Chapter 7: Poison
Pei Yungui was in a cold sweat, Gu Rin was really not easy to fool.
[Lord Host, seize the opportunity to contact Gu Rin, and don't forget the mission. 】
4322 suddenly reminded.
Pei Yungui came back to his senses.
Yes, her task is to arouse Gu Rin's interest, not to excuse herself, she can't die after all.
Pei Yungui gritted his teeth, and his heart was horizontal.
"Well, I'll admit, I'm not here for a walk."
Gu Rin didn't have much patience anymore, "Let's get to the point." ”
Pei Yungui took a deep breath, "I'm here because of you, I've been pleasing to you for a long time." ”
……
The air suddenly froze.
The attendant who turned on the lamp gasped, and his terrifying gaze swept over Pei Yungui's innocent face and Gu Rin's black face, and there was a sudden chill behind him.
No one dares to say that they like the Lord, and even if they did, they would have gone to hell.
He had a hunch that Miss Pei would not survive tonight, and if the Lord was in a bad mood, maybe he would have to accompany him to the funeral.
Gu Rin was also stunned for a while, he didn't expect Pei Yungui to answer like this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think I have the words 'so fooled' written on my face?" ”
"I'm telling the truth!" Pei Yungui's dark eyes fell on Gu Rin's face, with a serious expression.
It's a bit of a though.
However, from Yuheng Street, where Jifu is located, to Shuiyun Street of Gufu, the only way to pass is Changle Street.
This can very well explain why Pei Yungui appeared on Changle Street, because she wanted to secretly meet her sweetheart at night.
Besides, what bloody son wouldn't be interested in his little girl?
Gu Rin fights and kills all day long, and he is so fierce, it is estimated that no one dares to say words of admiration to him, so can't his own precedent arouse the interest of the other party?
Pei Yungui quietly praised his wit in his heart.
Seeing that Gu Rin was already silent, Pei Yungui hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.
"You were born tall and good-looking, I liked you when I first met General Gu."
Gu Rin sneered, "Then tell me, where do I look good?" ”
He wants to see how Pei Yungui wants to make it up.
The attendant's hand, which was about to burst the lampstick, suddenly loosened.
The Lord is not angry.
Pei Yungui really took a closer look at Gu Rin's face.
This made it difficult for her, she hadn't read much poetry books, she didn't know a word of praise, and she didn't know how to describe people's appearance.
She pondered for a long time, and seemed to be quite embarrassed, and at the critical moment, she was even more desperate.
Pei Yungui felt that the sight that fell on his face was almost burning through his skin, so he said stubbornly: "The eyes are not big or small, the nose is not tall or short, and the mouth is also very good, anyway, they all look right." ”
The squire's breath lifted again.
Gu Rin's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
It was the first time someone had praised him like that.
No, is that a boast?
This is clearly a blatant provocation.
He sneered and pulled a small dagger from his waist.
"That's it, since you can't speak, let's cut out your tongue."
Pei Yungui suddenly stepped back two meters, his back against the wall of the firewood room, and he looked frightened.
The dagger reflected a pale yellow light, gradually approaching Pei Yungui.
"You...... Are you coming really? ”
Pei Yungui's voice was already crying.
She just doesn't know how to phrase it, she can't praise it, no matter what, she can't be guilty of this, right?
Gu Rin's figure gradually enlarged in Pei Yungui's sight, and she immediately reached out and felt a heavy stone behind her, holding it firmly in the palm of her hand.
"I think you need to calm down."
"I'm calm."
Gu Rin sneered.
When he gradually approached Pei Yungui, he suddenly paused, and his left hand holding the dagger froze in the air.
The next moment, a force suddenly came from the air, hitting Gu Rin's face.
"Smack!"
The crisp and crisp sound was particularly abrupt in the quiet air.
Gu Rin's face suddenly turned to the side, and a wisp of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.
The attendant's puzzled gaze fell on Gu Rin.
What's going on? The Lord beats Himself up?
Gu Rin knew very well that it was the nameless force that was stopping him.
He lifted his eyes, and his cold gaze fell on Pei Yungui's face, like a poisonous snake locking onto its prey.
Pei Yungui was clever and said softly: "It's all said, you have to calm down......"
