Chapter 20: Martial Arts Are Wasted
In the prison, there was no shortage of fierce and vicious servants, who used their power during the day, beating those who were just entering and beating those who were not pleasing to the eye, and also beating those whom they thought were unpleasant, which had long become a regular pastime for prison errands.
Such a day of pastime is bound to consume a large part of their physical strength, so the night becomes their best time to rest.
By this time it was the middle of the night, and they had already fallen asleep, and they could not tell the day from the day.
A group of black-clothed people came quietly, they seemed to know the Jiangnan prison very well, and their techniques were quite skillful.
The three people in front took the lead and knocked out the sleeping officials, but they didn't kill them. Four or five people in the middle surrounded the city and marched forward on full alert. There are six or seven people in the back, specializing in the rear of the palace and emergency response.
Their expressions were highly tense, and every time they entered, one of them stopped to stand sentry.
With such close cooperation, he didn't make a sound, and came to Li Yunshui's cell so easily.
The leader looked left and right, then squatted down, took out a hairpin from his head, and opened the door after dividing it by two.
Li Yunshui suddenly opened his eyes, and saw the man running in front of him with brisk steps, and said eagerly and firmly: "Go!" Follow me! ”
This voice is really familiar, but Li Yunshui did not follow, but said to him: "Ruoyun, I will never forget your kindness." With a friend like you, it's worth it for me to die. However, I don't want to go, but you...... Let's go! ”
Xu Ruoyun was really anxious in his heart, and shouted angrily in a low voice: "Li Yunshui, are you in the water?" You're going to die soon, what's the point? Quick, follow me! ”
After that, as soon as he waved outside, the two men in black came in, and he couldn't help but pick up Li Yunshui and walked out.
Li Yunshui's stop voice, Xu Ruoyun didn't listen to it at all, and just walked forward. Li Yunshui was afraid that the noise would be too loud and wake up those officials and cause unnecessary trouble, but he kept lowering his voice and kept telling him to put down himself and leave quickly, so as not to cause trouble.
After several struggles, Li Yunshui was taken by someone and had already arrived at the door of the prison.
The two black-clothed men in front of them cautiously opened the door, but at that moment, they heard a loud sound, and a large number of arrows shot over.
Xu Ruoyun's heart sank, knowing that the rescue of Li Yunshui had been exposed. At this time, the door has been closed, through the crack in the door, a light is shining outside, I think there are a lot of people coming, ready to catch turtles in an urn.
Sure enough, Xu Pingqiu's teasing voice came: "I expect that this Jiangnan prison will not be peaceful, and you will wait for the chickens and dogs to be thieves, why don't you come out and die soon?" ”
Li Yunshui sighed, with infinite regret: "Brother Ruoyun, it's me...... I've hurt you! ”
Seeing this, Xu Ruoyun calmed down, he came to Li Yunshui and smiled heartily: "Brother Yunshui, it seems that you have a companion on this Huangquan Road." ”
He seemed to be very excited, and said emotionally to the black-clothed people around him: "Brothers, originally everyone was a hero in the army, and it was not a problem to make meritorious contributions, but today I Xu Ruoyun came to this troubled water, which really hurt you!" ”
"I, Xu Ruoyun, can't compensate everyone!"
The black-clothed men surrounded them, and one of them said loudly: "Major General, why do you despise us so much!" We were originally soldiers, what is it to die? Don't say that, we are all good men, and there is probably no difference between the horse leather shroud and the horizontal corpse on the street. ”
These words made the rest of the people in black agree, and they were excited: "Young General, let's rush out together, his uncle, him, how many can live!" ”
"You're all good brothers!" Xu Ruoyun was extremely moved, but he also shook his hand and said: "However, there is no need, Xu Pingqiu just wants the lives of me and Brother Yunshui, I will be arrested, and you can naturally escape." ”
When a few men in black heard this, where could they stand it? At that time, he was about to refute, but was unexpectedly interrupted by Xu Ruoyun: "What are you doing?" Which of you is not a husband, which one is not a father, and which one is not a son? me what! ”
He took out the majesty of leading soldiers in the army and scolded in a low voice: "If I remove my military membership, you won't listen to me when you wait?" ”
The men in black fell silent.
Seeing this, Xu Ruoyun said warmly: "After a while, I will go and talk about the conditions and put you back." After you go out, don't go back to the Tiger Slaughter Camp first, someone at the Yuelai Inn outside the city will pick you up, and you will give you a pension, you can take it, go as far as you want, go back and live a down-to-earth life......"
This tone is already arranging the aftermath. Unconsciously, an aura of pathos enveloped me.
They didn't notice that Li Yunshui had quietly walked to the door, and although his steps were staggering, he was extremely resolute.
He took a breath, slammed the door open, and flew up with a dense stream of arrows.
However, those arrows did not hit, but stayed in the air, even if they were still densely shot behind, but they all stopped in mid-air.
Li Yunshui stood on top of the arrows that were stagnant in the air at this time, looking at the dense arrows and people in front of him, although he was covered in blood, he had a tendency to be untouchable.
