Qianmud City has been rumored recently, and there are fewer people on the streets, and only those who have to come out to find food dare to hang their necks and wander around. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info no one wants to leave the house if they can deal with it.

Mo Cong and Shao Weng were drinking tea again. Mo Cong's face was intoxicated, and Shao Weng was already impatient: "This kid is looking for death!" ”

Mo Cong smiled: "It's not strange, it's not the first time he's done this kind of thing, I remember doing it in Chang'an a few years ago, at that time I could be said to have suffered a heavy loss, Chang'an lost half of the manpower, and now there are only a few people left, so I came to the Western Regions." ”

"This is the handiwork of his people hiding in the shadows?"

Mo Cong nodded: "Not bad!" He turned his head and asked Mo Yu, who was standing on the side, "How many people have died?" ”

"One hundred and ninety-seven people have died in three days, and our people account for the majority, and Mr. Shao's also has them."

"How can there still be ordinary people?"

Mo Yu hurriedly said: "There are no ordinary people, the rest are businessmen from all over the world, there is no law to kill these businessmen, all those who act alone are among the assassins, and now the businessmen are frightened one by one, and some people have gone back, but they were assassinated halfway, and they can't go out of Qianmud City for thirty miles." ”

"So ruthless? Could it be that this kid wants to trap Thousand Mud City to death? ”

Mo Cong said: "It's hard to say, this kid has another characteristic, that is, he is bold, and surprisingly big, when he attacked the Nanban, he once took 10,000 people to attack the capital of the Nanban King, and ordinary people can't do such a thing." ”

"Humph! What about being bold? Tomorrow we will send someone to kill him and his 1,000 guards!" The old man didn't believe it, his guards could be compared with the elite soldiers of Shanshanguo! ”

Mo Cong waved his hand: "This is the next step, rest assured, these things have long been expected by the old man, and he can't run." ”

Su Ren was scratching his head in the room of the inn, and there was a row of corpses in front of him, all of whom had come to make trouble last night. Su Ren was very awake when he slept, but he didn't hear anything last night. The corpses in front of him include people from the Western Regions, Qiang people, and Huns. Judging from the clothes, they should be guards, but the delicate appearance of their faces betrayed them.

The corpses were dressed casually, but they were all Han Chinese faces. Even if the hair and eyes are messy, that flat face can't be disguised. Speaking of which, each race has its own characteristics. The faces of the Han people are more square, the cheekbones are not as high as those of Europeans, and the eye sockets are not as deep as those of other people, not to mention the height. But there is one thing that Europeans are not as good as Asians, and that is endurance.

The tortured guy was almost covered in bruises, but he still gritted his teeth and didn't speak, pretending to be deaf and dumb no matter what Shi Bao asked. After discovering the poison hidden between the teeth of the back molars, the man became a living dead.

After Su Ren finished reading the corpse, he didn't have any opinions, waved his hand and let people throw it out of the inn, regardless of what Shanshanguo's people did, and took Huang Shisan and Manniu to Shi Bao's interrogation room. The light in the room was very dim, and this was originally the firewood room of the inn, but after being rented by Su Ren and demanding that no matter what happened here, the shopkeeper could not come, it became Shi Bao's interrogation room.

A knife was pulled on the man's chest, and Shi Bao smiled: "Don't you say it yet?" Don't pretend you don't understand, you don't have to hide the fact that you are Han. ”

The man didn't say anything, but kept his teeth on the ground. When I first came in, I could still feel the pain of these tortures, but now even if I chop him, I don't feel much anymore.

Another knife, this time Shi Bao cut off a piece of flesh, and shook it in front of the man: "There is a kind of criminal law you should know, called chopping, it is said to have been invented by the king of Zhou, and the person who is punished will experience different knives according to the size of the crime, as little as three or five times, and as many as three hundred and sixty knives, saying that it is in accordance with the principles of heaven, in my opinion, there is a lot of flesh on people, and one knife and one knife are cut, how can three hundred and sixty knives be cut?" ”

Without waiting for the man to speak, Shi Bao continued: "Your luck is good, I saw such a punishment when I was in Yuanshan before, the flesh of that person's whole body was cut, and he still didn't die, and he died after a full night, do you know how he died?" Let me tell you, I was not tortured to death, but I was sucked alive by the mosquitoes in Wonsan, and when I died, there was not much blood on the ground, and I didn't sleep for three days. ”

"Later, I learned this method from that one, and I haven't had a chance to practice it, but today is just right, then you practice your hands!" Shi Bao paused for a moment and glanced at the man: "After so many years, I don't know if there is any rustiness, in case you cut three hundred and sixty knives and you are not dead, don't blame me, there are few mosquitoes in this Western Regions, and it is still winter, the weather is cold, people's blood flow is slow, it is estimated that you will live longer." ”

The man's forehead was already sweating, and the sweat with salt seeped into the wound, and it was even more painful.

