Liu San put down his work, moved to the staircase, saw Li Ru and the three of them, and saluted in a proper manner.

"Alright, take me to see the people who came in during the day!"

Cao Xuan commanded.

Liu San quickly turned around and led the way in front.

There are more oil lamps in the dungeon, and behind each oil lamp, there is a fist-sized vent, and I don't know where it leads, Li Ru can clearly feel the breeze blowing when he passes by the oil lamp.

The flame of the oil lamp was shaken by the wind, and it shook slightly, and it flashed a few times, but it was not extinguished, and the air volume was just right, neither annoying the people in the dungeon, nor blowing out the oil lamp on the wall.

"Executioner Liuer, meet the commander-in-chief!"

Liu Er pinned a leather whip to his waist and bowed his hand to Li Ru.

The prisoner behind him, the upper half of his body was full of whip marks, and some places seemed to have been soaked in liquid, and the wounds did not show the usual whiteness, but became more and more red.

Li Ru walked past Liu Er, leaned over and squinted, staring at the whip marks on the prisoner's body, the tip of his nose stirred and sniffed, and a spicy smell filled Li Ru's nasal cavity.

The prisoner's lips were dry and cracked, the skin of his lips was peeling, his eyes were blank, and he was dying.

"Did he say anything?" Li Ru asked Liu Er.

This person is indeed a good hand at execution and interrogation, such a method as irrigating wounds with chili pepper water, Li Ru couldn't think of it before, the key is the scale that Liu Er grasps, the prisoner has not been tossed and fainted, and has been receiving endless torture.

"They only said that they were recommended by the elders in the clan, and then followed Wang Jing to Hedong to prepare for the position examination."

Liu Er asked a small guy next to him to take the confession written by the prisoner before.

Li Ru took the confession in his hand, read it carefully, and did not neglect a word.

"Job exams?"

Returning the confession to the little servant, Li Ru took two steps back and forth, turned around and said, "Go get a copy of the judicial exam paper, and do it for those who can still do it!" ”

The little guy had a look of embarrassment on his face.

Liu Er stepped forward, "I've already asked them to do it before dark, and there are no passes!" ”

It is precisely for this reason that Liuer feels that the other party did not tell the truth, came to the position exam, and none of them passed, so what did he do in Hedong?

It's not the era before, you can become an official by relying on family recommendation!

Li Ru pondered for a while, and suddenly smiled: "I understand, there is no need to increase the punishment, write the names of those clan elders in the confession to me on another piece of paper." ”

"Whoa!"

The little guy who took the confession turned around and returned to the desk, picked up a brush and began to write.

Li Ru took this list, and Cao Xing, Hu Che'er walked out of the dungeon.

Liu San began to clean the dungeon, and when he was processing the blood near the place where the prisoner was lying just now, he looked up and asked Liuer: "Can the rat in the prisoner's loneliness be taken out?" ”

He saw with his own eyes that Liuer ordered his subordinates with a sinister face, broke open the prisoner's mouth, and threw a little mouse that had just been born into it, and it disappeared with a squeak!

At that time, the prisoner's Adam's apple was stirring and he wanted to vomit out, but the rat preferred dark corners, and once it entered the throat, it would only burrow deeper.

In addition, there was someone carrying an oil lamp outside the prisoner's mouth, and the light was bright enough to make the little mouse not have the mind to look back.

"Take it out?"

Liu Er was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No chance, he's dead." ”

The little rats were caught in the dark corners of the dungeon, and there were five small ones in a litter, one large, and the larger one had been stripped of their skins, entrailed, pickled, and then placed outside the dungeon to dry.

Of the five small ones, four of them were eaten raw on the spot, dipped in some mixture, picked up the chopsticks, squeaked, put them in their mouths, squeaked again, and bit hard, and the little mouse made a last squeak before it died.

Three squeaks, delicious! Juicy!

Thinking of this, Liuer's eyes unconsciously looked at the prisoner's chest, but it was a pity for the little guy at the end.

But it doesn't matter, as long as there are dark corners, there are rats breeding.

"In the future, be happy!"

Liu Er patted Liu San's shoulder with a smile, returned to his recliner with a satisfied face, crossed his legs, used his hands as pillows, and closed his eyes beautifully.

Liu San shuddered, picked up the garbage in his hand, and walked out of the dungeon quickly.

......

Hanoi County, Van District.

Xu Shu and Xu Huang were bringing some gifts to visit the local clan, the Sima clan.

In the hall of Sima's mansion, everyone was talking and laughing, and they were staggered.

"Since Yuan Zhi took charge of Hanoi, the people have lived in abundance, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and even children have begun to praise Yuan Zhi ......"

Sima Lang said with a smile.

He knew what Xu Shu meant by visiting him suddenly, but it would not be wrong to pick good words first!

You can't tell the other party's intentions by yourself, people who are too smart will die quickly!

finally escaped from Dong Zhuo's side and returned to his hometown Wen County, Sima Lang hadn't rested for half a year, Xu Shu came to the door and visited with gifts, he was afraid that he would start to run around as an official again.

When Dong Zhuo was forced to enter Beijing to become an official, Sima Lang knew that Dong Zhuo would undoubtedly lose, so he bought Dong Zhuo's cronies early, and said all the good things, so that Dong Zhuo dispelled his doubts about him, and the family was able to return to Wenxian safely.

Originally, when Lü Bu and Yuan Shao were fighting for the ownership of Hanoi, the Sima clan was going south to Jingzhou to avoid trouble, and just as they were about to relocate, the news came that Yuan Shao was defeated and Lü Bu took over the entire county of Hanoi.

His father, Sima Fang, thought twice, canceled the decision to go south, and hibernate for a while.

Later, the unanimous decision in the family was to follow the Taiyuan Wang family!

"I'm here today, and I guess Boda already knows the purpose of coming, so I won't elaborate too much."

Xu Shu picked up the wine glass and drank it all, frowning slightly.

He was accustomed to drinking the Fenjiu produced in Jinyang, and suddenly entered the ordinary turbid wine in his throat, and his mouth was not very comfortable.

"Hanoi County is in dire need of management talents."

"If you want to, you don't dare to resign, when will you leave for work?"

Sima Lang said that his father Sima Fang had already resigned from his official position and returned home to recuperate, and the family spent a lot of manpower and material resources during this period of time to spread remarks favorable to Sima Lang in Wen County and the entire Hanoi County.

Build momentum for Sima Lang!

After more than a month of hard work, Xu Shu finally came to visit.

"Boda pack up, leave immediately, special treatment for special circumstances, first join, and then take the judicial exam!"

Xu Shu said.

During this period of time, the Sima family's momentum, Xu Shu also knew some clues, the other party's behavior happened to hit it off with himself, and Hanoi urgently needed a big clan to come forward to suppress some of the crumbs in the county.

Just like Jinyang back then, help one and hit a batch!

"Okay, wait a minute!"

Sima Lang turned around and went out and went back to his room to pack his bags.

My younger brother Sima Yi has been studying in Jinyang for a while, and the family letter he brought back is the same as that of the older generation in the clan!

In today's thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, only Lu Bu has a lot to do! Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are second!

Sima Lang must seize this opportunity and take the opportunity to become a leader.
