Volume 1 First Entering the Tang Dynasty Chapter 49 The Spy
"It looks like the style of the Turkic cavalry, but it's also somewhat paradoxical!" Zhang You said somewhat ambiguously.
"If it's not, it's not! Why is it so specious?" Fang Qi glared at Zhang You angrily.
"Sir! It's really hard to judge based on the villain's experience, because...you should see for yourself!" Zhang Youzai immediately handed over his hand and said helplessly.
"Go and have a look!" Hearing Zhang You's hesitant words, Lu Chen shook the reins of his horse and urged Black Wind to enter the village first. Fang Qi and Meng Ji glared at Zhang You fiercely and followed closely.
Lu Chen also entered the village.
On the ridge of the dilapidated house, stood a crow who was not afraid of people. He turned his head and looked at Lu Chen and the others who were slowly riding into the village. From time to time, he called out "ah-ah--", as if to urge Lu Chen.
Chen and others should leave quickly so as not to hinder their search for food.
The wooden door of the yard fell to the ground, with messy and clear footprints on it. Bodies in the yard fell to the ground in various directions, and the blood seeped into the soil, turning it into dry black.
The men had their hands tied and were killed with a knife in the throat, while the women lay disheveled on the ground. It was obvious that they had been humiliated during their lifetimes. The most outrageous thing is that even the infant babies did not escape this disaster.
"Why do you say it wasn't the Turkic cavalry?" Lu Chen's eyes turned red and he turned to look at Zhang You.
"Because the footprints on the door are military boots. These military boots are only available in the Tang Dynasty!" Zhang You was shocked by Lu Chen's murderous intent. The military advisor who always looked harmless to humans and animals was like a tortoise in Zhang You's eyes.
It looked like a man-eating monster, and its murderous aura made Zhang You, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, feel frightened from the bottom of his heart. Zhang You still had the courage to report back.
"Military boots?" Lu Chen walked towards the door panel and looked at the clear marks of military boots on the door panel.
"Yes, sir, this kind of shoe prints can only be left by the military boots of the Tang army, but the Turkic cavalry wear leather boots, and the marks are different from ours!" Zhang You explained beside Lu Chen.
"In other words, it is possible that the Tang army disguised itself as Turkic cavalry and plundered, or the Turkic cavalry disguised as Tang army and plundered?" Lu Chen turned to look at Zhang You.
"Yes, that's why the last general said that this thing looks like something done by the Turkic cavalry, but it's not true at all!" Zhang You said, cupping his hands.
Just when Lu Chen was frowning and thinking, he heard a loud shout from the village head, "Who is this person!" "Catch him!"
Soon, the noise and footsteps subsided, and several soldiers pushed a man in ragged clothes with his arms cut upside down and walked over.
"Kneel down!" Following the angry shouts of several soldiers, as well as punches and kicks, the ragged man knelt down in front of Lu Chen.
"Sir, catch the spy!" a soldier saluted.
"I'm not a spy! I'm not a spy!" When the soldier said he was a spy, the man in ragged clothes shouted loudly.
"Who are you? What's your last name?" Lu Chen looked down at the man kneeling in front of him and asked sharply.
"Sir, I am a resident of this village. My name is Niu Er, and I live in the second house at the east end of the village!" The man who called himself Niu Er answered tremblingly.
"Okay, Niu Er, let me ask you, what happened in the village?" Lu Chen continued to stare at Niu Er. Although Niu Er spoke tremblingly, he didn't seem to be lying. For Lu Chen, who has interrogation experience, if Niu Er didn't tell
To be honest, Lu Chen could still detect some of it through his micro-expressions.
"The night before yesterday, many soldiers on horseback came to the village. They started killing and robbing when they entered the village. The villain was afraid, so he jumped out of the back window of his home and hid in the mountains. He only dared to come back today!" Niu Er was still trembling.
He stuttered and kowtowed, "Sir, I'm really not a spy!"
"Let me ask you, how do those people dress up?" Lu Chen continued to ask.
"The villain didn't see clearly. Those people started killing people when they entered the village. The villain didn't dare to look any further. He got out of the back window and ran away! Please let the villain make the decision and avenge the whole village!" Niu Er kowtowed as before.
It was like pounding garlic, blood was already flowing down from his forehead, and tears were streaming down his face.
"I don't know who did it, how can I help you take revenge?" Lu Chen reached out and helped Niu Er up and asked.
"Little man, I remember that those people wore felt hats and pigtails on the back of their heads and were riding horses!" Niu Er said, wiping his tears, "And those people went east after plundering the village!"
"Oh? Didn't you say you didn't see clearly just now? Why did you say you were going east now? What you said is somewhat contradictory!" Lu Chen looked at Niu Er and said with a smile.
"Ah! The villain saw it while hiding behind a tree on the mountain!" Niu Er hurriedly defended.
"Then tell me, which tree on the mountain can hide you?" Lu Chen said and pointed to the mountain behind the village. There are indeed many trees in the mountain behind, but they are all oak trees as thick as the mouth of a bowl. That thing
Can it stop people? Moreover, it is already early autumn and there are not many leaves on the trees.
"Furthermore, although a villager is dressed in rags, most of them are thin in stature. You have a thick body, and your face is obviously painted with smoke. This village was only robbed and not burned. Where is the reason?
The thick smoke?" Lu Chen pointed at Niu Er's nose and asked. Niu Er asked directly, "Huh" for a long time, speechless.
"Tell me this nonsense! Who sent you here?" Lu Chen stared at Niu Erhe with cold eyes and asked.
"Fuck you!" When Niu Er saw that he was exposed, he pushed Lu Chen and ran away.
"Bang" a gunshot sounded, and Niu Erzhi felt as if his thigh had been hit by a sledgehammer, and he fell to the ground.
The Type 92 pistol in Lu Chen's hand was filled with smoke, the black muzzle of the gun was pointed at Niu Er, and he walked towards Niu Er step by step.
"Run! Keep running! Let's see who is faster, you or my gun!" Lu Chen showed his white teeth, sneered and squatted in front of Niu Er, looking at Niu Er who was covering his thigh with his hands.
two.
Lu Chen's shot also shocked the surrounding soldiers. Except for Fang Qi and Meng Ji, these people saw Lu Chen use a pistol for the first time, and they all looked at the "black bump" in Lu Chen's hand in shock.
"If you don't tell the truth, I have many ways to make you open your mouth!" Although torture is not allowed in later generations, in this era, no one will care about Lu Chen. As long as he can get a confession, that's fine.
Seeing the "iron lump" in Lu Chen's hand, Niu Er was frightened, and the pain in his thigh was constantly stimulating Niu Er's nerves, "I say! I say!" Niu Er shouted heartbreakingly, he
He was afraid that Lu Chen would shoot him in the head.
