When the gate was opened, everyone was stunned, along a long road, the yard exuded a gloomy atmosphere, a wall of light to the door to the door to shine in the sunlight tightly sealed, careful people at a glance only to find that this wall and ordinary people's wall is a little different, the reason is that the wall of the Xiao family's house is particularly tall and wide, standing at the gate, there is no mirror in the courtyard at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Chang led the way first, the two rows of forbidden troops rushed in, the wings of the wild goose scattered, and the courtyard immediately sounded the sound of exclamations and staggered blades, obviously there were house slaves guarding the courtyard in this courtyard, but these voices disappeared in a moment, Zhang Chang went and returned: "Lord Wang, please come in." ”

Under the leadership of Yang Ke, Wen Yang, Tang Zhong, and Honggu walked into the compound under the escort of the forbidden army in the rear, followed by Luoyang Ling and Xiao Shi, as well as the officials under Luoyang.

When everyone stepped into this courtyard, they were shocked again, the scene in the courtyard made everyone silent, Rao is a veteran of the battlefield like Wenyang, who has been through a hundred battles and rolled in the pile of dead people, couldn't help but gasp.

From the outside, it seems to be a deep house compound of a large family, and when you walk in, you find that this is a reformed prison, even worse than a prison, it is simply a hell on earth.

There were four or five wooden cages scattered under the courtyard walls, not much larger than dog cages, and the cages were densely packed with people, as many as a dozen people, and I really don't know how they were stuffed in. The people crowded inside couldn't straighten their bodies at all, or curled up in a ball, or sat on their knees, their heads couldn't be raised, their clothes were ragged, and some of them were still bloodstained, all of them had a pair of empty eyes, numbly looking at these strangers pouring in, none of them spoke, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive, like a walking corpse.

"These cages specially set up by Xiao San are used to punish those slaves who do not obey the control, and they also have a special elegant name, called Siguo Cage, and the people who stay in the cage can still shout and shout when they just enter, less than half a day's effort, the blood in the body is not alive, the meridians are blocked, and the limbs cannot be stretched, at that time, life is better than death, and even the strength to speak is gone. No matter if you are a man cast from steel to iron, no one will survive ten days, and there are not hundreds of people who have died in this cage, but dozens of people. ”

Yang Ke raised his eyes and glanced around, only to see that the original main room and side rooms in the courtyard had all been transformed into prisons, the windows were sealed, the doors were replaced with iron prison doors, and the iron bars with thick arms separated the inside and outside of the door into two worlds.

You can smell a pungent putrid smell from afar in the prison, and there are countless human heads lying on the iron door, some old, some young, some men, some women, and even swaddling babies in their arms, so many detained slaves in the courtyard, there is not even a little sound, there is no fear in the eyes of these people, there is no hope, just like a group of ghosts living in the yang world, silently looking at Yang Ke and others.

In the middle of the courtyard were rows of large wooden stakes, on which hung not only the heads of the fugitive couple, but also several suspended corpses, and the hands and feet were all nailed to the wooden stakes with thick iron wedges, and the hideous and terrifying expressions on their faces could be imagined what kind of torture they had suffered and what kind of pain they had endured before they died.

Seeing the guards who were driven together by the forbidden army and squatted next to the wall, Honggu's anger was completely irrepressible. She has followed her father and brother for a long time since she was a child, and she is used to licking blood with knives, and she has killed people herself, but when she saw this scene, she felt that her three views were ruined. People in the rivers and lakes kill people for interests and grievances, but they will not humiliate people, and the Xiao family's compound where slaves are held simply reflects the perversion in Xiao San's heart, in front of so many slaves, even including some children, torture slaves, and even torture them in every way, just afraid that they will drive people crazy.

Honggu waved the horsewhip in her hand, and fell down on the nurses squatting in the corner, causing these nurses to wail and roll all over the ground. Honggu's martial arts are strong, coupled with the strength of her heart, as soon as her whip goes, the skin and flesh of the middle person are immediately opened, and blood is splashed everywhere.

"You bastards, you beasts, pigs, dogs, and beasts........" Honggu scolded endlessly, and the whip rained down, these guards wanted to scatter and flee, and the soldiers who were surrounded kicked back to the root of the wall one after another, none of the soldiers present stopped and opened their mouths to dissuade, even the leader of the forbidden army was silent, only felt that every whip of Honggu went down, the resentment in his heart was reduced.

Seeing these evil slaves being beaten to the ground one by one, the miserable howls gradually became weaker and weaker, and suddenly, I don't know who shouted "good ......" Then two people, three people, a group of people, and finally the slaves who were originally numb and silent in the entire courtyard broke out into a roar and cheers, and the sound was higher and higher, as if to confide all their grievances and humiliations at this moment.

Yang Ke turned his head and asked Xiao Shidao beside him lightly: "You are the Gong Cao who governs Nanshi, right?" Didn't you ever know what Xiao San did? ”

Xiao Shi trembled like chaff, bowed his body and whispered: "Your ..... lord, the lower officials really don't know ......."

Yang Ke turned around, didn't want to say a word lazily, waved his hand, and the wolf-like forbidden army around him pounced, set up Xiao Shi, who was soft, and dragged it down. Xiao Shi was still in a hurry and shouted: "Let Lord Yin save me, let Lord Yin save me, I am not guilty........"

That made Yin over fifty years old, a typical scholar's appearance, Confucian shirts and scarves, sweating profusely, bowed down to Yang Ke and said: "The prince forgives the sins, and please ask the prince to forgive the sins." ”

Yang Ke didn't reply: "What is Lord Yin's crime?" ”

"The subordinate officials are not strict under the rule, the inspection is not effective, there are such filthy officials in the yamen, they are in cahoots with Xiao San, abuse lynching, confining slaves, and the lower officials ask the prince for guilt."

Yang Ke glanced at the trembling Ling Yin: "Hu He, the character Xiujie, born in a poor family, when he was young, his family was poor, his mother was filial piety, he was promoted to filial piety by the inspection, he entered the office at the age of twenty, and he worked hard for more than 30 years to become the parent official of Gyeonggi, which is not easy." If the lord wants to intercede for that Xiao Shi just now, even if you are an official, this king also knows that Lord Hu, you are usually quite diligent and have no bad deeds, but there is such a big case under your rule, how many lives are there? Speaking of this, Yang Ke paused slightly.

Zhang Chang interjected at the right time: "There are more than 60 lives in the ironclad evidence. ”

Yang Ke continued: "That's more than sixty lives, all of them are looking at you in the underworld......

This sentence made Hu He Jiling shiver, looking at the corpse and human head nailed to the stake in front of him, he seemed to really feel a chill coming.

"So Master Hu......" Yang Ke asked casually, "Are you beaten or punished?" ”
