Chapter Ninety-Eight: If!
Xiao Yu'an stood in front of the door of the house, not letting others disturb them, he stood under the umbrella, watching from a distance, seventeen and one-dressed robes stood beside Hu Hansheng, as if he was shielding him from all the wind and rain, he knew that there was a story between him and Hu Hansheng, as for what kind of story it was, he would probably know it when this matter was over.
I don't know if it's an illusion, he found that Hu Hansheng always had a feeling of love when he looked at Seventeen, and he had seen this look in a person before, that was the current emperor.
It was Xia Zhishu's birthday banquet, the emperor appeared in a hurry, and left in a hurry, there was no intersection between them, he could even be regarded as being left out in the cold, but when the emperor left, he seemed to have inadvertently glanced at him, and it was also like Hu Hansheng's eyes when he looked at seventeen today, full of love, even his father and mother had never looked at him with such eyes.
The drizzle fell, the breeze blew slowly, he stood in front of the door, guarding for them, all the truth will eventually come to the surface one day, don't worry, he can wait.
"Your Highness has counted all of them, thirty-two corpses, twelve children." Wang Rong's face was heavy, and even his voice became choked.
Those children all had injuries large and small, and they could not be said to be violent at all, they were simply being tortured.
The word torture is a bit serious, but Wang Rong feels that he is not exaggerating at all, those children, some have their nails pulled, some limbs and joints are all out of place, some have their tongues pulled out, some have their eyes gouged out, some have been locked in wooden barrels, deformed and developed, in short, none of them are a little human.
When he saw them, they all shrunk into a ball, and refused to say anything and would not follow them. In the end, they used strong means to directly ask people to hug them.
Xiao Yu'an listened, gathered his mind, glanced at the two in the forest, put away the umbrella, rested on the side of the door, and walked towards the house.
At the beginning, Seventeen was sure that Hu Hansheng was violent to children, and in this place, today he found that there was really no place to hide, and it didn't look like there was a secret room, so he thought about it, and said that the place he was in was a secret room, and what was outside the secret room was the space where Hu Hansheng really lived.
Then he noticed that all the stone statues around the Bodhisattva had fallen in a thick layer. Although the main bodhisattva also has ash, it is obviously much thinner than the others, and there is only one possibility, and that is that the stone statue is often moved.
The Bodhisattva's arms were smoother than in other places, and he looked at them often rubbing, and then he thought that the mechanism was on the Bodhisattva. This sigh really made him test it, but he never thought that this underground was in the sky.
The person who just went down kept moving forward according to what Xiao Yu'an said, and the more he went forward, a smell of blood mixed with an indescribable stench came to his face, making him feel sick in his heart, but he still endured it and continued to move forward.
Gradually, he heard the child's cry becoming clearer and clearer, and did not dare to go further, the people outside listened to it, and they were encouraging him, singing to give him courage, singing what kind of nursery rhymes as a child, and he continued to move forward.
At the end of the walk was a door, and a thick iron chain hung from the handle, about thicker than his arm. He mustered up the courage to push it gently, but he didn't expect it to open it easily.
As soon as he entered, he heard several sobs, and he didn't know where he had stepped on it, and there was water under his feet.
If the night is a huge net that shrouds people in the world, then no matter how bad it is, there is a bright moon hanging in the sky, which is somewhat comforting, and where he is at this time. There was not even a faint light, even if it was an iron cage that was completely separated, even the breath seemed to have been stolen.
He gathered his senses, calmed down in his heart, and took out the fire fold that Xiao Yu'an had asked him to take with him in advance, although he kept telling himself to be calm, his hands still couldn't stop shaking, and the sweat on his forehead became more and more dense, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Fortunately, the lights are on!
As soon as the firelight was lit, he heard a few whimperings, slowly opened his eyes, and when his vision was clear, he couldn't help but be stunned by the scene in front of him.
It was a torture chamber, complete with all the torture instruments recorded in the ancient books, and there were some things he had never even heard of.
There were several children cowering in the corner, two of them were slumped on the ground, and the rest were all huddled in the corner, staring at him cautiously.
The children were all wet. The upper body is naked, and the large and small scars can be seen, without any covering.
