Volume 2 Half Landscape, Half Fate 127 Torture
Seeing that the assassin had a hard mouth, Li Shengjie remembered the method that He'er had taught him, and used a poison dart to make a hole in the assassin's feet. Sure enough, the assassin was also poisoned, and because Li Shengjie's hand was heavy, the knife wound was deep, and the assassin's poison was much deeper, and the injured part rotted and suppurated in the blink of an eye.
Rao was so, but the assassin remained silent, insisting that there was no cure for the poison.
Li Shengjie was helpless, and he was afraid that the assassin would die and would never be able to find a way to detoxify, so he had to borrow a little antidote medicine from Wen Lingjiao, and first used it to stabilize the injury.
On the other hand, Qiu Yizhi was all caused by himself because of this incident in the final analysis, so he was also very concerned about Li Zhi's injury, in addition to daily visits, he also sent people to search for famous doctors in Mingzhou Mansion despite the danger of sporadic robberies and rebellion.
Lin Shuhan is famous among scholars in Jiangnan, and the doctor is also a scholar, so there are not a few famous doctors he knows. He was originally very arrogant and arrogant, and never asked for help, but now he finally put down his shelf and personally wrote a letter to invite a well-known doctor in Jinling City to come to Mingzhou for consultation.
The dignified "Mr. Bansong's" handwritten letter is much more precious than the medical fee of dozens of taels of silver, and those doctors received his letter, and rushed to the consultation without saying a word, one by one full of confidence, thinking that they could show their hands in front of "Mr. Bansong" and earn some face, and their fame will inevitably flourish, and the future consultation fee may naturally turn a few heels.
However, they were all dumbfounded after seeing Li Zhi's injury, such a poison has never been seen or heard of in China, and it is useless to search through medical books, so they can only deduce the composition of the poison through the injury.
However, when they reversed the course, they insisted on their own words, some said that opium was used, some said arsenic, and some said castor.
Under such circumstances, Li Shengjie did not dare to try the prescription prescribed by any doctor easily - you know, these doctors themselves are not sure, how can they convince patients?
However, there is no other better way at the moment, so I have to let these doctors prescribe their own prescriptions and send them to Lin Shuhan, who is full of poetry and books, and Lin Shuhan, who is quite knowledgeable about medicine, will decide.
However, Lin Shuhan looked at twenty or thirty prescriptions before and after, but none of them felt that they could be used: some of the prescriptions were plagiarized from medical books in their original form, and he couldn't say half a word when asked about the reason for prescribing them; Some use some tepid herbs such as mint, licorice, and wolfberry, although they can't cure people, they can't cure diseases; Some people think of fighting poison with poison, and they use the medicine of tigers and wolves, even if a normal person eats it, he will get seriously ill!
Such a medicine, no matter which one it is, cannot be given to Li Zhi under any circumstances - this is both common sense and the consensus of everyone.
However, the only thing that was effective for Li Zhi's injury was Wen Lingjiao's bottle of elixir. But Gu Erniang, who was equipped with this bottle of antidote, was already dead, and the antidote could only control the condition and alleviate the pain, and it would be less than one drop with one drop, and sooner or later it would be used up.
Thinking of this, Li Shengjie became more and more anxious, and he simply became anxious, all kinds of torture that he could think of, what he couldn't think of, what he had heard of and what he hadn't heard of, all of which were applied to the assassin. For two or three days, the assassin had been beaten so that he had no good skin on his body, but he still clenched his teeth and did not give in.
When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he suddenly remembered that when he was in the capital, He'er tortured a eunuch who was also hard-boned and used an extremely powerful medicine, and the eunuch immediately succumbed.
So Qiu Yizhi hurriedly ran to Wen Lingjiao's house, wanting to ask He'er for the bottle of potion, but she was afraid that He'er, a brutal girl, would embarrass herself, so she prepared a cart of good words in her stomach, in case He'er set up a shelf, it would be good to flatter.
Unexpectedly, He'er agreed happily this time, and after seeing Wen Lingjiao nodding in agreement, she rummaged through her belongings, took out a familiar glass bottle, and urged Qiu Yi to lead the way.
In order to prevent the assassin from the Japanese kingdom from escaping, Li Shengjie set up the room where he was tortured in a corner of the bilge of the big ship, and Qiu Yizhi walked with He'er for a long time before coming to this dimly lit room. The two pushed the door in, and sure enough, they saw that Li Shengjie was still interrogating the assassin.
Li Shengjie tortured for several days, the assassin still did not give in, he had exhausted the patience of the young ship owner, he sat in the chair with his head drooped and looked very tired and disappointed, and suddenly saw Qiu Yizhi coming, only then did he lift his spirits a little, and got up and greeted: "Why is Lord Qiu here?" Alas! This assassin still doesn't move! ”
Qiu Yizhi replied: "Don't worry, young ship owner. I heard that this assassin was difficult to deal with, so I brought He'er over, maybe I could let him speak. As he spoke, Qiu Yizhi stretched out his hand to beckon He'er and said, "He'er, what method do you have, use it now, let this assassin speak a moment earlier, and the old shipowner will suffer less for a moment." ”
He'er nodded, looked around, but asked Li Shengjie: "Young master...... You...... Do you have chopsticks, branches, firewood, or other long strips for me to use? ”
Li Shengjie didn't know what He'er meant, but when he saw a brush on the table, he grabbed it and handed it to He'er, saying, "I don't know if this pen can be used?" ”
"It works, it works, and it can't be used." He'er said as she gently took the brush, took out the glass bottle again, slowly poked the tip of the brush into it, and carefully lifted it out, saying, "Young Ship Master, He'er's medicine is very powerful, don't scare you......"
