Chapter 529: Chater 529 The End Of The Cui Family (3)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Brother Hu panicked and immediately yelled, “You coward, do you have any backbone?”
Without waiting for Xiaoye—the interrogated man—to speak, Zhou Huai Ming sneered, “Yo, as expected of their leader. So you think you can endure this? Come, come; let’s see how many bricks you can take.”
Xiaoye looked at Brother Hu expectantly. He wanted to let his leader have a taste of this Tiger Stool and see if he would still be able to stay quiet.
The guards immediately changed Brother Hu into the contraption excitedly. If the effect were good, it would save them a lot of effort when interrogating other criminals in the future.
After Brother Hu was tied up, the guards didn’t wait for Zhou Huaiming’s instructions and directly threw two bricks at him.
Brother Hu immediately broke out in a cold sweat from the pain. This simple and crude interrogation method was really killing him.
Zhou Huaiming saw this and laughed gloatingly. “Add another piece. He’s the leader, ain’t it? Two bricks are too little for someone like him.”
The guard immediately added another brick.
This time, Brother Hu couldn’t hold on anymore and screamed in pain. He could even feel that his leg was about to break.
He kept struggling, and when the rope was pulled to its limit, Brother Hu finally heaved a sigh of relief.
“I’m impressed; what a man of steel. Let’s add another brick.” Zhou Huaiming gave Brother Hu a thumbs up.
The guards moved again, but it was getting difficult to add the brick this time.
Brother Hu also felt that his leg would break if this brick were added. It would be broken by pure force.
Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle. After hesitating momentarily, he shouted, “Stop adding, stop adding! I’ll talk, I’ll talk!”
Lord Yan, who was watching the show with his hands behind his back, said, “It looks like this tiger stool is much more effective than whipping.”
Zhou Huaiming smiled and asked the people to start recording his statement.
With Brother Hu’s agreement, the interrogation was quick. In a short while, they had revealed everything they knew.
However, they did not say it was the Yang family. Instead, they gave up a person called Master Wen.
Lord Yan immediately sent someone to invite “Master Wen” over.
After going through the Tiger Stool, Master Wen confessed quickly. Not only did he admit that he had spent money to save the two men captured earlier, but he also confessed that his higher-ups were the Cui family.
In the end, Lord Yan ordered his subordinates to hand Master Wen to the Ministry of Justice.
They quickly pounced on the Cui family after that.
After receiving a tip, the Cui family was about to escape but was blocked.
Zhou Huaiming brought them directly to the Ministry of Justice. In order to survive, the Cui family had no choice but to give up the Yang family’s Madam and Mrs. Cui.
King An, the Minister of Justice, who had mentally prepared for this, immediately dispatched someone to the Yang Residence to arrest them.
By the time Yang s.h.i.+cheng received the news, it was already a foregone conclusion.
However, for the sake of Yang s.h.i.+cheng’s safety and to leave a way out for themselves, the two women did not choose to out him.
However, King An only sneered at their stubbornness. He did not believe that just these two women could run such a major operation.
At the same time, Zhou Ying told Gu Chengrui about Yang Wanning’s intention. After Gu Chengrui, King Rui, and Zhou Huaiming discussed it, King Rui ordered the servants of his royal residence to spread the news that the Yang family was pressing for his dowry.
Therefore, the next morning, Yang s.h.i.+cheng was suspended by the Emperor for failing his duty.
After leaving the palace, Yang s.h.i.+cheng once again faced everyone’s contempt and disdain.
The moment he found out what was happening, he almost exploded in anger.
When Yang s.h.i.+cheng returned home, Yang Wanyu, who was waiting at the door, immediately rushed over and asked, “Father, have you asked King An about Grandmother and Mother? When can they be released?”
Yang s.h.i.+cheng looked at her and didn’t answer her question.. Instead, he asked, “Did your mother ask Yang Wanning to request King Rui’s dowry in advance?”