Some of the children cried, some did not cry, and even those who cried only carefully held themselves together, whimpering very quietly, not the earth-shattering cries of ordinary children, and the same as the whimpering sound they had just heard below.
Although he was mentally prepared, he was just an ordinary person in the end, he had never seen such a world, he staggered back two steps, and suddenly felt a chill behind him, he slowly turned his head, and his face suddenly lost color.
Seeing two white bones hanging on the shelf, it was the kind of white bones that had been removed, so he hung on the shelf and put together a complete shape, which frightened him and fell to the ground.
The hand was on the ground, a burst of warmth, it felt sticky, a cold rose from the soles of his feet, making him creepy, he carefully raised his hand to see his hand, he saw a piece of blood red, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and sweat instantly soaked the whole clothes.
Now he couldn't find a place to hide, he didn't even know where to put his eyes, he wanted to scream but couldn't scream, and asked the children in a hoarse voice. "You, who are you?" ”
No one spoke, but they hugged him tighter, staring at him with the utmost vigilance.
He swallowed. Struggling to get up from the ground, he counted them, and there were a total of twelve people who were paralyzed on the ground.
As long as it was a human being, everything became less terrible, and he held up the fire fold in his hand and took a cursory look around, this was not just a torture chamber, but probably a horse pen or a kennel.
There are several large iron cages in the innermost corner, the cages are messy, the quilts are full of bloodstains, there are bowls at the door, and you can see flies flying.
"Who kept you here?"
Still no one spoke, and the children looked at him directly, and he knew the bottom of his heart, so he shouted downstairs to explain the situation above.
When everyone heard that the voice came from the roof, they were shocked, and hurriedly called Wang Rong, who also felt that something was wrong when he heard it, and shouted into the cave, "Are you going up or down?" ”
"Go down, all the way to the end."
"Hurry up! There were children injured and two with high fevers. ”
Everyone just listened to it and felt anxious, and they wanted to go up, but the hole was only so big even if it was smashed open, otherwise they could only dig and expand the hole, but it was too late, and the child couldn't wait.
Wang Rong thought for a moment, and then thought about the situation in the room he had just described. Tell everyone to disperse and retreat outside the door, and shout inside, "You find something, smash it on the ground, smash it through!" ”
The man didn't care so much, so he casually copied a hammer and threw it on the ground, there was not much in the room, and the torture tools must be enough.
Sure enough, as Wang Rong expected, within two clicks, the roof was smashed through, and everyone looked at the hollow roof and exclaimed for a while.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and save people! ”
Only then did the crowd react, and a swarm of bees rushed to the middle, without ropes or ladders, so they climbed up the Bodhisattva's body and carried the child down in the form of a relay.
At first, the children were unwilling, but they used forceful means to directly ask someone to break them open, or hold them, or drag them down directly with their bodies, and sometimes accidentally touched the child's wound, and the child did not say a word.
The hardest thing is still those children with misaligned joints, they can't touch it, but they seem to be used to it, no matter how they toss, they don't say anything.
Later, it turned out that the roots of their tongues had been pulled out, and they were unable to speak.
Everyone couldn't say what they felt in their hearts, but they felt uncomfortably tight, and they couldn't find an outlet, only a deep sense of powerlessness.
Everyone saw that the children had been rescued, and before they could ask, news came from outside that the body had been dug up.
They had just saved the twelve children, and now when they heard the news from outside, their hearts were so heavy that they couldn't even open their legs and walk out the door.
It was Wang Rong who took the lead, so he led everyone outside, these children were very vigilant, even if they wanted to clean their wounds now, they didn't even let them touch, they thought about letting them slow down, so they didn't care about them, and they all walked out of the door.
"The adults dug it up, and there were a total of thirty-two corpses, all of them were children, and two of them had become bones."
Wang Rong listened, he didn't know how to react, he stepped forward to take a look, his face suddenly turned pale, and some people were curious, so he also pulled forward to take a look, turned around and vomited.
"Brute."
I don't know who shouted in the crowd, which aroused the anger of the people, but everyone was still silent.
