The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 386 0387
On a moonless night, Qiao Wei hid in a tree in the hinterland of Mang Mountain.He didn't dare to sleep on the ground or in a cave. Someone would find it if he didn't make sure.Moreover, he couldn't sleep at all when he slept in other places, and Qiao Wei, who was lying on the tree, had a dream that he hadn't had for a long time.

On the battlefield, a group of thousand-man cavalry began to charge.The three leaders are all soldiers who have just joined the army, one is fat, one is thin and the other is a strong man. The three don't know each other but rush to the front at the same time.

Fat Li Tao, skinny monkey Wei Bin, strong man Qiao Wei.Three people and three riders rushed into the enemy camp, killing the enemy all the way like chopping melons and vegetables, and rushed into the hinterland of the enemy camp in one breath.Surrounded by enemies, one's own cavalry rushed into the enemy's camp behind him, and then were shot down by waves of feather arrows.

This battle can be said to have shocked the world. The cavalry army was able to lose one to one against the upper cavalry army.One is the ace cavalry army, well equipped and all of them are elite soldiers.One is a miscellaneous army that has not been formed recently, with poor equipment and lack of actual combat experience, and it does have a desperate drive.

Meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins, and this group of miscellaneous troops drew a tie with the enemy's ace army.And the three who rushed to the front and killed the most enemies were promoted to corps leader not long after.The fat Li Tao and the skinny monkey Wei Bin, these two guys were originally at odds, but because of Qiao Wei's joining, the relationship between the two was as close as brothers.

On the battlefield, Pao Zesheng is like a brother, and the three of them have participated in more than a dozen battles together since then.In the end, they all ended in victory, but the fat man Li Tao and the skinny monkey Wei Bin failed to make it to the end.

It was a blocking battle with disparate forces, and the right battalion they were in received an order to defend to the death.Even if there is only one soldier left, they must stick to it until the specified time.

Li Tao, the fat man, was stabbed twice with one sword, and Wei Bin, the thin monkey, was stabbed several times. Neither of them could leave the battlefield.And Qiao Wei, who had been shot several times, became the only lucky one.He survived the battlefield, but he failed to kill his two good brothers.Later, he left the barracks, but he did not forget the promise he had made to the two brothers.

Qiao Wei found the families of the two brothers, and then tried his best to help them improve their lives.Helping them build houses and buy fields, spent all of Qiao Wei's savings.And he still didn't think it was enough, he stayed at Li's house all these years.With no worries about food and clothing, he gave all the money to the families of his two brothers, and he has not stopped all these years.

"Fatty, fatty!"

Shouting the name of his long-dead brother, the sweaty Qiao Wei woke up from his dream.He almost fell just now, but luckily he woke up just in time.

Qiao Wei only thought about the families of the two brothers, so after leaving the barracks for so many years, he never got married.It's okay to marry a daughter-in-law, but Qiao Wei has nothing.What can I use to give others happiness, and why should I give them a shelter from the wind and rain?Just because of his pockets, which are cleaner than his face, or does he want to talk to Li Qiang.

Li Qiang actually mentioned this matter to Qiao Wei several times, hoping that Qiao Wei could find a wife.At that time, Li Qiang will give him a house, so that the young couple can live in peace and stability.But the more Li Qiang said that, the less Qiao Wei would agree to his proposal.What he disliked the most in his life was to owe favors to others.

The only thing in the world that cannot be clearly marked is favor, especially if you owe a favor that may last a lifetime, I am afraid that you will have to bear this debt for the rest of your life.

Qiao Wei, who never thought about getting married, always regarded Li Qiang's three children as his own children.He is very kind to Li Qiang's two daughters, especially Li Ming, who is always troublesome.

This kid has a sweet mouth, and he will come to Qiao Wei whenever he gets into trouble.He yelled at Uncle Qiao one by one, and in the end he didn't want Qiao Wei to help him deal with his father.Li Qiang, who has always had a good temper, no one can interfere in the education of his son Li Ming.But he can listen to Qiao Wei's words, because he has long regarded Qiao Wei as a brother.

Thinking of this, Qiao Wei's heart felt like a cat scratching.If the real murderer can't be found out, then Dawn will be the scapegoat.Even if he risked his old life, Qiao Wei would not let this happen.

Qiao Wei disguised himself again, this time he entered the county seat with a box.No one would recognize him in this attire, so he could safely and boldly walk on the streets of An County.He went to the county yamen first, but the yamen servant told him that County Wei Longfei was not in the yamen.It is said that he went to Loei Mansion, so that he could visit Loei Mansion.

It really didn't take a lot of effort to find a place after breaking through the iron shoes. Originally, Qiao Wei had to go to the county government first and then return to Li's house.Now that County Wei Longfei has also gone to Li's house, Qiao Wei can just go to Li's house to find him.

He walked into the gate and asked the steward at the gate, and after getting confirmation, Qiao Wei walked into the Li family compound.But just as he walked down the steps, he suddenly looked back at the steward at the door.With a sinking heart, he turned around and ran away. He had already sensed the danger at this moment.It's a pity that Qiao Wei was still one step too late. Just as he was about to escape from the gate of Li's Mansion, an iron spear that suddenly appeared flew back to the Li's compound.

The door was slowly closed, and Qiao Wei, who was not yet in good shape, half knelt on the ground.Many soldiers in armor poured out around them, and then three more people walked out of the living room.Qiao Wei recognized two of them, and wanted to rush towards one of them, but was stopped five steps away by soldiers holding iron spears.

