Chapter Twenty-Seven: It's Your Turn
After half a night's hard work by the "torture enthusiasts", the two Qing army spies finally confessed their "criminal facts".
The other group of soldiers and horses of the reconnaissance team did not go to Fan County, but waited in the forest west of Shen County to wait for the signal.
The soldiers and horses led by He Luohui were responsible for creating panic on the periphery, and after seeing the signal, they followed them in two directions to attack Shen County.
Hearing this, Chu Suifeng's brows furrowed, and he endured a strong sense of sleepiness and analyzed it carefully, and felt more and more that what these people said was all lies.
He picked up the cold tea bowl to drink it but found it empty, and when he was about to call the official who was in charge of pouring the tea, he found that the other party was asleep in the corner by the window.
So I got up and went to the stove, picked up the dark kettle, poured half a bowl, and turned back to the table to think.
There is an inconsistency between what He Luo would say before and what these two people say now, there is obviously a problem in it, how could these two criminals be caught so easily?
Could it be to protect someone?
If you contact He Luohui again, there will be a problem with this escort leader, and if you don't do good guard work, you have nothing to do when you come out to be a reconnaissance team!
Could it be ......
Syllable!
Chu Suifeng's bloodshot eyes brightened for a while, and he immediately stood up.
"Yi Bangcai, immediately order martial law in the whole city, check all suspicious people, etc.! Don't let that guy run! ”
This voice yelled at the half-asleep subordinates below to cover their heads, and wiped their eyes to see what was going on.
Ding Keze, who was leaning against the gate, got up and slammed his head into the dark doorpost, which provoked Xie Qian, who had just opened his eyes, to cover his mouth and snicker for a while.
Liu Shaowu went back to sleep when he heard half of it, he was a horse bandit who couldn't wait for Chu Suifeng, an official uncle who didn't sleep in the middle of the night.
It's okay to ask for food, there's no need to stay up all night and put half your life into it.
Yi Bang was able to barely survive listening to the interrogation, although the two eyelids were fighting now, but he knew that this kind of thing was very crucial, and if it was not handled properly, it was very likely that their heads would be picked on the city gate building early tomorrow morning.
Despite his strong dissatisfaction in his heart, he still stood up and gave up.
"Qianhu, the soldiers are already extremely tired. Do you think this will work? Let the soldiers who participated in the cross-examination tonight have a day off tomorrow,"
Chu Suifeng nodded in agreement, everyone had been busy all day with high intensity, and they were still tossing like this in the middle of the night, and no one could stand it.
But there are exceptions!
Look at those "torture lovers", not only are they in good spirits, but they also keep jumping over and stretching their muscles, it's a pity that such people are not soldiers.
He Luohui and the two prisoners were also tossed, and they all closed their eyes and curled up on the cold and hard ground, and one of them actually snored slightly.
Chu Suifeng saw it, waved his hand, and said slowly.
"Hold the prisoners together, and everyone rest."
If the "group of criminals" in the hall were amnesty, they suddenly jumped up violently, and the spirit of the originally closed eyes was refreshed, and the original snoring sleepiness was gone, and they actually hugged and squeezed out.
It was funny to see Chu Suifeng for a while, and it seemed that no one would be willing to accompany him to try the case in the future.
When the people were gone, he yawned a few times, leaned on the blue lacquer backrest and closed his eyes in thought.
That person must not be simple, otherwise how could He Luo personally protect him?
Princes and nobles?
No.
Is it worth getting into a broken Shen County?
But He Luohui is not a simple banner man, he can be guarded......
Although this person is not very important, he must have a special status, and if he is held, it will be greatly beneficial to his future actions.
Chu Suifeng opened his eyes when he thought of this, saw that the lights in the room were still bright, picked up the white porcelain tea bowl in front of him and drank it all, and then walked out of the house with his hands behind his back.
The courtyard was dark and quiet, and the night wind was very cold and blew on his body, and Chu couldn't help but sneeze twice.
Seeing this, the soldier standing guard next to him hurriedly entered the house and took out a black fox fur for him, Chu Suifeng shrank and shrank to cover it, and when he looked up, he saw a bright moon hanging high and far in the sky.
The night sky seemed to have been washed, without a trace of clouds, and it was unusually beautiful in the light of the moon.
Chu looked at the sky with the wind for a while, but he was worried about the person who was going to be searched.
This man is bold! It was mixed into the heavily guarded Xin County.
He didn't know if the other party had escaped, and those two spies must have been He Luo's plan to break away from the golden cicada used by the other party......
"It's your turn." Chu Suifeng looked at the light and fire outside the ya, and smiled faintly.
******
At this time, in a dark house in Nancheng, a man dressed as a servant and unable to see clearly was lying on the crack in the door of the outhouse and looking out.
I saw that his dark pupils reflected brighter and brighter firelight, constantly flickering, slowly reflecting the man's entire cheek.
With a square-shaped face, thin eyes, a high nose bridge, an ingot-mouth, a brown melon-skin hat, and a black coarse cotton jacket, he looks extremely energetic.
In the distance, the noisy shouting and scolding came from far and near, and dozens of Ming soldiers, under the leadership of the military academy, were carrying torches to inspect the houses one by one.
Knock on the door first and shout, open the door one by one to be checked, and those who don't open the door directly kick open with their feet, holding the cold and shining single knife and rushing in.
The man by the door did not hesitate any longer, hurriedly moved the table, chair and bookcase from the house to hold the door against it, and then hurried into the inner room.
"Gege ......"
Syllable!
Smack!
A series of crisp slaps slapped the man on the cheek one after another, but the man didn't dare to dodge the slap and crossed his hands to persuade him.
"Young Master, Zhang Hei, Zhang Hei, Zhu Guozhu, they have already been arrested for you. Stop being willful! I can't stay here any longer, and the officers and soldiers are going from house to house. You have to go now! ”
Before he finished speaking, he was pressed to his chest with a sharp dagger.
The man was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't dare to move, and his hands were stretched out.
"Erlun Butai, I warn you, next time you make a mistake, I will kill you." In the darkness, a string of silver bells rang out after the sound of the rope.
Erlun Butai stabbed and tore off his shirt to reveal his strong chest, and said irritably.
"Young master, if you don't leave, it'll be too late!"
Hee-hee-hee.
There was silence in the darkness for a while, followed by a string of silver bells of laughter.
"The guy who came here was interesting and funny. Let's go, go back and tell my brother and uncle not to fight Shen County. ”
was so anxious that Erlun Butai scratched his head with his hand, went out of the back room and hurriedly turned in, glanced at the other party and went out.
After repeating it a few times, he was so angry that he slammed his fist on the edge of the kang, and whispered emotionally.
"Gosichuka! How can I forsake you? If I can take out my heart and exchange it for your sincerity to me, you can poke it in! ”
With that, he straightened his chest forward, and the red blood flowed down the blade of the dagger.
The dagger retracted like an electric shock, and the voice inside cried out impatiently.
"Erlun Butai, I don't like you. Get lost! Get out! Harass me again, and I'll let my brother kill you." ”
Erlun Butai was so annoyed that he tore off his shirt, turned around and walked out of the back room, and then looked back at it with some reluctance, sighed heavily, picked up a single knife and went out through the back door.
After a while, a series of soldiers rang out on the street, and then the Ming army was heard shouting to catch the spies, and then the stars went into the distance.
The inner room was silent for a while, and a woman's soft sigh was heard.
