The sound of the whip echoed in the depths, the damp ground mixed with straw, the rustle of footsteps, and the dim light of the fire reflected the figures of men entering the dungeon.

The waving black shadow swept across the sky and landed on the body, each crackling sound carrying a patch of flesh as the jailer tortured the three men on the wooden frame in the cell, one of whom had bled to death in the early hours of the morning. The other two cried and begged for mercy during the torture and interrogation, fainted twice in the middle, and after being woken up by the cold water, they no longer had much strength to beg for mercy, just shook their heads vigorously.

The sound of chains, the door of the cell opened, Gongsun Zhi in a fox fur came in with Li Ru and a few guards, someone waved his hand to let the jailer stop the whip, and the two interrogators in the prison hurriedly bowed, and then retreated to the side: "Qi Yu Taishou, these two people's mouths are really a little hard, and they haven't said a word to this extent." ”

"You go down first." Li Ru glanced at the two people who were tortured, waved his hand to let the jailer go out and wait first, and the guards closed the door with their hands and stood on both sides with knives.

Gongsun Zhi slowly stepped forward, glanced at the dead captives on the wooden frame on the right, and when he looked at the other two, the man in the middle was thin, with dark yellow skin, a long beard mixed with a little white, and his age looked like he was in his forties...... We really are...... Ordinary businessmen...... Leave us alone......"

Gongsun Zhi stood still in front of him with his hands behind his back, looked at it for a moment, and slowly spoke: "Ordinary businessmen? What about your cargo? In two months, it must have been sold...... Who did you sell it to, is Gongsun Zhi's mansion right? I welcome to come to Ueya-gun to do business, but I'm not happy to do blood trading......"

Walking two steps, he tilted his head: "I don't understand, what kind of deep grudge made you come to kill my family, and want to make my heart twist like a knife...... I have a bad memory, you come and tell me, who I killed, who will avenge me for whom, this question is not clear? ”

These three people were arrested by Pan Feng last night, originally four, one died halfway, and now another one has died, now there are only two people left, and the tortured executioner does not dare to be ruthless again, at this time he still has the strength to speak, the man raised his face, trying to open his eyes wide, the corners of his mouth are still dripping with blood, and his voice is hoarse and smiled: "Original ...... It turned out to be ...... Taishou face to face...... It seems that we can't survive......"

"If the answer satisfies me, I don't mind giving you a way to live."

The man was stunned, shook his head with his bloody mouth open, a difficult smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his teeth were still bloodshot: "...... Say, we're going to die, you...... They are all nobles...... Life is very precious, but the life of my family is also precious in my eyes......"

On the wooden shelf on the left, his companion began to cry.

Gongsun Zhi glanced at the people next to him and beckoned: "Cut off their fingers one by one, remember to cut, not cut...... After the fingers are cut, cut the toes, use good hemostatic medicine, don't let people die. ”

Someone moved over the stool, turned around and shook the hem of his robe, and sat down with a golden knife: "I'll see how long they can last here." ”

The tortured jailer took a short knife from the wall, scooped water from the bucket and poured it, and the guard's guard assisted him in taking down the weeping man on the left, dragging it to the wooden table, and pressing it with his palm, and the jailer pulled the blade, and the moment he pressed it down, the man suddenly shouted: "Recruit...... I recruited ...... Anyway, there is a half-dead old lady at home, Gongsun Taishou, the little one is all recruited, you let me live. ”

On the wooden frame, the previous person scolded: "...... You are a king! ”

"Finally there are smart people."

Gongsun Zhi waved his hand to let the guards and jailers go away, this person was in his twenties, with a beard on his lips, and crawled over, after being blocked by the guards, he kowtowed and shouted: "The small one is from Hedong, and he has been staying in Hedong to do business before, and he is also a tooth man, and then this person found the small one, saying that he went to Shanggu County to do a big business, and he will give a very big ...... after the matter is completed."

"To the point, who is behind those women and you?"

