Chen Ran came out of the military tent and had nothing to do, and suddenly thought that the people from the Tingwei Mansion were interrogating the left prime minister of the Bohai Kingdom, Han Yuanyan Han, and suddenly became interested, and walked over to the camp tent of the Tingwei Mansion.

When I got to the outside of the account, I heard that there was no screaming, and I was a little disappointed.

The few court lieutenants guarding outside the door knew him and greeted him with a smile.

Chen Ran asked, "Which adult is asking?" ”

A court lieutenant replied, "It's Lord Baiban Nie." ”

After Fang Baijing, the Qianban of the Tingwei Mansion in Baishan Pass, returned to Chang'an, the current head of the Tingwei Mansion in the army is Nie Ye, Nie Ye is not very old, it is said that he is only nineteen years old, and he is one of Fang Baijing's extremely important subordinates, everyone says that he will inevitably be one of the Thousand Offices of the Tingwei Mansion in the future, and from the analysis of the age structure, it is very likely that Han Zhaozhi will retire and be promoted to Du Tingwei, and Nie Ye, who is only nineteen years old, will be promoted to Qianban, and he may be the next candidate for Du Tingwei in the future.

Chen Ran had met Nie Ye a few times before, and he thought he was a very interesting young man, but he had always learned Fang Baijing's strength, and the whole person was tense, cold but cold, but it didn't seem humane.

In fact, Fang Baijing learned the ruthlessness from Han Zhaozhi, and Nie Ye learned it from Fang Baijing.

Up and down the Tingwei Mansion, there are too many people who have been affected by Han Zhaozhi.

But since the last time Chen Ran found a place where no one was trying to make it easier, and saw that Nie Ye was also peeing in the woods, and when he was peeing and writing, he knew that this child was not so simple.

The vast majority of men have done this kind of thing of peeing and writing, and half of them write relatively simple words, such as big, but no one will ever write small, psychological effect, some people have written their own surname, some people have written other people's surnames, but there must not be many people like Nie Ye who have written a wave of words.

Chen Ran entered the military tent and saw Nie Ye sitting on a chair cutting his nails.

This is the usual routine of the Tingwei Mansion, don't ask anything at first, just sit opposite and cut your nails quietly, at some point, the nail clippers are actually a hint, and cutting your nails is also a hint, which will bring a lot of psychological pressure to the prisoner.

This is also learned from Han Zhaozhi.

It was quiet in the tent, so the sound of coughing and cutting nails seemed a little harsh.

As soon as Nie Ye looked up and saw Chen Ran coming in, he hurriedly got up: "Team Chen." ”

Chen Ran laughed: "I'm fine, just come over to see if this envoy has recruited anything, the general asked me to go to sleep and rest, but where can I sleep, I think you should be interesting here, come over to learn, Nie Baiban asked if anything." ”

"Haven't asked yet."

Nie Ye asked people to bring a stool to put beside him, and after the two sat down, he said to Chen Ran: "Anyway, this is also the left prime minister of Bohai State, an important minister of a country, so you can't pull out people's nails as soon as you come up, and you can't shave your hair first when you come up, and of course you can't use bamboo sticks to insert your nails, salute first and then soldier." ”

Chen Ran nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, salute first and then soldier." ”

He looked at Han Yuanyan: "Do you know what the Daning Tingwei Mansion does?" ”

Han Yuanyan didn't know that it was strange, the notoriety of the Tingwei Mansion was not only well-known in Daning, but most of the countries around Daning, including Heiwu, knew what the Tingwei Mansion of the Ning State was for, and they all knew what kind of people were in the Tingwei Mansion.

Han Yuanyan swallowed and foamed: "I know, but don't you feel like this?" Ning Guo boasted of being a great country in the Celestial Empire, I was an envoy, since ancient times, the two countries did not fight each other, and the name of His Majesty Emperor Daning's kindness and righteousness spread all over the world, and you will also shame His Majesty Emperor Daning's face if you do this. ”

"Who said they were going to kill you?"