Qiu Yizhi heard He'er's strange question, couldn't help laughing, and said: "He'er, you forgot, the young ship owner is also a person who practices martial arts, and he never hesitates to kill and decide, will he still be afraid?" Let's get started! ”
Ha'er bit her lip and nodded, and slowly walked up to the assassin, and saw that he was tightly tied to a beam, his head was sideways, and he didn't know whether he was asleep or awake, and his limbs had been tortured to the point that he was a little twisted and deformed.
He also saw that pus and blood were coming out of a piece of skin the size of a palm on his right foot, which was exactly the same as the symptoms of Li Zhi's injury and poisoning, and knew that Li Shengjie had poisoned the assassin according to his previous advice.
However, the assassin still refused to let go of his confession under the ravages of such a fierce poison, which made He'er lose confidence in whether his fierce medicine could make the person in front of him succumb, so he had to find a piece of good meat on the assassin's arm, and then used a brush dipped in poison to gently scratch his skin.
He'er is actually overly worried.
The poison that the Assassin had simmered on the weapon was intended to kill people, not to increase the suffering of the poisoned. However, the poison that He'er is using now is the opposite, purely to make people succumb to severe pain, and even to ensure that the poisoned person cannot die for a moment under this premise.
Therefore, as soon as the poison came into contact with the assassin's body, the assassin woke up suddenly, and saw a blood blister on the skin of his right arm, and the skin around him became black and stinky, and the severe pain came to his heart, and he looked at the seemingly weak woman in front of him with almost surprised eyes, and began to shout and curse loudly.
No matter how much torture the Assassin had endured before, he had always been silent, and only occasionally groaned twice when he was seriously wounded, never screaming in such pain as before.
Li Shengjie saw the assassin's cheeks distorted and deformed by pain, and listened to his heart-rending shout, he was actually a little happy in his heart, and asked in a somewhat joyful tone: "Miss He'er, this medicine in your hand is also effective, I don't know what to call this medicine?" ”
He'er glanced up at Li Shengjie, then lowered his head and said softly: "This medicine is called 'Kai Kai San', which is specially prepared for interrogating prisoners, and the use of this medicine can't help but make people feel unbearable pain, and the flesh and bones of the medicine site will be gradually dissolved." The most strange thing is that in this process, the prisoner will not die, and can only watch his flesh and skin dissipate little by little. If the executioner is cautious, the person will only be left with a skeleton in the end, but the person will not be able to breathe......"
"Good!" Li Shengjie praised, "It's really a good medicine!" ”
He called Zhang Ergou again and ordered: "Ergou, did you hear what this girl said just now?" You don't miss a word, so you translate it to this man, and tell him that if you can say the antidote, let him die a happy death, otherwise, you will make him unable to live, and he will not be able to die! ”
Zhang Ergou was a cowardly man, seeing the tragic situation of the assassin after taking the drug, and listening to He'er's introduction, he was frightened, and said a long series of words to the assassin of the Japanese kingdom in a trembling voice.
When the assassin heard this, he shouted again, but there was a look of fear in his eyes that could not be concealed.
Seeing this, Li Shengjie hurriedly asked, "Ergou, what did he say?" Is it recruited? Hurry up and translate it to me. ”
Zhang Ergou shook his head and said, "He was just scolding, he didn't say how to solve the poison......"
When Li Shengjie heard this, he was a little discouraged, but he heard He'er say, "It doesn't matter. The young shipowner called someone to rub a towel with clean water and vigorously wipe off the place where the assassin had just been drugged. ”
Li Shengjie nodded, and asked the other sailor in the room to do the same.
The sailor quickly brought in a wet towel from outside, raised the Assassin's right hand, and gently wiped the black, smelly part of his right arm.
The assassin was wiped by him, and the pain in his arm seemed to subside suddenly, and the tense muscles on his face relaxed suddenly, and the swearing and shouting in his mouth also stopped.
He'er smiled: "Young ship owner, your subordinates look like five big and three thick, but they can take care of people." I told him to rub it hard, how did he help this assassin get sick? ”
When Li Shengjie heard this, his face sank, and he said to the sailor: "Did you hear Miss He'er's words?" Didn't you kid eat breakfast? Don't have any strength in your hands? ”
The sailor agreed, gritted his teeth, pressed the wet towel on his hand to the wound of the assassin, and rubbed it vigorously with all his strength.
This time, the sailor's movements were rude and violent, that is, the skin was intact, and it would hurt for a while to be treated by him, not to mention that the assassin's hand was poisoned, and this part of the skin had festered - Li Shengjie and Qiu Yi on the side saw it, and they all felt pain.
Unexpectedly, the assassin turned his head to see his body destroyed, and his face was full of surprise, but there was no pain.
The sailor moved the towel away, startling himself - he had wiped the flesh off the Assassin's arm, leaving only two bones in the air, and several veins bouncing "suddenly".
When Li Shengjie saw it, the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily a few times, and said to Zhang Ergou: "You tell him that if he doesn't confess again, he will remove all the skin and muscles on his body, and the remaining bones will be dismantled one by one, but it depends on how he can bear it!" ”
