Gangneung City, inside the torture chamber.

Zhou Cang has been carrying a knife for Guan Yu for so long, and it is the first time that he has presided over the trial of a "prisoner", and the prisoner he interrogated is still a beggar.

Overnight, the entire Gangneung City was plastered with "false notices".

It was a deliberate act.

After some investigation, Zhou Cang locked up a beggar.

Someone saw that in the middle of the night, it was this beggar who posted something on the city wall.

As a result, this beggar naturally became the breakthrough point of "this case".

Zhou Cang walked to the table and sat down.

When interrogating the prisoner, he was still a little jerky, and he was like a mountain across the line.

What made him even more nervous was that in the next cell, Guan Yu, Ma Liang, Guan Ping, Guan Xing and others were guarding there.

Although the "notice" plastered all over Gangneung City is fake, the three seals are all available, and the pictures and texts are exactly the same.

And the content of the notice is closely related to the ownership of Jingzhou.

It's too sensitive.

Everyone wondered, who instructed the beggar?

Is it Cao Cao from the north?

Or Sun Quan in the east?

…

This room cannot be regarded as a serious public court, but it is more stressful than the public court, and the room is extraordinarily dark because it is small, and it looks gloomy.

On the wall there are heavy flails, leather whips, and Luo Tie...

The coals in the basin were burning red, and on either side stood shirtless and strong torturers.

Their indifferent expressions seemed to tell the prisoners that whether they were princes and nobles or beggars and outcasts, they were all equal and inferior in their eyes.

"What's your name?"

"Two dogs!"

"Who instructed you?"

"Little one, I don't know what the official is talking about?"

Zhou Cang had a conversation with the beggar.

With a "bang", Zhou Cang took the case, "You know why they sent General Ben to interrogate you, it's because General Ben is the most impatient, if you don't recruit..."

Zhou Cang directly lifted the soldering iron in the brazier, looking like he was about to bend into a move.

The beggar called "Ergou" still shook his head vigorously, "Official, I, I don't know what the official is asking?" ”

"General Ben reminds you that you posted those notices in Gangneung City, right? Say - who instructed you to post it? ”

Zhou Cang's eyes widened, he wanted to use these tiger eyes to scare the beggar in front of him.

Once the beggar is frightened, the next thing is easy.

Who would have thought, the beggar just nodded slightly, "It's me!" But no one told me where to go! ”

The grace of dripping water is reciprocated by springs.

In ancient times, even beggars would practice this most basic principle, they had the most simple bottom line, and whoever gave them food and clothing, they would never betray anyone.

"You a beggar? Where did you get these notices? He also said that no one instructed him. ”

Zhou Cang's trial became more and more handy, and his tone became more and more cold.

"No one instructs, I just don't have anyone to instruct, I just think it's fun, and I just play with it." The beggar gritted his teeth and kept repeating the same sentence.

"It seems... You don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. Zhou Cang lifted the burnt red soldering iron.

The beggar was in tears, or the same sentence ...

He doesn't recruit it, he's the one who suffers, but if he does, those brothers who beg together, and... And the "son" will suffer, and he can carry this clearly.

It was Guan Yu in the next cell, he stared at his eyebrows, and Danfeng's eyes almost narrowed into a slit.

He's realized how easy it is.

It's a ruse!

"Ji Chang..."Guan Yu looked back at Ma Liang.

"Guan Gong." At this moment, Ma Liang was also worried, he thought further, now that things have happened, notices are posted all over the city.

So...

Soon, whether it is Jiangling City, or Jiangxia, Guiyang, Changsha, and even the people of Jingzhou, they will know.

Even if this "notice" is "fake", under such dissemination, I am afraid that the fake will become true.

And whether it is Cao Jun or Soochow, they can make a big fuss with this!

This is what Ma Liang worries the most.

"What do you think?" Guan Yu sighed.

Ma Liang pondered for a moment and proposed: "Don't let General Zhou torture, how miserable is the life of these beggars in Pingsuri?" Now that he can do things for others, he must have reaped a lot of benefits, as can be seen from the robes he is wearing. ”

"Knowing the kindness, plus I am afraid that there are a lot of people involved behind him, it is torture, and I am afraid that he will not confess, but..."

Ma Liang's eyes rolled and he paused.

Guan Yu hurriedly asked, "It's okay for Ji Chang to speak directly. ”

"Instead of moving, it's better to let it go!"

"Released?" Guan Yu looked at Ma Liang with surprise.

You know, these beggars' notices are posted in great secrecy.

After investigation, only one was found, and this is the only clue.

Ma Liang exhaled lightly and said with emotion: "Only when you let it go, can you see who he is in contact with?" In order to hear some clues from their conversation and find out who is behind the scenes! ”

Ma Liang blurted out these words, Guan Yu's eyes gradually opened, and he took a deep breath.

After ten breaths of silence, he waved his hand and said in his mouth:

- "Release the people! ”

…

…

In the early morning, the morning light is not bright.

The beggars gathered outside the cell gate of Gangneung Fortress in twos and threes.

Seeing that the "two dogs" were released, they hurriedly greeted them.

A beggar who looked like a head hurriedly grabbed the hand of "Ergou" and asked nervously, "You didn't say anything, did you?" ”

Ergou shook his head and whispered: "I understand the rules, I didn't say anything." ”

"Then they'll let you go?"

Another beggar asked in surprise.

"I was going to beat me, but I don't know why, I didn't fight in the end, and I was released..."

Ergou's words made all the beggars feel relieved.

The beggar sighed with emotion: "It's good that you didn't say anything, in the future, you don't want to see 'Hong Qigong' and his 'old man' again, his old man has already sent today's bread, as well as the bedding, and our share of yours is specially kept." ”

"It's just that his old man doesn't know about you yet, so we can't let the benefactor worry!"

As he spoke, the beggar patted Ergou's shoulder again and again, and Ergou nodded sensibly.

Of course, "Hong Qigong" is not an old man, and the reason why he is so called is the agreement of these beggars.

Although they are begging, they also have some rules.

Like what... When begging, stay three steps away from people to avoid passing on the plague and bad luck to others;

For another example, Guan Lin mentioned to them, "Don't let others know who he is?" What it looks like! ”

The beggars are naturally respected, and when Guan Lin is mentioned, he replaces it with "old man".

This time, because I didn't pay attention, I said the words "Hong Qigong" more.

Although, this is just a small episode.

Can...

The beggar's voice fell, and the eyes of the coachman who was pushing a cart of vegetables to the cell suddenly widened, and the essence in it flickered.

However, this was only a matter of moments, and soon he continued to shout at the officers and soldiers in front of the cell.

"Today's dishes are here, all full, take a look!"

Except for this coachman...

There was also a woman, small and lovely, not like a local, she was also outside the cell, weeping and crying from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone.

And when the three words "Hong Qigong" came out of the beggar's mouth.

Her sobs stopped abruptly, and her eyes glanced casually and meaningfully over to the beggar.
