Chapter 30: Full of scheming and routines
With a "snap", Chu Ge smashed the broken porcelain bowl in the corner.
"Give me a light, it's too dark in here." Chu Ge said to the jailer outside.
The jailer looked at Chu Ge, although looking at him was already a bit like looking at a dead man, but an oil lamp was just a gesture.
So the jailer casually took the oil lamp from the side and walked over.
It's just that he doesn't understand a little, what does Yang Yan want an oil lamp for? It's dark and damp in this prison, and there are no books to read.
Then, he saw a scene that shocked him.
I saw Yang Yan trying his best to move his legs, and with the dim light of the oil lamp, he identified several purulent and swollen wounds on his legs.
Then, he used the sharpness of the porcelain bowl to stab the purulent wound!
Under the hard squeezing, pus and blood continued to flow out, and it also emitted bursts of foul smell.
It's just that in the dim dungeon, this stench is nothing, but it's hard to imagine what kind of pain Yang Yan is suffering?
Finally, the pus and blood from a wound were squeezed out.
Chu Ge looked at another wound again, and once again pierced it with the sharp porcelain bowl fragments, squeezing out the pus and blood again.
For him, such an operation has been done several times before, and he has barely adapted to it.
With the blessing of Iron Will, his sensitivity and tolerance to pain have been greatly improved, and his legs have lost most of their sensations at this time, so the pain is not particularly painful.
The point is that the visual impact is too strong.
Piercing the abscesses on his legs with a broken porcelain bowl and squeezing out pus and blood, so repeatedly, it is even stronger than the visual impact of a thriller horror game.
What's more, this is just the beginning, and there will be even more unbearable scenes in the future.
Chu Ge didn't stop because he knew that his time was limited.
There is only so much time left for him in the game, and he must punctur all the abscesses and squeeze out the pus and blood in this time to survive.
Otherwise, the wound was suppurated and infected enough to kill him.
The shadow of the lamp shook slightly, and the jailer who was obviously holding the lamp also saw this scene, and his hands trembled slightly.
Chu Ge was not affected too much, until he squeezed all the pus and blood almost out, and then he fell weakly on the straw.
"Thank you."
The jailer walked away with the oil lamp, but his gaze was a little more reverent.
Ruthless!
As a jailer, he had seen all kinds of people in the prison for a long time, but this was the first time he had seen such a ruthless person. What's more, this ruthless man is not a Jiangyang thief, not a bandit, not a brave general, but a civilian official.
Chu Ge felt that his consciousness was gradually blurred, but since there was no indication that the mission had failed, it meant that he had passed the first stage safely.
……
The lights flickered, and footsteps could be heard outside the cell.
Chu Ge knew that the second phase of this copy had begun.
It's just that this time the jailer didn't enter the cell and put him in the torture room, but silently retreated.
The people who came were also hidden in the shadows, and they were not as full of battles as He Xueyi and Shi Gonggong.
After the jailers were ejected, the entire cell looked gloomy and deserted.
A gray-haired, dark-eyed man stepped out of the shadows.
He didn't wear an official uniform, and he looked extremely low-key, but Chu Ge knew very well that this was the most powerful minister in the current Great Wei Dynasty, Wang Chong under one person and above ten thousand people!
Wang Chong looked up and down at Yang Yan, who was already a little out of human shape, and there was some surprise in his voice: "You don't seem surprised to see me?" ”
Chu Ge was indifferent: "Lord Wang, you and I share the sky, since you have already made up your mind to put me to death, why bother to do this." ”
Although he behaved lightly at this time, in fact, when Chu Ge saw Wang Chong for the first time, he was really shocked.
He didn't expect that Wang Chong would really come to see him in prison!
This meeting was not recorded in the official history at all, so Chu Ge was not mentally prepared at all when he met Wang Chong for the first time, and was speechless by Wang Chong, and the copy naturally failed.
Fortunately, he was fully prepared this time.
Wang Chong sat down in front of the table brought by the jailer, and unexpectedly took out a small wine jug and two small wine glasses, filled them without saying a word, and placed one of the small wine glasses on the side close to Chu Ge through the fence.
"Tingji, although you hate me to the bone and feel that you are different from me, but in fact, in my heart, He Xueyi and others are not worth mentioning, only you can be my confidant.
"Looking at the top and bottom of the Great Wei Dynasty, it can really be called the word 'hero'......
"It's just the two of us."
Chu Ge couldn't help but sneer: "Lord Wang said that he was laughing, how can a great traitor be compared with a great good?" When I saw the saint after Yang Yan's death, if I let him know what Lord Wang said, I am afraid that he would not be angry on the spot. ”
Wang Chong didn't care at all, poured himself a drink, and then said: "It's okay, I am greedy, I am evil, the world's reputation is taken up by you, and the world's notoriety is all due to me." ”
The first minister of the Great Wei Dynasty poured himself a drink, and saw that Yang Yan had no intention of serving that glass of wine at all, and did not force it, but said it to himself.
"Tingji, how old am I to you, and I am a few years earlier than you when I became an official in the court. But I have to say that in the entire Great Wei Dynasty, you are the only one who can make me look up to three points.
"You may think that I am here today to interrogate you like He Xueyi? Want to get you down?
"Definitely.
"Since Your Majesty has not yet ordered you to be beheaded, it means that the two of us are still undecided. You are determined to be impeached, and you have prepared a coffin for yourself, and it would be foolish for me to think that I could make you change your mind by means of a few words, coercion and inducement.
"Therefore, I am here today not for anything else, but to say a few words from the heart of you, a confidant hero, that are not enough for outsiders."
Chu Ge was silent for a moment: "Okay, it just so happens that I also have a few questions, and I want to 'ask' from Lord Wang." ”
In fact, when he entered the second stage of this copy for the first time, Chu Ge was indeed shocked by Wang Chong's attitude.
Because in his impression, Wang Chong in history is the image of a powerful minister who is a great traitor, forming a party for personal gain, embezzling and accepting bribes, suppressing dissidents with extremely ruthless political skills, and turning more than half of the officials in the entire court into a "royal party".
Such a vicious person actually took the initiative to come to the prison and pretended to serve a glass of wine, wanting to talk about life with the impeached Yang Yan?
This really made Chu Ge feel at a loss.
But after a few rounds of failures, Chu Ge had completely understood Wang Chong's mind, and he was naturally more comfortable in dealing with it.
Wang Chong continued: "Ting Ji, I have read the note you submitted. It's really a sword-like essay, which can be described as a heart-wrenching word.
"I don't dare to comment on your evaluation of Your Majesty's content today, but your evaluation of my content really makes my heart tremble.
"Especially when it comes to the heavy snowfall last year, many of your so-called 'royal party' officials exchanged the food for disaster relief for bran and forage for livestock.
Wang Chong paused slightly, and Chu Ge took over the conversation as he wished: "What, is it possible that Lord Wang also knows how to be ashamed of the hungry people?" ”
Wang Chong shook his head: "No, I'm very pleased!"
"Tingji, have you ever thought that one pound of rations can be exchanged for three pounds of bran! This is equivalent to the fact that the food that could have saved one person can save three people!
"Do you know what Guanyin soil is? Have you ever seen all the bark of a thousand miles of plains gnawed away?
"Do you know what kind of scene the simple words in the history books, 'cannibalism in the catastrophe'?
"Do you know that the food money sent by the imperial court for disaster relief will never be enough, if you don't try to work around, then you won't be able to see the victims in the disaster area, you can only see the white bones!
"You have only read the sage books for a few years and recognized the death truth in the sage books, but do you really think that your sage books can save the victims?"
