In the room, a man was tied tightly on a wooden barrel. In front of him was a trumpet-shaped lampshade made of paper, a large candle was illuminated in the middle. Except for the light of the candle, there was darkness elsewhere in the room.???
?`
The man was so sleepy that his eyes were fighting, but his eyelids were supported by something, and his eyelids could not be closed. The huge tiredness made him feel that he could not fall asleep, so he could only watch the bright candlelight in front of him.
He didn't know how long it took, but he only knew that he had suffered a lot since he was captured and brought here. He forced himself torture that was constantly on the verge of suffocation. He thought that the next one would be a more cruel punishment. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be the harsh punishment.
The nobles on the grassland like to train eagles to hunt, and there are two sources of eagles: the first is to go to the eagle's nest and take out bird eggs to hatch themselves, and the second is to catch wild eagles to domesticate them. The process is called boiling eagles.
It was a contest between a man and an eagle, which made the eagle not eat or drink and could not rest for several days, making it surrender. He had done this job as a ancestral skill, which was never a ancestral one, so he didn't think the other party could succeed.
However, now he was almost unable to hold on. The other party forced him to drink rice soup so he couldn't starve to death. The wooden barrel sitting in the seat for him to urinate and drown several times was to last a long time. The room was pulled with thick curtains and didn't know the night and day, and the person behind the lampshade didn't say a word, he could only hear his breathing.
It was too quiet, he could no longer bear this quietness. With great fatigue and reaching the limit of his patience, he originally wanted to gossip but had something in his mouth that made him drink rice porridge but could not close his mouth.
"He, He" howled a few times. He said that he wanted the other party to ask questions and then he would gossip and commit suicide after being taken away. However, the other party did not move at all and seemed to have heard nothing.
Because the candle shines on him, he cannot see the movement of the "Eagle" behind the lampshade. After howling for a moment, he actually heard the other person snoring. He became more and more tired as he heard the snoring sound, but he still couldn't close his eyes.
I have never been so sleepy when I was accustomed to slap in the eagle. I was not hungry and could show my tribute at will. It seemed that the other party was very patient and wanted to continue to waste it like this, but the anxiety in his heart became more and more and more, he began to recall the luxury of falling asleep.
Just like a person who is extremely thirsty and can drink it in one go even if he puts a bowl of mud in front of him. Now he is starting to long for a moment to close his eyes. Even if he only counts breaths and then goes to death, he will not have to suffer.
The snoring sounded like thunder pierced the hearts of the people. He couldn't hold on and howled hard, but he couldn't wake up the other person. How long after he was about to collapse, he finally heard the other person's words.w?
"What should I do? I want to give up my respect?"
One of them poked his head out from behind the lampshade and saw that he didn't seem to be a sensation and sat back. He howled for a long time before he realized that he was going to give in.
"There is no time for the businessman. Keep consuming it!"
The other party left a sentence and disappeared for a moment, and snoring sounded again. Seeing this, he was so anxious that he howled, but the other party didn't respond, so he could only twist his body and struggle desperately to hit the wooden basin with his heel.
However, no matter how hard he tried, the other party was snoring. Seeing this situation, he could not stand it anymore. If the other party kept asking him, he would be able to keep exhausted, but now the other party didn't care at all.
They were not trying to ask about things but wanted to kill me, yes, they wanted to kill me!
As soon as this thought was opened, he could no longer calm down and the more he thought about it, the more desperate he felt. He felt that he was just a hawk and the other party seemed to have no concern whether he died or not: forget it if he died.
He no longer had the courage to do it. He just wanted to give in and let the other party take off the things in his mouth and commit suicide. After a while, a person suddenly came in next to him. He thought the other party was here for interrogation and never thought that he was just changing shifts and even said:
"There is no time for the manager, please continue to waste!"
Seeing that he was unable to die, he burst into tears. When he saw this, he asked if he wanted to explain. He nodded with gratitude and tears when he heard this. He didn't know how long he would come in after he left.
