Chapter 579

(today is just outside the camp. On a flat land at the foot of Zhuque mountain, the corpses of the soldiers who died in the war are buried here. The neat wooden steles are as straight as the soldiers were. They were so proud when they lined up.

This was the first batch of soldiers who died after the black flag army set up camp in Zhuque mountain. Fang Xie personally attended the funeral. He fought against Luchuan, killed 462 people, attacked Boyang, killed 215 people, and explored Hukou stream, and 50 Xiaoqi schools died.

The name on the tombstone is solemn and solemn.

Looking at the neatly arranged wooden tablets, Fang Xie stood quietly for a while. He didn't leave until the sun tilted westward and returned to the conference hall.

Chen Xiaoru's stick wound hasn't healed yet. He looks a little awkward when walking, but the stubborn man hasn't been supported by anyone and holds his teeth. These days, he personally led people to explore Hukou stream and hid outside for three days. Finally, he caught several Hukou stream scouts who came out of Hukou stream to step on the plate.

Fang Xie looked at Chen Xiaoru, took out a bottle of wound medicine from his cuff and threw it over: "the wound medicine that came yesterday and San Jin Hou, something from foreigners, has some effect in curing red wounds."

"General Xie!"

Chen Xiaoru took the wound medicine and his nose was a little sour.

"Bring people up."

Fang Xie gave an order, and several Xiaoqi schools escorted the captured Scouts of hukoujian into the hall. Fang Xie looked at the men. They were all very strong men. It can be seen from the appearance and walking posture of the scouts that they were indeed well-trained people. When they came in, they looked around. Although their faces were not good-looking, they were far better than Dou Tiande and Gao Beidou Those soldiers are much calmer.

After these scouts were escorted up, they stood in line. Xiaoqi school kicked them at the bend of their legs on the shoulder and knelt down.

Fang Xie looked at them carefully and found that one of them had a twinkle in his eyes. He stood up and walked behind the others and said, "open their palms."

Because he was bound with his arms and his palms were behind him, Xiao Qi went to the school to break off the hands of these people and Fang Xie looked at them one by one.

"If you haven't held the knife for more than five years, you won't have such a thick knife cocoon, so seven or eight out of ten of you are not local people of Huangyang road. Huangyang road has no war troops, the county soldiers have long been dissolved, and you are not ordinary people."

Fang Xie said faintly, "you are well-trained veterans, so threats and threats, even breaking hands and feet, may not make you speak. I am also a scout, so I know that scouts are tough men, so I want to ask you questions calmly, and you can answer them calmly."

Fang Xie went around in front of them and looked at the man in the middle: "do you know me? Your eyes twinkle. Have you seen me before?"

This man was the one whose eyes twinkled when he saw Fang Xie just now. When he heard Fang Xie ask him, he would not answer after saying goodbye to his face.

Fang Xie didn't care. He walked back and sat down and said: "If it hadn't been for these troubled times, you veterans still worked in the barracks and received not too meager military pay every month. Your family members would not have to pay taxes because of you. If you can't go up the mountain to have plenty of food and clothing, at least you would have no worries about food and drink. But now, you have to take off your clothes and go into the mountain to be robbers. Although most of the looters are rich families, no one speaks well of you 。”

"I know that real soldiers will not betray their colleagues' robes because of any threat. I didn't want to say anything about exchanging truth for life, but you can think about it. If you die, who will protect your family? If someone is willing to tell the situation in Hukou stream, I'll let all of you leave and give you a sum of money to support your family. Maybe your family You haven't been involved in the disaster of war yet, but since you are qualified scouts, you should see that no one can avoid the disaster of war! Peace now doesn't mean peace in the future. "

With these words, Fang Xie stopped talking.

He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, as if he were thinking.

No one spoke below. The Scouts of Hukou stream looked at each other and chose to shut up.

"If only Mr. Zhuo were here."

After a while, he murmured a sentence, then pointed to the scout who looked at him differently and said, "take him down first and use whatever punishment he should use. If he refuses to say anything within an hour, change another one. If everyone refuses to say, it will improve their integrity."

After Fang explained, he got up and left, as if he had lost patience with these people.

Chen Xiaoru waved his hand and came up to the Xiaoqi school to take them all down. The man designated by Fang Xie was dragged into an empty house and tied to a wooden stake with a rope. Not far from him was a stove, and the soldering iron in it was red. There were whip and stick torture tools hanging on the wall, which seemed to be complete. Chen Xiaoru was a hundred families from the bodyguard's office. I'm sorry about this These instruments of torture are naturally no stranger.

