Chapter 866: Capture and Interrogation (Part 2)
Interrogation of prisoners is usually not so cold as the wind and drizzle. In order to get the prisoners to confess, the methods of interrogation are very fierce and cruel.
I don't know how many incredible torture instruments have been invented from ancient times to the present. The purpose of all torture instruments is to greatly torture the prisoner's body and thus destroy the prisoner's psychological defense.
Li Su understands the truth, but Li Su is not a crazy pervert and has no interest in torture of the prisoner's body. If he can achieve his goal in a more peaceful way, why not do it?
Of course, not using punishment does not mean that the prisoner should be treated as an ancestor. It is harmless to scare a few words appropriately.
Sure enough, when Li Su said that he had arranged for a hundred strong men to abuse her, the female assassin's face changed. It seemed that Li Su's scare was very intimidating to her.
In this era, all women pay attention to reputation. If they are ruined by a hundred men, they will definitely be dead. Moreover, the way of death is too bad to kill people and they will not be reincarnated after death.
Seeing Li Su's changes in the female assassin, she couldn't help but smile.
"I have many ways to make you speak, and let you ruin you are just one of them..." Li Su said, pointing outside the barracks, saying, "Are those who were captured with you, your subordinates or robes, or accomplices. I know you are all dead soldiers. If you dare to do this, you have no intention of living. However, if you die, the way of death is different, and the results will be different. Just imagine, if I order those accomplices to be cut into pieces in front of you, or to cut into pieces in front of your accomplices, and let you see with your own eyes the flesh of the former brothers of robes being pulled down one by one, how would you feel in your heart?"
The female assassin's body trembled again, and finally began to look directly at Li Su, and the hatred in her eyes became stronger and stronger.
Li Su was unaware of it and smiled indifferently: "Don't look at me with such eyes. Eyes cannot kill me. On the contrary, your hatred eyes will arouse my anger, and then vent your anger with your fellow party members. Do you think it's worth it? When you fall into prison, I advise you to know how to endure and remember my appearance silently in your heart, but you must show a smile on your face, keep a useful body, and wait for revenge in the future. This is the right way to do it."
The female assassin immediately lowered her head. Li Su couldn't see her eyes, but it was certain that the hatred eyes were still there, but he just didn't dare to look directly at him anymore.
Li Su said with joy: "Okay, let's explain the pros and cons to you clearly. Let's continue the first question just now and tell me your name."
The female assassin still said nothing, and her white teeth bit her lower lip tightly.
Li Su stared at her quietly, and nodded slowly: "It seems you still don't want to say it. I guess your psychology. You think that if you fall into our hands, you will die anyway. After all, you don't plan to live. If you die, this matter will be considered dead without evidence. There is no need to involve the person behind you who instruct you. Well, simply put, you think you still have chips in your hands, right?"
Li Su didn't expect her to answer and said to herself: "I have to say that your ideas are beautiful and your actions are very comprehensive. If you hadn't revealed your strength before you started, you would have succeeded today's assassination. As for the origin of you and your party and who instructed them behind them, it is your biggest bargaining chip now, so you are confident and feel that we can't do anything to you before without confessing. Well, then, let's continue to guess..."
After a pause, Li Su continued: "From the time I was taken, you and your accomplices have not said a word, so you think I definitely have no way to know your origin, and you are very confident that you think that as long as you don't speak, we will never be able to dig down. But... have you ever thought that perhaps silence is actually the biggest loophole you left?"
The female assassin lowered her head and gritted her teeth.
"Hundreds of thousands of royal divisions in the Tang Dynasty are about to go to war with Goguryeo. This is Jizhou. You can go directly to Pyongyang by water. You can also go to Goguryeo by land. At this moment, I believe that the country is already in aroused in Goguryeo and is ready to resist to the death. Before the war, someone dared to assassinate me, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. So, who else can the person in charge behind the scenes besides the powerful and powerful Goguryeo royal family? So..." Li Su curled his lips and chuckled, "So, I guess you are Goryeo, right? From the time you were taken to now, you don't say a word, and you are afraid of being exposed when you speak, because you only speak Goryeo and don't understand Chinese. However, you may be an accident. Judging from the changes in your expression just now, you should be able to understand Chinese..."
The female assassin was shocked all over and couldn't help but look up at Li Su. The hatred in his eyes had turned into fear, as if he couldn't believe that Li Su could guess so accurately.
Not only the female assassin, but also the guards guarding the barracks, Fang Laowu and Zheng Xiaolou and others looked at him in shock. Obviously, no one expected that Li Su could guess eight or nine points without saying a word from the assassin.
