Chapter Twenty-Four: The Prisoner of the Iron House

The gray-clothed man who cut people's fingers and Lao Tie are brothers, and after apprenticeship, he changed his name to Linghu Wuxi.

The gray-clothed man made the fox not sick or annoyed, and said flatly: "Master Ma and Gang Master Zhang want me to ask you, where is the big treasure hidden?"

The middle-aged man panted heavily, gritted his teeth, and said, "Don't think about it." ”

Linghu Wuxian took the torch from the wall and burned it at the fingers of Hua Zhongxian's left hand for a while. Hua Jong-hyun shook his left arm violently, and let out a strange cry from his mouth. Soon, his left hand emitted the smell of burnt skin and human flesh.

Listening to the screams and looking at Hua Zhongxian's miserable expression, Ling Hu Wuxian felt a little frightened and a little weak in his heart, he wanted to use fire to stop the bleeding, but he didn't expect it to be so terrifying. He deliberately smiled strangely, and the corners of his mouth showed a cold arc. He looked at the remaining three burnt fingers, and said to himself: Just cut them all off for you.

Linghu Wuxian took out the middle finger of the middle-aged man's left hand again, pressed it on the middle finger with a sharp knife, and did not rush to cut it off, and asked, "Great treasure, where is it hidden?"

The middle-aged man is in good health and has eaten the miracle medicine, but he can't help the pain of breaking his fingers. His chest floated up and down, and his breathing became even more rapid, and he said in horror: "Linghu is not sick, I don't want to be sorry for you." ”

Linghu pondered without illness and sighed: "Three years ago, when you first came to Yuanyang City, it was you who gave me money and let me save my sickly woman. I am grateful to you. ”

"It was I who asked you to join Yuanyangwei and become a soldier who received silver. ”

"I'm grateful to you. ”

"It was also me who promoted you to be the captain of Yuanyangwei's soldiers. ”

"I'm grateful to you. ”

"Last year, it was also me who exempted your son from military service in the Northern Regions. ”

"I'm grateful to you. ”

"I've always been kind to you. Why do you ......?"

Linghu Wuxian said excitedly: "What about this year?

"I didn't do anything to be sorry for you this year. ”

"Hmph, Director Ma has already proposed that I take over as the official of Yuanyang Wei Qianhu, why did you veto the proposal?"

"You are only the captain of the soldiers, how can you go beyond the rank of 100 household officials and directly serve as the official of 1000 households? You do not meet the requirements for the post. ”

"What conditions are not conditional. It's not just a matter of what you are an official saying. ”

"A person like you, who opportunists and has no conscience, is not fit to be an official. ”

Ling Hu gritted his teeth without illness, "Just a womanizer like you is suitable to be an official?"

"Men and women love, each takes what he needs. And I have not deceived women. ”

"Hmph. ”

"You and Ma Baiyu killed boys, I noticed it last year. It's just that I can't bear to deal with my brother who is born and dies. ”

"Hmph, you are selfish for officials, and good and evil are rewarded. ”

The middle-aged man sighed: "The chief officer shielded the subordinate officials, and after all, he left a disaster. ”

"Now, Master Ma has taken over Yuanyang City. ”

"What if you take over?" the middle-aged man pondered for a moment, and then said, "You...... You are plotting to seize power. ”

Linghu said proudly: "It's not a conspiracy, it's a conspiracy." The Greentown Governor's Mansion has asked Director Ma to act as the chief of Yuanyang City. ”

"Nonsense, I haven't stepped down yet, how can I let Ma Baiyu act as an agent?"

"Tsk, your death document was delivered to the Greentown Governor's Mansion half a month ago, and you died in the battle to hunt down the thieves. Haha......"

The middle-aged man said: "Deceiving the officials and kidnapping the officials of the court, you are a big crime of killing your head." ”

"I only know that without you, I can become a thousand household officials. I don't care if it's a big sin or a big crime. They covet your power, they covet your wealth, they covet your women. I just want to get the position I deserve. ”

"The position of the Thousand Household Officials is not yours?"

