After a few moments, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps.

Sun Yuan turned his head to see that the fire in the room had been extinguished, and Fei Hong and the others ran in with weapons and muskets on their backs.

The donkey exclaimed excitedly: "Sun Gongzi, this time it is a pleasure, it is really happy!" ”

Sun Yuan: "Is it all solved?" ”

Fei Hong nodded: "Don't worry, Childe, those ten thieves have been killed by us." ”

The donkey kept rubbing his hands, the back of his right hand was broken, and blood was pouring out: "Those thieves and birds are still fighting with grandpa for wine, mother, when grandpa used to be in the border army, he drank two catties of wine at a time, and his face was not red." We're going to take them all down today. This battle is not interesting, just lift the thief, slam it against the wall, and it will be over in an instant. ”

Wen Laosan continued to expose his shortcomings in a weird manner: "Donkey, you don't blow nonsense, who was pressed on the ground and stuck by the neck just now and couldn't get out, it's not that Lao Tzu saw that the situation was not good, he operated a musket, and put on the medicine to hold the fire." Even if you don't die, you'll have to be choked unconscious. ”

The donkey was furious and shouted: "Wen Laosan, you are a plague weapon, grandpa is willing to let people jam his neck, lower his vigilance, and ask you to do more." The house was full of people, and the musket guns were not accurate, so what happened if they hit someone? Brother Fei, you have to use military law to deal with Wen Laosan. ”

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Wen Laosan's neckline.

The two twisted together in an instant.

Fei Hong snorted coldly: "Stop, how can you make a mistake in front of the son?" ”

Only then did the two let go of each other, and although they didn't fight, they still blew each other's beards and glared.

Fei Hong respectfully bowed his hand to Sun Yuanyi: "Childe, the thieves have been dealt with, what to do next, please show me." He pointed at Shi Daxiang again: "How is Lord Shi here?" ”

Sun Yuan smiled bitterly: "Master Shi still doesn't trust me now, Master Shi, let's continue!" ”

Shi Daxiang didn't expect things to turn out like this, the whole person was stunned, but he couldn't say a word.

Only Ding Sheng was still kneeling on the ground, covering his face with his hands, and his shoulders couldn't stop shaking.

Donkey: "There's another person here who is unfinished!" As he spoke, he lifted the knife and wanted to cut at Ding Sheng's head.

Sun Yuan grabbed his hand and shook his head.

Then he said to Ding Sheng gently: "Xiao Ding, I have already told you what I should say just now." As a man, you have to be treated, it is impossible for you to be alone outside with a big scale and a small scale and a small scale of gold, eat meat, drink wine in a big bowl and be happy, regardless of the life and death of the old mother at home, right? Now that the thieves have gone far away, it's time for you to go home, let's go, let's go! ”

Xiao Ding raised his head, there were tears on his face, and the whole person seemed to be demented.

Sun Yuan pulled him up and shouted, "Could it be that you still want to chase Liu Zongmin, regardless of your mother, and want to be a beast?" Even if you catch up with the thief army now, let me get out, and all ten of my men will die cleanly, will Liu Zongmin easily spare you? Go, go home, go home! ”

The word "go home" was louder than louder, and the echo in the room echoed.

Xiao Ding shuddered, came to his senses, knelt down and kowtowed again, then gritted his teeth and got up, and walked away without looking back.

"Childe, do you just let him go?" Wen Laosan's face was grim, he looked at Xiao Ding's back, and said in a low voice: "Or, I'll catch up and kill him?" ”

Sun Yuan shook his head: "Although this person is a thief, his quality is not bad." If there is a word of filial piety in this person's heart, it is not considered a good conscience, and he should not go to Liu Zongmin to report the news. ”

There should be a limit to being a man, although Sun Yuan can also kill people, but he can kill Ding Sheng, at least he can't do it now.

Fei Hong admired his face: "The son is benevolent and righteous!" ”

Sun Yuan sat back on the chair and pointed to Shi Daxiang again: "Give Master Shi a seat, order a few more lights, by the way, go get a few more bronze mirrors." ”

He smiled dumbly: "Master Shi, I guess we won't be able to sleep tonight, stay up!" ”

"Traitor!" Shi Daxiang scolded bitterly.

Soon, some people got some large mirrors, and the lights in the house were as bright as day.

Under Sun Yuan's instructions, several mirrors shone light on Shi Daxiang's face at the same time, shaking him so much that he couldn't open his eyes.

Sun Yuan cleared his throat: "Okay, continue." Mr. Shi, please report your name. ”

Shi Daxiang laughed angrily: "Good thief, are you a prisoner?" I saw you kill a thief just now, I thought you still had a trace of loyalty to the court, hehe, I didn't expect that a thief is still a thief! ”

Sun Yuan remained silent: "Name, oh, your name is Shi Daxiang, then, let me ask you, your place of origin?" ”

He didn't mention the matter of printing the letter, but continued to ask the questions he had asked before, over and over again. In addition to his name and place of origin, he was also asked how many people there were in his family and what their names were. In what year was he a jinshi, and where did he become an official?

When it comes to privacy issues, Shi Daxiang naturally ignores it. But the matter of Zhongjinshi was the most proud part of his life, and he had the heart to show off, so he told himself which year he was Jinshi and what officials he had done.

That's a long time.

Sun Yuan listened to the question, nodded, stretched, and said to Fei Hong: "It's your change, I'll stare at it first." ”

Just sit next to him and fall asleep.

By the time he woke up, the person in charge of interrogating Shi had been replaced by another person who was articulate. It's still those questions that go over and over, not to mention Shi Daxiang, even Sun Yuan is irritable when he listens to it.

