Chapter 206, the height of the temple
When Xun Shuang came to his senses again, he only felt a piercing pain all over his body.
I don't know how long it took for him to be able to barely move his hand, he opened his eyes, looked at his body, and smiled bitterly, but it seemed to be a wound somewhere, and the pain made him breathe in cold air.
Hard mouth, not afraid of death, does not mean that he will not be in pain, but there is a belief in his heart to support, every time he can't help but want to bow to reality, there seems to be a surge of strength in his body, and there is a voice to tell himself: Don't be afraid, your persistence is meaningful.
Xun Shuang is just a literati after all, and he is also an old man, with his current body and bones, he really can't stand much toss, but obviously no one will pity him here, even if the evidence against him is not sufficient at this time, it does not prevent them from torturing him, but he always gritted his teeth and did not let go of his mouth, this is not that he insists on refusing to admit it, but he knows that his confession will only bring more severe consequences, and may implicate many people. In order for Dahan to maintain enough strength, he can only hold on.
At this moment, he sat up slowly and with difficulty with his hands behind him, and then leaned against the wall of this prison, the cold wall almost directly irritated his skin through the thin clothes on his back, giving him enough stimulation to wake his mind, and at the same time keeping him awake and not fainting again.
This is the dungeon where he is imprisoned, belonging to the Tingwei Mansion, that is, under the rule of Li Ru, this prison looks eerie and terrifying, if a psychologically fragile person just lives in this environment, it will inevitably collapse, but Xun Shuang's physical pain at this time stimulates him from time to time, making him idiot and clear.
And his gaze was fixed not far away, which was next door to him.
The place where he "lives" next door is actually Shi Sun Rui, his appearance looks even worse than Xun Shuang, not to mention the bruises all over his body, and his face is still unusually swollen. Those who are not familiar with it may not recognize it at first glance, this is the high-spirited scholar and servant shooter Sun Junrong. It's hard to imagine what kind of torture he was subjected to.
"Sikong ......" Shi Sun Rui also saw him, his eyelids didn't open much, but he could still see clearly, but every word he said seemed very difficult, and after the salutation, there was a burst of confused words, and Xun Shuang couldn't hear it clearly at all.
"Needless to say, I know everything......" After speaking, Xun Shuang smiled bitterly. In comparison, I am really good, at least I can express it clearly.
Although Xun Shuang was also punished, it was trivial compared to Shi Sun Rui, after all, Shi Sun Rui directly led the troops into Luoyang City, wanting to do something subversive.
This time, the list of arrests by the Tingwei Mansion was included in Sikong Xun Shuang, Shang Shufu Shooter Sun Rui, Guanglu Doctor Ma Riyan and others. Even Henan Yin Zhujun was a little implicated, why? Just because in addition to Henan Yin, there is also a city gate captain in his official position, and this city gate captain is the Jinmen of the south city of Luoyang, that is, the city gate that Doctor Guanglu led thousands of soldiers to break into on the day of the incident, although there is some evidence that Zhu Jun himself should have nothing to do with this matter, after all, Shi Sun Rui and they were seized the city gate at that time, and Zhu Jun's soldiers who defended the city except for Shi Sun Rui should have all been destroyed, but Zhu Jun also had a charge similar to dereliction of duty that was ineffective in protecting the city. Small punishments and big commandments are always inevitable. Although he was not arrested, he was dismissed from his official position as the captain of the city gate.
However, more people are because of Xun Shuang's stubbornness. For the time being, they have not been implicated, but if Dong Zhuo and the others really want to arrest people, the so-called evidence will not stop anything at all.
And Ma Riyan, who was also arrested with Xun Shuang and was tortured almost at the same time, was also in this dungeon, but he was separated from them a few rooms and couldn't communicate.
Xun Shuang sighed, he is now more worried about the future of the Han Dynasty, he only hopes that his failure this time will not affect future generations, but can provide them with some lessons and become their guiding light, Xun Shuang always believes that Dong Zhuo's hegemony cannot last long, and there will come a day, but it is a pity that he can't see it that day.
"Open the door......" Hearing this voice in his ears, Xun Shuang couldn't help but be stunned, he heard it.
This voice turned out to be Dong Zhuo!
How did he come here? This was the first thought that popped into Xun Shuang's mind, he looked back at Shi Sun Rui, and his eyes also showed incomprehension.
However, they were puzzled, but they couldn't stop the footsteps from getting louder and louder, and the distance was getting closer and closer, and finally a few figures appeared in front of them, and the middle-aged man who was bloated and walking slowly was not Dong Zhuo.
Xun Shuang and Shi Sun Rui have been locked up here since they were arrested last night, and they have been tortured continuously during this period, so naturally they don't know about Dong Zhuo's so-called assassination last night, otherwise they will definitely feel strange.
However, Dong Zhuo's appearance here shows that he doesn't mind letting people see that he is fine, after all, he has not covered up all the way, and he will convene a court meeting later, and he will inevitably appear in front of many people, so it is impossible to say that he is injured.
