Chapter 44: Confessions

As unknown as Gai Tinglun, there were many more people, including a pair of men and women who had been tied up before, and the two glanced at each other, and they both saw the doubts in each other's eyes.

Not far from them, a bright-eyed girl was holding a baby, all focused on the baby, and beside her squatted a black leopard, staring at the two of them with a pair of large amber eyes.

Farther away, a group of fully equipped sergeants, armed with blades, bound up three times as many horse thieves as they were, and watched over them with great care, but did not know what their intentions were.

Gai Tinglun was sweating profusely, and he didn't know whether he ran out or was scared, he pulled Liu Ji aside and asked anxiously.

"Why is this so, if you offend someone from Beijing, you and I can't afford to be guilty."

Liu Ji said in a good time: "Then it depends on how to say it." ”

"Lao Gai, I said that you can't hear or see, you want to get involved, and now you come to ask me, do you think that if you let them all go and hand them over, these people will be able to spare us?"

Gai Tinglun can't wait to slap himself in the mouth, why is he so owed, he doesn't say anything, his legs and feet are still running so fast, and now it's yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants, it's not but is.

Only then did he see the true bodies of those horse thieves, and he could see at a glance that these people were not some kind of slaves, and they were a little similar to the alien races outside the gate.

It's a big deal.

"What Guo Yi wants, you might as well make it clear."

So far, he can only hope that this bold young man has some tricks, but the other party just smiled and looked unfathomable.

Liu Ji knows a ghost, and he is not a god.

"Follow me and see what these thieves are."

Liu Ji didn't say a word, and led Gai Tinglun to the bound horse thieves, these horse thieves were first tied with their hands, and then strung together with a long rope, even if they wanted to make any moves, they couldn't escape.

Because of the previous shock, no one dared to make a sound, all of them drooped their heads, and when they heard the sound of footsteps approaching, several people secretly looked up.

Liu Ji wrote down these people in his heart, walked up to the first person, and knocked him on the head with a horsewhip.

"Do you know how to speak Chinese?"

The man glanced at his outfit and nodded.

This person recognizes his identity, this is Liu Ji's first judgment, there is a rank in the army, and later generations are manifested in the military uniform and rank, and this era is the same, the officer's armor is different from that of ordinary sergeants, but this difference, not a familiar person, can't see it at all, this group of horse thieves is not simple, it should be from the army.

It is precisely for this reason that they will give up resistance when the leader is captured, because it is the sergeants of the Tang Dynasty who capture them, and they are their own kind.

Whether it is the forbidden army in the capital or the border army in each town, the number of aliens is very large, and it is impossible to see where it comes from this, Liu Ji asked the second question.

"You're horse thieves?"

"No, we're officers."

"Officers and soldiers pretending to be horse thieves?"

"Yes, we are ......" The man felt a little awkward and wanted to explain, but he was slapped in the face with a whip and gasped in pain.

"I'll answer whatever you want, just answer it, one more word, whip, this time it's a warning, and then talk nonsense, and the remaining two whips will be sent together, do you understand?"

The man looked at the young man in front of him, and a fear was born from the bottom of his heart, the other party said to fight, and killed when he said to kill, and he had no scruples at all.

"Understood."

"I will continue to ask, who are you pretending to be horse thieves under your instructions?"

The man's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed, and Gai Tinglun, who was following him, had already guessed the other party's intentions, and couldn't help but tremble.

Liu Ji waited for a moment, did not answer, pulled out a horizontal knife, in the man's frightened eyes, raised his hand, a white light flashed, the knife light accurately cut the man's throat, he gurgling, blood spurted from the wound and mouth, Liu Ji, who had been prepared, flashed to the side, so that he did not splash on himself.

"If you don't want to say it, you don't need to say it."

He carried the bloodied horizontal knife, walked to the next person, and lifted the man's chin with the light of the knife, who looked like a foreigner.

"Who are you?"

"Xi ...... Mockery. The man's voice trembled a little, and the scene just now gave him an incomparable shock, like meat on a chopping board, to be slaughtered.

"Although the answer is not right, but the intentions are good, I will let you go, next time you have to think clearly, but don't think too long, I don't have much patience."

"Are you officers and soldiers?"

"Yes." The man replied quickly.

"Officers and soldiers pretending to be horse thieves?"

"Yes."

"Who told you to do this?"

"Mr. Yan."

"Who does this Mr. Yan obey?"

"The Yang family."

"Which Yang family?"

"I heard Shangguan call him Dr. Yang, but I don't know which one."

The man was afraid that he would get a knife if he didn't agree with him, so he begged bitterly, Liu Ji glanced noncommittally at Gai Tinglun behind him, who had a gloomy face and nodded silently.

Yang Guozhong!

The result is not unexpected, but there is a difference of thousands of miles between conjecture and confirmation, a big man like Yang Guozhong, not to mention that he is a small town general, even Feng Changqing can't stand it, Liu Ji turned around and continued to ask.

"Doctor Yang instructed you to pretend to be horse thieves, who are you chasing and killing?"

"I only know that it is a Turkic woman in Beijing, when the people of Yang Mansion arrived, she had just given birth to a baby, that is, the one in front, I never thought that it was saved by the pair of men and women, the two of them were strong in martial arts, and the capital was not good at acting in a big way, so they escaped, and then ordered me to chase and kill all the way until here."

Turks?

Liu Ji kept it in mind, and then asked: "Among your people, who knows the inside story?" ”

"The man you took down, he is our leader."

Liu Ji had already guessed this, but after confirming it through his mouth, it seemed that the one who was stunned by Xu Guangjing was the key person.

He walked up to another person and continued to ask Fang Cai's words, if yes to the third, the answer was the same, they were instructed by a person surnamed Yan, sent by the Yang Mansion to hunt down and kill the man and woman.

But no one knows what this Mr. Yan is called.

After asking for a confession, he called Xu Guangjing over and commanded.

"Make a record, let all the people sign and draw the pledge, and those who can write write their names, places of origin, and positions in the army, if they can't, you can write them for them, and then press their handprints, including those who are dead, no one is missing."

Xu Guangjing lowered his head and asked again: "What about after you finish it?" ”

"Didn't I tell you early in the morning?"

Liu Ji's words did not fluctuate, but Xu Jingjing's eyes shrank when he heard it, he silently clenched his fists and turned to leave.

Gai Tinglun didn't understand their conversation, but he guessed his intentions, and suddenly felt a shudder, and when the prepared confession was taken, even Liu Ji couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, because the military status of those people was the same place without exception.

Fan Yang.
