Chapter XXVIII
Tuoba Hongfei said: "Second brother, third brother, although you two can go with them with peace of mind, what they want is still in our hands, where are they willing to kill us." ”
After that, he said to the officials who came to bring the people: "Just give our three brothers good wine and food, and heal the wounds on our bodies, and one day when the masters are happy, they will recruit the whereabouts of the scriptures, hahaha!" He laughed loudly, and his words were full of banter.
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were about to have a seizure, when they suddenly saw the eyes of Wang Dynasty and Ma Han, so they gave up. The servants stepped forward and took Pan Tianluo and Ma Qing out of the big cell, one to the east and the other to the west, and wanted to divide the two into two cells.
The two of them were already wounded, and they were wearing iron shackles on their feet, and they walked step by step, walking very slowly. One of the errand servants was impatient, and couldn't help but pull the iron chain around the necks of the two, and shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, grind and chirp, his grandmother's, where is the majesty of the past!" That Ma Qing was gloomy and silent, but Pan Tianluo kept scolding and scolding, and said straightly: "What are you pulling, Lao Tzu fell to his death, and dragged you to the underworld together." ”
The three cells were not far apart, and the voices of the three were faintly audible.
Within a few hours of separation, they heard a messenger shouting outside, saying that they were going to interrogate the prisoner Pan Tianluo. Tuoba Hongfei and Ma Qing stared and listened carefully, only to hear the sound of the jailer opening the prison door with the key "Ding Ling", and between them was Pan Tianluo's angry scolding: "His grandmother's still doesn't let people stop!", "No matter how fucking Lao Tzu is tried a hundred times, Lao Tzu has nothing to say." Then the sound of shackles faded away.
Tuoba Hongfei waited for the servant to walk away, approached the small window at the top of the iron gate and shouted, "Third brother, third brother." Ma Qing responded: "Big brother, do you hear that the second brother was taken to the court." The voice was a little empty, as if coming from the west.
The iron window above the cell door is very small, and there is an iron fence to block it, Tuoba Hongfei can't look into the aisle, but seeing that no one came out to stop the conversation between the two, he expected that the jailer should not be there, but he was cautious, for fear that the words between the brothers would be heard, so he reminded Ma Qing: "Third brother, be careful when you speak." I'll talk about it when the second brother comes back. The Ma Qing replied: "Yes, the little brother understands." ”
Most of the two of them leaned against the window in their respective cells and listened to the movement outside the cell, except for the squeaking of a few rats, they did not hear half a minute of movement, and after about a few hours, they were extremely tired and drowsy, and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching in the cell, and were about to ask questions, but heard the jailer shouting, "The prisoner is eating!"
Although the two of them were greatly disappointed, they suddenly realized that they were indeed hungry in their stomachs, and it was good to have food to eat. Although I saw that the only thing that came in from the window was rice, pickles, and pickled radish, and there was no meat, I still grabbed the food in a panic and stuffed it into my mouth and ate it, feeling very sweet and delicious.
After the meal was settled, the two of them had some energy, and waited for a while, and finally heard the sound of the door opening and the sound of shackles, and Pan Tianluo was taken back to the cell by several messengers. After Tuoba Hongfei and the other jailers who locked the door left, he hurriedly asked, "Second brother, what is the current situation? Did they torture you?"
I only heard Pan Tianluo's weak voice from over there: "I didn't move the punishment today, and I refused to tell the whereabouts of the "Wujing General Essentials", but I was not allowed to eat, I was not allowed to drink, I was not allowed to take a nap, and I was kept kneeling in front of the hall, I refused to kneel, and they hit me with a stick on the leg wound, his grandmother's ......."
Ma Qing said sadly: "Second brother, you have suffered. ”
Tuoba Hongfei said: "Second brother, you are really a good man, remember the whereabouts of this scripture, it must not be revealed." ”
Pan Tianluo said: "I will never lose the face of the party members, I want to be dignified, dignified ......" The voice became lower and lower.
