Chapter 95: Torture
There was a little itch on his back, and Xu Buyang wanted to scratch in a daze, but as soon as he moved, he screamed.
He opened his eyes sweating profusely and shouted like a pig: "Senior sister, junior sister save me! Senior brother is unlucky!"
Su Huihui finished wiping the medicine, and skillfully jumped downstairs with his right foot, holding a thick book in his hand, and knocked on his head.
"Ouch......"
She opened the medicine box angrily, "Finally woke up? ”
Xu Buyang weakly made Xizi hold his heart, "Senior sister...... Senior brother has a last word to explain to you, don't miss me too much in the future. ”
Su Huihui dismantled the blood-stained strip of cotton cloth on his chest, leaned in to look at the injury, it was just one point, and the stab was not deep, otherwise he would not even be able to explain his last words.
She said slowly, "It is said that you sat on the toilet and someone poked a hole?"
"How can a girl talk so rudely!"
Xu Buyang's pale face darkened faintly, and Su Huihui knew that eight nine was not far from ten, so he couldn't help but hide the corners of his mouth and snicker.
He coughed and said bitterly: "It was a dark and windy night in the month, and there was a doctor who braved the north wind to go out for a walk, but he didn't know that he was very good, and he was targeted by a group of young people. The doctor was deaf and clear-sighted, and when he realized that something was wrong, he hurried back to his lodgings, drank some water, and was shocked......"
Su Hui was full of interest, propped his chin and said, "And then?"
Xu Buyang couldn't wait to take a wake-up shot: "Unexpectedly, the weather is dry and dry, he drank too much cold water, and the thunder in his abdomen was loud, only by going to the place of reincarnation of the five grains and saving his body can he understand the true meaning of life." He was enjoying himself when suddenly a tile collapsed in front of his feet, and out of thin air, a fierce man in black stabbed him!"
He usually has this virtue, and Su Huihui doesn't know whether he deliberately speaks vaguely or likes to tell stories, and she doesn't believe the excuse of distraction. King Zhao's reception banquet is unusual, can he still be absent because of a walk?
When it was too late, the doctor was quick to see what he was doing, and pointed at him as if he recognized him. The man in black was really confused, covering the doctor's mouth with one hand and stabbing the dagger into his chest with the other, but unfortunately because he was shaken, he did not take the doctor's life on the spot, but let the other party see clearly how he escaped. ”
Su Hui was too lazy to talk, and said "um" from his nose to express his doubts.
Xu Buyang took a deep breath, the sharp pain in his chest made him have no time to accuse the little girl of being ignorant, and looked at her tremblingly:
"Senior sister, hurry up and take the medicine, it's inconvenient to raise your hand if your organs are injured. ”
So how did he lift it just now? Su Huihui shook his head, asked someone to bring a medicine bowl, smelled the smell of the decoction, and put it on the bedside to cool.
"Two questions, what did you do all day yesterday? Do you see his face?"
Xu Buyang rolled his eyes, "I knew you would ask...... I was scattered early in the morning, but I was kidnapped by your lover's men. Aren't you all having dinner together at night, we're helping the inmates in a dilapidated house a few miles away, and it's probably their accomplices who want to give us some color. As for the assassin who was going to kill us, his face was covered a little low, and there was a scar under his right eye, I really didn't know him!"
"Then you said you wanted to see me, and you still have last words to say?"
He was embarrassed for a while, and said uncertainly: "Actually, when I was interrogating the prisoner, I heard a few news, and I was stabbed like this, and I woke up with such a barb." I don't know him, but you may know him, junior sister, if the river drum guard catches someone at this time, it will be easy to deal with it. ”
"So you're in a hurry to come to the Jade Qiao Pavilion, but I might know him?" Su Hui raised his eyes gloomily, "Then I'm safer, and I can take care of you with some medical skills?"
Xu Buyang said embarrassedly: "The last words are, junior sister, you have to be careful of the right court judge in the Tai Hospital who is much more senior than you." ”
Su Huihui felt that the matter was extremely bizarre, and even Si Yan, who had not seen him for several months, could be involved, and he really couldn't see through it alone.
"Do you know the verdict?"
Xu Buyang was about to speak, when a shadow was turned over on the beam, and his hair was tied in ochre, it was the female guard Xin Hui beside the old lady.
He had obediently shut up, but after the female guard informed the assassin that he had been arrested, he was furious: "Give him to us to be dismantled, and his bones will be scattered!"
Su warmed up and reminded him coldly: "You must live, don't think about it." ”
He closed his eyes in a dead heart.
