In the evening, Luo Dan came to Deng Shifeng's shack with the sorted out confession, with the help of the reflected light of the modified table lamp, Deng Shifeng obviously saw that Luo Dan had such a trace of unhappiness on his face, but he didn't know whether this unhappiness was the unhappiness of losing when playing with the cannon in the evening, or the displeasure of having three outsiders in the artillery, or the deliberate face of an outsider in the shack......

Deng Shifeng didn't see Luo Dan's displeasure, he took the confessions of those peepers and flipped through them, and let Luo Dan and the other person stand aside; There are some things that can't be explained directly, and when Luo Dan grows up a little more in a few years, he may understand the mystery of this.

The confession record is a little sloppy, and some of the words because the recorder can't write, so he takes the borrowed words with a circle to specifically note, Deng Shifeng looked at it, although he needed to guess and think, but fortunately, the writing was clear and the borrowing was accurate, so that he would not be wrong and incomprehensible.

There are many things that come out of the interrogation, in addition to the identity of these people, the forces to which they belong, and the strength of these forces, from the number of people to the weapons and equipment, everything that can be asked, in addition, there are some strange questions about the buildings in the area where the other party lives, the population and the resource situation, and the intersection confessions of more than a dozen captives are stacked together, and it is easy to distinguish which people have told the truth and which people have told lies.

Deng Shifeng asked for these confessions for a purpose, for the vast majority of the villagers in the mountain village, including himself, for the outside world is basically blind and ignorant, everyone can understand the outside world, except for Qin Er, Lao Sun Tou, who have been to the market near the old village to describe, the rest is Huang Shicheng and the three guards. However, Huang Shicheng was young and knew little or no about many things, and the captain of the guard that Huang Zhangshi relied on, Lao Ma, became the main person of Deng Shifeng's information source during this time, that is, the other person standing in the shack.

Lao Ma's real name is Ma Liunan, in his early thirties, but because he has been doing business with the horse team all the year round since he was a child, Feng Shui said that the sun makes his appearance appear older than Huang Zhangshi, plus he has been running for a long time and knows the way and people, so everyone was jokingly called Lao Ma at first, and finally it became a kind of honorific title, even Huang Zhangshi called him ten years younger than him and had an extraordinary relationship. Born in the south of Liuzhou City, Lao Ma became an orphan not long after he was born and was adopted by Huang Zhangshi's father, and grew up with Huang Zhangshi's eldest brother's buttocks, in a sense, Lao Ma is Huang Zhangshi's brother who has no blood relationship, Lao Ma can betray everyone but will not betray the Huang family, Huang Zhangshi's father is also a smart person, if something happens, Lao Ma is the last and most reliable person of Huang Zhangshi's generation of only seedlings. Lao Ma also knows how to repay his kindness, and his daughter-in-law has not been pregnant for a long time, so Lao Ma regards the eldest brother's son Huang Shicheng as his own, and it is precisely because of this that Huang Zhangshi sent Lao Ma, his most trusted person, to the mountain village to protect his youngest son.

According to this relationship, Lao Ma is unlikely to accept Deng Shifeng's orders, and the other two only listen to their own orders, so Deng Shifeng also understands this, and directly assigned the three of them to Huang Shicheng's subordinates as artillerymen, it's okay if you don't listen to me, but you will listen to Huang Shicheng's orders, I just need to get Huang Shicheng's loyalty to me...... You're still listening to my orders in disguise!! Lao Ma originally had a very big opinion about Deng Shifeng taking Huang Shicheng to play with artillery and bombing such a dangerous thing, but after seeing Huang Shicheng's spirit of forgetting to sleep and eating and specializing in artillery, he also knew that his persuasion was hopeless, and at this time, Deng Shifeng was very good at picking time to talk to him...... Since Huang Shicheng likes to play with guns so much, why can't we let him play a famous hall and play a career! Use a cannon to blast out a fame and fortune!!

Hearing this old horse's eyes look at Deng Shifeng is a little different, this is what ambitious people will say, there are many people who go south and north, and the current crisis in the mountain village is naturally saved by the old horse, but just like doing business, the risk is proportional to the benefit, and the greater the risk, the greater the benefit! And thinking about Deng Shifeng's words later, Lao Ma finally acquiesced to Huang Shicheng's play with cannons. Many years later, after Lao Ma drank too much at a rare celebration banquet, he confided Deng Shifeng's words at that time:

"The mountain village is not too peaceful, Guangxi is not too peaceful, the provinces are not too peaceful, and the north is even less peaceful, who knows which day the world will be all chaotic, from ancient times to the present, the world will be divided for a long time; When the time comes, whether it is to defend the country and protect the family, drive out the Tartars, or change the dynasty and change the founding minister, as long as there are guns and cannons, Dute Niangdi can blast out a fame and fortune ......"

