Not only in the Han Dynasty, but also until the invention of electricity, night belonged to nature.
Because of the inconvenience of lighting, it also brought many unstable factors, so the government has required a curfew for a long time. The so-called morning bell and evening drum are not only to tell the time, but also a reminder.
If there is no official errand, ordinary people wandering on the streets at night and being caught by soldiers patrolling the streets will be punished. When Cao Cao was the captain of the north gate of Luoyang City, he would hold a wooden stick wrapped with five-color cloth strips.
Uncle Jian Shuo was beaten to death for violating the curfew.
Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, the vast majority of the people abided by such regulations and were accustomed to the lifestyle of working at sunrise and resting at dusk, not only in cities and towns, but also in the suburbs.
Therefore, after dusk and sunset, three people peeking out and holding weapons will inevitably make people suspicious whether they are evildoers.
When Fei sneaked into the camp, the three people were already tied to wooden stakes.
Huang Cheng, who was standing aside, clenched his fists and said with a frown: "These three people are quite strict and won't say anything!" Huang Cheng was a little worried. This place is close to the Five Elements Mountains. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were
Many of the defeated Yellow Turban remnants fled to the mountainous areas and started business without capital. Although these people did not have much combat power, when the number of people increased, it was inevitable to deal with them with more than a hundred people.
Huang Chengyuan wanted to get some information from the three people's mouths, but he did not expect that these three people were very tough-mouthed and would not say a word even after being beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen.
Ordinary physical pain can also be endured by a person with a strong will. Fei Qian actually admired the three people in front of him for this.
Not to mention later generations, there were also many vicious interrogations and punishments in the Han Dynasty, such as skinning, torture, hanging, castration, mutilation, insertion of needles, sawing, filling with lead, scrubbing, playing the pipa, draining the intestines, and burning...
Just listening to it makes me feel horrified, but most of these require equipment, and Huang Cheng is not a professional in these matters. Naturally, apart from whipping, he could not find a breakthrough for the interrogation for a while.
Of course, Fei Qian knew about those underhanded interrogation methods, but he didn't have the experience to actually implement them. But now it seems that it doesn't necessarily require a big fight.
Fei Qian followed the firelight, looked at the three of them carefully, and picked up the ring-headed knives carried by the three of them from the ground. He struck it and found that the steel seemed to be quite good, so he had a little idea of what it was.
Fei Qian walked around the three people several times and laughed a few times. Even Huang Zhong and Huang CD looked sideways, let alone the three people who were tied up. Because their bodies were restrained, it was difficult to turn their heads.
I can only follow Fei Qian around with my eyes...
"Who is the leader?" Fei Qian asked coldly.
Fei Qian immediately saw two of them involuntarily squinting their eyes to the side...
Oh, it's you.
Fei Qian pulled Huang Cheng over and whispered a few words.
Huang Cheng greeted several people with an expressionless face, and dragged the leader alive to the back of the mountain col. Then he let out a scream that stopped halfway...
The two people who stayed behind trembled when they heard the sound.
After a while, Huang Cheng turned back, holding a blood-stained ring-shou knife in his hand, dripping down to the ground along the blade...
The remaining two people looked at each other, their eyes a little frightened and panicked.
"Actually, I know even if you don't tell me..." Fei Qian suddenly spoke and said with a smile, but this smile looked so weird under the flickering firelight.
"You are not yellow turban bandits, but guests..."
Fei Qian paid attention to the eyes of the two people and continued slowly: "...and your Lord also committed something, right..."
After seeing that the eyes of the two people were obviously widening, Fei Qian sighed and said in a casual tone: "Actually, let me tell you one thing, we are not officers and soldiers, and we have no interest in your family.
So whether you say it or not, I have no interest at all... Originally, it wouldn't matter if I let you go, but seeing you like this makes me feel a little uncomfortable... It just so happens that you can't find any meat in the wilderness, so
Thank you very much..."
"...By the way, remember to cut slowly while still alive, and make it thinner, so as not to waste firewood..."
Fei Qian waved his hand, and Huang Cheng understood. He came up and pinched the two of them, and then Yao seemed to be saying to himself: "This meat is softer, it must be good!" After that, he pulled one of Yao.
Walk towards the col.
Such contrasting words scared the two people who had not received any training in this area to the point where they were about to pee. Seeing Huang Cheng acting like this, the one who was being pulled finally couldn't help it.
Howling loudly, saying that he had something to say...
"Since you have something to say, I can just wait for you to say it..." Huang Cheng loosened his hand and threw it to the ground, then turned around to pull the other person, and said, "... then
Let’s take care of this and not talk about it first…”
Another person also shouted quickly: "Wait, wait! I...I also have something to say..."
The final result of the interrogation was similar to Fei Qian's prediction. Sure enough, it was not the Yellow Turbans, but the Chang family of a noble family in Wen County, Hanoi. They were convicted of crimes by Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, so their family moved. Unexpectedly, they ran into Fei Qian and his party.
So I sent someone to check it out.
Since he is also a nobleman, there is no need to act any more. Fei Qian asked Huang Cheng to bring back the leader, bowed his hands to them, and said: "This is an emergency decision. If I am rude, I hope you will."
Forgive me! I am a member of the Heluofei family and a member of the Feiqian Feiziyuan family. I don’t know how to address you?"
It turned out that the leader was not killed at all. Even the miserable half scream was made by Huang Cheng himself. Even the blood on the knife was the blood of a hare he caught on the way...
The leader smiled bitterly, raised his hands and saluted: "Mr. Lang, you are so polite. It is really a good trick. I admire it! The villain Wen County often cherishes Chang Zishun and has met Lang Jun." Since Fei Qian and his party are not the prefect of Hanoi.
Kuang sent the soldiers to arrest him, and two of his men confessed, so there was no need to hide it, so Chang Huai sent someone back to report the news, and he and Fei Qian sat down and chatted.
.
Chang Huai whispered Fei Qian's name several times, then suddenly raised his hands and said with some enthusiasm: "He Luofei family, Fei Ziyuan... Lang Jun is the Cai family who studied under Xiping Shijing, and later
Traveling to study Jingxiang Pang Degong’s hidden Kunfei and hidden Feiziyuan? "
What?
Hidden Kun?
Monk Feiqian Zhanger was confused, what is this? What is going on!
