Chapter 33: Coerced Confessions


Shangguanxiu's method of blocking Zhongfu acupoint and Jianliao acupoint is effective.

The foreign spiritual energy was indeed sealed in the meridians of his arms.

He first slowly removed the spiritual energy from Zhongfu Point.

As the spiritual energy from Zhongfu Point evacuated, the foreign spiritual energy trapped in Zhongfu Point also leaked out.

However, the gap opened by Shangguanxiu was very small, and the foreign spiritual energy seeped out.

Slowly, he can easily integrate the leaked spiritual energy into his own spiritual energy bit by bit by using the spirit-returning method.

This process is slow but safe and will not cause any harm to his body.

After Shangguan Xiu took all of Zhou Man's spiritual energy for his own use, his cultivation realm also broke through to the fifth level of the spiritual realm.

Now he is only one spiritual level away from the sixth level of spiritual realm.

When he woke up from meditation and opened his eyes, he found Ding Leng standing in front of him, holding a bloody human head in his hand.

Zhou Feng’s head.

"Brother Xiu, are you injured?"

Seeing him wake up, Ding Leng crouched down and asked with concern.

"No, I'm fine."

Shangguan Xiu stood up, glanced at the corpse beside him, shook his head at Ding Leng, and said, "Let's go back."

Shangguan Xiu randomly transformed into Zhou Man, kidnapped Zhou Qian, and deliberately left Yi Niang alive in order to transfer the government's investigation target to Zhou Man through her mouth.

Since he was going to frame Zhou Man, he couldn't leave anyone alive, including Zhou Feng, who had been inseparable from Zhou Man.

Once Zhou Man and Zhou Feng died, the case became an unsolved case.

No matter how much the government investigated, they could not find the leader of Shura Hall.

Shangguan Xiu and Ding Leng returned to their home in the north of the city.

Luo Ren, Cao Lei, and Yuan Mu had been waiting for a long time.

When they saw them coming back, the three of them stepped forward to greet them and asked, "Brother Xiu, how are you?"

"It's done."

Shangguan Xiu smiled and looked at Luo Ren and Cao Lei.

Both of them had bruises on their noses and faces, which were left behind when they fought with Zhou Man and Zhou Feng.

He asked: "Is the injury serious?"

"It's okay, Brother Xiu, it's just a skin injury."

Luo Ren and Cao Lei said nonchalantly.

Shangguanxiu nodded and asked, "Where is Zhou Qian?"

"In the house."

"It's time for us to meet Mr.

Zhou."

At this time, Zhou Qian was stuffed into the water tank in the kitchen, his hands and feet were tied up, and his mouth was stuffed with a large ball of rags.

He couldn't move or scream.

He was huddled in the water tank, and his body was almost curled up.

In a ball.

Shangguan Xiu glanced at it, stretched out his hand, and without seeing how hard he used it, he forcefully lifted Zhou Qian out of the water tank and threw it to the ground.

Zhou Qian groaned when he was thrown, and all the bones in his body seemed to be falling apart.

Shangguanxiu squatted down and pulled out the ball of cloth from Zhou Qian's mouth.

As the cloth was pulled out, Zhou Qian gasped for air, and after breathing for a while, he glared at Shangguan Xiu and the others, and shouted sternly: "You are so brave, you dare to kidnap me, do you know me?

Who is it?”

While he was shouting, Shangguan Xiu reached back, picked up a kitchen knife from the stove next to him, and said, "I only know that if you dare to say one more nonsense, I will chop off your head with this knife."

Looking at the kitchen knife in front of him, Zhou Qian shivered, and stammered: "I am in charge of the affairs of the Neishi Mansion, Zhou Qian.

If you let me go now, I may be able to let you forget the blame.

Otherwise, I will let you go."

If so, the Internal Affairs Bureau will not let you go, you and your family will all die."

Before he could finish his words, Shangguan Xiu slapped him hard on the face with his hand.

The slap sounded loud and clear, causing Zhou Qian's head to tilt to the side, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

In the blink of an eye, half of Zhou Qian's cheeks swelled up.

"If you don't want to die, don't talk nonsense to me.

You will answer whatever I ask you.

Do you understand?"

Shangguan Xiu grabbed Zhou Qian's hair and forced him to look into his eyes.

Zhou Qian's bluffing arrogance was completely beaten by Shangguan Xiu's slap.

He grinned widely, with snot and tears flowing out of his nose, and nodded tremblingly.

"I now want you to write down everything about your corruption and bending the law."

While speaking, Shangguan Xiu nodded to Yuan Mu.

The latter took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that he had prepared long ago from the back room and placed them one by one in front of Zhou Qian.

Zhou Qian's heart trembled when he heard this.

He sat on the ground, shook his head repeatedly, and said: "I have been an official for more than ten years, and I have never taken bribes or perverted the law."

Not wanting to listen to his nonsense, Shangguan Xiu turned his head and shouted: "Take off his shoes."

Cao Lei and Ding Leng held down Zhou Qian, while Luo Ren took off Zhou Qian's shoes and socks.

Shangguan Xiu grabbed a kitchen knife from the side, looked at Zhou Qian, and asked, "I'll give you another chance.

Do you want to write or not?"

"I I really don't" Without him having to finish his words, Shangguan Xiu nodded clearly.

He pressed Zhou Qian's instep with one hand, raised the kitchen knife with the other hand, and slashed it to the ground.

