The old man frowned. Although the young man in front of him was frail, his words were gentle, but he carried a faint intimidation force, and seemed not to value his own identity. He was also a shrewd man, and knew that those who could reach Jiang Nanchun were not ordinary.
When I look at the guards behind me, they are all masters with serious demeanor and cold eyes, I can't help but say: 'What you said makes sense. I don't know what to call you.'
I smiled slightly and motioned to the guard beside me. The guard said loudly: 'This is Lord Yong's subordinate, the new Sima Jiang Zhejiang of Tiance Commandery.'
The old man was shaken. The Sima of Tiance Commander's Mansion was one of the top civil servants under King Yong. He bowed and saluted and said: 'Jiang Qingyuan, a common man, has offended Lord Sima, please forgive me.'
I said calmly: 'No one is guilty if you don't know. Who is that scholar in yellow? He actually framed me.'
The old man said nervously: "This man's surname is Xia, his name is Xia Jinyi. He is a gangster and a wanderer. He was once a disciple of Kongtong. He was expelled from the school because of his dissolute behavior. However, because he did not make any serious mistakes, he was not abolished from martial arts. This man
Recently, I came to the lower house, hoping to join the Guanzhong League. The common people saw that although this person was a little frivolous, he still had the heart to serve Dayong, so he accepted him. Unexpectedly, this person was so bold that he not only molested the little girl, but also stole her.
I originally just sent someone to capture the item. Unexpectedly, I met here today and was deceived by him using tricks, which even offended you.'
I nodded thoughtfully and said, 'Co-leader, please do what you want. This person is so impudent. If I catch him, he will be handed over to the co-leader and he will be dealt with by him.'
Jiang Qingyuan said happily: 'Thank you so much, sir.'
When I returned to the room and looked at Chen Zhen and Han Wuji, I suddenly chuckled and said, 'I didn't expect that someone would even deceive me.'
Xiao Shunzi asked: ‘Do you really want to catch him?’
I smiled and said: 'Yes, we must catch him, but don't hurt him. I want to use this person, Xiao Shunzi. Do you have a way to catch him without letting others know? It's a bit difficult. It doesn't matter if you don't succeed.
I'll find another way.'
Xiao Shunzi smiled and said: 'Don't worry, young master. In order to protect the young master, I didn't touch him just now, but I used the soul-chasing incense on him.'
I looked at Chen Zhen, who said: 'Don't worry, Master, we have brought all the rodents used for tracking. I don't know where Master is going to meet him.'
I thought about it and said: 'Find a way to send him here secretly, remember not to reveal any traces, I will come to see him tomorrow, remember, no one can know, you tap his acupuncture points, put him in a box and bring him.
'
Chen Zhen said: ‘Don’t worry, young master, we can be half the masters here and we will definitely not show any trace.’
On the way back home, I was thinking about the possibility of implementing the plan. The more I thought about it, the more likely it was that I felt it was very possible. Sitting in the carriage, I was thinking over and over again. Suddenly, the carriage stopped suddenly and my body was knocked forward.
Fortunately, Xiao Shunzi held me up and I didn't hit him. At this time, a reporting voice came from outside the car: 'Sir, it was a man who hit the car. This man suddenly rushed out from the alley and was startled.
Horse, but this man has fainted. Hey, sir, this man has a child on his back and a knife wound on his chest.'
At this time, the sound of swords clashing was heard in the distance. After a while, someone reported back: "Sir, there are a few people chasing you. We caught two, but one escaped." I said in a deep voice: "Take them away."
Go back, inquire in detail, and tell me the result.'
A respectful reply came from outside.
I smiled softly and said: 'No wonder the world likes glory and wealth. Who wouldn't like it if there are orders and prohibitions?'
Xiao Shunzi whispered: 'Do you want me to go and take a look?'
I shook my head and said: 'No need, it probably has nothing to do with us, let the people from Prince Yong's Mansion investigate.'
The next morning, the guard who protected me yesterday came in to report that the man we rescued had woken up, but was seriously injured, and he was afraid that his life was not long. The man called himself Han Zhang, but other than that, he refused to say anything.
.I glanced at Xiao Shunzi suspiciously, was it the Han Zhang I knew? Xiao Shunzi went out, returned after a while, and told me calmly that it was Han Zhang, my guard in Shu.
I stood up quickly and hurried to where Han Zhang was recuperating. In a neat side room, Han Zhang was lying on the bed, his face was like gold paper. I stepped forward and pressed on his wrist pulse, and soon took it.
