Chapter XXVIII
In the courtyard late at night, Wang Fucai blamed himself again and again after learning that Zhao Zheng was assassinated, and those guards were chosen by him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoNow that this situation has happened, he feels deeply guilty, if it weren't for the strong mana of the little immortal, maybe he would have been poisoned.
Zhao Zheng was also a little annoyed by several assassinations, since he came to this world, in order to transcribe the books in his mobile phone, he tried to avoid fighting, but the assassinations were staged repeatedly, this time Zhao Zheng really couldn't guess who did it.
He has been in Guangdong for nearly a year, and it is impossible to provoke the Zaoyang gang last time, and he has not had any conflict of interest with others in Guangdong.
The assassination was like a dark cloud hanging over Zhao Zheng's head, and he decided to interrogate Chen Bao in person, and no matter what, he wanted to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Who sent you to kill me?"
Chen Bao was imprisoned by Zhao Zheng in the center of the courtyard, and in order to prevent his accomplices from coming to the rescue, he surrounded three layers of guards, and he couldn't get in unless he attacked it.
Zhao Zheng asked several times to no avail, and decided to let the man named Nighthawk invited by Wang Fucai interrogate.
After a while, the whip was whipped and the smell of burnt skin came.
The interrogation is still so old-fashioned, how can a creature like an assassin be asked by such inferior means, Zhao Zheng shook his head, he couldn't stand it anymore, and asked Wang Fucai to find a goat overnight.
――
"You seem to recognize me? I asked myself that I had never fought with people in this world, and I didn't know which way to offend the immortals? If you can tell me who instructed you, I guarantee you your life. ”
Zhao Zheng didn't have Chen Baogao, so he asked people to move a bench over and stand on it to keep Chen Bao's sight suppressed.
There was not the slightest anger in Chen Bao's voice: "Xiaodao Chief, you kill me, I have a rotten life, it is not a pity to die, I don't want to affect my family." ”
"You have a family to protect, and I have it, and you shouldn't threaten me with the lives of my relatives today. I know that you people will not be able to recruit ordinary torture, so today I will play some tricks for you. ”
After a while, Wang Fucai brought a goat in.
"Little Immortal, I've found a goat that I've been hungry for a few days." Wang Fucai looked curious about what Zhao Zheng was doing when he found the goat.
The bleating of the goat made Chen Bao beat the drum in his heart: "What are you going to do?" ”
Zhao Zheng smiled: "The most terrible punishment, let this goat add to your feet!" ”
Speaking of this, Chen Bao, Wang Fucai, and the guards on the side couldn't help but laugh.
"In the end, it's still a child, and I think tickling someone is the biggest punishment."
Zhao Zheng asked Chen Bao's feet to lift up in laughter, and then wiped the soles of his feet with salt water.
"The goat's tongue is rough and it has to be salted every day, and this goat has been hungry for days, and in a few moments it will lick the soles of your feet, and then slowly lick your flesh, and finally even the bones."
With a bang, the guards lost the wooden basin filled with salt water.
This criminal law makes people feel creepy when they hear it, and when everyone looks at the harmless goat again, they feel that its eyes are full of evil thoughts.
After Zhao Zheng finished speaking, he went out, he didn't want to see that miserable scene.
"Third brother. Should we report to the police first? Huang Daochang was a little worried, and the abuse of lynching was a crime in the Great Song Dynasty.
"It's all right, Master. Now that the yamen are closed, I will go to Lin'an Mansion tomorrow to report to the official. Don't worry, Master, I will find out who is going to harm us. ”

Dongqian Lake, Xiangfu Study.
"Enxiang, Chen Bao has been arrested." The black man said in a deep voice.
Shi Miyuan's pen did not pause at all, and the danqing in his pen was showing its original form, but it was confusing.
The man in black was not surprised at all, this painting, Shi Xianggong has been painting for twenty-two years, but none of them have been completed.
"Eun Xiang, aren't you afraid of ......?"
The corners of Shi Miyuan's mouth hooked: "If he is an immortal, he should be able to understand that I just want to test him, and I have no intention of harming him." Just make up for it in the future, I still have a little thin face, even if he is a fairy! Shi Miyuan didn't say anything here.
The man in black already knew what Shi Miyuan hadn't said yet, if Zhao Zheng was not an immortal, but just a Taoist priest in the rivers and lakes, as far as Xianggong was concerned, what difference would it make if he was tempted or really assassinated?
A mortal life, Shi Xianggong doesn't care. A mortal's kindness, Shi Xianggong doesn't have to care.
"I used lime powder and a dagger to subdue Chen Bao."
Shi Miyuan's pen stopped, shook his head and smiled. called: "Green Clothes"
A fresh and refined girl entered the room and called out affectionately: "Xiangye." ”
Shi Miyuan raised his head, his eyes shining brightly: "Wash the pen for me." ”
There were only these two people in the room, as if the man in black had never existed.
――
"What a man, the soles of that man's feet have been broken, and he didn't scream." After Zhao Zheng heard the guard's report, he was silent for a while and arrived at the hall again.
"Chief, I won't say it."
Zhao Zheng looked at Chen Bao's face with tears a little strangely, why did he cry?
Chen Bao looked at the young face in front of him, and couldn't help but wonder if his son would look as good as the little Taoist in front of him in the future. He didn't have the slightest idea of confessing Shi Miyuan, not only for his family in Huzhou, but also for the sake of the little Taoist in front of him.
