404 Extorting a confession by torture
"Are you sure you read it right?" Li Dian asked in disbelief at the personal soldiers he sent out.
The personal soldier nodded and said, "I have followed the general for a long time. Will I not even recognize the relatives around the general?"
Li Dian frowned. He never expected that he was going to investigate Mao Jie, but he found Yu Jin's body.
This incident was beyond his imagination. I thought Sun Yi was just contacting Mao Jie, but who knew that this incident had a turnaround. Sun Yi actually had a hookup with Yu Jin.
Li Dian has always been in charge of defense in the Xunyang River section. Someone secretly crossed from Jiangnan to Jiangbei under his nose. Others don’t know, how can he not know?
Since Sun Yi entered the Jiangbei area, Li Dian has been sending people to secretly monitor him, never alerting the snake. He just wanted to set up a long line and catch big fish to see what Sun Yi wanted to do.
Who knew that Sun Yi actually arrived in Xunyang City and went to Mao Jie's mansion, and then never showed up. Li Dian also suspected Mao Jie for this and felt that Mao Jie might have any ulterior motives. However, what Li Dian did not expect was that Sun Yi would appear in Jin's mansion.
No matter how Sun Yi went, he was sent out by Yu Jin's personal soldiers, which was enough to attract his attention. Who has any problems with Yu Jin and Mao Jie, or maybe the two of them were involved in the same industry?
Li Dian couldn't figure it out. If he really wanted to know the truth, he might have to ask Sun Yi.
So, after thinking about it, Li Diansi came up with a clever plan and decided to make a breakthrough from Sun Yi.
According to Li Dian's personal soldiers' reports, Sun Yi and Yu Jin's personal soldiers disguised as merchants and came to the river in a carriage, while Li Dian's personal soldiers rode fast horses and came back to report first.
So Li Dian had sufficient preparation time, but this action was not appropriate, so Li Dian just arranged five of his subordinates to come and handle the matter.
A quarter of an hour later, Yu Jin's personal soldiers brought Sun Yi to the riverside and said that Sun Yi was a friend of Yu Jin and wanted to cross the river, hoping that Li Dian's subordinates could send Sun Yi across the other side of the river.
Li Dian's subordinates said that he could not make the decision and needed to report Li Dian. Yu Jin's personal soldiers hurriedly stopped it and said that these trivial matters were not required to be reported. It was Yu Jin's order, and he took the initiative to give Li Dian's subordinates a piece of gold. After much persuasion, Li Dian's subordinates agreed to send Sun Yi across the other side.
So, Sun Yi followed Li Dian's subordinates to the riverside, untied a light boat with cables tied by the river, drove directly on the boat, and asked Sun Yi to get on the boat and wanted to send Sun Yi to the other side.
Yu Jin's personal soldiers personally sent Sun Yi to the boat and watched Sun Yi sail to Jiangxin. Then they left with confidence and went back to report to Yu Jin.
It was already twilight, and the afterglow of falling light shone on the river surface, reflecting dazzling lights. Sun Yi was tired for a day, closed his eyes gently, and lay in the cabin to rest.
After only one stick of incense, Sun Yi was almost asleep. Suddenly the boat shook for a while, as if it had hit something, and then stopped on the river.
Sun Yi hurriedly pulled open the curtains of the cabin and looked out, but saw a siege crossing the middle of the river and blocked the way of the light boat. Before Sun Yi could react, several soldiers jumped over from the siege and rushed into the cabin. Without saying a word, he rushed towards Sun Yi, pressed Sun Yi down in the cabin, and then took out a rope to tie him up.
Before Sun Yi could figure out the situation, he was tied up by others. Just as he was about to call out, a soldier actually stuffed his mouth directly, making him speechless.
At this moment, Li Dian walked into the cabin in armor, looked at Sun Yi who was tied up in many colors, and laughed and said, "I want to run away? With me here, do you think you, Xiaoxi, would you be so easy to get rid of?"
Sun Yi just hummed, but didn't know what he was going to say.
Li Dian asked someone to remove the stuff that was stuffed into Sun Yi's mouth. Sun Yi then said: "You have caught the wrong person. I am not Jixi, I am the friend of Governor Yu, a businessman. I want to go to the other side of the river to purchase some things..."
"Businessman? Haha! You are a 16 or 17-year-old boy. Can you be a businessman? You'd better not fool me, otherwise you will have something to eat with you." Li Dian sneered.
Sun Yi said: "I am really a businessman. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask the person who sent me. That person is the confidant of Governor Yu..."
"Okay, stop pretending. I have been paying attention to you for a long time. If you are not honest, don't blame me for being rude to you." As Li Dian said, he took out several torture instruments and directly pointed them in front of Sun Yi.
After Sun Yi looked at it, a hint of chill appeared on his face. He never thought that this would be the first time he was an envoy.
