When the leading man woke up again, it was already dark. He found that the three of him were tied together with hemp ropes and were lying on the smelly cart.
"Hey... you three, are you awake?" As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw He Nan's unhappy face, looking proud. He held a cigarette rod about a foot long in his hand and was puffing away the smoke. "Where was that energy that wanted to kill me just now?"
He Nan has always been fond of tobacco, especially smoking to refresh himself when interrogating prisoners - this is also what he learned from Li Zhanchun. However, he also developed another trick, which was to use smoke to smoke people's eyes. Li Zhanchun didn't like his torture, and later banned him from smoking in Shanhe Mansion. At this time, I finally caught such an opportunity, so I naturally wanted to vent my anger.
The man thought for a while and asked: "Just now... what method did you use to hurt my three brothers? In the restaurant, I clearly heard you saying that you gave the girl in red a Qi Qi powder..."
He Nan snorted coldly and blew out two plumes of smoke: "When I said I drugged her, did I drug her? If I hadn't said that... would you three have come out so rashly?"
Fake...all fake. Ever since the three of them appeared in the restaurant, or earlier, He Nan had noticed the existence of these three people. Going to get fish soup is a lie, writing a note telling Hong Yu to cooperate with him in acting is a lie; sneaking into Hong Yu's hand is a lie, passing the note to her without anyone noticing is a lie; Lengqi San is a lie... luring these three It's true that the goods are coming out.
From the time he left Bai Yujing, He Nan discovered that someone was following him. It wasn't until the three people approached him in the restaurant that he roughly determined the identities of the three people. In a head-on conflict, it would be better if he could defeat the enemy and capture three of them instantly. If not, they would As long as one of the three escapes, the snake will be alerted. So He Nan came up with a plan. He first played a trick with Hong Yu and pretended to have administered Qi Qi Powder to her, making people mistakenly think that the two of them had no means to save their lives. He showed weakness to the enemy, lured the three of them out, and then took advantage of them. With all his attention on He Nan, he took action and subdued the three of them instantly.
Showing weakness and acting... are He Nan's best tricks.
"Three thieves... I finally caught them... Let me tell you, which side are you from?" He Nan sat on the pile of firewood next to the cart and looked at them condescendingly. The expression is very ferocious. He got closer to the leading man and blew out the thick smoke in his face, making him unable to open his eyes. "Since you have been following me since Bai Yujing and you know my name, it means that you are definitely not an ordinary gangster who is motivated by sex. I advise you not to play the trick of heroic sacrifice. Is there anything smaller than your own? Life is still important..."
"Really?" He Nan held a few sharp wooden thorns cut from twigs in his hand, which looked very much like some kind of torture instrument. "You should know what I do, right?"
The man stared at the wooden thorn in He Nan's hand and felt an indescribable feeling of fear. He had been walking around the world for more than ten years, experienced countless battles, and had been slashed by knives and axes countless times, but he always felt that the three-inch long If the gadget is really used on him, it will leave an indelible impression on him throughout his life.
I wonder where this impression comes from those gadgets? Or someone who plays with gadgets?
Beads of sweat as big as fingernails continued to drip down from the man's head, along with the countdown sound from He Nan's mouth. When He Nan counted down to four, the man finally interrupted him: "Okay... I'll say it."
Hearing the man's response, He Nan stretched his neck and shouted upstairs: "Madam! Come down and help me!" Only then did the three men realize that they were in the backyard of an inn.
Not long after, Hongyu moved down slowly, rolled his eyes at He Nan, and said, "Don't take advantage of me."
He Nan said with a playful smile: "If you don't take advantage of your words, how can you take advantage of your body?" Seeing that Hong Yu's face was about to be covered with another layer of frost, He Nan said seriously: "Put these two ears and mouths together Block them and take them to another courtyard. You must keep an eye on the two of them at all times to prevent them from colluding in confession."
He Nan smiled at the three brothers who were tied tightly with ropes in the cart, which made people feel a chill. "I will interrogate the three of you in turn. As long as the answers are different, you will be punished."
After saying that, He Nan pulled out two rags like a magic trick and stuffed them into the mouths of the second and third children. He also picked up a few small cotton balls to plug their ears, and then he and Hongyu lifted the two people. Go to the other courtyard.
