Inside Cao Ren's mansion, the lights were brightly lit.
The generals were all standing on the corridor, and Song Xin and Chen Jiao were already standing behind him.
On the flat ground in front of the government office lobby, Lu Junqin had been dragged by two soldiers and stood upright. He was still unconscious, being manipulated like a puppet.
Cao Ren raised his chin and said, "Walk him awake."
Then a bucket of cold water was poured on Duotou, and the unconscious Lu Junqin suddenly woke up. After he was knocked unconscious, his eyesight had not yet recovered. He could only see patches of bright light all around him, as if he was in a mosaic dream.
Gradually, he saw the surrounding situation clearly and understood his situation.
"Cao Ren, I didn't expect that I would fall into your hands." Lu Junqin said with a smile on his face without any fear.
"Humph, you are Lu Junqin, what else do you have to say?"
Lu Junqin spat and laughed: "Haha, Cao Ren, don't think that just because you caught me, you can humiliate me. Lu is from a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, so you are nothing. You are just a barbarian from Qiao County."
"What did you say!" Niu Jin beside Cao Ren was furious. He pressed the hilt of his sword and wanted to kill Lu Junqin with one sword.
"Hey, don't be angry." Cao Ren held down Niu Jin and said with a smile: "Hey, haven't I, a barbarian from Qiao County, caught you, a miserable son of a wealthy family in Jiangnan?"
"Hey, so what? Even if a gentleman is in trouble, how can a villain laugh at him? Cao A'hao, after being an eunuch, you, Cao Ren, are just taking advantage of the eunuch, what are you proud of?"
Song Xin heard that this man was belittling Cao Ren's identity, and he couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that even a famous general like Cao Ren would be called a savage... No matter how powerful you are, if your background is not as good as him, you will be called a savage." I will never look down upon you.”
Song Xin felt unhappy when he thought of this, "A dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son can make holes. In any era, people are always happy to set up class barriers. In modern times, it is just a different form, regardless of origin. , it depends on whether you have money.”
When he was thinking wildly, he heard Cao Ren suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Mr. Lu, you don't have to show your origin here. Since you have become a prisoner, just accept your fate. If you are willing to tell the story about the movements of the Confederate Army. Come out, maybe I will let you go back."
"Cao Ren, you can kill if you want. You have deployed Jiangling's troops in a weak and strong manner. Lu has already sent them out. Hehe, there may be a defense map of your city on Governor Zhou's desk now. I am a descendant of the Lu family. , how can he be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? I just don’t know who I am, Lu, I am captured by, if I can see him, I will be willing to die. "
Cao Ren turned to look at Song Xin and said, "Song Xin, please come out, Mr. Lu wants to see you."
When Lu Junqin heard the name, his face suddenly stiffened, "You...what's your name?"
Then Song Xin took a step forward and said, "I am Song Xin, a lowly soldier from Jiangling. I am from a humble background, but if I can catch a big shot of the Lu family, I can go back and brag about it."
Everyone roared with laughter, "Yes, I, a mere pawn in Jiangling, can capture a big shot of the Lu family. It seems that the Lu family is just mediocre."
Lu Junqin laughed miserably and said: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. If it weren't for you, I would have left Jiangling long ago. If I had taken action earlier, how could you be here to show off your power today?"
Song Xin had already guessed that when he heard the conversation between the two people in the tunnel, he should be the one to be killed. This Lu Junqin was also ordered to kill Song Xin before he could leave.
After everything was over, Song Xin said: "Even if you took action earlier, it would only be a few more corpses."
"Hmph, our Lu family has many dead soldiers. Are we afraid that we can't get rid of you, a brat from a humble background?"
A cold light flashed in Song Xin's eyes, and he said contemptuously: "Indeed, if all the dead men of the Lu family dug holes under my bed like this, I would naturally be extremely scared."
"you..."
