In the prison room, this was the first time Guan Lin interrogated a prisoner, and it was Wei Spie who was interrogating.
He walked to the table and sat down, not knowing whether he should be coquettish or calm.
This room belonging to the thief Cao can't be considered a serious court, but it puts more pressure on people than the court. The room is small and dark, making it look yin and erotic.
There are the latest heavy shackles purchased on the wall, whips and soldering irons. Even the stove with roasted soldering irons has a brand new smell, as if waiting for someone who commits a crime to try its power.
The two shirtless and powerful prisoners, their cold expressions seemed to tell the prisoner that no matter who they were, they were equal and humble when they came here.
Guan Lin slowly sat down. This time, Guan Yinping and Zhang Xingcai did not follow him, but guarded outside the door.
However, the two of them had their ears erect and they listened to the sounds.
Guan Lin said: "Take Wei spies!"
The shopkeeper of the wine shop slowly walked into the punishment room. Although his hair was fluffy and the prisoner who was escorting him behind him, his calm expression seemed to see through everything here, with a sense of exclusivity.
This feeling... makes people feel that it is difficult to lift anything out of his mouth.
When he saw Guan Lin again, he no longer begs for mercy.
And when he saw those torture instruments, he just sighed.
Surprised and confused, he blurted out: "I have told Master Guan that I am not a Wei spy, I am just an ordinary person who escaped from the north, I... I and Neizi live in Jiangling, how about it
Will you collude with that Cao thief?"
Guan Lin smiled and said, "You still won't tell me!"
The shopkeeper of the wine shop did not answer directly, but he just looked up at the torture instrument again.
"Does the official plan to make a mistake?"
In the punishment chamber, a lamp flower burst out from the torch, and a trace of fierceness flashed in Guan Lin's eyes, but soon, the fierceness dissipated invisible, replaced by the splendor of the bamboo in his heart.
"I have a saying, "All things in the world are born from existence, and existence is born from non-existence, and there is another saying, "The Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things carry yin and embrace yang, and the energy is overwhelming.
And,' Once a person does something in this world, it will inevitably affect everything around him. It cannot be true or false. If you are really not Wei Ji, why not answer my questions?
If you can answer it? Then..."
Before Guan Lin could finish his words, the shopkeeper straightened his back, "I have a clear conscience!"
He was confident that as the deputy Cao Officer of the Cao Wei Military Department and the old man among the Wei spies, he would definitely be able to withstand all tests!
On the other hand, Guan Lin stood up, walked to him with interest, raised his eyebrows and began to interrogate.
"Where is your ancestral home?"
——"Xuzhou."
"What's the name?"
——"Wang Qi!"
"Where is your hometown? How many people are there in your family?"
——"There are from Shijing Village, Dongwu County, Langya Country, Xuzhou! I and Neizi are the only ones at home, and the others are dead."
“When did it come out?”
"This..." The shopkeeper of the wine shop obviously hesitated for a while, but he quickly followed up, "It was the fifth year of Jian'an. In order to avenge his father, Cao thieves attacked Xuzhou. Wherever they passed, there were no people or animals left, so... we Dongwu
The county people fled south one after another, so I fled to Xinye.
"After the thief Cao went south, and Uncle Liu and Min crossed the river, I fled to Nanjun again, and then... I could no longer escape, so I settled down here."
"Oh..." Guan Lin nodded with interest, "Xuzhou Langya Country, I remember Cao Cao's father Cao Song lives in Langya Country, right?"
——"I don't know!"
"Then my Han army military advisor Zhuge Kongming's hometown is also in the Langya Kingdom of Xuzhou. You have heard of this."
——"I am a vulgar family and have never studied in school. How can I get to know a family lintel like Zhuge?"
"Oh... I haven't studied? Then you are just illiterate?"
——"I don't know, the books on Suli are made by insiders, and I am only responsible for the kitchen."
"Then what kind of shopkeeper are you?"
——"Haha, I just named it. Neizi is the real shopkeeper. To be honest, at home... I am the head of the Neizi!"
"Oh...If you say that, can't you even write your own name?" Guan Lin smiled, "Wang Qi, there are only six strokes in this name!"
"Master Guan laughed, no!"
"Then you just said, wherever Cao thief passed, people and animals were not left behind. Oh, people and animals were not left behind, and you still know idioms?"
"I've been in Jiangling City for a long time, so I'll learn some from Naiko."
"Then are you afraid of death?"
"Scared! Very scared!"
"What did you do when you were in Langya, Xuzhou?" Guan Lin's question began to jump...
"..." Obviously, the shopkeeper paused again, "I am just a mate, who cooks vegetables for wealthy families."
"My third sister said you cooked authentic northern dishes! Very delicious!"
"Of course, with this little skill, it's a guy who eats."
"Then...you can make wine?"
“…will, but it’s not good.”