"The little one is not very clear....... After saying this, the man thought for a moment, paused, and then said, "...... The women seemed to have come out of the Chang'an Palace, and I undoubtedly heard them speak on the way......"

In the chattering words, the figure on the stool got up expressionlessly, strode away towards the door, Li Ru walked out of the prison door and gestured to the jailer: "Both of them are killed." ”

The two jailers nodded, and when they were gone, they walked into the cell with their weapons in their hands, and struggled and screamed a few times, in a "Ah! After the scream, he calmed down.

Outside, the walking figure walked out of the prison, and the scribe behind him followed with a frown, and when the two of them were walking on the street for a while, Li Rufang asked: "My lord, who is this person who has already thought of it?" ”

"Hedong Weijia ......" stopped, Gongsun Zhi looked at the gloomy sky with his hands behind his back, turned his head to look at the middle-aged scribe and smiled: "When I was in Yanzhou, I killed a man named Wei Zhongdao...... It's the second child in their family. But...... Chang'an Palace...... I can't remember who I've offended. ”

Li Ru twisted his beard and frowned as he pondered: "The Wei family in Hedong must have someone in the palace as an official, otherwise how can one east and one in the west be united, the Wei family wants to take the life of the lord's family, and in the past, then the palace ...... Confucianism remembered that Guo Yan and Li Dao were all Xiliang soldiers in their hands, and there had never been a woman...... Wait a minute. ”

He raised his gaze to look at Gongsun Zhi, who frowned: "Do you know this person?" ”

“…… Ren Hongchang, she is Wang Yun's daughter. Li Ru nodded, and wrote the stroke of his name on the palm of his hand: "When the father-in-law was not dead, Zeng accepted this woman into the room, and asked Lu Bu to help this woman train a group of female pawns. ”

Isn't that what it is...... Diao?

"Then Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu turned against each other because of this woman." Gongsun Zhi took over the words.

Over there, the scribe shook his head and sighed: "The opposite is the opposite, but it is not Wang Yun's beauty plan." On the contrary, this woman made Yuezhang and Lu Fengxian have a lot of dissatisfaction...... Never mind...... Don't talk about it. ”

...... It's different from the book. Gongsun Zhi didn't understand how he provoked Diao Chan or Ren Hongchang, and Li Ru next to him frowned and continued to whisper: "Since the maids who assassinated the lord were all from the palace, it means that this woman is hiding in the deep palace, she is really smart...... In this way, she retaliates against the lord, and the lord has no way to take her. If the lord wants to put out this fire back, Confucianism has two strategies, so that this woman's life is worse than death. ”

"What's the solution?"

The thick clouds in the sky finally floated down a snowflake and fell to the world, the cold wind blew through the street, and the thin scribe standing there stretched out his hand to wipe a piece of flying snow from his sleeve: "First, Guo Yan and Li Dao are both lustful, if they know that there are such stunning beauties in the deep palace, how can they let it go?" However, this is the next policy, Ren Hongchang is a little smart, but it may allow her to take root around Guo and Li. Second, if Ruru still has acquaintances in the Xiliang army, send a letter and ask the other party to mix our assassins into the palace and bring His Majesty to ...... Killed. ”

"The world was really in chaos that day...... Gongsun Zhi patted him on the shoulder, walking side by side, the surrounding soldiers opened the way, dispersed the pedestrians, his eyes swept over the people who were driven to stand under the street, and his voice became indifferent: "...... But that's fine. After a moment of silence, he turned over and got on his horse: "Let's do it." ”

"Slow down!"

Li Ru took two steps and arched his hand: "There is one more thing at this moment, that is, Confucianism wants to take this assassination opportunity to blame some local big clans for the crime, and do something to kill chickens and monkeys." ”

"Let it go, others don't dare to use you Li Wenyou." Gongsun Zhi took the reins: "I dare-"

Li Ru stood in place and looked at the figure in the distance, stretched out his hand to take a piece of snowflake and landed in his palm, and the snow became heavier and heavier.
