Chapter 247: Torture Without Results
Chapter 247: Torture Without Results
Now everyone in Dengzhou Mansion knows that Jiang Feng, a guerrilla in Shandong, killed seven assassins alone in front of the government yamen, and the remaining five people were caught and cut off their heads. Everyone praised Lord Jiang's bravery, and when they watched Jiang Feng ride away, he looked quite energetic.
It doesn't seem to be injured at all, Wang Zhifu ran back from the county seat below the next night, and went to Jiangfeng Mansion overnight to ask for guilt, in the Ming Dynasty, the status of civil officials was so low that Wang Zhifu was so low, not to mention unprecedented, it can also be said to be the last. In other places, a prefect can be fearless in the face of the commander of Shandong, and from time to time he can 'speak out' or "neither humble nor arrogant" a few times.
If he makes this kind of hard performance, there will be good comments from him outside, such as that so-and-so is not afraid of power and obscenity, and has the backbone of a scholar.
As for the military attache who is stationed in the local area like Jiang Feng, because of the provisions, Dingkou has to rely on the local officials to prepare for it, and he can't be tough, although the prefect is a fourth-grade or fifth-grade official. But when dealing with Sanpin, the military attache from Sanpin, they are all condescending and arrogant.
However, for the Wang Governor's Mansion who was locked outside the gate of Jiangfeng Mansion and almost knelt in front of the door in fear, don't mention everything above, Wang Governor's Mansion is just worried and scared now, obviously it is normal for Xia Xia County to persuade Nongsang and inspect water conservancy, how did he catch up with this kind of thing.
I can't tell if I really have 10,000 mouths on my body! waited outside the door for half the night, and finally it was Zhao Xiucai, the housekeeper of Jiang Mansion, who came out and followed Wang Zhifu expressionlessly:
"My family is tired tonight, so please go back to the Governor's Mansion!"
Even at the back of the prefect, he didn't even call a lord and an adult, so he just sent it away so bluntly.
Although the people outside are judging Jiang Feng's state by the way Jiang Feng got on his horse and left after killing the assassins, and the performance of the assassins in Dengzhou Mansion City in the past few days.
Everyone's conclusion is naturally that Jiang Feng is safe and sound, but after Jiang Feng came to the Ming Dynasty, because of his martial arts and alertness and the guards around him, he really did not suffer any serious injuries, speaking of which, it was a dull stick that began in the back of his head, and the knife wound cut on the calf was not too deep a wound, but in such an environment at that time, there was no chance of healing at all, and the next action was particularly large, the wound burst out, and the blood flowed out more, so it was a little weak.
After coming back, he was very good Langzhong, sprinkled with wound medicine, bandaged it, and it didn't matter much, this Langzhong has real talent and learning, and he has always relied on Jiang Feng's Dengzhou camp to eat, so he is naturally busy with all his heart.
After seeing Jiang Feng's wounds, he was settled in the mansion and kept with good food and drink. Then sent someone to the barracks at the foot of Yantai Mountain, anyway, the bruises and injuries trained in the barracks are always indispensable, and it is also appropriate to invite a Langzhong.
Information asymmetry, this is a term hundreds of years after the Jiajing period, and now when it comes to the mastermind behind the assassin and Jiang Feng, this is what it looks like.
Under the conditions of transportation and information exchange in the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to appear in modern spy movies, the kind of one hit misses, the killer and the assassin calmly escape through various ways, and the principal immediately arranges the next action and plan, which seems ordinary now, is simply impossible at that time.
Therefore, Liu Twelve's judgment is very simple, the people who instructed these assassins, or at least those who have a relationship with these assassins, are still in the city, because Jiang Feng was assassinated, that is, the time of a stick of incense, the guards of Dengzhou Mansion immediately closed the gate of Dengzhou, and it is impossible for anyone to run out, and now the question is whether the search and torture of the assassins in the entire city can have any effect.
Now the only news I learned from the outside is that Jiang Feng is safe and sound, the assassins who were caught were all beheaded by the angry Jiang Feng's men, and the corpses were piled up and burned in front of everyone, and it seems that it is impossible for anyone to find out who the master is.
Jiang Feng recuperated for two days, and his mental and physical state had almost recovered, and he immediately went to the prison in the city to interrogate the assassin.
There were six people who were caught, all stripped of their clothes and bundled and thrown in solitary cells, and now these people have no chance of committing suicide.
The guards of the Dengzhou battalion did not ask the assassins any questions, and since Jiang Feng had given the order, they were waiting for Jiang Feng to come and interrogate him.
After Jiang Feng came to the cell, his subordinates had already prepared all the red-hot irons, clamps, tiger chairs and other things, and they were ready to be tortured. Jiang Feng didn't look at these torture instruments at all, and directly chose the open space in front of the prison door.
