(746) Life and death are right and wrong
- "The villaged of the Liukou has been tried, please take a look." While replying, Jiang Chao handed the interrogation confession in his hand to Lin Shan, and then stood aside.
After waiting for a while, seeing that he was almost finished, Shan Liang on the side couldn't help but say: "My lord may think too highly of those rogues, but a bowl of oil and chili peppers was poured down, and before the torture equipment was on the wheel, they were all recruited."
Lin Shan compared the two handprints and signed confession transcripts that were obviously different, and saw that the contents were roughly the same, and he said with a smile in his tone: "It seems that things are exactly as you said, and there is no trick in these two confessions."
After a slight pause, he added: "However, it is not superfluous to keep an eye on it, maybe the rogue also knows that we will confess before giving up resistance." If we had only left one alive just now, we might have preferred to die. ”
When Shan Liang heard this, he realized that he was not thinking enough, and nodded hurriedly, with a sincere expression on his face.
Jiang Chao didn't participate in this conversation, he only waited for Lin Shan to finish reading the two confessions, and then asked: "What did the adults decide to do with the two rogues who confessed?"
"I saw their attack just now, it was brutal and non-negotiable, presumably they were all full of crimes and blood." Lin Shan's eyes lowered slightly, and his gaze repeatedly scanned a few lines of the two confessions, and then continued: "This kind of rogue, oppressing the good, plundering the village, and the bad habits have become a common practice, so they can't be left."
Jiang Chao arched his hand and said, "Take the order."
Lin Shan said slowly: "The stockade has also been handed over to you, and the rogues will be wiped out." But women and children are not killed, and they are cleaner. ”
Shan Liang on the side thought for a moment when he heard this, and couldn't help but say: "Destroy the bandit village, if there are women and children, I am afraid they will not survive, their husbands and families do evil, once they lose the protection of the village, even if they do not starve to death, they will be tortured by those who seek revenge." It is better to kill them all together, lest they be born with pain. ”
Lin Shan shook his head slightly and said, "These women and children. Eating and using it is the proceeds of plunder, and what is it to repay the suffering of life. Let them see their own mistakes clearly, and let the ordinary people who have been violated by the cottage see the end of evil, which is much more valuable than directly killing these women and children. There are evil thoughts in the hearts of the people, and if good persuasion is ineffective, then it is necessary to use forcible deterrence. ”
Shan Liang was slightly stunned, for a while, he couldn't distinguish between his brothers. Is it wrong to kill all the people he just built, and is it right for Lin Shan to stay alive at this time.
Lin Shan took out the seals he carried with him and put them on the two confessions. Then it was returned to Jiang Chao. Then he instructed: "After dealing with the affairs in the bandit village, these two confessions will be handed over to the Guanbei Prefecture, and the matter of material collection will be handled by the soldiers of the Guanbei County Government."
Jiang Chao took the confession and questioned: "Shouldn't this matter be notified to the county government of Shakou County?"
"The bandit village of 53 people, I'm afraid that the Shakou County Ya has already been deterred by the countershock, and I am a little worried that they will not be able to bear it." Lin Shan put away the seal he had just used. Xu Xu said: "I still made the county guards move, and besides, I also guarded against the lack of strictness in the mouth of the county government." If it's not for tomorrow, there might be another way to do it...... That's fine. ”
Jiang Chao had no objections, but he did not immediately take the order to leave, but handed over the confession with Lin Shan's seal to Shan Liang beside him. The matter was also handed over.
Seeing Shan Liang walk away, Jiang Chao turned his gaze. looked at Lin Shan and said, "My lord, let's go into the house and talk about it in detail."
The two walked into the room, watched Lin Shan sit down on the recliner first, and then Jiang Chao sat down on the stool next to him, sorted out the thoughts in his mind, and then slowly said: "Big brother, I also tried out the things you ordered before." Although those rogues are fierce, they will attack you suddenly, and in addition to their own inferiority, as you might expect, there is indeed another reason. ”
After a slight pause, Jiang Chao relayed the results of his second interrogation of the two rogues to Lin Shan.
The reason why Jiang Chao repeated the interrogation of the two rogues who had already confessed was actually in accordance with Lin Shan's orders. However, the two guards involved in the first interrogation did not know anything about it.
This is because the repeated interrogation is related to Lin Shan's search for his junior brother, and for this matter, only Jiang Chao knows about it in the current residence, except for Chen Jiu.
After listening to Jiang Chao's reply, Lin Shan fell silent.
Jiang Chao waited for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Perhaps...... Mr. Cen went to Shakou County, estimated the time, and now it is too late to find out. ”
"It's too late." Lin Shan sighed, slowed down his shoulders, leaned on the recliner with a little wilting, and said slowly: "I will order you to interrogate, in fact, I just want to confirm this matter, but there will be no other actions other than that." If you want to chase it, I'll let you chase it as soon as you leave the inn. It's too much time, even if I catch up with him, I don't have time to take him back to the Shimen school, so let him stay outside for another year! We must not let this delay the important events on our side. ”
Regarding Lin Shan's search for his junior brother, although Jiang Chao learned about it later, this did not prevent him from understanding Lin Shan's difficult intentions.
