Chapter 63: Interrogation
After sending off the guests, Situ Ningbing, who had been busy all day, not only did not feel tired, but suddenly came to his senses, as if a cheetah that had been lurking for a long time had finally waited for the opportunity to bite off the throat of its prey!
Jin Yingtang has been in a hurry since the Wang family was carried back, and Mama Qi was not as calm as before because she was also frightened, but fortunately, Mama Geng was in charge so that nothing went wrong. By the time Situ Ningbing came over, Wang had already poured a bowl of soothing soup and fell asleep. Li Jiazhi also rushed over after receiving the news, and the two happened to meet at the door.
"Third brother slower down" Situ Ningbing couldn't help but remind him when he saw him in a hurry: "Mother thinks she has already fallen asleep at this time, and you are not afraid of disturbing her if you break in so recklessly!"
Li Jiazhi snorted coldly angrily, and ignored Situ Ningbing, but in the end he slowed down.
The two came to the main house one after the other, and Mama Geng and Mama Qi were guarding the bright room outside, and when they saw them coming in, they came up to salute together.
Situ Ningbing briefly asked a few words about Wang's situation, and Li Jiazhi stood at the door of the inner room with his back and looked inside, but listened to the conversation between Situ Ningbing and Geng Mama word for word.
"Now that the lady has fallen asleep, the two grandmothers should go to rest early, and leave the two big maids in the house for the night. Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to invite a doctor to come over to show Mrs. Tomorrow morning, and it will be said that Mrs. is tired of running around for the marriage of the third lady for days. ”
"Don't worry, young lady, the slave and maid are saved. "Mama Geng is an old man from the palace, and the fact that she has never seen the Anguo Mansion is nothing in her eyes.
Situ Ningbing naturally trusted Mama Geng's ability, so she didn't say anything more, turned her head to Li Jia and scolded: "Since Madame is fine, the third brother can rest assured, why don't you go with me to watch a good show?"
"What do you want to do?" Li Jia didn't know what medicine she was selling in her gourd, and looked at her with a wary face.
"If you don't dare, forget it. Situ Ningbing deliberately said lightly, ignoring Li Jiazhi and turning around and leaving the house.
Li Jiazhi knew that this was a radical method, but in the end he was unwilling to stomp his feet and chased after him. "Who said I wouldn't dare!
Today's things are really strange, Mama Qi is suspicious in her heart and wants to ask a few words, but when the words come to her mouth, she doesn't know how to speak, at this moment, seeing Situ Ningbing leaving with Li Jiazhi, she has a vague guess or two in her heart, but she can't be sure, and she can't help but feel a little uneasy.
Mama Geng seemed to see her thoughts, and stepped forward with a smile and said, "What is my sister thinking? It's not too early, my sister should go and rest early, there are still a bunch of things waiting for you tomorrow. "Although Mama Geng is Situ Ningbing's person, after all, she is a high-grade person from the palace, and she has served two generations of queens, not to mention Mama Qi, and the Wang family has to be polite when she sees her. Mama Qi originally wanted to ask her a few words, but now that she said this, she must not be able to ask anything, so she had to force herself to endure the doubts in her heart, and went out of the main house with Mama Geng, and went back to rest separately.
Besides, Situ Ningbing's side, Li Jiazhi followed her all the way to a remote courtyard in the backyard of the Anguo Mansion, next to the Buddhist hall, and few people came except for cleaning on weekdays. Because the surrounding sycamore trees are planted all over this small courtyard is called the Sycamore Garden, the low yard is under the shade of a large number of tall sycamore trees, it is the blue sky and the white day is also a little gloomy, not to mention that it is the moon at this time, the wind is high, and occasionally you can hear one or two night owls chirping, even if it is the middle of summer, Li Jiazhi can't stop the chill that comes out of his heart.
He originally wanted to open his mouth to ask Situ Ningbing, where were they going, but when the words came to his mouth, he immediately felt that asking these words would not show that he was weak-minded? Not to mention this, this momentum was half extinguished first, and no matter what, he didn't want to lose face in front of this woman who insulted his brother! So even though his heart was about to jump out of his mouth, Li Jiazhi always followed behind Situ Ningbing with his head held high.
When the group entered the courtyard, Li Jiazhi only heard a soft "creak" behind him, and when he turned back, the two old courtyard doors were closed from the inside. Li Jiazhi suddenly panicked, and somehow the Zhiwei novels he had read before automatically appeared in his mind, what fox spirits dig people's hearts in the middle of the night, female ghosts suck people's yang energy, and snake demons eat people...... The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and I couldn't move on my legs.
Situ Ningbing walked in front, but behind him seemed to have eyes, with a hint of mockery in his indifferent tone, "I heard that the third young master is not afraid of heaven and earth, why did an empty courtyard bluff you like this? If you are afraid, go back, I will find a few more maids to light a lamp to send you back safely." ”
Li Jiazhi couldn't bear the excitement, he couldn't care about being afraid or not, the young man's blood was surging, even if there were real demons and monsters in front of him, it was estimated that he would be able to fight with others.
