C1105C1046 For troubled times! (1)

Chapter 1105 Chapter [-] is for troubled times! (one)

The lights were dim, reflecting everything around it like a ghost.

The punishment room at the back of the Tongshan county government office is not that big. In the light of oil lamps, the desk of the owner of the punishment room is huddled in a small corner.In the middle of the room is a bench for killing majestic sticks, a shelf for sitting on a tiger bench, and two torture racks for binding people, one of which was occupied by Lu Wenke, and black blood clots formed on the wood and the surrounding ground of the other rack. , speckled, daunting.

Hanging on the surrounding walls are all kinds of instruments of torture, finger clamps, all kinds of iron brazing, and strange-shaped knives. They glow strangely on the green and damp walls, which is very impressive. I wonder why there are so many torture tools in such a small county.There were some instruments of torture piled up on the ground at one side of the room. Although the room looked cold, the charcoal basin was not burning, and there was a branding iron for torture in the charcoal basin.

Perhaps because it was so close to the yamen's toilet, the dull musty smell, the smell of the previous prisoner's vomit, the smell of defecating, and the smell of blood mixed together.

Lu Wenke once saw and smelled these things in the yamen of Hongzhou. At that time, he felt that there was a reason for the existence of these things.But at the moment in front of him, the sense of fear accompanied by physical pain surged out wave after wave from the depths of his bone marrow like a cold wave.

He was screaming at the top of his lungs.

This was the last ray of hope he kept in his heart.

When the county magistrate arrived, he was tied to the rack, already dizzy, and took off his pants when he killed Wei Bang just now, so he was not wearing anything under the robe, and he did not know how much blood flowed from his buttocks and thighs. This was the most humiliating moment in his life.

The county magistrate of Tongshan County, surnamed Huang, was named Wendao. He was about 30 years old and had a thin body. After entering, he frowned and covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief.He seemed quite annoyed at the fact that someone was yelling in the backyard of the yamen, and he didn't know it. After entering, he cursed a few words, moved a stool and sat down.Two yamen servants who had had dinner outside also rushed in at this time, explaining to Huang Wendao how vicious the people on the rack were, and Lu Wenke also yelled wronged and began to report himself.

"To shut up--"

Amidst the commotion, the county magistrate Huang yelled, pointed at the two yamen servants, and then said to Lu Wenke, "Say it." Seeing that the two yamen servants dared not speak any more, the fire in Lu Wenke's heart grew a little stronger. He quickly began to talk about the series of things after arriving in Tongshan County.

Jurchen went south for more than ten years. Although the Central Plains fell and the world was in chaos, he still read sage books and received a good education.His father and elders often talked to him about the decline of the world, but they also kept telling him that there are always male and female, yin and yang, and black and white.Even in the best world, it is inevitable that people's hearts will be filthy, and no matter how bad the world is, there will always be those who do not want to join in the filth and come out to guard a ray of light.

He traveled all the way, went to the most dangerous place in the southwest and then came out all the way, but everything he saw was still mostly good people.Arriving at Detong Mountain now, experiencing all this filth, and seeing a series of things that happened to Wang Xiuniang, he was once so ashamed that he couldn't even look into Wang Xiuniang's eyes.At this time, the only thing that can be believed and that can save him is this glimmer of hope.

He finished the matter in detail, and the crying in his mouth was gone.The county magistrate Huang on the opposite side was sitting and listening quietly, his serious gaze made the two yamen servants want to move but dared not move. After saying this, magistrate Huang asked a few more simple questions, He answered them all.The torture room became quiet, and Huang Wendao thought about all of this. It took a while in such a depressing atmosphere.

……

"Is there... Wang Fa!?"

Lu Wenke, who was tied and hung on the rack, heard the county magistrate's words slowly and deeply, and looked at the two yamen servants.

"The Li family, you really think you can cover the sky with one hand in Tongshan!?"

"Who are you from? Do you think this county magistrate of this official was given by the Li family!?"

County magistrate Huang pointed at the two yamen servants, and the scolding in his mouth was deafening.Tears almost fell from Lu Wenke's eyes.

The two yamen servants quickly argued that this was the prisoner's sidelines, and the magistrate Huang waved his hand: "I can make it clear! You guys—let me put him down!"

