Chapter 366 Civilized people don’t be rough
Zhang Kuang took off his helmet and threw it to the soldiers nearby, and looked at Zheng Qing who was tied up.
"You said you are from Fuzhou?"
"Exactly, the general clearly knows that the young man is from Fuzhou. The enlistment records and the transferred Fuzhou files can prove that what he said is absolutely true."
Zheng Qing looked at Zhang Kuang pitifully, really like a good person who had been framed.
Zhang Kuang circled around Zheng Qing twice: "How did you come to the capital to join the army?"
"I have admired the name of Longwuwei since I was a child, and I hope that one day I can follow the general into battle to kill the enemy. However, after arriving in Yingzhou, the school captain there told me that if I want to join the Longwuwei, I must go to the new army camp in the capital to train. Only those who are more than 10 years old can guard the northern frontier, and those who are young can walk thousands of miles to the capital to join the army."
"You came to the capital on foot from Yingzhou?"
"Yes, I was wronged. I joined the army with a pious heart to serve the country, hoping that one day I could kill enemies for my country. However, these elder brothers actually arrested me as a Turkic spy. The general The little one calls the shots.”
"If what you say is true, I will certainly make the decision for you to severely punish these people."
"The little one never tells lies, the general knows it clearly!"
"What kind of soldier do you want to be?"
"Cavalry, I yearn for the feeling of a cavalryman galloping like the wind."
"It's a good ambition, but being a cavalry requires the basics of riding a horse. Otherwise, it will be difficult to keep up with the training of my fellow soldiers. Do you have any experience in riding a horse when you were back home in Fuzhou?"
"No, my family has a lot of people, so how can I afford such a valuable mount like a horse?"
"Oh, he came to join the army in order to serve the great dragon. He is indeed my great-blooded son."
"The general believes that the young one is not a Turkic spy?"
Zheng Qing looked at Dodian's thinking with joy.
Zhang Kuang nodded gently: "Believe me, General, of course I believe that all the Dalong men who join the army are to serve the imperial court."
Zheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Zhang Feng, why did you join the army in the first place?"
Zhang Feng's face was stunned for a moment, then turned slightly red: "Back to the Marquis, my family is poor and has no food to eat, so I joined the army to have enough food."
"Chen Hui, why did you join the army in the first place?"
"Returning to the Marquis, in order to get promoted and make a fortune, and to honor our ancestors."
"Xu Hao, why did you join the army in the first place?"
"Return to the Marquis for the sake of success and fame."
"What are you doing as soldiers now?"
"The great dragon warrior guards, the soul protects the territory."
He looked at Zheng Qing who was tied to the pillar with amusement: "Have you seen it? This is the real idea. The country is still there, the homeland has not been lost, and those who have not been baptized by the fire of war and talk about serving the imperial court are not ordinary people at all."
Zheng Qing's face changed slightly and she didn't dare to look at the arrogant eyes.
He chuckled, shook his head and gestured arrogantly to the guards: "Remove armor, take off his pants."
"Got the order!"
Zheng Qing struggled with fear: "What do you want to do?"
Tied to the pillar, no matter how hard he struggled, he could not resist the restraints of several soldiers, and Zheng Qing's clothes were still stripped off.
Zhang Kuang didn't hesitate to open Zheng Qing's legs and take a look. When he saw the thick calluses on Zheng Qing's thighs, Zhang Kuang laughed: "Put it on for him."
"You can't have so many calluses without more than five years of riding experience. You just said you have never ridden a horse. Where did these calluses come from? Did you get them from riding with your mother-in-law? Zheng Qing, what else can you say?"
"It's calluses from little bull riding."
Liu Mingzhi, who was standing aside, looked dull. He really didn't expect that Zhang Kuang was as careful as a needle and had such a clear mind.
"Okay, have you ever hunted when you were home?"
Zhang Kuang suddenly asked a question sharply.
"Been beaten...no..." Although Zheng Qing tried to suppress his composure, the panic in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Is there any?"
"Been beaten."
"What gōngnǔ are you using?"
"An ordinary gōngnǔ made by my father himself?"
"What is the string? What is the arrow?"
"The string is the string, and the oily wood is the arrow."