"When making wine, how many gulp can I get a wine with two gulp of coarse rice and one gulp of koji?"
this…
When Guan Lin asked about this, the shopkeeper of the winery obviously hesitated.
However, he reacted quickly and replied quickly: "I can't remember it, it was all done by the servants... I didn't pay special attention."
And that's all I asked about.
Zhang Xingcai, who was outside the door, whispered to Guan Yinping: "He can't make wine at all..."
“Why?”
"Whoever has ever brewed wine knows that if you use two hu of coarse rice and one hu of koji, you can only make it six hu of wine. How can you be accurate to the dou? It seems... Brother Yunqi is cheating him!"
Hmm...
Zhang Xingcai's words made Guan Yinping stunned, and Guan Yinping asked quickly: "How do you know?"
"My father loves drinking!" Zhang Xingcai replied in a low voice: "So, my mother always gives it to him... and also taught me, whether it is Qiao Pei's "Jiujiu Chun Wine" or Langya's "Qingyun Lang Wine"
', I will brew..."
oh…
Only then did Guan Yinping realize that Sister Xingcai's mother was a real northerner.
Even, not only the northerner, but also the niece of the Xiahou family, the heroic Xiahou family in the Cao Wei camp?
It's a noble woman!
At this time, Guan Lin's questioning had no intention of stopping.
"How much wine can I get? I really don't know?"
"have no idea!"
"Oh, I forgot again. You just said where is your hometown?" Guan Lin started a new round of inquiries.
"Birds from Dongwu County, Langya, Xuzhou..."
"How many people are there in the family."
"There is no one in the family except me and my uncle."
"Why come out?"
"Didn't I say it? Escape..." The shopkeeper of the restaurant answered concisely this time.
"How did you escape?"
"Follow the fellow villager and drive a donkey cart..."
"You just said that no one can keep people and animals wherever Cao thieves pass, so who can teach you the idiom?"
"I...I listened to the guests."
As soon as this answer was released, Guan Lin smiled slightly, "But you didn't answer that way just now. What you said was what your inner child taught! Why did it be said by the guest again?"
Now... the shopkeeper of the restaurant was obviously nervous, "Everything is...
"What's your name?" Guan Lin asked again.
"Wang Qi!"
"Which king?"
"The king's king!" The shopkeeper blurted out as Guan Lin said.
As he blurted out this sentence, Guan Lin's eyes narrowed suddenly. He smiled and looked directly at the shopkeeper of the restaurant, "Didn't you just say, are you illiterate? Then don't you know... the king's king
'Which king is it?"
this…
For a moment, the shopkeeper subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
For a moment, he felt that the smiling eyes of the young man in front of him were simply breathtaking, as if all lies could not escape his eyes, and all the illusions... would be seen through by him.
at the same time…
Zhang Xingcai and Guan Yinping at the door were both shocked.
Guan Yinping widened his eyes and lowered his voice.
"The fourth brother is caught right, he really has a ghost..."
Zhang Xingcai nodded heavily, "Otherwise, why would he hide his ability to write?"
Before Guan Yinping and Zhang Xingcai could figure it out completely, Guan Lin's voice came out again. "I asked, answered, and had enough fun. Now... it's time to talk about the important things."
Guan Lin's eyes moved up, "How could you escape from the golden eyes of the Cao Guan, and aren't you planning to help me?"
"Wei spy--Nightinging!"
…
…
Luoyang City.
Since Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, this place has become an empty city, with empty houses uninhabited, and some still have traces of burning.
On the wide streets, several ragged people and unkempt children gathered at the once glorious Hongdumen School.
At this moment, someone was taking advantage of the night to tell a story in front of the ruins of Hongdu Gate.
The storytelling elsewhere is to make money, while the storytelling here is to bring a lonely paradise to the remaining people in this empty city.
Historically, Cao Cao rebuilt Luoyang after Guan Yu lost to Maicheng.
Cao Cao had extremely complex feelings and dual meanings for Luoyang.
First, he buried Guan Yu here.
The second is that Cao Cao himself reached the end of his life here.
Speaking of which, there has always been controversy in where Cao Cao was buried, but there is no dispute about where he died.
Cao Cao left the world forever in the rebuilt Luoyang City.
Of course, Luoyang does not have the taste of re-modeling at this moment.
The broken walls and dilapidated walls all over the streets, the magnificent palace is hideous and dilapidated, with weeds growing in the palace, and rabbits and foxes running.
Taking advantage of the night, a carriage slowly came to the ruins of Hongdumen School. The woman who walked out of it was wearing red clothes. It was the woman who stabbed the dagger at Cao Cao's portrait again and again in the underground of Mangdang Mountain Cemetery that day.
.
She slowly walked among the people, sat on a stone staircase, and quietly heard stories from scholars.
Having said that...
The storytelling in the north is completely different from the storytelling in the south.
