The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

"Smash a finger, hit it hard, if you pass out, you will wake up with cold water." ()" Xiao Temo shouted.

The four tigers picked up the hammer and smashed the ring finger of the skinny party member one by one. Unexpectedly, this time the party member neither passed out nor screamed wildly; Twisted, biting his lower lip tightly with his bare upper gums, a muffled roar like a beast came out of his throat, the sweat on his face was like white wax underneath.

"Keep smashing, I don't believe it anymore, it's really made of iron and copper?" Xiao Temo was enraged by this recalcitrant attitude again, jumped up and snatched the hammer from Sihu's hand to do it himself.

Su Jin couldn't stand it anymore. Under such torture, there are few people in the world who can be so tenacious and unyielding. Su Jin asked himself, in such a situation, if he was in his position, would he be able to hold on?

The answer is obvious, if it is for the life and death of my relatives, I may be able to endure it, but if it is for Li Yuanhao and Zhao Zhen who are kings and emperors, that is impossible; if the hammer has not fallen, I am afraid that I have already recruited.

I can't do it myself, but others can do it. Su Jin greatly admires this man, and can't bear to let him be tortured again, and wants to spare his life; Water stains, it is obvious that you peed your pants in fright, once you pee your pants in fright, the psychological defense line is not far from collapse; intuition tells Su Jin, let this tough party member be spared, and break through from another person It's serious.

"Wait a minute!"

Su Jin stopped the crazy Xiao Temo in time, and Xiao Temo raised his hammer and said angrily: "Deputy envoy Su, don't worry, this envoy won't hurt his life, give this envoy a little more time, and he will definitely speak." .”

Su Jin stepped forward with a smile, reached out and snatched the hammer from Xiao Temo's hand, and said, "I don't want to waste time with him, I suddenly feel that it's okay if I can't ask for a confession, the purpose of these party members is actually very clear to anyone who is not a fool .”

Xiao Temo said in astonishment: "I don't know clearly."

Liu Liufu coughed for a while, and thought: Idiot, isn't this a self-professed fool?

Su Jin smiled and said: "Master Xiao is humble. Didn't you just say that? Yuan Hao sent people here because he knew that Song and Liao were negotiating. Their purpose was to sabotage this negotiation and let Song and Liao The two countries have turned against each other; in connection with the fact that the Western Thieves are at war with our Great Song Dynasty, this is to provoke a war between the Song and Liao countries, and they just want to take advantage of it."

Xiao Temo said: "It seems to be such a reason."

Su Jin smiled and said: "It's not like, but the fact is. These people came here to kill you in Bianliang City, and then put the blame on my Song Dynasty; just imagine if you died strangely in this post, Can your Liao Kingdom give up? Even if you didn’t intend to attack at first, I’m afraid you will send troops south to take revenge this time.”

Xiao Temo's eyes widened and he said: "You mean their purpose is to kill this envoy?"

Su Jin smiled and said: "Isn't it you? Are there other people? The poisonous daggers and tasteless poison they prepared were all prepared for themselves? They pretended to be tolerance and incited the people of Bianliang to be hostile to you, and they were designing a It's just a trap."

Xiao Temo kicked the party member lying at his feet fiercely and cursed: "A bunch of thieves dared to move their own ideas. Grandpa smashed your heads with a hammer."

Su Jin waved his hand and said: "So it doesn't matter whether there is a confession or not, and this person is stubborn. You smashed his two fingers and he didn't speak. I guess it is absolutely impossible for this person to speak, so I don't want to be in This person is a waste of time; if he wants benevolence, I will let him get benevolence, Dynasty, and take him out for custody. Tomorrow morning, I will put him in the death row of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and after reporting to the Holy Majesty, I will chop off his head."

Chao Chao strode forward, picked up the limp body of the party member on the ground, brought it to the gate of the posthouse, and handed it over to the accompanying soldiers to guard and guard.

Xiao Temo said: "Deputy Envoy Su, I admit that your analysis is reasonable, but it is speculation after all, and a confession is still required, otherwise there is no way to report it to the higher authorities."

Su Jin said: "That's right, you might as well bring that fat man here for interrogation, maybe he will confess." Then he leaned into Xiao Temo's ear and said, "That man peed his pants in fright, just scare him."

Xiao Temo walked to the fat party man, and saw that the man's crotch was wet, and there was a puddle of stinky water stains on his body, he pinched his nose and cursed: "You useless thing, This scares the pee, it's your turn; let me ask you, do you want to recruit?"

