139: Mysterious self-confidence
Liangshan was silent, but his head hung lower.
Nalan Jinxiu became more and more sure in his heart that he must have been instructed or even persecuted. Such a big boy is already timid, and he doesn't know what he needs to face when he throws away this crime. She didn't want to scare him, but if she didn't force the child, he wouldn't tell the truth.
So, Nalan Jinxiu recounted a very cruel fact in a very calm voice, she said: "Liangshan, I am a doctor, and I am here to prepare an antidote. But I still don't have a clue if I can't make a cure. All the people in these two villages will die. These hundreds of lives need to be paid by you alone. The law of Juning stipulates that the murderer is killed, and your situation is too bad, so you will be given the heaviest criminal law, that is, the comb type. ”
Liangshan remained unmoved, as if what she had just said had been expected by him.
Nalan Jinxiu was also shocked by his concentration, and even had some thoughts that wanted to scare him, which seemed quite interesting to make such a teenager panic.
Nalan Jinxiu's soft and soft voice echoed in the firewood room: "Combing is to pour boiling water on people's bodies, burn people's skin and flesh, and then comb them one by one with a comb until their white bones are exposed." This process will be very long, and people with tenacious vitality will still be alive when there is only one head left except for the bones in their bodies. ”
Several of the guards in the firewood room were stunned by her voice. They felt as if someone was blowing cool air on their necks, and goosebumps got up and down their bodies. I thought to myself, I don't know who created such a punishment, it is too cruel and bloody.
Although Xu Jince has been on the battlefield all the year round and has learned the way of leading troops to fight, he will also be a prince in the future, who will govern northern Xinjiang and seek well-being for the people of northern Xinjiang. He is naturally familiar with Ning Lu, and he also knows that there is no such thing in Ning Lu.
The ancestors of the Daning Dynasty, although they won the world on horseback, also knew that they should govern the country with benevolence and righteousness. And the combing punishment she just talked about is contrary to the word benevolence, and it is impossible to implement it in Ningguo, let alone record it in Ning Lu. If such a punishment appeared in the text of the Ning Law, it would definitely be criticized by future generations. What monarch is willing to be condemned by everyone after death?
He didn't know where his sister had seen these things, or if she had imagined them out of thin air. But looking at her appearance, she must have wanted to scare Liangshan, Xu Jince didn't demolish her, so he let her go.
No matter how calm Liangshan is, he is just a teenager after all. Listening to Nalan Jinxiu's words, his face turned even paler, and his weak shoulders kept trembling. In those empty eyes, fear gradually appeared.
Nalan Jinxiu saw that this method was effective for him, so he slowly induced again: "No matter how others persecute you and let you take the blame for him, you can not listen to it now." You can tell me any difficulties you have, and I will naturally settle them for you. ”
"You?" said Ryoyama's eyes with intense suspicion.
Nalan Jinxiu also knew that he didn't look imposing. grabbed Xu Jince's arm and said proudly: "I can't, but he can." ”
Liangshan looked at Xu Jince, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but he was silent again.
"Do you know who he is? He is the son of the Zhenbei Wangfu, that is, the military and civilians of Northern Xinjiang, and the young marshal praised by everyone. ”
There was a sudden light in Liangshan's eyes, the kind of brilliance that was so bright that it would make people's hearts palpitate. It's a pity that it was only for a short moment before it returned to the void. Liangshan's momentary change did not escape Xu Jince's eyes, and he said lightly: "I am Xu Jince, I can help you." ”
Liangshan finally dared to look up at them, and it was the kind of straight look. There was a kind of determination in his eyes, like an emotion that had been suppressed for a long time, and it was finally about to explode. He said, "If only I had met you earlier, but now there's no turning back." I have poisoned these two villages, and even if you arrest me, you can punish me however you want. ”
Nalan Jinxiu was anxious when she heard this: "I can't develop an antidote, so I need to find the person who really poisoned it, if you blindly cover it up, then these hundreds of lives will really be harmed by you." ”
"There is no antidote. ”
"I don't believe it. ”
"There's really no cure. This poison was given to me by my father, and he told me not to use it. It was I who violated his last wishes, because of a little grief and indignation in my heart, and I killed so many people, and I was willing to resist it. ”
Nalan Jinxiu felt that he had tried coercion and temptation, and he couldn't get the information he wanted if he asked again, so it was better to slow down first. She still had to find a new way to get him to speak. She glanced at Xu Jince, and the two came out of the firewood room together.
"Brother, do you think what Liangshan just said is credible?"
