The masked man stood up slowly, glanced at Tao Sheng coldly, and the evil aura in his eyes was also cold with Tao Sheng's rich experience and calm mentality. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"It seems that Tao Jun hasn't figured out his situation yet." The masked man's tone was calm, but there was a chill, "Then, let me remind Tao Jun again-now I am a sword, and you are a fish." I can only ask questions. Are you ......?"

The masked man stretched out his index finger and shook it in front of Tao Sheng's eyes.

"Let's go." The masked man greeted him, and several accomplices turned around and left.

Tao Sheng was stunned for a moment, he was ready to be tortured, but he didn't expect the other party to leave like this?!

The masked man walked to the door, as if he remembered something, and looked back and said: "I almost forgot to remind Tao Jun that if you don't loosen and soothe the blood veins for an hour, I'm afraid this muscle and bone will be very inappropriate; For more than a day and night, I'm afraid this arm will be useless......"

In fact, why do you need to be reminded by the other party, how can Tao Sheng not know this common sense, he has not been a good gentleman in the past few years. Suppressing bandits and exterminating thieves, sweeping away Hu has done a lot of work, and I can't count how many pairs of arms have been tied up. I didn't realize it before, but I thought that the other party would go back and ask the people behind the scenes. Unexpectedly, the other party had such an idea, Tao Sheng's face turned pale, and the corners of his eyes twitched a few times.

This detail was captured by the masked man, and a sly smile flashed in his eyes: "There are guards outside the door, when Tao Jun is willing to speak, just call, I will hear the news." ”

Boom! The wooden door slammed shut.

Tao Sheng in the dark sat up with difficulty, struggled hard and then despaired, these people's binding methods were very sophisticated, and they used a two-arm recurve type of binding, which was not strong at all. What's more serious is that in this way, within an hour, the tendons will definitely be sprained, and even the bones will be misaligned. At that time, even if it was loose, the arm was almost useless, let alone a day and night......

Half-lying on the cold ground, from time to time I felt insects and ants crawling, my arms became more and more numb, and I gradually lost consciousness—this is a fear that slowly eats away at the mind. It is not as violent as torture, which makes people tense their muscles and mobilize their whole body to resist, it only eats away at the will little by little.

When you clearly know that your two arms will be numb and necrotic in the passage of time, you will change from an able-bodied person to a disability that needs to be helped...... That kind of fear is enough to drive people crazy.

"It's someone from the Wang family, it must be someone from the Wang family, only they have a reason to deal with the head of the family. The Wang family is half a day, if the Wang family makes a move, even the head of the family can only tie his hands, I am a retainer, what is the use of struggling? It's just self-sacrifice......" Tao Sheng repeatedly said similar things to himself, this is actually a kind of self-hypnosis, repeating too much, and finally he will believe and accept such a conclusion.

"Master, I'm sorry. I...... I don't want to be crippled! Tao Sheng struggled to his knees and knocked his head three times to the south. When he raised his head, the despair and guilt in his eyes had disappeared, and in his place was a strong desire to survive and survive.

With all his strength, he roared in the direction of the gate: "If you want to know anything, just ask—"

The heavy wooden door creaked open, the fire shone brightly, and masked people entered one after another. The first thing the masked man said was, "Untie him." ”

Tao Sheng was loosened, but his arms were stiff, he didn't want to move for half an hour, and his muscles and veins were damaged, and he would have to be raised for at least half a month before he slowly recovered—of course, provided that this group of people kept their promise and let him go.

Since you can't resist, you can simply be single. Tao Sheng said while moving his hands and feet: "Can I ask something?" ”

"Tell me about it." Probably seeing Tao Sheng's willingness to cooperate, the masked man was more satisfied, and he also knew how to repay the favor.

