Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Twilight of the World Chapter 285 Torture to extract confessions
Ma Zheng was suddenly assassinated when he was in the limelight, which set off an undercurrent in the entire Sands City, but on the surface, he was pressed by Lu Jichuan without any waves.
Three days later, Lu Jichuan summoned all the thousand military captains who led troops in the city to report the incident to everyone in the impermeable tent.
"At the moment of the great enemy, there is a small work in the city, which is a threat to our entire defense line that cannot be ignored. Ma Zheng, you tell us about the investigation. ”
Ma Zheng's shoulders and chest were all wrapped in dense bandages, and he staggered out with a wooden crutch, with a voice full of sorrow, and shouted,
"Bring that fine work with you!"
A bloody man who seemed to have scattered his skeleton was dragged in by two victorious warriors, and he didn't know how long he was beaten, and even when he was slammed to the ground, he didn't say a word like a pile of rotten meat.
Those unknown generals couldn't help but be shocked in the face of such a tragic punishment. Ma Zheng took a special look at Geng Zhong in the queue, although Geng Zhong's face was pale, he didn't make any further moves.
"Master Huilu, it's all because of the carelessness of his subordinates, seeing that this thief cub is familiar, he didn't take precautions. But this thief took advantage of the loophole, and even affected one of my brothers......"
Speaking of this, Ma Zheng pressed his hand on his chest, showing a painful expression, but after squeezing for a long time, he really couldn't squeeze out a single tear. Lu Jichuan knew Ma Zheng and knew that he was not good at this, so he couldn't stand it, and urged with a little irritability,
"Ma Zheng, let's talk about the key ......"
Ma Zheng also felt that he was acting a little embarrassed, so he went downhill, "Brothers, this kid has a very hard mouth, let us waste a few more horse whips, but finally we have gained something, his party is in our Jinsha City." ”
Several Qianjun lieutenants who followed Lu Jichuan to Jinsha from the Battle of Northern Xinjiang did not know much about the inside story, and they were suddenly shocked by Ma Zheng's words, and they didn't notice that when Ma Zheng said this, he always stared at Geng Zhong who was silent from the corner of his eye.
"What? Assassins and allies?"
Ma Zheng waved his hand at Lu Jichuan, and then said, "Yes, this kid is none other than Xiao Zhu, the deserter who is responsible for distributing relief to the homeless camp. ”
"Xiao Zhu is not a deserter!" suddenly came from outside the tent, and then, the shouting person was also pushed in by the five flowers, and he did not take a steady step, knelt down beside Xiao Zhu, who was blurred in flesh and blood, struggling to get up, but because of the stiffness of the five flowers, he was kicked to the knee by Ma Zheng and knelt down again.
"You still dare to be arrogant, believe it or not, Lao Tzu slashed you with a knife!"
Geng Zhong could no longer turn a blind eye, took a step forward, and saluted Lu Jichuan and Ma Zheng, "This is the flag waving that I am stationed in the camp of the homeless camp, Li Heng." But I wonder what he did?"
"What did you do? Geng Zhong, you like to shake your wit the most in front of the old general, why do you need to explain this matter to you again? The assassin's comrades have not yet been cleaned up, and it is understandable that someone can speak for these details. ”
"Ma Zheng, what do you mean by that!" Geng Zhong finally didn't suppress the anger in his heart, and then his palm touched the saber on his waist.
There was a sound of sword collision, and several of Ma Zheng's subordinates were even more prepared, and several bright broadswords were faster than Geng Zhongliang's.
Seeing that the big tent was about to be fired, Lu Jichuan's face also rose with anger, "What are you going to do? Don't I exist at all? Geng Zhong, do you want to hurt people in front of me? Ma Zheng, don't talk nonsense anymore, grinding and chirping like a girl." ”
"Okay, then I'll make a long story short, this assassin Xiao Zhu is Li Heng's cronies, and Li Heng listens to whom, do you still need me to talk nonsense?" As he spoke, Ma Zheng stared at Geng Zhong viciously.
Geng Zhong's hand gripping the handle of the knife became tighter and tighter, the green tendons on his arm burst out, and the sound of creaking friction could be faintly heard. Ma Zheng looked confident, he wished that Geng Zhongbao's knife would be unsheathed, so that he could do it justifiably.
Lu Jichuan could no longer ignore the crisis in the big tent, seeing that Geng Zhong would break out at any time, he couldn't help but take a step back, "Geng Zhong, what else do you have to say?"
Geng Zhong looked at the bloody Xiao Zhu on the ground, and Li Heng who was forcibly pressed to the ground, his face was pale with anger, but he couldn't speak for a while, the crisis in front of him seemed to be unsolvable, the knife was not out of the sheath, so he waited to be captured. The knife, out of the sheath, it is impossible to fight to the death, but it is even more honest to Lu Jichuan and Ma Zheng.
Seeing that the situation was gradually getting out of control, Geng Zhong had no way to retreat. Suddenly, Xiao Zhu, a bloody man who fell to the ground and had been curled up on the ground like a dead corpse, coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, then convulsed a few times, and his eyes, which had been swollen into a thin slit, barely glanced at everyone in the tent, and it took a long time to recognize where he was.
Xiao Zhu really didn't have the strength to get up, and spit out a few mouthfuls of black blood with difficulty, and whispered in an almost indistinguishable voice, "The little gambler lost money, and I want to rob some silver taels, and I don't want to enter and meet the Lord Qianjun......"
Ma Zheng felt that he couldn't get off the stage, originally he didn't expect that this Xiao Zhu would be able to wake up from a coma unexpectedly, in fact, after a few days of torture, he had almost broken him apart, but he never got the confession that Ma Zheng really wanted.
