Chapter 204: I'm optimistic about you
At the door, the Elder Rational Punishment had already ignored Yi Yuncen, waved his head, and said, "Take it away." β
He said to Mrs. Duan, who came over and was about to speak, "Madame, forgive me." Please rest assured, Madame, you also know the rules of the torture hall, and if someone complains, you must check it out. Little Seventeen, I also grew up watching, and I won't wronged her. However, there is something that must be clarified with Mrs., because this matter may still be involved and needs to be inquired at any time. Please Mrs. and Yun Cen, and all the people in this courtyard, please postpone going out for the next few days. β
Everyone changed color, Mrs. Duan was about to speak, but was forced by Yi Xiuding's eyes, Yi Xiuding looked at her and motioned to Yi Yuncen, Mrs. Duan thought about it, sighed, and finally did not speak.
Yi Yuncen lost his voice and said: "You are going to put us under house arrest?" How dare youβ"
"I don't dare." Elder Li Punishment smiled and said, "Yun Cen, do you know that someone accused you and your wife of covering Yi Xiuding at the same time, intending to steal the seal. Of course, I don't believe in this for the time being, so I'll just ask you to stay in the courtyard first, and be good to you and everyone. I'm kind-hearted, Yun Cen, don't be willful, no matter how willful you are, is it possible that Mrs. doesn't want to stay in the courtyard, and you also want to go to the black prison? β
"Go and go......" Yi Yuncen didn't finish his sentence, and was suddenly kicked down by Yi Xiuding, and almost fell to his stomach.
He lay on the ground, spat out a mouth full of mud and snow, and shouted incredibly: "Seventeenth sister, you are crazy! β
Yi Xiuding's eyes were cold and hard, "Don't fall for the villain!" β
Yi Yuncen jumped up suddenly, "But you can't be taken away like this, do you know what the black prison is!" They're going to kill you! β
Yi Xiuding ignored him, but suddenly looked at the Elder of Punishment, and a sneering smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
"I don't understand you, the enemy is forcing to the doorstep, Changchuan Yi may not be able to keep it, you are still infighting, killing your own people, you really don't want Changchuan Yi to live anymore, right?"
The Elder of Punishment still smiled kindly, and said, "What are you talking about, Little Seventeen, we are all a family. If you are not guilty, Grandpa Seven will never wronged you, don't worry, don't be afraid. β
Yi Xiuding sneered, raised his legs and left, but suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Wen Zhen, moved his gaze, and glanced at Yan Sui again.
Then she turned her gaze away in some haste, strode away, and when she crossed the threshold, the Elder of Punishment who was standing on the side suddenly whispered something in her ear.
Yi Xiuding stiffened, turned his head and glared, and the Elder of Punishment had already left with a smile behind his back.
Wen Zhen whispered to Yan Sui, "What did he say?" β
Yan Sui said slowly: "He said." You're right, Changchuan Yi may not be able to keep it. Even if the imperial court does not accept it, this disease will sooner or later exterminate the children of the Yi family. In that case, why not plan for yourself? β
Wen Zhen laughed and said, "Stupid." β
Yan Sui's eyes were deeply approving.
"We really...... Don't save Yi Xiuding? This punishment elder hid a knife in his smile, Yi Xiuding was afraid that Yi Yuncen would be impulsive and cause trouble, so he would definitely suffer a lot if he went with him. β
"The more Yi Xiuding suffers in the Yi family, the more infighting the Yi family has, and the more beneficial it is to us."
Wen Zhen lowered his head and sighed.
For a person like Yan Sui, all the human emotions are probably only given to her, and for others, it is really pure political thinking, cold as winter.
At this moment, the little accident and sourness caused by the quilt before disappeared, and there was an indescribable sadness in her heart.
Sometimes, I still hope that Yan Sui is more humane.
She was always afraid that Yan Sui would walk towards the abyss and lose herself in such a deep gaze.
When Yi Xiuding was escorted out of the door, he was bumping into the rushing Lantern Elder and a group of subordinates, and two groups of people stood at the gate of the courtyard, separated by the light of a wind lantern.
