Also on this night, in Liu Ling's study, Zhao Da said to Liu Ling: "Your Majesty, our people have found some useful information in the past two days."
Liu Ling said: "Oh? Tell me about it."
Zhao Dadao: "A few people quietly left the city in the middle of the night a few days ago. When they climbed down from the city wall, they were discovered by the shadow guards. The shadow guards secretly followed behind. After going more than 20 miles, they found an opportunity to catch a lone man.
The people came back. Because the manpower of the shadow guards who were following them was limited, they were not able to catch them all. But the people who followed were more clever. When they caught one and pulled back, two shadow guards were left to follow those people. The news came back today.
Said those people arrived in Datong."
Liu Ling frowned and asked, "Whose person is he?"
Zhao Da praised: "The man who was taken down by the shadow guard was a tough guy. It has been several days now and he has not let go. My subordinates originally wanted to wait for him to get some useful information before reporting it to the prince, but it didn't work.
These extraordinary measures were used, but the man still didn't say a word."
After hearing what Zhao Da said, Liu Ling's first reaction was... underground party?
"Where did the Shadow Guards start to follow? Where did those people come from?"
Liu Ling asked.
Zhao Da Dao: "Those people are very skilled. If a few shadow guards didn't happen to pass by when they climbed down the city wall, they wouldn't have been spotted. So I don't know where they came from, but..."
Zhao Da paused and said: "On the same day that your prince was assassinated, Sima Lu, the Minister of Justice, seemed to have also been assassinated. He did not announce this matter. The shadow guards investigated and found out that Sima Lu's left arm should be
He was seriously injured. Think about it, those people who went out to Taiyuan City at night may be related to the assassination of Sima Lu."
Liu Ling nodded and said, "Where is the assassin?"
Zhao Dadao: "It has been settled and hidden in a very secret place. As long as the prince speaks, I will take him out immediately."
Liu Ling hummed and said, "Let's go, take me to see that tough-talking person."
As Liu Ling walked, he was thinking about it, how did he deal with those tough-talking people when he was watching the TV series? Tiger stool pepper water? In this era, pepper has not been introduced yet, so there is no such thing as pepper water. In the second half of the 16th century
At that time, chili peppers entered China as ornamental plants. It took a long, long time before people discovered that this thing can harm people...
Tiger bench? That thing is a bad thing only done by the reactionaries of the Kuomintang. We came from a socialist country, so we can't do it openly...
Inserting bamboo sticks into fingers? Red-hot soldering iron? Clamping sticks? Pulling out nails? Filling the anus with water?
Liu Ling felt cold, thinking that TV dramas can really kill people.
The captured man has been moved from the secret passage to the backyard of Prince Liu Ling's Mansion, and is locked in a small house. This house was once the place where Zhao Da recovered from his injuries, and now it has been turned into a prison cell. Liu Ling left
All the way, he did not have the heart to use those cruel punishments. If that guy is a heinous villain, it is not unacceptable to use severe punishment according to Liu Ling's temperament. But this person still can't tell whether it is good or not.
Damn, if he was really the one who assassinated Sima Lu, Liu Ling really wouldn't be able to bring himself to torture him.
After thinking about it all the way, Liu Ling finally decided to look at the situation. At worst, there was a honey trap, but it was really hard to find a candidate to devote himself. Zhao Er and Hanasaburo probably didn't like that person...
When Liu Ling thought of the beauty trap, he thought of a joke he heard in his previous life. The joke was very old, but it still seemed funny every time he thought about it. It said that a person was arrested on September 27, 1949.
, the reactionaries used severe torture on him on the first day, but he didn't do it. On the second day, they gave him a lot of money, but he still didn't do it. On the third day, they used a honey trap on him, but he did it. On the fourth day, he did it.
Still want to recruit, liberated...
Thinking of this, Liu Ling couldn't help laughing. Zhao Da glanced at Liu Ling in surprise, not understanding why the prince laughed for no reason.
When he arrived at the door of the small house, Zhao Da opened the door and walked in. The lights in the house were very dim, and several people could be seen standing in the house in the flickering candlelight. There was a person tied to a wooden frame against the wall.
The man was naked from the waist up. Liu Ling looked carefully and found no injuries on his body.
Didn't Zhao Da say that he used some extraordinary means? Why didn't this man have any scars on his body?
With doubts, Liu Ling walked into the room. Several people from the shadow guard in the room saluted Liu Ling when they saw him. Liu Ling waved his hand and had someone move a chair and sit down not far from the tied man.
When Liu Ling entered the door, the man raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then snorted coldly and closed his eyes again. Liu Ling had seen this kind of death-defying attitude in no less than thirty movies. This scene was simply incredible.
Let Liu Ling think he went back to before 1949.
This look was so familiar that Liu Ling almost didn't rush over and took his hand and said, "Comrade! I'm here to rescue you!"
"What did you say?"
Liu Ling sat on the chair, crossed her legs and glanced at the man and asked.
A shadow guard dressed in black, wearing a purple auspicious cloud cloak, and a red flying flame embroidered on his chest bent down and said: "I haven't said anything. Since I captured him, he only said he was hungry and wanted to eat.
Nothing else was said."
Liu Ling nodded, thought for a while and said, "You all can go out."
Zhao Da and others were surprised and glanced at Liu Ling as if they didn't believe it. Liu Ling waved his hand and said, "I'll ask him alone. You can all wait outside."
