Chapter 317: Talents who extort confessions by torture
If Brandon and Rickon were really alive, the lords and nobles of the North would definitely give priority to their allegiance, and at that time, Li Nan, who had made a marriage contract with Arya, lost the opportunity to become the Lord of the North.
It stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with what Elijah has, and it is the best way to send someone to kill Brandon and Rickon secretly, but Li Nan can't get over this hurdle.
As a person of later generations, Li Nan came to the Great Song Dynasty, and after obtaining this magical and cruel system, he had broken the moral bottom line of many later generations in order to survive, but let him send someone to kill two poor and innocent children, he really couldn't do this kind of thing.
Although he has not been with Li Nan for a long time, the three sisters, Elia, Oberna and Dona, also know him well.
After hearing Li Nan's reply, Obena said, "You don't need to do it, just leave this matter to us." ”
"No, you can't do it either!" Li Nan explained in a low voice: "There is no eternal secret in the world, no matter who killed them, if this matter is spread, they will think that I am a murderer, and then I will immediately become the enemy of everyone in the north, which will not do our plan any good." ”
Dona asked, "So what do you want to do?" ”
"Send men to look for them, and it is not too late to talk about these things when they are found."
Although the three sisters thought that Li Nan was too soft-hearted, now that he had made a decision, they also kept this matter in their hearts.
Li Nan came to Theon and asked, "After Brandon and Rickon fled, did you send someone to look for them?" ”
After Theon was identified by Li Nan, he seemed to be in better spirits, not like the walking dead at the beginning.
He replied honestly: "Rams sent someone to look for it, but they didn't find it." Jon. Snow was at Castle Black's night watch, so I guess they went there. ”
"Well, your guess should be correct."
After the accident in Winterfell, the two children, Brandon and Rickon, would definitely be looking for their loved ones, and Robb was far away in the Riverlands at the time, and Jon, who was stationed at Castle Black, was their first choice.
This matter is not in a hurry at the moment, and the most important thing for Li Nan to do at the moment is to eliminate Luz. Bolton, and all the troops under his command.
Theon, as Rams's squire, knew a lot of things, so Li Nan focused on asking questions about the forces of the Terrorist Fortress and Winterfell.
According to Theon, Luce. Bolton currently lives in King's Landing, where most of his forces are stationed, and the Bolton family's original territory, the Terror, does not have too many soldiers left.
In fact, with the strength that Li Nan now has at his disposal, even if he is with Luce. Bolton would have won in a frontal battle, but Li Nan's enemies weren't just the Bolton family.
When the news of Li Nan's seizure of the northern border spread, the Freys, Lannisters, and Tyrells in the south, as well as the Greyjoy family, who always wanted to make a profit in the north, probably would not give up, so he had to minimize casualties and accumulate strength to prepare for the conquest of the three major families.
After getting a lot of useful information, Li Nan thought about how to deal with Theon, and decided to imprison him for a while.
After dealing with Rams and Theon, there was still a sweet-looking girl on the ground, who was Miranda, the lover of the little skinner.
This girl's identity is very humble, she is the daughter of the Bolton family's dog breeder, and she grew up with Rams, and she is a childhood sweetheart.
Li Nan didn't like to kill women, especially such a little girl, so he asked casually, "Theon, has this Miranda ever killed someone?" ”
In fact, Li Nan's idea is very simple, if this girl has not done anything evil, then let her go directly, after all, he is not Rams, so he does not have his perverted hobby.
Theon's face showed a look of apprehension, and he pointed at Miranda and said, "She is Rams's accomplice, and although she has never killed people herself, she prefers to torture people." ”
This answer surprised Li Nan, he didn't expect that this sweet-looking and cute girl was actually a psychopathic guy, no wonder she could be with Rams, this is really a gathering of people and kinds.
Looking at Miranda with pity, Li Nan shook his head and said, "Since she is also guilty, let's pull it down and cut it." ”
Hearing that Li Nan directly sentenced himself to death, Miranda, who was kneeling on the ground, hurriedly crawled forward and begged bitterly: "Lord Leo, I don't want to die, please spare me!" Rams forced me to do those things, I'm just the daughter of a dog owner, I can't refuse! ”
Li Nan squatted down, looked into her eyes and said, "You can't fool me, Rams may be able to force you to kill, but you like to torture people, this must be your willingness." ”
was exposed by Li Nan on the spot, Miranda knew that her fate was not good, and hurriedly said: "My lord, I am willing to swear allegiance to you, and you also need someone like me." ”
"Huh." Li Nan sneered: "Give me a reason, why do I need someone like you?" ”
Miranda is a smart person, she saw that Li Nan was surrounded by beautiful women, and it was useless to rely on her body and appearance, and only she could survive if she was useful, so she whispered: "As long as you put the enemy in my hands, then I promise, they will no longer have any secrets." ”
Li Nan encountered a lot of perverts today, and their words and deeds were also very surprising.
If Miranda was going to seduce her, Li Nan would have ordered Obena to drag her out and execute her without saying a word, but now that she said this, Li Nan was a little hesitant.
Are people who are adept at using torture to extract confessions a useful person? The answer is yes, and this kind of psychopathic talent is scarce.
Among Li Nan's current subordinates, only Ashur and Hattori Hanzo have some such talents, but Ashur's methods are too rough, and the ninja is mainly good at sneak attacks, assassinations, stealing information, and so on.
"I want to know all the troop arrangements for Winterfell and Dreadful, and anything else related to the battle, can you dig that out of Rams's mouth?"
Li Nan really wanted to know this detailed information, and he also wanted to use it to test Miranda's loyalty to Rams.
Unexpectedly, in order to prove his worth and get a chance to live, Miranda, answered without hesitation: "Give me one night, I can let him say everything you want!" ”
"Okay, then you can go. I hope you know everything tomorrow morning, and I hope you survive. ”
Miranda finally gets a precious opportunity, and she is very capable, because it doesn't take long for Hattori Hanzo to return.
Li Nan, who was looking at the map on the table, glanced up at Hattori Hanzo and asked casually, "Why did you come back?" ”
Hattori Hanzo said a little helplessly: "The dungeon doesn't need me anymore, Miranda is much more skilled than me." ”
It seems that this Miranda is indeed very capable, and if she can get all the information she needs from Rams's mouth tomorrow, Li Nan decided to put her on his list and bring her back to Da Song.
As for Miranda not hesitating to deal with her lover Rams, Li Nan is not worried, because as long as she becomes her follower, there is a system to restrain them, and loyalty is not a problem.
