Chapter 35 Torture to Extort Confessions from Thieves
After last night's lesson, Zhang Tianyou no longer dared to spend the night in the wilderness, and the men who tossed the courtyard for a night did not rest, at this time he entered Quanjiao County, and saw that it was past noon, so he asked everyone to rest in the inn for one night and set off tomorrow morning.

Everyone cheered, and soon the inn sounded like a thunderous snoring.
The fact that the men in the nursing home did not rest well does not mean that others did not rest well, Ma Xiuying slept beautifully last night, and she was not sleepy, and she became more and more irritable by these noises. She saw Xiao Zhang sitting on the edge of the bed concentrating on sewing clothes, very bored, so she sneaked out of the inn. Who would have thought that it didn't take a few steps to find that there were two tails on the back, but it was the Guo family brothers.
"Why are you following me?" asked Ma Xiuying angrily. In all fairness, although the Guo brothers had a bad attitude towards her, they did not fix her behind her back, and let her ride in an ox cart yesterday. It's just that when she thinks of the dirty things that Da Zhang and the Guo sisters made in private, she doesn't get angry, and she doesn't even have a good face for these two brothers.
"Wild girl, you are so fierce, be careful that you can't marry in the future. Guo Tianxu grimaced, "The first time I went out, of course my fourth brother and I wanted to go outside, but we saw you one step ahead, what did you do when you came out?"
Guo Tianjue grinned with red teeth, his nostrils facing the sky, "That's it, the road is not your family." ”
"If you can go out and around, I can't? Well, if you want to go this way, I'll go that way. If you admit that you are afraid of getting lost, it is not impossible to follow me. Ma Xiuying directly shook the back of her head to the Guo brothers. She slipped out this time to buy some books on strategy, and she hadn't forgotten her plan to train Zhu Yuanzhang to be a smart person.
"Brother, are we still going with her?" Guo Tianjue asked in a whisper staring at Ma Xiuying's back.
"What are you going to do, do you two still want to see the face of a stinky girl? Hmph, when she gets lost, she will cry!" Guo Tianxu cursed and walked forward angrily.
"Anyway, the eldest lady doesn't like her, it's better to let her be abducted by human traffickers. Guo Tianjue wanted to slap his eldest brother's ass, but in exchange for a kick in the leg.
Ma Xiuying turned around and saw that the two of them had really been provoked and did not follow, so she smiled proudly and stopped a passer-by to ask about the location of the bookstore.
In the era of war and chaos, the bookstore business can no longer be described as bleak, in fact, it is about to go out of business, there is no guy in the store, only the boss lying on the table and drowsy.
Ma Xiuying woke up the boss, "Shopkeeper, my family asked me to buy some strategy books." ”
When the owner of the bookstore saw a customer coming to the door, he was so happy that he almost jumped up, regardless of his adults and children, if he made money, he was the boss. He diligently recommended all kinds of books to Ma Xiuying, and he couldn't wait to pack and sell a room full of books.
Ma Xiuying stroked a book of strategies and couldn't put it down, Liu Dashan and Guo Zixing are both big bosses, there are not many calligraphy and paintings collected at home, Ma Xiuying saw so many books, and her heart was happy and emotional, although the engraving and printing of these books were rough, but the content inside was very beneficial, but I hated that I didn't have much money, so I could only drool at these treasures.
After some haggling, she finally chose a scroll-bound "Liutao" and a butterfly-bound "A Brief Explanation of Sun Tzu" among the dazzling books.
The content of "Liutao" is very extensive, and almost all aspects of politics and war are involved. And "A Brief Explanation of Sun Tzu" was written by Cao Cao, if you want to push Zhu Yuanzhang to a high position, you have to see how Xiaoxiong is refined.
Under the enthusiasm of the boss, Ma Xiuying walked out of the bookstore with the book in her arms. Suddenly, a little boy about ten years old and dressed in tattered clothes bumped into her head-on, and she hurriedly avoided it.
The little boy ran into Ma Xiuying by one centimeter, and he didn't apologize, he glanced up at Ma Xiuying, turned around and ran.
Ma Xiuying reacted suddenly, touched the purse on her waist, and sure enough, it was gone, and hurriedly lifted her skirt, chased after her, and shouted while chasing: "Hey, that thief, you stop me!"
The owner of the bookstore who sent Ma Xiuying out witnessed the whole incident, but he had no intention of standing up for Ma Xiuying, a foreigner, just looked at the two figures running away indifferently, and shook his head gloomily: This thief even steals a girl, there is really no shame, and this girl shouting on the street does not have a boudoir image, alas, the world is declining, and morality is declining.
The little boy did not look back, and fled as fast as he could.
Ma Xiuying persevered and pursued all the way. She had an instinctive dislike for the adulterer, and a stubbornness arose in her heart, and she must bring such a person to justice, even if the little boy is not criminally responsible for his age, she must teach him a lesson, and he must not be allowed to continue to commit crimes.
There were not many pedestrians on the streets in the afternoon, and even if there were one or two pedestrians, seeing Ma Xiuying and the little boy running wildly, they just hurriedly got out of the way and looked curiously behind.