When he came down, he was almost exhausted. I shook my head gently and stuffed a pill into his mouth. Gradually, his face turned rosy. He opened his eyes and saw me. His eyes appeared.
I felt refreshed. I sat next to him and said calmly: 'Brother Han, we met too late. You must have been injured these days and you haven't had a good rest. I can't do anything about it. Why are you in this state?
If you have any last wishes, tell me. For the sake of our acquaintance, I will do my best for you.'
Xiao Shunzi motioned for the others to leave, stood behind me, and looked at Han Zhang coldly.
Han Zhang said: 'Master Jiang, I didn't expect to see you here. Have you already taken refuge in Dayong?'
I smiled slightly and said: 'Southern Chu has been defeated miserably after Shu. Although it can make a comeback in the future, it can only survive. Yes, I have surrendered to King Yong.'
Han Zhang sighed and said: "Whether or not Dayong is powerful, those people are short-sighted and have no chance of success. My lord, my mother-in-law and wife are both dead. Please take care of me for the sake of our old acquaintance."
Daughter, let her grow up safely.'
My expression changed and I said: 'Tell me what happened, otherwise I will not be able to explain it to my wife in the future.'
Han Zhang's eyes became distant, and he said: "After leaving your master, Han Zhang did not farm anymore. I was originally a disciple of Qingcheng and practiced martial arts. I was hated by my country and my family, so I joined the Jinxiu Alliance, an underground force that resisted Dayong."
, Ahem, but the Lord Lu who was guarding Shu was very clever. We were defeated repeatedly. Later, they went crazy and began to brutally kill the civilians of Shu. They said that anyone who refused to resist Nanchu and Dayong would be killed.
It was rebellion. In the end, they found out that I had been in the Southern Chu Army, so they wanted to execute me. Although I tried to defend myself in every possible way, it was of no use. I could only run away with my daughter in my arms. I originally thought that my wife was General Tian's.
My daughter, the leader of the alliance is her cousin, so she should not be harmed. But then I caught a person who was chasing me. He told me that my wife died, and died miserably, because the leader of the alliance was originally my wife.
My fiancé, Zhuo Jing ran away from the marriage and married me. He deliberately wanted to kill me. My wife was forced to rape her and she was killed. My mother-in-law committed suicide by hanging herself from the beam. My lord, you advised me to go back to my hometown.
I live my daily life in the countryside. I didn't listen to you, and that's why I ended up like this.'
Looking at Han Zhang's desolate look, I said calmly: 'When you cried bitterly late at night, I knew you would never be alone again, but you are from Shu, and there is no way I can persuade you not to go and restore the country. From your point of view, you have no choice.
Wrong, it's just that you chose the wrong companion. Don't worry, your enemy will not end well.'
Han Zhang's eyes became hot and he said: "Sir, please take care of my daughter and don't tell her all this. I don't want her to be tied up in the hatred of the country and family for the rest of her life. I hope she can marry and have children in peace."
.'
I sighed softly: 'Go and get his daughter.'
Xiao Shunzi went out for a while and came back. He brought back a little girl who was over one year old. The little girl smiled and reached out to her father for a hug. On her delicate and lovely face, she had big, clear eyes.
Like spring water. I saw that Han Zhang was excited, but unable to sit up, so I reached out and hugged the little girl. I couldn't help but kiss her face. The little girl suddenly shouted: "Daddy." Her little hand grabbed my scarf, and I
He looked at her happily and said, "Brother Han, your daughter is very smart and cute."
Han Zhang didn't know where he got the strength. He actually sat up, prostrated himself on the bed, and begged: 'Sir, I know it's too hard for you. Please take this child in and take good care of her.'
I was startled and was about to refuse. I looked at the child's beautiful silhouette and suddenly couldn't speak. I thought that if Piao Xiang had not died, maybe our child would have been this old. My heart softened and I said: "I am alone, without a wife or children."
, If Brother Han doesn't dislike it, this child will be my adopted daughter. I will treat her as if she were my own. Brother Han, what is the name of this child?'
Han Zhang shed tears of gratitude and whispered: 'Sir, Han Zhang is an orphan. He got this surname from his master. If you don't mind, please treat this child as your own and don't tell her about her life experience.'
I looked at Han Zhang, and through his grief-stricken eyes, I saw his deep love for his daughter and his full regret. I said lightly: "It's okay, Mr. Zhuo Jing Liu died in an accident. I will take care of this child."
Tell her that she is my biological daughter, and her name is Jiang Roulan.'
