Click-click--a rough key made of cast iron, the size of a palm, tucked into a huge fist-like keyhole and turned.

As the lock cylinder was unfastened, a long chain of iron chains slid down with a scream of joy, and was tied to this thin body for several days and nights, and the chain of pig iron could not bear it.

Boom - the body bound in iron chains fell to the ground sullenly.

"Oh, he won't just die, why didn't he wake up in pain after falling so high?"

A man grunted suspiciously, came over and turned his tightly closed eyelids with his big hand, the eyelids were already swollen and black, and the eyeballs were sunken in the depths, and it took him a lot of effort to see clearly that the pair of eyeballs were all white, and there was no intention of waking up.

Another man kicked his companion in the ass, extremely impatient: "Hurry up, it's too late to catch up with the game - it doesn't matter if he lives or dies, it has a relationship with us!"

"I hope my luck can be good tonight, I will lose miserably for a few nights in a row, it's really fucking unlucky!"

With the scolding left behind, the two of them walked away briskly with big steps.

In this closed and narrow space, it finally quieted down, and the sound of the leather whip snapping **, the persecution of chasing after a chase, and the low and painful moaning of * disappeared.

The stone floor was cold to the bone, and the unconscious consciousness was soaked inch by inch.

Someone shouted in the distance, Bai Ziqi...... Ziqi ...... Brother Qi......

Who is it? Like a grandfather's voice, hearty with kindness, is it a mother, loving and pampered, is it a serving maid, careful with coquettishness and admiration......

He slowly opened his eyes.

The voice receded, he thought about it slowly, shook his head, it's not, it's just an illusion, this qiē is all an illusion, he is still in a deep predicament and can't meet his relatives.

How time passed, he didn't know.

There was no longer a concept or sense of time in his consciousness.

There was no hourglass timer, no sunrise and moonset outside, and he could not see any light from nature that could tell the time, except for two large oil lamps with smoke hanging from a wooden pole.

With a feeling of confusion, he concluded that it was midnight, and that it was late at night, and that it was only when it was late that the gang could stop torturing him, and dropped the whip, yawned and scolded his mother and complained, and went back to gambling or sleeping with a crooked gait.

The hot pain that began in his body disappeared, not that it didn't hurt anymore, but that he had been numb by the pain, and he couldn't feel the pain, however, every village muscle in Zhou's body was tearing, rotting, turning into pus and blood, and going deep into the bone marrow little by little...... Especially these legs, there is a good chance that they will be crippled.

He tried to move, but they were dead, as if they were weighing a thousand pounds of weight, and they were no longer his legs.

If he is crippled, it will be troublesome, his ideal is to ride a horse and shoot arrows, like his grandfather, or one day the imperial examination high school, standing on the court with high spirits to serve the people of the world, if he loses his legs at such a young age, then what is the meaning of living in the future?

Grandfather?

Suddenly, a glimmer of bright color was thrown into the crack of his brain, since he was inexplicably brought here, he was beaten head-on, beating his skin and flesh, to see that he could no longer support it, they brought a few pieces of paper, his eyes were confused with blood, he couldn't see what was written on the paper, they read it, one by one, and then forced him to nod, draw, admit that the above content was correct, and he could testify.

It seems that there are ten of them.

One of them said that in the autumn of the first and second years of our dynasty, the marshal led the army to attack Dajie Mountain, and the army was stationed in the mountain pass, and sent the vanguard officer to lead a hundred death squads to take the lead in entering Dajie Mountain. The imperial court did not know what was going on, and did not hold Zhaoxue and others accountable for the unjust death, but rewarded the marshal and others;

One of them said that at the turn of the spring and winter of the fourth year of our dynasty, we fought with the country of Solo, and the army of 100,000 was defeated by Thoreau's 60,000 old, weak, sick and disabled. More than 20,000 people died of cold and starvation during the siege, until the spring flowers bloomed, the glacier thawed, and the Solo River flooded, and the Solo army could not continue the siege and withdrew the army. Everyone in the world thought that the marshal took the lead and exchanged his life for peace for the people, but they did not know that the defeat and retreat into the nephrite head was a ploy planned by the marshal himself, and in the forty days of being trapped in the nephrite head, the soldiers resisted the attack in front to the death, but the marshal in the back sent people to dig and mine the ore day and night, taking the opportunity to find and plunder the most precious nephrite jade of Soreau. Later, the army was defeated and returned home, and the baggage vehicles in the center of the army were not pulled by dead and wounded soldiers, but by a large amount of nephrite that the marshal had collected for himself.