Chen Ran pointed at Nie Ye: "Lord Nie is talking about pulling out your nails, or nailing bamboo sticks into your nails, which is different from beheading you...... By the way, Lord Han, have you seen people in the past with bamboo sticks in their fingernails? ”

Han Yuanyan's forehead was already nervously bursting with a layer of sweat, and being frightened by Chen Ran and Nie Ye, the sweat on his forehead became more, flowing down his face, and he kept wiping it with his sleeve.

"No, I haven't seen it."

"Come, you can see."

Nie Ye shouted outside, "Bring a captive in." ”

After a short time, two court lieutenants escorted in a soldier of the Bohai State wearing a mutilated lieutenant uniform, who looked to be about forty years old, with a typical Bohai appearance, high cheekbones, single eyelids, and thin lips.

Nie Ye had the captain tied to a chair that had been fixed to the ground before, and then he pulled his chair and sat down opposite the captain.

"How many defenders are there in Pingguang City?"

Nie Ye asked.

The lieutenant looked at Nie Ye nervously, and then subconsciously looked at Han Yuanyan, with his level, he was not enough to know this Zuo Prime Minister, but he recognized the official uniform on Han Yuanyan's body.

"I ...... I don't know. ”

"Plug it in."

Chen Ran said beside him: "It's too troublesome to ignore the interrogation step." ”

Nie Ye originally wanted to go through the procedure, but after thinking about it, it didn't matter, and pointed to the captain: "Punishment." ”

Two lieutenants came up and pressed the captain's hand on the armrest of the seat, one lieutenant opened the cloth bag he was carrying, inside was a slender iron nail, the longest one could be a foot, Chen Ran saw this thing for the first time, he really thought it was a bamboo stick, it turned out to be iron, the inch-long one was nailed, and the one that was more than a foot long was inserted into it?

Nie Ye saw Chen Ran's serious doubts and explained, "Disposable things like bamboo sticks are too wasteful. ”

Chen Ran was embarrassed to say that what you explained was not what I was puzzled about, but he was embarrassed to ask what the iron nails that were more than a foot long were used, and he always felt a little obscene.

Tingwei pulled out an iron nail, and under the frightened gaze of the captain, he approached the iron nail to his finger, and the captain of the Bohai Kingdom began to struggle violently, and kept yelling, but the two Tingwei around him pressed him to death, and the chair was already fixed, how could he struggle out.

"Don't, please, don't."

The captain's hoarse shout made Han Yuanyan tremble, he was a literati, where had he ever seen such a scene.

Nie Ye said lightly: "I'll give you one last chance, how many defenders are there in Pingguang City?" ”

"I ......"

The captain looked at Nie Ye with a pale face, and turned his head to look at Han Yuanyan again.

Han Yuanyan was so frightened that he turned his head and didn't dare to look at him.

"Hmm."

Nie Ye pulled a chair and sat next to Han Yuanyan: "It seems that he seems to regard you as the backbone of his heart, yes, you are in a high position and you are the left prime minister of the Bohai Kingdom, since the King of Bohai sent you, it means that he trusts you enough to respect you, you see that your people look at you so pitifully, shouldn't you say something?" ”

Han Yuanyan just turned his head and didn't look at Nie Ye, nor at the school captain.

Chen Ran said with a smile next to him: "There is a Lord Han in the Tingwei Mansion, and this one in front of him is also Lord Han, it is quite interesting to think about it to treat a Lord Han in the Tingwei Mansion." ”

Nie Ye shook his head with a smile and pointed at Han Yuanyan: "Just punish him, it's hard for a low-level lieutenant to have no achievements." ”

The captain pinching the iron nail immediately turned to Han Yuanyan's side, and the two court captains who pressed the school captain also came over, one stood behind Han Yuanyan and pressed his shoulder, and the other leaned over and pressed Han Yuanyan's hand on the armrest of the seat, Han Yuanyan suddenly seemed to explode, and he wanted to stand up frantically, but where could he be a literati who could beat two wolf-like court captains, who were punched in the corners of the mouth, his mouth was broken, blood flowed, and his head was still buzzing.