Han Zhang said with gratitude: 'Thank you sir, Roulan, Roulan, sir, the leader of the Splendid Alliance, Huo Jicheng, has vicious methods, you must be careful.'
After saying that, Han Zhang closed his eyes and was silent again. At this time, Roulan was still stretching out her hands, asking for a hug from her father. I held her in my arms, and a drop of tear fell to the dust. In the chaos of the war, there were
How many such tragic things would happen again. At this moment Roulan burst into tears, as if she also knew that her father had passed away.
I summoned Chang En, the eunuch in charge, and asked him to arrange Han Zhang's posthumous affairs and find a nanny and several capable maids to serve Roulan. I handed Roulan to the maids first, and I decided to interrogate the two captured ones.
Prisoner. Since they are hunting Han Zhang, they must be related to the Jinxiu Alliance. They are so rampant in Chang'an. How can I not ask clearly?
In the dark dungeon of Prince Yong's Mansion, I walked through the bluestone corridor under the leadership of the warden. There were heavy wooden doors on both sides, with only a small window at a height of one person and a stainless steel fence. At the end of the corridor
It is a torture chamber. When you walk down the steps, you can see two short but very strong men firmly fixed to the wall with tendons and iron chains. There are no wounds on their bodies. It seems that no one tortured him. I
He nodded with satisfaction. If torture is used indiscriminately, the effect will be reduced. It seems that Prince Yong's Mansion is very cautious. I looked around and saw several torture instruments. Although there were not many, they were all stained with blood, which made the torture chamber immediately revealed.
A gloomy and frightening atmosphere.
I looked at the two men. I have quite a lot of research on torture. In order to deal with Liang Wan, I read all the books I could find, and finally gained a lot. I found that the most important thing about torture is
Destroy a person's confidence before he can get anything he wants.
Looking at the dozen jailers and a clerk in the room, I smiled and said, 'Bring him here.' I pointed at a man, and two jailers stepped forward, untied the man skillfully, and then twisted his arms.
They tied him up with beef tendons behind his back. They were so skillful that the man had no power to resist. They dragged the man in front of me. A jailer grabbed his hair and forced him to raise his head so that I could see his face clearly.
In terms of appearance, this man had a decent appearance, but his expression was full of anger. Xiao Shunzi waved his hand and asked them to bring a chair for me to sit on. I smiled and said, 'Are you the thieves who attacked my car?'
The man's eyes flashed and he said: 'Sir, the common man did not ram your car, it was your guards who forcibly captured the villain.'
I said calmly: 'That father and daughter were chased by you, right? If it weren't for you, how could anyone have attacked the driver? Tell me, who are you? If you don't explain clearly, you won't get out of here alive.
If you confess obediently, I will only send you to Jing Zhaoyin for questioning.'
The man's expression changed again. If he got to Jingzhaoyin, even if he killed or injured people, he would be sentenced to an autumn sentence at most. Then he might not have a chance to escape from prison. He said in a sad voice: "The common people are really seeking wealth and killing. I didn't expect to hit him."
An adult's car.'
I didn't believe it or not, so I casually took off a hairpin from my hair. This hairpin was the treasure that Chen Zhen and the others got from the secret room of the chamber of commerce when I ordered the secret camp to eradicate the chamber of commerce that betrayed me last time.
, although it is just a hairpin, this hairpin is made of the iron gall of the black iron meteorite that fell from the sky. It is extremely sharp and can pierce even the hardest diamond. However, the hairpin is too small for ordinary people.
Of course it is of no use to a martial arts master. Although Xiao Shunzi can use steel needles as weapons, he is very arrogant and unwilling to use other weapons except his hands. In the end, I left this hairpin.
I don't know when I'll be able to use it. Well, I can use this hairpin as a golden needle for acupuncture. It's just a little thicker, so it's best used for torture.
I smiled and asked: ‘Are you willing to recruit me?’
The man nodded repeatedly, and I said calmly: "I never believe anyone's confession without torture." After that, I stabbed the man with my hairpin a few times, and the man's expression suddenly changed.
His face suddenly turned red, and his body was trembling even more. If the two jailers hadn't been holding him tightly, he would have fallen to the ground. The most terrifying thing was that he couldn't even make a sound, and all he could see was sweat on his forehead.
It was raining like rain. He raised his head, his eyes full of pity, but I looked at him leisurely and contentedly, as if he was not struggling in front of me. The method of torture is to attack the heart first. If I were light
I let him go lightly and gave him a blow. If he dared to prevaricate randomly for a while, I just said that letting him suffer a more brutal torture would definitely frighten him, and I believe I can do it.