After estimating, the time has reached two o'clock at midnight Beijing time in the future.

Although poor Shi Shishi turned a deaf ear, he couldn't close his eyes, because as long as he only had a little sign of a chicken pecking rice, someone next to him gently poked his waist: "Lord Shi, my lord!" ”

Then, Shi Daxiang raised his head as if he was electrocuted.

Sun Yuan rubbed his eyes and said with a wry smile: "Master Shi, do you want to sleep, we are all tired." Otherwise, you will borrow the seal for Xiaosheng, and after using it, it will naturally be returned to you, and everyone will be light. ”

"What a thief, he actually used such a trick." Shi Daxiang gritted his teeth.

Sun Yuan sighed, got up and walked towards the ear room: "The spirit of the adult is just right, go on." The principal has a misunderstanding with us, so let's persuade us to clear up this misunderstanding. Remember, be courteous. I'll sleep for a while, and something will call me. ”

That's right, Sun Yuan used the most commonly used interrogation method in later generations---- fatigue bombing---- if he wasn't a strong-minded person, he couldn't bear it at all. Sun Yuan has never heard of this trick made by the ancients. Presumably, Shi Daxiang has no means to deal with it.

I don't know how long I slept in the ear room, and suddenly I heard a cheer outside. When I opened my eyes, the sky was already bright, and I saw Fei Hong, Donkey and others rushing in excitedly, "Beckoned, found." ”

Sun Yuan just woke up, and his mind was still a little confused: "What's the trick?" ”

Jiang Donkey waved an object wrapped in red silk cloth in his hand: "After our persuasion all night, Master Shi was extraordinarily kind and handed over the seal. ”

Hearing him say the word "persuasion", everyone couldn't help but want to laugh and held back uncomfortably.

Sun Yuan was excited, hurriedly jumped off the bed, grabbed it, opened the silk cloth, and when he saw it, it was suddenly the seal letter of the Nanjing Household Department in Fengyang. The most satisfying thing for him is that there is also a box of ink clay in it.

"It's finally here, this errand is finally done!" Sun Yuan had a feeling of looking up to the sky and roaring.

Then he burst out laughing.

Seeing that Sun Yuan was happy like this, everyone was also full of color.

After laughing, Sun Yuan hurriedly took out the seal letter from his arms, and carefully covered it.

Then he carefully wrapped a few layers of Kanhe with pig urine bladder, pasted the meat and hid it, and then asked with a smile: "How is Master Shi?" ”

The donkey said proudly: "What else can you want, don't say it, Childe's method is really good." asked a few questions over and over again, and talked all night, but Master Shi really couldn't stand it. When it was dawn, I really couldn't endure it, so I screamed angrily, the eunuch is hateful, don't you want the seal of the official, just give it to you. ”

Then, Master Shi said the location of the Tibetan seal letter. Coincidentally, his official seal was placed under the coffee table in the corner of the hall where we were eating just now. It's annoying that there are so many of us, and no one has found out. ”

The donkey scratched his head and smiled: "Childe's method of interrogating prisoners is so wonderful, I really never thought that I could make someone confess without punishment, but if it was me, I would be tossed like this, but I couldn't bear it." ”

Everyone nodded.

Fei Hong said: "Childe, Master Shi is an official of the imperial court, and his status is noble, if he refuses to say where the official seal is hidden, we have no way, and it is impossible to torture." Childe's method is unique, and the villain is convinced. ”

"I'm all served." And all the people said in unison.

When the room was a little quieter, Fei Hong asked again: "Childe, where are we going, and please show me?" ”

The donkey said loudly: "Where else can I go, we have now sold more than 100 catties to Gongzi, so naturally we have to go back to the house with Gongzi." ”

It is said that Sun Yuan should take Fei Hong and the others back to Rugao next, but before leaving, he has to take the more than 100 taels of gold first. The problem is that the gold is still hidden in the suburbs of Fengyang City, and at the moment there are still thieves, and now in the past, it is undoubtedly self-defeating.

Fortunately, according to the real history, the peasant army had only stayed in Fengyang for three days in total, and it was now the third day. Tomorrow, Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong will leave.

In other words, Sun Yuan had to stay in Fengyang Mansion for one day.

Sun Yuan thought for a while and said, "Go to Linhuai County first and find a boat." ”

Fei Hong nodded: "Childe's words are extremely true, there are thieves everywhere here, if you go east indiscriminately, you will inevitably collide with the thieves who broke into the camp." Let's go to the Huai River to find a boat, as long as there is a boat, on the water, no matter how many thieves there are, there is no way to take us. ”

Sun Yuan: "Okay, we have been in Yingwuwei all night, in case Liu Thief becomes suspicious, and sends someone to check, let's set off immediately." ”

Soon, the team was assembled.

At this time, someone exclaimed: "What about Third Brother Wen, why didn't you see anyone?" ”

Sun Yuan and Fei Hong looked fixedly, but Wen Laosan was missing from the team.

Fei Hong: "Have any of you seen Wen Laosan?" ”

Someone replied: "I didn't see it, yesterday when it was dark, after killing those ten thieves, the third brother said that he was tired, and found a room to sleep, and he is probably still sleeping." ”

Fei Hong's face was difficult to look at: "This Wen Laosan, when did he still sleep, go and find it." ”

Everyone hurriedly ran to look for it, but after looking for a long time, they searched through the Yingwuwei Mansion, but they still didn't find Wen Laosan.

Sun Yuan took a breath of cold air: Where did this Wen Laosan go?

There was a faint hint of uneasiness in my heart.
