The Triangle Horse is a very simple torture instrument.

As the name suggests, it is a triangular wooden frame, which makes the prisoner cut his hands backwards, straddle the sharp ridge, and then hang his feet in the air, and then hang a heavy object and tear downward.

......

A corner of the Xiaoshui Department, a temporary prison.

Gu Laosan, who was tied to the wooden horse, tried hard to open his eyes.

The prison is dark.

I saw two vague shadows hidden in the shadows in the distance, and in the near distance there was only a white-skinned prison with a gloomy expression.

The prisoner was carrying two sandbags in his hands, hanging them on Gu Laosan's two ankles in an orderly manner, and when he saw the wooden ridge digging deep into the flesh, he asked slowly:

"Why do you kill?"

Gu Laosan shuddered and didn't say a word.

The prisoner's expression did not change, and he took two more sandbags and hung them up, still saying:

"Why do you kill?"

Gu Laosan was swinging all over, sweating like rain, and finally couldn't bear the sharp pain of tearing, and muttered:

"I didn't kill anyone. ”

The prisoner added sandbags with the same movements, and asked in the same tone:

"Why do you kill?"

Gu Laosan howled miserably, the dim urine flowed along the Trojan horse, and he said intermittently:

"I'm not killing anyone, it's the lady who is sick, and I'm treating her. ”

The prison is just a sandbag, or a sentence.

"Why do you kill?"

Gu Laosan's expression was already a little dazed, and his mouth was slurred.

Lang Zhong said that the backyard was buried with severed roots. ”

The jailer lifted the sandbag again.

"Alright. ”

Li Changan stepped out of the shadows and stopped the torture from continuing.

It is contradictory and even hypocritical, but it can be said that the Taoist priest who kills people can't stand this torture technique.

He beckoned his prisoner to untie Gu Laosan together.

It's not that the bodhisattva's heart has been touched for no reason, but there are indeed doubts.

"You just said you were sick, what kind of illness, and who is Langzhong?"

Gu Laosan's eyes were dim, and the focus of his eyes was hesitant in the void.

"Twelve years ago, at the Dionysian Festival, at the end of the waterways dotted with painted boats, I saw snow balls for the first time. There were dimly lit and there were fewer pedestrians, and she stood alone on the deserted painting boat, jumping over and over again, wrists, ankles, necks, and behind her ears...... Pale pink skin glows in the dim light......"

He was confused and babbled a lot, probably an old-fashioned story of "you are cheap" and "tian dog". Because someone has been in a bad mood recently, he doesn't like to make up some affairs between men and women, so there is no need to mention it in detail.

All in all, the Taoist priest also saw that this person was tortured, and after being unconscious, he fell into some kind of reminiscence, and poured a bucket of cold water on him.

He trembled, his eyes condensed again, looked at the silent prison next to him, hesitated for a while, and still answered Li Changan's question.

"My lady was not the current character, she was immersed in the yin party for too long and contracted the disease. ”

"Yin disease!"

"Lang Zhong said that to cure this disease, it must be like treating a festering wound, to release pus and blood, and then scrape off the carrion, so that it can slowly change back to its original appearance......"

"Fuck you!"

Bo Ziyu finally couldn't help but rush out of the shadows, with three points of sudden realization and seven points of anger on his face.

"What a vicious heart, to cure your Rausch disease, even if you go to slaughter your prodigal mother-in-law, why do you use innocent people as pus, blood and rotten flesh?!"

"Healing, I think it's curing your resentment. ”

Gu Laosan looked up at Bo Ziyu for a while, but slowly buried his face.

"I didn't kill anyone. ”

"You ......" Bo Ziyu was so angry that he grabbed the whip of torture and was about to whip him to open his skin (harmony).

Then.

There was a "crunch" door.

But it was a young man dressed up, with a frame of skylight, and recklessly broke into the prison.

The three of them stood in the depths of the dark and miserable prison surrounded by torture instruments, and their eyes turned to them for a moment, but the young man was startled, and he called out in a heel.

