Chapter 527 Information obtained!

After a moment's silence, Wang Xuecheng's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he gave Jiang Le a rough instruction:
"Lead the way, I'm going to meet this Chen Sanbiao..."

"Yes!"

After a cup of tea, under the guidance of Jiang Le, Wang Xuecheng came to the underground cell in the yard. The dungeon was not large, only about two meters long and one meter wide. A middle-aged man with disheveled hair, his head lowered, his face unclear, and blood all over his body was hung on the wall with his limbs chained.

Not far from the prisoner, there were two guards staring at him. When they saw Wang Xuecheng and his group, although they did not know Wang Xuecheng, they saw their captain Jiang Le's respectful look and understood that this was a high-ranking official, so they immediately bowed and greeted him:
"grown ups!"

Wang Xuecheng ignored this and turned his attention to the prisoner hanging on the wall. Seeing this, Jiang Le quickly introduced:
"This man is Chen Sanbiao. After we captured him, he tried to commit suicide several times. We had no choice but to hang him on the wall and assign someone to guard him again!"

Listening to Jiang Le's introduction, Wang Xuecheng still ignored it and continued to look at Chen Sanbiao.

Although there were a lot of noises in the dungeon because of his appearance, Chen Sanbiao seemed to be indifferent. He closed his eyes tightly as if he was in meditation, not paying any attention to the changes around him.

Seeing this, Wang Xuecheng turned around and ordered:

"Take him out and shave his hair for me. It looks so messy..."

Although Jiang Le was somewhat puzzled as to what Wang Xuecheng wanted to do, since the deputy director had already given the order, as a subordinate, he had no choice but to obey orders and said:

"I understand, I will do it now!"

Chen Sanbiao, who was hanging on the wall, listened to how Wang Xuecheng treated him. Although he still did not open his eyes to look at Wang Xuecheng, his expression showed some imperceptible fluctuations. Obviously, his inner world was not as calm as he appeared at this moment.

As a centurion of the Coordination Office, Jiang Le's execution and efficiency were also very good. It only took him half an incense stick of time to bring the bald Chen Sanbiao to Wang Xuecheng. Seeing that Wang Xuecheng seemed to be looking at the bloodstains on Chen Sanbiao's head, Jiang Le said a little embarrassedly:

"Sir, there is a curfew outside now, and there is no barber to be found, so the subordinates shaved him themselves. Please forgive me if the shave is not good!"

Wang Xuecheng waved his hand and said:

"That's fine. I've found a tree over there. You can tie him to it for me!"

After he finished speaking, Wang Xuecheng stretched out his hand and pointed to a big tree in the yard. Although Jiang Le was confused and still couldn't understand what method Wang Xuecheng was using to pry open Chen Sanbiao's mouth, he could only nod and do as he was told. He called on people to follow Wang Xuecheng's instructions and escort Chen Sanbiao to the direction of the big tree...

At this time, not only Jiang Le had doubts in his heart, but Chen Sanbiao, who was being held captive, also felt a little uneasy about the unknown that would follow. Although he had already made up his mind to die for the safety of his family after being caught, he was also very clear that in order to pry open his mouth and dig out the Ma family's deployment, these living devils in the Coordination Office would stop at nothing and use all kinds of cruel means on him.

The torture and iron branding in the beginning were okay, as he had been in the underworld for so many years that he could still withstand it. But when it came to the water torture that came later, he was really about to collapse. At first, he didn't look down on water torture, thinking that he had already withstood torture and iron branding, so what could a piece of rag and some water do to him?
However, after only experiencing that kind of suffocating despair once, Chen Sanbiao's will began to waver. The reason why he managed to hold on for more than twenty times after waking up from sleep was because he thought of his family and children, who were all under the control of the Ma family. If he did not hold on, his family would be treated inhumanely.

Although Chen Sanbiao finally persevered thanks to the support of his family, he had to admit that he was almost unable to hold on during the last waterboarding. Fortunately, at that time, Jiang Le looked at him dying and was worried that he might kill Chen Sanbiao. He was still hoping to dig out some useful information from Chen Sanbiao to climb up in the Coordination Office, so he stopped waterboarding Chen Sanbiao.