Yi Xiuding looked at the Elder Chuandeng who was running with hot sweat in winter, and his eyes were very bright.
Elder Chuanlan said angrily: "Punishment! What a trick you do in the middle of the night! Don't hurry up and let Xiao Seventeen go! β
Elder Li Punishment smiled helplessly, "Great Elder, what tricks can I do?" As for me, aren't I just a bitter torture elder? Someone told me that I had to crawl out of the hot bed and do this thankless task. Look at how hard it is for me. β
"The torture hall is in your hands, what crime, what accusation, it's not your business to cover the sky!"
"Great Elder, you're saying a bad thing. If you want to cover the sky with one hand, this Yi family can't take my turn. Or you see, it's just a matter of covering the sky with one hand, and it's a big rebellion. β
Elder Li Xing stepped forward with a smile, personally handed over a letter with both hands, Elder Chuandeng looked at him suspiciously, and in front of him, he took out a pair of gloves and put them on, before taking the book.
In the light of the wind lamp, he casually flipped it, his face changed, he suddenly closed the book, and raised his head to stare at the Elder of Punishment.
The Elder of Punishment pointed his finger at the book and smiled meaningfully, "You see, right?" Don't blame me for today's events, hey, it's outrageous here, and there's more to it than thatβ"
He tilted his head and turned his mouth to Yi Xiuding, "Great Elder, you say, should I accept such a complaint?" β
His mouth was facing Yi Xiuding, but his eyes were only looking at Elder Chuandeng.
Yi Xiuding kept staring at Elder Chuandeng, who was silent for a while and then turned his eyes away.
The kind but uncomfortable smile of the Elder Refreshed again.
After a while, Elder Chuandeng took a step back, got out of the way, didn't look at Yi Xiuding, and said astringently: "Since you have been sued, you should find out." I also hope that the elders of the punishment will be able to uphold the will of justice and judge justly. β
"That's nature, that's nature."
Yi Xiuding stopped looking at him, turned his gaze to the ground, and stared at it fixedly for a while, as if he wanted to see some flowers there.
The path was out of the way, and she walked faster than ever before toward the darkness.
Behind her.
Suddenly, a strong wind swept up the wind lantern and slammed it on the courtyard wall, and the light and shadow shook rapidly, like countless ghosts tiptoeing into the dark night.
The night is bone-chilling, and the wind is like the sky of a dream.
β¦β¦
At the gate of Mrs. Duan's courtyard, the rest of the people were still standing.
Yi Yuncen trembled all over, if he hadn't been dragged by Mrs. Duan, he was afraid of rushing out and dragging Mrs. down, he would have rushed out a long time ago.
Mrs. Duan whispered in his ear over and over again: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, don't fall for other people's tricks." Don't worry, I'll use the Green Knife Order to invite the eighteen tribes and ask them to come forward and protect Xiuding. The Yi family is now busy fighting for power and profit, and they all want to win over the eighteen tribes, and their help must be useful. β
"Ma'am." Wen Zhen walked up to her and said softly, "I don't understand, the imperial court is about to come to seize the historical position, the Yi family is in danger, and they should be working together, why do they still have to fight for power and profit at this time?" What about competing for the head of the family? Didn't he return to the court again in a blink of an eye? β
Mrs. Duan was silent and said, "Xiaoxiao, you seem to have a lot of confidence in the imperial court. β
Wen Zhen was shocked and asked rhetorically, "Shouldn't it?" The imperial court is not a weak envoy this time, and it is appropriate for Wang Yansui to move the court ......"
"So what? No matter how powerful he is, he is not in charge of the army, His Majesty is jealous of him, and refuses to bring troops to him, and even Lin Qing and Qiu Tong's border troops are not allowed to use it. He alone has the ability to reach the sky, and with the embroidered pillow of 3,000 Jinwu who have not gone through actual combat, he can compete with the Changchuan Yi family, which I have been running an army of 100,000 for many years? Can you capture the outer seven floors here, the inner city and the outer city, the impregnable Yi family compound? Can you solve the intricate forces of the Eighteen Clans, the Yi Family, the Golden Qi Army, and the Elders' Hall at the same time? As long as one party can't press it, the Changchuan Yi family can't be completely subdued, can he? β
Wen Zhen thought, he could.
