Chapter 33: The Fog
The candles lit in the dim light of the narrow aisles. The sky was already bright, but the dungeon was still dark and eerie, with no sunlight or hope in sight.
Thick and weighing more than a thousand pounds, the door of the dungeon made of fine iron burst open, emitting a deafening screeching sound, like a devouring beast, slowly opening its bloody mouth, waiting for the prey to enter its mouth by itself.
Sun Junshou's right hand was wrapped like a zongzi, and he stood at the entrance of the dungeon with a dead face. Seeing that the county guard Sun came in person, the cell boss hurriedly squeezed out a smiling face, and groveled: "I don't know what happened when the county guard came in person, if the prisoner is arraigned, just send someone to inform the villain." ”
The cell leader's smile quickly condensed on his face, and a bright short knife appeared in his heart. Before the other jailer could scream, his neck was cold and his head was in a different place.
Xu Jun kicked Sun Junshou into the dungeon, and viciously closed the heavy iron door at the entrance of the dungeon. This iron door can only be opened from the inside, and people from the outside want to enter, unless there is a peerless blade that sharpens iron like clay, or simply digs a tunnel. Without Sun Junshou to lead the way, it would be difficult for Xu Jun to enter the dungeon.
"There are six jailers in the dungeon, you killed two, and there are still four. If it were you, I would never let the remaining jailers live. ”
"Young Master Ben doesn't need you to teach me how to do it, don't talk nonsense, quickly take Young Master Ben to the cell where the people of the Xu Mansion are imprisoned." Xu Jun kicked Sun Junshou out of the distance, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, this Sun Junshou seemed to be deliberately provoking him, for fear that he would let go of the remaining jailers, which was a bit strange.
However, at this time, Xu Jun didn't have so much leisure to think about other things, anyway, no matter what Sun Junshou said, these jailers would die. People are good at bullying, horses are good at riding, he has no choice at all. Even if he didn't do anything, the jailers would find a way to kill him.
"Let me out and save me, I'm wronged." From time to time, there were terrible roars in the cells on either side of the dungeon. One by one, the prisoners with their heads like evil ghosts shook the iron bars of their cells desperately, shouting at Xu Jun and Sun Junshou like madmen, which was shocking.
Sun Junshou hurriedly led Xu Jun through this cell in fear, and turned a corner: "The cell at the end of the road ahead is where the people of the Xu Mansion are held. ”
Xu Jun nodded, and on the way, two more jailers patrolled the way, came to the cell at the end of the road, pushed the door and walked in.
The disgusting smell of fishy came to his face, and Mrs. Xu, Fulai, and Xiao Qi were curled up in the corner with blood stains, and Xu Jun's blood was surging for a while, and his liver and gallbladder were splitting. He pinched Sun Junshou's neck with one hand, and suddenly lifted him into the air and said, "You dog official, you dare to hurt my family, I want your life." ”
Sun Junshou had difficulty breathing, his legs kept kicking in the air, and he struggled in horror: "Don't. Don't kill me, I still have something to say. ”
Xu Jun's eyes showed a fierce light, and after a little hesitation, he viciously threw Sun Junshou to the ground and said: "Young Master Ben will give you a chance, you, the dog official, had better not talk nonsense, otherwise Young Master Ben will definitely make you regret coming to this world." ”
Sun Junshou took a few breaths and said, "Third Young Master, you should know very well what will happen to all the prisoners who enter this dungeon. Mrs. Xu and your maid Xiaoqi are quite attractive, if they don't have the care of the lower officials, I am afraid that they will be insulted by others. Insult. Xia Guan received a lot of silver from your father, and it stands to reason that the Xu family should not be embarrassed. But the imperial court wanted to arrest the Xu family, and the fact that the officials were acting was helpless, and they had done their best. ”
Xu Jun narrowed his pupils, and the short knife he raised slowly put down. He thought to himself that although killing this dog official could give out a bad breath, it would not help. It's better to spare his life for the time being, maybe it will be useful. He said hatefully: "I'll settle accounts with you when I go back." ”
He knocked Sun Junshou unconscious with a knife hand, and hurriedly woke up Mrs. Xu and Xiao Qi who were asleep.
"Mother, Xiao Qi, you have suffered, and you blame me for coming back too late, so that you were poisoned. Wake up quickly and get out of here with me. ”
"Young master, it's young master." Xiao Qi opened his eyes in a daze, and suddenly saw Xu Jun's face, and immediately cried with joy, and threw himself on Xu Jun's shoulder and cried.
At this time, Mrs. Xu had also woken up, and only Fulai was still in a coma. Xu Jun touched Fulai's forehead and found that his forehead was hot, and the situation was quite bad.
"Jun'er, you are Jun'er." Mrs. Xu trembled and stretched out her hands and stroked Xu Jun's cheeks. Xu Jun was stunned: "Mother, your eyes? ”
"Jun'er, it doesn't matter, although my mother's eyes are blind, I can see many things more clearly, you leave quickly with Xiao Qi, don't care about my mother."
"No, we have to go together, the child will never let his mother stay here and suffer."
