Chapter 447 Sand

Just now Shen Hao was still worried and didn't know how to continue tearing up the breakthrough, but now he heard that Jiang Cheng wanted him to close the case?

What's the matter?

I remember being told to "do my best to investigate" in the study of Pang Ban's house before dawn. It has only been less than a day. How did the wind direction change so quickly?

"My lord, can you tell me the reason? Xu Hong just took it down, and the interrogation has only just begun. Even Xu Hong's family has found something that hasn't had time to sort it out carefully. This case is about to be closed? Isn't it a bit hasty?" Shen Shen Hao was a little agitated, mainly because he didn't expect to wait for such an unreasonable order.

Jiang Cheng didn't think it was disobedient, he patted Shen Hao's shoulder, sighed as well, and said, "This is not only what Da Daren meant, but also what His Majesty meant. Can you understand?"

Shen Hao shook his head, he understood what the hell. However, Jiang Cheng's tone can be heard to be quite helpless.

"Don't understand? Hehe, let me tell you this. You know that the situation in the south is unstable now, and the army is still in chaos, so His Majesty closed the cover in advance, understand?"

With that said, Shen Hao understands a little bit. But I always feel a little uncomfortable. There is a feeling of being used as a tool if you want to use it, and throwing it away when you don’t need it.

"Then Xu Hong's side?"

"Xu Hong is in custody here. You are not qualified to detain him in the dungeon of Fengsun City. The progress of the interrogation here will be copied for you. But you have also seen the possibility of trying to pry his mouth open." Not too much. The focus of your investigation should still be on sorting out the confiscation of his house, don't let go of any clues."

Shen Hao understood that Jiang Cheng was not going to let him directly take over Xu Hong's interrogation.

Jiang Cheng smiled, saw some of Shen Hao's reactions, and said, "Don't think too much, this is to protect you."

"The subordinate understands."

Shen Hao was only emotional for a while, and it wasn't that he was stunned and unable to turn around. Of course he wouldn't be stubborn if Jiang Cheng's words touched this point. Moreover, Jiang Chengren still has a deep understanding. His Shangfeng will not punish him, and he will not lie if he says it is "protection".

The scene of torture was nothing to watch, and the methods were similar to those of the killers in the Black Flag Camp. There was still no way to deal with Xu Hong's toughness.

"Xu Hong, you should have heard what I said to my disciple just now, right? You have been in a high position for a long time, so you should be easier to understand than my disciple. What's the point of you being so stubborn and not telling the truth? ? When your head is lost, how long can that person live? How long can His Majesty's character tolerate him? The result is still the same? You are making trouble for yourself, are you stupid!"

"As I said, it was my decision to collude with the barbarians. I have pleaded guilty. I have nothing else to say, and I don't understand what you are talking about."

Xu Hong repeated such a sentence. Even though his cultivation base was sealed and the severe pain made him mentally exhausted, it was still the same, even Shen Hao could still see the contempt and disdain in the other party's eyes.

Where did the emotion come from to be able to express "disdain" at this level? Could it be that Xu Hong thought things could be reversed? Really stupid is not it?

Shen Hao finally understands why Xu Hong is said to be Yang Yansi's number one confidant. It's no wonder that Xu Hong is not the number one confidant if he blindly worships him to the point of paranoia and self-brainwashing.

Here Xu Hong's mouth is tough, and Jiang Cheng's heart is also not soft. Smiling sullenly, he raised his hand and wrote a warrant for the adjutant to deal with. Not long after, three men and two women were brought in. These five people were all under adult age, and they were the youngest generation in Xu's mansion. Shen Hao sighed secretly on the side, knowing what Jiang Cheng was going to do.

Sure enough, I heard Jiang Chengdao: "I have heard that you have a harmonious family style and dote on the juniors. These five people are all juniors you are close to. Guess what they will experience later? Hmph, you Xu Hong has a tough mouth and a tough bone, I want to see if your heart is as hard as this?"

This method of extorting a confession by torture was also suggested by Wang Jian to Shen Hao when Zhou Qing was interrogated before, but Shen Hao refused. However, this kind of method is not uncommon in Xuanqing Guard, especially for such a big case that will definitely implicate family members. The simple idea here is: anyway, your family members will be beheaded by the company, so why not use it as torture material?

In the past, Shen Hao asked a few killers who specialized in torture, how they were so cruel, but these killers said: Human offenders are not human, just treat them like pigs, there is no psychological burden.

It's just cooking twice-cooked pork in front of the pig.

But Shen Hao couldn't pass the test in his heart.

This is not the benevolence of women, but the difference between the three views. Shen Hao can be ruthless, but he can't treat a living person like a pig. He has no objection to the fact that the wicked have their own torture, so he is happy to see the success of the crime when the criminal suffers a little bit, and he will feel happy when the wicked suffer. But to abuse the implicated person, this is

"My lord, if there is nothing wrong here, the subordinates want to go back and check it, I wonder if it is possible?"

"Well, let's go. The case must be closed, but what needs to be investigated must be followed up. Write as you want in the file, don't be perfunctory."

"Yes, my subordinates have remembered."

Jiang Cheng waved his hand and agreed to Shen Hao's retreat. At the same time, several torturers started a new performance amidst Xu Hong's roar. That toughness.

Coming out of the governor's yamen, he even let out a long breath of foul air. Most of the depression in my heart these days has dissipated at this time. Once the order to close the case came, there was no such thing as "can't miss it". The tone was set by the superiors, and he felt unhappy for a moment, but what could he do? Forget it, why not take it easy?

With a self-deprecating smile, Shen Hao returned to Xu Hong's mansion surrounded by guards. There was already a long line of carts parked outside, and the things inside will be directly carried out on the school grounds of the Fushi Yamen in Jingxi Town for the final analysis. They will be counted and then entered into the public treasury of the Fushi Yamen in Jingxi Town. Of course, this kind of Tongtian case is not yet over after it enters the public treasury, and there is a high probability that it will be handed over to the emperor's House of Internal Affairs, and the emperor will get a lot of money when they meet.

"My lord, all the light and dark cellars have been cleaned up. At present, I am mainly checking the ledgers and various documents and records. These things are stored in the accountant of the Xu family. Please show me."

Wang Yiming didn't expect Shen Hao to come back so soon, it was only half an hour before and after, and his face seemed to be very relaxed. Could it be that he got good news from the governor's yamen?

"The ledger and documents are sealed, and these are taken back. Be careful not to miss anything." Shen Hao sat back on the chair again, took the tea from Wang Yiming, took a sip, and then looked through the search list at the back.

After a long while, Shen Hao returned the checklist to Wang Yiming, and added: "Make a copy of the checklist too, and bring it back with the accounts and documents."
