Chapter 32: Relying on a few


"Why tie me up!"

After Liu Tu was tied up, he still kept yelling in his mouth, looking very wronged.The others in the flint were also like frightened birds, looking at Ren Hong suspiciously, wanting to hear his reason.Ren Hong has his own judgment: according to Song Wan's statement, Liu Suichang probably noticed the traitor, but he didn't say it to Song Wan and Han Dang as two deputies, or hesitated before wanting to confide, and finally ran to the poplar forest outside the plug alone, for what?

Ren Hong felt that Liu Suichang was trying to protect someone he cared about, after all, once it was found to be involved in smuggling, it would be a capital crime.I also heard Zhao Hu'er say that there were no traces of a fight at the scene, and Liu Suichang's body was obviously killed by someone Ren Hong, who felt that this was probably an acquaintance who committed the crime, and lured Liu Suichang out of the plug to discuss things, wanting to buy him, but when things didn't work out, he had to kill the killer.In addition, Liu Tu found a reason to leave, this is too obvious, and now the wolves who are involved in smuggling and killing people must be panicked, and what they want to do most is to open a report.Ren Hong said his judgment, and smiled mysteriously: "Besides, the place where I slept last night was Liu Suichang's couch." ”"Liu Suichang has a dream with me.""

He said, it was Qian Luluo and Liu Tu who did it!"

This dream made everyone in Suinei look at each other, and some people doubted it, but the superstitious Song Wan and Yin Youqing believed it."

No wonder Ren Suichang has a discerning eye for treachery, is it really Liu Suichang who has appeared?"

However, Liu Tu's heart was big, his face was pale, and his lips trembled for a while, so that Ren Hong was sure that his judgment was right, but he could only bluff him for a while, but he could not let him confide in the information.Liu Tu struggled and said: "Hugh wants to trick me, who doesn't know, Liu Sui and I are uncles and nephews, just like father and son!"

How could I harm him!

”"Don't recruit you, do you?

I'll fight!

”Han Dangdang tended to speak with his fists.Liu Tu tilted his head: "Vertical son dares!"

If it is later confirmed that I have nothing to do with it, you will be beaten and lynched!

”"You!"

Han Dangdang was about to hit him with his fist, but Ren Hong stopped him."

There is a way to extract a confession without hurting his face."

Ren Hong looked at the house where he lived: "Lu Guangsu." ”"No!""

Move the wooden table out of my house!"

The appearance of the wooden table, like the bench of later generations, is a common indoor decoration, or placed on the mat, or placed on the couch.Because even on the couch, the Han people often sit on their knees, and the sitting posture compresses the lower limbs, in order to reduce the pressure, the knees are accepted a few times, and the arms are bowed on a few, so that it is more comfortable.This is called "sitting by a few".But right now, this wooden table, which was meant to be comfortable, made Liu Tu worse than dead!

But seeing that his upper body was fixed on a pillar, and his buttocks and legs tied together were placed on a wooden table with a width just enough to accommodate one person, this is nothing, the worst thing is that Ren Hong put the bricks under his feet in the fire, and everyone was originally puzzled, Han Dangdang wanted to say that this is Ren Hong's so-called method of extorting confessions without hurting people?

But as the bricks placed under Liu Tu's straight feet reached two, his face changed.Liu Tu gritted his teeth, cold sweat began to break out on his forehead, and the pain in his legs became stronger and stronger!

I wanted to struggle, but my hands and upper body were tied tightly, and it didn't help at all.And when Ren Hong added the third brick under his feet, Liu Tu was already wailing.That's right, this is the torture "tiger chair" that people talk about in later generations!

It seems simple, but it can actually torture the dead.Ren Hong didn't care about him, and greeted everyone with a smile: "That's it, let's eat." ”The rice was freshly steamed, and everyone was holding the bowl absentmindedly, and their ears were full of the sound of Liu Tu crying for his father and mother.After two moments like this, when Ren Hong rested the bowl, Liu Tu had been tortured to the point of physical and mental exhaustion, and began to beg for mercy."

Not so soon?

I'd like to add a fourth block. ”Ren Hong squatted next to Liu Tu, and did not remove the brick under his feet, only smiled: "Anyway, the faster you speak, the sooner this brick can be removed." ”Qian Luluo, who bit off his tongue, was tough, but his comrade Liu Tu couldn't, neither the courage to bite his tongue, nor the perseverance to survive Ren Hong's "torture"."

It was Qian Luluo who pulled me into the gang."

Liu Tu trembled and explained the situation of the traitor one by one."

I haven't seen the appearance of those people, and I don't know what they trafficked out of the jam, so on the day it was my turn to inspect, I went out early in the morning to the west near Ling Husui's position, watched the surroundings, and didn't let other flints get close, and then Ling Husui's own people cleaned up the traces left by the traitors in Tiantian.""

