Chapter 89: Extorting Confessions by Torture

Chen Zhongqing leaned against the wall at the corner, cautiously stretched out his head, and glanced at the dead soldiers of Northern Liao who were surrounded by heavy pressure, his eyes were calm. Jumping out of the middle of the www.biquge.info is not an accident, but a deliberate plan. If he had been in the car at the time, he might have ended up with the coachman who had fallen to the ground.

No matter how fast the action of the cicada trap net is, it is not as fast as the death soldier slashing it with a knife.

More than twenty scouts from the Cardinals' trap surrounded the dead man in a back-to-back circle. The machine crossbow and the Yanling knife cooperated with each other, and the circle surrounded by the knife and crossbow did not leak for this group of Northern Liao dead soldiers. The cicada trapping network has been fighting with the Northern Liao spies for many years, and knows how to capture this group of cunning foxes alive, and extract information from the mouths of the dead soldiers.

The chief of guard of the Cardinal Division, who was in charge of the arrest, covered his face and walked over step by step. Previously, he didn't pay much attention to the scholars standing against the wall, and when he saw that there were more officials in the cardinal's weak legs, there was nothing to lose elsewhere except for intrigue and internal friction in the officialdom. In the eyes of the nobles of the court, it is not as good as a cicada catcher.

Even if he was disdainful in his heart, in the face of Song Guanzi's distinguished guests, the chief of the guard still sold enough face in front of Chen Zhongqing, and said humbly with his fists, "Let Chen Gongzi be frightened." ”

"Do you want to keep your mouth alive?"

"Huh?"

Chen Zhongqing didn't care about his appeasement at all, but turned his head and asked calmly, "Let me ask you if you are alive?" Do you want to get information out of the mouths of four people now? ”

The chief of the guard in charge of protection and supervision was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, he thought that this kind of matter involved military secrets and should not be asked by a son of an official eunuch, so he played a Tai Chi and wanted to fool the past, "These matters will be handed over to our Cardinal Department to deal with, please Chen Gongzi ......"

Syllable.

A slap was slapped on the head of the guard, and his left cheek ached, and the other party's eyes briefly lingered with a look of surprise. When he looked at Chen Zhongqing, he saw an indifferent expression.

"Is it your plan to put me in danger?

"The big picture counts."

"Then you should know who I am, the weight of my family in the imperial court, and the weight in the hearts of Song officials, right?"

"But ......"

"If people hear that the Cardinal Division asked Shang Shu's right servant to shoot the second son as a bait, and almost became a ghost under the knife, what will the Chen family, as a celebrity around the nine thousand years old, do?"

The chief of the guard was in a cold sweat, before Song Guanzi only said that he was a good friend, but he did not say that he was behind the Bianliang Chen family. Otherwise, if you eat the heart of a bear, the leopard will not dare to let the other party risk it.

The Adam's apple rolled a few times, and the head of the guard trembled with his hands, and he lowered his head and did not dare to make a sound.

"Forget it, the ignorant are not guilty."

Chen Zhongqing deliberately sighed and said, "I can make a deal with you, I will interrogate seven people, and you will report the information from their mouths to Song Guanzi word for word, and then you will keep silent about the situation and write it off, how about it?" ”

The head of the guard's eyes turned, and his mind quickly considered the pros and cons.

The other party's request was a bit excessive, and the interrogation of the Cardinal Department did not need to be handled by outsiders, but at this time, the cicada trapping network had already taken down the spies of Beiliao, and the other party's powerless scholar could not make much mistake, thinking of this, he nodded and agreed to Chen Zhongqing's request.

A person who reads books, no matter how much he goes too far, will not go anywhere.

The chief guard comforted himself inwardly.

"I also need a knife."

Before the chief guard could react, Chen Zhongqing took out the short knife on his belt and walked out of the corner, walking calmly towards the dead man.

The movements of the cicada trapping net were just right, the crossbow arrows and knife wounds were not fatal wounds, the wild goose feathers were on their necks, although there were wounds on their legs and they were forced to kneel down, but they still raised their heads arrogantly, staring at Chen Zhongqing who was walking towards them, and the chief of the guard behind him who was guarding against the resistance of the dead soldiers.

Chen Zhongqing faced the few people in the cardinal's cicada trapping net, smiled and nodded, like an elegant scribe asking them questions, "Which of you understands the language of Northern Liao?" ”

Several people looked at each other, and one of them, a thinner man, raised his hand and whispered, "I understand." ”

"Very well, now I'm going to interrogate these four people, you can help me translate."

