Chapter 35: Imprisoned 3

Wang De hurriedly said, "It must be, my lord! I will definitely not talk nonsense!"

"It's good to know, it's good to know!" Cao Muwen was very happy. He gently stroked Wang De's head and said, "If you know your mistake, you can correct it. It's not a big deal!" The latter nodded hurriedly.

"I know what you do? I also know what you want to do. I just hope you can be honest. Brother, didn't you say before that you should be honest and sincere? Right! Little brother, I remember it in my heart and dare not forget it. If I forget it, there will be a bloody disaster..." Cao Muwen mentioned Wang De.

"I know, I know! I must be honest, must be honest."

"Be sincere and persperate."

"Oh, oh, it must be."

"I said, don't use any taboos. Anyway, the most serious thing is to kill me! Right? It's impossible to commit a more serious crime. I already know, man! People die for money and birds die for food. Brother, if you kill me for money, as long as you can honestly admit it, I can still consider opening up... We also ask for something... But if you are dishonest, even if you don't want to kill me, I have to open your eyes!"

"It must be, it must be honest!"

"Don't talk nonsense! FUCK YOU!" Cao Muwen straightened up and kicked him, and Wang De was just right in the chest. "Oh!" After eating the pain, Wang De shouted in pain.

"You boy is still shouting pain!"

Cao Muwen thought about whether he had done too much, but on second thought, he was still too kind. He is a Jinyiwei. This is a big prison of Jinyiwei. Maybe some people think that Cao Muwen is abusing prisoners. In fact, compared with those professional Jinyiwei, what he has just done is simply tickling. Just saying that Jinyiwei's so-called guardhouse has the same prison as the Ministry of Criminal Justice system, which is not unusual. Yuan Pingzhang seems to be a kind-looking person, making this Jinyiwei edict prison useless, but this does not mean that all Jinyiwei prisons are like this. You can get a glimpse of the various torture tools that were originally placed here and removed by the court Pingzhang. The Criminal Department of Jinyiwei's edict prison can't control it at all. This is handled by the Fusi of Beizhen Fusi. It can directly torture and take orders. Except for the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Inspectorate and other three legal departments have no right to interrogate. In prison, "water and fire are in, and the epidemic is full of prison". The criminal law of the imperial edict prison is extremely cruel. The punishment has fingers, sticks, skinning and tongue. , broken spine, fallen fingers, thorns, pipa and other 18 kinds. No wonder the history book says: "The criminal law is self-evident, and those who are indifferent to the ancient system are already in prison. It's the number, the murder is miserable, and it's not beautiful in the law. What is recorded in this ancient book is vivid.

In Jiajing, Liu Ji was told by the criminal department: "The state has set up three legal divisions, specializing in prison, or the main quality, or the main redress. Power ministers must not take kindness and resentment as their departure, and the emperor should not take joy and anger as the priority. Since the officials of Jinyi Town are in charge of the edict of prison, and the law department is almost useless. During the Wanli period, Qian Ruoyu, the magistrate of Linjiang, was imprisoned by Zhu Yijun of the Ming Shenzong for 37 years, and finally could not be released. His son Qian Jingzhong said: "In the 37 years, my father's qi and blood have been exhausted... The purulence is dripping, the limbs are swollen, the sores are full of poison, and he suffers of foot tumors, and he is exhausted. His ears are deaf, his eyes are in sight, his hands are unable to move, his feet are unable to move, and there is still a little breath in his throat. It is said that he is not dead, but he is actually dead." It was not until after Xi Zong Zhu Yuxiao ascended the throne that he released him. Qu Shixun once said, "The past Wei and Cui Zhishi, who belong to the fierce network, that is, the annoying horse, the other is the Ti horse, that is, the soul flies, the soup fire, the miserable and unspeakable. Once you send it to the law department, it is not the joy of heaven." Shen Jiaben's "Penal Law Examination" said: "The government of a generation is nothing in ancient and modern times." Gu Dawu's "Pagandayan" also described the tragic situation of the "six gentlemen" including Yang Lian being severely tortured by Xu Xianchun in the command of Jinyiwei in the Zhenfu Division.

18 torture in the Ming Dynasty, the above says that "Ming" generally refers to the punishment of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, which really makes people take the big blame for the "factory guard". Compared with them, the Ministry of Criminal Justice really responds to the above "it is no less than the joy of heaven". It means that compared with the "Edict Prison of Jinyiwei", the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is the same beautiful place as "heaven and earth". The torture of "factory guards" is so horrible that it exists like hell. Cao Muwen's punches and kicks, plus a knife stuffed in his mouth, just to scare Wang De, who is small and professional. If he doesn't do some work, he can't stand him at the moment. If a person like Wang De really encounters the legendary "factory guard torture", Cao Muwen thinks that he can't even stand the first one, he will be finished.