Although he didn’t know what would happen to him next, Chen Sanbiao had a vague feeling that a more cruel punishment than water torture was waiting for him. As he was tied to the tree, this punishment became more and more intense in his heart...
Although he still wanted to pretend, his survival instinct made Chen Sanbiao open his eyes. The person who appeared in front of him was Wang Xuecheng, who was dressed as a scholar. Seeing Chen Sanbiao finally open his eyes, Wang Xuecheng smiled slightly, looked at him with interest and said:
"The highest record of water torture for all prisoners captured by our Coordination Office is 23 times. Congratulations on raising this record to 30 times. With this achievement, you can also leave your name in our Coordination Office, so I decided to give you an extra reward!"

Although Wang Xuecheng's smile gave people a feeling of spring breeze, Chen Sanbiao was very clear about the cruelty behind the other's smile. Facing Wang Xuecheng's gaze, he pretended to be tough and said:

"You can't get anything from me!"

Wang Xuecheng continued to smile as he heard this:
"Do you know why I tied you to this big tree?"

Without waiting for Chen Sanbiao to speak, Wang Xuecheng asked and answered his own question:

“Because I am going to experiment on you with a kind of punishment that I have never tried before and only seen in classics. Chen Sanbiao, you should be happy. You will be the pioneer of this punishment. Your punishment process will be recorded. In the words of our commander-in-chief, your death is meaningful. So I may not get the information from you, but I have not gained nothing. At least I have tried this punishment…”

"Speaking of which, Chen Sanbiao, I have to thank you. I have wanted to try this for a long time, but unfortunately, those prisoners fell into water torture before I could use it. Now I finally have a tough guy like you as a test subject!"

Chen Sanbiao, who remained calm despite being beaten, scolded and insulted, felt a little frightened when he saw Wang Xuecheng's sincere expression. However, when he thought of his family, he pretended to be calm and snorted coldly and said:

"Whatever tricks you have, just try them out on your grandpa. If your grandpa frowns, I'm not named Chen!" Facing Chen Sanbiao's insults, the smile on Wang Xuecheng's face not only did not fade, but became even brighter. He could feel that Chen Sanbiao was beginning to panic. He was using provocation to force himself to give him a quick death so that he could quickly dig out information from him.

Wang Xuecheng reached out to his brother-in-law Ye Musheng, who immediately understood and took the bulging oil-paper bag tied with a rope beside him and handed it to Wang Xuecheng. After taking the oil-paper bag, Wang Xuecheng slowly untied the rope tied to the oil-paper bag and said to himself:
"Chen Sanbiao, do you know why I chose this one among so many big trees in this yard?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xuecheng untied the rope on the oil paper bag, only to see some white cane sugar inside. When Chen Sanbiao was still confused, Wang Xuecheng smiled at him, then picked up some sugar and sprinkled it under the tree, and then sprinkled some sugar on Chen Sanbiao's body...
Following Wang Xuecheng's actions, Chen Sanbiao's face turned pale instantly, and he understood what Wang Xuecheng wanted to do. At this time, Wang Xuecheng continued to sprinkle sugar on Chen Sanbiao and said:
"Chen Sanbiao, you are so lucky. This bag of sugar costs one tael of silver. How about I treat you well?"

Chen Sanbiao, who had already felt a lot of ants and insects crawling towards him under his feet, lured by the sugar, gritted his teeth and said:
"Give me a quick death... I beg you!"

Looking at Chen Sanbiao who was begging desperately, Wang Xuecheng shook his head and said slowly:

"You know this is not what I want to hear, and you know very well that you can survive by saying anything! Make a decision quickly, or else when all these little things get into your body, even if you want to say it, I won't be able to save you!"

Listening to Wang Xuecheng's words, Chen Sanbiao wanted to hold on a little longer, but when these ants and insects began to bite his skin and drill into his flesh through his torture wounds, the extreme pain made his whole body tremble. However, even so, his family occupied an important position in his heart, so he still forced himself to say to Wang Xuecheng:

"I tell you you can, but you have to ensure the safety of my family! Save them from the Ma family!"

