hai's face was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept sliding down his face.

These are all Zhang Hai’s cold sweats caused by the pain.

Zhang Hai felt extremely regretful. According to the original plan, Liu Zong should deal with the most dangerous Qin Lu.

All he needed to do was extend an olive branch to the two officials, Wang Yan and Yang Jizon.

Neither of them holds a higher official position than himself, and Qin Lu is not here. Logically, his trip should be extremely safe.

But he really didn't expect that Wang Yan and Yang Jizong actually rejected his attempts to win them over, and Qin Lu came back so quickly.

Moreover, Qin Lu detained and tortured him, a third-rank official, on the spot.

The Western Factory was so arrogant and domineering that Zhang Hai felt disheartened.

He knew that if the Western Factory was determined to get rid of him, then given Zhu Youtang's trust in the Western Factory, the people behind him would definitely not be able to protect him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hai closed his eyes in despair and uttered five words in an inaudible voice.

"Ryanbur Wang Yuan."

Qin Lu frowned and his expression suddenly became serious.

He turned and looked at Liu Zong, his eyes as sharp as swords.

Liu Zong couldn't withstand Qin Lu's sharp gaze and lowered his head.

"It was Earl Ryan who ordered me to do this. My land also belongs to Earl Ryan."

"I was originally a servant in Earl Ryan's house. It was... Earl Ryan who forcibly put the land in my name..."

Liu Zong's face was pale and he was frightened inside.

If Zhang Hai hadn't spoken first, he would never have said these three words even if he was beaten to death.

But since Zhang Hai has said it, there is no point in him hiding it any longer. It would be better to tell it out loud and suffer less physical pain.

"Ryanbur Wang Yuan."

Qin Lu repeated the name in a low voice with a grim look in his eyes.

No matter what kind of force it is, anyone who attempts to stop the land survey work will be destroyed by the Western Factory!
They, the Western Factory, are determined to carry out the orders of the Ming Emperor even at the cost of their lives!

...In late autumn in the capital, there was a rare day when the sun came out.

The warm sunshine shines on the earth, dispelling some of the cold.

Under the sunlight, the entire capital city seems to be more vibrant than usual.

The bustling crowds on the streets and the noisy hawking sounds are all part of the human atmosphere.

On this rare warm day, the cold and damp prison of Dongchang was still extremely cold and damp.

Anyone who comes to the Dongchang Prison will inevitably shudder and feel extremely terrified.

Only Liu Jin, the chief of the Eastern Depot, smiled brightly.

At this moment, he was using a punishment called combing.

Very painful, very cruel.

On the execution rack in front of him, there was a prisoner tied up, his body covered in blood and tortured beyond recognition.

At this moment, Liu Jin did not stop his hands.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

In just one second, the prisoner screamed miserably.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

Liu Jin looked at the man with a smile, and listening to the prisoner's screams, he felt extremely happy.

"President Liu, do you want to confess?"

"If you don't confess, we will come and ask you again in a quarter of an hour."

"Haha, don't be too anxious. We have plenty of time."

"Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

Liu Wentai, the chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau, who had been tortured for a whole day, had completely collapsed at this moment.

The endless pain in his body and the immense fear in his heart made him feel that death was so beautiful.

"Master Liu, please kill me, please kill me!"

"I can't stand it! I really can't stand it!!!"

“Ahhhhhhhh!!! I admit it! I admit it all!!!”

“Please, kill me, ahhhhhhhh!!!”

Liu Jin threw the iron brush aside with some regret, and picked up the paper and pen.

"Tell me, who ordered you to poison the late emperor?"

Liu Wentai's face was as pale as paper, and his bloodless lips trembled as he uttered the name of a dead man.

"Liu Ji."

……

The secret room inside the East Factory.

Huai En, Li Guang, and Liu Jin looked at a secret letter on the table in front of them with troubled expressions.

Li Guang frowned and thought: "Godfather, do we really have to present it to His Majesty now?"

"Yes, Mr. Factory Supervisor, how about waiting a little longer? Give me some more time, and I can find out more people."

Unlike Li Guang, Liu Jin licked his lips excitedly, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty light.

Torturing people and listening to their wailing are what Liu Jin enjoys most now.

Huai En glanced at Liu Jin with a complicated expression.

Frowning, Huai En carefully put away the secret letter on the table.

"We can't wait any longer. The East Factory has been silent for too long."

"It's time to let these officials know that the East Factory is always the head of the factory guards!"

"I will go to the palace to see the emperor now. You must be ready at any time to poke a hole in the sky of this capital city!"

"Yes, godfather!"

"Yes, Mr. Factory Supervisor!"

Huai En did not delay any longer and hurried to the palace with the secret letter.