Even if it sounded impossible, he could.
Have you made someone else's mahjong and arranged all the powerful three parties you rely on?
Mrs. Duan said thoughtfully: "Even if he is so strong that he is inhuman, he can." But all the Yi family members believe that His Royal Highness only wants the position of assassin history, and he also wants a stable Changchuan, so the rest of the huge Yi family will not be in too much danger, the Yi family has been in charge of Changchuan for many years, mastering all aspects of Changchuan's military and people's livelihood, and uprooting the Yi family, which is not conducive to the smooth transition of power in Changchuan in the future, so what should be grabbed must be grabbed, the more strength you can grab, whether it is to control Changchuan in the future, or to trade with the eighteen tribes and His Royal Highness, you will have more confidence. Isn't it? β
Wen Zhen thought, in principle, yes.
But is Your Highness a man who does things according to reason?
However, she understands the mentality of the Changchuan Yi family.
Long-term local overlords, who have been accustomed to being self-respecting for many years, have a condescending mentality, in Changchuan, they are the emperors, and their understanding of the imperial power and the prince is insufficient, and they have not aroused enough vigilance against Yan Sui, and they also feel that the huge Yi family will be relied on forever, and they feel that appeasement is the only choice in front of such a deep-rooted family.
But they didn't understand that even if Yan Sui wanted to appease, the ministers who had suffered from the blessing of longevity would not allow it.
Mrs. Duan suddenly sighed and said faintly: "Power is never as important as life, I hope they will understand sooner or later." She looked up at Wen Zhen, "Miss Li." I'm sorry, but I'm sorry to protect you, but it's still unclear whether I can do it depending on the situation, and I'd like to ask for your help......"
Madame was serious. You're talking about Miss Yi, right? Don't worry, we'll do our best. The night is cold, Madame should rest early, if you fall, the Yi family will be even more chaotic. β
Mrs. Duan also understood, nodded, and dragged Yi Yuncen, who had been in a daze with red eyes, and was helped in by Mama. Wen Zhen looked at Yan Sui, "Let's go see Miss Yi, I'm worried that she will suffer." β
Yan Sui was silent.
"Someone like her. It's cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and it's better to bend than bend, and if it does, it's a pity. β
Yan Sui then said: "You stay in the house well, don't go out with you anymore, I'll take a look." β
Seeing Wen Zhen nodding in agreement, he flew up.
flashed past the high wall, crossed the heavy roofs, followed the trails of the group of people, and followed them to the Yi family's torture hall.
The Yi Family Torture Hall is at the junction of the inner and outer courtyards, where a particularly high wall is erected, the wall is white and smooth, I don't know what kind of material, at first glance it looks like the shape of bones is layered together, and it is miserable to be white and miserable from afar.
Even the guards of the Yi family walked around this wall.
Yi Xiuding raised his head and looked at the place where the most vicious child of the Yi family also trembled when he heard the sound and did not dare to approach, it is said that there are seven layers of hell here, skin, flesh, bones, blood, tendons, dryness, and black. There is no need to move, just go from the first entry to the last entry, which is enough to make people collapse.
This skeletal prison is responsible for interrogating and imprisoning rebels, dissidents, and all suspicious people, and death here is not the most terrible ending, but sometimes it is a painful relief.
The Elder stepped forward and pressed his palm on a slightly recessed place on the wall, and in a moment, the wall opened, and Yi Yanwu walked out of it.
He bowed, took Yi Xiuding without saying a word, and the Elder of Punishment yawned, and said, "Tossing in the middle of the night, I'm tired, I'll go to sleep first, and I'll leave it to you here." β
"Elder rest assured."
The Elder of Punishment walked a few steps, looked back at Yi Xiuding, and said to Yi Yanwu, "Don't kill her, but let her settle down." β
"Disciple saved."
The Elder Punishment patted Yi Xiuding's head with pity and said with a smile: "Listen to your tenth uncle's words, don't be stubborn." β
Yi Xiuding closed his eyes and ignored him.
