Zhou Cang had carried the sword for Guan Yu for so long, and this was the first time he was interrogating a "prisoner", and the prisoner he was interrogating was a beggar.
Overnight, the entire Jiangling City was plastered with "fake notices."
Clearly, this was a deliberate move.
After some investigation, Zhou Cang identified a beggar.
Someone saw this beggar posting something on the city wall late at night.
Therefore, this beggar naturally became the breakthrough point in the "case".
Zhou Cang walked up to the desk and sat down.
When interrogating the prisoner, he was still a bit unfamiliar, and his lines were as thick as a mountain.
"Then they let you go?"
Although they are begging, they still have some rules.
The beggar sighed with emotion: "It's okay if you don't say anything. From now on, you don't want to see 'Hong Qigong' and his 'old man' anymore. He has already sent me some noodles and bedding. You
We kept the share specially."
For example... when begging, stay three steps away from others to avoid spreading bad luck and bad luck to others;
For another example, Guan Lin mentioned to them, "Don't let others know who he is? What he looks like!"
The beggar sheds tears, or the same sentence...
Ma Liang breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion: "Only by letting him go can we see who he is in contact with. Only then can we get some clues from their conversation and find out the mastermind behind this!"
After investigation, only this one was found. This was the only clue.
However, this only happened for a moment. Soon, he continued to shout at the officers and soldiers in front of the cell.
Zhou Cang's eyes widened, and he wanted to use these tiger eyes to scare the beggar in front of him.
This matter is too sensitive.
And whether it is Cao Jun or Soochow, they can make a big fuss out of this!
This is what Ma Liang is most worried about.
"Repaying a favor, and I'm afraid there are so many people involved behind him. Even if he is tortured, I'm afraid he won't confess, but..."
"May I have your name?"
In the early morning, the morning light is not yet clear.
As he spoke, the beggar patted Ergou on the shoulder repeatedly, and Ergou nodded sensibly.
With a "bang", Zhou Cang jumped up and said, "You know why they sent this general to interrogate you? It's because this general is the most impatient. If you don't take action..."
Zhou Cang's examination became more and more skillful, and his tone became colder.
Or Sun Quan from the east?
…
This is a trick!
"Bai Mei..." Guan Yu looked back at Ma Liang.
Ma Liang rolled his eyes and paused.
Soon, people in Jiangling City, Jiangxia, Guiyang, Changsha, and even the entire Jingzhou will know.
"It's just that he doesn't know about you yet, so we can't let our benefactor worry about it!"
There are heavy shackles, leather whips, and irons on the wall...
In ancient times, even beggars would practice this most basic principle. They had the simplest bottom line. They would never betray anyone who gave them food and clothing.
Is it Cao Cao from the north?
Beggars gathered in twos and threes outside the cell door of Jiangling City.
This time it was because I didn't pay attention and I said the three words "Hong Qigong" too much.
Ergou shook his head and whispered: "I understand the rules, I didn't say anything."
If he doesn't recruit, he will be the only one who suffers, but if he does, those brothers who are begging together, and... and that "young master" will all suffer, and he knows this clearly.
The beggar named "Er Gou" kept shaking his head, "Master, I, I don't know what the master is asking about?"
…
The beggars naturally respect him and always use "old man" instead of "old man" whenever they mention Guan Lin.
"It's better to let him go than to torture him!"
"Two dogs!"
What made him even more nervous was that in the next cell, Guan Yu, Ma Liang, Guan Ping, Guan Xing and others were guarding there.
"What do you think?" Guan Yu sighed.
"You don't know what the official is talking about?"
After ten breaths of silence, he waved his big hand and chanted:
"Guan Gong." Ma Liang was also frowning at this moment. He was thinking further. Now that things have happened, notices are posted all over the city.
Even if this "notice" is "fake," if it is spread like this, it may become true.
Ergou's words made all the beggars feel relieved.
He has realized that this matter is not simple.
You know, these beggar notices are posted extremely secretly.
"Who instructed you?"
"It seems...you won't shed tears until you see the coffin." Zhou Cang mentioned the red-hot iron.
Although the "notice" plastered all over Jiangling City is a fake, it has all three seals and ribbons, and the pictures and texts are exactly the same.
Another beggar asked in surprise.
A beggar who looked like a boss quickly took "Er Gou"'s hand and asked nervously: "Did you say anything?"
"I would like to remind you, General, that you posted those notices in Jiangling City, right? Tell me - who instructed you to post them?"
The charcoal fire in the basin was burning red, and there were strong, shirtless executioners standing on both sides.
Can…
Of course, "Hong Qigong" is not an old man. The reason why he is called so is the agreement between these beggars.
"You are a beggar? Where did you get these notices? You said no one gave instructions."
Seeing "Two Dogs" being released, I quickly went to greet them.
"Let go?" Guan Yu looked at Ma Liang in surprise.
On the other hand, Guan Yu in the next cell had his eyebrows furrowed and his eyes almost narrowed to a slit.
"No one gave instructions. I just didn't give instructions. I just thought it was fun and played along." The beggar gritted his teeth and kept repeating the same sentence.
Zhou Cang directly lifted the soldering iron in the brazier, looking like he was about to beat him into submission.
There was also a woman who looked small and cute, and did not look like a local. She was also guarding outside the cell, crying from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone.
And the content of the notice is closely related to the ownership of Jingzhou.
This room cannot be regarded as a serious court, but it gives people more pressure than the court. The interior is extremely dark and gloomy because of its small size.
Zhou Cang had a conversation with the beggar.
After the beggar leader finished speaking, the eyes of the driver who was pushing a cart of vegetables to the cell suddenly widened, and the light in them flickered.
Ma Liang pondered for a moment and then suggested: "It is better not to let General Zhou use torture. How miserable are these beggars? Now that he can do things for others, he must have gained a lot of benefits. It can be seen from the robes he is wearing.
.”
Guan Yu asked quickly: "It's okay for Baimei to speak directly."
——"Let him go!"
The kindness of a drop of water is repaid by a spring of water.
Their indifferent expressions seemed to tell the prisoners that no matter whether they were princes, nobles or beggars, they were all equal and humble in their eyes.
Ma Liang blurted out these words, Guan Yu's eyes gradually opened, and he took a deep breath.
So…
Once the beggar is scared out of his wits, the next step will be easy.
"Originally they were going to hit me, but for some reason they didn't hit me in the end and let me go..."
Although, this is just a small episode.
"Today, the dishes have been delivered. They are all plump. Please take a look!"
Who would have thought that the beggar just nodded lightly, "I posted it! But no one told me where to go!"
Except for this coachman...
…
Everyone wants to know who ordered this beggar?
And when the three words "Hong Qigong" came out of the beggar's mouth.
Her sobs stopped suddenly, and her eyes casually and meaningfully glanced at the beggar.