The little boy seemed familiar with the place and soon turned into an alley.
Ma Xiuying chased into the alley but saw that the little boy was about to turn into another crossing, so she was in a hurry and smashed the "Liutao" in her hand hard.
This scroll book is not as light as Liu Xiuying's printed book in her previous life, and it is as thick as a baseball bat, and it is really a necessary artifact for home travel and killing.
"Liutao" is the back of the little boy, and the little boy stumbles a few steps, stabilizes his body and runs forward. However, Ma Xiuying's "Brief Explanation of Sun Tzu" also flew over, this time hitting the little boy's inner knee eye point, the little boy's leg spasmed, and he fell suddenly, and when he was about to get up and run again, Ma Xiuying had already run to him.
"Run!" Ma Xiuying lifted the little boy up, the child was skinny and as light as a chicken. Ma Xiuying hesitated for a moment, cut her hands, copied them behind her back, and panted and announced, "You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say may be used as evidence in court in the future." ”
The little boy was really cooperative, his eyes were round, his lips were pursed, and he didn't say a word.
Dizzy, I'm not a police officer now. Ma Xiuying patted her head and asked again, "What's your name, how old are you, why did you steal from me?"
The little boy still insisted on retaining his "rights", silent, his dark and thin face was full of stubbornness, only the violently undulating chest showed his inner tension and uneasiness. People like them, who steal for a living, have long been accustomed to the situation they will face next, and if the situation is better, they will only be beaten by the victim, and they are afraid that the victim will report to the official, and once they enter the cell, they will not be able to get out without taking off a layer of skin.
Don't answer?Hehe, sister, I have a lot of tricks to clean up the bad guys. Ma Xiuying smiled, she hadn't tortured a prisoner for a long time, so she just used this little boy to practice her skills. She untied her hairbands and tied the boy's hands and feet so that he could not move, then divided the boy's messy hair into four locks, stuffed them into his two ears and two nostrils, and finally asked again, "Don't blame me for the torture." ”
Ma Xiuying's malicious smile made the little boy's heart tremble, his eyes were about to burst into flames, but his mouth was still closed like a clam shell.
"If you have the ability, you don't talk all the time. Ma Xiuying slapped off the dust on "A Brief Explanation of Sun Tzu", smiled weirdly, and slowly fanned the wind on the little boy's head, fan on the left, fan on the right, fan in the front, fan in the back. The light strands of hair swayed in the wind, rising and falling in the little boy's ears and nostrils.
The little boy's ears and nose were itchy but he couldn't move, so he couldn't bear it anymore and had to burst into a shout, "My name is Yuan Xing, I didn't eat for a few days before stealing your money, you can beat you if you want to, and you can report to the official if you want to!
"Is it uncomfortable?" Ma Xiuying picked up a lock of hair and stuck it into her ear, and sure enough, there was an indescribable itch, and her whole body was numb. She quickly let go of her hand and looked at Yuan Xing, who was stunned, and suddenly lost interest in continuing to play tricks. In this troubled world, adults are robbers, and it is normal for children to be thieves. She untied her belt and sighed, "Forget it, you go, take the money, and leave the purse." ”
"You're not going to beat me?" Yuan Xing was stunned in disbelief, slowly took a few steps back, and saw that Ma Xiuying really didn't plan to arrest him again, so he immediately turned around and ran, and soon ran away without a trace. God, he never thought that a few hairs could torture people to death. He swore that when he saw this woman in the future, he would hide far away, thinking that it was a little sheep, but he knew that it was a tigress, and the ghost knew if she had any other unbelievable means.
"Hey, I said I left my purse. Ma Xiuying smiled bitterly, looked at the criss-crossed alleys in front of her, and decisively gave up the idea of chasing Yuan Xing, and returned along the road with the book in her arms. At this moment, she chased Yuan Xing and didn't know where to go, but fortunately, the road was under her mouth, and she asked while walking all the way, and finally found the inn successfully.
Entering the inn, Ma Xiuying found that the Guo brothers had not come back yet, and she didn't care about them, so she walked into the room and carefully put the two books away.
Xiao Zhang was still sitting on the edge of the bed sewing clothes, and when he saw Ma Xiuying's hair scattered, he couldn't help but say angrily: "You kid, where are you going to the wilderness again? This is not Dingyuan, and you are not allowed to run around in the future." ”
Ma Xiuying smiled dryly, hugged Xiao Zhang's arm and coquettishly, "I bought two books and wanted to study on the road, but I was afraid that you would be worried, so I ran in a hurry." Mother-in-law, I lost my purse, you can sew another one for me, of course, it would be better if you could put a few copper plates in your purse. ”
"Naughty!" Xiao Zhang chuckled, untied his purse and handed it over, "I don't need it anyway, you take it first, and I'll make one for you when I'm empty." ”
"The stepmother is the best!" Ma Xiuying happily took the purse and gave Xiao Zhang a big bear hug.
"Go away, don't get in my way. Xiao Zhang pushed Ma Xiuying away, she was not used to this way of expressing enthusiasm.
The two were talking and laughing, and Xiao Er knocked on the door, "Girl, someone is looking for you outside." ”