Tuoba Hongfei and Ma Qing were secretly frightened, I don't know what Pan Tianluo's situation is, just when they were worried, they suddenly heard a snoring sound, it turned out that Pan Tianluo was a person with a wide heart and a fat body, who had suffered so much, tossing all night and all day, even if he was beaten by iron, he also crossed it, and when he returned to the prison, he could no longer support it, and he deserved a few words, but the sleepy insect attacked, and he fell asleep and died.
The two of them heard that he was just asleep, so they were a little relieved, and they were staying in the prison and sleeping well. Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps in the corridor, and another messenger poured in, Tuoba Hongfei listened attentively, but this time he said that he would interrogate Ma Qing.
After the officers took Ma Qing out, Tuoba Hongfei beat his spirits and wanted to wait for Ma Qing to return to the cell before listening to the interrogation, but he couldn't stand the continuous exhaustion, and fatigue hit, so he fell asleep unconsciously.
I don't know how long I slept, but with a bang, the cell door opened, and Tuoba Hong woke up violently, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Dynasty, and Ma Han four lieutenants with several messengers pouring in, he didn't wait for anyone to speak, rubbed his eyes and stood up and said, "Is it my turn to be tried?"
Zhang Long said with a smile: "Those who know practitioners are Junjie, when you come to Lord Bao, it is best to know the current affairs." Tuoba Hongfei snorted, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "How is my third brother?"
Wang Chao replied: "Your third brother, the bones are quite hard, but I don't think I can carry it for too long." ”
Although Tuoba Hongfei is convinced that neither Ma Qing nor Pan Tianluo will confess, he always has to ask questions, which is really reassuring. Seeing Wang Chao say this, he was relieved at first, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he followed this cadre out with such a heavy heart, and at this moment, Pan Tianluo and Ma Qing were still asleep and did not shout to him.
When Tuoba Hongfei saw Bao Zheng, he didn't kneel, squinted his eyes and sneered: "I respect you as Lord Bao Qingtian Bao praised by everyone, how do you know that you are also a shameless villain who can only play some treacherous tricks." ”
Bao Zheng didn't laugh angrily and said, "Tell me what kind of conspiracy trick I used to deal with the three of you?"
Tuoba Hongfei said: "You take turns to interrogate my three brothers like this, and you don't let you sleep and rest, just to wait for the three of me to beg you for mercy and confession, yes or no?"
Bao Zheng said angrily: "For a thief like you who cruelly harms good people and steals the secrets of our dynasty, do you still need to use courtesy to treat the three of you?"
Tuoba Hongfei was speechless for a while, raised his eyes to the sky, and no longer paid attention to Bao Zheng. Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Chao, and Ma Han saw that he was offended by Bao Zheng, and their attitude was arrogant, and they were all furious, and they all shouted in unison: "Bold murderer, offense in court, unforgivable crime, don't kneel down!", stepped forward and pressed his shoulder, trying to press him to his knees.
Tuoba Hongfei has already been exhausted after that day's battle, and he has not been able to eat and sleep well for several days, and his strength has been greatly reduced, but his internal strength is strong, and his skills are far above these few government captains, where can these four people press down. When the officer next to him saw it, he raised the whistle stick and hit him at the knee, only to hear the "click" The whistle stick broke in two, and Tuoba Hongfei was still standing there.
Bao Zheng said: "Tuoba Hongfei, I respect you as a man, how can you do things but dare not do it!
Tuoba Hongfei said angrily: "Who is the turtle with a shrunken head! Didn't Lao Tzu admit it! The three of us did it. ”
Bao Zheng said: "Since you confess your guilt, why do you have to dodge and hide your head and tail." If you explain the whereabouts of "The General Essentials of the Martial Arts", when this book is returned, I will guarantee that the three of you will not die!"
Tuoba Hongfei raised his head and said: "If my party Xiang Sanying is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, why wait until today. Everyone is their own master, and now they are captured, it is also the destiny of heaven, if you want to kill you, you have to listen to the respect, just ask me to confess, it is absolutely impossible!"