The scout's face was embarrassed, the cardinal's interrogation should not be interrogated by outsiders.

One of the cicada catchers with a crossbow questioned on the spot, he couldn't get used to seeing the bookish teenager in front of him standing on his head and pointing fingers, these are all spies who are used to killing people and setting fires, except for the boss who is directly responsible, everyone else can not listen to what they say.

"This is our cardinal's business, when will it be your turn as an outsider to talk more. It's none of your business, hurry up. ”

The swordsman waved his hand impatiently, telling Chen Zhongqing to get out of the way early. At the moment, the most important thing is to send these people to the torture department of the cardinal department on Liangzhe Road for interrogation. He dared to be full of confidence because the entire Southern Jin Dynasty knew that behind their cardinal division was a powerful nine thousand years old, and no fool who didn't open his eyes dared to argue with these people openly.

"Oh? Is it? ”

Chen Zhongqing raised his eyebrows, took the crossbow in the hand of the chief of guards, and pulled the trigger towards the calf of the disrespectful swordsman.

"Ahh

Calf and calf.

A heart-rending wail of pain tore through the peace of the alley, and the people around were stunned to stare at Chen Zhongqing who shot the crossbow arrow, but his face did not change, and he even loaded the second crossbow arrow very neatly.

"I'll kill you!"

The first crossbow shot his other leg with unmistakable accuracy, and the knife man fell to the ground and rolled in pain, his calf already stained red with blood, and the blood flowing on the ground looked particularly dazzling in the moonlight.

Before the others could react for a while, their own people fell, and they were taken down by the scholars who seemed to be weak. Just now they were still laughing in a low voice, and in the blink of an eye, the weak scholar showed a bold killing method.

"That's enough."

The head of the guard grabbed Chen Zhongqing's hand, narrowed his narrow eyelids, and pressed his other hand on the hilt of the knife, lightly pulling out an inch of blade, but was held down by the scholar in front of him, and then pressed back.

The young man's expression was as calm as ever, and there was a lazy tone in his gestures, he half-squatted down to look at the swordsman who fell to the ground in front of him, and said word by word, "Go, go and report to Song Guanzi, just say that I am here to assassinate the scout of the Cardinal Division." Go and report to your immediate superior, and say that a son of an official eunuch in Bianliang obstructs official business. Will you be able to take advantage of it, or will I be able to take advantage of it? ”

The swordsman's eyes crossed over to the young man in front of him and glanced at the chief guard behind him, who just lowered his head and shook it, signaling him not to make a big deal out of the conflict.

The swordsman glared at Chen Zhongqing hatefully, and was dragged aside by the two people around him to heal his injuries.

Chen Zhongqing threw it on the crossbow, indicating that he had no malicious intent. He squatted in front of the overwhelmed Northern Liao dead soldiers, glanced at a few of them with a smile, and said, "I'm not interested in you assassinating Ye Guozhu at all. On one question, I want to know the secret of the carriage, you must know what is inside? ”

The cardinal scouts around him were a little inexplicable, but they still translated them word by word.

Kneeling in front of him, the Northern Liao dead man raised his head, spat disdainfully, and said word by word, "We, Liao people, can't wait to kill all of you Han people!" Soon you will all die without a place to be buried! ”

"It turns out that you can speak the official dialect of the Southern Jin Dynasty, this is much simpler."

Chen Zhongqing smiled harmlessly, patted his head, and laughed inexplicably, and the sharp laughter sounded particularly infiltrating in the silent alleyway.

As soon as his eyes changed, Chen Zhongqing grabbed the other party's hair, pulled out the short knife inserted in the belt, aimed it at his jaw and stabbed it in, and then pulled it out suddenly, stabbed it in again, repeated several bloody thrusts, the corners of the other party's mouth

The sound and bloody breath reverberated faintly in the air, from Chen Zhongqing opening his mouth to drawing a knife to kill, he did not prepare the other people present at all, and his movements were smooth and almost like eating and drinking were all ordinary.

That curse became the last sound of his life.

The hand that was clutching his hair loosened, and a strong mountain of flesh collapsed, the corners of his mouth were still blistering with blood, and his dilated pupils stared at the smiling young man in front of him, and he fell to the ground, dead and blind.

Under the moonlight, the dust is flying.

The sound in the deep alley was as smooth as a pool of autumn water.

"Alright, next."
