Cheng Jin thought there was no hope for this. Unexpectedly, the king agreed. He was overjoyed and quickly knocked forward and said, "thank you for your kindness."
Tang Yin said with a smile, "I've always been at ease when you do things. Your opinions must have been carefully considered and considered. How can I not pay attention to them? Go and do things!"
"Wei Chen... Leave." Cheng Jin is not a good talker. Tang Yin's trust and importance to him will only be remembered by him, but he can't let him flatter and flatter.
When Cheng Jin returned to the detention place of the assassin and Meng Ping'an, the criminal trial of the hidden arrow had already begun.
In these two small secret rooms, it can hardly be heard that the screams of human voices come and go one after another. The dark and gloomy secret room is full of the smell of blood and the smell of charred skin and meat, which is really like a human region.
Seeing Cheng Jin coming back, Zhang Xiao and Li Tong, one of the leaders of the secret arrow, hurried forward, first bowed their hands, and then asked with a smile, "general, this time we successfully captured the assassin, have we been rewarded by the king again?"
Cheng Jin smiled bitterly, patted his sweat soaked clothes and said, "it's not easy for me to stand and walk back." As he spoke, he crossed them and walked to the secret room where the assassin was interrogated. He asked, "have the assassins explained everything?"
Zhang Xiao and Li Tong looked at each other with a puzzled look on their faces. Listening to the general's meaning, it seemed that they were not rewarded, but almost punished. What's the matter?
Zhang smiled and said, "tell the general that the assassin's mouth is very hard. Up to now, there's nothing... General, did we catch the assassin wrong?"
"That's not true." Cheng Jin said casually, and then said, "I proposed to the king about adding more staff, which made the king very unhappy."
He looked up at the two assassins who were tied to the cross, covered in flesh and blood and almost not in human shape. Then he lowered his head, picked up the water bowl and gulped down a large bowl of water.
Zhang Xiao and Li Tong fought a cold war. They grinned and said, "did the general really mention to the king about recruiting spiritual practitioners of Guangming department? I thought that was the general's excuse to deal with Gao Mucheng."
Cheng Jin shook his head and said, "according to the current situation, the influence of the dark arrow will only be weaker and weaker, even less than the Lieutenant's house and the later Duwei camp. In the long run, it will only decline. If you want to survive for a long time, you must have enough people and do enough things. It is imperative to collect the spiritual practitioners of the bright department." He drank another bowl of water, which made his hot throat feel more comfortable. He asked, "didn't the assassin even say his name?"
Li Tong handed over his confession and said, "general, that's what the assassin said."
Cheng Jin took it and saw that there were only a few words and phrases on it. There were names. One was Xue Kui and the other was Ding Mao. He claimed to be a ranger of Mo country, but there was nothing else.
"What the hell is this!" Cheng Jin looked at it and threw the confession aside.
"At first, their mouths are hard. In a few hours, they can't stand it." Zhang said with a smile. Li Tong asked, "general, did... Did the king agree with the general's advice?"
Cheng Jin nodded, then immediately shook his head and said, "the king just said to have a try."
Li Tong was stunned for a moment and then said happily, "doesn't that mean the king has agreed? I'll say it. The king values the general so much. The king shouldn't refuse the general's advice..."
Before he finished, Cheng Jin turned around, his face sank, and interrupted, "put away what you just said. It's a big taboo to be proud of your pet. You can't say anything similar in the future!"
Li Tong was startled and hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "yes, general, it's my subordinates who made a mistake."
Cheng Jin asked again, "what's the situation with Meng Ping'an?"
"The general asked Gao Mucheng to go to trial, so we didn't intervene." Zhang Xiao replied.
"Well, go and have a look." Cheng Jin takes Zhang Xiao and Li Tong to another secret room.
The situation here is even more miserable than that in the secret room where the assassin was held. Meng Ping'an was fixed on a wooden chair at this time, with only a pair of obscene pants left. On his chest, there were two shocking marks, which were obviously burned with a red soldering iron. Looking at his hands, feet and fingernails, there were bamboo pliers the size of a toothpick. The old man's hair is now scattered, He has been tortured out of his mind, and his nose and saliva keep flowing down.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiao and Li Tong were also secretly shocked and whispered to Cheng Jin, "general, Gao Mucheng's means are cruel enough and more poisonous than our secret arrows."
Cheng Jin smiled. He understood why Gao Mucheng worked so hard. To put it bluntly, he was eager to express himself and wanted to smoothly join the hidden arrow.
