Chapter 116: Sometimes Death Is Relief
More than 100 black shadows jumped towards the entrance of the village, and there was a commotion at the entrance of the village, and it didn't take long for it to fall silent again, and Taojiazhuang fell into silence again.
Liu Wei stood at the window, and after a while, he saw more than a dozen black shadows walking quickly towards Tao Hu's house, and when the black shadows got closer, he saw that it was Zhou Cang who was the leader, and several soldiers behind Zhou Cang were twisting two men he didn't recognize.
"Your Highness!" When he arrived at the door of Tao Hu's house, Zhou Cang shouted to the house: "I have captured two spies, please send them down!" ”
Dian Wei, who was sleeping in the hall, had always been very vigilant, and before Tao Hu and the others had walked outside the house, he had already crawled up, holding a halberd in both hands, and had already put on the frame of the fight and waited in the house.
Hearing Zhou Cang's voice, Dian Wei, who was hiding in the dark, did not move, but turned his head and glanced at the dark left ear room,
Standing by the window, Liu Wei had already seen some of the situation outside, and heard Zhou Cang talking outside the door, Liu Wei turned his head and said to Dian Wei who was standing in the hall: "Let them come in!" ”
Dian Wei answered, first touched the fire fold, lit the white candle, and then pulled the latch of the door and let Zhou Cang into the house.
The dim candlelight brought some light to the room, and the shadows of the people were cast on the walls under the reflection of the candlelight, and as the candlelight danced, the figures also swayed, bringing a bit of gloom to the empty room.
"Your Highness, these two people are sneaking around at the entrance of the village, and they have been captured by us!" Liu Wei came to the hall, Zhou Cang waved behind him, and the four soldiers twisted two people into the room.
"Get on your knees!" Escorting the two men into the house, the two soldiers who followed them gave a low shout and raised their feet and kicked them in the crooked legs.
The two men who were twisted bent their legs, "poof" knelt down, and the four soldiers who twisted them twisted their wrists and pressed them to the ground.
"Who are you waiting for?" With his hands behind his back, Liu Wei looked down at the two people kneeling in front of him, and asked them coldly, "What are you doing here?" ”
The two people kneeling on the ground were both wearing civilian deep clothes, but their deep clothes were not as tattered as the common people's clothes that Liu Wei had seen before, but were seven or eight percent new.
The two of them lowered their heads, twisted by the four soldiers, and after Liu Wei asked, they didn't even say a word.
From the performance of these two people, Liu Wei has seen that they are not ordinary villagers. If it were an ordinary villager, being restrained by officers and soldiers, he would definitely not be so calm.
Looking down at the two of them, Liu Wei's brows were tightly twisted, and seeing that the two of them were just kneeling there with their heads hanging and not speaking, he waved his hand and said to Zhou Cang: "Drag them out of the room, cut the skin with a sword, find some sweets, and rub them on the wound." At this time, I think the ants have ......"
When Liu Wei said these words, the two men who were twisted were shocked, and they both looked up at Liu Wei who was standing in front of them with a cold expression with a frightened face.
"Drag it out!" Zhou Cang waved his hand at the soldiers who were holding the two men and gave them the order to drag the two men out of the city.
Liu Wei put his hands behind his back, walked to the door, and watched several soldiers escort the two men out of the house.
"I say!" As soon as the soldiers escorted the two men out of the city, one of them shouted, "I am a villager from this neighborhood......
The soldiers holding the two men heard the man's shout, stopped what they were doing for the time being, and turned their heads to look at Liu Wei.
"Nonsense!" As soon as the man's words came out, Liu Wei let out a low snort, interrupted him, and said in a cold voice: "Nearby villagers? How many of the villagers can wear such new clothes? How many of the villagers will run to other villages in the middle of the night? ”
After cutting off the man's words, Liu Wei raised his feet and walked in front of the two men, grabbed the wrist of the man who spoke, pulled his hand up, looked at the man's palm, and said with a sneer: "The villagers usually collect firewood, and the palms of the hands are full of calluses from the tiger's mouth and knuckles, and the palms of the two of you do not have calluses in the tiger's mouth, but there are calluses in the palms of the palms!" ”
"This kind of cocoon can only be born if it is assassinated with a dry object for a long time!" With his feet slightly opened, Liu Wei put his hands behind his back, the corners of his eyes twitched a few times, and he said in a cold voice: "You two are obviously born in the military, and you are good at spears, but you have to act as civilians. Tell me who sent you both! ”
Liu Bian's analysis was to the bone, not only was the two men who were pressed on the ground stunned there, but even Zhou Cang and several soldiers who were holding them were also full of reverence, and secretly admired Liu Bian's meticulous observation, and even saw this small flaw clearly.
The two men raised their heads and glared at Liu Wei, and were speechless for a long time.
