263 Strange Grievances (4)
The Golden Palace was burned down, and the Golden Palace was set on fire by a madman.
Emperor Tuoba was awakened by a puff of smoke, and he was about to explode. Fortunately, the arsonist had already been caught by the soldiers.
It's a pity that the person who set the fire was covered in scars and had a sluggish face. I didn't know what to say, I suddenly cried and laughed, and I looked like a madman.
Tuoba Yan looked at the madman in front of him coldly, and he always felt something strange in his heart, he didn't believe that the madman would evade the guards and successfully set fire to the Golden Palace.
So, Tuoba Yan ordered: "Now a madman dares to burn the Golden Palace, it is simply unreasonable." interrogated, tortured me, and asked him to confess the mastermind behind the scenes. ”
Qin Luo also heard about this the next day, and he asked, "Is there a big fire in the Golden Palace?" ”
"Okay, found out early. That madman was also absolutely desperate, and he aimed at His Majesty's dormitory, which frightened His Majesty. The officer in charge of the interrogation reported.
"Crazy?" Qin Luo's heart moved, "The one who can find His Majesty's dormitory will be a madman?" ”
"It's stupid, and we don't know what to say, we don't understand." The interrogating official asked for help, "Prime Minister, we really can't ask anything. Your Majesty has been urging, let's solve the case within three days. ”
"Oh." Qin Luo felt that this person was very strange, and he put down the mare's milk tea in his hand, "Then I'll go with you and take a look at this person." ”
Qin Luo arrived at the cell in Danyang City, and was shocked when he saw this "madman". This person is none other than the blacksmith Sun, who has disappeared for many days.
Qin Luo looked at Uncle Sun carefully, only to see that his hands and feet were chained, and a trace of blood was grinding out. However, what is even more heart-wrenching is that he has lost a lot of weight, almost skinny. There are numerous scars on the front chest and back, and at a glance it is clear that they were beaten with a whip.
Qin Luo endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, and asked, "Did you torture you?" ”
"Your Majesty said, torture and wait. However, this madman seems to have been tortured before, and many of his injuries have not healed, and we dare not hit him too hard. ”
I've been hurt before! Qin Luo was even more surprised, he almost couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes. Uncle Sun, Uncle Sun, what have you been through, and why did you become like this?
At this time, the blacksmith Sun fell into a coma, and the official in charge of the torture asked, "Prime Minister, do you want the jailer to wake him up?" ”
Qin Luo couldn't show sympathy for Blacksmith Sun, he took a deep breath and nodded, "Splash!" ”
A huge bucket of ice water poured from head to foot, and Blacksmith Sun was suddenly awakened, shivering from the cold, and his teeth were "gurgling". Qin Luo stared at him, his hands clenched into fists, forcing back his tears.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister is here, hurry up and explain honestly."
Blacksmith Sun heard the word "Prime Minister", squinted his eyes and looked ahead, sure enough, it was Qin Luo, and he finally saw him.
"Ahh......h
However, the nonsense in the eyes of Xiang Qiang surprised Qin Luo. Where is this nonsense, it is obvious that the blacksmith Sun is speaking the dialect of his hometown.
Qin Luo and blacksmith Sun are fellow villagers, so they can naturally understand it. He suppressed the huge shock in his heart, and listened quietly to the blacksmith Sun's final explanation to him.
"The thief has defected, and I have been caught by him. Later, he released me, but sent someone to spy on me. My time is short, and I have to venture out to meet you. ”
Qin Luo held back his tears, frowned and said in Xiang Qiang's words: "It seems that you don't plan to confess, what are you shouting nonsense!" ”
Blacksmith Sun said in dialect: "There are not many people left, and after my death, you will be in charge of all the people in Xiangqiang." If you want to contact them, go to the corner of the gate of Danyang City and leave a secret message. There will be a connector person to come over, just put the code on it. ”
Qin Luo pressed the grief in his heart and firmly wrote down the code that blacksmith Sun said. In the eyes of outsiders, blacksmith Sun is still babbling and shouting, his fingers are still scratching, and he doesn't know what to draw.
After blacksmith Sun explained everything, he laughed for a while, as if he was really crazy.
The official was about to whip him with a whip, but was stopped by Qin Luo, "It seems that he is indeed a madman who doesn't know anything, and it's useless to beat him." I heard that crazy people don't know how to hurt. ”
"Then what should I do, if Your Majesty asks about the results of the interrogation, the next official will ......"
"Put him in a cell first, and there will be no interrogation for the time being." Qin Luo took one last look at Blacksmith Sun and turned to leave.
Outside the cell, the sky was still blue. But Qin Luo knew that Blacksmith Sun would never have a chance to see the blue sky and white clouds outside. Letting him no longer be punished was the only thing Qin Luo could do for Blacksmith Sun.
That night, blacksmith Sun committed suicide in prison.
Qin Luo told Liu Changfeng the bad news the next day, Liu Changfeng cried like a tearful eye, and he said intermittently: "Uncle Sun...... I've been fine all the time, when I first entered the room...... often causes trouble, Uncle Sun not only doesn't scold me, but also wipes my buttocks. If there is no Uncle Sun...... I've been dead ten or eight times a long time ago. ”
"Before Uncle Sun died, he didn't forget his original intention, he still had a big heart and wanted to pass on the news to me." Qin Luo told Liu Changfeng the code and code words drawn by the blacksmith Sun, "Uncle Sun said, we must contact these people as soon as possible, otherwise the dragons will be leaderless and there will be chaos." ”
Liu Changfeng wiped his tears, "I made a note, I will go to the city gate tomorrow." Qin Luo, Uncle Sun's corpse...... Can we take him back and bury him? ”
"The dead bodies in Danyang's cell should be thrown to mass graves by the jailers. You go there at night, if you can find the best, if not...... Forget it, don't expose yourself. ”
"I know how to measure, and I won't let anyone find out." Liu Changfeng's eyes were red, "Uncle Sun has done his best for Da Chu all his life, and he has died." It's just that he went, and we don't yet know his real name. ”
Xiang Qiang's friends all call him Blacksmith Sun, and the intermediates call him Uncle Sun. Everyone only knows that his surname is Sun, and the rest does not know anything about when he was born and his name.
"He doesn't need these false names." Qin Luo understood the reason why Blacksmith Sun didn't say his name, "As an intermediary, he can only live in darkness all his life. Even if he dies, he will not be forgiven by the Chu people. Perhaps, he still has relatives and friends in the Chu State, he has been incognito for half his life, and he doesn't want people who know him to find him. ”
Qin Luo said it very tactfully, but Liu Changfeng understood the pain of the intermediate. Blacksmith Sun is afraid that he will defect to Xiang Qiang, discredit the family, and make relatives and friends cry.
It may be that God sympathizes with Blacksmith Sun, his body was not taken away by the wolf, and Liu Changfeng actually found Blacksmith Sun in the black and chaotic mass grave. He looked around and saw that no one was watching, so he smuggled out the body of the blacksmith Sun and buried it next to the stone mountain.
It's a pity that as an intermediary, he is destined to not be able to erect a tombstone. Liu Changfeng kowtowed to the mound three times, and silently recited in his heart: "Uncle Sun, don't worry, even if you are gone, we will not give up our mission." Don't forget your original intention, and rest until you die. ”
