Chapter 31: Freshen up
While a few people were joking, an older man walked out of the room. looked at this scene with a smile and said, "Since everyone is here, then don't stand, sit down." He turned his head to look at Jing Xian on the side, "You are also the master, why do you just laugh and don't fulfill the master's duty at all?" ”
"That's what Big Brother said." Jing Xian saw that Jing Yuan didn't save face for him at all, and his face suddenly became a little embarrassed.
After everyone sat down, Jing Yuan took the lead in raising his glass and said, "I invited you to come here today because I haven't seen you for a few years. I was in the northwest these years, and Xi Yan went to Lingjiang again. Finally, everyone got together again, so naturally they wanted to hold a banquet to celebrate. How old am I to you, this cup... I'll do it first for respect. ”
After speaking, Jing Yuan poured a glass of wine into his throat very simply.
"Let's not be limited to these false courtesies, since everyone thinks that they are famous people on weekdays, then today is also an elegant gathering. The feast is not without pleasure, I have invited the best luthier today, and in a moment... Please listen. ”
……
Between pushing the glass and changing the lamp, the wine has passed three rounds. Situ Yizheng looked at the bow of the boat and said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother Jing, where is the pianist you said was good?" Why don't you see..."
"Don't worry," Jing Yuan waved his hand, "This play must be full of food and drink to be good, everyone eats first, otherwise when you perform the show for a while, I'm afraid that you have no intention of eating." ”
"Is it that evil?" Qi An didn't seem to believe it, and looked playful, "No matter how good this music is, can it still overshadow Miss Liu on Shifang Street?" "As we all know, the piano of Miss Liu on Shifang Street is a must, and it is rumored that the aftermath can linger around the beam for three days.
As soon as Qi An said this, everyone suddenly had no intention of eating and drinking, and looked at Jing Yuan one after another.
Jing Yuan saw that everyone's eyes fell on him, so he lowered his head slightly, "Since everyone is a little impatient, then Jing will not hide it." Then he turned back and said, "Bring it with you." ”
Following Jing Yuan's gaze, several people turned their eyes to look at each other.
Two burly guards came to the bow of the ship with a man dressed in white and tied him to the cross-shaped pillar.
Xi Yan found that when this person appeared, Jing Xian's expression on the other side fluctuated significantly, obviously a little nervous.
"White-clothed?" Situ Yizheng was a little puzzled, looked at the person who was tied up, and then looked at Jing Yuan, "Brother Jing, where is the pianist who said yes?" Who is he filial piety for? ”
Jing Yuan chuckled lightly, his face showing arrogance, "The song we are going to listen to today is called the White Bone Order." As for why he was dressed like this, it was because today he was giving himself a funeral! ”
"Bone Order?"
"Yes," Jing Yuan said unabashedly, "This person sneaked into my room last night and assassinated me, but was taken down by my guards." Originally, I was still worried about how to have fun at today's banquet, but his visit has solved my urgent need. ”
Such vicious words have become interesting in Jing Yuan's mouth. Then what will happen next, a few people will know in their hearts.
"It's funny," Jing Yuan laughed disdainfully, "and when he searched his body, the guards actually found a dagger in each of his sleeves. These two daggers... It's not ordinary. ”
"Huh... Brother Jing, it's far away. Seeing that Jing Yuan was gradually digressing, Situ Yizheng hurriedly pulled the topic back, "You haven't said how to play this white bone order, if it's too difficult, the little brother can't do it." ”
Hearing Situ Yizheng mention this, Jing Yuan also took the opportunity to come back and said with a smile: "It's not difficult." Let's make up the score, and naturally someone will play it. It's very simple, let's just beat the drum and pass the flowers, whoever this white begonia falls into, who will say a punishment, and someone will inflict the punishment on him on the spot. ”
"It's a good idea," Xi Yan pursed his lips slightly, "It's just that doing such a brutal thing in an elegant place will inevitably be a bit unpleasant." ”
"You don't have a backache when you stand and talk," Jing Yuan put the wine cup in his hand back on the table, looked at Xi Yan and said, "If you are assassinated, I'm afraid you will be a hundred times more cruel than me." ”
When Xi Yan saw him say this, it was not easy to speak again, so he only smiled slightly, and then stopped speaking.