"I will start asking you now. You must answer honestly, otherwise I will torture you and make your life worse than death!" Li Dian said.
After all, Sun Yi was still very young and could not bear this change in his heart. He was so scared that his face looked like a slut, without Sun Ce's legacy at all.
"I'll ask you what your name is and what you're doing here!"
"My name is Zhang San, I am a famous merchant, I am here..."
Before Sun Yi could finish his words, Li Dian laughed and said, "You are stubborn, right? OK! Use torture!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Dian's subordinates immediately spread Sun Yi's hands on the tables in front of him. Li Dian took out a very sharp short blade, then pulled out a small bunch of hair from Sun Yi's head, making Sun Yi grin and grin.
Li Dian took the small bunch of hair and placed it directly on the short blade, then blew hard, and the hair was broken into two pieces.
After seeing it, Sun Yi was extremely surprised. He didn't expect that this short blade could break even after blowing his hair.
After performing the sharpness of the short blade, Li Dian held the short blade and lit it in front of Sun Yi and said to Sun Yi: "You should see the sharpness of the short blade. If you can't answer the question I asked honestly, I will cut off one of your fingers. If you are willing to cooperate with me, I will not only stop punishing you, but also let you go. Think carefully and only give you ten numbers."
After saying that, Li Dian began to count, but Sun Yi was extremely struggling in his heart.
When Li Dian counted to five, Sun Yi could no longer bear the torment in his heart and said directly: "I said, I said everything, as long as I know, I will tell you everything! I just want you to save my life!"
After all, Sun Yi was very young and had never experienced such an occasion. He had never followed Sun Jian and Sun Ce to fight together, so he was very afraid of death.
After hearing Sun Yi's words, Li Dian showed a faint smile on the corner of his mouth and began to ask Sun Yi's questions.
Sun Yi was honest and answered all the questions asked by Li Dian.
After hearing this, Li Dian frowned, and then he realized that Yu Jin had colluded with Sun Quan, and found a reply from Sun Yi. After taking it apart, he felt that it was of great importance and beyond his imagination. So Li Dian asked his confidant to take this reply to King Zhang Yan.
Although Sun Yi and Li Dian didn't know that Sun Yi was Sun Quan's younger brother, they detained Sun Yi as an envoy so that they could confront him in the future.
At the same time, Li Dian blocked the news, secretly detained Sun Yi, and quietly waited for Zhang Yan's orders in the water army camp.
...
Zhang Yan took Xu Chu back to Pengcheng. He had just crossed the Yangtze River and came to Guangling County. Before he had entered Guangling City, the county town of Guangling County, he received a letter sent by Li Dian.
After Zhang Yan opened it, he looked at it quickly, and immediately frowned, and was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He never expected that he had such a good deal of Jin, that Yu Jin had really started conspiring with the Sun family in Jiangdong, and Chen Deng's last words seemed to have come true.
However, Zhang Yan did not dare to act rashly. At this time, Yu Jin held heavy troops and was in the most critical position in Xunyang. If his actions were not thorough enough and Yu Jin knew about it, Yu Jin would definitely rebel.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yan made a decision and wrote a letter to Li Dian, telling Li Dian to let everything go and not to alert the enemy.
At the same time, Zhang Yan issued a series of transfer orders to mobilize troops nearby, asking Chen Ying and Lu Dai to lead troops to Xunyang, and wrote another letter to Yu Jin, informing Yu Jin that he was preparing to dispatch Chen Ying and Lu Dai to Xunyang to replenish his troops.
After these things were done, Zhang Yan also gave up the idea of returning to Pengcheng, making people bluff back to Pengcheng under his own banner, while he took Xu Chu and others to secretly go to Xunyang to deal with the accident.
Originally, Zhang Yan didn't want to move Yu Jin so early. After all, Yu Jin was a very talented person, but a letter from Li Dian sent him, which completely changed his mind. He felt that this unstable force must be removed as soon as possible, and the faster the better.
At the same time, Zhang Yan also looked at Li Dian with admiration, believing that Li Dian is the person who is loyal to him.
...
On the Xunyang River, the navy camp, Li Dian received a reply from Zhang Yan. After reading it, he smiled happily.
Li Dian felt that Zhang Yan's plan was very good. In the next few days, Li Dian kept secretly blocking the news and patiently waited for Zhang Yan's arrival.
On the fourth day, Zhang Yan rode a white dragon horse and finally arrived at Li Dian's camp. Li Dian hurriedly welcomed Zhang Yan's arrival, but did not make any statements. Zhang Yan stayed here and asked Li Dian about Yu Jin's affairs.
Li Dianzhi said everything and told Zhang Yan about Yu Jin's every move.
After Zhang Yan had some understanding of the ban, he made a decision to prepare for the ban plan, which could not only directly capture Yu Jin, but also eliminate the situation of military melee.
As long as you control Yu Jin, you will control the entire Xunyang. (To be continued.)