He Nan was already out of breath when he came back. Time was tight and I didn't have much time to argue, so I went straight to the point: "Who are you? Who sent you to follow me? When did you start?"
The man hesitated and said: "The three of us are robbers who make a living by robbing roads not far outside the capital. About ten days ago, someone came to us and asked us to go into the city to keep an eye on him. We will keep an eye on your whereabouts and report to him. …”
"Who is that person?" He Nan asked.
"The man was always wearing black clothes with strange beasts embroidered on them. He sounded like a man in a deep voice..."
"Liar." He Nan's face suddenly darkened and interrupted the man. He walked slowly to the man's back and inserted a wooden thorn in his hand along the nail of one of the man's fingers. The nail cap was suddenly stained red with blood.
The man took a deep breath and yelled. There were still some uncut small barbs on the wood thorn, which were now embedded in the flesh. The man only felt a heartbreaking pain, accompanied by an unbearable itching.
"Young man... I really don't know..."
He Nan didn't say anything. He used a little force in his hand to lift the tip of the wooden thorn, took out the second wooden thorn, and did the same thing on the man's other finger.
"I say! I say! The man's face was blue and emaciated, and his appearance was haggard. I heard his followers call him 'Master Chi'!" The man could not bear the pain and had to tell the truth.
Black embroidery, green face and eyes, Master Chi... Is he Chi Zebao among the four general managers of the Tianbian Guards "Tiger, Leopard and Bear?" He Nan secretly thought, just after he went to Qi Dan's banquet ten days ago, Qi Dan still had contact with the Tianbian Guards?
"That person asked us to meet with his men every five days in Bai Yujing's East Market to report the recent situation to his men. We reported your whereabouts to him once before following you out of the capital... this time The deadline is coming soon..." The man groaned intermittently.
He Nan couldn't help but think that he was quite lucky. He had been working in Shanhe Mansion as usual for the past five days. However, he did come into contact with a special person during this period, and I don't know if these three people noticed it. "In that case, do you also know why I came to Yueyue City?"
The man replied, "How can we three brothers sneak into Shanhe Mansion quietly? We can only pretend to be idlers outside the mansion and wait for you to come out every day. However, we know about the hero in Tsing Yi drinking with you. , but we didn’t dare to approach. We only heard faintly downstairs that you seemed to be looking for someone, so we followed you out of the city... Who would have thought that you were coming to Yueyue City?"
He Nan nodded lightly, not sure whether it meant affirmation or something else, "Since your mission is to follow me, why did you rush out again today? Can't you just follow me honestly?"
The man hesitated for a long time, and when He Nan took out another wooden thorn, he said obediently: "In fact, Mr. Chi also told us to kill you if we seize the opportunity, but how can we dare to kill people in Baiyu Jingli? Moreover, killing people is too troublesome. Wouldn’t it be easier for us to pay to keep an eye on you? I followed you from Bai Yujing to Yueyue and didn’t know your details until we heard you and your wife tell you in the restaurant that you don’t know martial arts. , and she was sealed with Qi, and we...were obsessed with lust..." At this point, the man did not dare to say any more.
He Nan burst out laughing when he heard this, but his laughter was never a good thing. "You're a liar...Chi Zebao didn't even want to ask you to kill me, did he? If he wanted to kill me, why not just do it himself? Even if he was too lazy to do it himself, couldn't he find a professional killer? Why did he need you three? Are you a loser to do this? The main reason is that you guys took advantage of it..." He Nan looked at the sky again and sighed to himself, "Sure enough, beauty is a curse..." I don't know who he was talking about.
Seeing that the lie was exposed, the man didn't dare to say anything. He could only lower his head and let it fall, and gasped: "Since you have guessed it, then you can kill or behead him as you please."
He Nan puffed out the cigarette heavily again and said contemptuously: "I said it before, I don't accept the idea of sacrificing one's life for righteousness or killing one's own life for benevolence."
After saying this, He Nan blocked the man's mouth and ears like his two companions, and went to another court to interrogate the two men.