"Are you going to ask?" the man asked yawning, and when he saw him nodding, he brought paper and pen: "Okay. I asked you and answer... If you don't think you can't explain clearly, just nod, not just shake your head."
He felt a little cold when he heard this: If the things in his mouth are not removed, how can he commit suicide?
"Don't say it? You're fucking me!!!" The man cursed when he saw his hesitant look, slapped the paper and pen in his hand on the table and walked out, "You play yourself!"
"He, He!!" He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely that he nodded desperately to say that he was willing to say that. The man cursed and cursed and sat down and picked up the paper and pen: "Why? It's over!"
"I asked you and answered it. If I don't think I can say it clearly, I will nod my head, not shake my head!"
He nodded gratefully and didn't want to commit suicide now.?
?`I just want to ask the other party to give me a happy ending, but I can't take care of so many secrets or not.
"Gender, male or female!"
"Name, and your mother's surname..."
"How much do you earn per month...why are you crying!!!"
......
In the front yard, Yuwen Wen looked at the confession he had just sent, while watching the guards practiced arrows. None of the thieves who fell into his "club" could keep their mouths tight under the 'torture expert'.
Those people were indeed sent by Yang Jian. The goal was to get rid of Yuwen Wen. The second goal was that once the Widow Yang in the current mansion was the "person to be looked for" he would have to save the person. According to the confessions of several people, it was clear that Yang Lihua and Annu of his side were unaware of his arrival. The other party had to work hard to get in touch with Annu until the day of his arrest.
"What do you think?" Yuwen Wen asked, and Zhang Ding, the leader of the guard standing beside him, agreed to deal with it because Xiyang is not a crowded city like Changan, and there are few households to monitor.
The number of households in Xiyang City is only more than 5,000. Most people have accents in the Jiangnan area. If there are outsiders, especially those from the north, it is easy to hear it when they speak. If a familiar household in the small town is in the city, it is difficult for strangers to avoid leaking the news.
"With that being said, those people lurked in the city for nearly two months." Yuwen Wen asked back, Zhang Ding said that the other party held a family hostage at home but couldn't care about his butt. Ten people had to eat and drink every day. In this way, the rice bought by this family would be much more than usual.
This is an important clue for him to find the thief's nest. After Yuwen Wen took office, he had to register the hotel and the diners had to stay in the hotel, so he could only occupy the nest, but eventually there would be clues.
"This is not enough. We must prevent problems before they happen. If any big family in the city becomes their inner-comer, we can't touch the fox's tail by just asking about these things."
"What does county duke mean?"
"If the defense in the mansion is done well and strengthened, it will be too much. I am planning to strengthen household registration and public security management to let them get a lot of people."
Zhang Ding didn't say much when he heard this. Seeing that the other party didn't care about it, he thought for a moment and said that this matter was a bit tricky. Yuwen Wen asked what it was when he heard this and asked him what it was. He said that if the other party was assassinating it at the beginning, it might not have been delayed for so long and the success rate was not low.
"Have you ever heard of a group of people from the old Qi Yecheng?"
Yuwen Wen was moved in his heart but his face remained calm. Zhang Ding then said the two words he had heard from his brother: Ye Xiao.
"Is it them? I met them in Jiangling. At that time, I was still wondering if it was hired by Yang Jian, now it seems that this is the case."
Zhang Ding said that among the ten people, including the leader, there were three people who had a pattern of strange bird hunting on their hands, so they were members of Ye Xiao. With their skills, they were able to peek at the mansion several times at night without any damage.
As for being trapped and raided by the mansion guards, the old nest was simply because the gutter capsized for a moment. Because the other party seemed to want to contact Anu first, if the other party launched an assassination as soon as he arrived in Bazhou, it would be not that easy to deal with.
"Monday Duke, Ye Xiao is just a fox and a tiger's power to act under the banner of Emperor Gao Qi, but many of them have real skills, otherwise they would not be qualified to stab the pattern."
'Why are you so clear? Could it be...' Yuwen Wen thought in his heart but was silent. The life of this former boss of the bandit before he became a bride is unknown now. It seems that he is a native of Qi or a kind of story, but he will not ask if the other party doesn't tell him.