Gu Rin suddenly slammed his palm like the wall of the firewood room, and the internal force brought up a strong palm wind, which shocked the wall to fall in ashes.
Pei Yungui was taken aback and immediately closed his mouth.
Gu Rinjun's face had completely sunk, and he took a deep breath before calming down his desire to kill.
"Fifteen, take two teams of soldiers, surround the general's mansion, search for me within a radius of five miles, and if you find someone who can be killed, capture it alive immediately."
Whether it is a strange force or someone behind it, he has to figure out what the force behind Pei Yungui is.
"Yes."
The attendant who lit the lamp received the order and immediately carried the light gong to mobilize the soldiers.
Gu Rin glanced in the direction where Pei Yungui was standing, and strode out of the firewood room.
"It's too easy to get angry......"
Pei Yungui underestimated quietly.
She opened up the space and found that the progress of the task had gone up by ten percent.
Pei Yungui sighed.
Gu Rin's task is difficult to do, and I don't know how long I will stay here......
-------------------------------------
Gu Mansion, dungeon.
The candlelight flickered on and off, faintly imprinting the blood stains on the wall.
The woman's screams, accompanied by the smacking of flesh and skin, came out of the torture chamber intermittently.
Gu Rin sat down in front of Feiling, and various torture instruments were placed in front of him.
The guard next to him reported: "Master, she refuses to recruit." ”
Gu Rin's eyes reflected Feiling's bloodstained body.
I only heard him say casually: "I heard that you lived in seclusion with Liu Yi in Mochiyue Mountain in your early years?" ”
The lifeless woman suddenly raised her head.
"Bastard, what are you going to do?"
"Liu Yi and you found a good place, but my people traveled through mountains and rivers for three days and three nights to find your family."
Feiling's pupils trembled violently, and a look of fear finally crossed her eyes.
"Let them go...... Please. Feiling pleaded, "They don't know anything. ”
Gu Rin played with the jade ring on his finger and said, "As long as you spit out everything you know, I can not only release them, but also release you, and then arrange a new identity for you, from now on, no one can disturb your life." ”
"Well, this deal is a sure deal."
Feiling was silent for a long time.
"I'll only give you a stick of incense time to think about, otherwise, I'll let your relatives go down to bury you."
Feiling's face was gray.
The torture chamber fell silent, leaving only the sound of fire.
After a moment, she finally sighed.
Gu Rin's eyes were sharp.
It's time to loosen up.
He said with a straight face: "Eleven years ago, who was the person behind the rebellion against the party in You County? Why did General Li Zhengqing's army die in battle? ”
Fei Ling fell into memory.
"I don't know who is behind the scenes, but he is definitely not the leader of the rebel army."
"At that time, the deployment of the leading army and the initiation of the turmoil required the acceptance of the holy decree from above. The Holy Decree is only accessible to the chief and his cronies, and my husband and I have never seen what the Holy Decree looks like. ”
The trail is broken.
The jade ring in his hand was pinched into powder by Gu Rin in an instant.
His eyebrows and eyes became more and more terrifying, Feiling's eyes touched, and his speech became slurred.
Gu Rin opened his mouth, his voice cold: "Second question, continue." ”
“…… Be. Feiling continued: "That year, famine and epidemic came one after another, and You County was really chaotic. ”
The villagers had no harvest, and they were suffering from illness, and the village changed children and the food fashion gradually rose, and when Li Zhengqing threw his troops to arrive, Youxian was already an adult in hell.
"The rebel forces have penetrated deep into the bureaucracy of Youxian County, and almost all the officials have been rebelled, so we designed to lure the monarch into the urn, and when Li Zhengqing led the troops to arrive, the way to it has been blocked. Half of those soldiers died of the disease, and half were hanged by the rebels. Li Zhengqing swore to fight to the death, and finally ...... The five horses were split and died. ”
Gu Rin's eyes were already red.
However, the rumors in Beijing are diametrically opposed.
It is rumored that Li Zhengqing collaborated with the enemy to commit treason, and after the enemy's internal turmoil, he died of self-harm.
The Li family was ruined.
The Holy One sets an example.
All the men were killed, and the women were taken as prostitutes.
