After a conversation with Chu Zizi, Xu Qing was so excited that he couldn't sleep, and decided to interrogate the prisoners at night - a few days ago, Zhao Mengchen captured two black-clothed masked men who assassinated the princess, and interrogated them by Nie Hu and Jia Quan when the Flying Cavalry was not present, and after a few days of interrogation, the two assassins refused to recruit the arch - it was getting closer and closer to Chang'an, and it was inconvenient to walk on the road with the two prisoners, so it was necessary to avoid the city to prevent the officers and soldiers guarding the city from checking it, but when they arrived in Chang'an, the officers and soldiers could not bypass the pass of checking the passing pedestrians at the city gate, Therefore, Xu Qing decided to interrogate the results as soon as possible, and there must be an end to whether to kill or release these two assassins.

These two assassins are hard-nosed, Xu Qing, Zhao Mengchen, and Zhao Tuozhi are not experts in torture, and they are not willing to torture prisoners, so they handed over this errand to Nie Hu and Jia Quan, they are not experts in torture, but they also know a little, because many years ago, Nie Hu was imprisoned by the imperial court when he was engaged in anti-Tang activities, and he was tortured.

Nie Hu couldn't even try it, it seemed that the torture of these two assassins would not work, Xu Qing had learned some knowledge of interrogating prisoners, and knew that there was a method called pressurized interrogation, so he would learn and use it now.

Xu Qing asked Zhao Tuozhi to be dressed in black and masked, pretending to be the accomplices of the two captured assassins, clicking on the holes of the two guards at the door, finding the key to open the door from the guards, and opening the door to enter the guest room of the town inn where the two assassins were held.

The two Assassins thought that their accomplices had come to their rescue, and while they were happy, Zhao Tuozhi stabbed one of the Assassins with his sword. The two Assassins learned that their accomplices had not come to save them, but that they had come to kill them because they could not take them safely.

At the critical moment, Nie Hu rushed to the door and shouted, "Stop-" and attacked Zhao Tuozhi's back with his sword. Zhao Tuozhi's pretended assassin accomplices didn't care about killing people, so they had to turn around and save themselves.

A group of subordinates who followed Nie Hu rushed over, and Zhao Tuozhi's assassin accomplices saw that there were more and more enemies, and they couldn't wait for them to surround themselves, if they surrounded him, they couldn't escape, so they grabbed the two assassins and still went to Nie Hu. Nie Hu stretched out his hand to catch the two assassins, and at this moment, Zhao Tuozhi had already fled.

Nie Hu reported the situation to Xu Qing, who urgently interrogated the two assassins at night.

At the beginning, Xu Qing asked some regular questions, "What kind of organization are you from?" "Who's the boss?" "Why did you assassinate two princesses who had no quarrel with the world?" "Were you commanded?" "Who's behind you?"

Neither Assassin replied.

Xu Qing said: "You are loyal to your organization and leader, but how do your organization and leader treat you? Kill somebody to do away with a witness! Think about it, do you work for your organization and your leaders? ”

The two Assassins immediately became sad and wrote it on their faces.

Xu Qing said with an indifferent attitude: "It's inconvenient for me to take you on the road, I don't dare to enter the city, this is not a way, I don't want to play with you anymore, you can give me a clear answer, either surrender to me and answer my questions truthfully, or wait to be killed by my men and feed the dogs." Do you want to know if it's worth it to be loyal to your organization and your leaders? I'll count from one to ten, and count to ten, and if you still don't answer my question, you can report to the underworld. One-two-three-" Xu Qing deliberately dragged out his voice to give them a little time to think.

"I'll do it!" A thinner Assassin shouted.

Xu Qing perked up and said, "Okay, now let me ask questions, and you can answer whatever I ask." What's the name of your organization? ”

The thinner assassin replied, "It's called the Valley of Ruthless." ”

Xu Qing said: "Where is the Ruthless Valley?" Do what? ”

"Ruthless Valley is just a title, a killer organization, and there is no fixed general altar or fixed branch altar."

"What's the name of the leader of the Valley of Ruthlesss?"

"The leader is called Ruthless Gongzi, we generally call him Gongzi, and the gold lord calls him Wu Gongzi, surnamed Wu Wu."

"What's his real name?"

"I don't know what his real name is."