Sure enough, it's Ling Husui's ghost!"

Lu Guangsu shouted: "No wonder their Cheng Sui Chang can ride a tall horse. ”Border smuggling is basically impossible to achieve without the release of the beacon, but according to Liu Tu's description, Ling Husui was not bold enough to let the smugglers go directly out of the Suili.After all, in addition to the flint chief, assistants, and Wu Bai, the other flints are usually changed once a year, and the cost of buying them all is too high, and it is easy to leak rumors.Therefore, it is safer to let smugglers climb the Great Wall at night and remove traces of it the next day.Because the distance between the two flints is only ten miles, the sound can be heard, and it is difficult to hide it if you don't buy the people on the side of the flint.So there was Qian Luluo and Liu Tu, as well as the person who claimed that his mother was sick and went home on leave, and Liu Tu just wanted to go to Ling Husui to report the news.Ren Hong listened, and suddenly asked, "How many benefits can you get in a month?"

”Liu Tu raised his head and muttered: "Five hundred yuan, Qian Luo seems to be more" Ren Hong shook his head: "Two sheep a month, but you have to risk death, is it worth it?"

”Liu Tu defended himself: "The flint's money and food are low, and they can't support the whole family at all, plus the bitter cold and sand, if you are not careful, you will die!"

Because of this, I couldn't resist the temptation to "be a soldier is not a free service, every month the government will distribute three stone rations, the valley in Hexi is expensive, almost five hundred yuan, if you save a little, in addition to eating yourself, you can also support your wife and children."

But this is only the most perfect situation, just like the small civil servants in later generations, food is always a low item in the monthly consumption, but also clothing, housing, transportation and even illness, funeral, marriage, personal relations and various expenses of three stone food, if there are elderly people in the family, I am afraid it will be difficult to support the family.Therefore, under the heavy profits, poor soldiers who do not understand the law are easily tempted, even if they are petty officials, they will be tempted.After all, the salaries of low-level officials in the Han Dynasty have not yet undergone the two salary increases of Xuan and Cheng, and Ren Hong, who is only eight stone per month compared to a hundred stone officials, has half a penny and half a grain, and the money in hand is less than six hundred, barely able to support himself and the radish.Therefore, it is not a violation of law and discipline for low-level officials in Hexi to have a second career, after all, there are so many sticks given by the officials.In order to increase some non-professional income, some Suichang near lakes and rivers will even hire people to fish and sell fish, but everyone also turns a blind eye.But with the exception of smuggling, which has violated the law of the land and has risen to the level of an enemy!

It's a pity that in addition to Qian Luluo's deep involvement, Liu Tu is just a peripheral horse boy and is vague about the specific situation of smuggling.Seeing that he couldn't ask more, Ren Hong picked up a brick and said with a smile: "Now let's talk about Liu Suichang's death, this has a lot to do with you!"

”Liu Tu still had three bricks under his feet and never withdrew, and now he was terrified when he saw the bricks, and he poured beans to tell the whole story of the day."

My uncle found out about Ling Husui's deeds, but because I was involved, it was not easy to take the blame, so Cheng Suichang asked him to discuss in the poplar forest outside the Saiwai, originally said that he wanted to stop it and stop the adultery, but my uncle pretended not to see it" "But unexpectedly, when Cheng Suichang wanted to pull his uncle into the gang, his uncle sternly refused, so Cheng Suichang killed him. ”Liu Tu said and lowered his head: "It was Cheng Suichang who killed the murderer, and afterwards he shoved the bloody blade into my hand, saying that if this matter is revealed, I will not be able to escape death, it is better to live and support my uncle's family" Han Dangdang couldn't listen anymore, and stepped forward to punch Liu Tu in the face: "You family killer!"

There is still the face to bury Liu Suichang!

In this way, the matter was completely clear, and there was silence in the broken Sui, and after a long time, Song Wancai wiped his tears and sighed: "Liu Suichang is really a good official." ”Ren Hongdao: "If you can stick to your heart, you are indeed a good flint, but unfortunately the Si people have passed away, all we can do is to thoroughly investigate this case to the end!"

Let Liu Sui grow up under the Yellow Spring and be blind!

”He only cares about one thing now: "Is there anyone else behind Cheng Suichang?"

”Liu Tu's face was already swollen, and he shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, I have to ask Qian Luluo" The words stopped suddenly, Liu Tu was not stupid, understood Ren Hong's concerns, and got up again, raised his head and laughed: "However, I remember that he mentioned it, there should be, maybe it is the waiting, it may be" "Waiting!"
