Chapter 742: Three-way layout
Lan Ting came into contact with a pair of cruel eyes.
There is no compromise or fear in these eyes, revealing clearly fortitude and even madness, and the will to die in the cauldron and the determination to die, such people are often called dead soldiers in the Central Plains, and they have an almost ruthless loyalty to their beliefs, but it is inevitable that the mediation and wit are insufficient, and in fact, those who are both wise and brave will often not be easily abandoned by the lord and become dead.
Lan Ting pretended not to find anything.
He knew that such a dead soldier would definitely understand Chinese regardless of whether he was really from Dongying or not, but Dong Guanjian also said that this widow pretended to be not proficient in Chinese, as if he could only communicate simply, and Lan Ting didn't bother to go around the bend with this widow, so he simply used Japanese dialect to communicate with him.
He paced to a row of torture instruments: "This is the hook and the lute, but this is not the other lute, it can make the flesh and blood on your pipa bones, but the executioner is measured, and will not let you lose your breath, and then use the hook and intestine, and you can make your stomach rot and intestines, and the executioner will tie one end of the intestine to the body of the livestock, and whip the animal forward, so that your intestines will come out of the abdomen, and the intestines of the human belly will come out, and you will not be exhausted for three or five days." ”
Lan Ting's tone was as usual, as if there was no threat, and then he paced in front of a torture instrument again: "This is called a bath bed, and the person who matches it is called an iron comb, and when you are executed, you are forced to lie down on the bath bed, first pour boiling water on your body, and then use the iron comb to 'comb' your flesh and blood."
This torture device is commonly known as nail needles, that is, you will be subjected to the next stage, a set of nail needles of different lengths and thicknesses, a total of nine, respectively nailed into your body, but after the punishment is still not lightened, even if you are iron-clad, ask yourself that you may endure so many tortures? It is better to confess earlier, although you will be able to avoid these many punishments, even though you will wait for the Japanese to kill and injure our people, and you will not escape the death penalty. ”
In just two days, this widow has already experienced the severity of the torture in the edict, and when he can't survive and can't die, he has seen that the mind of these many torture tools has become somewhat frightened, and now listening to Lan Ting's explanation, he depicts the torture scene for him, as if the will is broken and he only wants to die quickly, it seems as a matter of course.
"I really don't know the content of the secret letter, I am on the order of my name to contact Gu Jiachen, the mission is just to deliver a letter, Gu Jiachen is now in a manor near the left of Hongluo Temple on the outskirts of Huairou County, this is what I know."
He spoke Chinese this time, so he didn't need Lan Tingduo to translate, and the prince and Gong Wang could understand it.
The edict is not a place to stay for a long time, and of course the three of them are reluctant to discuss in Beizhen Fusi, until they returned to Ciqing Palace, Gong Wang couldn't wait to compliment: "I really didn't expect Zhao Duyu to speak Dongying, and he really deserves to be a model in my mind." ”
This sycophant made the prince directly purse the corners of his lips, and glanced at Gong Wang: "Do you know why I and Ji Bu let you be responsible for interrogating that widow today?" It's better for you to escape from the battle, this son will have a leisurely beard and shoot the horse? ”
It turned out that Gong Wang didn't know the details of Zheng Xiu and Shen Changying's conspiracy when they were in the Wei State Mansion, although because he was tempted to learn of the news from the autumn air, he was already sure that Shen Changying was by no means as desireless as he appeared, and of course he was also wondering what kind of way this suddenly appeared would, he first raised the suspicions, and Lan Ting did plan to hone his little supporter, so that he could cultivate one more powerful minister for the prosperous world in the future, so he suggested that Gong Wang should simply let him interrogate the Japanese people. Let's see if he can sort out the whole conspiracy of Zheng Xiu and Shin Changying through interrogation.
For their own retreat
Shrinking, Gong Wang was also a little surprised, stretched out his hand and rubbed his nose before saying: "Although I don't understand Dongying's words, but looking at Zhao Duyu's demeanor, I probably guessed that he used the purpose of those torture tools to completely destroy the minds of prisoners, I really don't have that great ability, I saw that those torture tools showed their cowardice first, and I really don't know about the torture in the prison."
However, I did leave an opinion that the prisoner was fierce and fierce at first, and he was tortured in prison and was still so tough, how can he compare to ordinary people like me? was intimidated by Zhao Duyu in a few words, this is very suspicious, so what he confided that Gu Gong is a retainer of Dongying's name should not be credible, but the hiding place is probably true, so I guess that since Wei Guogong knows that this case has been handed over to the Jinyi Guard, the plan to lure His Royal Highness into an ambush with Gu Gong as bait has little effect, at least the King of Linzi will not be able to succeed easily, so he sent this widow to the door, in order to lure His Royal Highness to the danger in person, as long as His Royal Highness rushes to Huairou, waiting there is probably the dead soldier of the Wei State Mansion. ”
Regarding Gong Wang's analysis, Lan Ting agreed.
"Let His Royal Highness and I believe that Yuezhang is indeed ordered by Dongying, we will not dare to call Jinyiwei to rush to Huairou to rescue Yuezhang, and since His Royal Highness has suspected that the King of Linzi is plotting to kill the prince, how can he not let the King of Linzi go this time, otherwise if the emperor orders the King of Linzi to go to the domain, and gives the King of Linzi the right to control the vassal guard and protect himself, it will be a hidden danger for the monarch in the future. Therefore, Zheng Xiu is sure that we will still plan and lead the king of Linzi to do it, and the king of Linzi will be dealt with by the Jinyi guard, His Royal Highness thinks that the king of Linzi will no longer set up an ambush in Huairou, so His Royal Highness can only take a few personal guards to go around to Huairou to rescue his father-in-law, so that Zheng Xiu will be in the trap under Huairou, and after Zheng Xiu succeeds, he can completely trap the king of Linzi. ”
Gong Wanglian bowed his head: "If His Royal Highness does not go to danger, the people and horses of the King of Linzi will not move, in order to lure the King of Linzi, His Royal Highness is sure that His Royal Highness will lead the guards out of the city." ”
Of course, there is another important reason why the prince insisted on rescuing Gu Gong in person, although Gong Wang knew it, but in front of Lan Ting, of course it was inconvenient for him to say it at this time.