But seeing that he spread his arms and drew a circle on the top of his head, then his hands condensed in front of his chest, and his palms were pushed out together, and those arrows suddenly went where they came from, and the sound of pain and shouting sounded, and the people brought by Xu Pingqiu had already fallen down.
"If you don't leave now, when will you stay!" Li Yunshui shouted.
This scene was still in the sparks of calcium carbide, Xu Ruoyun reacted when he heard this, and hurriedly rushed out of the door with everyone, entangled with those who had not yet been hit by the arrow.
The movement is loud.
Li Yunshui in the air fell, staggered on the ground, and it took a long time to stand firm. At the end of this day, his hands and feet were not lightly injured, although the internal strength was profound, but after all, there was the pain of flesh and skin, and it was really ten fingers and hearts.
He looked up and saw that there was still a stalemate in the field, Xu Pingqiu had already pulled out his sword and was about to stab Xu Ruoyun.
Li Yunshui stepped forward quickly, the footsteps were in the air, as if they were treading water, extremely light, and flew to Xu Pingqiu in an instant, punched the back of the sword, and dissolved Xu Ruoyun's crisis, and then raised his right hand and immediately grabbed Xu Pingqiu's neck, holding him high in the air with one hand.
"If you don't want to die, let your people, lay down their weapons and let my friends go." Li Yunshui raised his head, stared at Xu Pingqiu, whose face was pinched and turned the color of pig liver, and said coldly.
Everyone in the audience had already seen this situation clearly, and they had already stopped before Xu Pingqiu could say anything.
Li Yunshui looked at Xu Ruoyun and said, "Hurry up!" ”
Xu Ruoyun also looked at Li Yunshui, anxious, and said, "Let's go!" ”
"Let's go!" Li Yunshui's voice was almost scolding.
"Let's go together!" Xu Ruoyun said in a deep voice, and he was about to come to Li Yunshui.
Xu Pingqiu, who was held by Li Yunshui, moved half of his body, blocking his sight and Xu Ruoyun's sight, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't do anything else, you have to think about your family...... I'm alone, and when I die, I die, what is there to say? ”
Then he urged, "Let's go!" ”
Xu Ruoyun, who was dressed in black and couldn't see his face clearly, stopped in his footsteps, and was annoyed in his heart: "Li Yunshui, Li Yunshui, why are you so stubborn!" ”
In desperation, he had to give the few men in black a look, and then helped each other to the injured people, and quickly disappeared into the vast night.
After Xu Ruoyun and the others left, when he confirmed that he could no longer catch up, he put down Xu Pingqiu in his hand, only feeling that his hands and feet were numb at this time, and he could only maintain a standing posture with this will.
Xu Pingqiu, who was let go, coughed vigorously, looked at Li Yunshui, and said gloomily: "You asked for it!" ”
After that, he ordered someone to step forward and tie Li Yunshui tightly, and then said sharply: "Say!" Who are they? ”
"Naturally, he is a person who shapes the sun, he is naturally a hot-blooded man, and he is naturally ...... A man who has righteousness in his heart. ”
"You, powerful lackey, don't deserve to know their names."
Xu Pingqiu was furious, and stepped forward to punch Li Yunshui in the stomach. The green tendons on Li Yunshui's aching head burst out, but he was stunned and didn't say a word.
"Okay, you're tough! Didn't you cultivate the legendary dragon? Well, I'd like to see it! Xu Pingqiu was furious, "Tie him up for me, I will interrogate him overnight tonight." ”
The sky is bright, and Jiangnan is still the same.
Of course, the interrogation was fruitless, but Li Yunshui had had enough of the torture and became weaker.
After a night of tossing, Xu Pingqiu didn't ask anything, but was ridiculed by Li Yunshui, so he had to leave in a huff.
"I'm going to see your head rolling on the ground with my own eyes, and see if you're still so hard-mouthed!"
Three days, it passed quickly.
It has been a long time since no one in Jiangnan has been executed on the street, and at this time, someone is going to be beheaded, which naturally caused a great sensation and attracted the people of the whole city to watch.
When Li Yunshui, who was dying, was escorted out of the prison, he saw Xu Pingqiu waiting with a few officers and soldiers from a distance, as well as Zhu Jie, who was a famous person.
When Li Yunshui was escorted to several people, several people also stared at Li Yunshui. Xu Pingqiu is resentful, but what about Zhu Jie? pronounced a Buddha horn, turned to the two of them-
"My lord, Li Yunshui has superior martial arts, and no one in the rivers and lakes can beat him. Today he is about to be beheaded to pay for the lives of those who died unjustly, and it is rightfully deserved. ”
"It's just that these shackles and handcuffs, where can they trap him? The little monk is worried about extraneous branches! ”
Xu Pingqiu glanced at Li Yunshui, who lowered his head, like a pig looking at a dog, and smiled fiercely on his face: "So, what does the master think?" ”
"In my opinion, his martial arts are abolished. This is the safest way! ”
After that, he seemed to feel that this remark did not conform to his demeanor as a senior monk, and said as if he was a little justified: "The little monk is also thinking about the overall situation, like a repeat offender like him, if there is an accident in the court, how can we explain to the emperor and the people of the world?" ”
Xu Pingqiu smiled heartily and stretched out his hand to wave: "Then it's troublesome master." ”
Li Yunshui on the side naturally heard these words, he raised his head, only looked at Zhu Jie, and smiled miserably: "Senior brother, killing people and punishing your heart is really your forte, junior brother only hates, why didn't you recognize your face as soon as possible?" ”
Zhu Xie didn't respond, pronounced a Buddha horn, suddenly stretched out his hands, pinched Li Yunshui's hands, and a "click" sounded, and his hands were broken. kicked out two more kicks, and Li Yunshui suddenly fell straight back, his feet ...... Broken.