"The Third Edition" also mentioned that in the first month of Hong Wu's 20th year, Mr. Zhu didn't know what was going on. He was very kind-hearted. It was estimated that the Buddha who slept at night to give him a dream. It is estimated that his conscience found that he actually ordered the burning of the brocade guards. The book records that "there are sometimes rich people in prison, and the use of them is illegally abused. When the emperor heard this, he said angrily: 'Xunyan, the law department, or let the brocade guard judge it, if you want to get his love first. How can you make him exercise?' The executive governs it. Burn his torture tools." Interrogation is also interrogation; exercise, that is, torture in today's detention center to extract confessions, which is to force people to death. From Zhu Yuanzhang's words, we can see that the Beizhen Fusi of Jinyiwei is only a investigation and interrogation agency, not a trial institution. Zhu Yuanzhang was aware of the problem of this institution, so he wanted to burn his instruments of torture and put him out of prison, because his torture was beyond ordinary people's imagination. However, the brocade guard is still working. For example, the Lanyu case was sued by Jinyiwei in the 26th year of Hongwu, that is, after the Lanyu case, the internal and external prison could not be sued by Jinyiwei. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang really realized how big the power of Jinyiwei was, how difficult it was to control, and the original idea of the old man who had left it. Although the Jinyiwei prison was abolished, the institution was still there, so he immediately resumed the position of Jinyiwei after Ming Chengzu's accession to the throne (grab the throne). Yes. Therefore, the History of the Ming Dynasty · Criminal Law said: "The ancestor ascended to the throne, spoiled the discipline, ordered the brocade guards to defend his own soldiers, and restored the edict to prison. Therefore, Gang used his party as a traitor, hundreds of thousands of people. For a long time, the clan has been in the class, and the brocade guards have been imprisoned as before. In the 14th year of Chenghua of Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty, "Increase the seal of the seal of the Fusi of the North Town, all prisons should not be related to Bai Benwei, that is, the subordinates of the guard also ask themselves, and the envoys of the guard should not be heard. Therefore, the position is inferior and its power is getting heavier and heavier. Because it can go directly to the emperor, although the Fusi of Beizhen belongs to Jinyiwei, it has actually become an independent unit for the management of the imperial edict prison. The emperor is not pro-government, so the power of life and death is in the hands of the eunuch who criticized Zhu by the ceremonial supervisor. In fact, this situation was not only during the reign of Emperor Xianzong, but also during the reign of Emperor Yingzong. Shen Defu's "Wanliye Edited · Prohibition Guard" said in Ma Shun's, "The servant told Liu Qiu's death in prison. Jinyi commanded Ma Shuncheng and Wang Zhen to order the small school to use the blade. The ball shouted that Taizu Taizong and received the blade. His body was stiff and fell down smoothly, and slamated it. He solved his branch and buried the rear." It can be seen that it is cruel to kill people with torture. Wang Zhen was the eunuch of Sili at the time of Emperor Yingzong. At the end of Shizong's Jiajing, Hai Rui was tortured by Jinyiwei, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice intended to hang him, but this title book was not issued, which saved Hai Rui's life. At that time, there was another household secretary He Yishang, who asked Hairui to forgive him, and Jiajing was angry again. He went to Jinyiwei Town to be in prison and ordered to be tortured day and night. At the beginning, he was tortured day and night, and there is no doubt that he would die. It coincided with Mu Zong's ascending to the extreme and amnesty, and he has been a eunuch for more than 20 years. Shen Defu asked why he could survive with torture day and night. Someone told him, "This punishment is inward with wooden cages and nails on all sides, making the prisoner to turn to the side and nail into his skin. The prisoner who was sentenced to this punishment is as dangerous as a puppet at 12 o'clock." Those who suffer this punishment are unbearable. Fusi of Jinyiwei North Town asked with torture, "usually Zhiyun asks questions, and the most important person adds the word "birth" and the most important one is Yunhao asks questions. One set of punishment must be used, and all of them have 18 kinds to try. In fact, only one or two of these 18 types of torture tools can kill people. Why use them all? In the end of the Ming Dynasty, the role played by Jinyiwei was still very bad. As a result of Emperor Chongzhen strengthening the rule of Jinyiwei's special agents, he accelerated the burial of his Ming Dynasty. Ming History · Criminal Law: "Zhenfu Liang Qinghong and Qiao can be compared with friends as evil. There must be several traces of people at the door of the gentry. Therefore, Chang Yan got up early and dared not say anything. If the flag school passes through the door, if it is stolen, the officials will share the benefits. The spy in the capital refers to the sneaking of the man who broke into Wang Li Zicheng. The servant's servant was sent by the thief, and there was no one to do, and the rich bureau of the high gate had no peace to live. His apprentices are begging, slightly brushing their intentions, flying to set up the frame, picking rods and pieces of words, and the plants are connected to more than a dozen people.

Cao Muwen has a great understanding of the various means of Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, and he is also one of them. I remember that Cao Muwen first saw the introduction of the 18 torture of Jinyiwei, and the more famous "Ten Tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty" that was improved according to these "great inventions". Cao Muwen didn't know what others were doing, but he saved several meals after reading it for the first time.

Cao Muwen once laughed at himself that he was not a funny thing, but "good" and "bad" are relative. Compared with another person, it is good or bad. If there are rules and judgment standards, it is easy to distinguish, but it is difficult to distinguish between absolute "good" and "bad", because you don't know how bad it is really bad at home, and how good it is like a bodhisattva. Cao Muwen once self-prouded as a "bastard" and gave up a little self-abandoned, but since he came to the Ming Dynasty, even if he didn't want to have any "sense of superiority", he had to control his "good" heart and made the "sensense of superiority" fly straight to the sky like riding a rocket.
