Chapter 159 Torture to extract confessions
The sun slowly rises, and warm currents float around.
Xie Lingxiao seemed unaware and continued watching other teams test.
The clean basin is getting closer and closer. Even if it is slow, it will eventually arrive.
Wang Ning's palms were covered with sweat due to nervousness, and his hands kept loosening and tightening.
Shen Jingxuan was not in a hurry. She looked at him quietly, waiting for the moment he put his hand into the basin.
Wang Ning stood there for a long time, as if he had made up his mind, closed his eyes, and quickly put his hand into the basin.
Before he opened his eyes and withdrew his hand, the water in the basin had visibly changed color.
"Hiss." The people nearby gasped.
Anyone who sees someone who lives with his brothers day and night poisoning them would be frightened and break out in a cold sweat.
The people nearby glared at Wang Ning, their eyes gradually turning red.
Especially those who were in the same tent with Wang Ning were shocked and frightened.
The brother who slept on the same bed with them every day turned out to be a vicious person.
If he attacked them while they were sleeping, would they be alive?
"Wang Ning, you bastard."
The man in the same tent with Wang Ning couldn't bear the fear in his heart and roared.
He raised his fist and punched Wang Ning in the face.
Wang Ning heard the shouting and looked up. Before he could see who it was, he was punched and blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Why the hell did you hit me?" Wang Ning wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and looked at the person who hit him.
"Why? I'm going to beat you to death." He continued to move forward.
The other soldiers around him hurriedly grabbed him.
There will be severe punishment for causing trouble in the military camp. No matter what Wang Ning did, he will be dealt with according to military regulations, and it is not their turn to intervene.
If he disregards military rules and takes private action to resolve the problem, he will be punished with the same crime as the person who committed the offense, so they must stop him.
The deputy general looked at the chaotic scene and stopped it in time: "Stop."
Wang Ning and the people who beat him were still angry, but they had to stop and looked at the deputy general.
"Capture Wang Ning and let him be punished. The others can continue testing," the deputy general ordered.
Not only were the brothers who stayed together angry, the deputy general was also furious, and the others were even more furious.
If they were not concerned about military regulations, they would also want to beat Wang Ning up like Zhao Qi did.
They did not think Zhao Qi had done anything wrong. Instead, they felt that he was true to his nature and could vent his anger without restraint.
Unlike them, I am concerned about military regulations and worried about being punished. Even if I am full of anger, I can only endure it.
At the deputy general's order, a group of people rushed forward. The braver ones even secretly made a move to capture Wang Ning.
Even if others saw it, not only would they not say anything, they would also use their bodies to cover it up, allowing them to punch them a few more times.
The group finally took Wang Ning away, and the people behind continued to move forward for testing.
After what just happened, the team sped up.
Those who were calm in their hearts walked forward quickly, and after a quick test, made room for the brothers behind them.
The timid people became more afraid and hesitated to move forward.
"Li Hai, hurry up, I'm in a hurry to go to the toilet." It was soon his turn, and I didn't know why Li Hai was hesitating.
Li Hai was suddenly called and was startled. Looking at the clean basin so close to him, he ran away.
"Catch him." the deputy general shouted.
With an order, nearby soldiers surrounded and blocked Wang Hai's way.
The soldiers who had not left after the test had been waiting for this moment, so how could they let him escape so easily?
Even if they were not there, the people queuing behind him didn't need to chase him. If they moved a little, Wang Hai would have nowhere to escape.
Xie Lingxiao looked at the people still standing in the team and said coldly, "Who else? If you take the initiative to stand up, the punishment will be reduced."
After he finished speaking, the team fell silent, and still no one took the initiative to step forward.
He glanced at the remaining people: "No one?"
Xie Lingxiao sneered: "Use the military sticks, interrogate the two of them, and beat them until they reveal their companions. If they refuse to tell, they will be beaten to death."
If they don't stand up, he won't have to reduce the punishment, which will make the soldiers feel unwilling.
If he doesn't stand up, he will be severely punished if he is exposed later, and it will also be a way for the soldiers to vent their anger.
Soon, someone brought benches and military sticks and made all preparations.
They just need to wait for the order so that they can strike hard and beat the person who poisoned them.
Shen Jingxuan looked at the soldiers who had finished the test.
Almost everyone of them held a military stick and stood in a line behind the bench where Wang Ning and Li Hai were lying, looking at the two of them with anger on their faces.
Looking at their posture, it seemed as if they were going to beat both of them to death with a military stick.
As Xie Lingxiao waved his hand, the man standing in the front took a step forward, raised his military stick and started hitting.
Shen Jingxuan didn't hear any shouting. When she looked closely, she found that the considerate soldiers had already blocked their mouths. She couldn't help but twitching the corners of her lips.
They had made all the preparations and were just waiting for the moment to swing the military sticks.
After being hit several times with the military stick, Wang Ning and Li Hai were shaking with pain, but their mouths were blocked and they could not make any sound.
When the soldiers behind saw that the first man was about to continue beating him, they stepped forward, pushed him away, and hit him hard with their military sticks.
The soldiers came forward one by one, and the military sticks fell again and again. Wang Ning and Li Hai finally couldn't bear it and fainted.
Pour cold water over your body, mixed with salt and chili powder.
The moment it fell on them, the two of them suddenly woke up, their eyes suddenly widened, and their faces became extremely distorted.
"Mmm...mm...mm..." The two of them made sounds in pain.
Before the two men could say anything else, a new round of beatings with military sticks followed.
The people in the team were already trembling all over, and the only remaining glimmer of hope allowed them to stand still.
Seeing Wang Ning and Li Hai fainting again, one of the team members finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.
The soldiers holding military sticks did not need to thank Ling Xiao for his order. They actively stepped forward to drag the man away and pressed him onto the bench, and then the military sticks fell.
When Wang Ning and Li Hai were woken up again, their mouths were free.
The pain of their skin being torn apart, coupled with the spray of salt water mixed with chili water, made their pain multiply, and they couldn't help but tremble all over.
Xie Lingxiao said impatiently: "Being beaten to death or telling the truth, which one do you two have to choose?"
After checking all night, it was already dawn and Xie Lingxiao had lost his patience.
From last night till now, he and Shen Jingxuan hadn't even had a sip of hot water. If they continued to waste time, they would miss lunch.
"Say..." Wang Ning grimaced in pain.
The soldiers were on high alert, waiting for the two men to give up their companions so that they could capture them on the spot.
The two of them spoke one after another and called out seven names one after another. The soldiers swarmed forward and controlled several people in an instant.
The deputy general looked at everything in front of him in shock. He didn't expect that there were ten people involved.
Xie Lingxiao asked angrily: "Are there any more?"
Without waiting for the two to shake their heads, he continued, "If you can't confess truthfully, then continue to fight."
The two men who were frightened by the beating looked at each other and knew that if they didn't confess everything today, they would not be able to pass this test.
Shen Jingxuan stared at the motionless people in the crowd and shook her head secretly.
Perhaps he was sure that he would not be exposed, for he stood there calmly, a smile on his lips, watching everything in front of him.
A few more names were called out, and the man's smile instantly froze on his face.
Xie Lingxiao ordered his deputy general: "Deal with him according to military regulations."
In the distance, Ling Feng had already delivered all the herbs and was waiting there to report the situation.
The biggest problem was solved, the person who poisoned the food was caught, and Xie Lingxiao's original worried look had long gone.
After he had arranged everything, he took Shen Jingxuan away.