*
The Assassin lay on the ground, unconscious. There were many vacant houses in the palace, and at this time, the three river drum guards brought a large basin with chains, ready to punish the people before they woke up.
Su Hui warmly beckoned, and Xu Buyang, who was on the stretcher, snorted: "It's him, we have a pair of sharp eyes, and we will never be mistaken." ”
One of the guards told the ins and outs, Ling Zhanxuan's secret guard touched down the loose floor tiles, and found that there was a tunnel leading to the side gate of the west courtyard, and when he was about to go back to restore his life, he found that the assassin who should have fled fainted at the exit.
Xu Buyang said curiously: "We didn't throw any powder or medicine on him, who would have thought that this kind of thing would happen when he went to the toilet." ”
Su warmed up a glance at him, and said disdainfully: "It should be that the killer organization wants to cut off his back road, so as not to be tracked down if he fails." ”
The prisoner took off the face scarf, his eyes were closed, and his pale face was very calm, and if it were not for the slightest faint breathing, it would have taught people to think that his soul had returned to the west.
Su Huihui looked at it quietly, and couldn't help but take two steps closer to take a closer look - his hair was neatly combed, so neat that he didn't look like a killer hiding in the dark night, and his facial features were weak, lacking the obedient and ruthless aura that a killer should have. He was only in his early twenties, and he was a fairly young Assassin.
She said to the river guwei who was in charge of the torture: "I want to see his physical condition, in case the trial is gone, it is not good." ”
The river drum guard has always respected her: "Don't worry, my lord, the good doctor in the palace is saying that he is probably poisoned, and he is so measured that he will keep a living." ”
She nodded, and stood by as they went about their errand.
The river drummers set up a long bamboo cut in the middle on the table, with one end sloping down to the basin and the other end raised high. A huge cowhide water bladder hung from the beams, filled with freshly fetched well water, and the tall end of the bamboo was stuck in the bladder, trickling down the light-colored bamboo pipe.
The prisoner was chained to a kneeling position in the basin, his head hanging limply, thin threads of water dripping from the back of his head and falling into the basin, and there was no bright sword or red soldering iron.
The guard asked Su Hui for instructions, and then sat at the table and ate melon seeds gracefully.
Su Huihui had never seen the rumored methods of the cool officials, and walked around the bamboo several times, Xu Buyang closed his eyes and recuperated, and the old god was in the tunnel:
"You young people have more to learn. The little junior sister doesn't know that this method is the most economical and material-saving, and the soul that dies on this means is afraid that it can occupy a prison. ”
She dipped her fingers in the water in the bamboo, the weather in early spring was not hot, and the water was still quite cold.
People gradually lose their heat, they will fall into a coma, if they can't keep warm in time, it is not difficult to lose their lives. After being immersed in water for a long time, the limbs are numb and weak, and the head is the most important part.
"Master Su might as well come over after dinner, we still have a while, let Mr. Xu wait here." ”
Su Huihui thought about it, it would be almost an hour or two, instead of waiting here, she would go back and take care of the aftermath of the cut flowers...... Suddenly, thinking of Ling's family, he asked Xu Buyang:
"Did you see Mrs. Ling yesterday? As soon as the Assassins arrived, they were gone. ”
A river drum guard spit out the melon seed shell and said, "Xin Qi took them to identify a few people from the Rain Hall, Master Su doesn't have to worry about the two of them." ”
Last night, the incident happened suddenly, and the palace was made panicked by the Rain Hall, and King Zhao was even more frightened and weaked his legs in the room and did not dare to go out. Sheng Yunyi's hand is so big, presumably what he wants to do every step before is well planned, he can let her sit next to Yan Xugui and watch the play in a good manner, and he can make the Ling family disappear out of thin air.
Maybe Yuzhou Wei didn't manage to catch all the assassins?Su Huihui felt that what he had thought was too simple, and he needed to calm down and think alone.
Just as he was about to push the door out, Xu Buyang suddenly screamed: "He's moving!
As if he had never seen a patient open his eyes, Su Huihui stopped, only to see the river drum guard stand up from his chair, walk in front of the assassin who was tied up by the five flowers, and raise his hand to strike a fierce blow.
The chains rubbed against the bottom of the basin, and the assassin snorted and looked up bloodlessly, but his eyes did not fall on the river drum guard who drew his long knife.
Su Hui stared at him warmly and said slowly, "You know me." ”
The Assassin's eyes were cold, and they seemed to be resentful, and she couldn't figure out who she had messed with this year.
