Jiangling City, inside the execution chamber.

Zhou Cang has carried the sword for Guan Yu for so long, and this is the first time he has interrogated a prisoner, and the prisoner he interrogated was a beggar.

Overnight, the entire Jiangling City was covered with fake notices.

Clearly, this was a deliberate move.

After some investigation, Zhou Cang identified a beggar.

Someone saw this beggar posting something on the city wall late at night.

Therefore, this beggar naturally became the breakthrough point in the case.

Zhou Cang walked to the desk and sat down.

When interrogating the prisoner, he was still a bit unfamiliar, and he was as if he was separated by a mountain.

What made him even more nervous was that in the next cell, Guan Yu, Ma Liang, Guan Ping, Guan Xing and others were guarding there.

Although the notices plastered all over Jiangling City are fake, the three seals and ribbons are all present, and the pictures and texts are exactly the same.

And the content of the notice is closely related to the ownership of Jingzhou.

This matter is too sensitive.

Everyone wants to know, who instructed this beggar?

Is it Cao Cao from the north?

Or Sun Quan from the east?

This room cannot be regarded as a serious court, but it gives people more pressure than the court. The interior is extremely dark and gloomy because of its small size.

There are heavy shackles, whips, and irons on the wall...

The charcoal fire in the basin was burning red, and there were strong, shirtless torturers standing on both sides.

Their indifferent expressions seemed to tell the prisoners that no matter whether they were princes, nobles or beggars, they were all equal and humble in their eyes.

May I have your name?

Two dogs!

Who instructed you?

You don't know what the official is talking about?

Zhou Cang had a conversation with the beggar.

With a bang, Zhou Cang stood up and said, You know why they sent this general to interrogate you? It's because this general is the most impatient. If you don't take action...

Zhou Cang directly lifted the soldering iron in the brazier, looking like he was about to give in.

The beggar named Er Gou kept shaking his head, Master, I, I don't know what the master is asking?

I would like to remind you, General, that you posted those notices in Jiangling City, right? Who instructed you to put them up?

Zhou Cang's eyes widened. He wanted to use these tiger eyes to scare the beggar in front of him.

Once the beggar is scared out of his wits, the next step will be easy.

Who would have thought that the beggar just nodded lightly, I posted it! But no one told me where to go!

The kindness of a drop of water is repaid by a spring of water.

In ancient times, even beggars would practice this most basic principle. They had the simplest bottom line. They would never betray anyone who gave them food and clothing.

Are you a beggar? Where did you get these notices? You said no one gave instructions.

Zhou Cang's examination became more and more skillful, and his tone became colder.

No one gave me instructions. I just didn't give instructions. I just thought it was fun and played along. The beggar gritted his teeth and kept repeating the same sentence.

It seems... you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Zhou Cang mentioned the red-hot iron.

The beggar sheds tears, still the same sentence...

If he didn't recruit, he would be the only one who suffered. But if he did, those brothers who were begging together, and... and that young master would all suffer, and he knew this.

On the other hand, Guan Yu in the next cell had his eyebrows furrowed and his eyes almost narrowed to a slit.

He has realized that this matter is not simple.

This is a trick!

Ji Chang... Guan Yu looked back at Ma Liang.

Guan Gong. At this moment, Ma Liang was also frowning. He was thinking further. Now that things have happened, notices are posted all over the city.

So…

Soon, people in Jiangling City, Jiangxia, Guiyang, Changsha, and even the entire Jingzhou will know.

Even if this notice is fake, if it is spread like this, it may become true.

And whether it is Cao Jun or Soochow, they can make a big fuss out of this!

This is what Ma Liang is most worried about.

What do you think? Guan Yu sighed.

Ma Liang pondered for a moment and then suggested: It's better not to let General Zhou use torture. How miserable are these beggars? Now that he can do things for others, he must have gained a lot of benefits. It can be seen from the robes he wears. .

Repaying his kindness, and there are probably so many people involved behind him. Even if he is tortured, he won't confess, but...

Ma Liang rolled his eyes and paused.

Guan Yu asked quickly: It's okay if Ji Chang has something to say.

It's better to let him go than to torture him!

Let go? Guan Yu looked at Ma Liang in surprise.

You know, these beggar notices are posted extremely secretly.

After investigation, only this one was found. This was the only clue.

Ma Liang breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion: Only by letting go can we see who he is in contact with? Only then can we hear some clues from their conversation and find out the mastermind behind this!

Ma Liang blurted out these words, Guan Yu's eyes gradually opened, and he took a deep breath.

After ten breaths of silence, he waved his big hand and chanted:

——Let him go!

In the early morning, the morning light is not yet clear.

Beggars gathered in twos and threes outside the cell door of Jiangling City.

Seeing Two Dogs being released, he quickly went to greet them.

A beggar who looked like a boss quickly took Er Gou's hand and asked nervously: Did you say anything?

Ergou shook his head and whispered: I understand the rules, I didn't say anything.

Then they let you go?

Another beggar asked in surprise.

Originally, they were going to hit me, but for some reason, they didn't hit me in the end and let me go...

Ergou's words made all the beggars feel relieved.

The beggar sighed with emotion: It's okay if you don't say anything. From now on, you don't want to see 'Hong Qigong' or his 'old man' anymore. His old man has already sent me some noodles and bedding. You We kept the portion specially.

It's just that he doesn't know about you yet, so we can't let our benefactor worry!

As he spoke, the beggar patted Ergou on the shoulder repeatedly, and Ergou nodded sensibly.

Of course, Hong Qigong is not an old man. The reason why he is called so is the agreement between these beggars.

Although they were begging, they had some rules.

For example... when begging, stay three steps away from others to avoid spreading bad luck and bad luck to others;

For another example, Guan Lin mentioned to them, Don't let others know who he is? What he looks like!

The beggars naturally respect him and always use old man instead of old man whenever they mention Guan Lin.

This time it was because I didn't pay attention and said the three words Hong Qigong too much.

Although, this is just a small episode.

Can…

After the beggar leader finished speaking, the eyes of the driver who was pushing a cart of vegetables to the cell suddenly widened, and the light in them flickered.

However, this only happened for a moment. Soon, he continued to shout at the officers and soldiers in front of the cell.

Today, the dishes have been delivered. They are all plump. Please take a look!

Except for this coachman...

There was also a woman who looked small and cute, and did not look like a local. She was also standing outside the cell, crying from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone.

And when the three words Hong Qigong came out of the beggar's mouth.

Her sobs stopped suddenly, and her eyes casually and meaningfully glanced at the beggar.