In front of her looked like an ordinary courtyard, but every gate opened, and she saw blood, broken meat, bones, all kinds of strange torture instruments, and screaming people.
Even the guards of the torture hall who were imprisoned here every day subconsciously shrank into the shadows.
As soon as one of the guards shrank into the shadows, he felt a gust of wind pass behind his ears, and then he knew nothing.
The Seven Prisons have one thing in common, that is, they all have a pool, which is filled with black potions, corpses and various objects, and when thrown into it, they will slowly melt away.
A moment later, a body sank silently into the pool.
Yan Sui, who was wearing a guard uniform, walked out silently and followed behind Yi Yanwu.
No one noticed.
Yi Yanwu took Yi Xiuding and walked through the blood all over the ground, the sticky blood stuck to the soles of his shoes, and he chirped slightly every step he took out.
The first one is a dry skin color, and the ground is also like human skin, condensed with some mottled clotted blood clots, walking on it with a banging sound, every step is slightly flicked, making people feel like their skin is beginning to numb.
The second torture instrument was more numerous, the blood was thicker, and everywhere there was fresh or old red, the black blood scab was covered with red new blood with minced flesh, and there was a faint snort that seemed to be from the torturer, and the nose was full of rusty bloody breath.
The third entered the miserable white, like a prison of white bones, and there were some reddish holes on the white bones, and the screams of the tortured people were clearer.
The third is more tragic than the second, the first is more bloody than the first, the picture is more vicious, and the torture instruments are more terrible.
The psychological horror created is even more intense, and the continuous superimposed bloody pressure constantly forces people into deeper fear.
Wait until the seventh entry.
Suddenly, it was dark and I couldn't see anything.
After experiencing the great psychological horror ahead, in fact, goodbye blood or something has been numb, but when I encounter this darkness, it hits people's fears more than killing, and everything I saw before seems to be lurking in the darkness, or crying and approaching, or tiptoeing to come.
Even a resolute person like Yi Xiuding trembled.
Yi Yanwu's voice sounded at this time, "Get off the pipa nail!" β
A sharp sound of breaking the air sounded, and Yi Xiuding raised his head.
The pipa nail is a kind of torture tool that the Yi family will only use to deal with the felons of the enemy who must die and have high force.
Yi Xiuding wanted to retreat, but his arms had been locked by the person behind him and he couldn't move.
With two groans, the dull sound of the long needle penetrating the flesh and blood made people's ears numb, and the faint bloody qi instantly leaked away.
Yi Xiuding snorted unconcealably.
Yi Yanwu brushed his hand on Yi Xiuding's shoulder, and felt the slightly protruding needle tip and sticky blood with satisfaction.
He hummed in satisfaction, snapped twice, and the room lit up slightly.
At this time, everyone could barely see the outline of the room, the small space, the walls to the floor and even the torture instruments were painted black, and even the flame of the oil lamp on the wall did not know what was added, it was black, exuding a strong smell of blood, the white bones and torture instruments on the ground were scattered, and the rows of iron buttons on the wall, between some iron buttons, left a whole person-shaped blood mark, as if a person was slowly tearing off his flesh and skin there.
Yi Yanwu ordered his subordinates to buckle the long needle behind Yi Xiuding's shoulder on the iron buckle, and then broke the needle and fastened it, and said with a smile: "Little Seventeen, don't move around, this organ is extremely hard with iron, and it is attached to your flesh and blood, you can only pull it hard, and once you pull it hard, your entire shoulder will also be cracked, don't blame us for not being able to save your life at that time." β
Yi Xiuding didn't say a word, and finally raised his head slowly, and under the black candlelight, he said word for word: "Since I am guilty, what about the interrogator and the person who confronts me?" β
Yi Yanwu smiled and said, "Little Seventeen, you are really naΓ―ve. β
After saying that, he closed the door, locked the mechanism, nodded and motioned for the guards to stay at the door, and turned to leave.
The black prison doesn't need too many guards, the mechanism that enters the door changes every day, no one knows except the elder and him, and he can't get in if he breaks into the door, and he can't get rid of Yi Xiuding if he can enter.
Wait until Yi Xiuding is tortured half to death, and then ask for a confession, and then according to the need, you want what you want.
