Chapter 53: Surfacing
Mu Sheng took the wooden slip and pen and wrote a lot of interrogation techniques and psychological suggestion skills on it and handed it to Yao Ji, and instructed, "Brother Yao, you follow these things I wrote, ask step by step, as long as you can get the key clues, it is enough for this woman's mind to be only six years old, and she doesn't need to be tortured, and coercion and temptation are completely useless, which will only make this woman's mind more closed, and she can't ask anything useful anymore." ”
"I'll go back and rest for a while, the soul searching technique was too draining just now, you hurry up and ask first, and I'll come back later."
Yao Ji took the wooden slip and nodded yes.
Mu Sheng went over to pry open the mouth of the woman in the green shirt, fed a pill, and said, "The effect of the medicine will work after a quarter of an hour, she wakes up, you prepare some food and water, you must win her trust, the IQ of a six- or seven-year-old child, coaxing, can also ask some things." ”
Yao Ji said, "Well, don't worry, just leave this matter to me." ”
Mu Sheng returned to the house, took a awakening pill in his mouth, began to meditate and recover, and an hour later he returned to the interrogation room, took off his mask, sat down opposite the woman in the green shirt, and Yao Ji looked like a confidant big brother, knocking from the side.
The two of them worked from day to night, and finally asked a bunch of seemingly illogical, but very suspicious locations, Mu Sheng and Yao Ji did a preliminary intelligence screening, Mu Sheng found Fang Xiong again, and asked him to spill all the manpower, and investigate and find these suspicious locations one by one tomorrow morning.
In the county guard's mansion, this county guard Fu Leopard Fu couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and he always felt restless.
As soon as I got up in the morning, a messenger came to report that the granary was raided by a group of mysterious people last night, causing a lot of losses, fortunately, the Qin Cha was still there, and it was not robbed by the other party, the strange thing is that the four immortal chiefs seemed to be chasing the attackers, and there was no news for two days.
Fu Bao couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and put on his clothes, summoned the officials in the house, and ordered, "You quickly go and order Lieutenant Feng, and tomorrow you will start sending troops to blockade the whole city, and you are only allowed to enter and not leave the city." ”
Looking at the back of the little official's departure, Fu Bao felt a little relieved, Guo Huan and his people flashed in his heart, it is estimated that the raid on the granary was done by this person, but it doesn't matter, he makes his small moves, as long as he delays for a few more days, big things can be done, and he can fly away.
Fu Bao went back to the house and looked at the beauty on the bed, but it was a pity for Xinna's concubine.
Thinking of this, he suddenly slapped himself and said to himself, "Those who have achieved great things, why be restrained?" How can you indulge in wine all day long? ”
In the early morning of the next day, Mu Sheng, Yao Ji, and Guo Huan listened to Fang Xiong's report.
"I've sent people to investigate suspicious locations outside the city, and I haven't found anything ......."
Guo Huan frowned when he heard this, "There is only one place now, which is very suspicious, that is, the county government prison in the city, which is heavily guarded, and it is not easy for spies to get in, who of you is going to investigate?" ”
Mu Sheng said, "Big brother, I'll go, it's unlikely that there will be a monk in the prison, and the female devil has repeatedly mentioned this place, I guess there must be something important hidden here." ”
Yao Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "Big brother, I'll accompany Brother Liu on a trip to prepare for it." ”
Guo Huan slapped the table and said, "Okay!" With the two of you to do something, I'm relieved. ”
Mu Sheng and Yao Ji wore hats, disguised themselves, and sneaked out of the back door of the post house and went straight to the county prison.
When the two were about to go out, they happened to meet the female devil who was playing alone with flowers and plants in the backyard of the post house, and now she is only six years old, so she doesn't care about it, and goes with her.
When she saw the two of them coming out, she ran to her, took Mu Sheng's hand, and said coquettishly, "Brother Liu, Brother Yao, take me out to play." ”
Seeing this, Mu Sheng touched her head with a smile and said comfortingly, "Good, we have something to do when we go out, I will definitely take you out to play another day, okay?" ”
Hua Zilan's expression became lost, and she muttered: "Okay! Brother Liu and Brother Yao will definitely take me out to play tomorrow......"
The two of them talked about it, and finally got rid of her entanglement, a woman in her twenties was coquettish like a six-year-old child, which really made people feel a little weird......
