Book Anger Chapter Ninety-Nine: Dignity in the Dust
Wu Xuenian originally thought that Zhou Niangu handed him just a few simple demon sect thieves, but he didn't expect that the things involved in it were quite deep, but these were not the point, the point was that Wu Xuenian saw a person, a person he didn't expect - the Inspectorate Zuodu Yushi Yuanchen.
Yuanchen is a very complicated person, no one knows how he became the imperial history of Zuodu, and an inexplicable edict came to power, which caused all those guys who were gearing up to be poured a basin of cold water.
Originally, these people thought that this was a secret talent that the emperor Lao'er had hidden for many years, and there must be something extraordinary.
If this is the case, it doesn't hurt, what kind of ability to hold what position, that's also human nature, but after a few years, this is not the case at all.
This guy doesn't have those amazing operations, he likes to carry a bird cage every day to walk the birds and have fun, and he also deals with political affairs hastily, as long as there are no major problems, he doesn't care about it at all.
If others don't do practical things, they have to pretend to be good, and lie on the credit book to get a little credit, but Yuanchen is not like this at all, he doesn't even want a little credit, and the credit thrown on his face is evaded, lest he avoid it.
The subordinates below also complained about this, it is one thing not to be greedy for merit, it is one thing not to be able to be greedy for merit, and it is another thing not to want to be greedy for merit, and when you meet a commander who does not want to make progress, it is purely to torture these subordinates.
There are still a lot of people in a group of them who want to be promoted and make a fortune, but in Yuanchen's hands, they can only be in an embarrassing situation where they are more than enough than the top, which always makes people feel aggrieved.
Wu Xuenian is curious, how did the Inspectorate Zuodu Yushi and Dali Siqing come together, you must know that the different positions of Xuanling have always been strictly separated, and the petty officials are fine, as long as they are not too out of line, they will turn a blind eye.
But the big officials are treated differently, as long as there is the slightest hint, they will be severely punished.
Not to mention that one of the highest officials of the Inspectorate and one of the highest governors of Dali Temple is not, if it is known by some good deeds, it may cause a lot of turmoil.
If you want to say that Zhou Niangu will not know the rules here, and know the law and break the law, Wu Xuenian will never believe it, then he has to think about the things in it, the meaning in it is so deep that it is definitely not simple.
Yuanchen was dressed very simply, even too simply, only a green shirt, a pair of cotton shoes, and even the gentleman did not carry a piece of jade pendant for no reason, he glanced at Wu Xuenian and said with a smile: "You have picked a good seedling, and you are a talent who should naturally mix in the officialdom." ”
Zhou Niangu was silent, which could be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
Officialdom is good at observing words and feelings, and is accustomed to pondering the pros and cons, these are all necessary conditions.
After a while, he said, "Let's go, let's go see those little minions." ”
Although the infiltration of the Demon Sect into the mainland has never stopped, it has always been cautious, and it must be too big to be caught by Xuanlin this time, and it can't be hidden.
Therefore, this interrogation is very important, and if you are lucky, you may be able to get a lot of good information.
The three of them quietly came to the Hutou Gate, and before they entered the inside, they heard the miserable screams of the infiltrating people, and they were terrified and their hairs stood upside down!
As I walked inside, a foul smell came to my face, which was disgusting!
Prisoners will inevitably become incontinent after being subjected to inhuman means, and it is normal for prison to smell bad.
Further inside, the flesh was scattered all over the ground, blood flowing, and the flesh was blurred.
Because the blood stains were dry, even the ground was sticky, and every step was like walking in a swamp, and the feet were slippery and greasy.
If the average petty official couldn't stand this disgusting, he would have spit out all the bile a long time ago. But the three of them are obviously not ordinary petty officials, except for Wu Xuenian, who has to cover his mouth and nose slightly, the others are completely like no one.
Inside, a bare-chested, five-year-old and three-year-thick jailer was wielding the long whip in his hand, and in front of him was a guy who had already been stripped naked and had a gloomy face, all of which were covered with horrific scars, but the scars were slowly recovering.