The fat party member's eyes were full of fear and hesitation, he didn't dare to meet Xiao Temo's eyes, and turned his head to look at the ground.

"It seems that I blamed you wrongly. It's not that you're useless. You're just in a hurry to pee. You're a hero just like them. Anyway, let's smash your teeth first, then your fingers, and then I'm going to help you lose weight. You have a lot of fat on your waist. I will order someone to cut you a dozen knives, and I will surely dig out all the fat on your waist. By then, you will be as light as a swallow, and you will become a handsome young man .”

The fat party member was so frightened that he almost fainted, he peeked over, and saw that this ferocious guy had already copied the inkstone in his hand, and one corner of the inkstone was covered in flesh and blood, and the corner was smashed apart.

Two tigers and three tigers stepped forward to lift up the fat Dangxiang man, Xiao Temo stretched out his hand and pulled the cork away, he laughed and said, "This job is getting smoother and smoother, I'm going to be addicted to it, it's the same sentence, Don’t move around, don’t blame me for being unskilled if you knock your jaw off.”

The fat party member was weak all over, relying on two tigers and three tigers to support his body, Xiao Temo's ferocious smile was in front of him, seeing him round the inkstone and smashing it with the sound of wind, his pants were so scared , peed all over again.

With a "click" all over his body, seven or eight teeth flew out, and blood spewed out of his torn gums like a spring in the ground. The fat party man was poured into his trachea by his own blood, making him cough loudly , the mouth is like a water sprinkler on a rainy day, constantly spraying blood.

Xiao Temo showed no mercy, the inkstone was raised high, and fell down again; the party member couldn't take it anymore, he murmured what he was doing, nodded his head repeatedly, and twisted his body violently.

Xiao Temo thought that he was afraid to struggle and dodge, so he slammed it down without stopping for a moment. Su Jin saw the clue and shouted: "Stop, he seems to have something to say."

Xiao Temo hurriedly stopped, the inkstone stopped abruptly beside the cheek of the party member, he stopped as soon as he said, but he had some skills.

The party member was sweating profusely, his eyes were white, and he passed out.

A ladle of cold water was poured, and the fat party member woke up. He found that his mouth was blocked by a cork again, and his body was also tied to the porch pillar. In front of him was the young official who shouted to stop, and beside him was a The little official dipped a brush in the ink and was staring at him intently.

Seeing him waking up, Su Jin smiled and said, "Brother, congratulations that you are still alive; I didn't want to gag your mouth at first, but I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to think about it for a while, so I think it's better to gag it; if I ask you next time, you can Answer by shaking your head or nodding, I think you are very aware of the current situation, you are party members, but you should also know that there is a saying in our Song Dynasty that is "a man who knows the current affairs is a hero", and another saying is "take a step back and open the sea and the sky" , as long as you cooperate, your life will be preserved."

The party member nodded repeatedly and whimpered.

Su Jin said with satisfaction: "Very good, the first question, are you the dead soldier sent by Xixia Li Yuanhao?"

The man hesitated for a moment, and saw the fierce Xiao Temo reaching out to touch the inkstone again from the corner of his eyes, and nodded hurriedly.

Su Jin said: "Very good, you can speak my Song Dynasty official dialect, then can you write Da Song characters?"

The man nodded, and Su Jin said with a chuckle: "That's easy. Next, I will untie you and give you a pen and paper. Then you will tell the purpose of your coming from Xixia, who is assigned, and how many people you have. Write down the names and identities of these people, and where they live now. You also know that at this time, playing tricks is against yourself; I will order people to prepare clean clothes and pants, and burn a barrel Hot water has set up a table of banquets waiting for you, and also prepared a box of silver ingots. The amount is enough for you to live a carefree life. After you finish writing, you can take these and go away with them. You can go wherever you like. Where to go, I guarantee that no one will stop you."

Fu Bi leaned into Su Jin's ear and said, "How can you let him go, he is a witness."

Su Jin smiled and said: "There are many witnesses, the two dead are witnesses, we can't make mistakes." Su Jin deliberately said this sentence louder so that the party members could hear it, and the man finally Dispelling his worries, he nodded again and again.

Su Jin smiled and said, "Very good, then please sit down."

The soldier stepped forward to untie the rope tied to the colonnade, untied his right hand, and led him to the table. The party member picked up a brush dipped in ink and began to write crookedly.
