Chapter 562: Counter-Assassination

Yan'an Mansion

After entering July, in the heart of northern Shaanxi, although there was no martial law in the "three Qin locks and keys, and five roads and throats", the guards were obviously strengthened, and soldiers were strictly checked in all passages to prevent careful work. At the beginning of this month, an intelligence network of the Western Army was cracked in the city, and Xu Wei was killed in an inn. These meticulous actions planted by the Western Army instigated the former general Yan Yan to rebel, and the incident was exposed.

This made Han Chang, Zhang Shen and others extremely shocked, under their noses, there was actually Xu Huer's spy, and according to investigation, this information has been in Yan'an for many years

The prison was dark and damp, and the stench was so foul that no one except the prisoners and jailers wanted to come to this unfortunate place. In the dark environment, there was the sound of whipping from time to time, whipping and whipping, very rhythmic, but there was no other sound except the sound of whipping.

A stout figure descended the stairs, and by the light of the prison door, it could be seen that the person was in his fifties, the whole person was like a big vat, short, strong and black, with a face full of thick beards, like a broom, and his two eyes were murderous, not angry but mighty. Behind him, followed by a few people, Fang entered the prison, and the chief of the palace stepped forward and said, "The villain has seen two people who are slightly more than a prince." ”

Han Chang didn't speak, and another well-dressed old man who had passed the sixtieth birthday said, "Have you recruited it?" ”

"Returning to Zhang Jingluo, these handfuls of birds' beaks are so hard that they can't see through anything," Oshiji replied with some annoyance.

That's not someone else, it's Zhang Shen, the commander of the Kaixi Army who guarded the precedent of surrender, said that cause and effect must be rewarded, and I don't know if it makes sense, but now Zhang Shen is a little worried, because after more than ten years, the Western Army has started the largest counteroffensive

Han Chang snorted coldly and walked forward quickly, and the Oshiji followed behind, showing the chief the way from time to time. In a short time, at the end of the cell, there was a rather spacious place, and several furnaces were lit with charcoal fires, which illuminated the place very brightly.

A number of shirtless jailers stood or sat up, and when they saw the commander coming, they got up one after another. On a torture rack in front of them, there was a man who was naked and 1U, his head was completely scattered, covering his face, and he couldn't tell his age at all. The skin on the body has been opened, and it is difficult to find a good skin.

Next to him, there were two more people hanging upside down, with a water tank placed under their heads, and both of them had water dripping on their heads, apparently just soaked. In addition, there was a man on the ground, motionless, and he did not know whether he was dead or alive.

"Who is he?" Han Chang asked, pointing to the prisoner tied to the torture rack.

According to investigation, he took over the shop after Yan'an was merged into Dajin Kingdom, and it has been more than ten years. Many officials of the Military and Department have dealings with him, and he is also one of the masterminds of this instigation of the general to oppose the water. However, according to the rebellious criminals, the Western Army planted in Yan'an Mansion is by no means limited to this place. The chief in charge of the case replied.

When Zhang Shen heard these words, there was a chill behind him, and he said in a deep voice: "If he doesn't recruit, you will use heavy punishment, and he will try everything once, and he won't believe that he can't pry his mouth open."

"It's useless, the villain has tried everything, this guy has not said a word since he was arrested, these are all dead pigs who are not afraid of boiling water" Oshiji shook his head.

Han Chang suddenly interjected, "Did you find anything from the inn?" ”

"In addition to a large amount of money, there are also a few waist cards that I don't know why, as well as a Zhu Ji." Oshido.

"Zhu Ji?" Han Chang knew that Zhu Ji was the official seal of a lower-level officer of the Song Army, and there was Zhu Ji, which meant that this guy was not white.

"Yes, judging from Zhu Ji, he has a nine-rank military rank. Meticulous work with military ranks, this is a situation that has never been seen before. "Abshitra.

Zhang Shen stepped forward slowly, approached the Jiupin Meticulous Works, looked at them a few times, and said sharply: "You are a Jiupin official, and your life is worth confessing earlier, not only to avoid the pain of flesh and skin, but also to save your life."

The man didn't know if he was unconscious, and he didn't react at all. Seeing this, Zhang Shen said: "Not only will you avoid death, but if you can confess completely, you will be considered a meritorious meritorious country, and the Dajin Kingdom will never treat you badly."

"Haha" The man suddenly laughed in this dark and terrifying prison, it was really strange to hear such a hearty laugh

"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Shen frowned.

"I laugh at some unscrupulous people who try to make me apostat, and you think that everyone is like you," the man shouted angrily.

Zhang Shen was furious: "If you don't confess, you're a dead person, I don't believe you have no parents, wives and children, no brothers and sisters"

"Bah, death is counted as soon as Lao Tzu dies, parents, wives and children have their own people to support, don't worry about you but you, the day the rebel declares that the army of the prime minister will break the city, it is the time for you to surrender to the law" The man scolded in a loud voice.

Zhang Shen rushed to the top of his head with a burst of anger, pulled out his saber with a choked sound, stabbed the other party in the stomach, clutched the handle of the knife, and gritted his teeth: "Let's see who dies first"

The man endured the severe pain, gritted his teeth and said: "Zhang Rebellion, your retribution is coming, your retribution is coming, Lao Tzu is looking at you with wide eyes, straight lady thief"

Zhang Shen didn't speak, pulled the steel knife in his hand, and the stench rolled out of his abdomen, but the other party still scolded: "My comrades will avenge me, you are waiting for you, waiting for you to wait for the straight mother thief, the straight mother thief", the tone gradually weakened, and even ignored it.

Zhang Shen pulled out his knife and slammed it on the ground, roaring angrily: "It's all this hard bone, right?" Kill them all."

"You, don't be careful, sleep with your head, get up without your head......" The man who was hanging upside down on the water tank said suddenly.

This sentence was more effective than swearing, Zhang Shen's heart sank, and he asked, "What did you say?"

"Hey...... The surname is Zhang, someone wants your level, and you can't escape. The man laughed weirdly.

"Who is it, is it Xu Wei" Zhang Shen stepped forward, grabbed the other party's head, and roared hysterically. "Did you say that Xu Wei and you still have people in the city, yes and no"

Han Chang, who had been silent, stopped at this time: "Okay, it's useless, let's kill it." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out of the prison.

Zhang Shen sneered: "Lao Tzu has been messing around for decades, he is dead if he is enough, and Lao Tzu is more beautiful than you" After saying that, he let go of the other party, shook the water in his hand, and turned away.

After leaving the prison, he was a little uncomfortable with the sunlight outside, and when he was shielding it with his hand, he heard Han Chang say: "Martial law, no entry and exit." ”

"I'll do it right away." Zhang Shen responded.

"Xu Wei is temporarily blocked in Danzhou, we must seize this opportunity, gather troops, and eat the enemy of Ganquan first, otherwise, it will be troublesome to fight in the future." Han Chang commanded.

Zhang Shen responded again, and the two were about to go out, when they suddenly saw an official coming in a hurry, and reported in a panic: "The two of them are slightly more public, last night, the Senator of the Shuai Division was stabbed at home."
