Su Fei sneered in his heart, and then gave deep instructions to the jailer who was waiting on the side.
"Go and find me the person in Imperial Prison who is best at punishment and can pry open the mouths of tough men."
"Yes, Sir Commander."
The jailer immediately turned around and walked away quickly.
Not long after, an old man carrying a brown medicine box followed the jailer and walked in.
This old man has white beard and hair, wears simple blue casual clothes, and walks steadily. He is completely different from the other jailers in Imperial Prison who wear uniform clothes.
Su Fei's eyes paused on the old man's casual clothes, his brows furrowed slightly, and he felt a little confused.
The person in charge of punishment in Imperial Prison should be wearing the uniform of a jailer. How could he be such an old man in civilian clothes?
The jailer next to him immediately noticed the change in Su Fei's expression, and quickly stepped forward and explained respectfully.
"Commander, please don't get me wrong. Although this person is not the official jailer of Heavenly Prison, he is our prison doctor. His surname is Hu and he is known as Doctor Hu."
"What he is best at is the Golden Needle Acupoint Piercing technique. It can not only cure diseases and save people, but also stimulate acupuncture points through silver needles, making people feel extreme pain."
"Even a hard-core prisoner who encounters Doctor Hu's Golden Needle Acupoint Piercing technique will have to confess obediently."
"In many difficult cases before, Doctor Hu was used to pry open the prisoner's mouth."
After listening to the jailer's explanation, Su Fei's doubts immediately dissipated.
He nodded and looked at Doctor Hu.
"Doctor Hu, thank you for your hard work, let's do it."
Doctor Hu nodded slightly, without any unnecessary expression on his face, walked straight to the open space in the center of the interrogation hall, and put down the brown medicine box on his back.
He opened the lid of the medicine box, and there was a layer of red velvet inside. There were a row of silver needles of different lengths arranged neatly on the velvet. The needles were as thin as cow hair.
I saw Doctor Hu take out a small copper fire folder from the side of the medicine box, and it ignited a faint blue flame with a gentle blow.
He then picked up three one-inch long silver needles from the flannel cloth and placed them over the fire to slowly roast them.
The silver needle was roasted in the fire until it turned slightly red. After baking for about three breaths, Doctor Hu removed the silver needle, blew out the fire, and put it back into the medicine box.
After being roasted at high temperature, the impurities on the silver needle were removed, and at the same time, the silver needle also gained a touch of scorching temperature.
After getting ready, Doctor Hu held the silver needle and walked slowly to Li Zhong.
At this time, Li Zhong was still leaning on the torture pillar, his head tilted to one side, and he was still muttering intermittently.
"My belongings, gold bars, and silver are all mine. Return them to me quickly."
He looked like he was completely immersed in his own world.
Doctor Hu was not surprised by this. He stretched out a hand and first pressed Li Zhong's shoulder.
Holding the freshly roasted silver needles in his right hand, his eyes accurately focused on several acupuncture points on the back of Li Zhong's neck and shoulders.
With a movement of his wrist, the silver needle penetrated into the acupuncture point, and only a small part of the needle tail was exposed, standing firmly outside Li Zhong's skin.
The moment the silver needle entered the body, Li Zhong's body trembled.
But he soon returned to his previous crazy state, and the muttering in his mouth did not stop.
Doctor Hu After inserting all the silver needles, he stood aside calmly and spoke slowly.
"My Golden Needle Acupoint Piercing is divided into three stages. Now is the first stage, which will last ten to twenty seconds. In this stage, you will only feel some itching all over your body. There is no pain. Every prisoner can easily endure this stage and enter the next stage."
His voice was calm as he continued.
"In the second stage, the acupuncture points all over your body will start to feel tingling, and the tingling will become more and more intense, from a subtle needle pricking sensation to like countless small knives cutting your flesh at the same time. In the final stage, it will spread to every inch of skin on your body."
"I have never seen anyone survive to the end. No matter you are pretending to be crazy or really crazy, I believe that the sting of this second stage can make you wake up completely."
"As for this third stage, I'm sure you don't want to know what it is."
Wait until twenty seconds have passed.
Li Zhong, who was still mumbling nonsense, suddenly froze.
His tilted head was slightly raised, his distracted eyes were focused for the first time, his brows were wrinkled unconsciously, and the drool at the corner of his mouth stopped flowing.
It was just a slight discomfort at first, but soon, the fine tingling sensation came like a tide, spreading from the acupuncture point where the silver needle penetrated, sweeping across his shoulders and back in an instant.
Li Zhong's expression gradually changed from stiff to serious, beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, and his face slowly turned from pale to slightly red.
He gritted his teeth tightly, trying to cover up the pain with silence, but as the stinging sensation became stronger and stronger, his teeth began to chatter uncontrollably and his breathing became rapid.
After a few more breaths, the second stage of severe pain completely broke out.
Li Zhong's eyes were instantly bloodshot, and his eyes were rounded. The sluggishness he had when he was pretending to be crazy completely disappeared, and was replaced by unbearable pain.
He couldn't bear it anymore, and there was a suppressed groan in his throat, which soon turned into a heart-rending scream.
"Ah ah ah, it hurts, it hurts so much, it hurts in the seams of my bones."
His body twisted violently, trying to break free from the restraints of the rope, but was tightened by the rope, and his skin and flesh were bruised by the rope.
The previous words of talking about wealth have long been forgotten, and only painful wails can come out of his throat.
Su Fei sat above and saw everything clearly. He watched the whole process of Li Zhong from madness to pain revealing its true form.
This Doctor Hu really lived up to its reputation, and its methods were precise and ruthless. Only two stages of Golden Needle Acupoint Piercing completely exposed the disguise of Li Zhong.
Su Fei was very satisfied with Doctor Hu's professionalism and nodded slightly.
Su Fei sat in the main seat above and could clearly see the whole process of Li Zhong from pretending to be crazy to showing his true colors in pain.
He was very satisfied with the professionalism of Doctor Hu.
Su Fei signaled in a calm tone.
"Doctor Hu, please pause and leave the rest to me."
When Doctor Hu heard this, he naturally did not dare to disobey the command of Commander Imperial Guard. He quickly stepped forward and quickly pulled out several silver needles from Li Zhong's body with his fingertips flying.
The moment the silver needle left the body, Li Zhong's body suddenly relaxed, and the heartbreaking pain receded like the tide, leaving only aches and fatigue all over his body.
No longer tortured by severe pain, Li Zhong finally stopped his heart-rending screams and leaned against the torture pillar, breathing heavily as his chest heaved violently.
His eyes were still full of fear, and the look he looked at Doctor Hu was full of fear.