Their identities have been exposed by Liu Bian, and there is no point in continuing to quibble, at the moment they are just waiting to be killed by Liu Bian, born as soldiers, even if they die, they are not willing to reveal the slightest truth about the mission.
"You two are very nice and have a lot of backbone!" Looking down at the two of them, Liu Wei said in a cold tone: "I like tough guys!" No, the reason why tough guys are tough is because there is not enough fear! If you don't tell the truth, I'm afraid you two will have to suffer a lot today! ”
"Do it!" The attitude of the two men was still very tough, Liu Wei frowned, and coldly gave Zhou Cang an order to do it.
The two soldiers dragged a man aside, and the other two soldiers twisted the man who was still kneeling in front of Liu Wei, and after they tightened the man, a soldier standing behind Zhou Cang drew his long sword and walked towards the man.
"If you want to kill, you will kill! Just cut off Lao Tzu's head, if Lao Tzu frowns, he is not a man! Twisted by the two soldiers, looking at the long sword in the hands of the soldiers who came over and shining silver in the night, the man who was kneeling in front of Liu Wei shouted loudly: "What kind of hero is the torturer!" ”
"Humph!" A strange smile hung on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth, and he snorted coldly twice and said to the man: "I'm not playing Green Forest Juyi with you, what kind of hero do you want to be?" I know that you are not afraid of death, all I want is to tell the truth from your mouths, otherwise I will torture you in some unexpected ways, so that your life is worse than death! ”
"Do it!" After saying to the man, Liu Wei turned his face cold and gave the order to the soldier with the long sword to move.
The soldier answered, and crouched in front of the twisted man with his sword, the tip of which slowly pressed towards the soldier's chest.
"Dig a pit, bury another person, and leave his head in the ground!" Seeing that the soldier handed the long sword to the chest of the man in front of him, Liu Wei instructed Zhou Cang again: "I heard that the body is oppressed by the soil, and the blood will gather in the brain, squeezing the head, I don't know if there is such a thing, but today I want to open my eyes!" ”
"No!" Zhou Cang responded, waved his hand at the few soldiers behind him and said, "Do it!" ”
The soldiers hurriedly ran to the other man who was kneeling on the ground, and since they had no tools to dig the pit, they could only dig up the dirt with their long swords.
The man who was kneeling in front of Liu Wei watched as a bright long sword slowly passed towards his chest, and cold sweat broke out on his nervous forehead.
His eyes widened in horror, and he didn't even take his eyes off the sword that was handed to his chest for a moment.
The tip of the sword pressed against his skin, and the coldness of iron made him shiver with excitement.
The sharp blade gently cut a small hole in the skin of his chest, but it didn't go deep, only after a trace of blood flowed from his wound, it slowly moved downward.
As the sword cut tiny cuts in the man's skin, the man howled bitterly, trying to break free from the two soldiers who were twisting him, and pressed his chest against the tip of the sword.
"It's not that easy to die!" Liu Wei lowered his head, squinted at the man, sneered and said, "If you don't tell the truth, it's even more uncomfortable behind!" ”
Having said this, he turned his head, cast his eyes on the dark entrance of the village, and sighed lightly as if he was a little compassionate: "Sometimes, death is really a relief for people, especially when they are suffering from pain and want to die but can't!" ”
The man whose skin was cut was obviously also a tough guy, he twisted his body a few times, and when he saw that he couldn't break free, he glared at Liu Wei, his voice was full of pain, and he roared and said: "Even if you turn into a ghost, you will never be spared!" ”
"I say I say!" At the moment when the man's words fell, he was kneeling not far away, seeing the blood of his companions being cut, and the pit dug by the soldiers in front of him deepened a little bit, and shouted in a trembling voice: "We are under the command of Xiangguo, because a few days ago, a team of soldiers and horses came here to arrest people, and after two or three days, half of them did not go back. ”
"Shut up!" The man who knelt in front of Liu Wei heard his companion's confession, shouted loudly, and said angrily to his companion: "We are all Xiliang men, how can we bow our heads to the thief......"
"Poof!" Before the man's words fell, Liu Wei pulled out his long sword, and the long sword slashed past the soldier who was squatting in front of the man, cutting out a sword shadow from the bottom up, and picked it up with great agility.
The jawbone was split by the long sword, the man's jaw was suddenly split in half, the head cut by the blade was splattered with blood, and the soldier squatting in front of him was sprayed with red blood.
"He's useless, you say!" Holding a bloody long sword, Liu Wei pointed at another man kneeling not far away with a bloody long sword and said, "As long as you tell the truth, you won't die so ugly!" ”
The man who had dug a shallow soil pit in front of him was twisted by two soldiers, trembling unconsciously, looking at Liu Wei pitifully, and said with a trembling voice: "Back to the general, the two of us are soldiers under Niu Fu, and the army is stationed twenty miles away from the west, and the army will come here early tomorrow morning......"
