Chapter 17. The Secret in the Knot

The Inca Lesson (Fiction) "The Demolition of the Inca Empire" (Volume 2) Zhang Baotong

After a while, Peterya brought the prince of Cagekata. Pizarro took out the knot and lit it in front of him, saying, "Look at what this is?" Prince of Cagekata said, "This is a knot." Pizarro said, "It's a knot." Pizarro said, "It's a knot." Prince of Cagekata picked up the knot and looked at it for a while, and said, "This is a family letter, which says, "Master, I'm going to have a baby. The weather is going to get cold. My wife and concubine will send you clothes and catch a cold."

When Pizarro heard this, he was furious and slapped the table hard, saying, "Do you still want to play tricks?" and then shouted, "Captain Juan." Juan came in after hearing the sound, "Juan is here." Pizarro pointed at Prince Cagekata and said to Juan, "Take him to the interrogation room and find a way to let him tell what the letter is said." Juan said, "Yes." Then he took Prince Cagekata and others to take Prince Cagekata out of Pizarro's office.

This incident made Pizzaro immediately realize that his past inference was correct, and he felt a sense of comfort and pleasure of drought and rain for many days and puzzled for many days. He poured himself a glass of Chaqi wine, drank two glasses in a row, and then rolled up a cigarette, humming a leisurely and cheerful Spanish song while smoking.

At this time, Antonio came in and asked him if he wanted to check the training of the soldiers in the barracks. He waved his hand and said, "No, why don't you go there anymore, or just go over and take a look." Antonio said seriously, "How can I replace the commander?" Pizarro said, "Then I won't go." Antonio looked surprised when he saw Pizarro's leisurely look, and asked, "The commander has been depressed these days. What happy events have you encountered today? I'm so happy?"

Pizarro pointed to the pile of clothes and meat on the table, told Antonio about the Indian princess just now, and said, "How is it, I say that the culprit of Santos and the others' death was Charkuchima, right?" Antonio said in a very admirable tone, "The commander is really a god!"

Pizarro said proudly, "Because I knew that the person who could capture Santos alive must be a commander who knew the cavalry very well. Among the Indian commanders, he was the only one of the Indians who was familiar with the combat methods of our Spanish cavalry. So, as soon as that happened, I expected that it would be his Charkuccima."

Before he could finish his words, Juan came over and said, "Report to the commander-in-chief, we tortured the prince of Cachicata, but he insisted that the knot was sent to him by one of his new lovers, and said that the knot was that the concubine was about to have a baby and the weather was going to be cold, so he gave him some clothes and meat."

When Pizarro heard this, his cheerful face suddenly sank and asked, "Are you not ruthless enough? So, he refuses to confess?" Juan said, "We took off his clothes, beat him with a whip and broke one of his legs with a wooden stick." Antonio said, "He refuses to confess, you can ask another prince to identify it. I heard that their princes and ministers can recognize the contents of the knot." Pizarro nodded and said to Antonio, "You go and call two princes and ministers to identify it."

Antonio responded and went out. After a while, he called Prince Bescala, the chief of Tungula Province. Prince Bescala bowed timidly and said, "I don't know what the marquis has to do?" Pizarro's face was very gloomy and said, "I want to know if you are truly loyal to the young Inca king." Prince Bescala immediately filled with smiles and said, "Of course, it is true support and infinite loyalty." Pizarro pointed to the small and exquisite knot rope placed on the table and said, "Okay, I want to know what the contents of this knot rope."

Prince Bescala held the knot in his hand, and only looked at it for a while, then said, "This is a family letter from a prince's concubine to his husband. The content said that she was going to have a baby. Besides, the weather was cold and I missed my husband, so I wanted to give him some clothes and roman meat." Pizarro's face became even more gloomy and ugly. He said in a tough tone, "You see it clearly, don't read it wrong." Prince Bescala said, "I have seen this knot too much, and there will be no mistakes." Pizarro said, "I will let others see it. If you read it wrong, I will punish you severely." Prince Bescala said, "If you are wrong, you will follow the marquis." Pizarro had no choice but to ask Antonio to take Prince Bescala away and then bring Ukamayaca, the chief of Pastassa Province.

Prince Ukamayaka entered Pizarro's office and gave a big gift to Pizarro first, and then said, "Mr. Marquis has always been fine?" Pizarro ignored his words and said in a blunt manner, "I have something to help you." Prince Ukamayaka said respectfully, "Mr. Marquis asked for your advice." Pizarro took the knot to the prince and said, "Others give me a knot, but I don't know what's in it. Please give me advice."

Prince Ukamayaka looked at the knot, smiled, and said, "Congratulations to the Marquis." Pizarro wondered, "What do I have to congratulate?" Prince Ukamayaka said, "The Marquis's concubine is happy and is about to have a baby. Of course it is worth celebrating." Pizarro nodded and said, "What else is there?" Prince Ukamayaka said, "Your concubine misses you very much and hopes to see you soon. So, she brought you clothes and llama meat, saying that the weather is cold, so that you can wear more clothes." After hearing this, Pizarro sighed and said to Prince Ukamayaka, "Okay, you can leave."

As soon as Prince Ukamayaka left, Juan asked Pizarro, "What should I do with that Prince Cagekata? Keep him up first?" Pizarro thought for a while, and said, "Forget it, let him go." Juan asked, "Then make him like this, the Inca king and the Indian princes ask about this, how can they answer?" Pizarro said, "Just say that he violated the rules and contacted the outside world privately." Juan nodded and left.

I originally wanted to get some useful information from this knot, but after a long time of hard work, I felt so happy that Pizarro's depressed and troubled mood became even worse. He broke a precious pottery wine glass hard, and then sat alone on the chair in the office, panting in shock. At this time, it was already late, and Tutu pulled him over and asked him to have dinner. But he raised his hand and said angrily, "Don't eat, don't eat." The voice scared my concubine so much that she didn't dare to say more for a long time, but she stood in front of the door and accompanied her with pity.

He smoked cigarettes one by one, piled up a small pile of cigarette butts in the ash box. At this time, he found that Tutula was still standing in front of the door. Looking at the pitiful look of his beloved beauty, his heart softened. He hurriedly stood up, walked over and hugged the beauty in his arms, and said in a reproachful tone, "Why don't you go to eat, are you still standing here?" Tutula fell into Pizarro's arms, squeezed her smile, and said, "If the master doesn't eat, how can I dare to eat?" Pizarro seemed very moved and said, "Okay, my little pigeon, let's eat together." As he said that, he took the beauty's hand and left the office together.