The door was not closed, so the Scout saw several of his companions dragged past after being tied up. He should be locked into other rooms. He is not unfamiliar with this method. Interrogation separately and then summarizing and verifying the confessions is the most basic way. Whether it's the Yamen of local counties, the Dali Temple of the Ministry of justice in the capital, or the people in the bodyguard's office in the University, they are very good at it.

So the Scout also knew what kind of torture he would face next.

He took a deep breath, and before he was ready, a sad cry came from the next room. It seems that the Xiaoqi school in the next room is more impatient. Only when the talents are taken in, they begin to be executed.

……

……

In the second room on the left, the scouts in hukoujian were whipped to pieces by a whip in a short clip, and the whole upper body was black and blue. He clenched his teeth and endured it. His brain involuntarily sounded. He was interrogated like this when he caught the enemy scouts. He was not strange at all, but the role changed.

Soon, the sharp pain made his mind a little blurred, his voice couldn't make a sound, and his throat was hoarse. The standard of tough guys is not to be beaten or not to shout. It's all deceptive. Shouting out because of sudden sharp pain is an instinctive reaction, not that you can keep silent if you want to endure it all the time.

When you bite your lips, you can't even control your voice.

Perhaps the Xiaoqi school opposite him was tired. He handed the whip to another person and sat down in the opposite chair to rest. The second Xiaoqi school came over, smiled at him and said, "you're still a man. Listen, the people on trial in the next room shout louder than you. I've done so many years in the Imperial Guard Office, and I don't meet many men like you. However, the more people like you fight, the more addicted they become. You should understand?"

The scouts know that the Xiaoqi school is right. Because of the things in human nature, the executioners are more interested in the more stubborn prisoners and become more addicted.

But just because of the reminder of Xiaoqi school, he suddenly found something.

Count from the room where you are to the right. There are big or small shouts in each room, one after another, except that there is no sound in the room next to you. It suddenly occurred to him that the former general asked his companions in the next room, "do you know me? Your eyes twinkled just now. Have you seen me before?"

So he felt a sudden panic, followed by anger.

No shouting only means that the guy is not punished.

Why?

Before he had time to think carefully, the whip rained down again. His whole upper body was almost beaten without intact place, and the Xiaoqi school didn't seem to stop. After another quarter of an hour, he still couldn't hold on and passed out in a coma.

A bucket of cold water poured on him and made him regain his mind again.

The first one who beat him seemed to have recovered his strength. He went over and picked up the red soldering iron from the stove. As the soldering iron got closer and closer to him, he felt the temperature on the soldering iron more and more clearly. Just when the soldering iron was almost on his chest and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly because of the burning pain, the general of Xiaoqi school came in from the outside.

He looked up at the man with difficulty and found a smile on his face.

After Chen Xiaoru came in, he waved his hand and ordered Xiaoqi school to stop: "don't use torture again. The general ordered to release these people, find them clean clothes, apply wound medicine, and send them away with 50 Liang silver each."

The Scout of Hukou stream was stunned for a moment and understood what he meant in an instant.

Not long ago, the general said that if one of their scouts confessed, the others could leave.

Is there any other possibility of letting him go now?

Xiaoqi school came and untied him, then casually smeared the wound medicine on him for a while, and threw a suit and a package under his feet: "Put on your clothes. There is dry food and 50 Liang silver in the package. The general is kind enough to let you go. If you persist in your mistakes and return to Hukou stream, you know what will happen. The reason why you are relieved to let you go is that you are not afraid to tell the story of the camp. In Huangyang Road, no one can lead troops to fight here. I believe you know that this sentence is not lying to you Play. "

The school that beat him said coldly before, and then turned and left.

The scout was silent for a long time, but he still endured the pain and bent down to pick up his clothes and put them on. After putting them on, he hesitated for a while, and finally picked up the package and carried it out of the door. When he went out, he saw that the tortured Scouts in other rooms also came out, with the same look of surprise and anger.

But no one came out of the first room and the door was closed.

The scouts got together and understood each other's thoughts from each other's eyes. They didn't talk because they all knew that someone had betrayed them. A Xiaoqi school came up and said coldly: "Follow me and go back where you should go when you go down the mountain. Don't you know how to cherish your life. Even if you don't understand the situation in your HUKOU stream, can't you fight down that tiny place?"

They followed the school mechanically, and no one turned back.

In the first room, the scout who looked at Fang Xie with flashing eyes was pressed and pasted on the window by Xiaoqi school. From the specially dug hole, he watched his companions pass through the window and saw the look on their faces.

Fang Xie sat on the chair, pointed out the window and said in a flat tone: "You should know now that even if you don't say anything, I'll let you go and go back with them right away. Can you still live? You should be glad I chose you, because you don't have to be beaten to pieces. Of course, you can choose not to say anything. I'll send someone to send you outside Hukou jiangukou intact."
