There are always bad guys who want to attack me

Seeing the middle-aged Confucian scholar's face full of unwillingness, but he had to swallow his anger and nod in the end, Gao Zijian felt extremely proud.

He just likes the feeling of playing with other people in applause, it's really wonderful!

It's a pity that he only saw the middle-aged Confucian scholar deliberately pretending to swallow his anger, but he couldn't see the sneer and murderous intent in the middle-aged Confucian scholar's heart.

The Hunjun system has discovered it, but its purpose is to use Gao Zijian to let the Tartars enter the customs and overthrow the entire Daliang. How can it remind Gao Zijian at this time?

Gao Zijian didn't realize that the danger was approaching, but secretly complacent, thinking that everything was under control.

As soon as the contract was completed, the middle-aged Confucian scholar decided to return immediately. Gao Zijian intended to keep him for a while, but thought that he hadn't got the things yet, so he gave up.

Then, he specially arranged a team of guards to escort the middle-aged Confucian scholars to the border.

In this regard, the middle-aged Confucian scholar did not refuse, and agreed gratefully.

Before leaving, Gao Zijian specially prepared delicious food and wine for the middle-aged Confucian scholars, and even arranged for Meiji to serve him.It's a pity that the middle-aged Confucian scholar is eager to return to his heart, even if he is greedy, he is unwilling to make trouble for two women.

He only drank some wine and ate some food, then wiped his mouth and offered to leave directly. Gao Zijian couldn't persuade him to stay, so he could only watch him leave.

As soon as he left Prince Ning's mansion, the middle-aged Confucian scholar breathed a sigh of relief, and then he got into the carriage provided by Gao Zijian and ordered his people to rush to the border immediately.

It's a pity that he was careless for a while, and didn't realize that his every move had already been watched by others.

Sitting in the carriage, feeling drunk, he couldn't help but think of the high salary that Jeju Khan had promised him, and he couldn't help but feel more complacent, thinking that the ten years he spent in the north had finally been worthwhile.

Now that Gao Zijian has taken the bait, as long as the army enters the Central Plains in a few days, the whole world will completely change hands.When Yezhu Khan, who he followed, succeeds in succeeding to the throne, he has made great achievements this time, and his future is bound to be limitless!

The more the middle-aged Confucian scholar thought about it, the more complacent he became, but he found that the aftertaste of drinking was quite strong, so he couldn't help but fell asleep in the carriage, and finally fell asleep completely.

As a result, when the carriage drove out of Daning City and arrived at a desolate suburb, dense arrows rained down. The soldiers in charge of the escort were unprepared, and they were hit by arrows one after another and fell off their horses, even the coachman was no exception. .

It wasn't until the middle-aged Confucian scholar was woken up with a whip that he was tied up and placed in a narrow and dark cellar.

The cellar was rough dug and full of earthy smell, but the middle-aged Confucian scholar couldn't care less about it. After waking up from the pain, he suddenly opened his eyes, and when he saw who was holding the whip in front of him, his expression changed drastically. , furiously said: "It turned out to be you! What do you want to arrest me? Let me tell you, I am a distinguished guest of Prince Ning's son. If you arrest me, the prince will never forgive you!"

The one holding the whip was none other than the sturdy man who brought him into the city a few days ago and took him a jade pendant as a thank you gift.The middle-aged Confucian scholar can only be blamed for his bad luck. This strong man happened to have a blood feud with the Tartars. The middle-aged Confucian scholar not only took refuge in the Tartars, but also served as a lobbyist for the Tartars. He wanted to invade the Central Plains. How could the strong man tolerate him?

So this time, he led his men to shoot and kill all the escorts, and after cleaning up the traces, he tied the middle-aged Confucian scholar here and interrogated him himself.

He raised his arm, whipped the middle-aged Confucian scholar severely, and said disdainfully: "Your Majesty? It's a pity that he will die soon!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged Confucian scholar's face changed drastically again, and he was horrified in his heart: "You... who are you?" At this moment, if he doesn't understand that this strong man is definitely not an ordinary merchant, he is a fool!

It's a pity that the strong man won't obediently tell him his identity, so he sneered and said deliberately: "Remember, Lao Tzu is your ancestor!" After speaking, he gave the middle-aged Confucian scholar a severe whip.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar was just a scribe, how could he bear such a crime, he soon screamed in pain, and argued in his mouth: "I am just a scholar, you... have you arrested the wrong person?"

"You know if you caught me wrong!" The strong man gave him several whips, and seeing him screaming, he said, "Anything I ask you, answer obediently. If you dare to talk nonsense, I will give you a whip." !"

After finishing speaking, a few more whips were drawn down.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar couldn't stand it anymore, and began to beg with a pale face, "You...what do you want to know?"

