Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 120
In the execution room, this was the first time Guan Lin interrogated a prisoner, and it was Wei Spy who was interrogated.

He walked up to the desk and sat down, not knowing whether to be coquettish or calm and jerky.

This house belonging to the thief, Cao Cao, can't be regarded as a serious court, but it is more stressful than a court. The interior is small and dark, and it looks gloomy.

There are newly purchased heavy shackles, leather whips, and soldering irons on the wall. Even the stove for baking the soldering iron has a brand new smell, as if waiting for some criminal to try its power.

The indifferent expressions of the two shirtless and strong criminals seemed to be telling the prisoner, no matter who they are?Coming here, all are equal and humble.

Guan Lin sat down slowly. This time, Guan Yinping and Zhang Xingcai did not follow, but stood guard outside the door.

However, the two of them pricked up their ears, listening to the voice.

Guan Lin said: "Take Wei Spy!"

The shopkeeper of the wine shop walked into the execution room slowly. Although his hair was fluffy and the criminals were escorting behind him, his calm demeanor seemed to have seen through everything here, with a certainty.

This feeling... makes people feel that it is difficult to get anything out of his mouth.

When he saw Guan Lin again, he no longer begged for mercy.

And when he saw those instruments of torture, he just let out a long breath.

Surprised and bewildered, he blurted out: "I have already told the lord that I am not a Wei spy, I am just an ordinary person who fled from the north, I... my wife and I both live in Jiangling, how come? Will you collude with that Cao thief?"

Guan Lin smiled and said: "So, you still don't recruit!"

The shopkeeper of the restaurant didn't answer directly, he just looked up at the instrument of torture again.

"Is the official planning to torture you into a trick?"

In the execution room, a flame exploded from the torch, and Guan Lin's eyes flashed with a ferocious look, but soon, the ferocious look dissipated into nothingness, replaced by a well-thought-out brilliance.

"Lao Tzu has a saying, 'All things in the world are born of being, and being is born of nothing', and there is another saying, 'Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things, all things bear yin and embrace yang, and think And, "Once a person does something in this world, it will inevitably affect everything around him. The truth cannot be false, and the false cannot be true. If you are really not Wei spy, why not answer me a few questions?" If you can answer it all? Then..."

Before Guan Lin finished speaking, the shopkeeper of the restaurant straightened his back, "I have a clear conscience!"

He has self-confidence. As the deputy of Cao Weijian's military commander, Cao Yi, and the old man among Wei spies, he is bound to be able to withstand all tests!

On the other hand, Guan Lin stood up, walked up to him with great interest, raised his eyebrows, and began to question him.

"Where is your ancestral home?"

——"Xuzhou."

"what is it call?"

——"Wang Qi!"

"Where is your hometown? How many people are there?"

——"From Shijing Village, Dongwu County, Langya Country, Xuzhou! My wife and I are the only ones in the family, and the others are all dead."

"When did you come out?"

"This..." The shopkeeper of the wine shop obviously hesitated, but he quickly answered, "It was the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao thief attacked Xuzhou in order to avenge his father, and no one was left behind, so... we Dongwu County people fled south one after another, so I fled to Xinye.

"After Cao's bandit went south, Liu Huangshu took the people across the river, and I fled to Nanjun again. Then... I couldn't escape anymore, so... I settled down here."

"Oh..." Guan Linrao nodded with interest, "Langya Kingdom in Xuzhou, I remember that Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, lives in Langya Kingdom, right?"

- "I don't know!"

"Then the hometown of Zhuge Kongming, the military commander of the Han Army, is also in the Langya Kingdom of Xuzhou. You must have heard of this."

——"I am a vulgar family, and I have never studied, how can I get acquainted with such a lintel as the Zhuge family?"

"Oh... haven't studied? Then you can't read?"

——"I don't know, the account books are usually made by my wife, and I am only in charge of the kitchen."

"Then what kind of shopkeeper are you?"

——"Hehe, I'm just putting on a name. My wife is the real shopkeeper. To be honest, at home... my wife is in charge!"

"Oh... If you say that, you can't even write your own name?" Guan Lin smiled, "Wang Qi, there are only six strokes in this name!"

"Let the official laugh, no!"

"Then you just said that people and animals will not be kept where Cao thief passes by, hey, people and animals will not be kept, how can you know idioms?"

"I've been here in Jiangling City for a long time, I learned something from my wife."

"Then are you afraid of death?"

"Scared! Terrified!"

"What did you do when you were in Langya, Xuzhou?" Guan Lin's question began to jump...

"..." Obviously, the shopkeeper paused again, "I'm just a cook, I cook for big families."

"My third sister said that you cook authentic northern dishes! It's delicious!"

"Of course, with this ability, he is a guy who eats."

"Then...do you know how to make wine?"

"…Yes, but not well brewed."

"When brewing wine, you use two dendrobiums of thick rice and one dendrobium of koji. How many bushes and buckets of wine can you get?"