However, Zhu Xie did not let Li Yunshui fall backwards, stretched out a hand to grasp Li Yunshui's chest, pulled it over vigorously, and slapped Li Yunshui's head with another palm.
No matter how amazing Li Yunshui's willpower was, he couldn't bear the severe pain, and immediately bled from his mouth and nose and passed out. The two officials beside him stepped forward to grab Li Yunshui, dragged the soft and collapsed body, and walked towards the execution ground.
Zhu Xie looked at Li Yunshui's back, pronounced another Buddha name, and then said to Xu Pingqiu: "The hands and feet are broken, the dantian has been shattered, and now this person's martial arts are all wasted...... It's foolproof. ”
"Amitabha, good, good."
When Li Yunshui was woken up by a noisy sound, he was already kneeling on the execution ground, his head pressed by the strong executioner on the half-cut stake, waiting for the order of the prison officer.
Due to Luo Weiping's resignation, there is really no one to be found in today's supervision and beheading, but there must be such a role, so Xu Pingqiu and Zhu Xie decided to jointly supervise and behead after repeatedly confirming that the confession and drawing were correct.
At that moment, the two of them sat in front of a desk in the open air, waiting for three o'clock in the afternoon.
The crowd grew larger and louder, and the shouting and scolding continued.
They are so indignant, they all feel that Li Yunshui is an unforgivable sinner, and it is really natural to be punished today.
After scolding, he was still angry, and the rotten vegetable leaves in his hand and the stones on the ground were smashed in twos and threes.
The more Xu Ruoyun looked at it, the more unpleasant it became, and he was angry in his heart, and beat up the men who threw the most vegetable leaves, but unexpectedly fell into a bigger whirlpool, and a group of people rushed forward and scuffled with them.
"Li Gongzi, you are really ...... It's so wronged! Old man...... I'm sorry for you! A somewhat old voice came, although the voice was not loud, but the people of Jiangnan Mansion were very familiar with it, it was the former Jiangnan Mansion Yin Luo Weiping, the parent official who once made them respect.
In the crowd, consciously make a way.
Luo Weiping took three steps and two steps, walked quickly to Li Yunshui, took out the rotten vegetable leaves for him, rolled up his clothes, and gently wiped the blood on his face, the more he wiped it, the more sad he became, the more he wiped it, the more powerless he became, and he couldn't help but cry: "Li Gongzi, I'm ...... I'm really sorry for you! ”
Li Yunshui's head was held down all the time, his hands and feet were in severe pain, and his head was also mushy, but at this time, he was unusually calm, and he smiled, and said softly: "Lord Luo, you really don't have to blame yourself, I believe in your own opinion."
"You...... We will see the day when the truth will be revealed. ”
"You're getting older, but you have to pay attention to the warmth!"
Luo Weiping was extremely sad, stood up with difficulty, and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, you come to comment, I have been in charge of Jiangnan for many years, have there ever been any injustices?" ”
The crowd was silent.
Luo thought to himself...... No, but today's unjust case was handled by my own hands, and I am really ashamed of my father and the court! ”
"Only ...... Only death can be used to apologize! ”
After that, he turned his head sideways, quickly ran to the stone pillar next to him, and hit it, and saw that he had the heart to die.
Xu Ruoyun's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly flew forward, grabbed Luo Weiping, and couldn't stop comforting.
For a while, the two looked at each other, both sad and infinite.
And Luo Weiping's words actually played a role, and there seemed to be a different voice in the crowd. They even found that there were still a few people interspersed with it, loudly spreading the inside information they had received.
It is said that all this is because of the bamboo solution, and those heinous things were all done by this monk alone. On the contrary, Li Yunshui, who was deep in the matter, was afraid of brotherhood and didn't want his senior brother's future to be affected, so he took it himself.
When someone started to start, it naturally spread, and for a while, the crowd was talking about it, and gradually there was a momentum of excitement. Looking at this situation, even if Li Yunshui is cut down today, those rumors will be like a plague, and sooner or later they will go out of Jiangnan and spread to a larger area.
Seeing this, Xu Pingqiu hurriedly reprimanded, and several officials moved when they heard the order, and immediately caught those few people who spread rumors.
Under the deterrence, the crowd regained its calm, as if it had forgotten what had just happened, and waited for the announcement of "cut and decide".
Zhu Jie's eyes were sharp, and he always felt that the people who were arrested were a little familiar, as if they had seen them somewhere.
Where?
Where?
A few images came to mind, and suddenly my eyes lit up, I was cold, and I sank.
- Jiangnan Weaving House!