"Boom!" was whipped down again, leaving a bloody mark on the prisoner's already bloody skin!
"Say, what are you planning to come to Xuanling, and what is your purpose!?" Every time the man swung out a whip, a jailer next to him forced a question, "If you don't say anything more, we will definitely make your life worse than death!"
Who knew that the Demon Sect disciple was also fierce, although the whip would still cry out in pain when it was waved on his body and mouth, but as soon as the important whip stopped, there was no trace of fear at all.
He grinned, and shouted: "Light, light! Have you eaten, the maids who beat my back for my master are stronger than you, so let's get rid of the thing below as soon as possible, and don't say that I am a master...... Ahh
Before he finished speaking, he was whipped firmly, and under the pain, he screamed and broke out in a cold sweat!
Waiting for a whip to play, he raised his head again, and said with a smile: "Waste, this little bit of strength, tickling?"
In response, there was still a fierce whip, and there was a fierce sound in the air!
Zhou Niangu kept watching the jailer wielding his whip and sighed: "Alas, sure enough, cultivators are powerful, if this is smoked on mortals, they will die a long time ago and can't die anymore!"
Yuanchen also responded: "But it's not, look at this guy again, the wounds on his body are still slowly healing, it's just amazing! ”
Wu Xuenian was curious, "Didn't you say that the people in the Demon Sect are all a group of outlaws? It stands to reason that outlaws are the most life-sparing and selfish, how can they be willing to keep such a little secret?"
Zhou Niangu replied: "There are two reasons, one is because he is not stupid, he knows that he will die if he says it or not, it is better to hold on to it, and he can live for a while." The second is that the Demon Sect is of great significance to some Demon Cultists, and it may be said that it is a family. ”
Although most of the people in the Demon Sect kill people and set fires to do all kinds of evil, they are often a group of people who are drifting around like this, and everyone shouts and beats, as long as they are given spiritual support, it is a general belief and it is difficult to shake.
You must know that everyone is like this, and few people can really be alone and not love the world. Often, as long as a person is given a reason to live, it is as if giving life.
At this time, the jailer next to him came over and said with a guilty face: "All the methods of the adults have been used, there is really no way, this guy is hard-mouthed and is from that martial artist, and it hurts on the skin when he fights back and forth, and he can't knock out a word!"
Zhou Niangu nodded, he didn't blame this person, after all, it was normal for a mortal body to be difficult to deal with a cultivator.
Isn't it true that cultivation in the end is to surpass mortals, and if you can't stand the suffering of mortals, then there is no point in cultivating.
He walked over to the guy and signaled that he didn't need to wave the whip, and that Yuanchen and Wu Xuenian followed.
Since there is no way to do it in terms of flesh and skin, then defeat him psychologically!
Zhou Niangu looked at the guy with pity, and said leisurely: "I sometimes really admire you guys, what you work so hard to protect is just a piece of in the eyes of others, is it necessary to do this?"
The other person's eyes were arrogant, and he said indifferently: "Don't you talk nonsense, if you want to kill or chop it, if you blink your eyebrows, I'm you!"
"Eh!" Since the other party didn't care, he didn't care, but in an instant, his face changed greatly, "Bah, bah, you do me?
"Cut!" the Demon Cult prisoner sneered, not enough to make him even angry.
"Alas, forget it!" Zhou Niangu saw that the other party still looked like a hanger, sighed, and said to Yuanchen next to him, "Tell me, what did his accomplice say!"
Yuan Chen just said four words lightly, "One hundred thousand mountains!"
The Demon Cult's pupils shrank suddenly, but in an instant they returned to normal, and they simply closed their eyes.
Zhou Niangu knew that he had made the right bet, and motioned for Yuanchen to continue: "Grass and trees!"
The other party didn't move, just quietly clenched the hand behind his back!
"Demon Clan!"
The other party is still indifferent.