"Jun'er, your Uncle Fulai was seriously injured in order to protect his mother, and after coming to this dungeon, he was tortured to extract a confession, and his mother couldn't let him stay here alone. In fact, Jun'er, there is one thing that my mother has never told you, you are not my mother's biological flesh and blood. ”
"Mother, don't say it, I know that I heard the conversation between you and Fulai in the firewood room that day. I'll wake up Fulai, and we'll leave here together. ”
Xu Jun picked up Fulai and let him sit in front of him. With both hands behind Fu Lai's back, a pure Taoist aura was injected into Fu Lai's body. He doesn't know if it's useful to do this, anyway, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, and the masters in the TV series in the previous life did this.
A large amount of blood spurted out of Fu Lai's mouth, and Fu Lai trembled for a while, and his head tilted and he completely fainted. Xu Jun said speechlessly: "Uncle, the brain-dead dramas are really all lies." ”
Xu Jun did not know medical skills, and he was at a loss in the face of Fulai's injury. However, he suddenly thought of his package. When he left the Xu family, he took some pills and put them in the package, originally wanting to do it for emergencies, but he didn't expect it to come in handy at this time. He hurriedly took out the pill and gave it to Fu Lai, and briefly treated Fu Lai's wound.
"Mother, where is my father? How did Fulai get hurt, and who killed the Xu family? ”
Mrs. Xu bit her lip, her eyes were full of tears, and she thought for a while: "It starts from half a month after you left home." ”
"That evening, when I went to your father's room, I suddenly found that your father had left home and was missing, leaving only a letter to inform the old lady."
The old lady was shocked after reading the contents of the letter, and hurriedly gathered the people of the Xu family together. proposed to dissolve the Xu Mansion and let the Xu family take a sum of silver and go their separate ways. I was amazed for a moment that I wondered what was written in the letter would make the old lady, who had always been calm, so panicked. ”
At this time, a group of women in black suddenly appeared and killed people when they saw them. And most of the people in the Xu family were poisoned and couldn't move. Only me, Xiao Qi, and Fu Lai, because of their poor appetite and lack of dinner, escaped by luck. Fulai desperately entangled the man in black, was seriously injured, and fled to the street with me and Xiao Qi. ”
"What about the Epistle?" Xu Jun asked nervously.
"Your grandfather burned the letter after reading it, and no one knows what the letter is. After Fu Lai and Xiao Qi and I fled to the street, we met the fast arrest of the street patrol, so we came to the government office for temporary refuge. At first, Sun Junshou was quite enthusiastic, and vowed to send troops to arrest the murderer of the Xu family tragedy. But the next day, Sun Junshou suddenly changed his face and locked us in this dungeon. ”
Xu Jun frowned, his face changed again and again, he thought that rescuing the people alive in the Xu Mansion would get useful clues, but he didn't expect that he still had no clue. He wants to pay for it with blood, but he doesn't even know who the enemy is, so where can he take revenge?
A violent cough suddenly sounded, and Fu Lai slowly opened his eyes. Mrs. Xu hurriedly cried and threw herself in front of Fu Lai and said, "You woke up, you finally woke up, I thought I would never hear you speak again in this life, let's leave here quickly." ”
Fulai's eyes were numb, and he looked at Xu Jun and said, "You're back, it's good, you're back." ”
Xu Jun frowned, wondering how this Fulai suddenly cared so much about him. Seeing that Fulai ignored her, Mrs. Xu cried bitterly: "What's wrong with you, I know that you are very sad when Yun'er is dead, but you can't be resurrected after death." I figured it out, I promise you that I will never be separated from you again. ”
Fulai smiled bitterly twice, but unexpectedly pulled his own wound. He coughed violently, spit out two mouthfuls of blood and said, "It's late, if you had promised to go with me twenty years ago, today's qiē would not have happened." I finally got it, I finally got it. ”
Fulai muttered to himself, his expression confused, as if he had returned to the light. Xu Jun keenly sensed other information from his words, and hurriedly came to him and said, "What do you understand?" ”
Fu Lai was short of breath, as if he was making a last fight with death, and he said with difficulty: "Twenty years ago, I came to the Xu Mansion full of hatred, wanting to regain my wife and children, but I didn't know that I had fallen into Xu Zhiqiao's calculations. ”
"I thought I was extremely smart, but I never thought that Xu Zhiqiao would fall ill when he was young and fight with others, and he couldn't have children at all. He already knew that Yun'er was not his own flesh and blood, but he didn't break it, just for. ”
Fu Lai's finger pointed at Xu Jun, and his tone suddenly became sharp, showing that he was extremely excited. But a person who has been seriously injured should keep his mind calm and not be overly excited about joy and sorrow. His eyes bulged forward, and a large amount of blood poured out of his features. His body twitched, his head tilted, and his eyes closed forever.
"Uncle, don't die, what are you going to say?" Xu Jun shook Fulai's arm vigorously, but he was unable to return to the sky. He was disappointed. Sitting on the ground, his thoughts even more confused.
Blessing came and went, and went miserably in the arms of his beloved woman. His life was destined to be a tragedy. Maybe death is a relief for him, but I hope that in another world, he can live happily.