The strong man snorted coldly, and then asked: "Be honest, who are you? What did you do after you went to Prince Ning's Mansion! What's your purpose? You'd better not lie, otherwise..."

As he spoke, he gestured to a person not far away, and then that person walked up to the middle-aged Confucian scholar and took out a letter from his arms.

When the middle-aged Confucian scholar saw that familiar letter, his heart sank completely.

This is not an ordinary letter, but a contract between him and Prince Ning's son!The other party had obviously searched his body, so it was useless for him to quibble, on the contrary, he would still suffer.

He hesitated in his heart for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "I...I can say, but I want to see your master."

He is also cunning, seeing that the strong man seems to have a deep hatred for him, so he wants to meet the strong man's master, and plans to use his three-inch color to persuade the other party to use him, and even join Ye Zhu Khan together!

In this way, not only is his arrest not a disaster, but it can also become a great achievement!

It's a pity that he is cunning, and a strong man is not a fool, so how could his scheme succeed?

Without further ado, the strong man gave him more than a dozen lashes, each of which was merciless, until his skin was torn to pieces, and finally passed out from the pain.

Only then did the strong man sneer and let out a "bah", picked up the salt water next to him and poured it directly on the wound of the middle-aged Confucian scholar.

"Ah—" This time, he woke up from the pain.

But the brawny man raised the bloody whip in his hand, and said coldly: "I just taught you a lesson, you have to say it if you say it, and you have to say it if you don't say it! If you want to play tricks, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar immediately understood that this strong man was a ruthless character at all, and he would not be fooled by him just because of a word or two.

As a result, his hope of turning over was almost completely shattered.

For a moment, the middle-aged Confucian scholar even thought crazily that he would just die and let the other party get nothing!

It's a pity that just when he was about to bite his tongue to kill himself, the strong man directly pinched his jaw roughly, and stuffed a round thing into his mouth. The thing had a sharp cone, and directly stabbed him mercilessly. into his tongue.

The intense pain that surged at that moment made the middle-aged Confucian scholar wish to die immediately, but his tongue was so painful that even a slight movement of his tongue would cause severe pain.

What was even more frightening was that the ball had been soaked in something, and it was as bitter as Coptis chinensis, and this bitterness was very irritating to the wound, as if it amplified the pain tenfold.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar was completely desperate now. He looked at the strong man in horror, as if he was looking at a demon.However, when the strong man noticed his terrified gaze, he just smiled coldly: "What? Now that you know you are afraid? Wouldn't it be better if you were honest just now? It's a pity that I don't want to listen to you now, so you just tell me nothing Write it down, and when what you write satisfies Laozi, Laozi will pull that thing out of your mouth."

After finishing speaking, he directly moved a simple wooden table and placed it in front of the middle-aged Confucian scholar, then unfastened his right hand and asked him to write honestly.

Such a posture must be very inconvenient to write. Unfortunately, the middle-aged Confucian scholar has no choice at all. If he wants to be freed earlier, he has to honestly write out everything he knows, without daring to omit a single word.

On the other side, Taiping was taken to a military camp along with other villagers.When he arrived, he found that they were not the only ones who were arrested, but also many people from other villages.

However, after inquiring privately, he discovered that these forcibly captured people were from some remote villages.

Obviously, although Gao Zijian used the name of Gao Haichong to force conscription, he still didn't dare to be too blatant.So he started from those remote villages, but he didn't dare to attack those villages close to the town.

This discovery reassured Taiping a little. Since Gao Zijian did not dare to be blatant, it meant that his preparations were not sufficient, or in other words, he was not yet ready to rebel, and only dared to make small moves.

It's a pity that this military camp is remote and the defense of the military camp is very tight. Although no one cares if they want to talk in private, if they dare to leave their place, they will be dealt with by military law!

He couldn't even get out of the barracks, let alone send news to Gao Zixin.

After Taiping realized the situation, he had no choice but to rest his thoughts of being a whistleblower, suppressed himself, and followed the others to train obediently.

It's just that those who were forcibly recruited are obviously not taken seriously. The weapons issued to them are just wooden spikes made of sharpened wood, and the quality of the wood is not good, and it will break with a little force.

Their training is also very loose, and their food and housing are even worse. They can only eat a bowl of gruel cooked with messy weeds a day, and they are not full at all.

Fortunately, his body has been hungry for too long, so it is not suitable for eating too much. After eating those strange-tasting wild vegetable porridge, it will help him detoxify by the way.

Only in this way, Taiping became even more hungry.

He stared in the direction of the capital calmly, his heart full of thoughts—what are Ling'er and Bao'er doing now?