The two yamen servants hesitated for a moment, and finally came over and untied the rope that bound Lu Wenke.Lu Wenke's feet landed on the ground, and the pain from his legs to his buttocks was so painful that he almost didn't feel like his own body. However, just as he was out of the catastrophe, his heart was full of blood, and he finally stood still unsteadily, pulling the lower end of his robe, and said: : "Student, student's pants..."

The magistrate Huang took a look: "Go out first, and someone will bring it to you later."

"Yes Yes……"

Lu Wenke nodded. He tried to move forward with difficulty, and finally stepped out step by step. When he was about to pass by the Huang county magistrate, he hesitated to take a step, but the Huang county magistrate stared at the two yamen servants and held his hands. Spread out: "Go."

Lu Wenke gritted his teeth and walked out of the execution room.

After walking a few more steps in this way, he held the door frame with his hand, and stepped out of the threshold of the execution room.Outside the punishment room is a small courtyard behind the yamen, above the courtyard there is a square sky, the sky is dark, with only faint stars, but a little fresh air at night has passed through, and it is completely different from the musty smell in the punishment room.

He thought of Wang Xiuniang, after what happened this time, he was finally not ashamed of her...

bang——

What came from behind was a sudden sharp pain...

……

Lu Wenke couldn't react.

There was no stress reaction in almost the whole body.His body fell forward, and because his hands were still grabbing a little hem of the robe, his face fell straight to the ground, and what came after that was not pain, but an unspeakable body impact, and his head With a buzzing sound, the world in front of me turned black, then turned white again, and then continued to go dark again, repeating this several times...

buzzing buzzing...

The sound spread, so good for a while.

There was a rustling sound in his mouth, an infiltrating, terrifying sweet taste, his mouth had been broken open, half of his teeth seemed to be falling out, and in his mouth, they were mixed with flesh and blood.

"you……"

Someone seemed to be speaking from behind, and it sounded like it was Master Qingtian just now.

Lu Wenke shook his body. He tried hard to turn his head to look at the situation behind him, but there were only flying flowers in his eyes. Countless butterflies were flying around like his broken soul.

"You...haven't...answered...my question..."

After an unknown period of time, he struggled to understand the complete meaning of this sentence.

what is the problem……

who ever asked me a question...

He couldn't understand it in his mind, he opened his mouth, and couldn't speak for a while, only blood foam swirled in his mouth.

"I...just now I was asking you, do you think...the emperor is almost gone, who gave me the county magistrate..."

"I asked you just now...the Li family is in Tongshan...can you really cover the sky with one hand..."

"I ask you..."

"...Is there still Wang Fa—"

The county magistrate surnamed Huang held a stick, and after saying this, he swung the stick hard on Lu Wenke's leg again.

"I treat you so well, you want to leave without even answering your questions. Are you despising me? Ah!?"

His stick fell, and so did his eyes. Lu Wenke turned around on the ground with difficulty. At this moment, he finally saw the face of the county magistrate Huang who was nearby. In the sunken black eye sockets, what flickered was a devouring fire, and that flame was as black as the night in the square sky.

The county magistrate was laughing, the two yamen servants were also laughing, and the sky behind was also laughing.

"...After leaving, you dare to come back to complain...and report your name and family background...traveling the world, what are you swimming in, do you think you can walk out of Tongshan alive...shame! Tie him up to me , wait for Xu Butou to come, and greet him well..."

The two yamen servants dragged him back to the execution room, tied him up on the rack, slapped him again, and humiliated him for not wearing pants at the rack.Lu Wenke was tied and hung there with tears in his eyes. He cried for a while and wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't say anything, and he was whipped up again by the big ear: "It's useless to shout, and I don't understand! Tell me to slap me again!" kill you!"

Another yamen servant said: "You won't survive tonight, wait until the head catcher arrives, hey, you will feel better."

He said again: "If I had known this before, you should obediently send that girl up, otherwise there would be nothing like this..."

Fear and remorse were mixed together in Lu Wenke's heart. He grinned his mouth with half of his teeth missing, and wept uncontrollably. Tied here, unable to move after all.

I don't know how long it has been like this, and I don't know what happened outside, suddenly there was a small commotion, and the two yamen servants also went out for a while.When they came in again, they took Lu Wenke off the shelf again. Lu Wenke tried to struggle, but it was futile. After being beaten a few more times, he was tied up and put in a sack.