"Thin squad leader. ”

Bo Ziyu frowned, but he remembered that the bones dug up in the backyard of the cooked meat workshop were all taken back to the yamen, and let the servants splice and inspect them.

"If you find anything, let's talk about it quickly. ”

But there was hesitation on the young man's face.

"I can't tell for a while...... "The hesitation on his face slowly turned into panic and doubt, as if he remembered something incomprehensible, "My master asked the head of the team to take a look for himself." ”

......

The mortuary is located in the most remote part of the office.

Bo Ziyu took Li Changan around the two corridors, and came to a secluded and old courtyard, with three tiled houses in the courtyard, and large vines and roses crawling all over the walls, even if the flowers and branches were swaying and fragrant, they could not hide the strange smell that was difficult to get rid of in the hospital.

And at the door of the main house, where the smell was the strongest, a little old man who looked like a man was pacing back and forth with his hands forked, his face full of fear.

Seeing Bo Ziyu coming, he split his head and said a sentence.

"Bo Bantou, Xiao Lao'er and your uncle have also been friends for more than ten years. Now, tell me the truth. ”

Bo Ziyu didn't know why.

The old man had already asked in a low voice, "Are the rumors in the city true recently?"

Although the matter of the demon mutiny is not a secret in the yamen, on the surface, the old men have orders, which inevitably leads to the instability of the people, and they still refuse to announce it to the public.

This also made Bo Ziyu difficult to answer for a while.

But this old man is not living in vain for such a long time.

"Good. ”

He waved his hand, already clear.

"You don't have to say it, and you don't have to ask anymore. ”

Let's talk about it.

Beckoned a few people into the house.

"I've put together the corpses...... Alas. ”

As he spoke, he sighed inexplicably and lifted the white cloth covering the corpse.

"See for yourselves. ”

In the middle of the room were several straw mats, on which were eight preliminarily assembled skeletons.

Bo Ziyu took a look at it and didn't find anything, but he recognized that the eight bones were all women, and secretly hated Gu Laosan's viciousness.

But when I looked closer, my eyes widened.

These bones are exactly the same regardless of height, size, skull size, and wrist bone thickness!

Just as there are no two identical leaves, there can be no two identical skeletons, unless......

Bo Ziyu is short of breath (harmony).

remembered Gu Laosan's ominous words.

Beside him, Li Changan had already turned around with his sword and rushed back.

"Then there is something wrong with the Gu Tian clan!"

......

"Ran away?!"

Bo Ziyu's eyes spewed (harmonious) fire, and he couldn't wait to eat the official in front of him who was responsible for guarding the Gu Tian family and the Zhang family brothers.

"No, no, no. ”

The servant was busy pleading.

"It's because our agency is too small, Zhang Dalang invited Gu Tian's family home and detained him on his behalf. ”

Bo Ziyu looked incredulous.

I don't know if it was because this official was too stupid to believe such nonsense, or because this official was too bold to dare to fool him with such nonsense.

Detaining?

It's clear that the witness ran away with the suspect!

"Thin squad leader. ”

Another guard next to him cried out.

"It's not that we don't know anything, but there are a few people in this city who dare to provoke him. He Zhang Tong wants to leave, who is going to take him away, who dares to stop the little ones, and how can he stop them?"

The guard said with a grin.

"Besides, the culprit Gu Laosan has already been brought to justice, so what can Gu Tian's female stream do?"

"Female streamer, she is most likely a demon ......"

At this point, Bo Ziyu stopped in a hurry, and pointed his finger at the two old fritters who were not afraid of boiling water.

"I'll clean you up when I go back. ”

He knew that no matter how much he scolded these two people, it would be useless, so he had to scold helplessly, and then commanded sharply:

"Show me that Gu Laosan, if there is a bad pool, I will cut your job!"

That's it.

Gather people.

chased in the direction of Zhang's house.

............

What kind of youkai is this time?

mixed in the fast hunting team, rampage on the streets of Xiaoshui, and rushed to Zhang's house.

