Xu You slowly went deep into the ground along the spiral steps, the walls on both sides still had traces of trimming, and some damp places were covered with moss that was invisible to the naked eye, and it was this sense of ruin that made the spring well even more unpredictable and terrifying.

I don't know how long I walked, and finally my feet landed on the flat ground, because of the relationship between the air vent, the breathing is not short, but for no reason I will feel depressed. On both sides are stone chambers lined up side by side, with different names engraved on the lintels, corresponding to the nine springs.

Hanquan is in fourth place, not far away, Xu You didn't go in, after all, professional things are left to professional people to do, although he is not afraid of blood, but he is really not interested in torturing people.

Sitting down in a stone room outside, Zhan Wenjun accompanied one side, instructed Wan Qi to wait at the door, and did not allow others to come in, sat opposite, and said to Xu You: "Lang Jun, is there a good plan?" ”

"The enemy is dark and I am clear, it's too early to say, wait for the ten books to review Li Ji's confession, and there is evidence, it's not too late to discuss." Xu You paused and said, "But there is something that can be done in advance, from now on, release the people of the Boat Pavilion and Quanjing, and publicize the news that Guo Gong is about to return to the house." Then you will come forward and divide the Zhan family's estate into four parts, and give them to Zhan Tian, Zhan Xi, Zhan Hong, and the Seventh Duke Zhan Liang respectively......"

"Huh?" Zhan Wenjun was taken aback, if it was said that the news of Guo Mian's return to his home was still to calm people's hearts and increase pressure on the enemy, but to divide Zhan's property into four, why did she struggle all these days? "Lang Jun, when my father was leaving, he specially told me that I should not let this family break up no matter what. Besides, this world is like this, without a family, there is no foundation for the survival of the Zhan family, and this name and surname will definitely disappear in this generation, I ...... I ......"

Xu You smiled and said, "Madame, don't worry, no matter how stupid I am, I will not let Madam become a sinner of the Zhan clan through the ages." The reason why this is so is just to demagogue people, so that Zhan Tian and the others should not stand on Zhan Ting's side for the time being. All Zhan Ting can give them is money, but what you promise them is an independent gateway and a long-term vision of taking charge of a family name. With this long-term vision, we can delay it for a few more days, and when the plan is successful, the Zhan family will naturally still be the Zhan family of the lady! “

Zhan Wenjun was silent, the most important family at the time, whether it was the top gate valve or the small and medium-sized scholar family, they would take one family and one surname as the foundation of their lives, and if they were together, they would gather, and if they were separated, they would not be separated.

"This is a strategy, if it weren't for the variable of King Hengyang, there would be no need to take this move." Xu You was relieved: "It's just that we have no choice at the moment, if we don't win by surprise, I'm afraid that if we can't wait for the plan to be implemented, the Guo family will be suppressed and shattered...... Madam, at that time, will there still be a possibility for the Zhan clan to exist? ”

Before Zhan Wenjun could reply, Wan Qi pushed the door in, followed by Shishu, her demeanor revealed a relieved relief, and said, "Li Ji has recruited!" “

is still the same sentence, entering the spring well, there should be few people who can stand up and not confess, but Li Ji's recruitment so quickly is still beyond everyone's expectations.

"Li Ji is not here to be instructed by King Hengyang."

The first sentence of the Ten Books made Zhan Wenjun breathe a sigh of relief, and she continued: "Li Ji was expelled from the palace a few months ago because he accidentally shot and injured one of King Hengyang's personal attendants during a hunt, and was ostracized by his colleagues. ”

The so-called personal attendant, those who are familiar with King Hengyang know, that is his prostitution. Otherwise, he would not have been furious because of some minor injuries and expelled Li Ji.

He is also the heart of King Hengyang, so he knows about the disappearance of Princess Haiyan, and he also knows that King Hengyang never forgets him, and often cried. Therefore, in the past few months, he has traveled north and south to inquire about the news, and once by chance he passed through Jingzhou and met a fellow villager who served in the shogunate of His Highness, and learned from him that he had sent a mysterious person to Qiantang. So I went to Qiantang and found out that Lord Lang had a great relationship with His Royal Highness, so I moved my mind, and after hibernating for a long time, I found the gap of a hundred paintings, and put the eyeliner in the house......"

"I see!"

Zhan Wenjun asked, "Did he send the news back?" ”

"Today, Baihua only informed him about the cliff waterfall, and then he came to the mountain, and he shouldn't have had time yet."

"I also have to worry about whether he has a back-up ......"

"Listening to what Wan Qi said, Li Ji came to Qiantang alone, and the people he used were all rangers hired from the county for money, and the leader called Cao Zeng had already surrendered to death, and the rest were imprisoned in the northern suburbs, so I set off, and after asking them for their confessions, I can verify the truth of what Li Ji said."