On the way, Yao Ji asked Mu Sheng, "Brother Liu, how should the female monks of Qingli Mountain deal with it?" ”
The successful interrogation made Mu Sheng full of confidence, and he also learned some psychological knowledge in the later life, he thought about it in his heart, and said, "I definitely can't let the tiger go back to the mountain, I wanted to kill things directly, but now she only has a six-year-old IQ left, I feel confident that I can transform her into my own person and use her for us." ”
Yao Ji was surprised: "Really? If we can do it, then we will have one more combat power, a heavenly master. ”
Yao Ji was convinced of Mu Sheng's interrogation ability just now, and he also believed Yao Ji a little when he said this.
Mu Sheng recalled the embarrassment that the female demon chased the three of them to an embarrassment the day before yesterday, if it weren't for the secret weapon of golden lightning, maybe Lao Tzu would have been on the wall a long time ago......
Mu Sheng said, "I am probably fifty or sixty percent sure, but it takes too much effort and time, but with her strength, it is worth trying, if it doesn't work, it will not be too late to get rid of this trouble." ”
Yao Ji frowned and said, "Will there be any hidden dangers?" ”
Mu Sheng said, "Of course there will be, no spell is without flaws, I am worried that she will completely become a waste person during the transformation process, and this piece of good material will be wasted in vain, and I am also the first time I have tried to brainwash her." ”
Yao Ji was puzzled: "Brainwashing? Is there such a thing? ”
Mu Sheng said, "Yes, as long as the method is done properly, there should be no problem, and it should be supplemented by soul searching techniques to modify her memory, it just so happens that she is now seriously injured, she is an idiot, and it is easy to operate a lot, leaving her life for our use, it is better than dying." ”
Yao Ji looked at Mu Sheng with the eyes of a devil, thinking that he was some kind of evil cultivator.
Mu Sheng didn't care.
The two sneaked all the way to the gate of the prison and lingered for a long time, and several teams of soldiers patrolled back and forth at the gate of the prison, heavily guarded, and could only wait for the night to act.
In the evening, the two went around to the back door of the prison, and they looked at the county prison, the wall was three feet high, about the same height as the city wall, and it was difficult to climb it with their body skills.
Yao Ji looked at it a few times, took out a pair of grappling hooks, handed them to Mu Sheng, and the two of them struggled to throw and pull on the wall, almost fixing it.
Mu Sheng lifted his breath and pulled the rope, and flew up to the wall in a few breaths, Yao Ji could only honestly drag the rope up step by step to climb, but it was also considered to be athletic, and he also jumped on the high wall in a few breaths.
The two climbed down the high wall and came across a patrol of soldiers in the prison, who hurriedly hid behind a low wall.
Yao Ji whispered, "It seems that you have come to the right place, the prison is tight inside and loose outside, there must be something important hidden here, is it an account book?" ”
Mu Sheng said: "Maybe it's more important than this, but it's not necessarily. ”
The two watched as the patrol departed.
Yao Ji said: "Grab your tongue and ask for directions." ”
The two sneaked all the way to the entrance of the prison, and saw two rows of guards standing at the door, brightly lit, and it was definitely not possible to break in, so they had to think of another way.
At this time, Yao Ji patted Mu Sheng's shoulder and motioned him to look to the right, only to see that the room on the right was full of people, and he didn't know what to do.
In this era, the hierarchy of officials was very strict, and who was the chief official could be easily identified by a glance at the bun and crown on his head.
After a while, the chief seemed to be in a hurry and went out first, and Mu Sheng and Yao Ji, who were ambushed outside the house, looked at each other for a moment, and tacitly agreed, Okay, it's you.
The chief came out of the toilet, and the two waited outside the thatched house, and the chief saw that the two were wearing jailer clothes, and their faces were very angry, and he couldn't remember who it was for a while, so he shouted directly in his voice, "Things that don't have long eyes, blocking Lao Tzu from doing ......"
As soon as the chief saw that Yao Ji's knife was already on his neck, he immediately changed his face, and said with a smile on his face, "The two heroes have something to say, something to say, why should a civilized society use a knife and a gun." ”
Mu Sheng lowered his voice and said sharply, "Honestly, are you the head of the prison here?" ”
He hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, there is a warden here, in charge of the county prison." ”
"Open your mouth!"
