Li Mao looked at the bloody lump of flesh and sighed: "I heard that I committed suicide by biting my tongue before, but I never understood, how can a person have such a ruthless heart to bite off his own tongue?" Qingmo was also surprised, he didn't have the heart to bite off his tongue.

The guards outside the door heard the call and burst in, and the accompanying military doctor hurriedly treated him. Among these people who followed Li Mao to Dengzhou, several were from the Pinglu Military Prison, and they were good at interrogation, and they knew what was going on at a glance.

A middle-aged man with a gloomy face lowered his head and picked up the lump of meat, looked at it, and threw it into the charcoal brazier, in a pungent smell of burning, the two entourages who followed him took a step forward and moved the temporary bookcase, and the middle-aged man put the cowhide acupuncture bag sandwiched under his armpit on the table, unfastened the hidden button, and spread it out, and the cloth layer inside the lining was full of all kinds of needles and knives.

Li Mao watched coldly and said nothing.

When the cold-faced middle-aged man was fiddling with his gadgets, two attendants had already hung Li Zhun up. The leather whip dipped in salt water looked at his chest and abdomen and beckoned, and Li Zhun woke up from his coma, squirting blood foam and whining sounds.

One person cursed: "Pharmacist Li is talking about the art of war in front of him, which is ridiculous and self-conscious. If you have a kind of bite and bite it off, that's a loyal slave. Li Zhun was still laughing, but there was a hint of panic in his laughter. Li Mao chuckled in his heart, knowing that he was being tricked by Li Zhun. I was thinking in my heart: The wicked must be sharpened by the wicked, even if you have iron teeth and bronze teeth, how can you resist Zhou Mo'an's methods.

A slender silver needle pierced the crook of Li Zhun's arm, and a long and terrible howl sounded in the night sky.

Li Mao didn't feel that his scalp was tight, when he had been pierced in the crook of his arm, the pain of not being able to survive and not being able to die was really difficult to express in words.

He couldn't bear what he saw, and he couldn't go out, so he paced back and forth anxiously, and his heart was like oil.

Qingmo's face was as frightened as a person, he looked back at Li Mao, and saw that he was not moving like a mountain, so he felt a little comforted in his heart, he licked his lips and moved towards Li Mao.

……

After pricking the needle, the leather whip dipped in salt water was pumped again, and the clothes on Li Zhun's body fell like snow in a dull sound, and after the leather whip, followed by a soldering iron, the smell of burnt skin and flesh filled the air, and Li Zhun passed out again.

Li Mao was a little numb.

The guard unhurriedly lifted the bucket and poured half a bucket of cold water on Li Zhun's face, Li Zhun woke up, panting, and said vaguely: "I'm a small county lieutenant, how can I buy and sell officials, you are looking for the wrong person." ”

Li Mao said: "I advise you to do it truthfully, otherwise you won't be able to get off this torture rack." (Baidu search gives the fastest and most stable update to the literature network)" Li Zhun said with a smile: "No is no, how to recruit ......"

Zhou Mo'an didn't say a word, uncovered the dark layer of the acupuncture bag, took out four iron tongs, and placed them on the bookcase in turn, and took out six iron hammers of different thicknesses, two delicate small iron hammers and seven scrapers of different shapes, as well as a roll of steel wire, iron brush, and auger.

Li Zhun looked at the torture instruments and swallowed his saliva.

Zhou Mo'an pinched two iron chisels and handed them to two assistants, one assistant held up Li Zhun's right hand, separated his middle finger, and the assistant inserted the iron chisel into the fingernails, and Zhou Mo'an held a small nail hammer and knocked it down accurately......

Li Mao felt a wave of nausea and hurriedly turned his head.

Li Zhun resisted and carried it stubbornly, but after all, he couldn't bear it, and let out a heart-rending howl.

When the third iron drill was nailed, Li Zhun's bean-sized beads of sweat on his forehead kept rolling, and his face was sallow and dying.

Li Mao snorted his assistant, stepped forward and asked, "In the hands of Zhou Mo'an, you can't bear it, so you can recruit it." Li Zhun nodded silently and admitted it. Zhou Mo'an packed up the guy, still tucked the leather bag under his armpit, and walked out expressionlessly.

The guards dispersed, Qingmo Zhenyi sat down behind the bookcase, picked up the pen, laid out the paper, and muttered: "I can still speak even if I bite my tongue, and it is also a strange news in the world!" After suffering this sin, you opened your mouth to confess, and you said that you are not cheap. ”

Li Zhun squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "...... I admit it, I'll say anything, just give me a good time. ”

Qingmo said: "I knew why I had to do it today, you, you." ”

Li Zhun grinned bitterly, and said to himself: "You must laugh at me for being a cheap species, if you don't use the torture equipment, you just don't say it, I will die if I say it, do you think I can say it easily?" ”

Li Mao said: "If you say it 1510, maybe you don't have to die, if you hide something, there must be a way to make your life worse than death." Li Zhun nodded and said, "I said, I said it all, I just hope that I can see my wife before I die." Li Mao said: "I said that as long as you tell the truth, you don't have to die, and even your current official position can be kept." Li Zhun was silent for a moment and asked, "Can you really be his master?" ”

Li Mao said: "The general will not be subject to the orders of the monarch outside." ”

After getting this promise, Li Zhun poured out what he knew, and corresponded to the situation that Li Mao had mastered, Li Mao judged that at least five of the ten sentences were true, and even these five truths were enough to make people's hearts jump.

After the interrogation, Li Zhun's face was sallow, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, and Li Mao asked Li Zhun: "Can you still hold on?" Li Zhun was muffled, Li Mao shouted and let him go, and the guards came in to mix Li Zhun out for treatment.