Bao Zheng and Yan Yuese said: "You are not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but your three brothers, I don't think they are all like you, and I will not use torture to extract confessions today, you go back and think about it." ”
Tuoba Hongfei rolled his eyes and said: "The three of my brothers live and die together, they are all the same, no matter how you interrogate, you will not succeed." ”
Bao Zheng smiled and said, "I think it will be a time before your obsession will come, and someone will take him down." Tuoba Hongfei was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "This is the end of the trial? Why did the second brother and the third brother want to take such a long time, but I sent it away in a few words? There must be something strange in it." He was suspicious, but he couldn't understand it, so he was dragged back to the prison by the servants.
Next, day and night, regardless of the hour, the servants took turns to interrogate the three people, but every time Bao Zheng interrogated Tuoba Hongfei, he went over and over to find out where the twelve volumes of "Wujing General Essentials" went, he naturally refused to confess, and Bao Zheng didn't say much, so he let him go back to the cell. However, when Pan Tianluo and Ma Qing were interrogated, they had to be interrogated for two or three hours before they could return.
The three of them returned to the prison in turn, and Tuoba Hongfei took turns shouting and questioning each other at first, and when they came back, they were all exhausted, tired and tired. The heart is an old routine that has passed the trial, there is nothing new, and I am too lazy to ask.
Suddenly, one day, after Ma Qing's arraignment, it took four or five hours to return. After it was delivered, Pan Tianluo was brought to interrogation.
Tuoba Hongfei recovered well that day, and he didn't sleep, and when the jailer who locked the cell door walked away, he hurriedly came to the window to call Ma Qing, and shouted several times in a row, Ma Qing heard the call and quickly agreed.
Tuoba Hongfei hurriedly asked Ma Qingdao: "Third brother, how will Bao Zheng judge you, and how long will it take?"
Ma Qing said: "Big brother, don't worry, they just forced me to kneel under the hall, a good meal, and didn't allow me to sleep, I naturally didn't say a word, but, just this time I was really sleepy, let me sleep first." ”
Tuoba Hongfei said: "That's good, third brother, it's not that the eldest brother believes you, but it's actually that this "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" is the master's thousands of confessions, and there can be no mistakes!"
Ma Qing said vaguely in his mouth: "Big brother, don't worry, I naturally know this, although I am blind, but my heart is very bright, it is impossible to reveal the slightest rumor, but, I just don't know what day it is, I'm afraid it's close to the day when the master will go to the Central Plains, right?"
Tuoba Hongfei's heart sank, and he said in his heart: "I haven't seen the light of day in prison these days, and I don't even know how time has passed, if the master comes and goes to Xiangguo Temple, where can I find the scriptures?"
On this day, Pan Tianluo was also interrogated for four or five hours before returning. It's strange to say that this time he sent Pan Tianluo back, but he didn't interrogate Tuoba Hongfei again.
Tuoba Hongfei held on to his sleepiness, and after the jailer left, he hurriedly called Pan Tianluo. Pan Tianluo also replied after a while: "What did the eldest brother call me?"
Tuoba Hongfei asked him as usual how he was going to interrogate him today, and why he had to be interrogated for so long this time? Pan Tianluo squeaked over there and said vaguely: "Big brother, I didn't say anything, let me sleep and then talk." After saying that, he was silent again, and before long, there was a snoring sound from the other end, and it was obvious that he was asleep.
Tuoba Hongfei saw that the second brother and the third brother were interrogated for a long time this time, but he was the only one who was not arraigned, and he had more than doubts in his heart, but he didn't know why he wanted to break his head. I don't know how long it took, but the tiredness hit, and I couldn't support it anymore, so I fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept this night. In a daze, it seemed to have returned to Xixia, on the grassland, bonfires were lit everywhere, someone handed him a fragrant roast leg of mutton, he grabbed it, gnawed it up, and couldn't help but think, so delicious, how can there be no wine? It is also strange to say, this side is thinking of fine wine, this nose smells the aroma of wine, and under the great joy, suddenly wake up.