"I spent all my savings, and I also borrowed a thousand taels from the Zhang gang leader of the Shang Gang, just to fill the vacancy of the Qianhu official, and your words made all my efforts come to naught. Do you know that if I can't sit in the position of a thousand household officials, I will be in debt, and my family will be ruined. For the sake of my wife and children, I can only turn against you. ”

"For the sake of an office, are you dead?" "Some people are alive and he is dead, and some people are dead and he is still alive." "You live to be an official, but your conscience is dead. ”

"Hua, Zhong, Xian, you rich and powerful guy knows how to stand on the moral high ground and talk nonsense, and you are not me, how can you know the sorrow of my little person!"

"I'm the same as you. I was also born poor. ”

"Fart. You have endless money to spend, and you are a scholar of the palace, how can you be the same as us!"

"It's different. I am still a patriot for the country and the people, but you are a snob who tends to be inflammatory. ”

"Bastard, again, began to stand on the moral heights, mocking me, despising me. You go die, haha......"

Linghu Wuxian cut off the middle finger of the middle-aged Hua Zhongxian's left hand in the laughter.

Hua Zhongxian let out a long cry and fainted. Linghu Wuxian threw the dagger on the ground casually, and laughed away.

Li Xiao listened to Hua Zhongxian's miserable cry of losing his finger in his ears, and his heart was shocked when he saw such a terrifying tragedy as cutting his finger. The bloody events played in film and television dramas, read in books, and thought in my heart, how can there be horror that I have seen with my own eyes!

Li Xiao took a turn in the iron cage of more than ten square meters, and tried the iron bar of the cage with his hands, which was extremely hard and strong. Li Xiao waited for a long time, but didn't see the middle-aged man wake up, so he shouted in a low voice, "Hey...... Feed...... The man...... What to spend...... Uncle....... ”

After waiting for a while, he shouted again, but the middle-aged man did not respond. After doing this seven or eight times, Li Xiao gave up, and Li Xiao lay on the ground and slept for a while, then woke up. When you're hungry, it's hard to get a good night's sleep.

On a hot summer day, the floor is very cold.

After Hua Zhongxian woke up, he turned his head left and right, looked around with the only remaining eye, he turned his face towards Li Xiao, and saw a young man through the iron cage, so he whispered to himself: "Ma Baiyu, this impotence, is going to eat the boy's lifeblood again." Hey!"

Li Xiao didn't hear what the middle-aged man was saying, he couldn't see the details of the middle-aged man's face clearly, but the organs on the face were still recognizable. The middle-aged man's face was covered with dried dark red blood, both ears were gone, one eye was gouged out, and there was white powder in the collapsed eye socket, probably hemostatic powder or medicine powder to prevent infection. The other eye is bright and sharp, and the nose is high and beautiful.

Li Xiao was shocked, he walked to the iron bar of the iron cage, and said in a trembling voice, "What are you talking about?"

Hua Zhongxian saw that Li Xiao's hair was very short, and vaguely remembered the scene of the dragon lizard owner with a short-haired boy more than ten days ago, and he asked in surprise, "Are you the child that Qin Yan carried?"

"Huh?"

"Aren't you from the Time and Space Cave Mansion?" Hua Zhongxian couldn't be sure if the two children were the same person.

Li Xiao said suspiciously: "How do you know the Time and Space Cave Mansion? Do you know the master of the dragon lizard?"

If it was really the same person, Hua Zhongxian said: "That day, you fainted and didn't see me." ”

“......”

"I'm Hwa Jong-hyun. ”

Li Xiaowei smiled: "The immortal in the painting?"

"The flower of the closed moon, the bell of the evening drum and the morning bell, the sage of respecting the elderly. ”

Li Xiao read "Hua Zhongxian" in his mouth, and said, "What are you doing, why do they abuse you?"
