The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 84

The capital Kaifeng, outside.

Many prefectures and counties around the capital are very rich. As long as they travel fast, grain can be transported to the capital within three days. Moreover, Kaifeng is well-connected, and anyone can enter the capital by water or land.

After King Jin's order was issued, the prefectures and counties around Kaifeng City transported grain to support the capital one after another.

The cold wind was miserable, and on an official road, more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages were rushing to the capital carrying grain, and a dozen military officers were in charge of escorting the grain.

And these dozen or so officers were also very cautious. On the way, they didn't stop at the shop and only ate the food they brought with them.

Not long after walking out of the official road this day, a cold wind suddenly came from all around.

The carriage stopped, and an officer and soldier frowned slightly, put one hand on the handle of the knife, and said loudly: "Everyone, be careful, there is a situation!"

As soon as the officer and soldier's voice fell, more than a dozen men in black suddenly rushed out from all around. The men in black moved quickly. As soon as they appeared, they immediately drew their knives, and then slashed at the officers and soldiers transporting food.

The officers and soldiers transporting food seemed to be not mediocre either. Seeing this situation, they immediately drew their swords to face each other.

Bian River is the largest canal around the capital.

I do not know how many merchant ships come and go from here every year. At this time, most of the river is frozen, but a waterway is manually dug in the middle, and the merchant ships run again.

In the canal about twenty miles away from the capital, several large ships were rushing towards the capital. The large ships were full of grain, and a grain transport officer stood at the bow. The grain transport officer looked very young, but his eyes were like lightning.

Just as the ship was moving fast, the food transport officer frowned slightly and said, "No, be on guard."

As the voice fell, several black spots suddenly appeared on the ice surface, and the black spots became bigger and bigger, and then it was discovered that they were more than a dozen men in black. The men in black were gliding on the ice at an extremely fast speed, and just before them When he was about to approach the ship, someone had already pulled out a knife.

"kill!"

On the glacier, fighting is imminent.

The capital, the wind in the capital is cold.

Somewhere in the capital, a man was lying on a grand teacher's chair, his eyes were slightly closed, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Has everyone been sent out?"

"Don't worry, Grand Master, everyone has been sent out. None of the grain brought in from outside the capital can enter the city. As long as the grain cannot be transported, there will be chaos in Kaifeng, the capital. By then, we will be considered accomplished."

The person lying on the chair smiled lightly: "You are right, we have failed in destroying the trade between Southern Tang, Wuyue and Song Dynasty last time, if we don't make some trouble in Kaifeng, the capital, how can we go back to China? "

"What the grand master said is very true, but this matter is bound to cause a lot of trouble, we might as well leave the capital and hide for a while."

"Hiding?" The person lying on the chair frowned slightly, but after a while, he still made a decision and said, "You can arrange it."
-
When the night was dark, there were little snowflakes in the capital again.

The snowflakes are cold and melt quickly when they fall in Kaifeng Mansion.

In the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, Shen Tan is trying a case, while the hall of Kaifeng Mansion is brightly lit, Su Tongkan, Liu Wei, Jin Wang and others are sitting in the living room, all waiting.

King Jin's expression was slightly condensed, while Liu Wei and Su Tong looked a little more relaxed, probably to ease the tense atmosphere in the living room, Su looked at Liu Wei and smiled slightly: "Master Liu's method will work, use capital, prefecture, and county The food transported to the capital will be used as bait, and then the person behind the scenes will be lured out."

Liu Wei smiled lightly: "Mr. Su is absurd. Since the people behind the scenes want to destabilize the capital, they definitely don't want the food to be transported to the capital. In this case, they have to send people to stop it. It's a pity, four people, After the final fight, only five survivors remained, and these five survivors may not necessarily be willing to tell the truth."

Speaking of this, Liu Wei glanced at King Jin, and King Jin sighed softly, as if he felt that what Liu Wei said made sense, most of those assassins were dead men, and such people were not easy to deal with, death was for them , may not be so scary anymore.

Seeing that both of them were like this, Su Tong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Please rest assured, Wang Ye and Lord Liu, with the experience from last time, Lord Shen will not let them commit suicide easily this time."

While the three of them were talking, Detective Shen hurried over from the direction of the prison in Kaifeng Mansion. On this cold and snowy night, his fat body walked extremely fast, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead from time to time.

Seeing Shen Tan like this, the three of them were slightly startled and their hearts sank.

"Master Shen, how is the interrogation going?" Su Tongkan asked first.

Shen Tan shook his head, with fear on his face: "My lord, those five people are very stubborn. They have used a lot of punishment in the prison, but they just refused to talk about it. Now they just passed out."

Although the result had been expected, they were still a little disappointed seeing this now.