The reason why this is so is because Dong Zhuo has given up Li Ru's plan to pretend to be injured, he feels that he can't pretend to be able to go on at this time, and there is no point in pretending to be any longer, after all, this qiē is a trap set up for Lu Bu, but now Lu Bu is no longer in Luoyang City, and what happened so far last night shows that Lu Bu may have seen through his scheme, so what is the use of this qiē?
Dong Zhuo is not that patient person, no matter how Li Ru persuades, he must come out and announce to the world that he Dong Zhuo's existence is in the past, as for the previous assassination, it is completely regarded as the past, and other people's speculations have nothing to do with him, he just wants to see Lu Bu kneel in front of him and beg for mercy now.
Of course, before that he could do so, he had to deal with the others, who had been annoying him since he became the ruler of Luoyang, and he couldn't stand it anymore today.
When he came to this prison, he stood outside Xun Shuang's prison, seeing his appearance, and thinking of the demeanor that always made him hate and jealous when he saw him, he actually laughed.
Xun Shuang also laughed, but Dong Zhuo could laugh by himself, how could this prisoner of his own rank laugh, he only deserved to kneel and beg for mercy in front of him, so he suddenly stopped laughing, and said viciously at Xun Shuang: "Why are you laughing?" ”
"And what are you laughing at?"
"A certain laugh at you living in the temple, but you don't know the so-called current affairs, the one who knows the current affairs is Junjie, and now the Han is in charge of me Dong Zhuo, you don't want to be loyal to me, but you want to do something rebellious, it's really a crime."
"What are you? The Han Dynasty has lasted for 400 years, and now the country is still there, how can you wait for the clown to jump off the beam and subvert it? I only hate that if I am young today, and the strength of my ministers is not good, I have to make you arrogant and arrogant, and you will have power and bad governance, but you are afraid that time is running out, as long as you can wait for the Son of Heaven to grow up in the future, and you can have the help of the ministers to assist you, I will teach you that this national thief will not die well! ”
Dong Zhuo became more and more angry when he heard this, and in the end, after Xun Shuang finished speaking, he was already trembling with anger, pointing at Xun Shuang and scolding angrily: "It's a bastard, talking nonsense, I don't know what ...... called"
"Humph!" Xun Shuang felt that this scolding was really hearty, and his long-held mood was released, he snorted and continued: "In the past, there were ten permanent eunuchs who set up chaos in the court and confuse the Son of Heaven, and now you Dong Zhuoguo thief has power and polluted the temple, and I only hate the sky and will not let you die early......"
Dong Zhuo couldn't hear it, Xun Shuang was comparing himself with the group of eggless servants of the Ten Standing Servants, although he had been in the middle of the general He Jin and Zhang Rang in order to be promoted, but in his heart he looked down on Zhang Rang and his ilk, Xun Shuang's comparison was a humiliation to him, and he said angrily: "You are really not afraid of death? ”
Xun Shuang only felt that he was full of strength at this moment, straightened his chest and said in a deep voice: "If you can die for the big man, you will have no regrets even if you die." ”
Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "That's good, so-and-so will fulfill you." Come on......"
"Xiangguo, please command......" A few jailers immediately walked out of the left and right, bowed behind Dong Zhuo and whispered.
Dong Zhuo said word for word: "Give this so-called Han Zhongliang to a certain person, take him down and behead him." ”
At this time, Li Ru was not by Dong Zhuo's side, otherwise he would have to come out to stop him, but unfortunately these people around him would only act at Dong Zhuo's orders.
"Whoa." Suddenly, the jailers jumped up like wolves and tigers to tie Xun Shuang up and push him out, Xun Shuang didn't struggle, but the scolding in his mouth didn't stop: "Dong thief, if you kill me today, someone will avenge me tomorrow, you don't want to live in peace, the people of the world can't spare you, the righteous people of the Han Dynasty can't spare you, you won't die well......"
The voice had faded away, Dong Zhuo waved his hand in annoyance, and then walked to Shisun Rui's cage, he wanted to finish them out one by one.
At the same time, Xun Shuang had been taken by those jailers to the execution place behind the dungeon, this was a large open space, Xun Shuang wanted to stand up straight, but his weak body couldn't hold it at all, and he was pressed to the ground alive, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "Is it really my big man?" ”
There was a sudden sadness in his heart, two lines of tears fell from his eyes, and his body trembled, but not for the imminent death, but for the Han family whose future was uncertain.
"Of course it's not ......" The sudden voice made Xun Shuang stunned, he looked back, his eyes blurred by tears could still see that the one who spoke was one of the men who was sent by Dong Zhuo to behead him, he was standing behind Xun Shuang's left, seeing that he was looking at him, he also smiled at himself, laughing so much that Xun Shuang was confused.
Then I saw him leaning into Xun Shuang's ear, and said in a low voice: "Sikong doesn't have to be confused, it was Wen Hou who asked the little one to come, and he will offend him later, but I'm afraid I have to ask Sikong to cooperate well......" (to be continued.) )
