Chapter 122: Interrogation
Ding Zixiu naturally didn't believe that he was just an ordinary person, and his broken arm was still bleeding, but he still gritted his teeth and stoiced.
"Fat fish, stop the bleeding for him first." Yuwen Chengchao was also relieved to see that the overall situation had been decided, but when he saw the blood flowing from Ding Zixiu's broken arm, he knew that if it went on like this, Ding Zixiu would inevitably die of excessive blood loss.
Of course, Yuwen Chengchao didn't care about Ding Zixiu's life or death.
It's just that before he got the confession he wanted, Yuwen Chengchao naturally didn't want to let him die.
The fat fish naturally understood Yuwen Chengchao's thoughts, and took out the medicine from his arms to stop bleeding, but Ding Zixiu had already smiled and said, "How is the eldest prince going to send me down?" ”
"You should know the results." Yuwen Chengchao said coldly.
Ding Zixiu smiled: "I know you want to kill me with your own hands, so that you can be famous, but it's a pity ......!" ”
"What a pity?"
"It's a pity that Ding's life has always been decided by himself." Ding Zixiu said lightly: "So far, although I can't choose to live, how to die, it's up to me to decide." ”
Yuwen Chengchao was stunned, but immediately understood, and exclaimed: "Be careful of his ......!"
But seeing that Ding Zixiu's face changed suddenly, Yuwen Chengchao was extremely fast, rushed forward, and grabbed Ding Zixiu's cheekbone, but a stream of blood had already spurted out of Ding Zixiu's mouth.
Qin Xiao was also taken aback, even those mountain bandits who had already surrendered were also shocked and discolored.
Biting your tongue and killing yourself!
Qin Xiaowan didn't expect Ding Zixiu to be so ruthless that he actually bit his tongue and committed suicide.
Ding Zixiu naturally understands that falling into the hands of Yuwen Chengchao, there is no reason to live, and to live for a while is nothing more than Yuwen Chengchao wanting to torture him to extract a confession, he knows very well what he will face next, but he just doesn't give Yuwen Chengchao this opportunity.
When Yuwen Chengchao saw this situation, he knew that he was powerless to return to heaven, and his heart was shocked.
He thought that he had captured Ding Zixiu alive, so no matter what method he used, he would ask the answer he wanted to know from Ding Zixiu's mouth, but who would have thought that this bandit was even more fierce than he thought, so he resolutely bit his tongue and committed suicide, not giving him any chance to ask.
Until Ding Zixiu's body fell to the ground softly, Yuwen Chengchao couldn't come back to his senses.
Fat Fish understands Yuwen Chengchao's current mood.
This is like a treasure that has been found with great difficulty, just when you see it, the treasure will be shattered, and for Yuwen Chengchao, this is of course a matter of extreme annoyance.
"Dapeng, you and Chen.... Chen Zhitai went to the suspension bridge. Fat Yu knew that the overall situation seemed to have been decided, but it was not foolproof, only when Yuan Shangyu's soldiers and horses crossed the suspension bridge, that would be done: "Let them come over quickly." Tell Commander Yuan that as long as there are people on the mountain who disarm and surrender, don't hurt them. ”
In fact, he also told the mountain bandits who surrendered on the spot that as long as they surrendered honestly, there would be no danger of their lives.
Dapeng did not delay, and asked Chen Zhitai to follow him to pick up Yuan Shangyu.
"Everyone else is standing still." Fat Yu said loudly: "The eldest prince is full of promises, as long as you surrender, no one will hurt you, but if anyone is stubborn, then no one can save it." He said in a low voice: "Eldest son, take a rest in the first room." ”
Yuwen Chengchao came back to his senses, saw that Fat Yu made a look at him, and comprehended, a few people escorted the second master Zhang Shubao into Ding Zixiu's wooden house, the house was simply furnished, and after Fat Yu and a few others entered the house, he closed the door, let out a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice: "Eldest prince, let's wait here, Commander Yuan will bring people to arrive soon." ”
Yuwen Chengchao nodded, looked up at Ning Zhifeng, saw the spear tip on his shoulder, and asked, "Crazy, how are you doing?" ”
"It's not a big problem." Ning Zhifeng sat on the floor and sighed: "Fortunately, Wang Xiao is extraordinary, otherwise we are afraid that none of us will leave alive tonight." ”
Yuwen Chengchao sighed: "It's me who is stubborn and self-confident, and I ..... you and you!" ”
"Eldest son, that's not what I meant." Ning Zhifeng thought that Yuwen Chengchao had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "I mean ......! ”
"I understand." Yuwen Chengchao said with a smile: "Fortunately, although everyone is injured, there is no danger of life, and I feel a little at ease." Turning his head to look at Qin Xiao, he saw that Qin Xiao was guarding the second leader Zhang Shubao with a knife, approached the past, stared at Zhang Shubao and said, "Do you want to die or live?" ”
Of course, Zhang Shubao did not have the backbone of Ding Zixiu, his face was pale, he raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and his voice trembled: "Big ..... Eldest son, I haven't killed anyone, I'm just ..... It's just that I was forced to work under Ding Zixiu, and I haven't done anything hurtful, please .....! ”
"I ask, you answer, if you are honest, I can spare your dog's life." Yuwen Chengchao didn't talk to him, and asked directly: "Why did Ding Zixiu ambush him in advance?" Did he really expect us to come? ”
The corners of Zhang Shubao's eyes twitched, his lips opened, but Qin Xiao's blade was already attached to his throat, and he said coldly: "The eldest prince asks, if there is a word of deception, kill immediately!" ”
Zhang Shubao hurriedly said: "Don't dare." After hesitating, he said: "Eldest son, a few days ago, someone went up the mountain and asked someone to send a letterhead to Ding Zixiu, and after Ding Zixiu read the letter, he crossed the bridge that night, and then told me that the officers and soldiers were going to attack Jigong Gorge recently. ”
Yuwen Chengchao and Qin Xiao glanced at each other and said, "Sure enough, someone leaked the plan." ”
Qin Xiao had also thought that Ding Zixiu could not have such wisdom, and he had set such a careful trap in anticipation of the enemy.