Ma Zheng privately tested Lu Jichuan's tone, and now in Jinsha City, there are nearly 50,000 people and horses under Ma Zheng, and Geng Zhong has less than 10,000 people and horses. The red man in Chang Polu's eyes, Xiang Bei, the pioneer lieutenant who had just taken office, was never closed, and his Xuanjia Divine Strategy remnants of a thousand people, plus the rout of this homeless camp, could not compete with the power in Ma Zheng's hands.
"Brother Lu, let's just clean up Geng Zhong's kid, Jinsha is still our Jinsha after all!"
"Ma Zheng, if you dare to kill each other, I, as the captain of Jinsha, will definitely show you to the public. Now that the beast army is powerful, even if we count all the men and horses, we are still invincible, and killing each other again is tantamount to digging our own graves. ”
Ma Zheng saw that Lu Jichuan was really angry this time, so he didn't want to say anything, so he had to accompany the smiling face and say that it was a joke. But he didn't expect a God-given opportunity, this time Geng Zhong actually made a low-level mistake and sent his cronies to assassinate him. Get rid of Geng Zhong and regain control of Jinsha, this is simply providence.
However, Xiao Zhu did not let go, and always said that he attacked Ma Zheng by mistake in order to rob money. This made it clear that the excuse of lying made Ma Zheng a little angry, and he originally wanted to beat Xiao Zhu half to death, and then deceive Geng Zhong. But at this juncture, I didn't want Xiao Zhu to wake up unexpectedly.
"In order to rob money, so many people don't rob, you come to rob our Changsheng officers and soldiers?"
"Yes, I thought that under the dangerous city, the people who could afford to eat the gourmet house were the rich. ”
Ma Zheng was choked enough, rushed forward angrily, and stepped on Xiao Zhu's head fiercely, the already somewhat fragmented head squeezed out a few pieces of flesh and blood and stuck to the ground, Xiao Zhu was silent again.
"Xiao Zhu!" Li Heng on the side was distressed, he was tied up and couldn't move, so he had to take a few steps forward and cover Xiao Zhu's body with his body.
"Good!good!good!" Ma Zheng was angry, but he seemed to see a turning point again, and his eyes were shining on Li Heng, "Since you admit that you are an accomplice with him, then you come and tell me, how many of your comrades are in the camp camps?
When he said this, Ma Zheng's eyes were always fixed on Geng Zhong's body, looking at Xiao Zhu, who died tragically, and the tortured Beacon Captain couldn't hold back anymore.
"Captain Ma, you don't have to point to Sang and scold Huai, Li Heng is the secret messenger I arranged to accept the homeless people in the camp camp, he is doing things for me, you can come to me if you have anything. ”
"You still admit it, Geng Zhong, it's not in vain that I think you are a man......" Ma Zheng just raised his eyebrows, and the cold voice of Li Heng came,
"Master Ma, I don't understand that you and Lord Geng have a misunderstanding, but this Xiao Zhu, as an official soldier, can't clean himself, sticks to his gambling addiction, and offends Master Ma. ”
Here comes again! Ma Zheng could no longer suppress the anger in his heart this time, "Li Heng, since you dare to take the lead for him, then okay, let's do it according to the rules of the army! ”
As he spoke, he asked his subordinates to find a dagger and pressed it against one of Li Heng's index fingers, "Have you ever explained anything?"
Li Heng was silent.
With a creak, a severed finger was cut off from Li Heng's palm.
Li Heng's eyes widened angrily, the corners of his eyes were almost cracked, and his cheeks, which were clenched tightly, trembled, but even though his forehead was sweating profusely, he didn't say anything.
Ma Zheng was still reluctant to stop, and broke Li Heng's middle finger again, "Do you want to stand up for him?"
The "he" in Ma Zheng's mouth alluded to Geng Zhong, but Li Heng still didn't reply, Ma Zheng gritted his teeth, squeaked, and cut off his finger, the huge pain was like a sharp cone, piercing Li Heng's heart, he raised his head and roared, after all, his eyes were still dark, and he fell to the ground.
"Play dead?" Ma Zheng wanted to continue.
Lu Jichuan saw that Geng Zhong was about to break out, and Li Heng was so strong, he finally couldn't bear it, and stopped drinking, "Ma Zheng, that's enough! ”
......
The eldest grandson's eyelids are jumping these days, and he is always covered by a sense of foreboding. During this time, she simply stayed by Geng Zhong's side, lingering like a newlywed Yan'er's diet man and woman.
It wasn't until the moon rose in the middle of the sky that Geng Zhong dragged his tired body and returned to his barracks blankly, in front of the pale yellow oil lamp, the Zhu Yu beauty was still waiting. Seeing his man, Changsun Li suddenly had a smile between his eyebrows, but looking at Geng Zhong's sad face, his mood suddenly dropped a lot.
She kindly stepped forward to comfort her, and a pair of white jade hands clasped Geng Zhong's broad shoulders and gently beat them, "Lord Geng, what are you embarrassed about?" Come, let the slave family rub your shoulders for you." ”
Geng Zhong's eyes stared blankly at Changsun Li's delicate face, and after a while, he suddenly plunged into the warmth of Changsun Li's chest, which was originally a very ambiguous action, but unexpectedly, because of Geng Zhong's wail, the taste was completely changed.
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it! My best brother, who was tortured to death in front of me, but I can't do anything, I don't deserve to have such a brother......"
Woo woo woo~
The tears of adult men are easy to heartbreak, coupled with this suppressed howl from the tender iron man he loves, through the clothes, he can also make the eldest grandson feel the grief that is almost desperate. The heart of the noble daughter of the Northern Liang Dynasty was torn apart little by little by the wailing of the captain of the Great Xia Qian.
The tears that the eldest grandson had thought had dried up a long time ago quietly flowed out of the corners of his eyes.