After looking for more than ten years, once I had a more accurate whereabouts result, I had to let it go...... Jiang Chao looked at Lin Shan, who seemed to be distracted on the recliner, and felt a little unbearable in his heart.
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Chao said again: "Big brother, you can write a letter and make an appointment with Mr. Cen." I took this letter to Shakou County for a trip, and it didn't take long to go back and forth, whether it was fruitful or not. ”
"No need." Lin Shan shook his head, "I don't want to agree on anything with him other than taking him back directly." ”
Jiang Chao wanted to speak and stopped, but finally stopped saying anything.
"Stand down, I'm going to be alone for a while." Lin Shan slowly closed his eyes, "Don't think about Shakou County anymore, just prepare yourself." ”
Jiang Chao immediately stood up, silently bowed his hand to the person on the recliner, and then walked away lightly.
……
The sun is setting, but it has not completely submerged into the western mountains, but it is like a falling heavenly fire, igniting all the clouds that seem to be next to the mountain peaks and refusing to disperse, and the glow is like burning, reflecting half of the sky.
There was a lot of trouble on the road, and when he arrived in Shakou County, Cen Chi already felt quite tired, and he just wanted to stay in the inn in the county, and then fell asleep. However, when he raised his head and saw the three-character stone inscription of "Shakou County", a thought suddenly lit up in his heart, and although there was still fatigue on his face, his spirit gradually became excited.
Fang Wu, a middle-aged Taoist who was riding side by side with him, glanced sideways at this time, and saw that his slightly sickly face had a strange expression, and couldn't help asking, "You seem to have some understanding?"
"No," Cen Chi shook his head, "I'm just...... Suddenly I want to drink, and I drink a lot of alcohol. Lao Dao, do you dare to accompany you?"
Fang Wu had already seen Cen Chi's madness halfway through, and when he heard this, he just shook his head again and again, and said with a slightly surprised expression: "What are you crazy again?"
Gao Qian, who was walking behind, also persuaded at this time: "Mr. Cen, it is inevitable that the residual poison will return, and I advise you to avoid bars."
Wine can speed up blood flow, and there is indeed a risk of provoking the outbreak of residual poison in Cen Chi's body, Gao Qian is indeed right to say this at this time, and it is also a good intention.
Cen Chi sighed when he heard this, he didn't appreciate it, he only shook his head and said, "It's boring."
……
After entering the county seat, the three of them soon settled in the "Shacheng Inn".
As for the situation of the "Shacheng Inn", in fact, the three of them had already figured out the bottom on the way before they arrived, and this all depended on the strong strength of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Kyoto Prefecture.
As early as when Cen Chi intended to go north, his intention was handed back to the Kyoto Prime Minister by Gao Qian with a piece of paper, and soon the Prime Minister's Mansion handed back the route plan. The map is still sketched by Lu She, meticulous, and as for the precautions on the itinerary, the Xiangfu side is almost equivalent to drawing a box for Cen Chi, and there are guides for every step.
If Cen Chi was only out for a few months, such a meticulous arrangement would indeed make him worry a lot in life, so that he could devote himself to appreciating and comprehending the scenery on the road.
But this is clearly not the case.
Therefore, the delicate arrangement of the Prime Minister's Mansion has gradually become the most disgusting place for Cen Chi.
And today, because of the encounter with Chen Jiu on the road, this has made an idea that Cen Chi has been shelving in his heart for a long time has been turned out again, and it has an unstoppable momentum of implementation.
Staying in the hotel and staying overnight, handling miscellaneous affairs is still done by Gao Qian. Cen had already entered the guest room to rest, and Fang Wu ordered a pot of new tea in the inn hall, tasted it slowly, and then went back to his room.
When he walked to the door, Fang Wu was just about to push the door, when he suddenly heard a call from the next room:
"Old-fashioned."
Fang Wu hesitated for a moment, then turned his steps and entered the next guest room.
In the room, Cen Chi was neatly dressed and sat upright at the table, facing the door, meeting Fang Wu's gaze when he had just walked in.
Fang Wu's face showed a hint of surprise and said, "I thought you had already rested."
Cen Chi didn't answer him on this topic, but just spread his hands flatly: "Sit."
Fang Wu sat down opposite Cen Chi and stared at Cen Chi for a while before saying, "Is there something wrong with you?"
"Yes." Cen Chi nodded.
Fang Wu's eyes drooped slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he raised his eyes and said, "Do you still want to drink?"
"More than that." Cen Chi finally ended the rhythm of speaking with only one word as soon as he opened his mouth, and after a pause, he continued: "Tell you something, I don't know if you will be annoyed."
Hearing his words, Fang Wu suddenly had a hint of consciousness in his heart, raised his eyebrows and said, "I always feel that your temperament is a little strange today, but I can't tell what the fault is."
Cen Chi suddenly smiled, and then said, "Your feelings are not wrong."
Fang Wu was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Cen Chi to respond to his words in this way.
Immediately afterwards, he heard Cen Chi say: "Today's me is indeed a little different from the past me." -