"Punishment."

Nie Ye commanded, and the iron nail in Tingwei's hand immediately aimed at Han Yuanyan's fingernails.

And the captain of the Bohai State who was sitting next to him couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sixty thousand!"

Han Yuanyan suddenly shouted: "There are 60,000 elite forbidden troops in Pingguang City, all of which are soldiers who can fight well, in addition to these 60,000 forbidden troops, there are also defeated soldiers who retreat to the city, adding up to more than 10,000 people, but you should understand that under the grace of the King of Bohai, the 200,000 people in the city will also be his guards, and at that time, hundreds of thousands of people in the city will be the army defending the city." ”

"I'm not really interested in knowing how many defenders there are in the city."

Nie Ye walked to Han Yuanyan's side and pressed Han Yuanyan's shoulder with his palm: "I just want to see if your psychological defense line is strong, you may not have thought about it yourself, when you open your mouth and give me the first answer, then the answers will be endless." ”

Han Yuanyan's face turned pale: "Impossible." ”

Han Yuanyan pointed at the captain: "Let him go, send him back to Pingguang City, and say that he left Lord Han here in exchange, and he went back to report to King Bohai." ”

The captain's face suddenly became happy.

But then there was fear in his eyes.

"No!"

Han Yuanyan immediately became anxious: "I can't let him go back, let him go back and talk nonsense, the King of Bohai will kill my whole family." ”

Nie Ye beckoned: "Bring a few more people back, and ask for prisoners above the rank of captain." ”

After a short time, Captain Ting brought in six or seven more prisoners of the Bohai Kingdom, including two fifth-rank generals, one fourth-rank general, and the rest were captains.

"Do you know this Lord Han? If you don't know, I'll tell you about it. ”

Nie Ye pointed at Han Yuanyan and said: "This is your Zuo Prime Minister Han Yuanyan of the Bohai Kingdom, he has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, he is willing to assist my Daning's army to break through Pingguang City, so I gave him a guarantee, not only will he not kill his whole family after the city is broken, but also retain his official position, he can continue to be an official in the future, do things for the people who stay in Pingguang City, and there will be rich rewards for doing a good job, and he can even send his family to Chang'an City to settle down." ”

Nie Ye looked at the six or seven people: "What about you?" Is there anyone who is willing to be with Lord Han? ”

Han Yuanyan shouted loudly: "I didn't! ”

"Then who told me just now that there are 60,000 forbidden troops in the defenders of the city?"

Nie Ye immediately asked.

Han Yuanyan was speechless for a moment.

"Take people out."

Nie Ye gave an order, and Ting Wei immediately took the six or seven people out.

Nie Ye sat opposite Han Yuanyan and looked directly into Han Yuanyan's eyes: "What I told you just now is not a joke, as long as you can help the army break the city, I will keep your family safe, and I can also give you a large sum of silver, let you settle in any place in my Daning, if you don't want to leave your homeland, you can stay in Pingguang City as an official and assist the Daning army to maintain order, of course, you can not agree." ”

Nie Ye smiled and said: "I will put back all the people who came in just now, I don't know what they will say to the King of Bohai, I think of an important minister like you, the King of Bohai must believe you or not, so your whole family should not be fine, and a high-ranking person like you should not be afraid of gambling, right?" ”

Han Yuanyan looked at Nie Ye in fear, and what he saw in his eyes was not a young man with clear eyebrows, but a demon.

"Give you an hour to think for yourself."

Nie Ye got up and looked at Chen Ran: "Let's go out for a walk?" ”

Chen Ran threw himself to the ground at the five-body body that Nie Ye admired, and after he went out, he gave a thumbs up: "Amazing." ”

Nie Ye said with a smile: "There is a specialization in the art industry, and this is what we do...... It doesn't make sense for you to kill this Han Yuanyan, it only makes sense to put him back, if he can help the army open the city gate, we can kill many fewer brothers. ”
