Chapter 866: Capture and Interrogation (II)
The interrogation of prisoners is usually not so chilling, and in order to achieve the goal of getting prisoners to confess, the methods of interrogation are very intense and cruel.
From ancient times to the present, I don't know how many kinds of unbelievable torture tools have been invented, and the purpose of all torture tools is to greatly torture the body of the prisoner, so as to destroy the psychological defense line of the prisoner.
Li Su understands the reason, but Li Su is not a crazy pervert, and he is not interested in torturing the prisoner's body, if he can achieve his goal in a peaceful way, why not?
Of course, not having to punish does not mean that the prisoner should be confessed as an ancestor, and it is harmless to scare a few words appropriately.
Sure enough, when Li Su said that she had arranged for a hundred strong men to spoil her, the female assassin's face changed. It seems that Li Su's scare is very deterrent to her.
In this era, all women pay attention to honor, if she is ruined by a hundred men, she must be a dead end, and the way to die is too bad to practice people, and she cannot be reincarnated after death.
Seeing the change in the female assassin's eyes, Li Su couldn't help but smile slightly.
"I have many ways to make you speak, and making people spoil you is just one of them......" Li Su said, pointing to the outside of the barracks, and said: "Those who were captured with you are your subordinates or robes, or the same party, I know that you are all dead soldiers, and if you dare to do this, you don't plan to live, but death is death, the way of death is different, and the results obtained are not the same, you imagine, if I order those fellow party members to be chopped up one by one in front of you, or you are chopped up in front of your fellow party, Let you see with your own eyes that the flesh of the former Paoze brothers is pulled off piece by piece, how will it feel in your heart? β
The female assassin's body trembled again, and she finally began to look directly at Li Su, and the hatred in her eyes became more and more intense.
Li Su was unconscious, and smiled indifferently: "Don't look at me with this kind of look, your gaze can't kill me, on the contrary, your hateful eyes will arouse my anger, and then take your comrades out of anger, and pay a heavy price for a slap in the face, do you think it's worth it?" When you are reduced to a prisoner, I advise you to know how to forbear, and silently remember my appearance in your heart, but you must have a smile on your face, keep your useful body, and leave it for revenge in the future, this is the right thing to do. β
The female assassin immediately lowered her head, Li Su couldn't see her eyes, but it was certain that the hateful gaze was still there, but she didn't dare to look directly at him anymore.
Li Su said with a pleasant face: "Okay, the stakes are clear to you, let's continue with the first question just now,ββ tell me your name." β
The female assassin remained silent, her white teeth clenching her lower lip.
Li Su stared at her quietly for a long time, and nodded slowly: "It seems that you still don't want to say, I guess your psychology, probably you think that if you fall into our hands, you will die anyway, after all, you didn't plan to live, if you die, this matter can be regarded as death without proof, and there is no need to implicate the people who instructed you behind your back, well, to put it simply, you think you still have chips in your hands, right?" β
Li Su didn't expect her to answer, and said to herself: "I have to say, your ideas are very beautiful, and your actions are also very thorough, if you hadn't shown your feet before you started, I'm afraid that today's assassination will really be succeeded by you, as for the origin of you and your comrades, and who is behind it, it is your biggest bargaining chip now, so you have no fear, I feel that we can't do anything to you before you confess, well, then, let's continue to guess ......."
After a pause, Li Su continued: "From the time you were captured until now, you and your comrades really haven't said a word, so you think I will definitely have no way to know your origin, and you are very confident, thinking that as long as you don't open your mouth, we will never be able to dig down, but...... Have you ever thought that maybe not saying a word is actually the biggest hole you leave behind? β
The female assassin hung her head and gritted her teeth.
"Hundreds of thousands of royal divisions of the Tang Dynasty are about to start a war with Goguryeo, this is Jizhou, you can go directly to Pyongyang by water, and it is not far from Goguryeo by land. Before the war, someone dared to assassinate my Tang Emperor, so who else could be the commander behind the scenes, except for the powerful people of the Goguryeo royal family? So ......" Li Su hooked the corners of his mouth and chuckled: "So, I guess you are Koreans, right?" From the time you were captured until now, you have not said a word, and you are afraid that your identity will be revealed when you open your mouth, because you can only speak Goryeo and do not understand Chinese, but you may be an accident, judging from the changes in your expression just now, you should be able to understand Chinese......"
