Chapter 72: The Black Prison (13)
、、、、、、、
It is a nondescript cottage located on the west side of the Dongchang North School Yard, with a row of stables on both sides. The house, which used to be a place for horse stock, has been temporarily converted into a torture room.
Looking through the somewhat decayed wooden door, the room was pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly, but when the fire was lit, the room suddenly glowed with dazzling light, and the room temperature rose rapidly, and gradually, the people who stayed inside were already sweating.
On the ground, shocking torture instruments such as clamping sticks, brain hoops, horse arresting sticks, nail fingers, soldering irons, and whips were placed all over the ground. I don't know if it's the reflection of the firelight or if it's the original color, these torture instruments seem to be red.
When the fire in the furnace burned strong enough, and when the soldering iron was already red, Yuan Dahai gently pushed open the wooden door and walked in. He didn't look at the torture instruments brought back from Jinyiwei, but walked straight to Wang Wenyan, who was tied to the wooden frame, and said in a harmonious voice: "You guessed wrong this time, my head is still on my neck." ”
"That's your luck."
Wang Wenyan raised his head, two sharp eyes stared at Yuan Dahai, and asked softly, "Wei Zhongxian is here?" ”
"Yes, our Governor is here, well, it's been a while, and he's talking to the stall heads in the lobby."
Yuan Dahai nodded, he didn't plan to hide anything from Wang Wenyan, because it was Wei Zhongxian's arrival that gave him the opportunity to see Wang Wenyan again.
Wang Wenyan sighed, and suddenly smiled: "Then what are you waiting for?" ”
Yuan Dahai said: "I'm waiting for you to speak yourself." ”
"I have never been able to betray my friends." Wang Wenyan's face did not have a look of fear, on the contrary, it was a little bantering, as if Yuan Dahai in front of him was just a clown.
Regarding Wang Wenyan's expression, Yuan Dahai selectively ignored it and said lightly: "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean you can't do it." ”
Hearing this, Wang Wenyan nodded, he agreed with this sentence, but it didn't mean that he would give in. Rhetorical question: "What would you do if it were you?" ”
"Yours is a bit of a stump on me." Yuan Dahai shook his head, "Maybe if a person doesn't make friends, he will never betray his friends." But unfortunately, everyone in the world will have friends. To be honest, I don't know how to answer you because I can't answer your question. Perhaps, I know what you're thinking, but you should understand that this is not the answer I want. ”
"If you know what I'm thinking, why do you ask?" Wang Wenyan has a very interesting feeling about the fan in front of him, at least, compared with the fans he saw before, the one in front of him is really interesting.
Yuan Dahai didn't think it was interesting, he just wanted to pry Wang Wenyan's mouth open as soon as possible. After staring at him for a moment, he said slowly, "The reason why I asked you is because it is my duty. After a pause, seeing Wang Wenyan biting his lip tightly because of the pain, his forehead was also wrinkled tightly, and beads of sweat the size of rice grains dripped from his forehead, he couldn't help but feel both sympathy and pity, and sighed:
"Ten fingers to the heart, you must be in pain now, right? If you can't stand the pain, you can call it out, and my people and I won't laugh at you. But why do you have to do this, you must know that no matter how much you suffer, your friends who are out there will not know. ”
At the moment when Yuan Dahai spoke, the second nail of Wang Wenyan's left hand was once again torn off by a bamboo stick, and like his thumb, blood suddenly gushed out, red and red.
"What else can you Dongchang eagle dogs do besides these?"
Wang Wenyan tried his best not to scream, although he could clearly feel the muscles and veins in his left hand beating vigorously because of the great pain, he still gritted his teeth and held on.
"Go to the end of the water, and sit and watch the clouds rise."
After pinching Wang Wenyan's two freshly peeled nails in his hands and taking a closer look, Yuan Dahai shook his head and shook it gently, and suddenly, the two blood-stained nails fell to the ground.
"We are eagles and dogs in your eyes, but we never underestimate our enemies, but we are also not arrogant. Perhaps, Lord Wang should think like this, we eagle dogs can want your life, but you can't want our life, this is the difference between you and me, and it is also where the strength and weakness lie. ”
"Wei Zhongxian will not end well, if you follow him, there is only one way to die!" Wang Wenyan gritted his teeth and said.
"It's just your idea, it's not the truth."
Yuan Dahai coughed lightly: "You still recruited, how did you divide the 40,000 taels of silver from the Xiong family, how much did Zuo Guangdou take, how much did Yang Lian take, and who else got it?" As long as you say it, I can guarantee that I will not let you suffer the slightest bit of flesh and skin, and I can even ask the Governor to intercede for you, so that you can walk out of our East Factory safe and sound. How, what do you think? ”
Listening to Yuan Dahai's words, Wang Wenyan laughed "haha": "Do you think that by torturing me, you can make me betray my friends?" You are wrong, although I, Wang Wenyan, have not done many good things in my life, at least, I have never betrayed my friends. The laughter suddenly stopped, and he said categorically: "You better kill me, because you can't get anything you want from me!" I never knew what the Xiong family had for 40,000 taels of silver, let alone what you were talking about! ”
"When you die, you can never be resurrected."
Yuan Dahai admired Wang Wenyan a little, he didn't expect this guy to be so tough, but this was not what he wanted. Wei Yi shook his head and shook his hand in front of Wang Wenyan's eyes: "My bloodstained hands will never be clean again, you better say it, otherwise I will really kill you." ”
"If you want to kill, you will kill, and it is useless to talk too much." After saying these eight words, Wang Wenyan's mouth no longer opened, his eyes were closed, and he looked like he was begging for death, and his will was resolute, which made Qian En and the two executioners a little admired.
"Good things don't have to be held in your hands, just like good wine shouldn't be drunk often, so that you can keep feeling good."
Yuan Dahai sighed faintly: "But you want to die, but I can't just let you die, because in that case, you will be happy, and I will not be happy." After speaking, his face suddenly became hideous, he slowly took two steps back, and said coldly: "Two fingers can't make him afraid, then five, cut off his right hand!" ”
Suddenly, the two of them held down Wang Wenyan's hand, and Qian En picked up a rusty saber from the ground and put Wang Wenyan's right hand on it.
Although his eyes were closed, his ears were not deaf, and when the coolness of his right hand came, Wang Wenyan's heart suddenly sudden, but soon, he had no idea.
Are you not afraid of death, but are you afraid of missing a hand?