Gu Rin suppressed the anger in his heart and asked again: "When You County was in turmoil, where was the imperial doctor sent by the imperial court?" Even if the plague cannot be eradicated, it should not be allowed to flourish. ”
Fei Ling replied: "A small number of the doctors sent by the imperial court were rebelled, and most of them were beheaded. ”
Gu Rin got up violently, "Is there a list of rebels?" ”
"This ......" Feiling looked embarrassed: "It's been a long time, and those imperial doctors have not held important positions in the army, I can't remember it clearly." ”
"You try your best to remember, whether it's your last name, your looks, or your age...... As long as you have the slightest memory, tell me everything. ”
Gu Rin instructed the guards next to him again: "You go to the Tai Hospital to retrieve the list of anti-epidemic people who went to You County eleven years ago, remember, don't startle the snake." ”
"Yes."
-------------------------------------
The night was getting thicker, and the autumn wind was blowing, startling a chill.
Gu Rin walked on the top of the corridor, and the guard on the side said, "General, the life experience of Miss Pei that you asked me to check already has an eyebrow." ”
Gu Rin said lightly: "Say." ”
Miss Pei grew up in the suburbs of Luotong County, and was adopted by a family of Mrs. Qiao, and was not taken to Jifu until she was seven years old. The identity of his father and mother is unknown, but it is said that he was a well-known local doctor who left her hometown to travel when Miss Pei was three years old. ”
Gu Rin's eyes narrowed slightly: "It's a doctor again." ”
Obviously they are different identities, two places that are thousands of miles apart, but they are strangely subtlely connected.
The connection between the two seems to have been inadvertently connected by the capital for the second time.
"Check again, check all the whereabouts of her parents for eleven years, I don't believe it's just a coincidence." Gu Rin spoke, turned around and added: "By the way, pay special attention, in the past eleven years, has there been a medical officer surnamed Pei in the Tai Hospital. ”
"Yes."
Gu Rin raised his head, looked at the gloomy and mysterious night sky, chuckled, and walked away.
I'm afraid the sky in the capital is about to change.
Following.
Pei Yungui clicked on the space and found that the progress of the task had become fifteen percent.
She let out a long sigh.
This has to be done in the Year of the Monkey? Is it possible to complain to Gu Rin again?
The door of the firewood room was suddenly opened from the outside, and two guards walked in.
A bad premonition rose in Pei Yungui's heart, and she asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
The guard didn't say a word, only took out a small box from his sleeve and took out a vermilion pill from it.
As soon as Pei Yungui saw it, she felt that the pill was definitely not a good thing, she turned around and wanted to escape, but was restrained by the guards from behind.
"Let go of me!"
Pei Yungui struggled violently.
But her strength is very small in front of the guards.
The guard opened her mouth, stuffed the pill into Pei Yungui's mouth, and forced her to swallow it.
As soon as the pill was entered, a burning sensation rose from Pei Yungui's abdomen and gradually spread to his whole body.
Pei Yungui clutched his stomach and fell to the ground.
It hurts......
The internal organs seemed to be burned by the fire, and after a while, the burning was mixed with tingling, as if thousands of small insects were eating the body.
"You ...... What did I eat? ”
Pei Yungui curled up in pain, his hands were already twitching involuntarily, and fine beads of sweat spread from his face to his neck.
She suddenly couldn't bear it anymore and spat out a mouthful of blood.
In the blur, a pair of black boots fell into view.
Someone crouched down beside her.
The man was talking.
"Miss Pei, give you one last chance to tell the truth." The voice came from Gu Rin, "Last night, why did you appear on Changle Street?" ”
"I ...... I have said countless times that I came to Changle Street, but I just wanted to go...... I went to see you on Shuiyun Street, and I passed by here, and I accidentally saw ...... That scene......"
It's so uncomfortable......
Pei Yungui bit her wrist violently, as if only in this way could she alleviate the pain caused by the pill.
The system must not be supplied, this is her last hole card.
Gu Rin looked at her as if she was looking at a dead object.
"Then you can bear it."
With a "squeak", the firewood was closed again, and the morning light outside the house was cut off.
Inside the house, only a few rays of sunlight squeezed in through the cracks in the window, sprinkled on Pei Yungui's thin body.