Zhan Wenjun nodded and said, "You go, be careful on the road, I'll deal with it here." ”

Shishu bowed and left, she was responsible for Princess Haiyan, so she was most concerned about this matter. Xu You felt that Li Ji's confession was too refreshing, and said, "Madam, let's go and see this Li Langjun who is dedicated to the main thing." “

Zhan Wenjun got up with a smile and said, "Lang Jun, please!" “

The cold spring is full of cold air to the bone, the smell of blood lingering, and there are all kinds of torture instruments that Xu You has never heard of, many with barbs and hooks, no wonder the ten books say that the cold spring is piercing, which does not seem to be an exaggeration.

Seeing Li Ji again, his hair was scattered, unconscious, his clothes were in tatters, he was completely different from Fang Cai, and there were no scars on his upper body, but his legs were crossed by unknown things, all of which were bloody marks, and the bones were visible, which was shocking.

Zhan Wenjun frowned imperceptibly, Jinxiu, who was waiting on the side, had already secretly paid attention to her expression, and couldn't help sneering when he saw this. She hung her head and stood behind again, not afraid of being discovered by Zhan Wenjun, but she didn't expect Xu You to look over and said, "Little Niang, can you tell us more about the interrogation?" ”

Jinxiu was taken aback and hurriedly said: "No! ”

She walked up to Li Ji, pointed to her feet, and said: "This is a gold shoe, there is a steel cone behind the shoe, if he stands, his hands and shoulders are imprisoned in a straight line, and he can only use his toes to exert force. ”

Xu You looked in the direction of her finger and saw a pair of wooden shoe covers, fixed on the ground and unable to move, and a cold and shining cone was erected at the heel. This kind of punishment is more of a mental torture of the inmate, of course, the pain of piercing the soles of the feet is unbearable, but before the pain, the fear of imminent arrival is the real wisdom of this punishment.

"He also has backbone, he wears gold shoes, and he can still scold, saying that if he goes out in the future, he will bring troops to raze Mingyu Mountain to the ground. Oh, I don't know how many people have come in Hanquan, every one of them scolded so when they first came up, and then they didn't obediently beg for their lives? ”

Jinxiu took out an iron comb grate from the round iron basket next to it, the front end was sharp as a claw, and there were traces of flesh and blood on it, and said with a smile: "This is a torture instrument made by a girl, called through the bone white, lightly ......"

As he spoke, he swiped his hand on Li Ji's leg, and a squeaky sound sounded, and at the same time, the skin was torn apart, and scarlet blood flowed out, and it was wet in a blink of an eye.

"Ahh

Li Ji shouted, woke up from his coma, and muttered in his malaise: "Kill me...... I've already said it, kill ...... I ......" before he finished speaking, he fainted again.

Jinxiu snorted coldly: "Kill you? How can it be so simple, there are seven kinds of torture tools in Cold Spring, and you only used two......"

"That's it!"

Xu You was disgusted, punishment has its own use, so it has been endless for thousands of years, he does not shy away from using torture, but punishment is just a means, and it is enough to get what you want. The performance of Jinxiu is obviously a perverted personality, and the torture is regarded as a kind of fun.

"I ask you, what confession did he take?"

Jinxiu put down his bones, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of Zhan Wenjun, and said: "Hui Langjun, he first said that he was ordered by His Royal Highness the King of Hengyang to come to Qiantang to find someone, and we just let him go. ”

"Oh...... And then what? ”

"Lang Jun may not know that we judge people, and we never believe what we say the first time. Then he put on a deposit of shoes, and immediately changed his words, saying that he came on his own, that there was no threat to us, and that he would not step into Qiantang again. This is a bit close, but it can't be fully believed, so I use the penetrating white ...... After that, there were originally ladder thorns, human shackles, etc., but this person's backbone was too soft, and he immediately confessed everything without reservation. “

Due to Li Ji's sensitive identity, there are only ten books and splendid embroideries in this punishment, and it goes without saying that the punishment is undoubtedly splendid and beautiful. Xu Youguan looked at her young age, pure and cute, but she didn't expect that her heart was like a snake and scorpion, and her means were very tight.

"I combed him seven times and asked him seven times, and what I said was not wrong, so it can be concluded that the confession is correct!"

It's really a line of love, Xu You had to be convinced, and smiled at Zhan Wenjun: "Madam, the spring well in your mansion really lives up to its name." ”

Whether this is praise or depreciation, it depends on the listener's heart, Jinxiu is a little proud, but Zhan Wenjun has a cold face and says, "Let's go!" Deal with him, remember, I want him alive! ”