The black prison was silent, except for the sound of blood dripping on the ground.
There was a faint sound in the doorway, but it soon fell silent.
Not long after, there were footsteps, and it sounded like there were three or four people, the first one laughing as he walked, and his voice sounded a little obscene.
He walked to the door, and did not speak, but suddenly there was a sound of a bell in his hand, and the sound of the bell was as ethereal as water.
After a ring, he impatiently kicked the door and motioned for it to open.
The guard paused, and after a moment, there was a snap and the door opened.
The man took the lead, and several people entered the door and went straight to Yi Xiuding.
In the dark, Yi Xiuding raised his head and shouted: "Who!" β
The leader grinned and said, "The one who came to caress you." β
There was silence for a while, and then Yi Xiuding said coldly: "Get out." β
"It's all like this, and you're still on a shelf? Do you know how many people hate to see your dustless virtue? The man laughed in a muffled voice, "You scold, you scold more, I will let them pamper you one more time, do you know who they are?" The flowers on the miscellaneous streets in the outer city are called flowers, the lepers who pour night incense, and the flowers and willows are rotten on the flowers, and the rotten meat is fluttering all the way in...... How is it, Childe, am I good to you? I heard that you were in the black prison, and I spent a lot of effort overnight to find it, so you should remember to enjoy it later......"
Lustful laughter sounded low in the darkness, and a sticky and dirty human smell was approaching.
The dark environment without five fingers is terrifying, but it can also give birth to all the unspeakable desires and darkness in the depths of the heart, the dark night always makes the sin more daring, and the surrounding gradually has the sound of excited breathing, like a stench beast, accompanied by trembling fingers, climbing towards the corner of Yi Xiuding's clothes.
Yi Xiuding didn't close her eyes, she opened her eyes to the maximum in the thick black, and the bloodshot in her eyes was instantly dense like blood.
For the first time in her life, she was trembling.
So much so that the clasp on the shoulder made a subtle jingle sound.
The closed room seems to have a sudden wind, swinging leisurely.
The first hand touched it obscenely, and when the fishy snort rushed up, Yi Xiuding closed his eyes suddenly, and his teeth bit downward-
I'd rather die than be humiliated!
She used all her strength, not to mention breaking her tongue, it was enough to break the knife.
With a click, it was not his soft tongue that he bitten, but a thin layer of skin, under which were hard bones, and then flesh and blood, and the imaginary pain did not come...... Her eyes widened, she understood something in a trance, and she bit harder.
In the darkness, there was a muffled whining in the throat, as if someone wanted to scream but was blocked. Yi Xiuding was happy in her heart, and she put down her strength, and then clicked, and the hand was bitten off in her mouth.
There was another miserable howl in his throat, and the voice was somehow forced so thin that it sounded a bit like a woman's cry.
The group of cripples didn't know what was going on, and they laughed more and more wickedly.
Then there was a pop, and someone fell to the ground, writhing and unable to get up.
A foot suddenly kicked on the butt of the rotten man who had spent his flesh in the flower street, kicking him to the man, and a voice said calmly: "What are you doing in a daze?" Got to work. β
The man felt that something was wrong, and when he touched it, he almost screamed, but before the sound could rush out of his throat, he felt a cold buttocks, and something sneered and shot him, cutting his belt. He could feel that the thing hadn't left, it was still exuding coldness, stopping behind him.
"Three times per person, a quarter of an hour each time, and add more times if the hour is not enough." The throat was evil and light, "Don't think about fooling, you guys stop when the hour is not up, and the thing behind your ass should work." βγ
"This ...... This ......," the man stammered, "man...... Man ......"
"What's wrong with the man? Since you are a tyrant of Flower Street, you don't know where to open the door? β
I don't know who's snorting and panting in the dark.
After a few dings, the legendary pipa nail that could not be broken free after being buckled in was untied.
There was the sound of footsteps slowly moving out of the door, and several of the lowest and most detached people heard the sound of the door being closed in despair.
It was still the same idle and low-magnetic voice, through the door, and said casually, "Come on, I'm optimistic about you." β
β¦β¦
