Although Lu Yichuan never visited the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Shi Wenyi frequently went to the Eastern Depot.
Therefore, Shi Wenyi recognized Lu Yichuan.
When Shi Wenyi saw Lu Yichuan, he was startled. Had he done something wrong that the Eastern Depot had sent Lu Yichuan to interrogate him?
He couldn't afford to offend the Eastern Depot.
So he quickly and respectfully said, "Boss Lu, you've come so early in the morning, is there something the young master wants to tell you?"
Just as Lu Yichuan was about to speak, Li Yao suddenly ordered, "Lu Yichuan, take this suspect down!"
Without saying a word, Lu Yichuan subdued Shi Wenyi.
Shi Wenyi was completely bewildered. When did he become a suspect?
Chapter 139 Interrogation and Extraction of Confessions: The Wonderful Use of the Soul-Shifting Technique
Li Yao had already learned from Lu Yichuan that Shi Wenyi was also involved in framing Yang Yuxuan.
That's why he let Lu Yichuan take down Shi Wenyi.
Shi Wenyi, who was tied up, looked completely bewildered.
He questioned Lu Yichuan, "Director Lu, what crime have I committed that I am being treated this way?"
"Your humble servant?"
Lu Yichuan sneered and said, "Didn't you receive the imperial edict? You've already been dismissed from your post, what right do you have to call yourself a subordinate official?"
"Dismissed from office? I've been dismissed from office?"
Shi Wenyi was even more bewildered, and asked blankly, "When did this happen? How come I didn't know about it?"
Lu Yichuan pointed at Li Yao and said to Shi Wenyi, "This is the newly appointed commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. This is the imperial edict. Take a look."
As he spoke, Lu Yichuan took out the imperial edict and unfolded it for Shi Wenyi to see.
Shi Wenyi glanced at the imperial edict quickly, and was immediately shocked, collapsing to the ground.
He realized that the imperial edict was not a forgery.
In other words, his position as commander was indeed taken by someone else.
What's going on?
Wasn't Chief Cao of the Eastern Depot always protecting him?
Why did the Emperor suddenly dismiss him from his post as commander?
But who exactly is Li Yao, who is he, that he was able to steal his position as commander?
Could it be that Li Yao is with Lu Yichuan because he did something to displease Chief Cao, so Chief Cao found someone else to replace him?
But he doesn't seem to have done anything wrong!
Countless questions flashed through Shi Wenyi's mind.
Shi Wenyi asked Lu Yichuan, puzzled, "Eunuch Lu, why did His Majesty dismiss me from my position as commander? Does Chief Supervisor Cao have some misunderstanding about me?"
Lu Yichuan looked at Li Yao.
Li Yao said, "You should know this very well."
"I know?"
Shi Wenyi looked at Li Yao and asked, "What do I know?"
Li Yao said, "Did you fabricate evidence and falsely accuse Yang Yuxuan, the Minister of War?"
Shi Wenyi nodded subconsciously and said, "Yes, wasn't this what Supervisor Cao ordered me to do..."
At this point, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
The other party's wording seems a bit strange!
He stared intently at Li Yao and asked, "You're not one of Chief Supervisor Cao's men?"
"joke!"
Li Yao sneered and said, "What is Cao Zhengchun? He's not even worthy to carry my shoes."
Shi Wenyi was startled and looked at Lu Yichuan with utter astonishment, asking in a trembling voice, "Chief Lu, you...you..."
Lu Yichuan laughed and said, "Shi Wenyi, you guessed right. I have now abandoned the darkness and joined this wise and mighty commander."
Li Yao said calmly, "Shi Wenyi, I advise you to be honest and confess everything about how you colluded with Cao Zhengchun to frame Minister Yang."
Shi Wenyi's eyes darted around, and he lowered his head, vehemently denying, "I don't know what you're talking about."
No matter how Li Yao inquired, Shi Wenyi would only say one thing: "I don't know."
Shi Wenyi had only one thought in his mind: as long as he had Cao Zhengchun as his backer, and as long as he insisted that he knew nothing, Li Yao would be unable to do anything to him.
Li Yao had anticipated this.
He has many ways to deal with people like Shi Wenyi.
He decided to use the method he was best at and that was most effective.
That's the Soul Transfer Technique!
The Soul Transfer Technique can be considered the best method for interrogating criminals.
Li Yao smiled and quietly watched Shi Wenyi.
Shi Wenyi waited for a long time but did not hear Li Yao speak, so he raised his head in surprise and looked at Li Yao.
Suddenly, he felt that Li Yao's gaze was like a bottomless abyss, making it impossible for him to look away.
Immediately, he felt dizzy and lightheaded.
Li Yao asked, "Did you fabricate evidence and falsely accuse Yang Yuxuan, the Minister of War?"
Shi Wenyi's eyes were glazed over as he mechanically replied, "Yes!"
From then on, no matter what questions Li Yao asked, Shi Wenyi answered them honestly.
Finally, Li Yao said, "Write down exactly what you did to falsely accuse Yang Yuxuan."
As he spoke, he instructed Lu Yichuan to untie the ropes binding Shi Wenyi.
Shi Wenyi answered with a "Yes".
Then, like a puppet on strings, he wrote a confession under Li Yao's control.
Then, under Li Yao's instructions, he also signed and pressed his fingerprint.
Lu Yichuan, who was standing to the side, witnessed the whole process and was extremely shocked.
This was the second time he had seen Li Yao use such a miraculous and terrifying method.
Li Yao picked up Shi Wenyi's confession, nodded in satisfaction, and coughed lightly.
At this moment, Shi Wenyi suddenly woke up, looking completely bewildered.
I think I just fell asleep.
Li Yao laughed and said, "Shi Wenyi, you're honest enough to finally confess everything."
"ah?"
"confession?"
"Confess to what?"
Shi Wenyi was momentarily stunned, then sneered, "Heh heh, I advise you not to waste your time. I was once the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and I know this kind of trickery."
"Really? Take a look at this."
Li Yao showed Shi Wenyi the confession that Shi Wenyi had just written.
Shi Wenyi glanced at it disdainfully.
Immediately, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Shi Wenyi exclaimed in horror, "What...what's going on?"
The handwriting on the confession turned out to be his own.
The signature on the confession turned out to be his own.
There was also a handprint on the confession.
And there was ink on my fingers.
Moreover, he found himself holding a calligraphy brush in his hand.
Could it be that this confession was truly written by himself?
But how come I didn't know anything about it?
Shi Wenyi felt that this matter was too strange.
Then he realized that the ropes binding him were gone.
He was overjoyed and ran away as fast as he could.
laugh!
A burst of energy struck Shi Wenyi.
With a thud, Shi Wenyi fell to the ground.
Subsequently, Li Yao took over the Embroidered Uniform Guard with the help of an imperial edict.
Then, he summoned all the Imperial Guards of the rank of Junior Flag Officer and above in the capital to report to the Imperial Guard headquarters.
Next, he summoned each of these people individually and then used the Soul Transfer Technique to select some of the Embroidered Uniform Guards who could be retained.
The remaining Imperial Guards were mostly loyal to Cao Zhengchun.
Another part was actually planted by Zhu Wushi, the Iron-Blooded Marquis, within the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Actually, this is not surprising. Given Zhu Wushi's abilities, it would not be difficult for him to plant spies in the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