When Situ Ningbing walked into the main house with Li Jiazhi, the empty room that was originally dark suddenly became brightly lit. Li Jiazhi was so shocked that he almost screamed, and turned his head to look around only to find that there were people in the house, but he only lit the lamp when he saw them come in. couldn't help but scold, "Pretending to be a ghost, what's wrong with this!"
Situ Ningbing ignored him, walked straight to a south-facing Arhat bed and sat down, and then patted the seat next to him and motioned for Li Jiazhi to come and sit.
At this time, Li Jiazhi was not afraid, he just wanted to know what Situ Ningbing was doing, and without saying a word, he took off his robe and sat next to Situ Ningbing on a short table. As soon as he sat down, a little maid came up with two teas, Situ Ningbing picked up the teacup and gently skimmed the tea powder with the lid, and took a slight sip before saying lightly, "Bring it up." ”
Li Jiazhi looked at the door curiously, but after a while, he saw a big man with a length of eight feet who was tied up by two iron chains and slipped in. When I got closer, I took a closer look, and it was Lin Kun who I found to perform the championship.
To say that this Lin Kun and Li Jiazhi still have some origins, when he came to Longxi alone, he was exhausted and couldn't find a job to do, so he had to sell art in the joint, and happened to be bumped into by Li Jiazhi, seeing that he was born powerful and infinitely powerful, he cherished his talents, and was included in the house to be a general. On weekdays, Li Jiazhi took care of him a lot, and he was also extremely grateful, so this time Li Jianing got married, and Li Jiazhi thought of letting him perform at the banquet, but he didn't know that this accident happened!
"What do you mean by that?!" Li Jiazhi pointed to Lin Kun, who was kneeling on the ground, and questioned Situ Ningbing. Although he was angry that Lin Kun almost killed his mother by mistake, it can be seen that his people are tied up like this, and it is not a good feeling in his heart.
"What do you mean?" Situ Ningbing squinted at Li Jiazhi, his voice full of mockery, "Your mother and second sister-in-law were almost killed by this person, and you plan to let this matter pass?"
"Of course I ......" Li Jiazhi hadn't thought about how to deal with Situ Ningbing's questioning, and Lin Kun had already shouted, "Third son! The villain didn't mean it, the villain almost killed the lady and the young lady by missing it for a while, the villain lived up to your wishes, you want to kill or kill the villain, I just ask you to be gracious and don't implicate the villain's family, your kindness villain will be a cow and a horse in the next life and then come to repay you!"
Seeing Lin Kun like this, he remembered that he also called him "Brother Lin" on weekdays, and he didn't have a heart, since his mother was fine, he didn't have to hold on to it. Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask him not to knock, Situ Ningbing sneered, "Don't worry, I won't kill you or kill you, I just want to listen to the truth!" After speaking, he rushed to the door and ordered, "Bring it up!"
As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man was dragged in by two people and thrown to the ground. Li Jiazhi was still thinking about who this person was, and Situ Ningbing had already said to Lin Kun: "You take a closer look at this person, do you recognize this person?"
Lin Kun kept his head down and didn't dare to look at her face, but Rao was like this, and her soft and gentle voice sounded in his ears, like a poisonous snake hissing and spitting letters, making his scalp tingle! When he saw the face of the half-dead man on the ground, Lin Kun was even more shocked and speechless.
"Young lady!" Lin Kun kowtowed desperately, "Tonight's incident is all a villain's dereliction of duty, if you want to kill or punish the villain, you will come to the villain alone, my eldest brother is an honest man, please let him go!" Different from kowtowing to Li Jia, this time Lin Kun kowtowed extremely hard, and within a few clicks, there was blood flowing along the gap on the bluestone slab.
Situ Ningbing said slowly as if he hadn't seen it: "Don't be busy kowtowing yet." I said I wouldn't do anything to you, but I wanted to tell you the truth. From now on, I will ask, you answer, if you answer wrong......" Situ Ningbing's tone became more and more gentle, "I will ask him to try a torture of the embroidery division." As if she was afraid that Lin Kun wouldn't understand, she also specially instructed Jianpi, "Tell him what the first way is?"
Seeing that the mercy was crisp and responded, the yellow bird-like voice sounded particularly penetrating under this situation, "There are a total of eighteen tortures in the embroidery division, each of which can make life worse than death, and one is more cruel than the other, I heard that no one has ever been able to survive three in a row." As far as the slave knows, the first way is the easiest, which is the whipping. ”
Situ Ningbing seemed disappointed, "It's nothing special. ”
Jian Lian hurriedly explained: "If it is an ordinary leather whip, it is really nothing special, but I heard that the whip of the embroidery division is specially made, and the whip is full of barbs, and a whip can bring down two taels of meat when hit on the prisoner." As if he was afraid that Situ Ningbing would not believe it, he glanced at a grandmother, who came out of the shadows, holding a dark whip in her hand, with silver barbs erecting on the whip, which were particularly dazzling under the light.
