Chapter 53 Windfall

After a few hours, Cao Zhen finally sobered up and looked slightly embarrassed.

Naturally, Wu Liang would not mention this matter again, but tacitly changed the subject elsewhere, and said with a smile: "Brother Anmin, I just heard you say that your envoy sent us a spy sent by Lu Bu to search for the tomb. If

It’s getting late today, let’s seize the time and go over for a trial?”

In fact, when he heard Cao Zhen say the two key words "Lü Bu" and "Xung tomb" just now, Wu Liang was already full of interest in this spy.

However, in order to avoid the suspicion of overstepping his bounds, he refrained from going to interrogate Cao Chun alone when he was drunk.

After all, Lu Bu was also a very famous tomb robber in history.

When Dong Zhuo was forced to move his capital to Chang'an, before leaving, he ordered Lu Bu to raid the tombs of emperors, ministers and ministers in Luoyang (now Luoyang) and obtain a large amount of gold and treasures from them.

For this reason, in one of the later generations, Lu Bu also became the famous successor of "Xiling Lishi", one of the "five major tomb robbing sects".

However, Wu Liang specifically checked many historical materials about the "Xiling Warriors" sect, but could not find any documents that could be verified.

In addition, "mountain-moving Taoist" and "mountain-watching Taibao" are also unable to be verified.

The only ones recorded are "Faqiu Zhonglang General" and "Mojin Xiaowei", but these two are just official positions established by Boss Cao, and they belong to the superior and subordinate relationship of the same army. As for whether they parted ways later

The formation of two different sects is unknown.

However, Wu Liang did not doubt Lu Bu's level of tomb robbing at all. He had truly stolen many large tombs. This alone should not be underestimated.

Maybe through this spy, we can really get some information that he doesn't know.

"Easy to say."

Cao Chen nodded, but then glanced at the wine jar in the corner: "But how much of your fine wine...do you still have?"

"There is only one pot at the moment. How many pots should I pack for Brother Anmin to take away?"

Wu Liang smiled.

It's not that he is petty. This wine is indeed not easy to come by. After a jar of corn wine is distilled, it can only produce such a small jar. He still wants to have some left over to conquer Dian Wei.

The sooner this plan is implemented, the better, so as not to cause any accidents and miss such an awesome bodyguard.

"Haha, then as a brother, I won't be polite to my virtuous brother."

Only then did Cao Zhen laugh. He packed a few pots for the accompanying soldiers to carry, and then he pulled Wu Liang out of the house with satisfaction and went straight to the military camp.



Inside the military barracks cell.

A lean middle-aged man was tied to the torture rack, looking at Cao Zhen and Wu Liang with a horrified expression.

At this moment, the linen clothes on his body had been torn several times, mottled blood stains could be seen everywhere, and there were still many unhealed wounds on his body.

These injuries were not caused by Cao Zhen and Wu Liang. This man was already like this when they saw him.

"The villain's name is Yang Wanli. He is from Pinglu in Bingzhou. He was originally a subordinate of Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou. He later defected to Dong Zhuo with Lu Bu. After Dong Zhuo died, he followed Lu Bu and defected to Yuan Shao. Recently, Lu Bu's troops were stationed in the Wuyi area of ​​Jizhou.

"

"Nowadays, there is a shortage of food and wages. Lu Bu took advantage of it when he was in Luoyang, so he sent his villains out to spy on the surrounding tombs. However, they were caught without finding anything."

"Two generals, everything the villain said is true. Please show your support, generals..."

The spy had obviously received more than one beating after being caught. Now when he saw Wu Liang and the others, he took the initiative to explain the situation without asking any questions.

"Now that everything has been explained, what else do you have to ask?"

This was probably the first time Cao Zhen interrogated a prisoner, or the first time he encountered such a frank prisoner. He immediately shrugged at Wu Liang and said somewhat boredly.

"No, there's a flaw!"

Wu Liang suddenly opened his eyes and said, "There is only one truth."

"Where is the flaw? Why didn't I hear it?"

Cao Chun frowned slightly, with a look of confusion on his face.

"Um……"

In fact, Wu Liang didn't find anything wrong, but he felt that his trip couldn't be in vain and he had to deceive the spy again. Maybe he could actually get some information that he was interested in?

Moreover, when he said "flawed" just now, he had been paying attention to the spy's expression, and vaguely saw a trace of panic and uneasiness flashing across his face.

Of course, this "vagueness" may also be his psychological effect and cannot be used as evidence. What's more, no matter who is deceived in this situation, he will inevitably feel a little uneasy.

Anyway, let's deceive first, then forget about it if you really can't deceive.

With this in mind, Wu Liang thought for a moment, and then said nitpickingly: "If a person wants to conceal something, he usually emphasizes some contradictory details in his words. If you really don't know anything,

If you haven't found it, you don't need to tell us about it. Why do you have to say it out loud? This is the biggest flaw."

"Hey, talented brother, what you said seems to make sense!"

Cao Zhen suddenly understood and said in surprise, "A few years ago, I eavesdropped on Cao Zixiu (Cao Ang) having sex. If he accidentally noticed it, I would emphasize the sound of crickets in the courtyard."

Ouch?

Any unexpected gains?

Wu Liang glanced at Cao Chen with disdain, then looked at the spy with a "ferocious light" in his eyes, and shouted loudly: "Tell me! What did you find out?"

"General, spare your life. I really didn't find anything. Even if I had a hundred courages, I wouldn't dare to hide it."

The spy quickly begged for mercy with a grimace.

"It seems that you are unwilling to do anything without resorting to some means. If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude!"

Cao Zhen didn't care about this. After hearing Wu Liang's words, he already concluded that this person had something to hide, so he immediately picked up the whip next to him and started to extract a confession.

"Wait a minute!"

But Wu Liang held down his hand, looked at the spy with a "cruel" smile, and even licked his lips. He saw that the spy's vest was getting cold, and then he deliberately said, "Brother An Min

, I suddenly have a new method, since this person refuses to tell the truth, why not try it on him? "

"What new method?"

Cao Zhen asked curiously.

"Isn't there a rat infestation in the camp recently? Let's catch a rat, put it on the person's abdomen with a bucket, and then use fire to burn the barrel. The rat can't stand the heat and will run away without its life. However, this barrel

The four walls are strong, so it has nowhere to go, so it can only punch a hole in this person's abdomen and drill into his belly with all its strength... Tsk, tsk, tsk, how about it, isn't it interesting?"

Wu Liang's astonishing smile gradually became abnormal, looking particularly terrifying in the dim light of the cell.

"this?"

Cao Zhen was stunned immediately and looked at Wu Liang in astonishment, as if it was the first day he met him.

A drop of cold sweat quietly fell from his temples. This was the first time he had heard of such torture. Let alone trying it, just thinking about it made his vest feel cold and all the hairs on his body stood up. It was simply inhumane...

at the same time.