If you want to tell a story, even Yang Ji was shocked when I told it!
Yuwen Wen asked what good strategies were there, and Zhang Ding said that there were any good strategies for preventing thieves for a thousand days. Only remember to keep in mind and not be careless. The other three were veterans, but they were both careful and finished playing. So I asked the county magistrate to go on a trip in the future.
"Defense alone is not enough. The situation they lurked in the city for two months must have reached Chang'an. The next time Yang Jian sent him is probably a dead soldier."
Yuwen Wen looked at the guards beside him and thoughtfully: OK, I admit that I was the one who assassinated first, but since you came to the door, don’t blame me for going to Chang'an for something.
Yuwen Wen asked Zhang Ding to select some people from the guards in the mansion and he wanted to send him to Chang'an to "business". The conditions for selecting people are very simple. First, they can change their original accent in a short time and at least protect themselves halfway through their skills. Finally, they must be flexible and adaptable.
Zhang Ding asked when he would want someone. Yuwen Wen said as soon as possible, otherwise he would be afraid that the war would start again. At least ten people would have to strengthen the "training" to avoid being made into human meat bags by the black shop on the way. As for the place where he would settle after arriving in Chang'an, he had his own arrangements.
"By the way, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in the short term when I go to Chang'an. If you want to choose the right one, don't miss your home, you will be frowning all day long, so why bother?"
Based on this confession, Yuwen Wen judged that Zheng Yi's line was useful, so he decided to "recharge" the old friend to prepare for "business". Lianghekou has been separated for half a year. If the old fox does not "recharge" again, the old fox may have to think about it.
Relatives must always move around, otherwise the relationship will be easily unfamiliar, let alone friendships with interests. Although I don’t know the year of the monkey and the month of the horse when I go back to Chang’an, the line laid must be maintained.
The deep sea is in Chang'an, I'm looking forward to it!
......
In the backyard, Yuwen Wen sat on the couch with a bad expression, while Yang Lihua, who wanted to speak but stopped, sat next to him. Annu, who had been renamed Liuye, stood in front of him nervously.
"Tell me, what did you do wrong?" Yuwen Wen said in a stance. His abnormal behavior when Anu was used as bait, causing him to have negative emotions towards Yang Lihua. After all, he later regained his rationality, which was considered to be a solution to this level.
As the culprit, Annu must die. Because Yang Lihua pleads for mercy, he asked Annu to change his name so he would not think of the "unbearable" past when he heard it.
Annu, who changed his name to Liuye, immediately made a review. At that time, she shouldn't have heard so many direct signals from the other party. When she came back, she should have "repentance" to the husband in time instead of just saying it to the side lady.
"The first goal of those people is that I will take the kidnapping. If you are asked to be an insider, then this family will be over!"
Liu Ye knelt down and admitted her mistake. She was only touched by the scene and felt uncontrollable for a while. The imprint imprinted in her heart for more than ten years in the Duke of Sui State's Mansion could not be resolved in a short time.
"From the day when I came to An 6th, the residence of Xiyang County Duke will be your new home. If you think about the past, you will be asking for trouble. If you are the intimate wife of the side, I will let this go, and there will be no next time!"
"I understand."
Yuwen Wen nodded when he saw this. He knew that Liu Ye had been complaining privately. For Yang Lihua's sake, he would not care about it, but he would never tolerate the other party going on like this. If nothing else, he would at least lead other maids.
With Huang Aqi's past lessons, he was very sensitive to the loyalty of the servants in the mansion. People like Liu Ye who were obviously loyal to Yang Lihua and not to him were easily taken advantage of by outsiders.
After beating Liuye, Yuwen Wen cleared the scene and left Yang Lihua. Yang Lihua was only known about Yang Lihua's correspondence through Duke Pei Guoguo Zheng Yi and his mother Dugu Jialuo. Now Yuwen Wen has good news:
"Send someone to Chang'an for a while and write a letter for them to take it there."
