Chapter 262: A Thousand Cuts
Ling Ruo fell asleep for two days before he woke up, and as soon as he woke up, he saw Yinzhen leaning on the head of the bed napping, and there was obvious blue and black under his eyes, thinking that he hadn't slept well these days.
Ling Ruo stroked Yinzhen's face distressedly, almost, almost she would never see him again, if it weren't for the idea of seeing Yinzhen supporting her, she might not be able to survive those three days.
Although her movements were light, she still woke up Yinzhen, and when she saw Ling Ruo wake up, Yinzhen was overjoyed, holding her hand and saying, "Do you feel better?" Would you like something to eat? ”
Speaking of this, Ling Ruo felt that his throat was dry and unbearable, and he couldn't speak, so he had to point to the teacup on the table, signaling to drink water, cup after cup, and drank a full four cups before he felt better, taking advantage of this effort, Yinzhen called Moyu in, and ordered her to hurry up and cook a bowl of millet porridge, Ling Ruo had just woken up and been hungry for so long, he couldn't eat anything too hard, so he had to use soft rice porridge to cushion his stomach first.
These days, Mo Yu didn't know how many times he had cried, especially after seeing Ling Ruo so thin that he was not human, he often shed tears, and his eyes were crying like rabbits, red and swollen; Seeing Ling Ruo wake up at this moment, he was so happy that he was about to cry again, but fortunately he held back.
After Moyu came out, Yin Zhen stroked Ling Ruo's shoulder and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Ruo'er, if it weren't for my negligence and didn't leave a few more people to take care of you, Zhu Erfu wouldn't have had a chance, and you wouldn't have suffered so much." ”
"The fourth master is not an immortal of an unpredictable prophet, how can he expect everything, not to mention that the concubine didn't come back safely and soundly, the fourth master doesn't have to blame himself!" Ling Ruo comforted him.
Yin Zhen tugged at Ling Ruo's overly loose clothes and laughed self-deprecatingly: "If this is also called safe and sound, then I don't know what it means to be fine." When Ling Ruo was asleep, Mo Yu had already wiped her body and changed her clothes, but every piece of clothing she brought from the capital was empty and lacking a lot of flesh at this moment.
Ling Ruo looked up at him, a gentle smile appeared in his eyes, "At most, the concubine eats a chicken and a duck every day, plus fish, shrimp, crab eggs, beef, sheep, pork, and countless others, okay?" ”
Yin Zhen smiled at her, and pinched her nose, which was getting taller and taller because of her thinness, "Seeing that you can still joke, it should be nothing." After a pause, he said: "You can't eat so much if you really give you so much, just five meals a day, in short, you must be fatter than the original before returning to Beijing, otherwise Huang Ama will see it and say that I am abusing you!" ”
"Yes, the concubine obeys!" Ling Ruo responded with a smile, and when he was waiting for Mo Yu to bring the porridge over, Yin Zhen suddenly remembered something, "When Mo Yu was wiping your body, she said that in addition to your neck, you also had several bruises on your legs, how did the guy surnamed Zhu abuse you?" ”
Ling Ruo smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No one abused the concubine's body, and those injuries were caused by the concubine's body." Seeing that Yinzhen was puzzled, she gritted her teeth and told the matter as it was, and said: "The concubine is afraid that once he falls asleep, he will take advantage of the opportunity to misbehave, and he is afraid that he will poison the water and food, so the concubine does not dare to eat or sleep, and she is so sleepy that she can't stand it and pinch herself, so he didn't find a chance to stain the concubine's body." Those few days were really like years, but fortunately, they are all over now. ”
After hearing these words, Yin Zhen's face was no longer ugly, and he slammed his fist on the bed frame, "What a brute, knowing that it is my woman, he still dares to move his lustful heart, and a thousand cuts are not enough to atone for his sins!" Come! ”
The dog who had been guarding outside immediately pushed the door in, respectfully waiting for Yinzhen's command, but Yinzhen hesitated for a moment, beckoned him to come close and whispered a few words.
The dog nodded in understanding, and just as he was leaving, Zhou Yong walked in, still holding an arm-thick wooden stick in his hand. I saw him kneeling down with a guilty face and said: "It's all the slaves who are not careful, because Zhu Erfu has suffered so much, and the slaves deserve to die, and they should have been punished a long time ago, but the fourth master said that Fu Jin would be punished personally, so the slaves have been postponed until now." After that, he handed over the wooden stick with both hands and said in a condensed voice: "Please Fu Jin punish the minion, even if the minion is beaten to death, the minion will never complain!" ”
Ling Ruo half-sat up with Yinzhen's hand and said, "How can it be so serious, not to mention that the person who killed me is not you, you just fell for Zhu Erfu, get up." ”
"Nope! Fu Jin does not punish the minions, and the minions will not be able to kneel for a long time. Zhou Yong's resolute attitude made Ling Ruo difficult, and he thought for a long time and said, "In this way, I will fine you with three months' monthly money." ”
This kind of disposition is undoubtedly insignificant to Zhou Yong, he glanced at Yinzhen carefully, and when he saw him nodding slightly, he kowtowed with gratitude, and said repeatedly: "Thank you Ling Fujin!" Thank you Ling Fujin! ”
"By the way, what did the fourth master say to the dog just now, but about Zhu Erfu's disposal, why can't the concubine hear it?" Ling Ruo asked curiously.
Yin Zhen bent his lips, stroked Ling Ruo's sideburns and said lightly: "It's not that I can't let you listen, but I don't want to let those words pollute your ears, you just need to know that from today on, Zhu Erfu will be no different from a eunuch, and his retribution has just begun. ”
For any enemy who dares to hurt himself or the people around him, Yinzhen will not have a trace of compassion, in fact, many times, the Buddha and Shura are just a thin line apart.
In addition to Wang Qisi and others, those who remained in the inn were also arrested, and so far, the eyeliner sent by Yinzhen to Hangzhou to monitor Yinzhen was all controlled, and none of them escaped, so that they could also prevent them from transmitting the news back to the capital; However, Yinzhen knows in his heart that he can't hide it for many days, Wang Qi has to release a pigeon every two days to bring a letter back to Beijing, if Yinzhen can't receive the letter for a few days, he will inevitably think of something happened in Hangzhou, so as to prevent the arrangement, so they must find the secret hidden under the West Lake during this time.
In those days, Yinxiang squatted in the Hangzhou Mansion prison all day long, tortured Wang Qi and his gang to extract confessions, waterboarding, carbon punishment, playing pipa, etc., all of which he used to see in the barracks or prisons of the Criminal Department, specializing in those heinous prisoners. Although Chen Yuanjing didn't like Yinxiang to use such cruel methods, these people were caught by Yinxiang and them, and they were involved in the dispute of several elder brothers, so it was not his turn to ask a mansion Yin.
Wang Qi and the others were removed from the poison hidden in their teeth, so they could not commit suicide, they could only suffer all kinds of suffering, and life and death could not help themselves. But compared with Zhu Erfu, they are lucky.
Poor Zhu Erfu was first kicked and broke his sternum, and after two days of rest, he was dragged out of the palace to be executed, and since then he has become a eunuch who is neither male nor female; But all this was not over, after stopping the bleeding, he was dragged to the execution of Ling Chi, and it took a total of 1,000 and 3 knives for five days before he died, during which time he was forced to hold several pieces of old ginseng under his tongue for hanging.