Cleaned up the irrelevant people and others, and dragged the assassins out, every day in the past two days, there were people from the Dengzhou camp who took lard bibimbap and forced it, but they were also a little fat, Jiang Feng looked down and saw that the faces of these assassins were no longer the blood-devouring and murderous excited expressions of the day, and their expressions faintly revealed some fear.
It seems that these people are not dead soldiers who regard death as home, Jiang Feng reached out and took out the big knife on the waist of the guard next to him, took a step forward, raised the knife in his hand, and simply chopped a bound assassin into two, everyone not only assassins but even Jiang Feng's own subordinates thought that no matter what, they had to ask a few words first, no one thought that before they could say anything, they took the knife and hacked one to death.
Several people knelt there naked, feeling the slightest coolness in the air, and the companions around them did not react to being cut open by a knife, blood gushed out, and immediately sprinkled on them, the warm and viscous liquid they felt very obviously, and everyone's breathing was rapid.
"Who told you to come!?"
Jiang Feng stood in front of them, carrying a knife and shouting, several people were already a little frightened, and after a loud shout, several assassins could be regarded as reacting, and one of them said tremblingly:
"We are all in the Nanzhili area, a few days ago, someone gave our leader 5,000 taels of silver, and asked us to assassinate a person, saying that there were 20,000 taels after the deed, and after coming to Dengzhou, we lived in the inn......
It turned out that after these assassins came to Dengzhou, they found an inn to live in, and then came to the scene every day to check the situation, or stayed in the inn.
These people are all thieves from the vicinity of Nanjing, and they have always been outlaws, doing this kind of murderous business, this time the other party paid a deposit of five thousand taels, and the reward after success is so rich, although they feel risky, but they still came to Dengzhou to act.
However, when asked who the people who hired them were, they did not know anything, because the money was given and collected by their chiefs, and these people were only responsible for the work.
The only thing that can be regarded as having some value is that they knew in advance that Jiang Feng would take the road in front of the prefect's yamen in the morning, and they knew that no one would come out of the prefect's yamen, but the person who delivered the news was also contacted by their leader, and they did not know about it.
As for the leader, he was the first person to be shot to death by Jiang Feng with a short fire gun, so naturally he wouldn't be asked anything now.
Although Jiang Feng didn't have any hope for this torture, but there were too few things to ask, there was no valuable information at all, Jiang Feng exhaled, knowing in his heart how angry he was, and he wouldn't have any information falling from the sky, and now he could only hope that there would be some news back from those who were staring at the Wang Governor's Mansion. He handed the knife in his hand to his subordinates, and said coldly:
"After killing, set fire to this yard!"
Ignoring the wails and desperate scolding of the few assassins behind him, the guards under his command walked out, Jiang Feng's subordinates all paused before starting to move, those assassins just scolded and begged for mercy, but none of them said anything else to save their lives.
It seems that these people are indeed the kind of situation he said, Jiang Feng has never believed that someone can hold on to the secret when their lives are at stake, and some fearless people can in a few hundred years, these people can't.
The courtyard had already begun to carry firewood and grass, and Jiang Feng, who was standing at the front door, shook his head and strode out.
Since the Aoshan Salt Farm reported that it was attacked by the Japanese invaders, although it has been verified that it was a fraud, the necessary articles still have to be done, so the officers and soldiers of the Aoshan Guard Station are pretending to be on duty every day and acting on guard.
After a period of time, the Aoshan salt field and the guard were a little slack, but it was very sudden, and the Luoyi Shijiu camp and Yang Shishi's Wendeng camp surrounded Aoshan. Speaking of which, there are more than 5,000 soldiers in the Aoshan Guard, but how can these farmers fight against the tigers and wolves under Jiang Feng.
Looking at the other party's momentum, he didn't dare to fight at all, he just honestly dodged aside, although the news of Jiang Feng's assassination was already well known in Dengzhou, but the blockade was timely, and other places didn't understand it so quickly, Luo Yi and Yang Shi received the letterhead sent by Kuaima, and the tone was very heavy.
The two of them never had any doubts about Jiang Feng's order, and when they received this letterhead, they immediately set up camp and came to Aoshan. The grade of the salt class in the Aoshan Salt Farm is much worse than that of Luo Yi and the others, and there is no room for communication at all. The wolf-like officers and soldiers rushed directly into the salt pan.
As for why the soldiers stationed in Yanzhou and Dengzhou came to Laizhou to investigate, the reason is very simple, the Aoshan Salt Farm shielded the outlaws to traffic in illicit salt, and the soldiers and horses of the two places chased the murderers all the way, and finally caught the turtle in the urn.
In fact, the crime of harboring outlaws and trafficking illicit salt is the most appropriate for Jiang Feng.
