Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 99 Interrogation of the Governor

Tangning naturally knew that Le Maire was the Governor General. Before meeting Le Maire, he had already had the officers interrogated.

He wasn't afraid that those guys wouldn't tell the truth. Although Tangning wasn't a master of interrogation, he also knew some effective interrogation methods in later generations through various channels.

Moreover, in this era, there is no shortage of interrogation masters. With the combination of the two, these people who are not tough in the first place can't bear it, and they have to speak up one by one.

Of course, those people certainly didn't know as much information as Le Maire, so after getting rid of those people, Tangning showed off to Le Maire.

Tangning looked at Le Maire and said calmly, "Mr. Maier, I like honest people. Next, I hope you can open up and tell me everything you know."

"Only in this way can I treat you sincerely like a friend."

Le Maire said with an ugly face: "You Daming people are not those barbarians, so you need to give those who put down their weapons the most basic respect."

Tangning smiled and said, "Of course, we Daming people are not barbarians. But you are."

Le Melton was furious and retorted: "We come from the great inter-provincial republic, we have the most advanced civilization, the most powerful caravan, and the greatest wealth..."

After listening to what Le Maire said, Tangning couldn't help but kept nodding her head. Then she said seriously, "One thing you missed is that you are still the most powerful bandits, savage bandits."

Le Maiton was speechless and turned his head to one side.

"Tell me what you know, all the information about you in the Far East, including the personnel, trade, army, etc. of your colonies in each place."

Le Maire was silent.

"Don't tell me, you don't know at all. If you can't remember it for a while, you can start with the officials you are most familiar with."

Le Maire still did not answer.

Tangning shook her head helplessly and said, "It seems that this kind of comfortable place is not suitable for questioning, let's find another place."

After finishing speaking, Tangning stood up and walked out. Two translators followed quickly, and several soldiers immediately set up Le Maire.

"What are you doing?" Le Maire yelled, but no one paid any attention to him.

Not long after, a group of people appeared in a dark torture room, and a middle-aged man with a short beard hurriedly greeted him cautiously, "My lord."

"Fan Qian, it's up to you, go and help me interrogate."

"Yes, my lord, you go to the prison hall to rest first, and leave the rest to the subordinate officials." Fan Qianshi was very humble.

This Fan Qianshi's real name is Fan Zhicheng, and he was originally from Jinyiwei, but he is just a small hundred household.

After Tang Ning entered Fucheng, for the sake of local stability, although he did not raid corrupt officials and rich households on a large scale, he still caught some typical examples.

Therefore, it is necessary to use some talents in prison, and this person was discovered by Xiao Wu.

After using it for a while, Tangning felt that it was relatively easy, so she asked him to do the work of the procurator in Chaozhou Prefecture, a fifth-rank post.

Although the official position was only promoted from the sixth rank to the fifth rank, Fan Zhicheng was greatly surprised and worked harder.

Because everyone knows that being able to be used by Mr. Tang is definitely the dream of the whole Chaozhou government. Fan Zhicheng is not the only member of Jinyiwei who has been cast under Mr. Tang's command.

Now that the dynasty will be gone, Jin Yiwei's influence cannot be compared in the same breath. It would be a great honor even to become a dog under Lord Tang's command.

Fan Zhicheng bowed and watched Tangning walk towards the prison hall. Then with a wave of his hand, several of his men took Le Maire from the soldier.

Le Maire was terrified and howled: "What are you going to do? What are you going to do?"

But he spoke Dutch, and the translator would naturally not translate for him at this time, so no one could understand him at all.

Not long after, Le Maire's mournful howl came from the torture room.

Tangning, on the other hand, was sitting leisurely on a chair with her eyes closed and meditating.

After just one stick of incense, Le Maire was dragged over like a dead dog, but his will was clear.

Seeing Tangning, Le Maire was terrified and angry, "You are devils, you are devils, the Lord will never forgive you."

Fan Zhicheng's expression darkened, but Tangning didn't care. She smiled and said, "Mr. Maier, are you willing to answer my question now?"

Le Maire shed tears of humiliation, and when he saw Fan Zhicheng reaching out to grab him, he hurriedly said in horror: "Answer, answer."

"Very well, first tell me your current age."

"41 years old, I am 41 years old now." Le Maire replied quickly.

Tangning nodded appreciatively, "Very good, very good, very good, this kind of honesty is needed."

"Where do you live at home in the Federal Republic of the Netherlands?"

Le Maire was taken aback. He didn't know the meaning of Tangning's question, but he answered it honestly.

Then, Tangning asked a few more questions about Le Maire's hometown, including his wife's name, how many children, etc., without any pain.

"How many other officers are there?" Tangning asked suddenly.

Le Maire's face changed, he hesitated a little and said, "There are still about 500 people."

Tangning's expression turned cold immediately, and she waved to Fan Zhicheng who was beside her.

Fan Zhicheng immediately dragged Le Maire down again without saying a word, Le Maire howled in horror.

When Le Maire was dragged out again, he had already lost half his life.

Tangning stopped talking nonsense and continued to ask questions. He took the trouble to ask the questions he had asked before in confusion.

I don't know if Le Maire was being honest, or he didn't care to tell Tangning about these things, but his answer this time was the same as last time.

When Tangning asked again how many people they had in Dayuan, Le Maire hesitated for a moment before saying, "100 people."

Tangning said with a stern expression, "Mr. Maier, I hope you can answer the question quickly, otherwise, I can only think that you are fabricating a lie to deceive me."

Le Maire nodded numbly.

Tangning continued to ask, "How can I enter the officials safely?"

Le Maire quickly announced a waterway. Tangning's face was slightly cold, and she said, "I don't need to enter the eastern waterway. I need to enter the safe waterway of Zeelandia City and Chikan City."

Le Maire hesitated for a moment, but Tangning waved her hand directly, and Fan Zhicheng was about to drag Le Maire away.

Tangning said directly, "There's no need to drag it away, it's here."

"Yes, my lord." Fan Zhicheng replied quickly.

Then, he confessed to the jailers behind him, and they immediately went in and took out several sets of torture instruments.

Le Maire roared in horror and anger, but no one paid attention.

What Fan Zhicheng used was a set of simple and practical torture tools, which were pinches for pinching the female prisoner's fingers. This simple torture tool was very common in Daming, but Le Maire, a foreigner, had never tried it before today.

Seeing the scorpion being brought over, Le Maire seemed to have seen a devil. He had already been shadowed by this small wooden torture device, and he tried his best to escape.

Two jailers stepped forward, beat him down with a stick, and then crossed his backside with two water and fire sticks, pinning him firmly to the ground so that he could not move.

Two more guards came up, grabbed his arm from left to right, and put their ten fingers into the scorpion.

Immediately, the two grabbed the rope and pushed hard to both sides.

Fingers connected to heart, Le Maire immediately howled like a pig: "Ah..."
