Chapter 22: The Disaster of Prison
When Xun Gang woke up again, he was already in a luxurious room. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Jade box, glazed tile, golden wall, pearl couch. This seems to be the most appropriate description of such a huge temple. Xun Gang, who was accustomed to living in a bamboo house, suddenly lay in such a place, and he only felt uncomfortable.
"Where have I been?" Xun Gang struggled to support his body, and the short-term blood coagulation made him feel that his head was very painful, as if it was about to explode.
By the way, I let the room out by myself, I got wet from the rain and had a fever, if that's the case......
"Yuan Zhi? Yuan straight! Xun Gang shouted aimlessly in the house, where did Xu Shu, who had been by his side, go?
"Xun Gang, are you awake?"
A gentle voice slowly sounded behind Xun Gang, making people feel crispy and numb. Xun Gang turned around, it turned out to be an ordinary maidservant, but she looked very gorgeous. The ordinary fairy skirt she wears makes people feel that the maids of this big family also love beauty.
"Was it your master who saved me?"
"Yes." The slave was stunned for a moment, a non-obvious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then replied very mechanically.
Xun Gang looked at this hall, and at first glance, he didn't feel like an ordinary person, and asked, "Who is the master of your family?" ”
"Yes...... the maid hesitated slightly, "the master is the general of the dynasty." ”
It turned out to be He Jin, no wonder the decoration of this place is so familiar, and there is a similar decoration in the front hall where I went before.
"How long have I been unconscious?"
"Roughly speaking, exactly two days."
It's been two days...... Time flies. In this era of lack of medical facilities, it is fortunate that you don't die of a high fever. Fortunately, he can get the best treatment by being the backer.
"What about the generals?"
"The general and the officials are deliberating, and when the discussion is over, they will come here to visit the prince."
This He Jin is quite good at winning people's hearts...... Xun Gang's mind moved slightly, and he asked again: "What about the servants who were with me before?" You know, it's supposed to be in your twenties......"
"The one Childe said brought you to the house two days ago, and now he is in the backyard to reflect on it...... By the way, there seems to be a beautiful woman who goes all the way with him. ”
This Xu Shu actually thought about it...... Xun Gang smiled bitterly and asked, "He volunteered?" ”
"No, it's the general, he ......"
Xun Gang's eyes changed.
With a gloomy face, Xun Gang came to the backyard. Under the leadership of the maidservant, Xun Gang crossed a small bridge, drilled through two pavilions, and came to a small place similar to an island in the middle of a lake. There is also a small plaque in front of the island, writing the words "Afterlife Island", like a blood seal, Xun Gang was frightened when he saw it.
"What is an afterlife?" Xun Gang asked the maidservant, his voice was very low and deep, it was really frightening to think that such a tone came from a three-year-old child.
The maidservant didn't care, and replied softly: "In the general's opinion, if you can withstand the polishing here, it is a new life, if not, you will be reborn after death, and it will also be a new life, so it is called the island of the next life." ”
"What a fucking afterlife! Isn't that the place where torture is used? Lao Tzu's servant, it's not the turn of the general to teach me a lesson! ”
Xun Gang rushed in angrily, and before even the soldiers guarding outside could react, Xun Gang entered the house in the middle of the island.
There were also two soldiers in the house, their reaction was much faster, and they immediately blocked the front, one of them smiled at Xun Gang and said: "Where did the wild hairy boy come from, dare to trespass on the important land of the General's Mansion?" ”
"Hugh is rude!" The previous slave hurriedly followed, her red lips slightly opened, and she panted slightly, "This is a distinguished guest who is personally taken care of by the general, and I heard that his subordinates are here, so I came here!" ”
"The general takes care of it personally?" The two soldiers were stunned for a moment, and one of them suddenly realized, took Xun Gang's little hand with great interest, and said eagerly: "This is Xun Gang's son!" I've also guarded the door for you! Your servant is one level below, and I'll take you there later...... Hehe, Xun Gongzi, please help me in front of the general...... Xun Gongzi! Don't go! Wait for me! I'm not done yet! ”
Where does Xun Gang have the leisure to listen to him here? Every second he delays, Xu Shu has to suffer one more second, how can he endure the torment in his heart?
I have a fever, and it has nothing to do with Xu Shu, it's all my fault!
"Hey, don't look at the age of this kid, his temper is actually bigger than that of the general!" The soldier who had hit the wall before sarcastically said, "If you are a little older, won't you have to go to heaven?" ”
"You'd better keep your mouth shut!" As soon as Xun Gang left, the maid's eyes immediately became indifferent, and her words seemed to be carrying a knife, "If these words reach the general, you know what kind of consequences you will be." Distinguished guest of the general, be careful to stay down there yourself! ”
The soldier stopped talking.
Even such a cell in the General's Mansion was built to a huge size, and it was bottomless from the stairs down. It may be that the prisoner is assigned according to his rank. The lowest is on the first floor, and it seems that Xu Shu is on this floor; If those who are heinous in their crimes and try to rebel, they may be at the bottom layer.