Su Ren sat on the chair by the door, among his subordinates, Hawking was brave, Han Qing was erudite, and Gou Tianming was loyal, only this Shi Bao was a weirdo. Living in Wonsan since childhood, the sinister environment and the intrigue between his parents have made Shibao change a lot. Shi Bao is an obedient baby in front of Twelve Niang, Shi Bao is a flamboyant bastard in front of Su Ren, and Shi Bao is a cunning fox in front of all enemies. Today he showed his cruel face again.

Shi Bao raised his short sword: "Don't say it yet?" Well, I'll ask you once if you haven't cut a piece of meat, it's up to you how many knives you are going to be cut and then die! ”

"Ah......h Shi Bao smiled: "I thought you were a dumb person?" Let's say, if you dare to come here to assassinate, you will already be dead, as for how to die, you can choose, this condition is very cost-effective, let me tell you one more thing, our husband will never affect his family, of course, there is a limit to not affecting his family, you say yes, Wang Liu? ”

Hearing the words Wang Liu, the guy's eyes widened suddenly, and then they became dim. Shi Bao said: "Your family is in Wangjiazhuang, Jibei, there is an old lady and wife at home, the eldest of a pair of children is only five years old this year, and the second is only three years old, the people in Wangjiazhuang are all your clansmen, although the place is hidden, but it is a good place to set fire, as long as the entrance to the village is blocked, a fire goes down, I estimate ......"

"Say no more! I said, I'll say it all......" Wang Liu's raised head drooped, and tears dripped down the tip of his nose to the ground.

Shi Bao smiled: "That's right, it's much better to die alone than a family, say it, tell everything you know." ”

"You promise not to trouble my people?"

"I promise!" Su Ren stood up and stood beside Shi Bao.

Wang Liu glanced at Su Ren: "Mr. Su is full of words, I believe it!" ”

Mo Yu hurriedly ran into the back garden of the palace, ignoring the gazes cast by the palace maids and women. When one foot was buried in the moon gate, I saw Mo Cong admiring the flowers with his hands behind his back. It was a plum plant, not tall or stout, and the flowers were even sparse and spiritless. However, Mo Cong looked very carefully, and every petal and stamen had to be looked at twice.

"Giant!" Mo Yu stood a foot behind Mo Cong and saluted.

Mo Cong didn't look back: "How?" ”

"Wang Liu has already said it, and he said it under severe torture."

Mo Cong smiled slightly: "Then do you say Su Ren believes it or not?" ”

"I don't know!"

Mo Cong looked back at Mo Yu and walked along the path into the pavilion. Today's weather is very good, the wind has stopped blowing for a long time, the sun is hanging in the sky, and the snow is melting where it was illuminated, which is a good sign that spring is not far away. However, no one immediately took off their furs, because this is the Western Regions, and even in spring it is very cold.

Mo Cong said as he walked: "Do you also think that I am a little cruel in using this method?" ”

Mo Yu didn't make a sound. Mo Cong continued: "This is also a last resort, Su Ren has a cunning temperament, and he has a great vision, he will analyze the reason for the general news, and only with this kind of dead rape can he gain something!" Of course, as a teacher, he didn't dare to guarantee whether Su Ren would really believe it, but as long as Su Ren believed half of it, it was enough. ”

Mo Yu was still silent. Mo Cong nodded helplessly: "What's the movement between Win Guangji and Thorns?" ”

"These two are very quiet, and have stayed with their own people since the accident in the city, and have never left an inch."

"Hehe, these two people are still a little deficient compared to Su Ren, such a good situation is a good opportunity for them to fight hard, but they just shrink, no wonder they are not Su Ren's opponents." Mo Cong said: "Go and tell Brother Shao, and let's say it's started!" ”

"No!"

Mo Yu turned around to leave, but Mo Cong suddenly stopped: "By the way, there is another thing that should let you know, that friend of yours is now in Cheshi Country, and he is with the Han envoy, it is said that he came from Alashankou, and he will come to Qianni City next month at the latest, and their whereabouts have been targeted by the Huns, if you want to go, go there." ”

Mo Yu lowered his head and behaved extremely respectfully. Mo Cong sighed: "You are a child of affection, just this time it is to repay your apology to your friend, who knows what the outcome of the matter in the Western Regions will be in the end, maybe the teacher will still need your protection in the future, this can be regarded as a back road left for the teacher for himself, right?" ”

Mo Yu knelt on the gravel road with a puff, and the sound made people shudder. Mo Cong turned around and waved his hand. Mo Yu kowtowed to Mo Cong's back, got up and walked out of the back garden of the royal city. The two of them were forgetful, and no one noticed that behind a bush of purple bamboos not far from them, a pair of eyes saw the whereabouts of the two clearly.

Mo Yu had just left, and those eyes had disappeared into the bamboo bushes. The man left, Mo Cong shook his head and smiled bitterly, didn't even look at the place, picked up the tea bowl on the stone table and took a sip. In winter, the tea cools quickly, and the tea that has just been poured has become cold, and it tastes very bad when you drink it in your mouth, leaving no sweetness but bitterness. But Mo Cong insisted on drinking the cup of tea clean, and the cold rushed from his throat to his stomach, except that the taste was not good, the cool breath was very good.
