On the next day, Heifu, who was asleep on the desk, woke up in a daze and found that it was not yet dawn, and what came into his ears was not the rooster crow, but the screams that had not stopped all night......

"It's been all night."

He couldn't help but feel a little pity for the suspect, probably because Qin Lu did not advocate the use of torture during the trial, and Qin Guo's execution was still primitive, just a simple beating of the body with wooden sticks and bamboo sticks, but the pain caused was huge enough. Moreover, if you don't fight, you will be beaten, and once you are tortured, you will be beaten until you open your mouth!

After a while, the intermittent screams gradually subsided, and when the stone was brought up again, he was covered in bruises.

Last night, Wei Shi Anpu, who was hit and almost vomited blood, was personally tortured, he was merciless, and on the back of the stone, there was almost no intact skin, all of which were bloody flogging, and the person fainted in pain, and only woke up shivering after being poured cold water.

"To say, or not to say?"

Ling Shi Le also secretly hated Shi for intimidating himself just now, this kind Qin official who originally loved to laugh, his face was cold at the moment.

Shi, who had been beaten to the brim, looked up, glanced at Heifu, who had prevented him from committing suicide, and after laughing self-deprecatingly, he finally relented.

No matter how beaten a man is, he can't survive the torture, and unless he dies, the dead can't speak.

Things have to start from a year ago, Shi went up the mountain one day to chop wood, but unexpectedly stepped on the clamp used by Orion to catch animals. This thing couldn't be broken by himself, he called for help to no avail, and attracted a big colorful leopard......

Seeing that he was about to die in the leopard's mouth, at this moment, a thin man passing by killed the leopard and saved his life.

Since then, Shi regarded that person as a benevolent father, obeyed his words, and the two often corresponded, gradually becoming inseparable friends.

"What's the name of the man who saved you? What is your origin? ”

Shi was also honest at this time, and said in a fifteen-ten manner: "His name is Ao, he is a mediocre cultivator, he lives in the countryside, he was originally from Chu Guoshi, and he fled from the south bank of the Great River three years ago. They were not given land, so they could only work as mediocre servants to make ends meet. ”

Sure enough, it was the group of cultivators who had a close relationship with Shi, and Wei Shi Anpu whispered that you can rest assured, he has already let people control this group of people.

Shi continued: "A few days ago, Ao found me again and wanted me to do something for him......"

"Murder?" Heifu asked with a frown.

"Nope." Shi wore shackles and shook his head with difficulty: "According to him, he is going to catch the traitor......"

Seeing that Shi finally said the key point, everyone immediately cheered up.

Ao told Shi that the prison gate in the willow tree had bullied the wife of one of his companions, and he had heard that the prison gate there often hooked up with the widow and would commit adultery with the wife of the hunter when he was not at home......

In the Qin State, although the improper relationship between men and women was cracked down, it was not possible to say that a man and a woman committed adultery, and that it was only counted if the adultery was caught in bed.

Shi was very stupid, believed it, and brought his own knife that day according to Ao's instructions, but he didn't think about what it was for.

"I will first go to the place where the mediocre cultivators live in the township, and bring Ao out, because the mediocre cultivators are not allowed to leave the township unless they are hired."

"When Ao and I went to the willow tree, it was the time of the morning meal, and the men and women in it had gone down to the fields, and we waited outside the door of Orion's house, and I passed through the crack in the window, and the prison gate was indeed committing adultery with Orion's wife......"

"Ao said that he would do it, told me to look outside, and as he spoke, he borrowed my shoulder, kicked open the window, and jumped in, only then did I realize that the patter I hung on my waist was in Ao's hands at some point!"

When mentioning this, Shi was still a little incredulous.

Heifu bowed slightly, his inference that the murderer was two people, one standing outside the house, and the other jumping into the murder, was completely correct!

Wei Shi Anpu couldn't wait, and immediately got up and said: "I asked yesterday, those mediocre cultivators went to a certain place in the township to help harvest rice, that Ao must also be among them, I have asked a few pavilion chiefs to bring people over to arrest them, and I will rush over immediately!" With that, he went out with a roar.

Le urged: "And then! ”

"The next thing, everyone knows, Ao is not a traitor at all, he directly killed the inner prison gate, and then caught up with Orion's wife, stabbed her to death, and then took the sword of the inner prison gate, and a bag of copper coins came out...... By the way, there are also two wooden beast clips. ”

"And you got the trap?"

Heifu was slightly surprised, they didn't know this before, Orion's house was messy, especially the beast clip, and they did a lot, I'm afraid there were a few, and the hunter himself didn't know, so he didn't report it, he was really a confused honest man, but he didn't know, what did the murderer Ao do with the beast clip?

Le continued to ask: "Did Ao tell you afterwards why he killed the prison gate!" ”

Shi was silent again, as if hesitating, he had once died in order to protect this secret.

Heifu immediately said: "Shi, you see, I have a pottery bowl in my left hand, and the bowl is water, and there will be rice later." The right hand is the bamboo strip that continues the execution, which one you choose, it's up to you. ”

Shi looked at Heifu with some resentment, he had not been sticky since yesterday, and he had been whipped all night, and now his lips were cracked, he was thirsty and hungry, and his spirit was at its weakest.

