In the dimly lit dungeon, the humid air smelled of decay.

There is no sunlight all year round, and the sound of painful moans in the air makes this place particularly eerie.

In the interrogation room, the shirtless Yuan Lian's hands were chained to the wall, his upper body had been whipped with a leather whip, and there was no intact skin on the entire upper body.

The middle-aged man sitting on the stool stared at him, waited for half a pillar of incense, and this time turned his head and waved his hand to the strong man next to him: "Wake him up!" ”

The strong man next to him turned around and bent down to scoop up a scoop of cold water from the bucket and splashed it on Yuan Lian's face, stimulated by the cold water, and the unconscious Yuan Lian woke up.

"Yuan Gong woke up? It should taste pretty good, right? The little ones are not good at their hands and feet, so they are afraid that they will not serve Yuan Gong well, if Yuan Gong is not satisfied, please Yuan Gong not be polite, just say it! Come on, another person will come to serve Yuan Gong again, this time you must send Yuan Gong to the clouds! ”

Another naked man promised: "No! ”

Yuan Lian, who had been tortured several times in a row and fainted to death several times, finally couldn't bear this extreme torture anymore, and he chose to give in in grief and indignation.

"Don't fight, don't fight, what do you want?" Yuan Jian asked weakly.

The middle-aged man asked unhurriedly: "I just want to ask Yuan Gong a few things, if Yuan Gong is willing to answer, naturally he will not be treated like this again, I will ask a doctor to treat Yuan Gong's injuries, and good wine and good food will be served!" ”

"Water, I want to drink water!" Yuan Jian felt smoke in his throat, and his speech was weak.

The middle-aged man tilted his head to the strong man next to him, and the strong man scooped a scoop of water from the wooden bucket next to him and poured it into Yuan Lian's mouth.

After Yuan Jian finished drinking the water, the middle-aged man asked, "Dare to ask Yuan Gong whose order to come to Wancheng this time?" ”

Yuan Lian replied: "Ordered by the prime minister!" ”

"What is the matter with coming to Wancheng?"

"Persuade Yang Hong to be used by the prime minister, and continue to stay by Qin Feng's side!"

The middle-aged man's eyes flashed, and he continued to ask: "Has Yang Hong ever betrayed?" ”

Yuan Jian shook his head and said: "Yuan has visited him several times, intending to get closer, and has persuaded him three times, but Yang Hong has refused with words!" ”

"Did Duke Yuan originally want to leave Wancheng and return to Xudu?"

"Naturally, if you can't persuade you to surrender, you naturally want to return to Xudu to repay the prime minister!"

The middle-aged man continued to ask, "Is there anyone who has the same mission as Yuan Gong who came to Wancheng?" ”

“······” Yuan Jian hesitated, after all, he still had some shame, and he couldn't stand the torture and succumbed to it, seeing that if he betrayed his friends, he would lose his virtue.

How could the middle-aged man not see it, he sneered: "Yuan Gong, there is a slang saying in the market called 'Dead Dao friends do not die poor Dao', does Yuan Gong want to protect others with his own life?" This kind of high wind and bright festival is really admired in the next! ”

This kind of irony made Yuan Jian extremely uncomfortable, but it hit his fragile and pitiful self-esteem and discipline again and again.

Now in this situation, he himself still doesn't know if he can sign up, where can he take care of other people, in order not to continue to be tortured, Yuan Jian can only reluctantly betray his friends.

"Before I came, there was another person who was with me, this person's name was Jiang Gan, and he also had this purpose, but I was different from his contact person, I contacted Yang Hong, and he was responsible for persuading Jiang Gan to surrender!"

"Jiang Gan?" The middle-aged man confirmed.

Yuan Jian nodded: "Yes, he is also a guest of the Prime Minister!" ”

The middle-aged man sighed: "Yan Xiang is much brighter than that Mr. Yang, and I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, after Jiang Gan went to see Yan Xiang for the first time, Yan Xiang reported Jiang Gan as a lobbyist sent by Cao Cao, but Jiang Gan is too fine, he may have discovered something strange in advance, and when I went to arrest him, he ran away, and I haven't caught it until now!" ”

Yuan Jian sighed in his heart when he heard this, thinking about it, he had been in contact with Yang Hong too often, and it was strange not to be targeted by Qin Feng's minions!

The middle-aged man continued to ask: "Is there anyone else besides Jiang Gan?" ”

Yuan Jian shook his head and said, "No, all I know is him!" ”

"Is there anyone else working with you?" The middle-aged man asked.

Yuan Jian said: "Before I came, Cheng Yu told me that if there is something, I can find a person named Zeng Aniu in the northeast camp outside Wancheng!" ”

The middle-aged man asked, "How do you gain trust with each other?" ”

"After seeing him, I only need to say 'Uncle Ru, please bring a letter here'"

The middle-aged man showed a satisfied smile, and immediately signaled to the strong man next to him: "Come on, put it down for Yuan Gong, go and ask someone to prepare hot water for Yuan Gong to wash, and ask the doctor to come over and treat Yuan Gong's injuries!" ”

After a busy time, Yuan Jian was washed clean, and all the injuries on his body were treated and medicated.

A table full of good wine and good food was placed in front of Yuan Lian, Yuan Lian was like a starving ghost reincarnated, and he pounced on it to devour a mouthful, a mouthful of wine and a mouthful of meat, and his mouth was full of oil.

The middle-aged man is very good at controlling the timing, he got up with a smile, took a blank piece of paper from the table next to him and walked to Yuan Jian and shook it: "As long as Yuan Gong writes a letter of surrender on this piece of paper, signs and draws a pledge, you can go out, after going out, Yuan Gong will return to Xu Du and still enjoy the blessings of being a big official in the imperial court, but sometimes we occasionally ask Yuan Gong to do a small favor, as long as Yuan Gong obediently cooperates, this letter of surrender will sink into the sea!" ”

When Yuan Jian heard this, he immediately trembled like chaff, "You, you and the others let me go back to Xu Du?" ”

The middle-aged man comforted: "Don't be afraid, as far as I know, Yuan Gong is not too much used by Cao Cao, with Yuan Gong's talent should do great things, if you can stay by Cao Cao's side, you can't make contributions, my lord's ambition is not under Cao Cao, if there is a talented person like Yuan Gong to assist, ten years later, it may not be able to sweep the world and open up a new world!" ”

"Come on, writing a letter of surrender is easy for a well-educated person like Yuan Gong! Come on, bring pen and ink! ”

In order to survive, Yuan Chuan was forced to write a letter of surrender and draw a charge on it.

The middle-aged man took the written letter of Toucheng and looked at it, and said with a satisfied smile: "Yuan Gong is really brilliant, and the letter of Chengcheng is so well written!" Yuan Gong rest assured, when Yuan Gong returns in the future, this letter of surrender will be exchanged to Yuan Gong as it is, if Yuan Guild does not cooperate a lot, this letter of surrender will appear on Cao Cao's book case at any time, with Cao Cao's suspicious temperament, Yuan Gong should be able to think of what his fate is, right? ”

Yuan Lian's body trembled in fright, and he didn't even dare to think about this scene.
