12. Torture
Qiu Ye paused, shrugged his nose and said, "You two are so angry, do you want to wash your hands first?" ”
Lao Zhang and I were fascinated by what we heard, and when Qiu Ye suddenly mentioned this, I also felt angry, and hurriedly said, "Where is the dragon's head?" ”
Qiu Ye patted his head and said, "Alas, even if I didn't say it, it's not suitable to go out now." The faucet is in the water room outside, and our old-fashioned tube building is all centralized water ......"
"Then I'll continue to tell the story......" Qiu Ye said that we were still attracted by the story before, and we didn't care about the smell. I don't know what his old man thinks, whether it's a heart or what, he deliberately pointed it out. Lao Zhang and I glanced at each other, and immediately felt that the other party had a kidney problem, why did he feel so angry at this time?
Who knew that such a good life would not last long, and Vice Marshal Lin's obsession and love for Aunt Nine had aroused the dissatisfaction of other aunts. Among them, the second aunt, who was originally from the poorest background, played the most ruthless role at that time. The second aunt bought off the housekeeper of the family in private, and for a period of time when the deputy marshal was no longer at home, the ninth aunt was, alas, strangled in the room. ”
Lao Zhang and I held our breath and listened to him continue.
Then when Vice Marshal Lin triumphed, Aunt Jiu's grave was erected. Although the people around him were hiding the truth under the coercion of the second aunt, they all told the deputy marshal that the ninth aunt was sick and died...... But he is the deputy marshal who goes south and north, how can some things be hidden from him? What's more, the person who sleeps in the same bed every day, whether he is sick or not, he probably has his own judgment. ”
So under Vice Marshal Lin's methods, his subordinates couldn't bear his severe punishment, and soon the truth was found out by Vice Marshal Lin. Therefore, the housekeeper who strangled Aunt Jiu to death with his own hands and the three subordinates who participated in the whole thing all died miserably. ”
"In that era of cannibalism, as a deputy marshal, it was not a matter at all to kill a few subordinates at home." Qiu Ye paused and said: "But what I especially want to explain is that the housekeeper and the three subordinates were kneeling on the stairs like the deputy marshal begging for mercy at that time, and it was on this staircase that the deputy marshal was furious at that time, and immediately took out his pistol and shot them on the spot. ”
Lao Zhang asked tremblingly: "That's it...... That stairwell where we were hit by a ghost just now? ”
Qiu Ye's face was not shocked, and he nodded lightly.
Lao Zhang and I only felt scared, and we were covered in cold sweat. I thought to myself: Could it be that the supernatural thing just now was the work of the housekeeper and his subordinates back then?
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and when I was frightened, Lao Zhang's ass couldn't sit still, and the signature stress reaction made him slowly move to the door, I grabbed him and whispered, "Are you crazy...... It's safe here now. If you want to run now, don't you have to go up that staircase? ”
Lao Zhang said stupidly: "Yes, yes...... Sometimes...... The man was afraid...... The body is a little out of control...... Just want to escape this damn place......"
When I pulled back Lao Zhang, who was trembling in his footsteps, Qiu Ye continued: "I think it's best for you to stay well now, there is still a little bit behind the story, do you want to finish listening?" ”
The two of us sat down in a row, and Qiu Ye continued: "It's just that he shot the butler who killed his lover, how can Vice Marshal Lin, as a prince under one person, be angry?" This matter is not so simple to end, and the next object of his revenge is, of course, the second aunt! After all, the second aunt is the mastermind behind it. So he already hated this femme fatale in his heart, so her ending was not as simple as breaking into the cold palace. Vice Marshal Lin is a ruthless character who was killed in the pile of dead people, how can he allow such a vicious woman to sleep next to his pillow? As the saying goes, 'the wicked have their own wicked grinding', so Vice Marshal Lin used a more vicious method to arrange the second aunt. ”
"Sell the second aunt to the kiln to be tortured?" Lao Zhang asked curiously.