Looking at the female assassin's expression, Li Su couldn't help but feel more confident and smiled: "Don't look at me like this. Just remember that the people of the Tang Dynasty will always be smarter than you imagined. Even if you can't speak, I can peel your coat clean layer by layer. No matter whether you say or not, your secret will be hidden in front of me."
The female assassin trembled even harder, and the face that was covered in mud was not seen changing, but it was imagined that it was pale.
Li Su smiled and said, "Your origin is probably right, so let's continue to guess, who is instructed by Goguryeo, well... In the 16th year of Zhenguan, the Goryeo Kingdom killed the king of Lu Quangasusu, Gao Jianwu, the king of Rongliu, and proclaimed himself "Da Molizhi", and appointed Gao Zang, the nephew of Rongliu, as the king of Goryeo. Although Gao Zang was the king of the country, he was just a puppet. Now, the military and political power of Goguryeo fully holds the hands of Quangasusususususususususususususususususu.
Below, there are three most powerful people in Goguryeo, namely the northern part of the country of Nossa Gao Yanshou, the southern part of the country of Nossa Gao Huizhen, and the self-respecting Quanga Suwen, but Quanga Suwen was helpless with him. The three men of Anshi City Lord Yang Wanchun, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty were at the border. The most nervous people were these three, because they were afraid that the power would be lost after the country was destroyed. This girl, the person who instructed you behind you is probably one of these three people..."
Li Su looked at the female assassin's reaction coldly, and his voice became cold unconsciously: "Then, let's continue to guess, Quan Gai Suwen, Gao Yanshou, Gao Huizhen, these three are the actual controllers of Goguryeo's military and political power. What they must do now is to mobilize troops and generals, consider how to rely on the terrain and city to fight against the attack of the Tang Dynasty's King's Division. They have no time to take care of this kind of secret assassination method. As for Yang Wanchun, the lord of An City...
The city is located between the border between Liaodong and Goryeo. It is the first fortress city for Goguryeo to resist and defend, and it is also the city of Berkeley when the Tang Dynasty's King's Army marched into Goguryeo. As the city lord of Goguryeo's first line of defense, his relationship with Quan Gai Suwen, the leader of Goryeo is both friendly and enemy. I'm afraid the life of Lord Yang City is not very easy? It should not be surprising to think of such a despicable means of assassinating the emperor, so... girl, you were sent by Yang Wanchun, right?"
As if she was struck by a thunderbolt, the female assassin's body trembled violently, her delicate fists were clenched hard, and her finger joints turned white.
Li Su looked at her and sighed softly: "Girl, your trump card has been lifted out by me. At this moment, you have lost all your chips. What qualifications are there to remain silent?"
In the barracks, not only were the female assassins, but everyone looked at Li Su in great shock.
Without saying a word from the prisoner, Li Su actually guessed the origin of the assassins, and the guess was extremely accurate. He instructed the person behind the scenes to implement the specific characters. There are few people in the world today who are young and have high titles. No wonder his success will never be accidental after all.
Li Su stripped the assassins of the origins in one breath. After saying that, Li Su still looked at the female assassin with a smile, without saying anything, her eyes were full of jokes and confidence.
After a while, the female assassin finally spoke, her voice was crisp and she felt a little despair and fatigue. As expected, she actually spoke Chinese, but it was a little stiff and difficult to pronounce, and her pronunciation was not very standard.
"You... Tangren are all demons!" said the female assassin gritting her teeth.
When the people in the barracks heard this, they couldn't help but look at Li Su in shock again.
In a simple sentence, you can tell that this female assassin was not from the Tang Dynasty. Li Su's guess was correct. She was indeed an assassin sent by Goguryeo.
Li Su smiled and looked at her in a gentle tone: "The two countries are fighting each other, and the winner is the king. Only the loser will curse and scold you in anger. This girl hopes that you are more rational. No matter how cruel you scold, it will be useless. We might as well be more friendly and have a few good conversations. Okay, now, answer my first question and tell me your name."
The female assassin gritted his teeth and stopped talking.
Li Su sighed and said, "It seems that you haven't seen the situation clearly. You have to know that you have no value to us now. Do you understand? You are just a group of reckless men. Your origin and behind-the-scenes instructions are your greatest value. But now, I have guessed all these questions. You have lost all your value. Whether you kill you or not is only in the mind of His Majesty the Emperor. So at this time, you'd better cooperate obediently, so as not to suffer unnecessary flesh and blood, nor to avoid the Emperor's furiousness. After breaking through Anshi City, you will start killing the whole city and slaughter the innocent. If you honestly cooperate to answer my question, you may save many lives."