Zhang Kuang opened Zheng Qing's two palms and said, "Your bow string is so strong, it is even more strenuous than Long Wuwei's iron-tied bow. Your fingers are full of vicissitudes."
"I........."
"Zheng Qing, please tell me your true identity. I don't want to be punished. If you tell me obediently, I will spare your life. Otherwise."
Knowing that her identity has been exposed, Zheng Qing calmed down. There was no other way. Zhang Kuang was too shrewd. Zhang Kuang had already doubted his identity and had preconceived notions. He set traps for himself at every turn. On the other hand, what he said was full of loopholes. There is no need to quibble.
But Zheng Qing couldn't imagine how Zhang Kuang found out about his flaws. Ever since he pretended to be Zheng Qing and joined the Longwu Guard, he had been cautious and rarely spoke. The comrades hardly greeted anyone.
Even though he was so cautious, someone still discovered the clues. Zheng Qing really couldn't figure out why.
Could it be that his sleep talking was overheard by his fellow soldiers? Zheng Qing immediately rejected this idea. Not only did he not have the habit of talking in his sleep, but just in case, he never fell asleep first before the soldiers in the same tent fell asleep.
"Can you tell me how you found me?"
"Are you admitting your identity as a Turkic spy?"
"What can you do if you don't admit it? You must have discovered my identity before letting the soldiers arrest me. What's the point of holding on after the matter has been exposed?"
"You are a smart man, and he who knows the current affairs is a hero."
"Now can you tell me how you discovered my identity?"
Zhang Kuang turned around and pointed at Young Master Liu: "This is the one who discovered your weirdness."
Zheng Qing was stunned and looked at Mr. Liu several times: "How did you find out my identity?"
Liu Mingzhi was stunned. He never thought that Zhang Kuang would sell himself out like this. What did this young master find out? I was just suspicious and surprised, okay?
At this point, Mr. Liu shrugged helplessly: "I once heard someone say that the Turks have a habit of carrying water on their backs from the river to prevent being attacked by wild beasts. I happened to see you fetching water when I was passing by the river. I'm just a little suspicious of Shui's behavior. The one who really confirms your identity is the general."
Zheng Qing smiled bitterly and let out a helpless sigh: "Blessed by the wolf god, there will always be a secret in the secret. On weekdays, I have been careful and I didn't expect it, but I still showed my mistakes."
"Tell me, what is your mission in Longwuwei Camp? You are obviously Han, why do you want to be a spy for the Turks?"
Zhang Kuang sat on the chair and looked at Zheng Qing eagerly.
Zheng Qing smiled miserably: "No need to ask, just give me a pleasure."
After saying that, he closed his eyes.
"Are you sure you have to force me to torture you before you say anything?"
Zheng Qing closed her eyes tightly and remained motionless.
"You don't know how to praise me, Lord Marquis. Let me teach this spy a lesson. I don't believe that his mouth is harder than our torture tools."
Zhang Kuang took a deep look at Zheng Qing, who had his eyes closed and said nothing, then picked up the teacup next to him and drank from it, apparently acquiescing to the behavior of a private soldier.
After receiving Zhang Kuang's permission, Zhang Feng grinned and waved the whip in his hand.
"slow!"
Zhang Feng stopped and looked at Young Master Liu, wondering why he stopped him.
Liu Mingzhi examined Zheng Qing for a while and said, "General, this man is determined to die. There will definitely be nothing to gain by execution."
Zhang Kuang put down the tea cup in his hand: "What can you do?"
"Lock him up well without beating or scolding him, and provide him with plenty of meals three times a day. No rice for porridge in the morning, no vegetables for lunch, and water and oil at night. Let him sleep for two hours a day, one hour in the morning and one hour at night. Sleep during the day. Go to a room with a charcoal fire, and let him sleep in an uncovered tent at night. If he doesn't wake up, he'll be tied with a piece of cold ice to refresh himself. If he's not awake, he'll be tied to a pillar and let the people from the archery camp practice archery at the target next to him. Oh! We need to cover our eyes, and we will definitely do it within five days. We are all civilized people, so why bother using violence?"
He looked at Mr. Liu who was talking eloquently with a tangled expression.
Zhang Feng looked at the whip in his hand and the stick on the wooden stand next to him and swallowed: "Actually, the execution is not too scary."