"What's in the letter?"
"The little ones don't know, I really don't know." Zhang Shubao said: "When Ding Zixiu read the letter, I was indeed next to me, but he didn't give me a look, and after reading it, he threw it directly into the fire and burned it." ”
Yuwen Chengchao frowned and said, "Then who did he go to see, you don't know?" ”
"I don't know." Zhang Shubao shook his head slightly: "Later, I heard from the person on the other side of the drawbridge that the person wrapped himself tightly in a black robe, and also wore a mask, and when he asked people to send the letter to Ding Zixiu, he also said that it must be handed over directly to Ding Zixiu." ”
"Ding Zixiu left that night, he should have gone to see that person." Fat Yu had already gone over to deal with the spear tip on Ning Zhifeng's shoulder at this time, and said in a low voice: "If nothing else, he knew about our plan from that person's mouth that night." ”
Zhang Shubao said: "The next day, he sent Chen Zhitai down the mountain to grab grain, which seemed careless, but in fact deliberately reminded Chen Zhitai that the official road had turned back to the grain team in the past few days. After a pause, he continued: "Ding Zixiu knows that Chen Zhitai is simple-minded and earnest, if he sees the grain team, he will definitely join the army. ”
"You know that Chen Zhitai is simple-minded, so he deliberately let him fall into a trap."
"It's not just that." Zhang Shubao said: "Chen Zhitai is greedy for life and afraid of death, once he falls into your hands, he will definitely rebel and explain all the situations in the mountains." After a moment's hesitation, he said: "Chen Zhitai is an indispensable person in Ding Zixiu's plan, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is very clear about the situation in the mountains, and the most important thing is that he is one of the few people in the mountains who can see Ding Zixiu at any time." Ding Zixiu calculates step by step, and calculates that the eldest prince will definitely fall into the trap, and he will definitely ..... Will use Chen Zhitai to get close to him. ”
Yuwen Chengchao sneered: "Ding Zixiu claims to know me very well, and it seems that he is not wrong. In this world, the person who knows you best is often not your friend, but the enemy who hates you to the core. ”
"So Ding Zixiu set up an ambush and waited for the eldest prince to throw himself into the net." Zhang Shubao said: "Fortunately..... Fortunately, the eldest prince is resourceful and has ..... by his side With this young hero, the auspicious people have their own natural appearance, and they turn evil into auspicious ......! ”
"Let me ask you again, not long ago, the Yuwen family was robbed at the horse farm under Qilian Mountain, but Ding Zixiu sent someone to do it?" Yuwen Chengchao interrupted.
Zhang Shubao immediately shook his head and said, "There is no such thing." Ding Zixiu did have a hatred for the Yuwen family, but he also knew that with his current strength, it was impossible for the Yuwen family to be the opponent at all, and he wanted to accumulate strength and wait until the time was ripe to ..... Attack the Yuwen family again. ”
"Zhang Shubao, I advise you to tell the truth." Fat Yu said coldly on the side: "You said that Ding Zixiu wants to accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity, what time can he wait?" You say, "Did you rob the horse farm?" ”
"The eldest son, I searched all over Jigong Gorge, but I couldn't find ten horses." Zhang Shubao said with a bitter face: "We really didn't rob the horse farm. ”
Yuwen Chengchao's expression was even more solemn, and he asked, "You said that Ding Zixiu wants to wait for the time to be ripe, what does that mean?" What time to wait? ”
Ding Zixiu didn't say. Zhang Shubao said: "He is cunning, and there are many things that he won't tell us. You have also seen that he and Chen Zhitai married Jin Lan, but in fact, he only treated him as a dog, and did not treat him as a brother at all. In his eyes, I'm just a dog, I can do something and keep it, and one day it's useless, and I don't recognize people. ”
There was silence in the room for a moment, and suddenly Ning Zhifeng snorted, his face was full of pain, but it was the fat fish who pulled out the tip of the spear from his shoulder, the flesh and blood at the wound were blurred, the fat fish took a wine jar and said, "Hold back!" "Sprinkle the liquor on the wound.
Ning Zhifeng's face was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, but he still gritted his teeth and endured it, the fat fish acted neatly, quickly cleaned the wound, and then applied the wound medicine and tied it with a cloth towel, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Rest for a month, ensure that you recover as before." ”
Ning Zhifeng also raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his face, and said with a smile: "Fat fish, I will invite you to drink when I turn around." Seeing Yuwen Chengchao's solemn face, he said in a low voice: "Eldest prince, if the robbery of the racecourse was not done by Ding Zixiu, then ......!"
Yuwen Chengchao didn't answer, stood up, walked to the door, opened the door, and went out, a few people didn't know what Yuwen Chengchao was going to do, but soon saw him come in with a few knives, throw them on the ground, and said to Fat Fish: "Fat Fish, you are quite familiar with weapons, take a closer look, what is wrong with these knives." ”
The fat fish moved over, took the knife in his hand, knew that this was the big knife used by those mountain bandits, looked at it carefully, his face was ugly, and he frowned: "Big boy, something is wrong!" ”