Li Changan thought about it repeatedly.

The eight identical corpses undoubtedly "deserved" to belong to the same "person", and to do so, should they be reborn, doppelgangers, or simply deliberately created bones?

What are the monsters that have similar supernatural powers?

Earthworms, geckos, or potatoes or stuff like that?

"Tai Sui is a demon. ”

Tai Sui?!

No, it should refer to the meat Ganoderma lucidum.

A stirring spirit in the Taoist priest's brain suddenly became transparent.

Truly.

If it's a Tai Sui demon, it makes sense.

The monsters who are like to transform into beautiful women, and the illusionary men absorb the essence, which is quite in line with the prodigal style of the Gu Tian clan.

Moreover, the meat Ganoderma lucidum, or the meat and the flesh, are inexhaustible in themselves, and they are inexhaustible in their own right, and they must be able to "regenerate" without waiting for leisure......

Wait a minute.

Li Changan turned his head expressionlessly.

A thin official next to him, his lips opened and closed, and he said silently:

"It's me. ”

Yu Mei!

For a moment, Li Changan was a little impetuous.

This guy usually doesn't see anyone, but whenever there is a monster, he will appear.

Li Changan really wondered if the other party had used any means to spy on him, or if there was another way to detect demons, and the original night fog to distinguish demons was all nonsense!

In any case, the Taoist priest had little patience for this mysterious "ally".

But Yu Mei can always pick the right time, knowing this node, Li Changan has no time to worry about her.

Just because, in front of the group was a high-walled compound, and there was a sign hanging on the false gate.

Zhang's house.

"Dao Chief, it's here. ”

Bo Ziyu reminded loudly and broke into the door first.

There is a courtyard at the entrance.

Zhang Shaonan is leading a group of evil teenagers to play leaf play.

When I saw the catchers, I was not surprised, I just threw the toys in my hand and called my friends to stop them.

There are people in the wicked boy who laugh.

"Isn't this the head of the thin team, rare guest, what's the cost of coming to the door in person?"

Bo Ziyu was so anxious that his mouth was bubbling, where did he have the leisure to talk nonsense with these scoundrels, and asked directly:

"What about Gu Tian's family?"

Laugh-hee-ha-ha

"Where's Zhang Tong?"

The other side scolded and scolded.

He stomped his feet and led people to break in, but Zhang Shaonan took the lead to push and shove.

The two sides are noisy, you push me, mother-in-law and mother-in-law, Li Changan is very impatient.

Suddenly.

The Taoist priest rushed up, crashed into the pile of people opposite, grabbed Zhang Shaonan's arm, cut his arm to his back sideways, and then kicked his knee, Zhang Shaonan involuntarily fell to the ground.

He was stunned, and then furious.

struggled a few times, but he couldn't get out, and only turned his face into the color of pig liver.

The two brothers roamed the market all the year round, and asked themselves how they had ever suffered such humiliation?

But before he could exit, he was casually lifted out by Li Changan and hit the foot of the wall, almost not getting angry.

This sudden out, the evil teenagers who were still clamoring just now suddenly died down.

In their opinion, even Zhang Shaonan, who injured one arm, is still a very powerful character.

As a result, he was overturned by the Taoist priest with the hair.

All of a sudden.

Inevitably, shortness of breath.

Li Changan didn't bother to guess the subtlety in his heart, his eyes wandered around, and he caught a pleasing pull in the evil boy.

"Where are Zhang Tong and Gu Tian?"

Bo Ziyu also pulled a group of officials to surround him at the right time, which frightened the poor man into trembling and urinating, and sold Zhang Tong clean in a daze.

"Da Lang and Xue Tuan'er are happy in the back hall. ”

Bo Ziyu sneered.

"A scoundrel is a scoundrel! Doing such pickled things as the wife of a prostitute, but doing the shitty work of guarding the door with his own brother. ”

Anyway, let this man go.