This…

When Guan Lin asked this, the shopkeeper of the restaurant obviously hesitated.

However, he reacted quickly, and quickly replied: "I don't remember, it was all done by the servants... I didn't pay special attention."

And that's the end of the question.

Zhang Xingcai who was outside the door whispered to Guan Yinping, "He doesn't know how to make wine at all..."

"Why?"

"Anyone who has brewed wine, who doesn't know that one brewing uses two dendrobiums of thick rice and one dendrobium of koji, and the wine can only be made at six dendrobiums. How can it be accurate to a bucket? It seems... Brother Yunqi is cheating him!"

Well…

Zhang Xingcai's words stunned Guan Yinping, who quickly asked, "How do you know?"

"My father loves to drink!" Zhang Xingcai replied in a low voice, "So, Mother always brewed it for him... and even taught me, whether it's Qiao Pei's 'Nine Brewed Spring Wine' or Langya's 'Qingyunlang Wine' ', I will brew..."

Oh…

It was only then that Guan Yinping realized that sister Xingcai's mother was a true northerner.

Even, not only the northerners, but also the niece and daughter of Qiao Pei's meritorious Xiahou family in the Cao Wei camp?

It's a noble woman!

At this time, Guan Lin's questioning did not mean to stop at all.

"How much wine can I get? I really don't know?"

"do not know!"

"Oh, I forgot again, you just said where is your hometown?" Guan Lin started a new round of inquiries.

"A native of Dongwu County, Langya Kingdom, Xuzhou..."

"How many people are there in the family?"

"Except for me and my wife, there is no one else in the family."

"Why did you come out?"

"Didn't I already say that? Fleeing..." This time the shopkeeper answered concisely.

"How did you escape?"

"Follow the villagers, drive the donkey cart..."

"You just said that no one or any animal will be left in the places Cao thief passes by. Who taught you the idioms?"

"I... I listened to the guest."

As soon as this answer came out, Guan Lin smiled slightly, "But you didn't answer that way just now, what you said just now was taught by your wife! Why did it come from a guest?"

Now... the shopkeeper of the restaurant was visibly nervous, "All...all of them."

"What's your name?" Guan Lin asked again.

"Wang Qi!"

"Which king?"

"The king's king!" The shopkeeper of the restaurant blurted out following Guan Lin's words.

And as he blurted out this sentence, Guan Lin's eyes narrowed all of a sudden, and he looked directly at the shopkeeper with a smile, "Didn't you just say that you can't read? Then you don't know... the king's 'wang' 'Which king is it?'

This…

For a moment, the shopkeeper swallowed subconsciously.

For a moment, he felt that the smiling eyes of the young man in front of him were simply breathtaking, as if all lies could not escape his eyes, and all falsehoods... would be seen through by him.

at the same time…

Zhang Xingcai and Guan Yinping at the door were both shocked.

Guan Yinping widened his eyes and lowered his voice.

"Fourth brother is right, he really has a ghost..."

Zhang Xingcai nodded heavily, "Otherwise, why would he hide that he can write?"

Before Guan Yinping and Zhang Xingcai could figure it out, Guan Lin's voice came out again. "I have asked questions, answered answers, and played enough. Now... let's talk about business."

Guan Lin's eyes moved upwards, "How can you escape the burning eyes of Ben Cao, don't you plan to recruit?"

"Wei Spy—Nightingale!"

...

...

Luoyang City.

Since Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, it has become an empty city. The empty houses are uninhabited, and some of them still have traces of burning.

On the broad street, a few ragged civilians and unkempt children gathered at the once glorious Hongdumen School.

At this moment, someone is taking advantage of the night to tell a book in front of the ruins of the Hongdu School.

The storytelling in other places is for making money, but the storytelling here is to bring a lonely paradise to the only people left in this empty city.

Historically, Cao Cao rebuilt Luoyang after Guan Yu defeated Maicheng.

And Cao Cao has extremely complicated feelings and double meanings for Luoyang.

First, he buried Guan Yu generously here.

Second, Cao Cao himself came to the end of his life here.

Speaking of, where Cao Cao was buried has always been controversial, but there is no dispute about where he died.

Cao Cao passed away forever in the rebuilt Luoyang City.

Of course, at the moment Luoyang doesn't look like it's going to be rebuilt yet.

The streets are full of broken walls, and the magnificent palace is hideous and dilapidated. Weeds grow in the palace, and rabbits and foxes run around.

Taking advantage of the darkness, a carriage slowly came to the ruins of Hongdumen School, and the woman who came out of it was dressed in red. It was the woman who stabbed the dagger at Cao Cao's portrait in the ground of the Mangdang Mountain Cemetery that day. .

She walked slowly among the people, sat on a stone step, and quietly listened to the storyteller.

anyway…

Storytelling in the north is quite different from storytelling in the south.

