Chapter 60: They're all just ordinary people.

Wang Degui stopped and looked at Li Fu.

"Who knew... this person was not frightened at all, but instead laughed and said so what, others are others, if they can't rescue people from here, they are useless."

My older brother is different.

So what if there are three thousand border soldiers? So what if there are four great masters? They are just ordinary people.

You just wait and see, serve me well, or else when I get out…”

"That expression...that tone...it didn't seem like he was bluffing to bolster his courage, but rather he was absolutely certain and had no doubt about it!"

It was as if his elder brother could easily break into this iron prison with ease!

We dare not gamble...

A hint of worry appeared on his chubby face.

Even if he's now a corpse, dead... his older brother might not know!

Li Fudao said, "Or it might be even worse if they found out."

"You're absolutely right. What if... what if that person really comes, goes crazy, forces his way in and kills... causing chaos and destruction..."

Fear appeared on Wang Degui's face.

"If even one of them escapes from this iron prison, it will be a huge disaster!"

If that thief really causes trouble and manages to escape with a few heinous criminals... it might even plunge the country into chaos.

The imperial court is furious and will investigate. Not only will we lose our heads, but our entire families will likely be implicated and lose theirs too!

He bowed deeply to Li Fu once again.

"Therefore, we sincerely welcome Officer Li to come and investigate the case and try to catch the treasure robber. Our superiors have also given us orders to cooperate fully."

This is not only helping the government, but also saving our lives and the lives of this prison guard!

How could we not fully cooperate?

After listening, Li Fu finally understood the matter, but his doubts deepened.

Cao Yu's confidence was far from ordinary arrogance. Even after being thrown into such a dangerous place, he still firmly believed that his elder brother had the supernatural power to rescue him.

Could his elder brother truly possess extraordinary abilities?

"If he says the three thousand border troops and the four generals are just ordinary people, is his elder brother some kind of god?"

Tapping.

Wang Degui led Li Fu through several heavy iron gates that required different keys to open, and finally into a relatively spacious document room with an oil lamp burning.

He took out a not-too-thick file from a locked iron cabinet.

"Officer Li, these are all the interrogation and handling records of Cao Yu after he was imprisoned."

He respectfully placed the case file on the table, skillfully poured two cups of hot tea, and then stood aside, smiling apologetically.

"The records in this file are quite detailed."

Please take a look first. If there's anything you don't understand, I'll be right here to answer your questions and provide further information!

Li Fu nodded and said no more.

As I opened the file, lines of text came into view.

As he looked at it, he frowned.

The case file records are limited, consisting mainly of Cao Yu's imprisonment registration, routine questioning, and his arrogant and boastful remarks.

The interrogation records show that although this person was stubborn and arrogant, he was also tough and withstood a lot of torture.

"However, the main duty of the prison is to guard, and without clear instructions or evidence, prisoners cannot be subjected to severe torture that could lead to death to extract confessions."

During the torture, Cao Yu cursed even more wildly, saying, "Wait, when my elder brother comes, I'll kill you all one by one, leaving no one alive!"

A jailer sneered, "Three thousand armored soldiers, four top experts in charge, is your brother a god? How can you possibly kill them all?"

Cao Yu was in unbearable pain, but he still roared and killed them all. "Kill them all! No, I'll make my elder brother make you wish you were dead, and turn you into something neither human nor ghost!"

That confidence in his older brother could be felt even through the case files.

Li Fu had doubts.

"Is this person so arrogant and domineering because his powerful older brother spoils him?"

Chen Tao also glanced at a few lines of the file, walked closer to Li Fu, and lowered his voice.

"My lord, I heard that Cao Yu was spouting nonsense in prison, claiming that his elder brother would definitely be able to get him out. This angered Magistrate Hong, who became even more furious, and then..."

He glanced at Wang Degui, who was standing beside him, and hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Those who are imprisoned here cannot speak further.

Wang Degui wore his usual smile, as if he hadn't heard anything, or was simply pretending to be deaf.

"Wang Yusi..."

Li Fugang was about to ask some questions.

"Ahhh..."

A heart-wrenching scream, filled with endless pain and fear, suddenly came from the depths of the iron cell!

The screams were sharp and distorted, as if the pain pierced the heavens, reaching an unbearable level!

"I'll confess everything... Please... kill me..."

As Li Fu listened, he sensed that the person being tortured had truly reached their limit and wasn't just saying it for a moment's respite.

If you ask that person now, they'll probably confess to anything you ask, and they'll just want to die to escape their predicament.

What's chilling is that the sounds of torture didn't stop at all; instead, they became more frequent and vicious, mixed with the torturer's excited sneers, as if he was enjoying the torture!

"This is……"

Li Fu frowned and looked toward the source of the sound.

Wang Degui's smile remained unchanged, as if the horrifying screams were nothing more than the shouts of an ordinary person.

"Oh, it's our prison's chief clerk, Lord Feng Mao, asking us questions."

Lord Feng's interrogation techniques are unmatched in the entire Yanzhou. Even Duan Gang, who was said to have fallen into the hands of Constable Li, used to come to the prison to consult Lord Feng.

Even a stone will start talking once it's in his hands.

"As for the screams... it's nothing. If Officer Li has been working here for a long time, he'll get used to it."

His tone was casual, and coupled with the incessant screams, it sounded particularly terrifying in the dark and cold prison environment.

Hearing the inhuman screams, Chen Tao felt a chill run down his spine and his hair stand on end.

He recalled some news about Feng Mao and said in a low voice.

"My lord, I've heard of this Feng Mao. I've heard that he's a distant nephew of Lord Feng, and his interrogation skills are also extremely superb."

Leaving aside his other interrogation techniques, it's rumored that his specialty was peeling the skin off a living person bit by bit, leaving the person a bloody gourd, yet still alive...

Under his rule, there were fathers who would betray their own sons for a quick death, and mothers who would sell their own daughters to avoid suffering...

Chen Tao's description made the screams seem almost tangible.

Li Fu raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly.

While it's not uncommon for children to betray their parents, the idea of ​​a father implicating his son and a mother betraying her daughter is beyond the comprehension of most people.

That Feng Mao, what ruthless methods he uses!

"Even with such methods, this Chief Censor Feng couldn't pry any useful clues out of Cao Yu?"

Li Fu looked at the thin file in his hand and asked.

"Well..."

Wang Degui's smile became slightly stiff.