"What does he look like? How old is it? Is it male or female? ”

"He looks ordinary, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, neither handsome nor ugly, neither black nor white; The age is not visible, about thirty or forty years old, or fifty years old, just because of the deep internal strength and the ability to maintain the appearance; He is male. ”

"How many killers are there in the Valley of Ruthlessness?"

"When it was first established, there were only a few dozen people, and it quickly expanded to thousands of people in just a few months."

Xu Qing frowned and said, "What? This killer organization is expanding so fast? When was it founded. ”

"It's only been three months since it was founded."

Xu Qing thought that the Jin Manlou killer organization was disbanded by himself for a few months, could it be that he gave severance pay, and those killers spent money that ordinary people couldn't spend for ten years so quickly, and returned to their old jobs? Asked, "What does Ruthless Valley have to do with the Jinmanlou Killer Organization that was destroyed only a few months ago?" ”

"More than half of the members of the Ruthless Valley Killer Organization are from the Jinmanlou Killer Organization, and in my opinion, the leader of the Ruthless Valley is either a high-level Jinmanlou or a first-class hero, spending a lot of money to reconvene the Jinmanlou Killer who has disappeared."

"Very well, this information you provided is important, and I will look into the matter thoroughly." Xu Qing praised, "I will ask you a few more questions, and I will answer them well, I will have a reward, and the bounty will be enough for you to live the rest of your life." ”

"Thank you, Gongzi."

"Do you know my surname is Xu?"

"Yes, my subordinates used to be members of the Jinmanlou Killer Organization," the thinner assassin said embarrassedly, "Xu Gongzi is benevolent and righteous, his subordinates took Xu Gongzi's huge severance pay, and he became obsessed with a Qinglou top brand, and he quickly spent all his money, and I heard from my former brother that Ruthless Valley was recruiting killers with a lot of money, so I returned to my old business and joined the Ruthless Valley Killer Organization." ”

Water can carry boats, but also can cover the state, swords can kill, can also save people, there are always two sides to one thing, the elite unit of the Western Han Dynasty "Han Army Forbidden Army" eight battalions have "assassin" battalions, to carry out the task of assassinating enemy generals. Xu Qing's army lacked such talents who could perform the task of beheading enemy generals.

Xu Qing said: "I see. I ask you, why did you assassinate the princess of King Yan, who had no quarrel with the world? ”

Thinner Assassin: "I was only a small role in the Valley of Ruthlessness, I acted on orders, and I don't know why I killed two princesses and ten palace maids to marry. ”

Xu Qing said: "Then do you know who is the owner of the murderer?" ”

The thinner assassin shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Seeing that he could no longer ask anything from the thinner assassin, Xu Qing interrogated the taller assassin.

Xu Qing asked, "Were you also a Jinmanlou killer before?" ”

The taller assassin saw that his accomplice had confessed, and it didn't matter to Xu Qing whether he recruited or not, and if he did, he might be able to save his life, but it was better to recruit him, and replied, "Yes." ”

Xu Qing asked, "Who is the gold lord who hired you to be the princess of the Yan King?" ”

The taller assassin had a certain position in the Valley of Ruthlesss, and replied, "I have seen that gold master, but he refuses to reveal his name and identity, we have a rule, as long as we receive money, we will do things for guests, regardless of the identity of the guests." ”

Xu Qing asked, "What are the physical characteristics of that gold master?" ”

The taller assassin replied, "Yes, he is not tall, and his voice is high-pitched and thin, sissy. ”

Xu Qing said: "Eunuch! After a pause, he continued: "Have you ever seen a eunuch, can you recognize him as a eunuch?" ”

"I haven't seen a eunuch, I don't recognize him as a eunuch. But when you say that, it's really a bit like that. ”

"Alright, this is the end of the interrogation. You have provided useful information, and each of you will receive ten taels of gold and leave, and then go to the end of the world. ”

"Thank you Gongzi Xu, Gongzi Xu's great kindness, our brothers will never forget." The two Assassins thanked each other, took the money, and left.

Xu Qing thought about it again and again, these two assassins are not good, they can betray their organization and leader today, if Xu Qing recruits them as subordinates and uses them to create the assassin battalion, in the future, they will be captured by others, I am afraid that they will also betray Xu Qing, so Xu Qing finally decided not to want them, and the members of the assassin battalion will be selected from his existing subordinates in the future.
