My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 201 Wei Guo’s plan is so heart-wrenching

Very few people are imprisoned in the palace dungeon, and most of those who can enter here are dignitaries.

Or prisoners who played an extremely important role to the king of Xia. The people who tortured them were mostly veterans in the army, who knew where to hit without killing them.

The torch was inserted into the wall, and the dim yellow light illuminated the small execution room. The two tortured soldiers were disabled people who had fought several battles. After they retired, Su Chen transferred them to the house and gave them... take care of.

To have such a beautiful job, they were extremely attentive to King Fan Xia's orders. No matter how beautiful the woman in front of them was when she came in, and how delicate her figure was, they had no idea of ​​pity for her.

The whips dipped in salt water flew from their hands, falling down from their delicate bodies, drawing out traces of blood. Even the once plump pair were covered with scars from being beaten, and the pieces of cloth on their bodies could not cover their private parts.

"Cheng Yu... is very cruel. Although he didn't come... I'm still familiar with him and learned a lot from him."

Guo Jia put down the tea, clapped his sleeves, and when he stood up, the two soldiers who were whipping stopped and stepped away. He walked up to the woman on the stand with his hands behind his back, "Flogging is nothing more than a small punishment. As long as I can't kill you, what's behind this The torture is still very long, very long... Of course, I am not a cruel official, so I will inevitably feel pity for the beauty's pleading."

On the torture rack, Qin Zhen's hair was disheveled, her delicate body was trembling, and blood was still flowing down drop by drop from her nailed hands and feet.

Qin Zhen let her hair hang down and stared at Guo Jia with one eye through the gap of her hanging hair.

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you say it or not. Are you from the Qianlong Mansion of Wei State?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Guo Jia didn't get angry. He still kept a smile on his face, even a little frivolous, "The surname of the master of Qianlong Mansion is Zhao, we have a clan relationship with the Emperor of the Qin family, and you are just assassins adopted and trained by the Qianlong Mansion since childhood, am I right?"

The woman finally made some noise.

"The fight between the two countries is a matter of life and death. Why should my lord waste so much time talking? Just kill me. Even if you want to insult me... let those soldiers take turns, and you won't even get the slightest news from me."

"Yes, the two countries are fighting at any cost. But the girl has forgotten one thing. It was your family that was unkind first, and then the king of Xia later launched an army to attack them. Your emperor is not kind, so how can you speak with confidence?"

Guo Jia walked closer, raised his face, and looked at the woman's pretty face full of scars, "You secretly took a boat from Wei State to Feiyungang, a few big cars, they shouldn't all be assassins dressed like beauties, right?" ? Otherwise, the number of people will not match up. If one car is forced to be packed, the maximum number is ten people, and five carriages, then fifty, but the number of people assassinated yesterday was only more than ten people. They abandoned their weapons and should have brought other things."

For a whole day, Fang Xuejun had gone through all the records of the four entrances and exits in the government office, and finally found several carriages carrying many women, as well as the number of people. However, after being sent to Guo Jia for analysis, he immediately noticed The number of vehicles coming in and out is not proportional to the number of people.

After hearing these words, the woman did not speak or make any move.

But in Guo Jia's eyes, it seemed to contain a lot of information.

Then he continued: "It seems that you really have a second group of back-ups. First, you refused to say anything. This shows that the matter is serious. It is related to the struggle between the Yan State and the Wei State, and it will definitely prevent the Yan State from going south; secondly, in exchange for If you were caught as a common death soldier, you would definitely have poison in your teeth and kill yourself, but you didn't die, and you obviously had accomplices to help you and wanted to escape from the dungeon!"

Guo Jia raised his third finger.

"...Thirdly...you and them have no contact with each other. You were already taking action before the accident, right? Otherwise, why did you tell King Xia that you would have finished your work when the news came from the Shipping Department? However, There is nothing strange everywhere in Yanjing at this time. I believe that your backhand did not directly use the knife to stab, but used another method."

After hearing the analysis of the scribe in front of her, Qin Zhen slowly raised her face, with horror in her eyes.

