Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Fingers of the Arms (I)
Yaping County is located at the junction of Rongnan and Dayu, which can be described as a golden hub of economy and transportation. It's a pity that since the war between the two places began, the caravans and the people have fled one after another, making the former prosperity become a thing of the past. However, with the arrival of the army led by Liu Yuxin, the general of Fanan, this city, which was gradually depressed, became noisy and lively again.
In addition to the anxious collection of food and salaries for the officers and soldiers of Dayu recently, the elderly county guard also had a tricky task personally ordered by General Liu, which made him feel like he was on pins and needles. When it comes to this task, we have to start with another strange thing that makes the people in the city puzzled!
Before dawn broke that day, the city gate was surrounded by iron horsemen covered with flags, just as he was running to the city tower in disheveled clothes and wanted to surrender, but saw General Liu riding a high-headed horse in a majestic position, and after revealing his identity violently, he carried a woman covered in blood into the city. Although the woman was already bleeding like an injection and dying, there was clearly no hope of survival, but this embarrassing General Liu still forced him to gather all the doctors in the city, and they must save the woman, otherwise they would cut off their heads and go to Huangquan with the woman, so frightened that the doctors were silent and stayed in front of the woman's hospital bed for three days and three nights before they pulled her back from the ghost gate.
However, the development of things was far from as simple as imagined, just when everyone thought that this woman was an extraordinary person of General Liu and would be served and cared for in every detail, she was imprisoned in the prison of the county guard government when she was worrying about her life, and she did not see the light of day all day. As a result, this woman who could make the only son of the Marquis of Zhongyuan go to great lengths to help, but in the end ended up in prison, and became a popular figure in the entire Yaping County Government for a while. Not only did it attract an overwhelming amount of nonsense, but even he, the county keeper who was closest to the truth, also suffered hardships and hardships, and naturally became the target of everyone to find out the truth, and he would be caught and inquired about openly and secretly at the first opportunity, which really forced him to cry and cry tears, you must know that this is the root of the evil that made him almost want to kill himself!
Because another important task given to him by General Liu is to find out the identity of this woman! But from the day she was imprisoned, the mysterious woman began to say nothing. He tried his best to rack his brains, but he couldn't get her to say a word. For days, he was frightened and frightened, and begged and begged, if it weren't for Lang Zhong saying that her physique was too weak, she would no longer be able to withstand any trauma; And the little marquis stubbornly spared her life, he really wanted to be tortured and disemboweled, and see if this woman's heart was really cast for steel, and it could be so tough!
To this day, he can truly understand the sincerity contained in the four words of the ancients' "red face and troubled water", if it were not for the woman who harmed people, how could he live in fear every day? And how can you experience a terrifying daily report? Especially today, it was clear that Liu Xiaohou Ye could see at a glance that Liu Xiaohou was not in a good mood, and he had to grit his teeth and report that the woman was still speechless. This kind of death-making demeanor sent to the door by Baba is really a feat that he never dreamed of before!
"What you want to say is ......" teasing the parrot who was eating in the cage, Liu Yuxin raised his seductive eyes and looked at the county guard who was kneeling on the ground trembling, his tone was calm but with a little admittedly terrifying meaning, "After interrogating her for so long, she still found nothing?" Is this an indication of your incompetence or a sign of your stupidity? ”
"Will ...... The general was angry," he kowtowed in a hurry, and the county guard stammered, "Subordinate...... I really did everything I could, but the woman kept silent, which was really overwhelming. ”
Ben was stroking the fingers of the bird feather suddenly, Liu Yuxin turned around and said with a smile, "Lord County Shou is really an honest man, who said that if you are silent, you can't find out the news?" ”
"This ......" couldn't comprehend the mystery in his words at all, and couldn't help but make the county guard more sincere and afraid, and kowtowed more and more loudly, "The lower official is stupid, can you ask the general to make it clear?" ”
"Okay," took the square handkerchief from the hand of the girl and wiped his fingers, Liu Yuxin's eyes flashed a trace of disdain, "Then I will take some measures to show the county guard today, so as not to be said in the future that I deliberately use a dumb girl to make things difficult for the lord." ”
Without looking at the county guard who was frightened by his words and was eager to clarify, Liu Yuxin ordered the guards outside the door, "Bring me the prisoners who have been detained for the past few days, and by the way, pick a few more ruthless subordinates to come together." He sat alone on the throne and tasted the new tea on the table, and before the tea in his hand was cooled, he heard the guard bow down and reply, and at the same time brought a sick and haggard peace.
"Hear people say you don't speak?" Still drinking fragrant tea lightly, Liu Yuxin said leisurely to An without raising his head, "Do you know that this will make people misunderstand that Ben will maliciously embarrass his colleagues?" But forget it, whoever calls me a lot of people has always had a lot of them, and they won't bother with your woman's family. If you don't like to say it, then I'll show you, it's just as wonderful. ”
However, the gesture of a look made the guards on the side understand, and with a clapping of their hands, they saw several big men walking in with a prisoner who had been beaten to a human shape. The man was covered in blood, but his sloppy eyes suddenly lit up a little when he saw An Youran, and An Youran's face changed, and there seemed to be a lot of unbearability in his big bright eyes.
This detail has not escaped the sharp eyes of Liu Xiaohou Ye, and his thin lips raised a light smile, "Others are only deaf and clear-sighted, but I didn't expect that even being silent can improve my eyesight, it's really hard for you to be able to argue with him!" How about it, how happy are you to see your companions? I just sigh that the other three are too unlucky, and they were sent to Hades by the guards carelessly, and now I have to let you have the fate to meet this person, it's a pity, it's a pity! Touching his forehead as he spoke, Liu Yuxin sighed as if he was choking, "You old people don't have anything to say when you see each other?" If it's the last side...... But this great time was wasted. ”
It turned out that this prisoner was one of the four secret guards who set fire to An Youran that day, although Good Night Youran successfully led away the Dayu soldiers, but due to Liu Yuxin's quick reaction and proper response, they still failed to escape. It was revealed in the inventory of the school grounds on the second day, causing three secret guards to be hacked to death in the resistance, and he was captured alive because of the poisoned arrows he was in at the time. It is respectable that although this person was severely tortured after his arrest, he never surrendered, and he was worthy of being a hero. Liu Yuxin asked An to meet him leisurely here, and it was Xiang who took the opportunity to disturb the minds of the two of them and broke them one by one.
It's a pity that although the screenwriter is good, he also needs the cooperation of the actors. Despite Liu Yuxin's persuasion several times, the secret guard and An Youran still did not move, and there was no improvement. In fact, the reason for this is that the secret guard is afraid that if he doesn't understand the situation and say the wrong thing, he will implicate An Youran, so he doesn't dare to speak rashly; Na An was saddened by the hideous wounds on the dark guard's body, and he didn't know where to start for a while. The two of them have their own hearts and concerns, and they are silent and reasonable. But how could Liu Xiaohou have the leisure and elegance to spend time with them here?
After drinking the last sip of tea in the cup, Liu Yuxin suddenly said gloomily, "I always like the beauty of adults, and since these two people like to be dumb, they have to help each other." The mouth that can't speak has an extra ornamental tongue, which is redundant to think about, so it's better to cut it off and clean it! Someone's coming! Cut out both of their tongues! ”