Wang Rong calmly asked the officers and soldiers to start the inventory, and walked outside the courtyard by himself, and saw Xiao Yu'an standing at the door, he weighed an umbrella, was dressed in a blue robe, and his body was long and jade. Ahead is a large bamboo forest, the breeze blows other hairs, and the drizzle falls on the surface of his umbrella, and then contrasts with the inner courtyard, showing that he has been so quiet in this matter, but so ironic.
If someone like him had appeared a few years ago, would there have been some tragedies that would not have happened at all? , some people don't have to die at all? And some people don't go to the dark either? Some people don't have to fall into the abyss?
But if there is an if, if there is no if there is no yet.
He didn't want to step forward to break this beauty, but there were some things, he still had to do it, he lowered his head, and his voice was choked, "Your Highness has finished counting, thirty-two corpses, and twelve children are still alive." ”
Xiao Yu'an listened, but there was no change, as if he had known all this for a long time, silently put away the umbrella and walked towards the house.
He first took a look at the corpses, and then asked someone to find a secluded place to bury them, and then turned and left.
Everyone didn't understand what he meant, but they didn't dare to ask more, Wang Rong wanted to speak and stopped, but still didn't speak, this is evidence, and there is nothing buried here.
Of course, Xiao Yu'an knew that there was nothing left in this burial, but it was not just a country where the Fa was preached, these children had suffered a lot, they must be very afraid of people, and now that so many people were around them, they must be extremely panicked in their hearts, even under the Yellow Spring, they were also uneasy.
It is better to give them quiet, and not to disturb them with the worries of this world.
Everyone doesn't understand, and Xiao Yu'an didn't understand it in the past, but now Xiao Yu'an will definitely choose to do this, and only by doing so is it right.
He didn't have anything to buy, there was no physical evidence, but there were so many people watching, wasn't it, sometimes the favor was comparable to Nifa. Propriety. The portions are much heavier.
He counted the crowd, but he also gave the group of children peace, didn't he?
He went in and saw the group of children. The child is unable to adapt to the light outside and has his eyes closed. Xiao and Ann learned a few scales that were thick on their eyes. It belongs to the body that is close to the child, and all of them are stiff. He quietly retreated. Keep an appropriate distance from them.
"Who taught you how long you've been locked up here? What are your names and where do you come from? ”
He asked a series of questions, but no one answered him.
There was a sneer from the crowd. "Who else. Our Ministry of Rites is still the book of Lord Hu. ”
It was the man who had just stepped into the bottom of the cave who spoke. Because he is the first and most intuitive feeling. So I feel more in my heart than others.
At the beginning of him, the crowd began to become noisy, and they were all discussing this matter, talking about how Hu Yousheng broke the law on weekdays. How cruel is offline, in short, every sentence is good.
Because at the beginning of this incident, a group of beggars went to lock you up and report the crime, Sohu Hansheng. The child violently assaulted the crowd, and then the thread was drawn to him. It is natural to think that the murderer is him. Even if there is no empirical evidence, once you have this understanding in your heart, it will be difficult to deal with it again.
Xiaoyu's case, he didn't make a sound, and listened unhurriedly to everyone discussing Hu Hansheng. He asked the children in the form of oppression in order to stir up the resentment of the people. There was a sense of tension in my heart. They want to take the initiative to find out about it.
For this matter, Hu Hansheng cares about reputation, so the bigger the trouble, the better.
He listened quietly, and even some people began to argue. Wang Rong was very flustered when he saw this. But Xiao Yu, he didn't speak, and he didn't dare to stop it, so he let the situation develop like this.
The final conclusion is that Hu Hansheng is the murderer. They are all asking for a thorough investigation of him. After hearing this, Xiao Yu'an couldn't help but laugh in her heart, and she was simply charged with such a big crime. But what about the evidence.
That's right, the proof.
They never thought of asking for any evidence for their actions today. But seeing is believing. As for whether the murderer was Hu Hansheng or not, they didn't care if it was him. just wants to lead the public opinion of the people to him, so that Hu Hansheng can no longer get out.
He has done a lot of wrong things, and he can't insist that this press will cut off his back road. He still has a lot of back roads that he needs to take slowly. Let him himself go to his death.