The storytellers in the north praised Cao Cao, while the Liu, Guan, Zhang and Sun clans were demoted;
But the storytelling in the south is completely the opposite, and the one who praises Liu and the one who criticizes Cao.
The principle of success and defeat of the enemy is applicable to all worlds.
As for the truth of history?
Is it important?
The truth in the minds of the people is just a story circulating among the people, this is public opinion!
The woman in red remembers that the last time she came here to listen to a book, the storyteller told the story of Liu, Guan and Zhang Taoyuan having a fraternity, killing each other's family, and using this to "seal the heart".
And the "heart-sealing" completely subverted his impression of Liu, Guan and Zhang.
This time... it's about...
The woman in red slowly raised her eyes, and the storyteller had just begun.
——"Diao Chan was originally the adopted daughter of Situ Wang Yun. In order to eliminate the rioter Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun set up a series of plans with Diao Chan as bait. He first pretended to promise to Lu Bu, and then he offered Diao Chan to Dong Zhuo. In the end, he provoked Lu Bu to kill him.
Dong Zhuo was famous all over the world.”
——"After that Lu Bu and Diao Chan took Diao Chan like a broken dog, fled everywhere. In the end, they were defeated by Cao Cao and Liu Bei and died in Baimen Tower. However, how to deal with Diao Chan became a difficult task."
——"Prime Minister Cao's good wife is known to everyone. He naturally coveted Diao Chan's beauty, but Diao Chan didn't like Cao Cao at all, so he just ignored her."
——"Cao Cao was unsure of his mind, so he asked Cheng Yu for advice. Cheng Yu was very sensible and suggested that Cao Cao, why not learn from Wang Yun of that year, take Diao Chan as bait, and provoke the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang,
Finally, I reap the benefits of the fisherman.”
The storyteller tonight is about Diao Chan.
Often, women's stories, especially those of famous women like Diao Chan, can arouse men's widespread curiosity.
Because of this, there are more than twice as many people coming to Hongdu Gate to learn to study than usual.
Most of them are ragged men!
On the other hand, when the woman in red heard "Diao Chan", her heart stuttered, as if this name touched a nerve in her mind.
This also opened her eyes and her ears erected, and she was extremely looking forward to the storyteller's next story.
——"Although Cao Cao was reluctant to give Diao Chan, the world's number one beauty, for nothing, she was a hero after all. After weighing the pros and cons, he immediately made a decision and sent people to spread the news everywhere, saying that he would be betrothed Diao Chan to Guan Yu
.”
——"Among the three brothers in Taoyuan, Zhang Fei is the most reckless person. He ate some more wine this day. I heard that Prime Minister Cao wanted to promise Diao Chan to his second brother, but his face changed at that time. The eldest brother failed to support the Han Dynasty.
My brother was thinking about begging his wife, so why did he "should" have you ever been so mean? This is also contrary to his oath, and it is really not necessary! He immediately rode his horse straight to the small courtyard where Diao Chan was."
Speaking of this, a gangster shouted, "Is Mr. Zhang going to occupy Diao Chan first?"
As soon as this said, "Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter.
However, the woman in red had a cold face... her eyebrows were even darker.
"Of course not!"
The storyteller replied casually and continued to preach.
——"When it comes to Guan Erye's courtyard, just a wall between Diao Chan's courtyard. That night, Guan Erye was reading "Spring and Autumn" under the moonlight. Suddenly, he heard a woman next door crying, and asked Xiaojian if it was
Who is crying?"
——"Soon soon replied that it was Diao Chan crying. Mr. Guan Er thought something and asked his subordinates to bring Diao Chan. After a while, Diao Chan came in a cold manner. Although he was worried, he still had outstanding appearance and was worthy of
It is called the country's beauty and the sky is fragrant."
——"June Guan sighed repeatedly in his heart. Diao Chan is so beautiful. No wonder heroes like Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu will kneel down under his pomegranate skirt. Now it is rumored that Cao Cao betrothed her to himself, most of whom he wants to use a series of tricks to make his brothers.
The three of them are in harmony. In this way, no matter how good Diao Chan looks, she will harm others and cannot be kept!"
——"When thinking of this, Master Guan Er couldn't help but feel murderous!"
Having said this, the storyteller paused, calmed down and calmed down...
This is just the first half.
But... it was mentioned that Guan Erye wanted to kill Diao Chan.
The woman in red suddenly became excited. She clenched her fists, and the urgent words quickly came out through her veil.
——"What later? Guan Yu... Did Guan Yu really kill him..."
An extremely urgent tone...
Before she could finish her words.
The other people cheered and said, "It's Diao Chan that killed it, it's not you, why are you excited..."
"I...I..."
The woman in red clenched her fists even tighter in an instant.
She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end... she swallowed all the things she wanted to say.
But her eyes and crystal eyes showed a few bright red lights!