Among the three were Li Ling and Li Cheng. With Qiao Wei's sharp eyesight, he probably already guessed the identity of the middle-aged man who spoke in an official accent.Not long after he took office in Lai'an County, Zhang Liang was the closest county magistrate to the Li family brothers.

Unable to escape this ambush, Qiao Wei also failed to commit suicide as he wished.But what he is most grateful for is the thought he left behind when he entered the city.Qiao Wei didn't bring that box with him, so even though he was captured alive, that person couldn't get the contents of that box.

Li Ming, who was imprisoned, finally hoped for a companion this time.But when he saw groom Qiaowei, even his last hope was completely shattered.Now that the matter has developed to this point, Li Ming has nothing to say.Anyway, it's a knife anyway, early death and early reincarnation.

Liming thought it simple, but Qiao Wei suffered a great crime.Not to mention the common tortures, even severe punishments that are rarely used on prisoners, Qiao Wei used them all this time.

The first time Qiao Wei was interrogated, the county magistrate Zhang Liang had clearly given Qiao Wei two choices.Either immediately admit that he was ordered to kill Li Qiang, or he will be tortured and then admit that he was ordered to kill Li Qiang.

Qiao Wei was naturally dissatisfied, but Zhang Liang was not angry.Instead, he took out all the eighteen tortures from the prison, and used them on Qiao Wei one by one.The first interrogation took two hours, and Qiao Wei was tortured four times.Qiao Wei passed out three times from the pain, and was woken up each time by the red hot iron.

In the second interrogation, Zhang Liang actually asked Li Cheng and Li Ling to watch on the scene.He even listened to the suggestions of the two and slightly improved some tortures.The second interrogation took three hours, and a total of six torture methods were used.Qiao Wei walked through the ghost gate six times, and was rescued every time by the three doctors on the scene.

Qiao Wei once begged the three doctors in a low voice, hoping that they could help him.Only ten kinds of torture were used in the eighteen tortures, which has already forced Qiao Wei into a desperate situation where he wanted to die.No matter how tough a man is, he will inevitably feel fear of the remaining eight tortures.

In the third interrogation, Zhang Liang was not present at all, but Li Cheng and Li Ling were on the scene to direct.They each used two tortures, and the remaining four will be held in the fourth interrogation.

Without Zhang Liang present, Qiao Wei, who had already lost consciousness from the pain, yelled at the two of them: "Brother Qiang told me a long time ago, don't think that no one knows that you want to kill Brother Qiang. The carriage is something you sent someone to do." , The person who followed us was also sent by you. But you didn't expect it, even if you killed me and Brother Qiang, you would never get the things in the box. "

Li Cheng and Li Ling looked at each other, but they saw different emotional fluctuations in each other's eyes.Maybe they were both playing a game of cat and mouse, but now it seemed like they didn't know who was the last cat.

After three consecutive interrogations within two days, Zhang Liang came to the prison before sunset.Arranging Qiao Wei to be interrogated by the officials on both sides of the hall can be regarded as Zhang Liang's last chance for Qiao Wei.Because according to his prior budget, Qiao Wei died when the eighteen tortures were exhausted.

Since Qiao Wei doesn't like this, then Zhang Liang should have a good chat with him.He hoped that Qiao Wei would be enlightened and stop talking about loyalty to the dead Li Qiang.

Qiao Wei has a great future ahead, as long as he admits that he was instructed to kill Li Qiang.Zhang Liang will find a substitute to replace Qiao Wei, then retrieve the box and give the contents of the box to the Li brothers.Qiao Wei just ask what he wants, no matter what conditions he asks, the Li brothers will not bargain.

It seems that this business will be of great benefit to Qiao Wei, but only if Qiao Wei can be ungrateful.But if Qiao Wei was such a person, how could he leave the barracks because of his two brothers.If he hadn't left the barracks back then, he would have been a colonel or even a captain now.

Moreover, Li Qiang's only son, Li Ming, was involved in the crime Zhang Liang made him admit.Let him admit that Li Qiang was killed by Li Ming's instructions.How could such words come out of Qiao Wei's mouth.

Sitting on the high hall, Zhang Liang said: "Qiao Wei, I can tell you very clearly now. It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, we have already written the statement for you. Just put your fingerprint on it, and the The case can be closed. As long as you are dead or alive, it has no effect on this case."

Kneeling under the hall, Qiao Wei said: "Then why are you wasting so much time on me? Don't think I don't know, you all want what's in that box. Not only the Li brothers, but you too I want to swallow the contents of that box to myself. Mr. Zhang, are you right?"

"Hahahaha! As expected of the old servant who has been with Li Qiang for so many years, he has a bit of Li Qiang's ability. You are right, I just want to get what is in that box. As long as you give me the box, I can I will ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life." Zhang Liang said after laughing wildly.

Qiao Wei showed a cold smile and said: "Although you are a county magistrate, you don't know what a brother is. Li Qiang and I are not simple masters and servants. We have been brothers for a long time. I regard Brother Qiang's children as brothers." My own children also regard the Li family as their own. You want to take over what belongs to the Li family, do you think I will agree?"

"Hehe, then don't blame me." Zhang Liang sneered, pulled out a command arrow and threw it out, and said sharply: "Come here, let me serve you with great punishment!"

Qiao Wei's heart-piercing screams sounded in the courtroom, but the screams stopped abruptly because Qiao Wei had passed out from the pain.After Bell woke up with a basin of cold water, Zhang Liang's voice rang in Qiao Wei's ear.

"Qiao Wei, I will ask you one last time. Did you deliberately throw Li Qiang off the cliff under Li Ming's instructions?"
