Chapter 309: Who's Mentioning That Name?
Chapter 309: Who's Mentioning That Name?
Fang Xie has left Chang'an City for more than a month, and from time to time there will be criminals involved in Prince Yi's case beheaded, although the number is not much, but since Prince Yi was arrested until now, there has been no interruption in killing people for so long. The people have become accustomed to this kind of scene, and can even be said to be numb.
More than 34,000 heads have been severed, and it seems that there is no end to it. The first offender, Prince Yi Yang Yin, did not have a law for a day, and the case would not be over in one day.
Ouchi's guard is in a tight prison
Luo Weiran walked to the deepest part of the third floor, stuck on the iron door window and looked inside. Prince Yi Yang Yin was lying on the stone bed, looking as if he was a dead man, and he was a person who had been dead for a long time. At first, Yang Yin asked to see the emperor in the form of a hunger strike, but the emperor ignored it at all.
By the time of the fifth day of his hunger strike, he was already in a state of groginess. Luo Weiran naturally wouldn't let him starve to death like this, so he sent someone in and forcibly poured two bowls of gruel into Yang Yin. Later, Yang Yin's whole person began to become muddy, and he didn't resist when the flying fish robe went in to feed him something to eat, but he didn't ask for food by himself. It's been less than three months since he was imprisoned, and he looks like he's no longer human.
Even more desolate than him is Xiao Yijiu in the prison opposite, unlike Yang Yin, Xiao Yijiu's mental state is even worse, crazy, often saying something inconsequential, no one understands what he is talking about. Because of his madness, the jailer did not dare to open the prison door when he delivered food, but threw steamed buns and other meals into the small window, and if he was hungry, he squatted down and picked up the food himself.
It seems that the once respected Taoist leader is now so embarrassed that he can't even ask for food. Because he was too dangerous, even if he sealed the air pockets and locked the bones of his limbs with iron hooks, no one dared to get too close. So this prison is so filthy that there is defecation everywhere and no one cleans it up. Far away, you can smell a disgusting smell.
Luo Weiran saw that the former senior brother had become like this, and his heart hurt as if he had been cut with a knife. But even he didn't dare to open the iron prison door easily. Ever since he and Xiao Yijiu said that an inch on the ground is the sky, Xiao Yijiu's mind has become more and more confused. I would go crazy every day, even with Luo Weiran's cultivation, I couldn't rely on it later. Although the golden needle sealed Xiao Yijiu's air pockets, it seemed that the suppressive force against Xiao Yijiu was getting weaker and weaker.
When Xiao Yijiu went crazy for the first time, Luo Weiran could still restrain him when he went in. The second time he went crazy, Luo Weiran asked people to open the iron door and was just about to enter, when Xiao Yijiu suddenly opened his mouth and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at him. Luo Weiran dodged away, but the flying fish robe behind him was shattered by this mouthful of thick phlegm.
Although Luo Weiran restrained Xiao Yijiu again this time, he took a lot of effort. He obviously felt that the strength in Xiao Yijiu's body was getting stronger and stronger, and the golden needles that had been able to seal more than ninety percent of the true qi in his body before seemed to have gradually lost their effect. Although his limbs were sealed by iron hooks and he could not move in a wide area, if his internal strength was restored, even if he did not move, it would be just as terrible. When it was time to go crazy for the third time, Luo Weiran's heart sank to the bottom.
Because of that time, he tried his best, coupled with the joint efforts of a master who could not be hidden in the Ouchi Guard, Xiao Yijiu was restrained, and then Luo Weiran took it upon himself to pierce all the qi veins in Xiao Yijiu's body with a golden hairpin. As soon as the qi pulse was discharged, Xiao Yijiu's strong internal strength could not be condensed.
In this way, Xiao Yijiu, who was crazy, was reluctantly honest.
However, only a month later, Xiao Yijiu went crazy again. The jailer who went in to bring him food only looked at him, and suddenly he was shattered into pieces of flesh all over the ground, and the flesh, bones, and internal organs were all turned into pieces. Not only that, but the sharp energy that filled the room swirled back and forth, and shredded the few flying fish robes that entered later.
On the walls, countless deep traces have been left.
That madness was the day before Fang Xie went southwest. The masters in the Ouchi guard almost poured out, and they worked together to suppress Xiao Yijiu. Even Zhuo Buyi's dedication to painting the ground as a prison could not make Xiao Yijiu quiet. Luo Weiran had no choice but to use heavy techniques to shatter most of Xiao Yijiu's qi sea, which was difficult to contain, leaving only a wisp of incomplete breath.
He was extremely careful when he attacked, because once Xiao Yijiu's qi sea was shattered, he was afraid that Xiao Yijiu would die on the spot.
And before the emperor's will comes down, Xiao Yijiu can't die yet. Luo Weiran couldn't bear to let his senior brother die, and then he ordered no one to open the iron gate. But no one thought that even so, on the twentieth day after Fang Xie left Chang'an City, Xiao Yijiu would go crazy again.
This time, the masters of the Ouchi Guards who entered the iron gate were all killed except for Luo Weiran. If Luo Weiran hadn't reacted quickly and retreated, I was afraid that it would have turned into a piece of minced meat. You must know that the three masters who subdued Xiao Yijiu were all worshiped by the Ouchi Guard, and their cultivation was very strong, but they turned into pieces of meat without even reacting before they entered.
Luo Weiran asked the iron door to be closed, and no one dared to approach this secret room since then.
During this period, Luo Weiran entered the palace several times to ask the emperor, but he only saw the emperor once. After entering the palace four or five times, Su Buwei turned him away on the grounds that His Majesty was busy with court affairs. Only once when he entered the palace, the emperor saw him, and he mentioned Xiao Yijiu's situation, but the emperor didn't say anything, but just instructed the criminal department to close the case as soon as possible.