As soon as Gao Mucheng woke Meng Ping'an up with a bucket of cold water, he saw Cheng Jin, Zhang Xiao and Li Tong come in. His mouth was very sweet. He stepped forward quickly, bowed his hands to the three people in turn and said, "general! Brother Zhang and brother Li!"
Cheng Jinyang bowed his head, motioned him not to be polite, and asked, "how was the trial? Did Meng Ping'an explain why he harbored assassins?"
Gao Mucheng shook his head, looked back at Meng Ping'an, who was humming with pain, and said angrily, "this old thing didn't say anything, but the general doesn't have to worry. I have other ways. I'm sure I'll let this old thing open."
"Oh? What can I do?" Cheng Jin also appreciates Gao Mucheng's mind. He wants to see what clever torture techniques Gao Mucheng can think of.
"General, please wait a moment and I'll know later." Gao Mucheng deliberately sold his son, let Cheng Jin, Zhang and Li to their seats first, and then poured a bowl of tea for each of them.
After a short time, the door of the secret room was opened, and several soldiers came in from the outside. At the same time, a young woman was dragged in. The woman is only in her early twenties. According to her hair bun, she should not be out of the cabinet yet. Her clothes are gorgeous and exquisite. At a glance, she knows that she is a daughter of a rich family. But at this time, the girl's face was full of panic, and her beautiful eyes looked around in panic, like a frightened little rabbit.
Seeing the woman, Gao Mucheng narrowed his eyes, walked up to Meng Ping'an, pulled his hair and raised his head. At the same time, he smiled in his ear and asked, "old Meng, look who's here?"
Meng Ping'an slowly opened his eyes. When his lax eyes focused on the woman, his body suddenly shook. Before Meng Ping'an spoke, the woman screamed first: "Dad -"
If Gao Mucheng hadn't pulled Meng Ping'an's head up, the woman wouldn't recognize that the old man tortured into a blood gourd was his own father.
With the cry, she still wanted to rush forward, but the soldiers on both sides pressed her down, making it difficult for her to move.
Seeing his beloved daughter in someone else's hand, Meng Ping'an's lifeless face finally changed. He stared round and shouted at Gao Mucheng: "beast, let go of my daughter. If you have any means, just come to me..."
Before he finished speaking, Gao Mucheng's slap had been thrown on the old man's face.
"Old man, this is not the place where you can be arrogant. If you don't know where this is, I can tell you that this is a hidden arrow. It's the place where you stand in and go out horizontally!"
Meng Ping'an bled at the corners of his mouth and stopped talking. His eyes full of hatred stared at Gao Mucheng. Meng Nen's face is so smooth that she won't touch it again. But she won't touch it any more. I don't know if it's a good time for her to walk here As he spoke, his hand moved down and began to untie the rope buckle at the woman's collar.
The woman struggled and screamed as if she had been bitten by a snake, but under the control of the left and right soldiers, she couldn't get rid of it at all. She could only watch Gao Mucheng's hands untie the buttons of her clothes one by one.
The daughter will be humiliated in front of her own eyes. No one can stand it. Meng Ping'an's teeth clenched, his eyes almost cracked, and his throat roared like a beast. Unfortunately, he could do nothing about what was happening in front of him.
Soon, the buttons of the women's coat were all untied by Gao Mucheng, revealing the thin Chinese clothes and petticoats inside, and the pink white belly pocket was also faintly visible.
When the soldiers around saw this, their eyes were about to burst out fire, and their lustful eyes swam up and down the woman.
Gao Mucheng's hand finally stopped. He looked back at Meng Ping'an and said with a smile, "Meng Lao, do you still don't want to speak? If you don't say it again, the brothers around me will be unbearable."
Looking at those fierce wind troops around and listening to his daughter's shrill cry for help, Meng Ping'an's body trembled more and his gums were bitten out of blood, but he still didn't say a word.
Seeing this, Gao Mucheng sighed helplessly, shook his head, waved his hand and rushed to the left and right: "she, I'll give it to you."
As soon as they heard this, the soldiers around them, like hungry tigers, immediately pressed the girl to the ground. The girl could not be seen at the scene. They could only hear the rustle of torn clothes and the scream of the woman from time to time. Soon, the girl's jade legs were lifted from the crowd
"Stop! Stop --" the old man couldn't bear it anymore and roared.
All the girls stood on the ground with their naked eyes on the ground.
Gao Mucheng casually pulled down his cloak and covered the girl. Then he went to Meng Ping'an and said with a smile, "old Meng, tell me what you know. Why do you involve the whole family in suffering because of your own affairs!"
At this time, Meng Ping'an's psychological defense line has been defeated. He shook his head and murmured, "I am not a mastermind in assassinating the king of the wind..."
This sentence surprised everyone present.