Ru Ji ...... Why did you frame me? ”

Unexpectedly, it was such a question, and several masked people couldn't help but look up and laugh, and only after laughing did they say, "Bitch is ruthless, haven't you heard of it?" ”

Tao Sheng didn't laugh, and said seriously: "I want to know the real reason." ”

The head of the masked man thought for a moment and said, "Well, since Tao Jun cares so much, it doesn't hurt to tell you the truth." That Ru Ji's brother, you know, has all five poisons. I sent someone to the gambling house to bet with him, and he ended up in a huge debt that he would never be able to pay off. Then I sent for Ru Ji and gave her two choices: first, she would never see this brother; 2. She will never see you. Guess who, he will choose? ”

Now Tao Sheng smiled: "I understand...... This silly woman. ”

Tao Sheng was silent for a moment and said, "I promise, I will never look for this woman." Can you not look for her at the end of your feet? ”

The masked man smiled: "I can't imagine that Tao Jun is so pitiful and cherishes jade...... To tell the truth, this matter may disappoint Tao Jun. ”

Tao Sheng sighed, everything that should be said has been said, he is also benevolent and righteous, and he will not be entangled.

Next, the masked man began to ask questions. However, Tao Sheng noticed that it was not the head of the masked man who was asking questions, but a masked man who spoke slowly and logically, and from time to time there would be a subconscious movement of his beard. Just listening to this person's first question, Tao Sheng knew that this guy was definitely a person in officialdom.

"You were the head of Star Picking City. What is this principal? What is the authority? Is it a change of state minister? ”

Tao Sheng thought for a while and replied: "Below is the retainer of the Hou Mansion, this principal is equivalent to the family, and the position is also the same as the retainer, taking care of the affairs of the city for the head of the family." In the next is just a domestic slave, how dare to compare with the country. ”

The head of the masked man interjected, "What you say, we will have another way to verify it." If it's not true, then don't blame me for tying it up again. ”

That kind of fear was uncomfortable, Tao Sheng would never want to come a second time, so he was also very simple: "I said, what do you want to know, just ask." ”

"Good. How many soldiers are there in Star City? ”

"Three hundred." Tao Sheng was really happy, this figure had been reported to the imperial court, there was a record, and the fact was the same, so he didn't need to hesitate to answer.

"But I've heard that it's not all. What else did Fuping Marquis get a 'reserve'...... This is hiding soldiers from the people. ”

Tao Sheng clucked for a moment, the other party also knew about this? Sure enough, I came prepared. Fortunately, the head of the family had already prepared a response rhetoric, and he just followed it: "Saiwaihudi, unlike Middle Earth, the grassland tribes, regardless of men, women, old and young, but those who can cross horses and bend bows are all soldiers. Star City's move is just vulgar. The heavenly family has long said that when you enter the Hu land, you should follow the customs. ”

Fuping Hou is really not afraid that someone will make a fuss about this. In terms of seriousness, is there anything more subversive than the Hu people's subversive impact on the Central Plains? A dignified princess, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren married, placed in the Central Plains, this is the behavior of birds and beasts, a thousand knives are not exaggerated, and the stench is more than innocent for 10,000 years. However, even the wise and martial Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could only helplessly say "When you enter the Hu land, you should follow the customs".

Outside the lonely hanging fortress of Star City, there is no rear and no support, but it has to assume the function of the Han Dynasty's pathfinder and outpost, and can it be done militarily?

The fact that the Marquis of Fuping did not report the matter of the reserve does not mean that the Son of Heaven does not know and the princes do not know. Perhaps, it's just tacit.

The man couldn't catch the handle, so he had to change to another question. Next, the other party asked a few more questions, and Tao Sheng answered freely, with a calm expression, very frank, and an expression of "even if you torture me, I will answer this way".

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything famous, the masked man couldn't help but be depressed.

Tao Sheng's heart was relieved, and he was about to say two words to ease the scene, when the masked head who had not spoken suddenly said: "What secret is the Marquis of Fuping hiding in the west of the city?" ”

Tao Sheng's head buzzed, and at this moment, he tried his best to stay calm. But he knew that his face must have changed, and he couldn't escape the knife-like eyes of the masked man's head.

There was a smile in the masked man's eyes, knowing that this blow hit the point, he said unhurriedly: "This is the last question, if you tell the truth, Tao Jun will be free, and he will be sent back to the house with a gift, and there is no lie." ”

Just as Zhang Fang was worried when Yelang was shocked, gunpowder research is his seven inches, and once it is handled by someone with a heart, the consequences will be unimaginable. Tao Sheng also understands this. If most of the information about Star Picking City revealed earlier is still semi-public information, and the problem is not too serious, then once the secret of the other village is revealed, the crime of betraying the owner will be confirmed, and it will not be able to be removed.

How should Tao Sheng choose?