The female assassin was shocked, and couldn't help but look up at Li Su, the hatred in her eyes had turned into fear, as if she couldn't believe that Li Su could guess so accurately.
Not only the female assassin, but even the guards guarding the barracks, Fang Laowu, Zheng Xiaolou and others also looked at him with a look of shock, obviously everyone did not expect that without the assassin saying a word, Li Su would be able to guess the origin and instructions behind these people.
Looking at the female assassin's expression, Li Su couldn't help but become more and more determined, and said with a smile: "Don't look at me like this, you just need to remember that the Tang Dynasty people are always smarter than you think, even if you bite to death and don't open your mouth, I can peel off your coat layer by layer, whether you say it or not, your secrets will be hidden in front of me." β
The female assassin trembled even more, and her dirt-covered face was invisible, but it was conceivably pale.
Li Su smiled: "Your origin is probably guessed correctly, then, let's continue to guess, who in the Goguryeo Kingdom were instructed, huh...... In the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, the Goryeo National Congress killed the lord of the country by Lu Quangai Suwen and left the king Gao Jianwu and proclaimed himself ' Da Mo Lizhi', the nephew of the king of Gaozang as the king of Goryeo, although Gaozang is the lord of the country, but it is just a puppet, now the military and political power of Goguryeo is in the hands of Quangai Suwen, since Quangai Suwen below, there are three people with the most power in the Goguryeo country, respectively, Gao Yanshou in the north, Gao Huizhen in the south, and the self-respecting of the army is not convinced by Quangai Suwen, but Quangai Suwen took him helpless Yang Wanchun, the lord of Anshi, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty are on the border, and the most nervous people are none other than these three people, because they are afraid that the power will be lost after the country is broken, and this girl is the commander behind you, I am afraid that it is one of these three peopleβ¦β¦β
Li Su looked at the female assassin's reaction coldly, and his voice unconsciously became cold: "Then, let's continue to guess, Quangai Suwen, Gao Yanshou, Gao Huizhen, these three people are the actual controllers of the military and political power of Goguryeo, what they must do now is to transfer troops and consider how to rely on the terrain and the city to resist the attack of the Tang Dynasty's royal division, they have no time to take care of this small means of assassination in secret, as for Yang Wanchun, the city lord of Anshi...... Anshi City is located between Liaodong and the border of Goryeo, it is the first fortress of Goguryeo to resist and defend the fortified city, and it is also the city of Beacon where the Tang Dynasty royal division marched into Goguryeo. It should not be surprising to come up with such a trivial method of assassinating the emperor, so ...... Girl, you were sent by Yang Wanchun, right? β
As if struck by a thunderbolt, the female assassin's body trembled violently, a pair of delicate fists clenched fiercely, and the knuckles of her fingers turned white.
Li Su looked at her and sighed lightly: "Girl, your hole cards have been lifted out by me, and at this moment, you have lost all your chips, what qualifications do you have to remain silent?" β
In the barracks, not only the female assassins, but everyone looked at Li Su in shock.
The prisoner didn't say a word, Li Su actually guessed the origin of the assassins in this way, and guessed it extremely accurately, and instructed the people behind the scenes to implement the specific characters, such reasoning ability, there are few comparisons in the world today, no wonder he was a high-ranking official at a young age, a person in his twenties who could be knighted as a county duke, his success will not be accidental after all.
Li Su peeled off the origins of the assassins in one go, and after finishing speaking, Li Su still looked at the female assassin with a smile and did not speak, her eyes were full of banter and confidence.
I don't know how long it took, the female assassin finally spoke, her voice was delicate, revealing a bit of despair and exhaustion, and as expected, she actually spoke Chinese, but it was a little stiff and awkward, and the pronunciation was not standard.
"You ...... The Tang people are all demons! The female assassin gritted her teeth.
The people in the barracks couldn't help but glance at Li Su in shock again when they heard this.