This look fell on Guo Jiazhong, making him smile even brighter. He slowly backed away and distanced himself from the woman. "Girl, you have to remember that every small movement is a language. I am very satisfied with your answer."

In the execution room, the two soldiers looked at each other in confusion. They didn't understand how the counselor in front of King Xia was satisfied with the other's answer. Didn't he open his mouth to attack?
However, at this time, Guo Jia had already picked up the sword by the wall and tied it to his waist. He said in a faint voice: "Another way will definitely affect the battle between Yan and Wei, and also affect the decision of King Xia... The Imperial Palace , if you can’t get in, then you can only find another way, such as..."

Guo Jia turned around and looked at the woman on the torture rack. "...Civil and military officials, are you right?"

Qin Zhen stared blankly at the scribe opposite for a while, her eyes widened, and she had only one thought in her mind... terrible.This man was so terrifying, as if he could clearly see everything in her heart.

"The words I just said were actually taught to me by my good friend named Cheng Yu. He has a very thorough understanding of human limbs. The trembling of a muscle can represent a person's emotions, and the emotions will Revealing a lot of things. Therefore, what I said is actually not certain, and is used to deceive you, but looking at your current expression... it confirms that the following guess is correct."

The woman on the torture rack was stunned again. Seeing Guo Jia open the door and leave, she screamed hysterically, struggling and twisting on the rack like crazy, trying to free her limbs from the iron nails and jump down to kill the opponent.

However, what greeted her was another whipping by two soldiers.

After leaving the dungeon, Guo Jia was escorted by soldiers and went straight to the atrium. He met Su Chen in the study. The latter was immersed in looking at several paintings of weapons drawn by civil servants. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Guo Jia who came in and looked at Su Chen. He waved.

"Ji Jiu, do you want to make a Han sword again..." Su Chen turned his head and saw that there was no smile on Guo Jia's face, so he threw the drawing paper aside and asked him to sit down on the seat.

"Ask out?"

"The fraud was done, but things have become a little tricky!" Guo Jia poured a cup of tea. He reorganized the guesses and confirmations in the dungeon and told Su Chen in detail.

"The other party must have brought a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. According to the news sent by the princess, there were nearly forty women in the city, but there were only 17 last night...most of them have been sent to the homes of hundreds of officials."

Su Chen's eyes suddenly darkened.

He is not afraid of the other party giving it, but he is afraid of not knowing who is giving it, who will accept it, and who will confiscate it, and how it will affect the plan of conquering Wei. This soft knife is more insidious and vicious than the assassination, even if none of the civil and military officials on his side confiscate the other party's bribe. , but it would also make Su Chen suspicious of Wen Wu, indirectly contributing to the divorce plan.

Moreover, if these beauties sent out really stay, they will definitely become the other party's spies in the capital.

If it is still at the home of an official in an important position, then Yanjing's grain and military movements will be reported back to Wei as soon as possible.

It is still quite troublesome to identify these informants and the officials who were bribed.

It was impossible for him to stand up in the court and yell twice, whoever accepted Wei's benefits would stand up.There is no doubt that no one will admit it. After all, if the other party wants to bribe, they will naturally be very secretive and leave no evidence.

"What if you use wine as a sacrifice to lure the snake out of its hole? Will it be effective if you follow the trend?"

In the candlelight room, Guo Jia stroked his short beard under his chin, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Your Majesty, please do not act rashly and pretend not to know about this matter for the time being. After some time, let those informants settle down and feel that Your Majesty does not know." After the incident, they had the courage to pass on the information.

At that time, your Majesty will deploy our spies, monitor the residences of hundreds of officials, and pretend to mobilize food, soldiers and horses to see who has a lonely person coming out to talk to others. "

"Wei Guo made a good move."

Su Chen sat under the light and said something, and fell into silence again. After a moment, his cold voice squeezed out of his lips and teeth: "... Just do as the sacrificial wine said, and don't come over and don't do anything inappropriate."
