(Chapter 25) Lonely Snow Falls in Tuzhou City (10)
Every time I come to the dungeon, I always have a feeling that my hairs stand on end, I don't know if it's because the dungeon has to be lit with candles to see it, or because the winter dungeon is as cold as snow and snow.
Emperor Sanqing blesses, I don't want to stay here for a few days in my life.
Walking into the interrogation room with my neck and hands bent, I coughed deliberately loudly.
The middle-aged man, whose hands and feet were locked in handcuffs and shackles, looked up and saw that it was me, and he lowered his head in disinterest to break the iron cuffs on his wrists.
This is too faceless, right?
I sat down heavily in front of him.
Song Liang reminded, "The tables and chairs in the prison stay in cold and damp places all year round, you should be light, it is not very strong." ”
As soon as Song Liang finished speaking, the chair I was sitting on suddenly clicked and cracked.
I hurriedly stood up.
"You speak with respect."
Every time the master comes to the dungeon, he has to be sneered at by this guy, the partial master is never angry, he can only stand by and stare dryly, today he can't help it.
Song Liang glanced at Wang Jie twice, and then smiled, "Finally can't bear it anymore?" ”
Wang Jie's face darkened, pursed his lips and did not speak.
"Your skills are much worse than your master's." Song Liang mocked, "Sure enough, a dog is a dog, and it is incomparable." ”
"You!" Wang Jie glared angrily, but had nothing to refute.
I leaned sideways to block Wang Jie's angry gaze, and Song Liang smiled disdainfully when he saw this.
"Huh." I laugh.
Song Liang looked at me defiantly.
"Someone."
"The little official is here." Two jailers hurried over.
I pointed at Song Liang and said with a smile, "Hang him up and beat him to death." ”
The jailers met each other and immediately complied. They pulled up Song Liang, who looked incredulous, and walked towards the torture rack.
"Shen Qingzhi, you!"
was tied to the torture rack, and the blood remaining on the torture rack soaked his thin prison clothes at once, and Song Liang's body trembled subconsciously.
I sat on the chair that Song Liang was sitting on just now, my eyes didn't blink, and I said coldly, "Hit." ”
The jailer did not dare to slack off, and raised his whip and whipped it down.
"Ahh
The whip slammed on the flesh, and the warm blood was printed out of it in an instant, and Song Liang's forehead was bulging, his limbs twitched, and he screamed in pain.
"Master, you ......"
Wang Jie looked at me in astonishment, he actually didn't understand my indulgent behavior towards Song Liang, after all, Song Liang was an important matter in Tuzhou, and they had to get useful things from his mouth, and now I would order Song Liang to be whipped, which he never expected.
I raised my hand to stop Wang Jie's words.
"In front of the prime minister, there is a price to be paid for being presumptuous." I whispered coldly to Song Liangdao, who was being whipped by the jailers.
Song Liang was so painful that he couldn't even say a complete sentence, and the taste of the skin and flesh was probably enough for him to remember for the rest of his life.
Seeing that Song Liang only had half a life left, Wang Jie couldn't help but say to me, "Master, Song Liang's life is still useful." ”
I flicked my slightly wrinkled sleeve lightly and said, "Let him go." ”
The jailer was ordered, stopped the whip, and untied the rope from Song Liang's body. Because there was no rope to tie up the support, Song Liang fell directly to the ground.
Although he was beaten and screamed, Song Liang turned over with difficulty, lying on his back on the prison floor and laughing hoarsely.
The jailers looked at the prisoner on the ground with a puzzled expression, only thinking that he had been beaten stupidly.
I looked coldly at Song Liang, who was laughing with his mouth open, and didn't say a word.
"I thought that the prime minister, the head of my hundred officials, was a cunning person who could only hide a knife in his smile, but I didn't expect that Lord Shen Xiang would still lose his temper." Song Liang mocked, "Is it because of a subordinate? ”
Wang Jie looked at me.
I said coldly, "If you really think it's boring to live, you don't mind doing a good deed." ”
"How dare you bother your lordship?" Song Liang smiled strangely, "My lord came to me this time, but what's the matter?" ”
When it came to business, my expression returned to its original appearance. I got up and walked over to Song Liang's side and looked at him condescendingly.
"I heard that the Song Governor's Mansion has a unique ability to investigate the private affairs of others? I have always admired him, and I want to learn a few tricks, I don't know if Governor Song is willing to teach one or two? ”
"You beat me like this, why should I teach you?"
I smiled and looked at him, "Come on, go to the punishment." ”
"Don't, don't." Song Liang softened: "I'm afraid of you." ”
It's good to know that you're afraid.
I said, "Tell me, what's the secret?" ”
The snowflakes in the sky kept falling all the time, and the north wind that went straight into the cracks of the clothes was whistling wantonly, and the cold snowdrifts were only raised stones except for a few dead grasses that had not been buried.
The wind in this suburb is stronger than in the city of Tuzhou.
Wang Jie clenched the cold sword in his hand, and his ears were red from the cold. He looked at the excited master in front of him, and covered his ears speechlessly.
"Master, do you really believe him?"