The warden looked at the dangling long knife on his neck and had to open his mouth, Mu Sheng immediately flicked a pill into his throat, and quickly clicked his throat with one finger, only to hear a grunt, and the warden swallowed it directly.
The warden's face was as white as earth, and his mouth was as open as a dead fish, unable to utter a word.
Mu Sheng comforted him and said, "This is a pill refined by the seven-step Broken Intestine Grass, after an hour, the whole body is paralyzed, and the seven orifices bleed to death, as long as you listen to us honestly, you will have no worries about your life, do you hear clearly?" ”
The warden trembled all over, his legs went limp, he knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy!
Mu Sheng said sharply, "Stand up, I have something to ask you, the prison is so tightly guarded, has the county guard explained anything important?" ”
The warden stammered, "Good man, yes, yes, yes, there is, there seems to be an important prisoner in the inner prison dungeon, even I am not qualified to see it, the county guard only arranged for two prison guards to send food in, the county guard is said to have several monks under the command of the county guard, usually only a woman wearing a mask comes to visit the court prisoners in the dungeon from time to time, and the rest of the villains don't know anything." ”
Mu Sheng and Yao Ji glanced at each other, the woman he was talking about must be Hua Zilan, a monk from Qingli Mountain, Yao Ji said to the prison head, "Take us to the inner prison, we want to meet this imperial court prisoner." ”
The warden was embarrassed when he heard this, the court prisoners were not just anyone who could see them, and if he rashly brought a few people to see him, he would not be able to keep his black gauze hat.
Mu Sheng saw that the warden was embarrassed, he directly smashed the earthen wall next to him with a punch, and the knife frame and neck threatened, "You have to be dishonest at all, just like this wall, if you dare to call for help, I don't mind killing all the living creatures here." ”
The prison head saw that he was done with the calf, and he met a ruthless character, so he had to put away his careful thoughts and cooperate with the two heroes, and along the way, the prison guards kept greeting the acquaintances he saw, and when he saw people who suspected the identities of Mu Sheng and Yao Ji, he hurriedly covered up the past with various rounds.
The two of them followed the wardens to the left and right, as if they were protecting the Dharma, until they entered the dimly lit dungeon, where only a few torches burned and lit, and the dungeon was full of wailing, and the prisoners were usually a dozen people locked up in the same cell like livestock, and there was only some straw paving in the cell, and there was a dung bucket in the corner, and there was nothing in the prison, and the smell of all kinds of corruption and foul smell came to the face, and the ground was stained, and rats, insects and ants were rampant.
Mu Sheng also saw the prison of this era for the first time, the environment here is like hell on earth, if there is really a hell in the world, it will be just like this, he really can't bear the smell here along the way, so he has to pinch his nose and follow the warden to go inside, the three of them have reached the innermost cell, which is obviously different from other cells, it looks much stronger, it is a fully enclosed independent prison cell, and the cell door outside the prison is actually iron, which shows that the prisoners held inside are not trivial.
The warden hurriedly stepped forward and took out the key to open the iron prison door and motioned for them to enter.
Mu Sheng said, "You go in first." ”
The warden looked embarrassed, and said to the two, "Good man, there is an order from above, only those who hold the county guard token can enter, and I am not qualified to go in." ”
Mu Sheng didn't talk nonsense, he directly put the knife on his neck and shouted, "When is it, token, see if the knife in Lao Tzu's hand is fast?" ”
The warden was so frightened that he turned pale, so he had to fetch an oil lamp and go in first, and the two of them followed him in, the environment here was much better than outside, the ventilation was better, and there was no unbearable stench, and by the faint oil lamp they saw a man in tattered clothes, thin and wearing an iron mask lying in the corner of the thatched room, leaning against the wall.
Seeing this situation, Mu Sheng and Yao Ji looked at each other, who is this? Mu Sheng was just about to get close to him.
The man looked up at the two of them and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Mu Sheng asked rhetorically, "Who are you?" Why are you being held here by the county guard? ”
The man smiled and said, "As long as you take off the iron mask on the old man's face, you will naturally know who I am." ”
Mu Sheng looked back at the warden and motioned for him to open his mask.
The warden spread his hands and said, "Two good men, this man was like this when he came two years ago, and I didn't have a key ...... at all."
The two of them leaned forward to check the mask on his head, there was a complicated lock on the back of his head, and he didn't know what to do after looking at it for a long time.