After a battle between heaven and man, Shi seemed to have succumbed, he chose water, and after taking a few sips, he said dejectedly: "At that time, I was also very puzzled, but I didn't say anything, and after Ao took me to a safe place, he bowed down to me and apologized, and then he told the truth." ”

"It turned out that they were a group of Chu people, a total of ten people, originally heard that the life of Qin was better than that of Chu, and they fled from the famine, but who expected that they had no place to stand, so they could only give people a mediocre guarantee. So the remaining eight people began to regret coming to Qin and wanted to go back to their hometown of Chu. It was Ao who brought them out at the beginning, and now, he also wants to bring back everyone with no one left......"

Le Pai said: "It turns out that I want to be a dead man!" Hey, does he think that my Qin State is the same as the Chu State, you can enter if you want to, and you can get out if you want to? The second and third sons, immediately send someone to catch up with Captain Shi and inform him of the matter, just say that none of those mediocre cultivators can be let go! Catch them all! ”

Bang Sheng, in the Qin State, which has a strict household registration system, is synonymous with defection, and the leader will be directly executed, and the rest will be Chengdan!

Shi Dao: "Ao also knew that this matter was not easy, so he pooled money with everyone, bribed the inner prison gate, and asked the inner prison gate to help them forge the examination and pass, so that they could lie about going to be forced labor, arrive near the border, and then escape from the mountains and forests. ”

"That's how the more than 2,000 money that the prison gate got came from!" Le hurriedly asked people to record it, and another suspicion was solved.

At this time, Heifu could roughly guess the plot behind: "But the prison gate received money and didn't do anything, or was he scared, so he decided to report them to the government?" ”

Shi Dao: "Yes, Ao also sensed the intentions of the Inner Prison Gate, so he decided to kill him before he reported him!" ”

Heifu asked a little strangely: "Ao obviously deceived you and let you intervene in a murder case, but you didn't resent him and denounced him, and yesterday you tried to kill yourself in vain to keep Ao's secret, why is this?" ”

Shi raised his head and said: "Ao fought with the leopard that day, and did not hesitate to be injured, I have the grace to save my life, I owe him this life, when he wants to use it, when to take it!" What to talk about what drags down and doesn't drag! ”

"You don't know that harboring murderers is against the laws of the Qin State?"

Shi Dayi said awe-inspiringly: "The villain is despicable, he doesn't understand the law, he only understands the truth of being a man, and if he doesn't keep his promise there, he should die, and if he commits adultery with someone, he should die." I would rather break the law than my husband's enmity and faithfulness. ”

"It's this damn chivalrous righteousness again."

Le scolded, Heifu knew that the people Qin Zhi hated the most were these light heroes.

But breaking the law is breaking the law, Shi will pay the price for this, as an accomplice, he did not report it afterwards, and even violently resisted the law after being arrested, when he was guilty of the same crime as the murderer, it was difficult to escape death!

"As for Na Ao, as well as those mediocre cultivators who tried to perish in Chu, they will also be captured by Wei Shi soon, I have heard, catch a dead man and reward seven gold!"

Le looked at Heifu and said with a smile: "Heifu Pavilion Chief, I finally have a share of the bounty this time!" ”

Le is ridiculing the first two cases of the black husband being rewarded, and he is always one step late.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Shi laughed again.

"Hahahaha, the two officials, if you think that you can catch Ao and the others in this way, then you are very wrong!"

"What else do you have to hide!"

"There is no him, but after Ao killed the inner prison gate that day, he immediately had a new way and invited me to leave the Qin State with him. I felt his kindness deeply, and although I was unwilling to flee into Chu together, I was willing to help him, and when I saw that the officials were tracking down the missing sword, I continued to hang the scabbard with the sword stuck in it, pretending that nothing had happened. But I didn't expect that I would be captured by you so soon, and the name of Heifu Pavilion Chang'an Lu Tiangu and breaking the family and destroying the door is really true! The villain was in awe and admiration, and had nothing to say. ”

For these two nicknames, Heifu couldn't laugh or cry.

Shi continued to sneer and said, "But since I have been arrested, Ao Ding has learned the news, and he took people away yesterday!" Thou shalt wait now to arrest him, but it is too late! ”

"Tell me quickly, Ao is going to plan how to escape!" Le suddenly changed color, raised the bamboo stick and jerked it at the stone!

Shi gritted his teeth at this time, no matter how hard he hit, he didn't say anything more.

"Could it be that his confession is deliberately delaying time for Ao and the others?" Heifu suddenly realized, thinking about it like this, this stone's fierceness when he wanted to commit suicide last night, and today's sudden weak confession, it makes sense, this is a smart and righteous light hero, it's a pity.

Just then, the door was pushed open! Sweating profusely, Wei Shi Anpu frowned and rushed in.

"I met the Pavilion Guards halfway through and reported that the cultivators didn't go where they were hired! Some say they disappeared halfway through! ”

"Could it be that this group of people is planning to flee back to Chu on foot?"

Everyone felt a little incredible, although Anlu County was next to the Chu State, whether it was to the south or east, they had to walk dozens of miles, passing through several pavilions along the way. Once the Qin State Government issued an arrest warrant, sent light cavalry to chase after it, and let the pavilions search the mountains and forests, those eight people had no reason to escape safely!

At this moment, someone rushed to inform him: "Gentlemen, something is wrong! In the direction of the garden in the township, there is a fire! ”

"The ...... in the township" Heifu changed color, wasn't that the place where he wanted to go to the horse on the day of the crime? With that, everything becomes transparent.

"Not good! They want to rob the horses and escape! ”