They loaded the sacks into the car, and then bumped along the way, not knowing where to send them.Lu Wenke lived in great fear for a while, and when he was released from the sack again, he was in a hall surrounded by bright torches and lights, and there were many people watching him up and down.

He was dizzy and vomited for a while. Someone cleaned the blood from his mouth, and then someone kicked him to the ground, questioning him sternly.This questioning lasted for a long time, and Lu Wenke subconsciously told everything he knew. He talked about the people who walked along the road, about Wang Jiang, Wang Xiuniang and his daughter, and about the people he met on the road. , Those precious things, in the end, the other party stopped asking, so he subconsciously knelt down and wanted to beg for mercy, begging them to let him go.

Someone has already picked him up.

They dragged him forward, all the way underground, they walked through the dark and damp corridor, and there was a huge prison cell underground, he heard someone say: "Just so you know, this is the black prison of the Li family, go in, But don’t think about it, here... there is no one—"

Someone lit a torch and carried him through the aisle of the cell. Lu Wenke looked around. In the cell next to him, there were strange people with broken limbs and disheveled hair. Some had no hands, some had no feet, and some kowtowed on the ground. , There was a sound of "ho ho" in the mouth, some women were naked and looked crazy.

"These are all people who have offended our Li family..."

In my mind, I remembered the rumors that the Li family eliminated dissidents in Tongshan...

With a bang, he was thrown into a cell.The torchbearer locked the cell door, and he turned his head to look, and there was a strange dark figure huddled in the corner of the cell—it was not even known whether it was a person or not.

"what……"

Lu Wenke grabbed the railing of the cell and tried to shake it.

"Help me..."

No one paid attention to him, he was shaking faster and faster, the words in his mouth gradually turned into wailing, and gradually became louder, the Li family who sent him over held on to the torch, turned and left.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaa..."

Lu Wenke wailed crazily, shaking the pillars of the black cell crazily, but the flames went away, and one wail gradually turned into more wailing, darkness swept over from every direction, blocking the way of life.

Amidst the horrific wailing, I don't know how many people have fallen into the hell of despair...

……

Those desperate wails could not penetrate the ground.

A layer of dirt and rocks away from this dark prison, in the brightly lit hall of Lijiawu Fort, people finally gradually pieced together an outline of the incident, and also knew the possible name of the murderer.At this moment, the householders of the Li family had already organized on a large scale. They brought fishing nets, lime, bows, arrows, knives and guns, etc., and started the first round of dealing with powerful enemies and killing that villain. Prepare.

Going up through this layer of ground, there are only faint sparks in the dark sky, and those sparks fall to the earth, bringing only insignificant and pitiful light.

After being beaten and scolded by his wife for a whole day, Xu Dong, the chief arrester, found an opportunity to rush out of the house after learning the news of the accident in Wubao of the Li family, and went to the yamen to inquire about the situation. His companion stepped on the steed, ready to go to Wubao of the Li family to help.

County magistrate Huang Wendao chased him out: "I heard that strong man is very fierce."

"It's so fierce, I'm holding back my anger and have nowhere to vent it! Fuck!"

He is tall and tall, riding on a war horse, holding a long knife, and looks mighty and domineering.In fact, he was still thinking about the hero gathering in Wubao of the Li family.As the son-in-law attached to the Li family, Xu Dong has always relied on his high martial arts skills, and wanted to make a name for himself like Li Yanfeng. This time the Li family and the Yan family met, if there were no previous incidents, he would have been the main family. Face figures attended.

Now this matter has been disturbed by those scholars who don't know how to praise, and now there is the one who came back and threw himself into the trap, and was sent to the Li family. The fire cannot be quenched.

"Miao Dao" Shi Shuifang's martial arts is good, but compared to him, it's not that strong, and Shi Shuifang is a foreign guest after all, and he Xu Dong is the out-and-out local snake, the surrounding environment The situation is very clear, as long as he goes to Wubao of the Li family this time, organizes defenses, even takes down the murderer, and makes a big splash in front of everyone in the Yan family, Xu Dong's reputation will also be revealed. As for some problems at home, they will naturally be solved.

In the misty night, he led his companions, a group of five riders, armed to the teeth, and rushed out of the gate of Tongshan County——

At this moment, Yi Shuihan's aura of wind rustling and rustling Yi Shuihan was stirring and crisscrossing.