"Half and half!"
"How?"
Xu Jince thought about Liangshan's expression when he spoke just now, and replied lightly: "The origin of the poison may be true, but the reason for the poisoning is not necessarily true. ”
Nalan Jinxiu nodded: "I think the same way." Of course, there are some people who have been bullied since childhood, and they will have a stronger sense of revenge. But Liangshan gave me the feeling that he was not that kind of person, and even I thought he should be kind. ”
"How do you feel? Didn't my father tell us a long time ago that people should not be disfigured?"
Nalan Jinxiu twisted her cheeks to the side and snorted a little proudly. Xu Jince smiled faintly and asked her again, "Do you have any opinions?"
"I want to drag Liangshan out first, just say that he has committed a capital crime, and then send someone to secretly observe everyone's reaction. If there is something strange, bring it out for torture, and you must ask something. I don't believe that such a big thing could be done by Liangshan alone. ”
"Okay, just do as you say. Xu Jince remembered the comb shape she just said, and couldn't help but feel a little worried. What little girl could name such a cruel punishment? He was afraid that she had suffered some bad influence.
Nalan Jinxiu looked at him as if he had something to say to her, and he didn't know how to speak. I couldn't help poking his shoulder with my index finger, and said with a grin: "Brother, do you have something to ask me? Why don't you say it, what are you doing watching me like this? I'm not a roundworm in your stomach, but I don't know what you're thinking." ”
Look at these provocative words! Xu Jince sighed helplessly, feeling that he could command thousands of troops and horses calmly, but there was nothing he could do with her. was asked by her, so she had to tell the truth: "Comb type, where did you see it?"
"It's in the book. ”
"What kind of nonsense are you looking at, don't read it again in the future. ”
When Nalan Jinxiu saw his brother's serious appearance, he immediately accompanied the smiling face and nodded his head. What I thought in my heart was, you have been in the army all the year round, and you can't look at me all the time, so I can just buy it myself and watch it.
Who knew that Xu Jince was like a roundworm in her stomach, and he knew her thoughts clearly, he smiled faintly, and said, "Since you have agreed, you must do it, I will let Mu Li look at you." ”
Nalan Jinxiu was anxious when she heard it, Mu Li's elm head had always listened to his brother's words the most. If he was watching, wouldn't she even have the chance to buy a book? You can't blame her for not doing her job, she is the identity of a county lord, that is, from birth to death, she can always do nothing.
Although she occasionally practices female celebrity, she will also go to the hospital for consultation. But after all, the time for the clinic is limited, and the rest is a lot of free time, if she doesn't read some books for the pastime, is it possible to do something out of thin air like other boudoir ladies?
"Since I promised you, I will definitely not break my promise, why do you want Mu Li to look at me?"
"I don't think you wouldn't break your word. ”
Nalan Jinxiu stomped his feet, and called out with a long tail note: "Brother......"
Xu Jince felt that she must not be soft-hearted this time, if she left it to her, in case she continued to watch this kind of messy things, it would be very bad for her growth. After all, she is still a big child, and although she seems to be smart, her ability to distinguish between right and wrong should still be very poor.
Seeing that he was unmoved, Nalan Jinxiu changed his strategy again: "Why don't we make a bet!" If I win, you don't care about me reading the book, if I lose, I won't buy a single one in the future." ”
Xu Jince raised his eyebrows with interest: "What are you betting on?"
"I'm betting on whether I can catch the poisoner according to my method. ”
"Your method is to pull Liangshan out of the parade, and then use him to lure the snake out of the hole?"
Nalan Jinxiu nodded: "Hmm." ”
"Then if Liangshan is not as important as you think, his life or death, the person who really poisoned him doesn't care at all. Even if he cares, we have limited manpower, there are more than 100 people in these two villages, even if we look at it secretly, there will always be omissions. ”
Nalan Jinxiu didn't care at all, and said in a disapproving tone: "I know." ”
"And you're going to bet this on me?"
"Isn't it unfair to you to make a bet because you don't know it, and if you can guess the outcome?"
Xu Jince felt that this little girl should suffer some blows, she was simply overconfident now. He nodded, and said earnestly: "I won't let you, if you lose, don't cheat at that time, let alone come to me." ”
"There's no way I'm going to lose. When Nalan Jinxiu said this, his tone was very firm.
Xu Jince felt that she was completely a paper tiger now, and she would break her skills as soon as the wind blew, so she couldn't help but want to hit her, and asked casually: "So confident?"
"Of course, that's how confident. After finishing speaking, he raised his chin.
