Taiyuan is a large city in the north, so the size of the posthouses in the city is naturally not small. There are nearly dozens of rooms of various sizes. In ancient times, the posthouses were somewhat similar to modern guest houses or hotels, where officials who delivered official documents and came and went could stay: Delivery Those who want information can also drink tea here and change horses.
During the Tang Dynasty, the posthouse system was actually very developed and numerous. Efficient post house operation can ensure timely and accurate transmission of information, which is an important guarantee for victory in the war.
From the moment Li Tai and others entered the city and decided to move into the post house, Wang Liaoyuan ordered people to completely clear out the residents in the post house. Of course, he did not directly drive them out, but paid for it with the governor's office. , invite these people to stay in the inn temporarily.
Anyway, you can live wherever you want, and the accommodation environment of the inn is better than that of the post house. Therefore, the original residents of the Taiyuan post house also cooperated with the "work" of the governor's office and moved to the inn one after another. On the other side, all the teachers and students of Yanhuang Academy and the Forbidden Army are "occupied", and the security of the post house is also fully taken over by the Forbidden Army. It seems that this place has been built into a "military base".
In a secret room to the east of the post house, the Imperial Guards had transformed it into a temporary cell. There was a man with disheveled hair, his hands and feet tied to a wooden frame, his skin and flesh all over his body, and his clothes were torn in many places due to whipping. At this time, he lowered his head and remained motionless. Since his face was completely blocked by his hair, others could not see clearly whether he was unconscious or awake.
When Dugu Xin walked into this cell, he saw such a scene.
Zhang Dafu stood next to Dugu Xin. In fact, he was supporting Dugu Xin all the way. However, when he approached the cell, Dugu Xin asked him to let go of his hand, so he did not continue to support him. At this time, he saw Dugu Xin looking towards the cell. The assassin's eyes revealed confusion, and he quickly explained in a low voice:
"General, this guy is not unconscious, but no matter how we beat him, he remains silent, as if the punishment did not fall on him!"
After saying that, he quickly said to the two sergeants in the cell: "Go! Lift this guy's head! Oh, bring another chair over here!"
Duguxin had just been detoxified in the morning, and his body was very weak at this time. It was good to be helped to the cell, but he couldn't stand standing for a long time.
"yes!"
The two sergeants in the cell responded, and then one went to move a bench, while the other went to the torture rack and lifted up the assassin's hanging head.
It was a face that was as white as a dead person, and there was a long scar on the right side of the face, directly from under the eyes to above the corner of the mouth. The assassin had his eyes closed before, but after he was raised, he finally opened them. When he saw Dugu Xin with his eyes, he had no reaction and still had a cold expression.
Needless to say, this assassin who was beaten all over was the man who tried to catch Tiedan in the south of the city. He was also the killer that Wang Kui had secretly trained for many years - Star Wolf!
Dugu Xin was sitting on the bench that had just been moved. The moment the assassin raised his head, he looked at the assassin seriously. Seeing that there was no emotion in the assassin's eyes, he lowered his head again. He said:
"Are you Han? And you are also a killer who has been trained for many years. You should be more than one killer under that person, right~?"
Star Wolf didn't take Dugu Xin seriously at first. He thought that Dugu Xin was no different from other forbidden soldiers in the cell. They were just here to torture him and to force out his identity from his own mouth. But as soon as Duguxin said this, Xinglang couldn't help but be stunned: Who is he? How did he know that he was a killer who had been trained for many years
However, it was only a slight shock. Star Wolf's face quickly returned to its original cold look, and he still said nothing.
But Dugu Xin had been staring at him. Although the look of surprise on his face was quickly hidden, it was still captured by Dugu Xin. Dugu Xin smiled slightly and continued:
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your acquiescence! You must be curious about why I know that you are a killer specially trained by others. In fact, it is very simple. It is impossible to withstand long-term cruel and rigorous training. The punishment of the Forbidden Army, and killers meet this requirement! Please help me think about it, which family and force in Taiyuan City have the strength to cultivate a killer like you? "
Xing Lang's eyes flashed and he looked at Dugu Xin slightly, but he still didn't speak, although he had to admit in his heart that Dugu Xin's guess and analysis were very accurate.
Seeing that Xing Lang was still silent, Dugu Xin was about to say something when a sergeant suddenly walked in from outside and whispered beside Dugu Xin: "General Qi, the head of the Wang family is here and is waiting in the front hall!"
The head of the Wang family! Wang Yu!
When he heard the words "Master of the Wang Family", Xing Lang's pupils shrank suddenly. Dugu Xin, who was about to turn his head to convey instructions to the sergeant, happened to catch the strange look in Xing Lang's eyes. He couldn't help but feel a move in his heart and said to the sergeant:
"This general is currently interrogating criminals. Go and invite the head of the Wang family here!"
The sergeant was stunned when he heard this, thinking that Wang Yu is also the head of the Wang family, and he is also half a guest. How can he entertain guests in the cell
Although he thought so in his heart, the sergeant still cupped his fists and accepted the order: "Yes! General!"
The sergeant didn't realize that when he heard that Dugu Xin wanted to invite Wang Yu into the cell, the expression of Xing Lang on the torture rack had changed! It becomes a little bit unnatural!
Although it was only a slight change, how could he escape Dugu Xin's eyes? In the beginning, Xing Lang's face had always been a cold, dead face. Now this slightly unnatural face is completely different from the previous one. Contrast. There is something wrong with this man. Could it be that he has some connection with the Wang family
Such a bold guess suddenly appeared in Dugu Xin's mind!
"Are you from the Wang family~?"
Just say what comes to mind, Dugu Xin looked directly into Xing Lang's eyes and said the guess that just emerged from his heart.
Before Xing Lang could react, Zhang Dafu and two other sergeants beside Dugu Xin were all startled when they heard this, and they couldn't help but look at Dugu Xin in horror.
The corners of Xing Lang's mouth moved slightly, and the expression on his face was incomprehensible, but he still didn't speak, making people wonder if he was mute!
Dugu Xin didn't get angry. He said calmly: "It doesn't matter if you don't tell. If you are from the Wang family, the head of the Wang family will definitely recognize you when he comes soon!"
"General, the head of the Wang family is here!"
As soon as Duguxin finished speaking, a soldier outside the door cupped his fists and said.
This really means that Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here.
