Chapter 179 South Nine
The dimly lit dungeon of Hangzhou Mansion was filled with a damp and rotten smell.
In the dim light, there was silence.
Therefore, the screams coming from the torture room were particularly miserable.
On the moldy grass, he sat cross-legged sternly, and between exhaling and inhaling, his chest rose and fell slightly, as if he had entered a state of meditation.
Tao Xingchang heard Han Fangshan's screams coming out of the torture room in the distance, and he couldn't help but shiver.
In the corner of the wall was a brocade-clothed guard covered in blood, crawling there, motionless.
Occasionally, I could hear a faint ** voice coming from him, knowing that he was still alive.
However, the other people in the cell were dismissive of him, and even hated him.
It's just that he didn't survive the torture and recruited Han Fangshan, and as a result, let these people know who their leader was, and Han Fangshan was unlucky.
It has been two days since Han Fangshan was taken away, but Han Fangshan has not returned.
Obviously, Han Fangshan was afraid that he didn't explain anything.
The python tiger stood by the railing of the cell with an angry face, looking at the torture chamber with concern.
He is the only one in this life who interrogates others, who dares to interrogate them?
I didn't expect the tiger to fall in Pingyang and be bullied by dogs, and Longyou Shoal was played by shrimp.
This humiliation made the python extremely annoyed.
What's more, although he and Han Fangshan are superiors and subordinates, they are also brothers for many years, and they have had a fateful friendship, seeing Han Fangshan suffering inside, he can't wait to rush out and kill everyone here.
Yan Su leaned against the moss-covered wall, with a pretty face, extremely pale.
They haven't eaten seriously for two days, even the water is stinky, how could she, who has been pampered since childhood, ever suffered this sin?
What's more important is that Zhang Mu's whereabouts are unknown now, she is very worried, only herself, and she seems to have calmed down.
When she first came, she was really scared, but after staying here for two days, she gradually thought about it.
I used to hear old people say that if she entered the prison cell, she would lose half her life if she didn't die, and she was no longer ready to get out alive.
But she didn't see Zhang Mu when she was dying, which made her feel a little regretful in her heart.
"Yan Baihu, are you paying attention? Are we just here to die? At this moment, Tao Xingchang, who was already unable to hold his breath, asked.
Yan Yan exhaled a breath of turbidity, slowly opened his eyes and said, "The implication is that we betrayed Lord Zhang's life?" ”
Tao Xingchang couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, it's just that Zhang Mu fled for his life, and we are locked up here now, and the end will definitely not be better." It's better for us to agree to their conditions and live first. ”
The python said disdainfully: "You shut up Lao Tzu." Do you really naively think that if we testify against Master Zhang, they will let us live? Fool, these methods are all leftovers from Lao Tzu's previous play. At this time, we just need to grit our teeth, they don't have our confession, can they treat us like this? ”
"What Lord Python said makes sense, we are all Jinyi Guards, they committed suicide to us, aren't you afraid of being held accountable from above?" Another brocade guard said.
Tao Xingchang sighed and said: "With Wang Ming's means, as long as he sets up a name and kills a few of us, isn't it the same as pinching an ant to death?" ”
At that moment, the people in the cell watched the gossip and quarrel, and after a moment of effort, the noisy faces were red and the ears were red, and the tension in the cell was about to fight.
"What's the noise? Give Lao Tzu a little quieter. After a few days of not eating, you are still so energetic, I think I will starve you for a few more days! At that moment, a jailer came over and scolded angrily.
The cell fell silent for a moment.
Yan Su, who had not spoken, suddenly said faintly: "Zhang Mu will come to save us." I believe in him. ”
When everyone heard this, they fell silent, and the silence in the cell was restored.
At this time, a noise was heard from above.
Then I heard the sound of footsteps, and the head of the king's cell, who had been on his toes for the past few days, suddenly appeared, and he walked in front with a lantern.
Hunched over and leading the way with a smile on his face.
Behind him, followed by Geng Rui, followed by several officials, all hunched over, with stammering faces.
And beside Geng Rui, standing a little girl, who looked thirteen or fourteen years old, with raw fine skin and tender meat, a pair of watery eyes, with a little nervousness and expectation, followed behind Geng Rui.
These brocade guards all knew Geng Rui, and when they saw him appear, they couldn't help but turn around one by one, not wanting to see him.
Zhang Mu saved his life that day, but this person took revenge and took the lead in accusing Zhang Mu of having an affair with the bandits.
However, the python tiger recognized the delicate-skinned little guy at a glance, and it was the little county lord.
"My lord, these scum who colluded with bandits are all imprisoned here." Wang Cell Head introduced.
At this time, the terrible screams that came from the interrogation room were terrifying.
The little county lord couldn't help but lean towards Geng Rui in fear.
"Light the lamp on me, I want to see these people." Geng Rui said.
At this time, the old man hurriedly raised the lantern, and the two jailers behind him also hurriedly took the lantern, and the cell suddenly brightened up a lot.
"Isn't this the master of the horse? Why do you want to see how many of our brothers are gone? My family took his life to save you, but you bit him back. Something, I'm phew! Python Tiger said disdainfully.
"Damn, be quiet for me." As he spoke, the cell boss drew his steel knife.
Geng Rui waved his hand, coughed, and the cell leader hurriedly retreated.
"Was there ever a person named Zhang Mu here?" Geng Rui asked.
"No? The people who came back that night are all here. Locked up in the interrogation room was their leader, named Han Fangshan. Wang Cell Head introduced.
The little county lord took a closer look, it was true that Zhang Mu was not here, and the heart she had been hanging on finally landed.
Geng Rui muttered reassuringly: "Then since you are not here, the official should also go back." ”
This was said to the little county lord, the little county lord did not see Zhang Mu, and his heart was slightly relieved, but he was even more worried.
She knew she could make trouble, she could cry, but there were some things she couldn't interfere with.
After all, she grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she read some things that made her know what was involved.
originally planned to save Zhang Mu's life if he found him here, even if he couldn't change Zhang Mu's fate, at least he worked hard.
Now Zhang Mu is not here, but it makes her feel relieved.
The little county lord was just about to leave, but suddenly got up sternly and said, "Lord Geng, please stay." ”
Geng Rui slowly turned around, turned around and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Standing up sternly, he slowly bowed his waist and said, "Lord Geng, there are also friends of Lord Zhang who are being detained in this cell. I was just caught inadvertently that day, and it wasn't our Jinyi Guard's people. Please also ask the adults to be aware and let her out. ”
"Who is it?" Geng Rui asked.
Yan Yan stretched out his hand and pointed at Yan Su and said, "It's her." ”