Seeing that Chen Sanbiao still wanted to bargain, Wang Xuecheng subconsciously narrowed his eyes and wanted to refuse, but seeing the determination in Wang Xuecheng's eyes, and thinking about the order given to him by the Marshal and this matter, Wang Xuecheng made a wise choice and said:

"I agree to your request!"

"I want you to swear! Swear a poisonous oath!"

Chen Sanbiao roared with all his strength:
Wang Xuecheng was furious when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he was forced to accept Chen Sanbiao's request and raised his hand and swore:
"I will ensure the safety of your family and rescue them from the Ma family. If you break this oath, you will die a horrible death!"

Listening to Wang Xuecheng's oath, a look of relief emerged in Chen Sanbiao's eyes, and Wang Xuecheng waved his hand, and the men from the Coordination Office beside him stepped forward and rescued Chen Sanbiao...
After an incense stick of time, Wang Xuecheng got the information he wanted and nodded with satisfaction. At this time, the doctor who came also reported to him:

"Sir, Chen Sanbiao is seriously injured and it is difficult for us to provide him with better treatment with the medical conditions here. If we want to save him, we have to send him to Yijing!"

Listening to the doctor's words, Wang Xuecheng thought of Chen Sanbiao's coercion just now, and a trace of annoyance appeared in his eyes and he said:
"Is Chen Sanbiao qualified to go to Yijing to treat him? We have already gotten what we wanted from him. Giving him a quick death is the greatest kindness our Coordination Office can show him!"

After saying that, Wang Xuecheng gave Jiang Le beside him a look. Instructed by Wang Xuecheng, Jiang Le walked directly into the room without any hesitation. The next second, a trace of blood was splashed on the window paper.

·······························
·······························
Just when the storm was about to come in Yijing, a new round of war broke out in Shunping area hundreds of miles away!
"Kill! Kill these bastards!"

"Brothers, it's time to serve Marshal Ye!"

"The superiors have ordered that the heads of these bastards from the Yan army be paid one ounce of silver per head!"

············
············
Under the cover of the roar of the red cannon, countless Fengwu Army soldiers, holding shields, launched an attack on the earthen stronghold guarded by the Yan Army in front of them.

Although the Yan army soldiers guarding the earthen stronghold had tried their best to consolidate it, some gaps still appeared in the earthen wall under the bombardment, and these gaps became the focus of attack by the Fengwu army soldiers.

Although they lacked large-caliber artillery to fight against the Fengwu Army, the Yan army's fighting will was still very tenacious when besieging their hometown. Relying on the favorable terrain and built fortifications, they used muskets, bows and arrows, and tiger squat cannons to block the Fengwu Army layer by layer. For a time, they fought back and forth with the Fengwu Army, which frustrated the Fengwu Army's offensive.

Seeing that the earthen stronghold in front of them could not be conquered for a long time, the battle situation reached a stalemate, and the soldiers on the front line began to suffer heavy casualties. After finally getting a chance to fight, Chen Chuanwu, who wanted to redeem himself for meritorious service, could not sit still. He thought of Ma Zhongjun beside him and asked for a fight:
"General Ma, the situation is tense ahead. I, Chen, would like to lead my soldiers into battle to kill the enemy!"

Facing Chen Chuanwu's earnest request, Ma Zhongjun just glanced at him coldly and said:
"No!"

Seeing that his request was rejected so straightforwardly by Ma Zhongjun, Chen Chuanwu couldn't help but get even more angry, and immediately wanted to say something else, but before he could open his mouth, Ma Zhongjun's cold eyes appeared on him again and said:

"I am the commander of this battle!"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Chuanwu was speechless like a deflated balloon. He retreated dejectedly and looked at the battle situation in front of him helplessly. Seeing him like this, Ma Zhongjun nodded imperceptibly. He knew that Chen Chuanwu was not hopeless. Chen Chuanwu was not without brains, but he was more accustomed to using his extraordinary force to solve problems. However, the problem is that times have changed······················