Lao Ma is not stupid, he naturally understands the meaning and way out of Deng Shifeng's words, whether it is Deng Shifeng pulling the banner himself, or joining the court to drive out the Tartars, or even officialdom to protect himself, having guns and cannons can not only seek self-protection in troubled times, but also make a name for himself; It is precisely because of this that Lao Ma has no reason to reject this vision and life plan, whether it is from his own consideration or from his nephew's consideration. And because he also saw Deng Shifeng's personal charm that made his little nephew Huang Shi sincerely and willingly obey, Lao Ma did not refuse Deng Shifeng's disguised wooing, as long as Deng Shifeng did not harm the Huang family's father and son, then he would help Deng Shifeng!

After getting rid of Lao Ma and his subordinates, Deng Shifeng's biggest demand for Lao Ma at present is that he needs his many years of experience as a walking dealer in Guangxi to establish a relatively complete outside world for himself. In these ten days of contact, Deng Shifeng got a lot of information about the towns, villages and cities in the outside world from Lao Ma, but these are only information sources based on the other party's story, and he can only gradually piece together and build the framework of the entire external world like 3D modeling.

"Brother Ma, you can take a look at these articles to see if what they tell is true."

From the confessions provided by all the captured spies, Deng Shifeng obtained information about these forces that were "interested" in him, some of which had been confirmed to be true through cross-confessions, but some of which were still different from each other.

For Deng Shifeng to command himself like his own people, Lao Ma smiled a little bitterly, and the other party really pinched his own veins and greeted him very directly, and there was also a kind of self-acquaintance who was in a hurry to pull the relationship and climb the friendship in it, and the word "brother" in the title proved the meaning of the other party. However, Lao Ma is still very useful for Deng Shifeng's climbing, and he has been here for half a month, and he also understands that it is a rare honor to be able to call this person who is called a great immortal by the villagers a "brother" in his mouth.

"The ...... of the Mo family in Zhongdu Supply...... Word...... It's basically true, but I only passed by the Li family in the north five years ago, and I couldn't ...... it for too long. Guarantee. The fat man Zhao in Liucheng is a miscellaneous man, and he relies on the pit to deceive and deceive the door every day, and the two picky traders are estimated to have suffered a lot. That Boss Liu is another trading house in Liuzhou City, and he has been fighting openly and secretly with us, he ...... It makes sense to pop up; As for the others, this one is either a lie or just a guy who just walked in and didn't know anything......"

Even if he is very helpless to Deng Shifeng, but these people and the forces behind him are faintly unfavorable to the mountain village, and the unfavorable to the mountain village is also unfavorable to his little nephew, and it is also the disadvantage of these forces to the cause of his brother and brother, Lao Ma also knows that the stakes are not much to hide, and he has a low level of education He read the doubts in these confessions with the help of Deng Shifeng, and gave his own opinions with his own experience and judgment. However, in terms of communication, Lao Ma is not as neat as his nephew, after all, Lao Ma has not had much contact with Deng Shifeng now, and he has not learned many new things from other channels, especially some of the words brought by Deng Shifeng, Lao Ma is still very rusty to use.

"En......" Deng Shifeng marked the place pointed out by Lao Ma with a pencil, marked the name of the person who provided the suspicious confession, and turned his head to Lao Ma with a sly smile and said: "Brother Ma, how about we cooperate tonight?" ”

"Cooperation?!" Lao Ma was a little surprised by Deng Shifeng's proposal.

"Yes, cooperation, Luo Dan and I will be the chief judge, you will judge the truth and falsehood on the side, I will have an overnight trial tonight, not only to determine whether what these guys said is true or false, but also to add new issues that have not been mentioned in the confession......"

"Uh...... Is this necessary? You are very capable...... "The old horse was a little unsure whether the great immortal in front of him was testing him.

"Hehe, of course it's necessary, it's all said in the book of war, only by knowing oneself and knowing the other can one not be defeated in a hundred battles, if you don't figure out the details of these eight lambs, the next foreign strike plan on my side will not be easy to carry out......"

Looking at the somewhat hesitant old horse, Deng Shifeng naturally knew very well what the other party was thinking, and gently patted the other party's shoulder, Deng Shifeng persuaded him like a family member:

"Cooperation means learning from each other's strengths and complementing each other's weaknesses, using the advantages of both parties or even multiple parties to give full play to a certain thing, and minimize the shortcomings. Brother Ma, you are an old expert in walking the rivers and lakes, and you will naturally be more familiar with the Taos in it than I do......"

Deng Shifeng's explanation is reasonable, Lao Ma not only refused without any reason, but also knew that this was the other party providing a platform for himself and pulling himself with ulterior motives to attract hatred...... Lao Ma didn't want to do this kind of thing in his heart, but he knew that if he didn't submit a letter of nomination to the other party...... Your own little nephew will also be less trusted......

There was no other way, Lao Ma had to take Deng Shifeng and Luo Dan, flashlight, and came to the mine, ready to start a more professional and specialized interrogation technique class......