Jing Yuan looked around, and then casually broke off a white begonia: "That... Let's get started. ”
As soon as the words fell, the unhurried sound of drums came from behind the screen, "Knock, knock, knock..." Jing Yuan threw the white begonia on Qi An's table very casually, Qi An looked at it, and then threw it to Situ Yizheng.
Situ Yizheng was not in a hurry to pass it on to the next family, but took the flower in his hand, looked at it carefully, and then slowly handed it to Jing Xian.
Jing Xian was already absent-minded, and when he saw the begonia in his hands, he hurriedly threw it to Xi Yan. I don't know if it was intentional or a coincidence, just when Xi Yan took the begonia and was about to throw it to Jing Yuan, the drum beat stopped abruptly.
Xi Yan looked at the white begonia in his hand and chuckled: "It seems... I'm going to have to give the first verse to this bone order. ”
Except for Jing Xian, everyone else looked at him with interest, very much expecting what he would say.
After groaning slightly, Xi Yan looked at the vein lake downstairs, and raised his voice: "Freshen up, lean on the river tower alone." Thousands of sails are not, and the slanting veins are long. Intestine broken white apple. ”
When everyone heard this, they all knew it in their hearts.
Jing Yuan looked at him with a smile: "It is worthy of being the son of the Xi family, and there is a way to deal with assassins." This grooming punishment is the most painful, first pour hot water on the body, and then brush off the skin and flesh with an iron comb, that is called a tragedy! Immediately, Jing Yuan turned his head and ordered, "Let's start." ”
"Eh...," Situ Yizheng suddenly interjected, "What's the point of scalding water, you have to pour it... Just pour hot oil. ”
Jing Yuan agreed, and after a few moments, the scalding water that had been prepared was replaced by freshly boiled hot oil, and one of the guards stepped forward and reached out to untie the assassin's shirt. Boiling oil poured on the skin and flesh, making a "zila" sound. Rao was the assassin's fearless face before, and he couldn't help but let out a scream at this time.
Before the screams had subsided, another guard scraped the flesh of his chest with an iron comb with iron teeth more than an inch long. The wail resounded in the sky again, and dark red droplets of blood, mixed with wisps of minced flesh, splashed onto the white begonias at the bow of the ship.
"Okay," Jing Yuan raised his hand to stop him at the right time, "get here first, there will be a good trick later, if we comb him to death, how can we continue?" ”
The drum sounded again, and this round, Begonia fell into Qi An's hands impartially. Situ Yizheng looked at the flowers falling into Qi An's hands, and sneered, "It's a pity, why can't it fall into my hands?" ”
Qi An glanced at him disapprehantly, and then said, "How about feeding him a piece of hot coal?" ”
"Nope." Jing Yuan rejected Qi An's proposal, "His tongue has to be kept, and he will have to confess later." ”
"That's right," Qi An tilted his head again and thought about it, "just pour a basin of salt water on his wound." ”
"Very good, very elegant." Jing Yuan cruelly ordered to go down, accompanied by the sound of wailing, and the drum beat again.
In this round, the begonia finally passed to Situ Yizheng. He finally got what he wanted, and ruthlessly had the skin and flesh of the Assassin's legs stripped away, revealing the bones. Even if you are not shocked by the changes, you can't bear to look directly at them for a while.
In the end, when the begonia reached Jing Xian's hands, he looked at the assassin covered in blood as if he was stunned, and couldn't say a word for a while.
"Hurry," Situ Yizheng didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and said with a moving spirit, "Are you scared?" ”
Jing Xian was still stunned, and after a while, he suddenly turned around, leaned on the railing and vomited into the lake.
Jing Yuan looked at all this coldly, and said with a smile: "That's it, since everyone is happy, then let's listen to the results of the trial." Who sent you? ”
After this inhumane torture, the assassin was already angry, "Four... Four..."
"Four what?"
Before he finished speaking, Jing Xian, who was originally lying on the side, drew his sword and threw it at the assassin, ending his life in an instant.
Needless to say, at this time, everyone already knew in their hearts, and they all looked at this farce coldly. Jing Yuan's eyes were even more gloomy, and he looked at his own brother with disdain. But the whole time, he still didn't say a word.
They were brothers who supported each other, and they fought for power. When the love came to an end, only the other party's cold killing intent remained.
