A gust of wind blew the eaves of the dilapidated house to the ground, breaking into several pieces, and after the strong wind passed, small raindrops fell like cow's hair.

Several boatmen pushed Fang Jinshi into the courtyard, only to see that the yard is not small, planted some trees and flowers, but no one has managed it for a long time, there is a well in the corner of the yard, and the wheels are crooked at the mouth of the well and almost want to fall into the well, a dilapidated scene.

The dead leaves on the ground were already very thick, and the drizzle rustled on the ground, as soon as Fang Jinshi entered the courtyard, a man standing in the court quickly greeted him, bowed to Fang Jinshi and said: "When the distinguished guest arrives, you will miss the welcome, forgive your sins." Politely as if he really came to greet an important guest, he straightened up, Fang Jinshi saw that he was dressed in new red clothes, and his shoes were also brand new, as if he had specially worn such clothes to greet him, it was Xue Zheng in the snow.

He looked much older at this time than when he was in Shaanxi, although he tried his best to clean up and dress himself, but he still couldn't hide the exhaustion of the past six months, one of his legs was lame, and walking was much more inconvenient than Shi Datai.

Fang Jinshi was very disgusted with such a pretentious person in his heart, obviously the two of them were already like fire and water at this time, and he couldn't wait to pounce on them and bite them twice, but he had to pretend to be very polite and polite.

Fang Jinshi ignored him and looked around, in addition to Xue Zheng in this courtyard, there were four or five strong men looking at the wind under the wall, and under the roof, there was only half of the roof left, a young man was sitting on the steps with a wooden staff in his hand, his eyes were covered with a black cloth, it was the Marquis Zhao Ziping.

He and Xue Zheng were both crippled, and they escaped death several times, all thanks to Liang Cuirong, at this time, they made a trick to capture her husband Fang Jinshi, and they would never let him go easily, so Fang Jinshi felt even heavier when he saw the two.

Zhao Ziping slowly stood up with a wooden cane in his hand and said, "Did that dog mongrel catch it?" He was blind, Fang Jinshi didn't speak, and he didn't know.

Xue Zheng walked up to him and said, "Master Hou, it's the distinguished guest who has arrived." ”

Zhao Ziping gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Then what do you have to say, I cut it with a knife, and send someone to send his dog head to the slut of the silver snake, so as to let out this evil breath in my heart." ”

Xue Zhengdao: "It's not too cheap for him, I've been thinking about it day and night for the past few days, and I'm choosing a killing method that has both flavor and hatred." ”

Zhao Ziping said: "If it is late, there will be changes, so let's kill it quickly and leave here immediately." ”

Xue Zhengdao: "Although Master Hou is relieved, he won't survive tomorrow morning." He limped to the corner of the courtyard, turned back to the two strong men who were standing, and said, "Lift this stone slab." ”

In front of him was a bluestone slab an inch thick, not too big, and two strong men listened to his order, walked over and lifted the large stone slab, and there was only some dirt and dead leaves underneath, half-unusual.

Xue Zhengdao: "Dig here." The two strong men listened to the order, went outside to get the iron rake and shovel used by the farmer and dug it up, these farm tools are all relatively new, they are definitely not discarded by the original owner here, but brought by themselves, it can be seen that this Xue is preparing for a long time, and he has thought of everything.

The two of them only dug more than a foot deep, and they shoveled a white bone, and the two stopped and didn't dare to dig again, Xue Zheng said: "Why stop, dig again!" The two did not dare to disobey the order, and after a few more gouging, they unexpectedly dug up a human skeleton.

Xue Zhengdao: "This is that Li Dutou, a few years ago, the silver snake took us here to kill him and crushed him under this stone slab, but I didn't expect that her husband would die in this same place today, from her original killing method." Then he turned back to Fang Jinshi and said coldly: "You say, is this retribution!" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Only those who do evil are called retribution, and if a good person encounters misfortune, it is a catastrophe." He tried his best to speak in a calm tone first, not to stimulate Xue Zheng first, and tried his best to calm himself down, his mind was spinning quickly, trying to find even the slightest chance to survive, but this place is in the wilderness, isolated, surrounded by enemies, and the chance is really slim.

Xue Zheng actually smiled and said to the two people: "Throw Li Dutou's bones into the well and ask him to make way for Fang Gongzi." The two strong men obeyed the order, went to clean up the white bones, lifted the wheels at the mouth of the well to the ground, and threw the bones into the dry well.

Xue Zheng said again: "Dig this pit deeper, and Fang Gongzi will be more comfortable to lie down." Then he said to Fang Jinshi: "I don't know if she told you how she executed Li Dutou, a few of us escorted Li Dutou here, brought the cold water in this well and poured it into him, and filled a big bucket, Li Dutou's nose couldn't stop bubbling outward, and his stomach was swollen like a melon, we pressed it on his belly with a stone slab, and then poured and pressed it again after a while, and Li Dutou wailed here for three days before he died." ”

Although it was drizzling at this time, it was still very cold, but Fang Jinshi's vest was still sweating when he heard such words, this Xue Zheng was going to use such words and this way to scare him, slowly breaking through his psychological limit like a cat playing with a mouse, so that he was the most proud.

