In the execution room, this was the first time Guan Lin interrogated a prisoner, and the person he was interrogating was a Wei spy.

He walked slowly to the desk and sat down, a little unsure whether to be coquettish or calm.

This room belonging to the thief Cao Yu could not be regarded as a serious court, but it put more pressure on people than the court. The interior was small and dark, giving it a gloomy atmosphere.

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

The two shirtless and muscular torturers, with their indifferent expressions, seemed to be telling the prisoners that no matter who they were, they were all equal and humble.

Guan Lin slowly took his seat. This time, Guan Yinping and Zhang Xingcai did not follow him, but stood guard outside the door.

However, the two of them pricked up their ears and listened to the sounds.

Guan Lin said: "Bring Wei spies!"

The owner of the wine shop slowly walked into the execution chamber. Although his hair was shaggy and there were escorting executioners behind him, his calm demeanor seemed to have seen through everything here, with a sense of absolute certainty.

This feeling... made it 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 sigh.

Surprised and confused, he blurted out: "I have already told Mr. Guan 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. Why?"

Will he collude with that thief Cao?"

Guan Lin smiled and said: "So, you still don't want to do it!"

The wine shop owner didn't answer directly, he just raised his eyes and looked at the torture device again.

"Is Mr. Guan going to give in and give in?"

In the torture chamber, the torch exploded into a lantern, and a hint of ferocity flashed in Guan Lin's eyes, but soon, the ferocity dissipated and was replaced by a confident light.

"Lao Tzu has a saying that says, 'Everything in the world is born from being, and being is born from nothing.' There is another saying, 'Tao gives birth to one, one life gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things bear yin and hold yang, and the energy is

And, 'Once a person does something in this world, it will inevitably affect everything around him. It can't be true or false, nor can it be true. If you are really not a Wei spy, why don't you answer a few questions for me?

If you can answer it? Then..."

Before Guan Lin finished speaking, the wine shop owner straightened his back and said, "I have a clear conscience!"

He is confident that as... the deputy of Cao Wei's military department and an old man among Wei's spies, he will be able to withstand all tests!

Guan Lin, on the other hand, stood up, walked up to him with great interest, raised his brows, and began to cross-examine.

"Where is your ancestral home?"

——"Xuzhou."

"What's it called?"

——"Wang Qi!"

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

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

"When did it come out?"

"This..." The shopkeeper obviously hesitated for a moment, but he quickly picked up, "It was the fifth year of Jian'an. Cao Cao, a thief, attacked Xuzhou to avenge his father. He left no one or any animals in the place he passed, so... we Dongwu

People in the county fled south one after another, so I fled to Xinye.

"Later Cao's thieves went south, Uncle Liu led his 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, lived in Langya Kingdom, right?"

——"I don't know!"

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

——"How can I, a humble person with no education, get to know someone like Zhuge?"

"Oh... never studied? Then you are illiterate?"

——"I don't know, my wife usually does the accounting, and I'm only responsible for the kitchen."

"Then what kind of shopkeeper are you?"

——"Haha, I'm just pretending, my wife is the real shopkeeper. To be honest, at home... my wife is the boss!"

"Oh...if you say that, you can't even write your own name?" Guan Lin smiled and said, "Wang Qi, this name only has six strokes in total!"

"I won't make the official laugh, I won't!"

"Then you just said that no humans or animals will be left where the traitor Cao goes. Hey, no humans and animals will be left behind. Do you still know the idiom?"

"I have been here in Jiangling City for a long time, and I have learned a few things from my wife."

"Then are you afraid of death?"

"Afraid! So scared!"

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

"..." Obviously, the shopkeeper paused again, "I am just a cook, cooking for wealthy families."

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

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

"Then...can you make wine?"

"...Yes, but the brew will not be good."

"When making wine, if you use two husks of coarse rice and one hu of koji, how many husks and dou of wine can you get?"

this…

When Guan Lin asked this, the wine shop owner obviously hesitated.

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

And the question ends here.

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

"Why?"

"Anyone who has made wine knows that two hugs of coarse rice and one hu of koji are used to make the wine. How can it be accurate? It seems... Brother Yunqi is deceiving him!"

Hmm…

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

"My father loves to drink!" Zhang Xingcai replied in a low voice: "So, my mother always brewed wine for him...and also taught me, whether it was Qiao Pei's 'Nine Brewing Spring Wine' or Langya's 'Qingyun Langjiu'

', I can make wine..."

oh…

Only then did Guan Yinping realize that sister Xingcai’s mother was an authentic northerner.

Or even, not just a northerner, but also the niece of the Xiahou family who was a very meritorious person in the Cao Wei camp?

It’s a noble woman!

At this time, Guan Lin's questioning had no intention of stopping.

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

"have no idea!"

"Oh, I forgot again, where did you say your hometown is?" Guan Lin started a new round of questioning.

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

"How many people are there at home?"

"There is no one left in the house except my wife and me."

"Why come out."

"Didn't I say it before? Escape..." This time the wine shop owner answered simply and to the point.

"How did you escape?"

"Follow the fellow villagers and drive the donkey cart..."

"You just said that no one or animal will be left behind wherever Cao Cao goes. Who taught you this idiom?"

"I...I heard what the guest said."

As soon as this answer came out, Guan Lin smiled slightly and said, "But you didn't answer like that just now. What you just said was taught by your wife! Why did you say it as a guest again?"

Now... the wine shop owner was obviously nervous, "They all... have it."

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

"Wang Qi!"

"Which king?"