In a simple sentence, it can be heard that this female assassin is not from the Tang Dynasty, Li Su's guess is correct, she is indeed an assassin sent by Goguryeo.
Li Su smiled and looked at her in a gentle tone: "The two countries are fighting, the winner is king, only the loser will curse and scold angrily, this girl hopes that you will be sensible, no matter how hard you scold, it will not help, let's be happy, be friendly, and have a good chat?" Okay, now, answer my first question and tell me your name. β
The female assassin gritted her teeth and stopped talking.
Li Su sighed and said, "It seems that you haven't seen the situation clearly, you have to know that you are no longer of value to us now, understand?" You are just a group of reckless men, your origin and behind-the-scenes instructions are your greatest value, but now, I have guessed all these questions, you have lost all your value, whether you kill or not, only between the thoughts of His Majesty the Emperor, so at this time, you had better cooperate obediently, so as not to suffer from unnecessary flesh and skin, and lest His Majesty the Emperor be angry, after breaking through the city of Anshi, he will start killing and slaughtering the innocents of the whole city, and you will honestly cooperate to answer my questions, maybe you can save many people's lives. β
The female assassin hung her head, tears streaming down her face.
The assassination of the emperor was defeated, and all the hole cards were ruthlessly opened by the Tang State official in front of him, and now he is threatening the lives of innocent people in Anshi City, and the interrogation is at this point, and the psychological defense of the female assassin has collapsed.
Li Su's patience was almost exhausted at this time, and he turned his head impatiently to look at the sky outside the barracks, and said in a cold tone: "Okay, I'll ask you one last time now, if you still don't answer, then I'm sorry, I will go to His Majesty's handsome tent immediately, and suggest that after he conquers Anshi City, he will first behead the city lord Yang Wanchun and the whole family, women and children, and then slaughter the city with a large army, leaving no chickens and dogs, so that Anshi City will completely become a ghost city, and there will be no people within a radius of 100 miles!" β
As he spoke, Li Su suddenly shouted, "Now, tell me your name!" β
The female assassin gritted her teeth, her lower lip already bleeding out, and seemed to be holding on to her broken defenses.
Just as Li Su stood up in disappointment and was about to leave the barracks, the female assassin finally spoke.
"Gao Suhui, my name is Gao Suhui......"
With that, the female assassin collapsed to the ground as if she had lost all her strength, and then fell to the ground and began to cry.
Seeing Gao Suhui crying bitterly, Li Su instantly softened, after all, Li Su had never bullied a woman like this in his two lives, but when he thought of the two countries fighting each other, there could not be any woman's kindness, Li Su had to harden his heart: "Your surname is Gao?" Could it be that Gao Yanshou or Gao Huizhen sent it? Nothing to do with the city lord of Anshi? β
Gao Suhui shook her head and cried: "No, I'm from ...... Anshi Castle. β
"What is your relationship with Yang Wanchun, the city lord of Anshi?"
Gao Suhui said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter...... I was adopted by him since I was a child, and he asked my master to teach me the art of killing, and I used it for him after I became a child. β
Li Su frowned: "Those assassins of your party are all dead soldiers raised by him?" β
ββ¦β¦ Be. β
"How did you find out about His Majesty the Emperor's whereabouts? Today, he just decided to travel temporarily, and his whereabouts are only known to the guards around him, whether Yang Wanchun has buried an internal spy by His Majesty the Emperor? β
Gao Suhui was silent for a moment and said, "...... There are no spies, since we learned that the 300,000 Tang Army went eastward, we were assigned by the city lord to leave Anshi City, disguised as Liaodong refugees, mixed in the thousands of refugees all the way west to Jizhou, all day long outside the city to inquire and wait, today I saw a group of people out of the Tang Army camp, the leader of the dragon and tiger, the appearance is extraordinary, there are many guards around us, we guess it must be a noble person in the Tang army, it is likely to be the commander Li Ji, or ...... The emperor of the Tang State decided to assassinate him. β
"In addition to the ones captured today, how many of you are among the refugees outside the city?"
ββ¦β¦ I don't know, we were sent out in batches, and we had no connection with each other. β
Li Su was thoughtful.