After a while, I saw that his mind was gradually losing consciousness. I waved my hand gently and inserted the hairpin into the man's body. The man's body gradually relaxed and he let out a low moan. But I couldn't blame him. After the pain was relieved,
, his body was extremely relaxed, and the voice he had just suppressed came out. He ordered the jailer to bring cold water, and carefully poured it into the man's throat. His mind regained consciousness, and when he saw me, there was unconcealable panic in his eyes.
I smiled and said: 'Okay, now what you say should be somewhat credible. May I ask your name, the strong man's name, where his ancestral home is, and why you are chasing the father and daughter.'
The man said: "The villain Qiu Xing was originally from Shu. After the fall of Shu, the center of Shu fell into the hands of Southern Chu. Lu Xin was tyrannical, so he went into exile in Dayong. Because he had no savings, he sought wealth and killed himself. This is
This is really what a villain says from the bottom of his heart. I beg you for your understanding.'
I looked at Xiao Shunzi and said calmly: 'Is this person's confession reliable?'
Xiao Shunzi said lightly: 'I think it's unreliable.'
I smiled and said: 'How should I put it? I think he is very honest, and he probably doesn't want to suffer more severe torture.'
Xiao Shunzi said respectfully: "Master, all the clothes this man wears are made in Dayong. It seems that he has been in Dayong for a long time. He has more than a thousand taels of silver in banknotes. If he is willing to behave himself, he can live happily."
"Oh, that father and daughter don't even have ten taels of silver on their bodies, how could they be seeking wealth and murder? Moreover, they dare to kill people under the bright sun. They are so arrogant. If there is no backer, I will not believe it even if I die."
I smiled, with a warm smile, looked at the man with a satisfied look, and said: 'Okay, if he confesses frankly, I don't think it would be interesting.'
Everyone, including the jailer, looked at the handsome and elegant young man, but his gentle smile gave everyone chills, and they all thought, "It turns out that he wanted to be tortured deliberately, and he didn't want to get a confession in the first place."
.
Then the hairpin in my hand had pierced Qiu Xing's body again. Qiu Xing's body began to curl up and twitch. This time the two jailers could hardly control him. I looked at him for a while and said, "Let's have a cup of tea."
'Seeing me speak, a look of despair flashed in the eyes of the man who was originally full of expectations. Xiao Shunzi glanced at him, with an expression on his face that seemed to be somewhat sympathetic. He hesitated and said, 'Sir, your highness will use the new tribute tea.
It will take a long time to soak it up.' This time, Qiu Xing, who was full of hope, fainted.
My hairpin pierced Qiu Xing's body again. After Qiu Xing was awakened by the cold water, he looked at me blankly. I said lightly: "It doesn't matter. You go get the tea set and boil water for tea here."
I'm going to try a few new stitches before you finish.'
Qiu Xing couldn't bear it any longer. He howled in pain and threw himself at my chair. Two jailers grabbed him tightly. He said loudly: "Sir, please spare my life. I am willing to confess. I am a killer of the Jinxiu Alliance. I beg you, sir."
Spare your life, this villain is willing to do anything.'
I looked at him lightly and said dissatisfiedly: 'You are willing to do anything, why are you so spineless?'
Qiu Xing cried and exchanged words: "Sir, please spare my life. I am willing to kill you, but I beg you not to torture me anymore."
I shook my head in boredom and said: 'Take him to the next room and ask him to confess. If there is any concealment or prevarication, send him back. Someone, bring the other one.'
Seeing my excited expression, another man who had been frightened out of his wits cried out in a mournful voice: 'Shang Wei, the villain, is willing to confess.'
I shook my head and said, 'No, if you don't get some punishment, wouldn't it be too unfair?'
It was Xiao Shunzi's voice that came to my ears: 'Master, you've gone too far. You didn't see the eyes of those jailers, they almost thought you were a violent evil demon.'
I smiled softly and said with a pun: "It doesn't matter. While waiting for the confession, I can test your endurance first. If you are obedient, I will use less injections at most. Let's do this. I will wait for his confession later."
I ask you again, if you can find his omissions, I will let you go. If you can't find it, I will still torture you. Now, please use some side dishes." After that, he inserted the hairpin into Shang
Great body.
Two hours later, I walked out of the torture chamber with satisfaction, leaving behind a lot of frightened and admiring jailers and two Splendid Alliance killers who only had half their lives left.