"What am I? Isn't what I said wrong? You rely on your noble birth and look down on others. If you meet someone with a better background than you, you will definitely be a slave. A villain like you, a prisoner of the lower class, what else can you do? He is not qualified to show off his power here, but he is not a dog with a broken spine, so why is he barking here? I have never seen such a shameless person!"
Song Xin suddenly remembered what the upright teacher Tang Guoqiang had said about Wang Lang, and he couldn't help but blurt out.
But at this time, most people, especially those from noble families, were more concerned about face. Hearing this almost spitting curse, and being scolded by this humble soldier, Lu Jun was so angry that he almost vomited blood. .
General Cao Jun's side was also quiet. He heard Niu Jin whisper: "Hey, dear, this kid is also good at swearing. Lao Niu has seen it."
Even Xiaoyu said secretly: "Song Xin, where did you learn to curse?"
Song Xin almost said that Teacher Tang Guoqiang taught him, but she still endured it, otherwise Xiaoyu asked who Teacher Tang Guoqiang was, how should she explain...
At this moment, Zhao Da walked in, followed by soldiers holding more than a dozen bamboo tubes. When Lu Jun saw these bamboo tubes in person, a hint of cunning slipped over his face. His expression immediately changed and he stared at the bamboo tubes on the plate.
"General, Lord Changshi, we found some letters in the city in the enemy tunnel, and they were all in these bamboo tubes."
After saying that, he turned aside and the soldier came forward with a bamboo tube.
Lu Junqin's face was ashen at this time. He watched Cao Ren pick up a bamboo tube, unscrew the wax seal on it, and take out a letter. After reading it carefully, Cao Ren tilted his head and stared at Lu Junqin and said: "Master Lu, it seems You have a close friendship with my generals."
Song Xin scanned these bamboo tubes with his spiritual consciousness and found that they were all written on the same paper or silk, which felt a little strange.
"Yes, according to the letter, arrest everyone, interrogate them strictly, and engage in military law!" Niu Jin shouted.
Xu Huang stepped forward to take the letter and read it, then picked up another letter, his eyes scanning back and forth on Lu Jun's letter from time to time.
"It seems that General Xu Huang also feels something is wrong."
Song Xin thought to himself, staring at Lu Junqin, trying to catch some subtle expressions on his face.
But this man always looked sad. I don't know if he was really depressed or was acting on purpose.
At this time, many people were encouraging Cao to arrest people according to the letters, "Mr. Ji Bi, look at these letters..."
Chen Jiao said: "Now count all the people and check them one by one."
At this time, Song Xin finally caught a sly smile on Lu Junqin's face.
"That's not right!" But to put it bluntly, Song Xin was just a small soldier, and he couldn't stop the commander's and the general's orders.
At this time, Cao Ren suddenly turned around, looked at a general behind him and said, "Cheng Wu, is this letter written by you?"
The general was obviously startled. His face suddenly turned pale, and sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead. "General, how could I..."
At this time, Lu Junqin suddenly laughed, "Hahaha, General Cheng, you said you wanted to give me Cao Ren's head, why did you forget?"
Cheng Wu was surprised at first, and then he shouted angrily, "Mr. Lu, you are spitting blood."
After saying that, he knelt down with a swoosh and said with tears streaming down his face: "General, Cheng Wu has been following you in the war for fifteen years. When have you ever seen Cheng Wu do anything rebellious? This must be a frame-up by the enemy."
At this time, many people around Cao Ren knelt down and said: "General, General Cheng has followed you in the army since he was fifteen years old. He will never do such a thing of selling out for glory. Please be careful, General."
When Song Xin heard that he was fifteen, he immediately had an idea. He coughed lightly and said, "General, there is a way to verify this."
When Niu Jin heard this, he said anxiously: "Oh, tell me what we can do."
Song Xin walked up to Lu Junqin and asked, "Mr. Lu, is this letter written by General Cheng?"
"Huh, this is natural."
"Okay, General Cao, can you get some pen and paper?"
