Zhou Shichen said: "We are businessmen from Jiangsu, not any thieves you want to catch, we will keep to ourselves and do business, you still let us go!" ”

"Let you go? You don't know about me? I can see in your bones that you are not good birds! The guard's eyes turned around, "Tell me, who are you in charge of?" Where did you come from? ”

Zhou Shichen insisted: "We are businessmen from Jiangsu, and we don't have anything to do. ”

When the garrison came up, he slapped Zhou Shichen: "It seems that if I don't torture you, you won't tell the truth!" Come on, separate them for interrogation! ”

A few people came in from outside and pulled Li Hu and the other five out separately, and only Zhou Shichen was left in the house.

The garrison picked up the horsewhip and whipped it Zhou Shichen: "I see that you are the head of several of them, and none of them dare to squeak with you, and now that I have separated them one by one, I don't believe that you are all beaten with iron." You stay here honestly for me, and when they finish asking, they will come back to you to settle accounts! ”

The guard spat on the ground, leaving five guards, and turned to go out.

Although Zhou Shichen was tied hand and foot, he still had a chair for him to sit on, and this chair was right in front of his buttocks, and he sat down unceremoniously.

He couldn't figure out what link he had a problem with, he had only been in the city for a day, and he was arrested by others, how could the task given by King Qin be completed?

He was confident that his two brothers would not betray him, but he didn't know what happened to Li Hu and them, he didn't have any bottom in his heart, he could only silently wait for the result of the person going out to interrogate.

"Brother, can you give saliva to drink?" Zhou Shichen asked one of the youngest guards, "It's too hot, and my mouth is dry." ”

This little brother looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, not tall and thin, he didn't dare to make his own decisions, and turned his eyes to look at Wu Chang.

Wu Changnu said, "You go and pour him a glass of water." ”

The little brother went out for a cup of tea, and then brought a cup of cold water and handed it to Zhou Shichen. Zhou Shichen lowered his head and asked the little brother to feed him.

Wu Chang said: "Tiewa, you are lazy again!" It takes a long time to go out and pour a glass of water. ”

This little brother named Tiewa turned his head to look at Wu Chang and said, "No, no, I went out and a splash of urine by the way." ”

"Lazy people have a lot of and pee!" Wu Chang said dissatisfied.

One of them laughed and said, "Tiewa, you brought your urine, right?" ”

This iron baby was so aggrieved that tears fell, and just at this time the garrison came back, and the iron baby quickly hid to the side to wipe her tears.

The guard looked at Zhou Shichen with a smile and didn't speak, Zhou Shichen's heart suddenly became nervous, could it be that he really asked something from those five brothers?

After laughing enough, the guard suddenly shouted: "Stand up!" ”

Since Zhou Shichen stood up very cooperatively, it was because of his overly nervous reaction in his heart.

The guard said: "They are all suffering from flesh and skin, you are better, sit on the chair and enjoy the blessings." Believe it or not, I'll strip you naked now and pull you outside to dry you for a day. ”

Zhou Shichen didn't say a word, his eyes tilted to the side.

The guard said triumphantly: "It doesn't matter if you don't say it, someone has already said it, but I want to hear what you have to say?" ”

"I'm just a businessman."

"Sophistry!" The garrison scolded, "Grandma, a businessman, you can give thirty taels of silver when you make a move, you are generous, but it invisibly exposes your details." ”

It turned out that the problem was here, Zhou Shichen was blaming himself in his heart.

"Who's in charge of your plate?" The garrison didn't give Zhou Shichen time to think, and asked.

Zhou Shichen straightened his chest and said: "We are the people of King Qin!" What's wrong? If you want to kill, you don't need to ask. ”

The garrison smiled, smiling ambiguously: "That's easy." Loose! ”

Wu Chang waved his hand, and several people stepped forward to loosen the tie for Zhou Shichen.

"Please be seated!" The garrison was very polite, "I don't want you to say that I guessed that you were sent by the King of Qin, and I arrested you here, just to confirm that you are the people of the King of Qin." ”

This 180-degree turn made Zhou Shichen unable to adapt to it, and he asked vigilantly: "What do you want to do?" ”

The guard said: "Don't be nervous, I'll report to my house first." My name is Hu Ying, and I am a subordinate of Yang Qi, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and I am also a friend of your King Qin. ”

Of course, Zhou Shichen knew Yang Qi and Hu Ying, but he hadn't seen them, so there was this misunderstanding.

Zhou Shichen arched his hand and said: "The tiger is guarded, the king of Qin often talks about you, disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

Hu Ying waved out and said, "Come in!" ”

Li Hu and the other five people came in alive, and they were not injured at all.

Hu Ying told Zhou Shichen that the five of them were all good and didn't say a word.

Zhou Shichen's gaze suddenly turned to Tiewa: "Tiewa, have you peed?" ”

The aggrieved Tiewa really cried this time.

Hu Ying hurriedly explained: "Tiewa really didn't pee in your cup, I asked him to deliberately delay time, the purpose is to create an invisible mental pressure on you, Hu Ying is not compensating you again." ”

Everyone laughed, and Tiewa cried even more sadly.

……

Lutou shop high mountain camp.

In the military tent, Gao Junshan was receiving Yang Qi's envoy Huying.

Hu Ying told Gao Junshan about the current situation: "The imperial court has gone all out to suppress the Kou, and Yang Sichang put forward the proposition of 'only the inside can be outside', and implemented the strategy of 'four positive and six corners, ten sides of the net'. In less than a year, you will be destroyed by the court. ”

Gao Junshan disagreed: "What General Tiger said is a bit alarmist, right?" ”

Hu Ying said: "Yang Dashuai remembered that you have the grace to save your life, respect your talents, and sent a special envoy to persuade the King of Qin, hoping that the King of Qin can accept the court's recruitment and stop being an enemy of the court." ”

Gao Junshan said: "I am very grateful to Yang Dashuai for his care for me, as for Zhao'an, ......"

Hu Ying hurriedly said: "King Qin, don't hesitate any longer, now is a good time, the new military department Shangshu Xiong Wencan, strongly advocates to suppress with Fu." As long as you accept Zhao'an, Yang Dashuai can intercede for you in front of Xiong Sima and promote you to the deputy chief soldier of Shanhaiguan. ”

Gao Junshan said with a smile: "In this way, I will be a legitimate official of the imperial court!" ”

"Exactly." Hu Ying added another handful of dry firewood, "You can also keep your current soldiers and horses." ”

This article made Gao Junshan moved, and guaranteed that his team would rebel whenever he wanted, and the rebels at the end of the Ming Dynasty fell and rebelled, and those who rebelled and surrendered abounded.

It was during this time that Zhang Xianzhong in history descended Xiong Wencan in Gucheng. Gao Junshan thought to himself, if Zhang Xianzhong surrendered to the imperial court, we would inevitably have to find a way out, so he did not refuse Hu Ying's conditions, but he couldn't reply to Hu Ying immediately, so he decided to delay it first and see how the situation developed and trended before making plans.