I stared at the Acacia Pavilion dozens of meters in front of me, and replied, "Song Liang said, this Acacia Pavilion is the favorite place for the young master and Miss Tuzhou to have a private meeting, and we are ambushed here, yes." ”
"But on this cold day, who will come to this private meeting?"
"You don't understand that." I decided to teach this subordinate who has no open brains: "Men and women who have affection, their hearts are gentle winds in spring, ice cubes to cool off in summer, ripe fruits in autumn, and hot coals in winter." Cold? You put the coals in your clothes pocket, do you feel cold? ”
Wang Jie shook his head: "I feel hot." ”
I choked, and then nodded, "It's hot, it's right, this thing of emotion is to burn people tightly." ”
"If it hurts people, why are so many people still flocking to it?" Wang Jie became interested, and he asked.
This one... What's this......
"Because...... Because they're not smart enough. ”
Wang Jie listened to my answer, and he lost interest in an instant.
"Then it's better for the subordinate to be a smart person"
"It's not." I looked back and tried to explain to him "I didn't mean that......"
Wang Jie didn't want to hear my explanation at all, he pointed to the Acacia Pavilion and said, "Someone is coming." ”
"Huh?" I didn't react.
Wang Jie pressed my head, he covered my mouth, and whispered in my ear, "It's Yunsheng's sister." ”
The warm breath was in my ears, and I suppressed the exclamation that came to my mouth, and I patted Wang Jie's hand, signaling that he could take it away.
Wang Jie seemed stunned for a moment, and then he put down his hand.
I stuck my head out a little, and a woman came to the pavilion.
The woman was dressed in a plain ink-trimmed hook-and-stripe dress, with nothing hanging from the skirt except for a delicate bell ringing in the cold wind. A blue hairpin was inserted in her bun, the hairpin seemed to be an old thing, and the warm luster revealed the changes of time, but the woman kept it very well, without wear and tear, and without a trace of dust.
The snow was flying, and the woman was holding an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, and she tightened the cloak on her body, her gentle and clean face was pale and sickly.
She seemed to be waiting for someone, but she wasn't in a hurry, she just quietly watched the snow fluttering outside the pavilion.
Suddenly, a figure sneaked up behind a snowdrift in front of us.
My eyes lit up.
It turned out to be Yun Sheng.
"What are they doing?" Wang Jie asked me in a low voice.
I shook my head, indicating that I didn't know either.
Wang Jie saw that I didn't know, so he stopped making a sound, and I didn't speak, so everyone just lay quietly in the snow and waited for a while.
The sound of "squeak" stepping on the snow came from far and near, I cheered up and looked out secretly, and Wang Jie also followed me to look out.
Yunyin also heard the voice, and she looked at the source of the sound.
In the heavy snow, a little green shadow slowly approached with a white jade umbrella.
The dark cloud silk robe brushed the fluttering snowflakes, he stood still in front of the Acacia Pavilion, did not speak, did not leave, the sharp eyes seemed to reflect the snow, and seemed to reflect the plain skirt woman in the Acacia Pavilion staring at him blankly.
"Yinyin." He called her name.
As if she had woken up, Yunyin hurriedly took a step back to leave.
"Yunyin." He stopped her.
There was anger and trembling in his voice.
Yun Yin subconsciously stopped, and this time he couldn't move anymore.
"Yinyin."
Yun Yin looked at the man in the snow with a forced smile and said, "I...... Zisheng asked me to meet here, and he said that he had something important to say to me...... I... I just came......"
"If he doesn't say that, do you plan to hide in the cloud mansion all the time and never see me?"
"I... I didn't hide from you......"
"Really?" The man looked at Yunyin like a force.
Yunyin turned away, tears running down her cheeks, no sound and no weight.
“…… You know, I'm married to another man's wife...... Even if I am now a widow who has killed her husband, I will still keep the woman's virtue that should be kept. ”
The green tendons of the man's hand holding the handle of the umbrella were clearly visible, and he seemed to be trying his best to hide something, and the cracks on the handle of the umbrella spread upwards inch by inch.
"Yinyin, turn around and look at me." The man slowed down, "Let's have a good talk." ”
He knew she was crying, and he could see that she was secretly wiping her tears.
"There's no need for that...... Since Zisheng didn't come, I'm leaving......"
With that, Yunyin opened the paper umbrella and left, walking disheveledly as if there was something to shoot chasing her behind.
The snow was very deep, and because of walking fast, Yunyin accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt and fell into the snow.
"Yinyin." The man came quickly, and he threw the umbrella in his hand to pick the woman up from the snow.
Yun Yin pushed him away hard, and her body shrank into a ball as she trembled.
Seeing her like this, the man sighed helplessly.
"Even if you don't want to see me, you don't have to abuse yourself like this. It's cold in the snow, I'll let you go when I take you to the pavilion, okay? ”
Yunyin didn't speak, only shook her head.
"Your health has always been bad, even if I beg you, don't treat yourself like this." The man lowered his body.
"Jiang Hewei, I'm no longer worthy of you." She cried, tears cold in the cold wind.
The man couldn't bear it anymore, so he forcibly picked up the woman and walked towards the Acacia Pavilion.
"Yunyin, in this life, I don't want to hear you say that you are not worthy of me again."