This assassination made him understand that Zhao Zheng was a mortal after all, although it was just a temptation, but there must be a gap between that little Taoist and Shi Xianggong, and Shi Xianggong, who was generous and gentle in front of the person, and had the style of an elder, was obviously vulnerable to the young Zhao Zheng.
If it weren't for the famine that year, he wouldn't have become someone else's eagle dog in order to have a full meal, life and death were trampled on, if the rumored fairy melon, fairy beans really have what the court said.
Most of it is bragging, in order to appease the people, in order to give a hope to the people of the Great Song Dynasty who are suffering from the pressure of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, that little Taoist is a mortal after all, otherwise why was he not killed by the thunder at home today, and he would not have been forced to ask me who was behind the scenes. Don't all immortals know how to pinch their fingers?
Since they are not immortals, are fairy beans and fairy melons real?
"Xiaodao Chief, I want to ask you, I am a dying person, and I hope you will answer truthfully, is the fairy bean fairy melon real?"
Zhao Zheng didn't expect that Chen Bao would ask this question at this time.
Why not? Nearly 200 acres have been planted in Guangdong. ”
"But you are a mortal after all, how can that kind of thing with a yield of two thousand catties per mu be obtained out of thin air? Don't lie to me! Chen Bao's expression suddenly became excited, and he stared at Zhao Zheng viciously, as if he wanted to get a positive answer from Zhao Zheng.
It was only at this time that Zhao Zheng deeply understood how important food was to the people of this world, which was almost a spiritual totem: "As long as you tell me who is behind the scenes?" I will be able to let you live to see the fairy melon, the day when the fairy bean is popular in the world, the people of the Great Song Dynasty will no longer be disturbed by hunger and cold. ”
"Really?"
"Really, I also want to ask you a question, you are an assassin, why do you care about fairy melons and fairy beans? You shouldn't worry about food and clothing. ”
Chen Bao didn't answer, he swore that he wouldn't speak again.
Zhao Zheng stared at Chen Bao, trying to find out the answer from his eyes, and he said his question: "Now that I think about it, today's assassination is also very strange, you obviously have the advantage in the end, my master and brother are all in your hands, and you actually left without mentioning any conditions." And you are like an outcast, abandoned by yourself at will, you should be their leader, why do you want to let them go? At that time, if you offered to exchange yourself for my master and brother, I would have agreed. ”
Chen Bao listened to Zhao Zheng's words, and his heart was full of bitterness, Shi Miyuan already doubted him, for Shi Miyuan, doubt does not need evidence, doubt is enough. Rather than wait until the day he was executed, it would be better to die in the mission, so that his family might still be cared for.
"You're supposed to be a family man, right? The innermost piece of your dress has poor needlework skills, and the material of your outer clothes is very different, so it should have been given to you by your woman! ”
"What do you want to say?"
"I want to say that my life is very important, it is very important for the entire Great Song Dynasty, if one day I die in an accident, the Great Song Dynasty will fall into darkness, and the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species is not an empty word. On the contrary, if I can live well in this world, the Great Song Dynasty will no longer have hunger and cold, everyone will have their own land, the old will have support, and the young will have care. For my own sake, for the sake of the world, I don't want anyone to plot against me behind my back. ”
Hearing this, Chen Bao smiled, and his tears almost burst out of his eyes: "Xiaodao Chief, do you really say this big thing?" Do you still think that you are really a god descending to earth, and a saint is reborn? You can't afford to mess with that person! ”
Hearing this, Zhao Zheng smiled confidently: "I see!" I won't kill you, I'll ask you again in two days, at that time I was very curious about who in this world I couldn't afford to provoke Zhao Zheng! I hope you can answer at that time. ”
――
Out of the house, Zhao Zheng found that the zodiac chief was outside the door.
The face of the zodiac chief was as calm as water, and the moonlight tonight was very beautiful, but the moonlight could not be seen on the face of the zodiac chief.
"Third brother, do you say that's true?"
Zhao Zheng was stunned and understood what the master asked: "Of course it's fake, I'm not an immortal, that can keep the world from suffering from hunger and cold, but it's just to let him recruit it." ”
"Third brother, how do you know that method?" As for the torture of the goat's feet, the zodiac still does not believe that his beloved disciple came up with it, and he does not want his land to be the kind of insidious and ruthless people.
"In Guangdong, I saw Brother Sun interrogating those prisoners with this kind of punishment."
Huang Daochang was silent for a while: "San Lang, I believe you!" ”
Zhao Zheng heard the zodiac chief call him by his nickname, and his heart was moved for no reason. From the time in time to the present, to say how seamless the lies made up so far are It is a nonsense, despite all the doubts, the zodiac still chooses to believe, unconditionally believe.
The capital is a whirlpool, and Zhao Zheng doesn't want to implicate the master and them.
The person he couldn't provoke, Zhao Zheng once again remembered Chen Bao's words, and after being silent for a while, he took out the key in his arms: "Master, if something happens the day after tomorrow, you can open the boxes I put in Zaoyang and Guangzhou." ”
If an accident does happen, those things will be his last kindness to the world.
"Give it to Da Lang and Erlang, and the day after tomorrow I will accompany you on the hot air balloon you said! There is a teacher to take care of everything. ”
