Chapter 269: Torture is necessary
As he spoke, a person walked in from outside the garden, this person was dark-skinned, short and fat, and his appearance was obviously different from that of the people of the Central Plains, with a cloth on his head, bare feet, trouser legs rolled up, carrying a small wooden box in his left hand, and a large bamboo basket in his right hand, which was almost half his height!
After this person walked into the garden, Li Ri knew: "Is this person from Tianzhu, but he looks a bit like Kunlun Nu!" ”
Shi Bayi hurriedly said: "Almost, they are all slaves!" ”
Li Rizhi saluted the slave from Tianzhu to him, and he said: "Tianzhu is in the extreme south, look at this person, he is so tanned, he must have been a farming slave before, so he is so tanned, does Brother Shi want him to perform special skills in farming?" ”
Shi Bayi thought to himself: "If you don't learn and don't know how to do it, how did this person become an official, it must be because of the relationship of the family!" However, the more you rely on the family, the more you can't afford to mess with it! ”
Shi Bayi pointed to this Tianzhu slave and said: "That's not it, this person can't farm, but he can play the flute, it's very weird, Li Guanren can see it at a glance!" ”
As he spoke, Shi Bayi clapped his hands at Tianzhu Nu, who immediately put the big bamboo basket in his hand on the ground in front of him, and then he also sat on the ground, crossed his legs, opened the wooden box, and took out a strange-shaped flute from it, which looked like a gourd on the outside, and there were two blowpipes made of bamboo on it.
Li Rizhi already knew at this time that the Tianzhu slave in front of him was the one last night, and he just wanted to see now, why did the young man say that as long as the flute was there, no one would dare to come, and if he came, he would die, why was this?
Could it be that the weirdness is in the bamboo basket in front of Tianzhu Nu?
With the sound of the flute, suddenly, a snake head appeared in the bamboo basket, this snake head is huge, bigger than an adult's fist, triangular, and it is the snake head of a giant poisonous snake at a glance!
It turned out that there was a snake inside the bamboo basket, which was really something I didn't expect beforehand!
Chen Yingying is a woman, she didn't prepare in advance, and suddenly saw a snake head emerging from the bamboo basket, screamed in fright, jumped up from her seat, and hid behind Li Rizhi!
Li Rizhi hurriedly comforted, he knew that although it was a huge poisonous snake, it would not come over to bite people, since Shi Bayi could treat this as a show, it means that it is just scary to watch, and there will be no danger in fact!
Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizi were also taken aback, they had never seen such a trick, although Cheng Zizi had been hunting since he was a child, but it was the first time he had seen such a big poisonous snake.
Cheng Zizi said: "Uncle Shi, this poisonous snake is called a rice shovel head, the neck will swell up, and the pattern on it is like the devil's eyes, this kind of snake is rare in the Central Plains!" ”
Seeing that Cheng Zizi was also wearing an official uniform, Shi Bayi hurriedly said politely: "Exactly, but officials don't have to worry, this snake is extremely tamed, very docile, and will not bite!" ”
He looked at Chen Yingying and hurriedly added: "Don't be afraid, this girl, this trick is thrilling to watch, but in fact there is no danger!" ”
Chen Yingying snorted and said, "You should have said it in advance!" Well, it's not interesting to say this trick in advance, this son will spare you this time! ”
She turned around and sat back in her seat, but she didn't like snakes, so she didn't want to see them even if the snake slave played with snakes!
Li Rizhi saw that the snake made all kinds of different movements under the urging of the flute, and after a while, the Tianzhu slave actually took out a free hand and pointed at the mouth of the poisonous snake with his finger, and the poisonous snake spit out the snake letter, and did not bite him!
Li Rizhi thought to himself: "This poisonous snake seems to be extremely obedient, but Helan Anwen was poisoned by snake venom!" ”
Although the case file in Yongzhou Mansion is vaguely recorded, it is only a vague record of the "suspect", and it is all based on speculation, but as for Helan Anwen, what poison he died, it is recorded very clearly, and it is definitely not speculation!
Helan An heard that he was poisoned to death after eating a quail that had been poisoned by snakes!
Li Rizhi looked at the huge poisonous snake with two devil eye patterns on its back, could it be this snake?
