Jian Ying walked out quickly, and saw Xiao Ji at first sight.

A small person, curled up in a white bosom shivering. His lips were chapped and his face was pale without a trace of blood. His eyes were open, his eyes were dull and trance-like, and he didn't look sober.

Hearing Jian Ying's voice, a trace of clarity appeared in her eyes, her lips moved, and she called out "Second Young Lady" with difficulty.

"It's okay." Jian Ying held her hand tightly, and apart from these three words, she couldn't say anything else.

A few days ago, Imperial Physician Gao entrusted the fourth young master and Brother Yu to Zhou Shu, and he went to Qufu at the invitation of Meng Mansion to treat people suffering from round bone disease in Meng Mansion, and he could not come back until a few days later.

Zhou Shu carefully checked Xiaoji's pulse, and felt that her spleen and stomach were very weak, thinking that it was because she had not eaten rice water for a long time. In addition, he was imprisoned and tortured by Fan Huo, frightened, highly nervous, and suddenly relaxed after being rescued, and launched a high fever.

Over the past year or so, his medical skills have made great progress, the pulse diagnosis is not a problem, and it is not a problem to apply acupuncture when he knows the acupuncture points in advance, but it is not enough to be able to prescribe prescriptions independently, so he has to ask someone to go outside and invite another respected doctor to come.

While waiting for the doctor to come, Jian Ying asked someone to prepare warm water and clean clothes, and personally scrubbed Xiaoji's body and changed into clean clothes.

By the way, I checked it from head to toe, and found that there were no major wounds on her body, only small holes like pinpricks, concentrated on her limbs and back, densely packed and clumped. There is very little bleeding, and there are large bruises of varying bruises under the skin, which is very frightening.

The doctor was soon invited. After the consultation, he came to the same conclusion as Zhou Shu, prescribed a prescription to suppress convulsion and dispel stasis, and instructed some precautions, and then left.

After Jian Ying settled Xiao Ji, she handed over the privilege of staying by the bedside to Hui Bai, and went out to ask Cui Feng and Long Jing for questions.

“…… The torture instrument that Fan Huo used to torture Xiao Ji was called Tie Cangzi. Long Jing replied with a straight look, "This thing was made by the rich in the early years to deal with lazy long-term workers, and it was made in the shape of Cang'erzi, and there was a handle in the back." In front is a hemisphere. Covered with thin, short iron spikes.

Because the iron thorn is very short, it will not hurt the internal organs and muscles and bones, and it will not hinder the movement after the execution, let alone worry about life. It was later adopted by the prison officer. It has been turned into a torture instrument for the torture of prisoners.

At the time of the execution. Roll it on the flesh with an iron litsea cubene. Because it is dipped in salt water, it hardly bleeds, so it hurts. It's hard for the average person to bear. often takes two or three hits, and then recruits happily.

It is said that it will not harm lives, but it is not true. Especially in the summer, if you don't get timely medical treatment after being tortured, the abscess at the acupuncture site will slowly rot, which is not much easier than gouging out your eyes and cutting your nose.

After the current saint ascended the throne, he advocated 'benevolent prison' and abolished many torture instruments, and Tie Cangzi was one of them. ”

A cold light flashed in Jian Ying's eyes, "Did you bring back the Tie Cangzi?" ”

"Brought it back." Cuifeng replied quickly, "Hui Bai said that he wanted Fan Huo to taste the taste of a thousand needles. ”

Jian Ying nodded with a calm face, "Okay, give me one." ”

Zhou Shu knew that Jian Ying was the most protective of her shortcomings, and Meng Xinniang touched her against the scales this time. Xiao Ji has suffered such a big hardship, she will not give up. Knowing that she wanted Tie Cangzi was not as simple as evidence, she was about to remind her not to go too far, Meng Xinniang was the princess of the imperial book after all, so she heard a report that Monkey Kui had returned. I had to press the beginning of the conversation and ordered Monkey Kui to come in and reply.

“…… The little one turned Fan Huo's house all over the place, and even dug up the ground in front of and behind the house, but he didn't find anything useful. Monkey Kui said with some frustration.

"Where's the stable?" Zhou Shu asked, "Have you asked someone to search for it?" ”

Monkey Kui patted his head, "The little one is going to search." ”

Then turn around and run.

"Wait." Jian Ying stopped him, "Take Yuan Fang, she has a good nose, maybe she can help you." ”

"Yes." Monkey Kui agreed, went to the door and called Yuan Fang, and went straight to the stable.

Zhou Shu wanted to discuss the next matter with Jian Ying, so he waved his hand at Longjing and Cuifeng, "You guys go down first." ”

Cui Feng answered and exited the door, but Long Jing stood still, "Second Young Master, there is one more thing." ”

Zhou Shu raised his chin and motioned for him to say.

"Under the ancient well behind the stable, there is a place that looks like a water prison, and Xiao Ji is imprisoned there. After they rescued Xiao Ji, the little one went around the water prison and inadvertently triggered a trap......"

Zhou Shu's eyebrows moved, "What did you find?" ”

"A large storeroom full of all sorts of weapons."

"Weapons?!" Zhou Shu was taken aback.

Long Jing nodded, "Yes, a small rough estimate, those weapons are enough for a team of thousands of soldiers and horses." ”

"Who else saw it?" Zhou Shu hurriedly asked.

"Only the little one has seen it."

"Who else knows about this?"

"Possession of weapons is a big crime, how dare the little ones speak up?" After Long Jing said this, he didn't say much, shook his hand, and exited the door.

Jian Ying and Zhou Shu glanced at each other, "The only one who hides weapons privately is your father, he doesn't want to rebel, right?" ”

Zhou Shu covered her mouth, lowered her voice and said hurriedly: "Lady, don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, if it spreads, it will be copied all over the house." ”

Jian Ying broke his hand away and glared at him angrily, "You want to murder your own wife?" ”

Zhou Shu was upset and had no intention of joking. There was a voice in my heart that repeatedly said "impossible", but the spirit tablets placed in the secret room of the Buddhist hall kept flashing in my mind.

He always thought that King Ji'an had won over the officials in the court in order to rehabilitate the old lady's maiden family, but what if what their mother and son really wanted was not rehabilitation, but rebellion? In this way, why the spirit card of the saint is placed in the first place today, the bright red "forks" of the spirit card, and why the king of Ji'an wants to get the iron ore in the hands of the Tang family in every possible way, all of this can be explained.

So isn't it a good opportunity for the saint to go to Mount Tai to worship the heavens this time?

Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat, "No, it won't." My father was just a rich idler, with no real power. Today's saint is a Ming monarch, and now he is politically harmonious, and those ministers in the court will not help him rebel......

It's just a hidden weapon, which doesn't mean anything. My father is not a fool, if he really wants to rebel, how can he hide his weapons in his own house? Isn't this waiting to be caught?

No, I must have thought too much! ”
