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

Chapter 38 Jiangling has a "Hong Qigong"

Jiangling City, criminal chamber.

Zhou Cang held the knife for Guan Yu for so long, and it was the first time that he presided over the interrogation of a "prisoner", and the prisoner he interrogated was still a beggar.

Overnight, the entire Jiangling City was covered with "false notices".

Apparently, this was a deliberate move.

After some investigation, Zhou Cang locked a beggar.

Someone saw something late at night, it was the beggar who posted something on the city wall.

Therefore, the beggar naturally became the breakthrough point of "this case".

Zhou Cang walked to the desk and sat down.

When interrogating the prisoner, he was somewhat jerky, interlaced like a mountain.

What made him even more nervous was that in the next cell, Guan Yu, Ma Liang, Guan Ping, Guan Xing and others were guarding there.

Although the "Notice" plastered all over Jiangling City is fake, the three seals and ribbons are all available, and the pictures and texts are exactly the same.

And the content of the announcement is closely related to the ownership of Jingzhou.

This thing is too sensitive.

Everyone wants to know, who instructed this beggar?

Is it Cao Cao in the north?

Or Sun Quan in the east?
...

This room can't be regarded as a serious court, but it is more stressful than a court. The interior is extremely dark because of its small size, and it looks gloomy.

There are heavy shackles, leather whips, and Luotie on the wall...

The charcoal fire in the basin was burning red, and there were strong and shirtless criminals standing on both sides.

Their indifferent expressions seemed to tell the prisoners that no matter whether they were princes, nobles or beggars, they were all equal and humble in their eyes.

"What's your name?"

"Two dogs!"

"Who instructed you?"

"I don't know what the official is talking about?"

Zhou Cang had a conversation with the beggar.

With a "bang", Zhou Cang jumped up, "You know why they sent this general to interrogate you, it's because this general is the most impatient, if you don't recruit..."

Zhou Cang directly lifted the soldering iron in the brazier, as if he was going to beat him up.

The beggar named "Ergou" kept shaking his head, "Master, I, I don't know what the Lord is asking?"

"The general reminds you, you posted those notices in Jiangling City, right? Tell me—who instructed you to post them?"

Zhou Cang's eyes widened, and he wanted to use these tiger eyes to frighten the beggars in front of him.

Once the beggar is frightened, the next step will be easy.

Unexpectedly, the beggar just nodded slightly, "I posted it! But no one instructed me!"

The grace of dripping water is reciprocated by the fountain.

In ancient times, even beggars would practice this most basic principle. They had the simplest bottom line. Whoever gave them food and clothing, they would never betray anyone.

"You beggar? Where did you get these notices? Said there were no instructions."

Zhou Cang's trial became more and more handy, and his tone became more and more cold.

"There is no instruction, I just don't have any instructions, I just think it's fun, I just stick to it." The beggar gritted his teeth and kept repeating the same sentence.

"It seems...you won't shed tears when you see the coffin." Zhou Cang raised the scorched red iron.

The beggar shed tears, the same sentence...

If he doesn't recruit, he is the one who suffers, but if he recruits, those brothers who are begging together, and... and that "son" will suffer, he can clearly understand this.

It was Guan Yu in the cell next door, his brows were fixed, and his Danfeng eyes were almost narrowed.

He has realized that this matter is not simple.

This is a trick!
"Baimei..." Guan Yu looked back at Ma Liang.

"Guan Gong." At this moment, Ma Liang was also frowning. He thought further. Now that the incident had happened, there were notices posted all over the city.

Then...

Soon, people in Jiangling City, Jiangxia, Guiyang, Changsha, and even the entire Jingzhou will know about it.

Even if this "announcement" is "false", but with such a spread, the fake may become true.

And whether it is Cao Jun or Soochow, they can make a big fuss about it!
This is what worries Ma Liang the most.

"What do you think?" Guan Yu sighed.

Ma Liang pondered for a moment, and suggested: "Don't let General Zhou use torture. How miserable are these beggars? Now that he can do things for others, he must have gained a lot of benefits. You can see from the robe he is wearing. .”

"Knowing how to repay his kindness, coupled with the fact that there are many people involved behind him, even if he is tortured, he may not confess, but..."

Ma Liang rolled his eyes and paused.

Guan Yu quickly asked, "It's okay for Baimei to speak up if he has something to say."

"It's better to let him go than to punish him!"

"Release?" Guan Yu looked at Ma Liang in surprise.

You know, these beggars' notices are extremely secretive.

After investigation, only this one was found, and this was the only clue.

Ma Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and said with emotion: "Only by letting him go, can we see who he is in contact with? From their conversation, we can hear some clues and find out who is behind this scene!"

Ma Liang blurted out these words, Guan Yu's eyes gradually opened, and he took a deep breath.

After ten breaths of silence, he waved his big hand and chanted:

——"Let people go!"

...

...

In the early morning, the dawn is not yet clear.

The beggars gathered in twos and threes outside the prison gate of Jiangling City.

Seeing that the "two dogs" were released, they hurriedly went up to them.

A handsome beggar quickly grabbed "Ergou"'s hand and asked nervously, "Did you say anything?"

Ergou shook his head and whispered softly: "I understand the rules, but I didn't say anything."

"Then they let you go?"

Another beggar asked in surprise.

"I was going to hit me, but for some reason, I didn't hit me in the end, and let me go..."

Ergou's words relieved all the beggars.

The beggar head said with emotion: "It's fine if you don't say anything. From now on, you don't want to see 'Hong Qigong' and the 'old man' again. He has already brought today's noodle cakes and bedding. We specially keep the share."

"It's just that the old man doesn't know about you yet, so we can't let our benefactor worry about it!"

While talking, the beggar repeatedly patted Ergou on the shoulder, and Ergou nodded sensiblely.

Of course, "Hong Qigong" is not an old man, the reason for calling him this is the agreement of these beggars.

Although they are begging, they also have some rules.

For example... when begging, stay three steps away from people to avoid passing plague and bad luck to others;
For another example, Guan Lin mentioned to them, "Don't let others know who he is? What does he look like!"

The beggars naturally respect him, and usually use "old man" instead of Guan Lin when referring to him.

This time, because I didn't pay attention, I said the word "Hong Qigong" too much.

Although, this is just a small episode.

Can…

After the beggar leader's words fell, the eyes of the coachman who was pushing a cart of vegetables to the cell suddenly widened, and the brilliance in it flickered.

However, this was only a momentary thing, and soon, he continued to yell at the officers and soldiers in front of the cell.

"The dishes are here today, they are all full, please take a look!"

Except for this driver...

There is also a woman who looks small and cute, she doesn't look like a local, she was also guarding outside the cell, weeping from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone.

And when the three words "Hong Qigong" came out of the mouth of the beggar.

Her sobbing stopped abruptly, and her eyes casually and meaningfully glanced at the beggar.