The play was over after a while, and the huge poisonous snake got back into the bamboo basket, and Tianzhu Nu sealed the mouth of the bamboo basket and was about to retreat, but was stopped by Li Rizhi.
Li Ri knew: "Your name is Abar, you are from Tianzhu, what is the name of your snake, and how long have you been raising it?" ”
Abal can understand the Central Plains dialect, presumably he has been in the Central Plains for a long time, saluted Li Rizhi, and said: "The little slave's name is Abal, he is a Tianzhu person, this snake has no official name, but the villain usually calls him the Devil's Eye, and he has been raising it for five years!" ”
Li Rizhi nodded, it can be seen from Abbar's answer that this is a very well-behaved person, what the superior asks him, he answers, not saying a word, such slaves are generally very obedient to the master, what the master asks him to do, he will do!
Last night, the young man's voice that Li Rizhi heard was definitely not Shi Bayi's, and he remembered the voice very clearly, if he asked the past one by one now, he could distinguish it.
Li Rizhi pointed at the Tianzhu slave and said: "This Abal is too ugly, and he doesn't look like a good person, so the official suspects that he killed Helan, and wants to take him away and torture him, so that he can tell the truth!" ”
When the Chen family's family heard this, they immediately had the consciousness of being an official, although they were still just family members, they rushed up together and grabbed Abal, of course, no one dared to touch the big bamboo basket, and threw it far away!
Shi Bayi was taken aback, he said: "What, why is this arresting, the villain thinks that this matter has nothing to do with this Tianzhu slave of my family......"
Before he could finish speaking, Li Rizhi glared at him and shouted: "You old man, full of nonsense, how do you know that it has nothing to do with him, do you eat with him during the day and sleep together at night?" ”
Shi Bayi saw that Li Rizhi suddenly turned his face, his face turned pale with fright, and he secretly said in his heart: "This turtle in the countryside is really unreasonable, it is actually a sour-faced turtle, turning his face is faster than turning a book, how can I sleep with this black Tianzhu slave, when I am also a turtle!" ”
Shi Bayi's face stiffened, and he said continuously: "No, no, villain...... I also think it has something to do with him! ”
Li Rizhi's eyes widened, and then he shouted: "He is your slave, he has a relationship with him, even if he has a relationship with you, this official will also take you away and torture you!" ”
"It really has nothing to do with the villain, the villain, the villain...... There are heavy gifts to give, which will definitely satisfy Li Guanren and all the officials and sons! ”
In the face of the sour-faced turtle official, Shi Bayi's sense of superiority was lost, and he had no choice but to admit it, and if he couldn't be reasonable, he could only be polite!
Li Rizhi said loudly: "No, today the official must take away two, this Tianzhu slave is counted as one, and you have to take away another one of your family, if you want men not women, if you want young people not to be old, call all the young men in your family, if anyone doesn't come, then who has something to do with it, the world is wanted, after being caught, tortured!" ”
Shi Bayi felt that this Li Guanren had no ability other than shouting and torture, but with such a skill, he couldn't crack it, unless he resisted now, the consequences would be even more serious, he didn't dare!
Stubbornly scolding in his heart, Shi Bayi could only call his children and grandchildren, no one dared not come, a total of two middle-aged people and four young people, all came to the back garden.
Li Rizhi looked at Chen Yingying and said: "That snake scared you just now, and now I am angry with you, if you see anyone who is not pleasing to the eye, we will take whoever goes, and after returning to the yamen, we will torture you!" ”
Chen Yingying immediately understood what was going on, Li Rizhi wanted to hear the voice, in fact, she also remembered the young man's voice last night, and she could distinguish it.
Chen Yingying waved her hand and said, "These two people are not good-looking, they will be brought back and tortured!" ”
The people she was referring to were the two middle-aged people, it seemed that they were Shi Bayi's two sons, and it was the voice of a young man last night, it shouldn't be these two middle-aged people!
Hearing this statement, the two middle-aged people were naturally anxious and hurriedly defended, in fact, they were still remarkable, not too ugly, and the four young people were also anxious, and hurriedly took the initiative to step forward, saying that they were ugly, don't take their father, let's take them away!
Every young man is very filial, at least on the surface!