Fang Jinshi gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I die today, you will definitely die ten times worse than me one day tomorrow." ”

Xue Zheng stared at him and said: "Yes, I also believe in your words, but even if I die in her hands, I will never regret it, unlike you, a dog mongrel, who married one after another, and always didn't know how good she was." Fang Jinshi couldn't answer what he said at once, no matter how bad Xue Zheng's character was, but he insisted on Liang Cuirong consistently, Fang Jinshi asked himself about this, it was not as good as him.

Xue Zheng saw that he didn't answer, and said, "Where am I not as good as you?" You are stupid and stupid, you can't do anything, you can only lie to women with rhetoric, if you are left in this world, heaven and earth will not tolerate it. ”

He was so impassioned that Fang Jinshi sneered: "I am not as ruthless as you, nor will I kill innocent people indiscriminately, let alone use any despicable and shameless means against her, it doesn't matter if heaven and earth tolerate me or not, as long as she accommodates me in her heart, it is enough." Fang Jinshi's words came out plainly, especially the last sentence, it doesn't matter if the world doesn't tolerate it, as long as Liang Cuirong tolerates him in his heart, it is enough, this sentence hits the deepest part of Xue Zheng's heart, although he is crazy, he can't earn half of the position in her heart, this is the most tragic thing about Xue Zheng.

One of the most powerful counterattacks, sometimes more striking than ten sentences and a hundred sentences, Xue Zheng suddenly rushed to Fang Jinshi like crazy, and punched him hard in the face, Fang Jinshi's hands were tied and he couldn't dodge, and after eating his punch, his cheeks burned like pain, but he looked at Xue Zheng with a smile, and the contempt in his eyes was revealed.

Xue Zheng looked at his smile, annoyed for a while, his breathing slowly calmed down, he let go of his fist, pushed Fang Jinshi, and then ignored him and walked out of the door, and then heard him scold outside the gate: "A few stone tablets have been carved for so long!" So long! Then I heard the sound of the horsewhip "horn", and then heard the wailing and begging for mercy of the two stone-chiseled stonemasons.

He actually wanted to maintain his demeanor in front of Fang Jinshi, but he went outside to find two stonemasons to vent the twisted anger in his heart.

At this time, Zhao Ziping sat far away, Xue Zheng did not return when he arrived outside the door, Shi Hu stood not far behind Fang Jinshi and yawned, Fang Jinshi saw that the opportunity was rare, and said to Shi Hu: "You are doing this just for money, right?" ”

Shi Hu raised his head and looked at him, Fang Jinshi hurriedly said: "You also know that I came to Jiangnan this time because I came to buy tea by the lord of Lord Yun, I can mobilize millions of yuan, if you save me, I will give you 100,000 yuan." ”

This 100,000 yuan is a huge number, Shi Hu can't earn so much money in his life, Bao Longtu is in charge of Kaifeng Mansion, and he is a scholar of Longtu Pavilion, less than 20,000 yuan a year, for such a large amount of money Shi Hu is difficult to keep moving, here and now, although he obeys Zhao Ziping and Xue Zheng, but with his greatest strength, as long as he is willing to turn back, the situation will turn around.

Shi Hu's expression was hesitant, neither agreeing nor speaking, Fang Jinshi heard that Xue Zheng seemed to be walking back, and hurriedly whispered: "Two hundred thousand!" Shi Hu was still silent, just lowered his head.

Xue Zheng slowly walked in from the outside, Fang Jinshi looked at his expression, the coolness in his heart rose, although he was still his mouth, but in the face of life and death, it was always difficult to be heroic, maybe it was Xue Zheng's previous psychological hints that worked.

Shi Hu waited for Xue Zheng to come closer, and suddenly said, "Just now, he paid 200,000 yuan to buy his own life." When Fang Jinshi heard his words, his heart suddenly cooled, Xue Zheng was not surprised at all, turned his head to Shi Hu and said, "Then what do you want?" ”

Shi Hu didn't say much, hurriedly walked outside the door and came in with a wooden barrel rope, tied the rope to the wooden barrel and threw it into the well to draw water, and then said to his boatmen: "Hold him down, I'll fill the water." He seemed to be afraid that this Xue Zheng would be unhappy and suspicious of him, and he wanted to show his loyalty with his own hands, and the two boatmen on the left and right stepped forward to hold down Fang Jinshi and pressed his face on the big stone next to him, Fang Jinshi was so disappointed that he almost fainted.

Xue Zhengdao: "Let's wait a little longer." He walked up to Fang Jinshi, leaned close to his face, and said in a very low voice: "I knew that you wanted to be trapped and fighting, and you were going to struggle to the death, I tell you, it's useless." ”

He patted Fang Jinshi's face when he came, and then said to the two boatmen who held him down, "Let him go." The two let go of Fang Jinshi and let him stand up, Xue Zheng said: "I'll give you another chance, this is your acquaintance, if you don't move him anymore, but there is no more chance, you just accept your fate." ”

Xue Zheng turned around and said to the door, "Come in." ”

A person walked in slowly outside the door, it was a tall and thin middle-aged man, he lowered his head, his expression was extremely depressed, and he didn't dare to look up at this side, it was Wei Chong.

When Fang Jinshi saw him, he calmed down his breath for a while, and then said slowly: "I have already guessed that it was you, but I have never figured out what you are for." ”