Jin Wang was angry because of disappointment, and said: "Damn it, hate it! This king wants to kill them."

As he said that, King Jin was about to get up, but at this moment, Liu Wei suddenly smiled and said, "My lord, since those people refuse to speak up, how about asking the subordinates to interrogate?"

"You?" King Jin was overjoyed, and said quickly, "Okay, you guys go quickly."

Liu Wei nodded, and then followed Shen Tan into the prison of Kaifeng Mansion.

At this time, the prison in Kaifeng Mansion was very cold, so cold that it made people feel chills.

Entering the interrogation room, the five assassins were tied up with ropes. At this time, they were slowly waking up, but they were all weak and ashen. They had lost hope for life, and they only wanted to die quickly.

Liu Wei glanced at them, and said with a smile: "You are smart people, you should understand that there are many ways for us to deal with you in Kaifeng Mansion, so it's better to reveal your identities and the people behind the scenes, so And suffer less."

What Liu Wei said was calm and breezy, but those words were cold, as cold as the cold wind in this deep winter.

The five assassins looked at Liu Wei with a sneer on the corner of their mouths, they only wanted a quick death.

Seeing them like this, Liu Wei shrugged his shoulders: "In this case, let me tell you how to deal with you. There are three ways to deal with you. The first two are punishments, but my punishment is a little different. The first one is called punishment. The truth comes out, the second one is called the Ice Bucket Challenge, this is the truth, it is easy to understand, that is, I ordered people to feed you water, feed you a lot of water, drink until your stomach is full, but don’t think that drinking You’ll be fine if you’re full of water, and after you’re full, I will order someone to kick your stomach, and then the water you just drank will flow out of the seven orifices, and so on and on until you are willing to speak.”

Liu Wei said, showing a slight smile, but the audible face changed, even Shen Tan couldn't help shivering, he had never heard of this kind of punishment, and this kind of punishment was heard by him. Come on, it turned out to be so cruel, just listening to it, I feel so cold.

At this time, Liu Wei smiled again, and continued: "This second punishment is called the ice bucket challenge, and it is easy to explain. In this cold winter, water can freeze in an hour, and the so-called ice bucket challenge , is to throw you into a bucket, and then let the water freeze slowly, making you a frozen person." Speaking of this, Liu Wei clicked his tongue, and said: "Of course, with this punishment, it is possible for you to survive. It's not very sexual, so your desire to seek death will be fulfilled, but the feeling of freezing cold water is enough for you to bear."

After Liu Wei finished speaking, the people in the interrogation room couldn't help their teeth chattering. They didn't feel the punishment Liu Wei said, they just listened to it and felt a little unbearable.

Shen visited Liu Wei, he never imagined that this bookish man who kept saying that he should use less punishment before would have such a severe punishment, this punishment is so cruel, and he has never heard of it before, how did he know of?
Just when Shen Tan was thinking this way, Liu Wei smiled again: "I don't know if you guys still want to hear about my third way of dealing with it?"

The faces of the five assassins turned blue at this time, and the corners of their mouths were bleeding, but they still nodded. If there were better ways to die, they would definitely not choose the two that Liu Wei just mentioned.

Liu Wei smiled, and said: "The third method of disposal is much better. I will let you go, and I will let you go unconditionally."

When Liu Wei said this, everyone in the interrogation room was shocked, and Detective Shen hurried forward: "Master Liu, these assassins cannot be let go!"

Liu Wei shrugged: "Master Shen, what's the point of letting them go? Let them go and we send people to follow them. If they go to find their mastermind, it's in our favor. And if they don't look for it, We don't have to worry, we just need to spread the news that they have been released, and their masterminds will definitely know, so what will be the result, Mr. Shen may think?"

Shen Tan was taken aback for a moment, but soon understood Liu Wei's intentions. After the news was released, these assassins did not dare to go back. In this way, the mastermind behind the scenes must think that they have rebelled. So, what can the mastermind behind the scenes do? , but it's hard to say.

"Although you are dead men, you may have relatives at home. Let you go out. Do you think the people behind your scenes will let your relatives go?" Liu Wei smiled, looking at the five assassins, with a very indifferent expression. .

The hearts of the five assassins suddenly became agitated. They only wanted to die quickly, but they never expected that the young man in front of them could break through their defenses so easily, causing them to feel anxious and fearful.

And once a dead man has concerns and fears, he is no longer a dead man.

At this time, Tan Shen already understood Liu Wei's intentions, as long as he told the way to deal with it, why should he really use the punishment?Just a few words can make them fear.

"Master Liu, since they are still hesitating, we might as well find two people to try the truth and the ice bucket challenge you just mentioned."