"How can it be that simple? Deputy Marshal Lin first ordered someone to make a large wooden box, similar to a large wardrobe, but the thickness is about three thicknesses of an ordinary wardrobe. Then he ordered someone to press the third aunt's waistline and cut an oval hole in the middle of the back of the cabinet, which was just enough to jam her waist. ”
Lao Zhang interjected: "Is this to suffocate her?" ”
I thought about it and said, "Not necessarily, if you want to suffocate her, can't you suffocate her quickly?" Why do you go to such great lengths to make cabinets? ”
"Hehe, you are still too young to understand what human capital punishment is...... This Deputy Marshal Lin can't be provoked...... As far as I know, this lynching he designed has not been recorded in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, and it is unheard of. He is the only one in the world who has ever appeared here......"
We listened to it with itching, a cupboard, a hole, what kind of terrible lynching was it?
Qiu Ye sighed, and it was difficult to talk about the cruelty of the punishment, and he took a sip of tea, and then said, "Vice Marshal Lin didn't want to suffocate her. After all, if you just want to kill her, it's just too easy...... I'll go on...... Later, when the cabinet was finished, he moved his family to the second mansion. Only the cabinet remained, as well as ...... The second aunt who locked her upper body in the cabinet and exposed her lower body outside the box. ”
I asked puzzledly: "The whole family has moved away, is Vice Marshal Lin going to starve her to death?" ”
Qiu Ye said: "If she starves to death, it will not be cruel." Deputy Marshal Lin not only didn't starve her, but also sent someone to open the cabinet and bring her food. And regularly and quantitatively, two meals a day. ”
Even Lao Zhang, who claimed to be experienced in the rivers and lakes, couldn't think through it for a while, and asked: "Then what does this mean?" Could it be that there is a ghost in the box? ”
"No, let me say so, the people in the Deputy Marshal's Mansion have all withdrawn, not even a single guard or even a subordinate remained, leaving only the second aunt and the empty house. However, Vice Marshal Lin's prestige is terrifying, so in the first few days, no one dared to break in. But as the days went by, seeing that this house really had people coming in and out to deliver food every day, there was really no one at other times, and gradually someone made up their minds. ”
"In the eyes of the world, the deputy marshal's mansion can be said to be as deep as the sea, although the building is empty now, will there be any treasures left in it? What's more, it was still a troubled time. So, within a few days, there were those who dared to get rich, and they took advantage of the night to touch in. ”
"It doesn't matter if you go in this way, those thieves can't find the warlord's treasure, how can they go back empty-handed? As a result, I saw the fragrant cheongsam with half of the body exposed, alas, think about it, what can these thieves do? ”
We felt a chill in our hearts, the second aunt who was locked in the cabinet, it was dark all day long, leaving only half of her body outside, and she had no ability to resist. That despair in the dark...... She didn't know when, who she would, how she would be tortured.
"It's pitch black and hopeless, and I never know when I'm going to be tormented by whom, and in what horrible way...... Can you imagine the torture that the second aunt was subjected to? ”
"But on the other side, the thieves have tasted the sweetness, so don't they go every day? So it gradually spread...... Some people say that this place is haunted, and some people say that there is a mysterious treasure left by the deputy marshal. In a few days, there will be no one who will go not only at night, but also during the day...... The second aunt was tossed like this, and within a few days, she was tortured to death...... I heard that the death was miserable, alas......"
Lao Zhang and I looked at each other, the development of this situation was completely beyond our cognition, and I couldn't help but tremble in my heart. In that era of cannibalism - the cruel, but insightful Vice Marshal Lin, who has insight into the ugliness of human nature, is really ruthless. Vice Marshal Lin just designed a simple wooden box, and used the destruction of the soul by the dark unknown and fear, and the destruction of the body by all kinds of people with the exposed lower body.
The so-called ten major tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are just physical torture, and I am suddenly nothing compared to the lynching of Vice Marshal Lin.
"Do you know which room the second aunt died in?" Qiu Ye's face was wrinkled, and I couldn't tell his emotions at all from my experience.
But as soon as he said this, I naturally looked at the room in front of me again.
In the corner of this room, there is a big black cabinet!