She turned her head and asked Xu Buyang seriously: "You let me be careful of the right court's judgment, what does this person have to do with him?"
Xu Buyang clutched his chest and coughed, "When I tried people with a few adults, I used some medicine that made people delirious. They swore that there was a secret stake in the capital, and said that they would definitely give us a dismount, because the people sent to intercept and kill had already laid an ambush. I was so curious that I asked who it was, but the assassins only mentioned the words of the right court judgment of the Tai Hospital, and they didn't know. ”
He added: "Later, I realized when I collapsed in front of the toilet, how can my house be so easy to get into the thief? Ahem, it's normal for the little brother who moved me here to Yuqiao Pavilion to be dizzy, junior sister, did you help him heal?"
Su Huihui said angrily: "You did it." ”
"Go and feel the thief's vein, and see if he's all right. We have lived for such a long time, we have never seen any scene, and we have lived alone for 20 years and have been planted in his hands!"
That's because no one wants to pay to kill an unscrupulous doctor...... Su Hui thought about it in a broken way, and wondered why he wanted to kill Xu Buyang, was it just a warning?
He Guwei put his knife around the young assassin's hand and said gently, "How many years have you been doing this, the callus on the pen in your hand has not faded, this is not taken out with a knife." Picking up a little finger, "Shall we start here?"
There was a scalp-tingling click, the finger bones shattered, and the assassin gasped violently, his eyes split.
The jury of the river drum guard sneered again and again: "Young people now, this is not good. Yesterday, your master's generation survived three hours, and their bones were very hard. ”
Su warmed his panic and motioned for them to stop, trying to check the pulse of the soft-boned assassin. Without saying a word, the river drum guard picked a hand for her, and continued to interrogate.
She squatted on the ground for a while, and the good doctor here didn't know what to tell them, it was obviously extremely poisonous, at least half a year. The reason why she was so familiar was that she had met in Jiaying not long ago, and the patient was an informant from the Judgment Rain Hall. Her first important task in Fanjing was to make an antidote to this poison, and as for this poison, ...... Isn't it provided by Si Yan?
She couldn't help but lower her eyes, she had also been diagnosed by the River Drum Guard, who was dizzy by Grace's revenge, and the assassin's body should be completely devoid of the medicinal power laid by Xu Buyang. Either he can resist medicine after staying in the Rain Hall for a long time, or he is also an expert and knows some ways.
"Senior sister, how is it?"
Su Hui warmed up and said: "How did you let other assassins tell the truth yesterday, just let him speak, I'm not interested in him." In short, Si Yan has not been able to sit in the judgment seat of that court for a long time, and now His Majesty is very dependent on me, I want him to leave when he returns to his hometown, and the Zhang Yuan is very old, and the matter in this official office is not decided by me alone. ”
She stood proudly in the middle of the room, smiling, and her face full of contempt.
The river drumguard blew the hair on the tip of the knife, "Boy, we're not interested in you either, it's just to kill time. ”
Su Hui warmed up to the window, his voice indifferent: "Senior brother doesn't know, although the judge of the right court has been on duty in the Tai Hospital for decades, he has been mediocre, if I hadn't participated in him in front of His Majesty, I'm afraid he is still respected by the juniors." Thanks to His Majesty, at my request, Si Yan was about to disappear in the South Hall. ”
She gently brushed the hair next to her ear, and her brown eyes narrowed slightly: "What do I have to fear? He can't even entertain people with a decent cup of tea, rents a house in Junjinfang, and lives in seclusion all day long, what is such a person still doing in the world? He is neither old nor young, sometimes I want to spend some money to hire someone to get rid of this trouble, but I don't know if people are willing to take it." ”
The three river drummers frequently agreed with the venue.
Xu Buyang's heart was shocked. Although he knew that her words were lies, that look made him daunting-he had seen a similar expression in the palace of Mingdu many years ago, cold to the extreme, not a sharp point, but a natural alienation from top to bottom. Ordinary people can't be so calm and arrogant.
He still hadn't seen through her.
The Assassin's whole body was like falling into an ice cellar, the water behind his head dripping down his spine, his lips that were purple from the cold, and he shouted:
"Father won't—"
The five people present were all stunned.
The Assassin shut his mouth and fell weakly in the basin of water.
Su Huihui bent down, looked directly at his bloodshot eyes, and said coldly: "Unfortunately, the poison on your body was caused by your father with the help of others, whether it is true or not, he personally admitted it." ”