But the officials of the Criminal Department did not dare to enter Xiao Yijiu's secret prison at all, and they did not get any confession at all.
These two felons, one is so insane that it is frightening, and the other is so weak that he only has half a life left.
But His Majesty didn't give an order for a while, and Luo Weiran could only carefully let them live.
……
……
Luo Weiran looked at the thin figure lying on the stone bed in the prison, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Open the Door"
He commanded with a wave of his hand.
The flying fish robe on duty opened the iron door where Prince Yi was imprisoned, and Luo Weiran stepped in. With a bowl of rice porridge in his hand, he walked to a chair beside the stone bed and sat down.
Yang Yin, who was lying with his back to the iron door, turned around, and when he saw that it was Luo Weiran, he immediately smiled with difficulty. It's only been a few months, and it's almost impossible to see his original appearance. The cheeks are sunken in, so the cheekbones appear high. The eye sockets were deeper than the sunken cheeks, and the eyes that were once radiant were now bulging outward, so cloudy that it was almost impossible to distinguish between black and white eyeballs.
His current appearance was as if there was no flesh on his skull at all, but a layer of skin directly applied to him. Beneath the skin is the bones, and the skin is covered with folds.
"Why are you here in person today?"
Yang Yin tried to sit up, but the two arms that were as dry as wooden sticks had lost most of their strength. Luo Weiran helped him sit down, then pointed to the bowl of porridge and said, "Eat something, although the ending is already doomed, why should you not get along with your body?" It is much better to be stabbed when the time comes to eat and drink well than to torture yourself like this. ”
Yang Yin smiled: "You're really not a ...... who can persuade people Where am I torturing myself...... At first, I really wanted to go on a hunger strike, and it would be best if Your Majesty saw me because of this, and if he didn't see me, it would be a good choice for me to starve to death so as not to be humiliated in front of others. But you didn't let me die, and I don't know why, but when I saw the food, I was disgusted and disgusted. ”
"You're too hungry."
Luo Weiran picked up the evening and handed it to him: "Let's eat some." ”
Yang Yin didn't refuse, took it and took a sip with a frown, but immediately spit it out again.
He smiled bitterly: "The first few bites you eat, you always have to spit it out." ”
Luo Weiran wanted to say that he knew why he had to do it today, but he swallowed the words again when he came to his mouth. What's the point of saying such things to Yang Yin at this time?
Yang Yin slowly drank the second sip, and was silent for a while before smiling: "Today is not bad, this porridge has been boiled for a long time, it is not like what others sent in the past, and the rice is still a little stiff...... By the way, Xiao Yijiu...... What's wrong? ”
"Crazy"
Luo Weiran shook her head and replied.
"Really crazy?"
Yang Yin asked again. With this sentence, his character is completely exposed. He is not a person who trusts others, and he sees everything darkly.
"Really"
Luo Weiran nodded.
"Did I hurt him?"
Yang Yin was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "The time I went to Qingfeng to see him, he was still so high-spirited when I talked to him, I asked him who was taller between him and Dean Zhou, and he said that he didn't know how tall Dean Zhou was, but he knew that he was already tall." ”
"Senior brother...... It's already very high. ”
Luo Weiran sighed: "If it weren't for the fact that Shizun was still in Chang'an, no one would have been able to control him that day." ”
"Master?"
Yang Yin's expression stiffened suddenly, and his face was full of incredulity: "You said that the old man who blocked the warship in my mansion that day was Xiao Yijiu's master?" Wait a minute...... You just said Senior Brother...... You and Xiao Yijiu are brothers? ”
"That's right"
Luo Weiran nodded: "That's why I said, you think you know about this Chang'an City, but there are too many things you don't know...... The scary thing in the Yanwu Academy is not Dean Zhou, but Shizun. Shizun has been living in seclusion in the Yanwu Academy for a long, long time, so long that even he has forgotten how many years. ”
"When we first learned art, we were on the mountain behind the Taiji Palace. At that time, we didn't know that Shizun lived in seclusion in the Yanwu Academy, and we didn't know that there was a secret passage behind the Yanwu Academy that led directly to the Taiji Palace. That's right...... There is one thing you should never have imagined, Prince Zhong, is my senior brother. ”
When he heard this, Yang Yin's already ugly face immediately turned as white as paper.
"No wonder...... No wonder the fourth brother has always been so indifferent. With such a strong backing, what is he afraid of? I've been planning for so many years, and it's better for that old man to block the power of my big ship with one hand. ”
"Who is he?"
Yang Yin couldn't help but ask.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you, because it won't be long before Your Majesty plans to reveal the identity of the master. The master's name is Wan Xingchen, and he was already the first person in the rivers and lakes many years ago. ”
"It's ......"
Yang Yin's hand shook violently, and a lot of porridge in the bowl spilled: "It turned out to be his ......"
At this moment, suddenly an angry roar came from the prison opposite.
"Wan Xingchen? Who's mentioning the name?! ”
It was Xiao Yijiu's voice, full of anger and fear. Immediately after, a jumble of sounds came, and a puff of smoke and dust poured out of the iron window of the prison opposite.
It was the powder ash that Xiao Yijiu frantically volatilized from his internal strength, and there were immediately many deep traces on the ground and walls.
In the prison, Xiao Yijiu's dirty long hair danced wildly. He looked up, and a gleam slowly emerged from his cloudy eyes.
"Wan Xingchen! I'm not afraid of you...... I'm not afraid of you! ”
The madman roared loudly: "Don't think that your Ten Thousand Swords Guiyuan is invincible in the world, I will defeat you sooner or later...... I'm going to beat you! I'm going to beat you! I'm the one standing at the top, I'm the ......."