The female assassin lowered her head and tears stumbled down.
The assassination of the emperor was defeated, and all the trump cards were ruthlessly lifted by the Tang Dynasty official in front of him. Now he threatened the lives of innocent people in Anshi City. At this time, the female assassin's psychological defense line had collapsed.
Li Su's patience was almost exhausted at this time. He turned his head impatiently and looked at the sky outside the barracks. His tone gradually became cold and said, "Okay, I'll ask you the last time now. If you don't answer yet, I'm sorry. I'll go to His Majesty's tent immediately and suggest that after conquering Anshi City, he will first kill the city lord Yang Wanchun and the whole family's old, young, and children, and then the army will slaughter the city without leaving any chickens and dogs, so that Anshi City will completely become a ghost city with a radius of 100 miles!"
As he said that, Li Su suddenly shouted: "Now, tell me your name!"
The female assassin gritted his teeth tightly, his lower lip had been bitten and bleeding, as if he was still sticking to the already collapsed line of defense.
Just as Li Su stood up disappointed and was about to leave the barracks, the female assassin finally spoke.
"Gao Suhui, my name is Gao Suhui..."
After saying that, the female assassin seemed to have lost all her strength, collapsed on the ground like a collapse, and then fell to the ground and started crying.
Seeing Gao Suhui crying, Li Su was a little soft-hearted. After all, Li Su had never bullied a woman like this in her two lives. However, when she thought that the two countries could not have any kindness of women, Li Su had to harden her heart: "Your surname is Gao? Could it be that Gao Yanshou or Gao Huizhen sent it? It has nothing to do with the city lord of Anshi?"
Gao Suhui shook her head and cried, "No, I am from...Anshicheng."
"What is your relationship with Yang Wanchun, the city lord of An City?"
Gao Suhui whispered: "It doesn't matter... I was adopted by him since I was a child. He asked a master to teach me the skills of killing, and he will use it after his skills have been completed."
Li Su frowned: "All your accomplices assassins are dead soldiers he raised?"
"……yes."
"How do you know where His Majesty the Emperor is? Today he just decided to travel temporarily. Only the guards around him know that Yang Wanchun had buried the spy next to His Majesty the Emperor?"
Gao Suhui was silent for a moment and said, "...there are no spies. Since we learned that the 300,000 Tang troops were expeditioned in the east, we were assigned by the city lord to leave Anshi City, disguised as Liaodong refugees, and wandered west among thousands of refugees to Jizhou, and searched and waited outside the city all day long. Today, we saw a group of people walking out of the Tang army camp. The leader was walking and walking in a dragon and tiger steps, with extraordinary appearance, and there were many people guarding each other. We guessed that they must be the nobles in the Tang army, and it was probably the head coach Li Ji, or... the Emperor of Tang, so they decided to assassinate."
"In addition to those captured today, how many of your people are there among the refugees outside the city?"
"...I don't know, we were assigned in batches and had no connection with each other."
Li Suruo thought about something.
The whole thing is connected together, and the truth gradually emerges.
It's not complicated to say, just a very simple assassination. When Li Shimin saw his mighty out of the camp, he almost wrote a few big words "I am the emperor, come and kill me." With such a conspicuous target, he felt embarrassed to not take action. As a result, these people's killing skills were too thrilling, and Li Su saw the flaw before he even started. Finally, he failed and captured it in one net.
But, is it really that simple?
Li Su looked at the woman named Gao Suhui in front of him deeply, recalling the way the assassins today valued her so much and fought to protect her with all their lives. If she was really just a female assassin adopted by Yang Wanchun, there was no need for them to do so.
So Li Su suspected that this woman was hiding some truth, especially her identity.
However, Li Su did not continue to ask questions. He knew that even if she asked, she would not say it. What's more, Li Su felt that the real identity of the female assassin might be able to be used, so it is more in the interests of Li Su and Dongzheng not to pursue her true identity.
Standing up, Li Su turned his head to look at her and smiled and said, "There is a saying in our Tang Dynasty, 'Go to the peach and plum, and to the Qiong Yao'. Since you cooperate so much, I will not be too slow to humiliate you. Miss Gao will stay in the barracks temporarily. Although she has no freedom, she will not be able to starve you and freeze you. The same is true for your accomplices. Don't worry, since you have confessed, I will surrender. The Tang Dynasty's king's army will not kill you, and kill you will be unlucky."