Qingmo asked Li Mao: "Really let him go?" ”

Li Mao flicked the thick confession and said: "With him, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you and me to return to Yunzhou alive." Qingmo said: "The so-called tiger returns to the mountain, aren't you afraid that he will bite us in turn?" Li Mao said: "The person who betrays the master, does he have the guts?" Qingmo blinked and said, "That's right." ”

……

At noon on the 2nd, Li Zhun limped back to the county office, and saw that Zheng Rong, the state military officer, and Chen Xiang, the county chief clerk, were sitting under the porch in front of the door of his duty room, so he arched his hand at the two. Zheng Rong saw that he was limping and his legs were not very neat, so he quipped: "What's wrong with your brother?" What new tricks did I play with Sister Pu last night? ”

Li Zhun pointed to his mouth and said vaguely: "Fart, I drank too much, I fell when I went out, and I was wasted." Chen Xiang said: "I drank in the Drunken Immortal Residence last night and disappeared from your trace, and I couldn't find it everywhere when I turned around, and I thought you eloped with Sister Pu." Hey, where did you fall like this? ”

Li Zhun shook his head, covered his mouth and said: "Phew, my dignified seven-foot man will elope with a *son, I will go to a chick ****, fresh sheep and tender grass, and the tossed Lao Tzu will fall apart." Zheng Rong tilted his head and stared at Li Zhun's mouth, and grinned: "What's wrong with the mouth, let the chick bite off her tongue?" Open your mouth and I'll see. ”

Li Zhun covered his mouth and dodged left and right to prevent him from looking, Chen Xiang shook his head and said: "I didn't tell the truth, I just said that I was drunk and fell a big heel, and now I will go to the **** of the chicks, the sentence in your mouth is true, which sentence is false?" Zheng Rong also felt bored, so he sighed and said: "Your brother doesn't have any benefits with his brother, it's really not interesting, let's go." Tonight at Zheng Baoer's house, I am the east, and those who don't come are Wang Ba. ”

The two of them went out with a smile, Li Zhun covered his mouth and limped into the duty room, closed the door, he stood by the window and looked out secretly, and when he saw Zheng Rong and Chen Xiang walking away, he immediately opened the door and walked out of the back door of the county office, took a small road and limped home, and said to a wife, two concubines and four servants: "Pack up the guys and follow me to the port." ”

His wife Jia Shi exclaimed: "Didn't you say that you went back to Mizhou? ”

Li Zhun said perfunctorily: "It's back to Mizhou, let's take the waterway." ”

After that, he changed into civilian clothes, and got on two black chariots that had been prepared all the way out of the city, the carriage was bumpy, Li Zhun couldn't sit still, he could only stand, the carport was low, he could only kneel in the carriage, and when he arrived at the dock, his knees were worn out.

There was a large sea ship moored in the harbor, and a small boat was waiting on the dock, which Li Zhun had set up before Li Maoren arrived in Dengzhou.

Board the big boat in a small boat and set sail for the sea. When he couldn't see the coastline, Li Zhun breathed a sigh of relief, and his wife Jia Shi said: "What's wrong, leaving in such a hurry?" ”

Li Zhun put his hands behind his back and said: "Last night made people calculate, more than ten years of hard work turned into nothing, Ziqing, we can't stay any longer." Haven't you always wanted to return to the countryside, in fact, I also want to, but I have always been reluctant to this prosperity, and now that it is good, I have to give it up if I am not reluctant. ”

Jia Shi was stunned for a while when she heard these brainless words, but when she heard her husband say that she wanted to retreat to the countryside with her, away from right and wrong, she was still happy in her heart, and she had always been dignified and steady, leaning on her husband's shoulder with a slight side.

As soon as he enjoyed the warmth of this moment, the door of the cabin was kicked open, and the captain of the ship led seven or eight strong men with a board knife in his hand. Jia screamed and hid behind her husband.

Li Zhun forced his composure and shouted: "Old Wu, what are you doing, you, who are you?" The boat boss laughed and said: "Li Shaofu, you are mistaken, I am not surnamed Wu, my surname is Sang, do you remember Sang Rong of the Qing Navy, I once spent 500 yuan to beg you to buy an official." Li Zhun changed color when he heard this, and said, "You, aren't you dead?" ”

"Dead? Joke, the sea snake has nine heads, how can it die so easily? ”

"Sea, sea serpent, you are the sea serpent? You ......"

Li Zhun trembled all over, and his face turned pale. The Sea Serpent is a powerful pirate that roams the Bohai Sea, which once disappeared and re-emerged half a year ago.

This is a group of pirates, who have no intersection with the government, hate each other, and attack each other.

The town navy stationed in Dengzhou has returned from several raids in vain, and has been regarded as the number one enemy by Dengzhou.

Li Zhun has no remorse, he is a thousand precautions, but he still threw himself into the net and got into the thief ship, thinking about his more than 100 catties, thinking about thousands of furniture, thinking about the ** beautiful concubine like a flower and jade, Li Zhun can't wait to die headlong.

"Don't regret it, I know you made a mistake, come with me to Liaodong City and be my military advisor. You are a person, in addition to being greedy for money, you can still do something, Lao Tzu will take a good look at you, help you change your evil and become a talent as soon as possible. ”

This is really a pie falling from the sky, Li Zhun wanted to lie down and kowtow to Sang Rong, but unexpectedly, there was a loud noise outside the cabin, and the hull shook violently.

Li Zhun fell to the ground with his head, his buttocks hit the ground first, and he screamed in pain.

Sang Rong also staggered, but his ground was stable and he did not fall. His face changed, and he was about to ask, when a minion ran in in a panic and reported: "It's not good, boss, we are surrounded by officials and soldiers." (Dissertation College)