In the final analysis, the basis of Wei Guogong's plan is to gain insight into the prince's mentality - the emotion of obsessiveness for spring return.
However, Gong Wang didn't know how to lay it out, so that he could save Gu Gong from danger first, and at the same time, he could still lure the king of Linzi to commit the great crime of murdering the prince, and completely cut off this hidden danger, and it wasn't until Lan Ting told his plan that Gong Wang really felt that his family model was worthy of being a clever plan, and his reverence was even more like the water of the river and the sea.
Within a few days, the King of Linzi finally revealed Gu Jicang's hiding place, naturally not in Huairou, the location was on the bank of Gushui on the outskirts of Beijing, between the capital and Miyun.
The letter is Gu Jicang's handwritten letter, sent to Chungui through the hand of the prince, and she will have a secret meeting on the bank of Gushui three days later, Chungui believes that it is indeed from her father's handwriting, although the flesh and blood have been separated for many years, but she is still quite familiar with her father's handwriting.
However, there is a secret in Gu's father's letter, which is enough to deceive the eyes and ears of the Linzi Wang Party, but such a "game" has been tried many times between father and daughter many years ago, so naturally it can't be hidden from the eyes of Chungui.
Danger, don't go.
Even Lan Ting saw through such mysteries at a glance.
"Before the time returned, my father should have reminded me in the letter that I couldn't fall for it, but at that time, I ......"
I'm afraid she won't be able to ignore it no matter what
If his father is safe, he would rather go to danger, as long as he can still see his father again, he will die in one place and be blind.
Chungui didn't know how she found an excuse at that time, going to the bank of Gushui alone was almost a mortal appointment, of course, she didn't expect that the king of Linzi would arrange for the future, and leaked her danger to the prince, and in the end, the prince was ambushed on the side of Gushui.
As early as the day when the Japanese man spoke, Gong Wang had actually temporarily moved out of Ciqing Palace, and he did not live in the capital, and it seemed to be taken for granted that he lived in Zhiqiu's boudoir.
Zhiqiu's boudoir, there are often strange men in and out, Gong Wang only called these people "friends", but never entertained these people to drink, nothing more than still using Zhiqiu's boudoir to live in the tea room, conspiring, Zhiqiu's identity is a "thin horse", naturally knows that the main family does not talk about affairs, she has no reason to ask temptingly, but why does she need to ask?
She can still eavesdrop.
For example, this day.
Quietly go up to the high platform, remove the potted plants, and use the listening tube to eavesdrop/listen to the conversation of the people in the tea room.
"We went to the manor in Huairou and stepped on a number of points, and we didn't ask who lived in the manor, in order to prevent the grass from startling the snake and alarming the Linzi royal party, and we didn't dare to trespass, but what is true is that the manor is very strictly guarded, and I am afraid that no less than twenty or thirty people will watch it, although they are all dressed as ordinary people, according to my observation, they seem to be very skilled, and the confession of the widow is still somewhat credible, I am afraid that Gu Gong is indeed imprisoned in that manor." This is in disguise, the prince's henchmen are saying.
Zhiqiu followed and heard Gong Wangdao: "The Linzi King Party should not know that we have found out where Gu Gong is really detained, so these twenty or thirty people are nothing more than Gu Gong escaping, if they are rescued at this time, they will definitely be able to catch the King of Linzi off guard, but they cannot confirm the evidence of the crime of the Linzi King and the party." And even Zhao Duyu is decided, after the King of Linzi ambushes His Royal Highness, he will inevitably make Dongying take the blame, so before the King of Linzi is completed, Gu Gong's safety should be safe. ”
"Then we really have to wait for King Linzi to make a move before rescuing Gu Gong?"
"Gu Gong is suspected of being a careful work of the Japanese State, and I am afraid that it will not be easily cleared, so the real place where Gu Gong is really imprisoned must not alarm the Jinyi Guard, on that day, when His Royal Highness rescues Gu Gong, Gu Gong needs to be placed separately first, and this matter must be kept confidential."
"But Gong Langjun, this matter does not need His Highness to go to danger in person, why not dissuade Gong Langjun, just His Highness pretended to go to the city to let the King of Linzi believe it."
"If I can persuade His Highness, do I need you to remind me?"
Zhiqiu heard Gong Wang's helpless tone: "His Royal Highness has decided to personally lead the troops in this matter, so as to ensure that the rescue plan is foolproof, and it is indeed important to contact Gu Gong first, because this case is a lifetime, Gu Gong does not know where to go, the King of Linzi must quibble in order to get rid of the crime, I am afraid that the emperor will be suspicious of His Royal Highness, and it will be inconvenient for His Royal Highness to contact Gu Gong again, how can he ask the facts of the case, try to clear up the grievances for Gu Gong and put the King of Linzi to death?" ”
"But the son of a daughter can't sit down," ...... guards are still struggling.
"Rescuing Gu Gong and witnessing the crime of the King of Linzi is a top priority for His Royal Highness, and I really can't persuade His Highness to stay away from the danger, listen well, and now all the situation is developing as we expected, in order to prevent the growth of extraneous branches and startling the snake, our people will withdraw immediately, just wait for the date agreed by the King of Linzi......"
When Zhiqiu heard this, he hurriedly walked away.