Zhao Da said worriedly: "Master, I can stay here by myself. This man is very skilled. Just in case..."
Liu Ling said: "It doesn't matter, I'm not a naughty person, let's go out."
Zhao Da had no choice but to tie two more ropes to the man before leading him out. When the man saw that two more ropes were tied to him, the man curled his lips and gave a sneer. Liu
Ling saw a sense of determination in his eyes, as well as contempt for Zhao Da and others.
After Zhao Da and others had gone out, Liu Ling stood up and walked to the man. He looked him up and down, then smiled slightly, with a relaxed smile on his face. He circled around the man.
Liu Ling stood opposite the man and asked, "Do you know who I am?"
The man raised his head and glanced at Liu Ling, then closed his eyes again.
Liu Ling smiled and didn't care. He sat down on the chair, took a sip of tea, and stopped talking. He just leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.
I don't know how long it took, but the tea was already cold. The man waited for a long time but didn't see any movement from Liu Ling. He opened his eyes curiously and looked at Liu Ling. He saw the young and good-looking man leaning on the chair.
Already asleep!
The man frowned and stared at Liu Ling for a long time.
After a while, Liu Ling seemed to wake up from his sleep. He opened his eyes and looked around. He saw the man looking at him, so he smiled, stood up and stretched.
"You are a good subordinate. Your master is lucky to have someone like you as his helper."
Liu Ling said something, then nodded to the man, turned around and walked out. When he reached the door, Liu Ling called Zhao in and said: "Let him go, let him go out through the back door. If he
If he still wants to leave the city, arrange for someone to take him out of the city."
Zhao Dal was stunned for a moment, then nodded as if he understood something and said, "Yes, I will do it now."
Liu Ling turned around and said to the man: "If you go back and see your master, tell him not to be so reckless in doing things in the future. The opponent is far from being as simple as you think, and many things must be planned before taking action. Otherwise, what happens?
If you make a mistake, it won't be just one or two people involved. If your master falls because of this, it will be a huge loss to me."
Liu Ling said: "It is your luck that you were captured by my people. Remember, it is best not to return to Taiyuan within half a year. I will go to your master to explain and tell him that you have arrived in Datong safely!"
After saying that, Liu Ling walked out without looking back.
The man was shocked! Why did the young man in front of him know so much?
"wait!"
The man couldn't help but shout.
Liu Ling paused for a moment, then shook his head and continued to walk forward. As he walked, he said to Zhao Da: "I'm going to Yangping Street tomorrow and prepare my carriage and horses."
There was unconcealed respect and admiration in Zhao Da's eyes. Liu Ling's trick of playing hard to get was so perfect!
"Do you know my family? Who are you?"
The man saw that Liu Ling was about to walk out of the yard without stopping. He couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked loudly.
Liu Ling said as he walked: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I am a friend rather than an enemy to you."
The man said eagerly: "How do you know we are going to Datong?! Do you really know my family?"
A smile appeared on Liu Ling's lips, and she walked straight away without stopping.
In fact, Liu Ling's trick was extremely simple. He used the limited information he had to deceive the person. He also pretended not to care about him at all, as if the master behind that person, Liu Ling, had known about it for a long time.
In fact, what Liu Ling said was not important news. It was precisely because of these points that the man's guard began to relax.
Going to Datong, this news was obtained by the shadow guard following those few people, and the other words Liu Ling said were completely Mopan dialect, and there would be no mistake in telling anyone.
"If you go back and meet your master, tell him not to be so reckless in future actions. Your opponent is far from being as simple as you think. Many things must be planned before you act. Otherwise, if you make a mistake, you will be implicated.
It is not a matter of two people. If your master falls because of this matter, it will be a huge loss to me!"
These words had no practical significance at all, but they made the man's psychology begin to waver. Immediately afterwards, Liu Ling deliberately said that he was going to Yangping Street tomorrow. This was not very clever, considering that in the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty
Seventy-eight out of ten officials live on Yangping Street, including Sima Lu, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Pei Hao, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. The man mistakenly said he was my lord twice in a row, and this is what Liu Ling caught.
This is deception, using only a few pieces of information to make the other party think that they have fully grasped the truth of the matter.
Liu Ling walked in front, and Zhao Da followed closely behind.
"My lord, do you really let him go?"
In front of that person, Zhao Da called Liu Ling master. Now there was no need to avoid anything, so he changed it to prince.
Liu Ling smiled and said: "Let it go, of course it has to be let go, but we have to wait until he says everything that needs to be said before we let it go."
He suddenly remembered something and asked Zhao Dada: "Didn't you say that you used some extraordinary means on him? Why didn't I see any scars on that man?"
Zhao Da smiled sarcastically and said: "My subordinates can't tell whether this person is good or evil, so they didn't beat him. The extraordinary means that my subordinates mentioned are really... extraordinary means."
Liu Ling paused and said, "What on earth is it?"
Zhao Da said sheepishly: "This extraordinary method is to... scratch his armpits, poke his nostrils with fur grass, brush his soles with a small brush, then apply honey on his chest, and hug a cat
Licking on his chest..."
Liu Ling was stunned, thinking that it was indeed very...
While talking, Liu Ling and Zhao Da had already reached the door of the backyard. At this time, a shadow guard chased up from behind, knelt down on the ground with clasped fists and said: "Your Majesty! That man said he has something to say to you!"
Liu Ling laughed after hearing this and said, "Take him to my study." (To be continued)