"Alas!" Zhou Niangu sighed again, "Is it ridiculous? Is it interesting to pretend to be calm? Is it nice to be betrayed by someone closest to you? It's just that some people still think how noble and righteous they are, how humble they are." It's just a local chicken and tile dog that came out of a cage, don't you feel pitiful for giving yourself a lofty name?"
"When do you Shanze Yexiu need other people's charity to live, have you ever thought that these irreplaceable things for you are just the pity of others who are insignificant!"
The other party finally couldn't support it anymore, and scolded: "You know a fart, why do you say that we are Feiyu Peak? You are a guy who has never experienced anything, what qualifications do you have to stand on a high place to comment on us?!"
Zhou Niangu's eyes were more merciful, and he didn't hide it, "Yo yo yo! Look at you, poke at the sore spot, pitiful, pitiful, is it meaningful to maintain such a little dignity that is humble to the dust? Think about it carefully, what does the Demon Sect provide for you in addition to providing you with a place to hide from reality, and what does he really pay for you?"
The other party fell silent, and when you think about it, it seems that this is indeed the case, and they just
"As for providing a place, it's ridiculous, it's like a shopkeeper running an inn, seeing that you are pitiful, he will take you to work, provide you with a place to live, and don't give you wages, and you are full of gratitude that the other party saved your life, but in fact, the other party just likes your physical strength and wants you to contribute without using money!"
"Tut-tut, who wouldn't be happy to do such a deal, there is simply no more profitable business than this, providing a tattered place, harvesting a large group of fools who are willing to work for me, very comfortable. ”
A tear slowly passed through the corner of the other person's eye, followed by tears.
Zhou Niangu was about to crush the last line of defense in his heart, and continued: "Their ultimate goal is just to want someone to go forward and die for them on the basis of wishful thinking! Where did you come from, what does it matter if you live or die?! With so many Demon Sect disciples caught, how many of them were rescued? No! What you worked so hard to support has never taken you into account!"
The man seemed to have lost all his spiritual energy at once, and he wanted to refute but had no way at all, just drooped his head and suddenly lost his mind.
Zhou Niangu glanced at the jailer, who understood and let him go, and then he was like a puddle of mud, and the whole person fell to the ground, completely motionless.
Zhou Niangu said: "Send his accomplices up, let him take a good look at how the person he trusted so much and was even willing to give his life betrayed him." ”
After saying that, a few people left.
Zhou Niangu took the two of them out of Hutoumen and waited for news in the backyard of Dali Temple.
It didn't take long for the jailer to get the word that the guy had recruited everything and killed the accomplice.
Wu Xuenian said with a wry smile: "Mr. also said that it was handed over to me two Demon Sect disciples, but you solved it alone, and there was nothing to do with me at all!"
Although he said so, he actually knew Zhou Nianggu's good intentions in his heart, what Zhou Niangu wanted was that he could learn some skills in interrogating prisoners in the process, to tell the truth, he understood a lot!
Zhou Niangu was obviously a little tired, so he wrote out a list casually, handed it to Wu Xuenian and said, "Now! Here you go! I know that you want to have something to do, and now that the thing is coming, you have to do it well!"
Wu Xuenian took the list and glanced at it, slightly surprised, and after calming down, he returned to his original hippie smiling face and said, "My subordinates will definitely not live up to Mr.'s trust!"
Zhou Niangu rubbed his eyebrows, waved his hand and said, "You go and get busy with yours, I still have something to discuss with Yuanchen." ”
Wu Xuenian retreated, and Yuan Chen, who had been silent, spoke: "It seems that you have high expectations for him, and you actually leave these things to him to do, why do you want him to take your place?"
Zhou Niangu glanced at him, and then asked regardless of the other party's knowingness, "These are all small things, with Qingcheng Mountain, the demon clan can't make any big waves, even if it is connected with the Demon Sect, it is not enough, it is not surprising." I just want him to go through the experience. ”
Yuanchen nodded, it is true that this kind of thing is still not enough to see.