Northern storytellers praised Cao Cao, and degraded the Liu, Guan, Zhang and Sun clans;
But the storytelling in the south is completely the opposite. It is Liu who is praised and Cao who is demoted.

The principle of winners and losers applies everywhere.

As for the truth of history?
Does it matter?
The truth in the eyes of the common people is just a story circulating in the market. This is public opinion!
The woman in red remembers that the last time she came here to listen to a book, the storyteller told the story of Liu, Guan, and Zhang Taoyuan becoming sworn brothers and killing each other's family members in order to "seal their hearts".

And once "Feng Xin" came out, it completely overturned his impression of Liu, Guan, and Zhang.

This time... it's about...

The woman in red slowly raised her eyes, the storyteller has just started at this moment.

——"Diao Chan was originally the adopted daughter of Situ Wang Yun. In order to eradicate the rebellious official Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun used Diao Chan as a bait to set up a series of tricks. First, he pretended to promise Lu Bu, and then offered Diao Chan to Dong Zhuo. In the end, he provoked Lu Bu to kill her. Dong Zhuo, famous all over the world."

——"Afterwards, Lu Bu took Diao Chan like a bereaved dog and fled around. In the end, he was defeated by Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and died in Baimen Tower. However, how to deal with Diao Chan became a tricky thing."

——"Prime Minister Cao is a good wife, known all over the world, he naturally covets Diao Chan's beauty, but Diao Chan doesn't like Cao Cao at all, and he just doesn't respond to it."

——"Cao Cao couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he asked Cheng Yu for advice. Cheng Yu had a lot of thoughts, and suggested to Cao Cao, why not learn from Wang Yun back then, and come up with a series of tricks, using Diao Chan as a bait, so as to provoke the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang to discord, In the end, reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Tonight's storyteller is about Diao Chan.

Often the stories of women, especially the stories of famous women like Diao Chan, can arouse the curiosity of men.

Because of this, more than twice as many people came here tonight to learn listening to books than usual.

Most of them are big men in ragged clothes!
On the other hand, the woman in red, when she heard "Diao Chan", her heart skipped a beat, as if the name touched a certain nerve in him.

This also made her eyes open and her ears pricked up, looking forward to the storyteller's next story.

——"Although Cao Cao was reluctant to give away Diao Chan, the most beautiful woman in the world, for nothing like this, he was still a hero after all. After weighing the pros and cons, he immediately made a decision and sent people to spread the news, saying that he would betroth Diao Chan to Guan Yu .”

——"Among the three brothers in Taoyuan, Zhang Fei has the most reckless personality. He ate a little more wine today. When he heard that Prime Minister Cao was going to promise Diao Chan to his second brother, his face changed. The eldest brother Kuang helped the Han family. Brother just wanted to beg his wife, so why did you 'seal' him at the beginning? This is also against the original oath, it really shouldn't be! Immediately ride straight to the small courtyard where Diao Chan is."

Speaking of this, someone who looked like a gangster shouted: "Master Zhang, is he going to take over Diao Chan first?"

As soon as this remark came out, "Hahaha..." everyone roared with laughter.

On the contrary, the woman in red had a condensed expression... between her brows was as dark as water.

"Of course not!"

The storyteller replied casually and continued to preach.

——"It is said that Guan Erye's small courtyard is just separated from Diao Chan's small courtyard by a wall. This evening, Guan Erye was reading "Spring and Autumn" by the moonlight, and suddenly heard a woman crying next door, so he asked the soldier Who is crying?"

——"Soon, Xiao Bing replied that it was Diao Chan who was crying. Erye Guan was thoughtful and asked his subordinates to bring Diao Chan. After a while, Diao Chan arrived, although she looked sad, but she was still outstanding. Known as the country's beauty and heavenly fragrance."

——" Guan Erye sighed in his heart, Diao Chan is so beautiful, no wonder heroes like Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu would kneel under her pomegranate skirt, and now it is rumored that Cao Cao betrothed her to him, most likely with evil intentions, trying to use a series of tricks to make brothers The three of them are at odds, from this point of view, no matter how good-looking Diao Chan is, she is also a villain, so I can't keep it!"

——"Thinking of this, Guan Erye couldn't help but feel murderous!"

Speaking of this, the storyteller paused for a moment, calmly, slowly...

This is just the first half.

But... mentioned that Guan Erye wanted to kill Diao Chan.

The woman in red suddenly became excited, she clenched her fists tightly, and the hasty words came out quickly through her veil.

——"What happened later? Guan Yu... Did Guan Yu really kill..."

An extremely hasty tone of voice...

Don't wait for her to finish speaking.

The other people booed: "It was Diaochan who killed, not you, why are you so excited..."

"me…"

The woman in red clenched her fists tighter in an instant.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end... Finally, she swallowed everything she wanted to say.

It was her pupils, there were a few strands of bright red light in those crystal eyes!