The whole thing is strung together, and the truth is gradually revealed.
It's not complicated to say, it's just a very simple assassination, seeing Li Shimin show off his martial arts and leave the camp, there are almost a few big words written on his face, "I am the emperor, come and kill me", such a conspicuous target, people are embarrassed not to do it. As a result, the skills of these people to kill people were too trendy, and Li Su saw the flaws before they could do it, and they finally fell short and were captured.
But is it really that simple?
Li Su looked deeply at the woman named Gao Suhui in front of her, recalling how those assassins today attached so much importance to her and did not hesitate to fight for her to protect her, if she was really just a female assassin adopted by Yang Wanchun, there was no need for them to do so.
So Li Su suspected that this woman was hiding some truths, especially her identity.
However, Li Su did not continue to ask, he knew that even if he asked, he would not say, not to mention, Li Su felt that the true identity of this female assassin might be able to be used, so it was more in the interests of Li Su and the Eastern Crusade not to pursue her true identity.
Standing up, Li Su turned his head to look at her, and said with a smile: "We have a saying in Datang, 'Cast the peach and plum, repay the Qiong Yao', since you are so cooperative, I will not be slow to humiliate you, Miss Gao and live in the barracks temporarily, although there is no freedom, but I promise not to starve you, freeze you, and your comrades are the same, rest assured, since you have confessed, I will count you as surrendering, and the Tang Dynasty will not kill and surrender, and it will be unlucky to kill and surrender." β
Saying that, Li Su was about to go out, but Gao Suhui suddenly stopped him.
With his eyes firmly fixed on Li Su's face, Gao Suhui said in a low voice: "Dare to ask my lord, our conspired assassination is flawless, why can you predict it in advance?" Where exactly are we exposed? β
Li Su was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Actually, you played it perfectly, really, I have to admire you, you played the appearance of the refugees perfectly, and your gestures are no different from real refugees, originally I didn't doubt you, but when I saw you avoid saluting the officials patrolling the streets, I was sure that you were not from the Tang Dynasty......"
Gao Suhui's expression became more and more confused: "Aren't the people all going to avoid saluting when they see officials?" β
Li Su smiled: "So, your acting skills are good, but your observation is not enough, you think that if you make a deferential appearance, you will not arouse the suspicion of the officials, but you must know that as long as the real people of the Tang Dynasty are in the land of the Tang Dynasty, no matter where they are, they do not need to take the initiative to salute, especially they do not need to bow down when they salute, and the waist of the people of the Tang Dynasty is not as soft as you think." β
Gao Suhui said blankly: "So, we made you suspicious because of the official evasion salute?" β
"Not exactly, there is another reason, you behave too much, too normal, too calm, in this war-clouded Jizhou City, there is a group of refugees with calm expressions, but it is not so normal, I suspect that you are just a trace of feeling in your heart, inexplicable, no reason, just think you are suspicious, are you satisfied with this answer?"
Gao Suhui's expression gradually declined, and the whole person sat on the ground weakly, her muddy face twitched a few times, and muttered: "It turns out that it was really exposed, it was really exposed......"
Seeing her chattering appearance, Li Su didn't bother to comfort her, shook his head, turned around and walked out of the barracks.
Fang Lao Wu and Zheng Xiaolou followed behind him, and after walking out of the barracks, Fang Lao Wu cast an admiring look at Li Su, and praised: "In the past, others said that the grandfather was very capable, and the villain had never seen it with his own eyes, but today he really saw it, the grandfather really has a good name, and the villain admires it so much!" β
After interrogating Gao Suhui, Li Su has been precipitating his thoughts, listening to Fang Lao Wu's praise, Li Su couldn't help but feel good, temporarily put his heart behind him, and laughed: "Even you say so, it seems that I am really very capable......
Turning his head to look at Zheng Xiaolou, Li Su looked at him expectantly: "What about you?" You're not going to praise me? β
Zheng Xiaolou didn't raise his eyebrows, and faintly issued a monosyllable from his nostrils: "Hmm......"
"What does 'um' mean?"
"Well, you mean, you're good."