One of them, said that in the spring of the fifth year of my dynasty, the army crossed Caiyun Mountain, and launched a fierce battle with three small barbarian countries on the southeast border, and fought a bloody battle for 14 days and nights in a row, seeing that the capital of the three small countries was going to be broken at the same time, at this time the marshal suddenly ordered the withdrawal of troops, and the army retreated for thirty miles in a row, stationed in Yuanyang Gorge, this stop was five days, and so on again tangled the army to fight, the three border countries have reorganized and mobilized a large group of men and horses, concentrated on guarding the three capitals, and the siege failed, at this time the marshal said for the court that the enemy is strong, endless, and our brigade expedition, the lone army is deep, and the backup is insufficientIn addition, the soldiers are not accustomed to the water and soil and it is difficult for them to adapt to the harsh local environment, our army cannot win at all, and the long-term confrontation can only consume manpower and financial resources in vain, so we advocate peace talks, and it is precisely that peace talks that have lost the good opportunity for our dynasty to finally eliminate the three southeastern countries. And only a few high-level generals who followed the marshal knew the real reason behind the scenes of the marshal's passive non-fighting, it turned out that when the two sides were facing each other, the three southeastern countries jointly sent envoys to sneak into our army marshal's mansion, and the envoys used a large number of rare treasures as bargaining chips to make a contract with the marshal, and the content of the contract has not been known to anyone, I am afraid that no one knows except the marshal himself. Although the battle was lost, the imperial court once again rewarded the marshal, and the army had not yet returned to the court, and the holy decree of the knighthood had been drawn up. All the soldiers are marshal's cronies, everyone is in collusion with the marshal, and the truth of this war is concealed, so it is always difficult for the court to know what the real situation is, in fact, the biggest traitor to the country is the marshal;

One of them said that in the winter of the ninth year of my dynasty, the world-famous general submitted a resignation to the imperial court with a full title, resigned from all official positions, and said that he had fought for half his life, his body was overdrawn, and he had a dark injury, and it was difficult to continue to be an official in the court, so he was willing to live in seclusion in the countryside, not asking about the world, and spending the rest of his life in peace. The court was a sensation, the Son of Heaven was overjoyed, praised his great achievements and was not arrogant, he was a model for the world, and he was specially approved to return to his hometown to live in seclusion, but since he came to the township, he was calm on the surface, and lived with peace of mind, but in fact, he secretly interfered with local government affairs, and the officials were promoted left and right.

One of them said that in the second year of our dynasty, Yang Ke, the capital of Qingzhou Prefecture, had been in office for less than a month, and suddenly fell from his horse and died one day. Yang Kenai is a veteran of many years of warfare, and he is skilled in soldiers and horses, how could he fall from a horse to his death? The imperial court sent angels to investigate the cause of death, and some people bribed the angels with nephrite, and in the end the matter was over. In order to avenge Yang Ke's grievances, someone followed the clues to trace it, and finally found out that nephrite jade was from the Bai family in Qingzhou Mansion, and Yang Ke was a personal entourage who followed the marshal behind him to fight in the north and south, and this personal entourage had escorted a vehicle loaded with nephrite, so Yang Ke's death was not an accident, but a deliberate murder;

……

Bai Ziqi hugged his head.

Pressing his head with both hands, he was suddenly surprised to find that his arm could still move, and he actually reached his head.

The headache was splitting, as if the brain was about to burst out from the depths.

Marshal...... Marshal...... Marshal......

The terms and conditions on that piece of paper were all pointed at one person, the marshal of the year.

The marshal of that year, the generalissimo who led hundreds of thousands of troops to fight in the south and the north, and made great contributions, except for his grandfather Bai Feng, who else could there be?

Why? Why are these 10 cardinal sins all pointed at Grandpa? Are they so reasonable?

In that case, Grandpa is a big bad guy?

How is this possible?

No, he shook his head.

He sensed from the beginning that things were complicated, far more complicated than he could imagine, and the only thing he could do was not nod, not admit, not put his mudra on it.

Even if you are killed, you can't admit it.

Those ten crimes, all of them are big crimes, any one of them can make grandpa die without a place to be buried, and the entire Bai family will be ruined.

That's a way to put people to death.

Who would be so cruel and so calculating?

Several times he felt that he could not hold on, he was in pain, tired, hungry, thirsty, sleepy, he wanted to sleep, he wanted to just go to sleep and never wake up again, even if he died.

However, there is something in his heart that is growing tenaciously and supporting him, and he sues himself over and over again, he can't speak, can't testify, can't fall into the trap designed by others, and can't die, to live, to find a way to pass the news to his grandfather.

The Bai family is in danger, at such a critical juncture, as the eldest grandson of his grandfather's beloved, he can't just die.

(Xuefei Lingzhou began to end in full swing, and the good-looking stories all opened the preset framework, I hope I like it) (To be continued.) )