With a click, the kitchen knife fell to the ground, and Zhou Qian's little toe was broken.

Zhou Qian let out a scream, but just as the scream came out, Ding Leng covered his mouth with his big hand.

Zhou Qian made no sound.

He slapped his hands on the ground in pain and his body shivered suddenly.

In just a moment, his face and body were covered in cold sweat.

Shangguan Xiu pressed his instep and asked again: "Write it or not?"

Zhou Qian's mouth was covered by Ding Leng and he was speechless.

He could only shake his head.

Seeing his reaction like this, Shangguan Xiu understood what he meant.

Click Shangguan Xiu said nothing, and slashed down with another knife.

The kitchen knife once again chopped off one of Zhou Qian's toes.

Zhou Qian rolled his eyes upward in pain and fainted on the spot.

"Wake him up," Shangguan Xiu said expressionlessly as he looked at Zhou Qian who was in a daze.

Luo Ren, Cao Lei, and Yuan Mu had never seen such a bloody scene before, and now they finally saw the cold and vicious side of Shangguan Xiu.

But this is exactly what they want to see.

Only by following such people can they have a bright future.

Cao Lei brought a basin of water, pointed it at Zhou Qian, and poured it on Zhou Qian's head.

Zhou Qian shivered, and then woke up.

He first looked at Shangguan Xiu and the others, then raised his head and looked at the soles of his feet with two toes missing.

His nose and tears flowed together, and he let out a sob in his throat. .

Ding Leng removed the hand covering his mouth, and Zhou Qian cried intermittently: "Don't chop it again, don't chop it again."

"Zhou Qian, don't expect anyone to come to save you.

No one knows you are here."

Shangguan Xiu leaned close to Zhou Qian.

The distance between the two was so close that the tips of their noses were almost touching.

He said word for word: "These two knives, I just want you to understand that I am not joking with you now.

If you don't do what I say, I will use this kitchen knife to cut off your toes and fingers."

Stomp them all down one by one.

If you still refuse to cooperate, I will cut your flesh and bones.

Do you really plan to force me to do this?"

Zhou Qian's body trembled and he couldn't help but shudder.

He asked in a trembling voice: "What do you want me to do?"

"As I said just now, write down for me all your corruption and perversion of the law over the years.

When, where, how many bribes you received from whom, and for what reasons who you framed. , everything must be written clearly.

If there are any omissions," Shangguan Xiu picked up the kitchen knife in his hand, waved it in front of Zhou Qian's face, rubbed the blood on his cheek a few times, and said nothing.

Zhou Qian was completely frightened by Shangguan Xiu.

"I write, I write, I write everything.

Do you think you will let me go if I write it?"

"As long as you are obedient, I will not make it difficult for you, but if you are disobedient, you have already experienced my methods just now."

The pampered Zhou Qian has never suffered such torture in his life.

How can he bear it now?

After two toes were cut off, his psychological defense has completely collapsed.

Zhou Qian said no more.

He tremblingly picked up the pen, smeared some ink on it, pondered for a moment, and began to write quickly on the paper.

Zhou Qian wrote more than ten pages just for the things he could remember.

As for the things he couldn't remember, there were even more.

After he finished speaking, Shangguanxiu picked up the more than ten pages of confession he had written, glanced through it, and asked casually: "That's all."

"I, I can only remember so many other things, I really can't remember them."

As he spoke, tears flowed out again.

Rolling his eyes at him, Shangguan Xiu continued to read Zhou Qian's confession.

In the confession, he found that Zhou Qian had accepted a lot of bribes, but at the same time he also sent a lot of bribes to his superiors, which involved his superiors.

He is a higher-ranking official of the Internal Affairs Bureau.

His heart moved, and while reading the confession, he said casually: "You are not the only corrupt official in the Internal Affairs Bureau, right?"

"No it's not" "Why don't you write out the corruption and perversion of the law by those other people?"

"This and this" "You don't want to write anymore?"

Shangguan Xiuxiao asked, but the smile on his face made Zhou Qian's spine run cold.

"There are too many, and most of them are just hearsay.

I don't know if they are true or not."

"No matter how much it is, whether it's true or false, just write it."

Shangguan Xiu suggested with a smile: "The higher the rank of the officials involved, the better, and the higher the position, the better."

He collected evidence against officials for King Yu.

If he only collected evidence against some small fish and shrimps, it would be insignificant and he would have no merit to speak of.

But if he could collect evidence against high-ranking officials of the Neishi Mansion, it would be different. , and it will definitely leave a deep impression on King Yu.

Looking at it now, Zhou Qian knows a lot about the situation in the Neishi Mansion, and he will definitely be able to squeeze out more valuable information from him.

"Just write more.

I can tell whether it is true or false," Shangguan Xiu urged.

Under Shangguan Xiu's coercion and inducement, Zhou Qian wrote another confession against his colleagues and even superior and subordinate officials.

In this confession, he criticized everyone from Song Sheng, the minister of internal history, to the eighth-rank secretary of the internal history office.

Judging from his farewell, there are simply no good people in the Imperial Palace.

Everyone is corrupt and perverts the law, and officials protect each other.

This is shocking and appalling.

As for the accuracy of this confession, even Zhou Qian himself could not tell clearly.

Most of the contents were heard by him and his colleagues when they were idle and gossiping