The second among the three men was not as pretentious and easy to tell lies as their eldest brother. Before he was sentenced, he spilled everything like beans poured out of a bamboo tube. These three people are indeed fierce bandits running around the capital, known as the "Three Fierce". These three people came from a second-rate martial arts sect. They were expelled from the sect for being lustful and hurting others, so they became thieves. And Master Chi didn't just find them ten days ago. There were many people in the Tianbian Guard who were introduced to Chi Zebao by a person who was familiar with the three of them a few months ago. Chi Zebao had always been in the habit of taking in some people from the martial arts world for his own use. When he saw that the three of them had some martial arts skills, he took them as his eyes and ears. On weekdays, the three of them also do some robberies, and some matters that are not convenient for Chi Zebao to handle in official circles are left to these unofficial people.
The other things were consistent with what their boss said. These three people started to monitor themselves ten days ago and met with Chi Zebao every five days. It was natural for them to suddenly intercept He Nan and Nan today. As for who instigated Chi Zebao to act like this, the three of them had no idea and did not dare to ask. They only thought that Master Chi and He Nan had a personal grudge.
After listening to He Nan, he thought that it was not far from what he had guessed in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel funny in his heart - Chi Zebao was a lustful ghost. He didn't expect that his subordinates had the same problem as him. He was really not. The whole family does not enter the same door.
Looking at the obedient dick, He Nan tortured him with a cold face, this time stabbing five wooden thorns into him. The second child was already crying bitterly, and shouted vaguely: "I have confessed everything, why are you still torturing me..." He Nan did not answer. After the punishment, he blocked his mouth and ears and did not look back. He rushed towards the place where the third child was.
Hong Yu was lighting a candle and reading by candlelight. Seeing He Nan come over, he closed the book in his hand and asked, "Have those two been reviewed?" He Nan nodded, sat next to Hong Yu, and looked at The third child, who was curled up on the ground, said: "There is no need to go to trial on this."
Hongyu asked curiously: "Why?"
He Nan said: "I have already said what they should and shouldn't explain, and I have a rough idea in my mind. The boss tried to trick me several times, and I gave him two wooden thorns, and the second brother had a bunch of snot in his nose. With tears in his eyes, he told me everything except his family tree... I gave him five..."
"So much?" Hong Yu asked in confusion, "How come the more you say, the more cruel you become to him?"
He Nan pretended to be profound and said: "Why do I have to pull a cart? I am sure that I can capture these three thieves and take them back to let my master do whatever he wants. According to the master's character, he will definitely not let these three thieves go." Three people. But everything should be done just in case. My current measures are to prevent the three of them from escaping by chance or someone helping them escape from prison. The three of them will also be busy fighting among themselves, thereby reducing the threat to me. "
"This third child, I will not interrogate him, nor will I torture him, but I will treat him with good food and drink all the way. The boss is the most central among the three. He hid a lot of details from me, and also told me about it. These lies were still tortured by me, which will inevitably cast doubt on the unscathed third child - did he escape death by telling the truth? The second child was the most seriously injured and would not be suspected, not to mention that he was the informer. Why would you confess to these two people? How could the third child be willing to admit his guilt when faced with all kinds of doubts from the boss when he had clearly never said anything? These three people have bad conduct and have their own agendas. They are not brothers who can share the joys and sorrows of life and death. , how can we talk about being honest with each other?"
"The boss is suspicious of the third child. The third child feels wronged, while the second child is full of bitterness but dare not speak out..."
After listening to He Nan's explanation, Hong Yu understood the reason why he did what he did, and she couldn't help but have a slight change in her heart - this guy is quite reliable at critical moments. Not only is he thoughtful, but he is also worthy of being Li Yushi's beloved disciple with his "disturbance" skills.
In the next few days, the two of them were very polite to Lao San as He Nan said, while the other two could only eat Lao San's leftovers. This made the eldest child even more suspicious, and the second child even more uneasy. The eyes he looked at the third child also changed somewhat, until one man and one horse pulled a cart and saw the south gate of Bai Yujing.
On the way back, I carried these three encumbrances with me and couldn't match the speed I had gone on. It was already Xu Shi on the fifth day of the return trip. He Nan poked his head out of the carriage and looked at the nearby South City Gate, but both of them saw someone who was quite familiar to them.
Under the south gate of Bai Yujing, there was an old man standing with his hands behind his back. He is tall and tall, with a long beard that reaches to his chest. He stands tall against the mountains and mountains. He is not angry and has authority. He is He Nan's master and Hongyu's commander.
Li Zhanchun has been waiting here for a long time.