However, He Jin's actions obviously violated the king's law. The abuse of lynching and the detention of prisoners were never allowed in the Han Dynasty; But who dares to say that he is high and powerful?
The wooden ladder "squeak, squeak" sounded, and every time Xun Gang went down, his mood was extremely heavy; I don't know if the designer deliberately designed it this way to suppress the fragile mind of the prisoner.
The breath of blood gradually diffused in this space, and occasionally one or two screams would be heard underground; Xun Gang didn't know if anyone in it was wronged, but even if there were, he was helpless. He could only silently step on the plank on the ground floor, and walk forward with his instincts.
This floor is not very large, and each prisoner has a separate cell allocation; The wooden beams on the cells are still very new, and it seems that the building has not been built for long. Xun Gang soon saw the two men and women in the cell at the end.
Xun Gang rushed over, it was Xu Shu and Dou E. The appearance of the two is very miserable, Xu Shu is the most pitiful, his buttocks are full of blood, and he has been dry for I don't know how long; His body trembled slightly, perhaps because of the hunger and thirst of the past few days, which had made him no longer strong. Dou E didn't even dare to look at Xu Shu with a straight eye, and the two of them knelt facing the wall inside, their breath was low.
There was a soldier standing outside the prison, and he didn't care about Xun Gang's arrival, anyway, the door was closed, what else could this kid do?
But I didn't look for him, but I didn't expect Xun Gang to find him instead. Xun Gang's eyes were red, and he yelled at the soldier, "Open the door for me!" ”
What? Talking to me? The soldier looked at the wild hairy boy who came from nowhere in disbelief in disbelief, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "If you don't have the general's seal, don't let him go!" ”
"I'm the master of the two of them, why am I not qualified to ask you to release them!" Xun Gang roared again, "Even if the general is here, he won't be so arrogant and unreasonable!" ”
Big brother, I'm just a good businessman...... The soldier wanted to cry without tears, but he still strongly refused Xun Gang's request.
The soldier didn't listen to his own words, and Xun Gang had no choice but to shout into the prison: "Yuan Zhi! Xu Yuanzhi! ”
After not entering the rice water for two days, Xu Shu's ears were about to become deaf, and he was forced to kneel for so long, and he had already lost consciousness with his thighs down; Suddenly, I heard someone outside shouting at him, although it was hazy, Xu Shu still turned around with difficulty.
"Childe ......" Xu Shu's expression was numb, although Xun Gang woke up and surprised him, but the torture for many days had already made him miserable, his brain was paralyzed, and he couldn't make any expressions.
Xun Gang saw that Xu Shu still had a reaction, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said to him: "You sit down first, let Dou E also sit down, you have suffered a lot over the past few days......
"Thanks to Gongzi's concern, compared with Gongzi, what is the ...... of suffering in the lower parts," Xu Shu replied weakly, "What's more, it was the general's order to let me kneel here." The general won't let him get up, and he won't dare to get up when he gets down......"
"Presumptuous!" Xun Gang shouted, "You are my servant, not the general!" If I get you up, you have to get up for me! If I tell you to sit down, you'll have to sit down for me! ”
"This boy, I don't care what your relationship is with that prisoner......," the soldier on the side said slowly, "but it is the general's will to let him kneel down and think about it, and I hope you don't make trouble!" ”
The words were very ruthless, but Xun Gang was not afraid at all, he laughed cruelly, and said to the man: "If it weren't for him, I would have died on the street!" I don't blame the general for not knowing right and wrong, but I, as his master, let him sit down now, do you dare to listen? ”
"I only listen to the general, why should I listen to you?" The soldiers did not back down in the slightest.
"You!" Xun Gang was angry and shouted at the woman in the prison: "Dou E! If you and Xu Shu succeed, then you are also my servant, how dare you not listen to my dispatch? ”
"Xun Gongzi's words, the slave family doesn't dare to disobey ......" Dou E said weakly, but he didn't turn his head, "The general said that only when he brings you here, can the two of us get up." Although Childe has arrived now, the general is not here, and the two of us still dare not get up. ”
"You...... Why are you two digging like this? Xun Gang stomped his feet angrily, but this appearance seemed very cute in front of a three-year-old child, even though the current atmosphere was very serious, "The general is still deliberating, do I still want to interrupt his meeting?" ”
"How does Xun Gongzi do it, the slave family does not dare to interfere...... But the slave family and Lang Jun committed a sin, and let the son suffer from illness and almost suffer, so let my husband and wife think about it for a while, what's the matter? ”
It seems that these two people have become ...... No, no, what am I looking at?
This soldier and these two people didn't listen to their own words, and Xun Gang felt so powerless for the first time. Seeing that the two of them had already knelt on their bloody knees, Xu Shu's hind buttocks didn't know how many beatings they had received, how could Xun Gang still bear to let the two of them continue to kneel?
What to do?
"Open the door."
Behind Xun Gang, a crispy and numb female voice suddenly sounded......