Ignore the scoundrels who opened the dyeing workshop with a pale face.

beckoned everyone to catch quickly, and hurried to the backyard.

......

"Bang!"

Backyard wings.

The door was kicked open.

Li Changan and Bo Ziyu broke into the door with swords and swords.

Can be a second.

One frowned, the other gritted his teeth.

The large wing room was empty, and a four-legged bed against the wall was spilled with specks of blood, and the overly messy bedding indicated that there had been a brief struggle (not dirty).

The windows on the west wall were wide open, facing the dim red twilight sky outside.

The light of day is running out.

Zhang Tong and Gu Tian have disappeared.

"Thief!"

At this time, there was an angry shout in the courtyard, and Zhang Shaonan broke into the door with a knife to find the field.

But as soon as I entered the door, I was taken aback.

"Where's my eldest brother?"

"Stupid! Gu Tian is a monster. ”

Bo Ziyu sneered.

"Your brother is even more stupid, let that monster be taken away!"

............

Time has passed a moment.

Xiaoshui Department.

Looking at the back of Bo Ziyu hurriedly walking away, the guard spat and spit.

"Tsk, what a big official authority, so that people who don't know what to do hear it, and they think this guy is the county lieutenant. ”

With that, he brushed a few more handfuls of his short beard and asked his companion, who had been reprimanded with him:

"That guy is only halfway through the conversation, what are you going to say?"

Companion smiles.

"Probably a youkai. ”

"Huh, youkai!"

He snorted, then lowered his voice and winked at him.

"It's the best monster, eat all the Zhang brothers, then won't my gambling debts be written off?"

The guard grinned and reached out to tapped his companion on the shoulder.

But the companion took a small step back.

Just half a step.

But it seems to have retreated from the painting to the outside of the painting.

Obviously, the agency is still the same agency, and the person is still the same person, but it seems to have been cut off from the world.

The guard's hand froze in mid-air.

It's half a ring.

I scratched my head.

It seems that he doesn't understand why he is standing here alone in a daze, and he raises his hands in a daze.

Eventually, he put that thought behind him, muttered a few words, and turned away.

And the companion, with a shallow smile on his face, walked calmly and walked towards the prison.

............

Gu Laosan curled up in the corner.

Darkness, weakness and pain flooded him like a tidal wave.

In a trance, colorful pictures are laid out in front of me.

He remembered the girl's gorgeous solo dance on the painting boat.

I remember when I was young, I just wanted a smile from a beautiful woman.

I remember the red candle shining on the wedding night.

I remember that my wife lingered at night when she was away.

I remember the gossip in the neighborhood.

I remember the repeated questioning of the pale prisoner.

"Why do you kill?"

I didn't kill anyone...... Is it?

Another voice in his heart told him.

No.

You killed someone.

You killed your lady and killed Xue Tuan'er.

Thereupon.

He remembered the desperate glimpse on the other side of the painting boat at this year's Dionysian festival.

I remember the fury of my wife with both hands around her neck.

I remember the smile of his wife in his hand, just like when I first met.

I remember that he hugged his wife's gradually cold body, howling to find a doctor, but bumped into the Lang Zhong who seemed to have been waiting for a long time at the door.

Lang Zhong told him that his wife was not dead, but sick.

Right.

He told himself.

Just sick.

"It's a shame. ”

A flat voice suddenly sounded in the darkness.

"Seeing that you are about to heal your wife, you stop at the last step. ”

Gu Laosan looked up in surprise.

It was dark all around, but the face was exceptionally clear.

"Lang Zhong?"

The face in the darkness smiled and bowed.

Gu Laosan's lips moved a few times, and finally said bitterly: "I can't get out, can you help me cure Xue Tuan'er's illness?"

"Yes. ”

But that face showed a distressed look again.

"It's just that the Taoist priest has already gone to find your lady, and if they find him, he will naturally not be treated. ”

That's it.

In Gu Laosan's stunned eyes, that face was full of smiles.

"Do you want to save her?"
