Chapter 17: Broken Bones
One stone room, there is a portrait of a woman hanging on the stone wall in the center, dignified and generous, on the pitch-black incense table below, there are two spiritual seats, white candles are inserted on the black candlesticks on both sides of the spiritual position, 'sizzling' to burn, the dim light, the cold stone wall, make the whole stone room look particularly gloomy.
Ouyang Ze, dressed in black clothes and black robes, with a white cloth belt tied around his waist, slowly picked up three incense sticks, put them on the candle flame and lit them, bowed to the spiritual position three times, and then inserted them into the incense burner in front of him, sighed heavily, with apologies, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm going to disturb you and the child for a while." When I am done, I will make amends to you. ”
The stone door behind him opened, and a person covered in bruises and bound was brought in blindfolded with a black cloth, and Xing Minyun, a disciple of the Dharma Ring who took the lead, replied, "Master, the person has brought it." With that, the two strong men who were holding him knelt down against the man and yelled, 'Be honest!'.
Ouyang Ze raised his hand, Xing Minyun stepped forward to untie his blindfolded black cloth, that person was the stone that was caught, after a while, the stone eased up, looking at the surrounding environment and Ouyang Ze's gloomy face, he couldn't help but shudder. Ouyang Ze walked to the chair on the side and sat down unhurriedly, and his cold voice seemed to come from the Hades Palace, "I haven't seen you for fifteen years, don't come unharmed." ”
The stone shook, and finally recognized that the person who spoke was Ouyang Ze, the head of the Hengshan faction, the stone was eight years older than Li Shijie, fifteen years ago, when Li Muyang led people to sneak into the library pavilion, he also followed him, and the name on the spiritual position 'Hu Ziyun', he also remembered that the guards were pressing step by step that year, and he had to hold Hu Ziyun who inadvertently bumped in, and escaped with Li Muyang.
Thinking of this, the stone sat down on the ground, trembling uncontrollably, Ouyang Ze looked at Xing Minyun and the two strong men under his command standing on the side, intentionally or unintentionally turning the flying eagle bronze ring on his thumb, and said faintly, "I don't have the patience of them, let alone give you time to think about anything, and I only ask once, every time I say a wrong word, a rib on your body will be broken." ”
Stone no longer had the anger he had when he was interrogated, his lips trembling, unable to speak.
"If you don't speak, I'll just say yes. Ouyang Zesen's cool gaze forced over, "First question, your real name." ”
"Shi Bingyi. ”
Ouyang Ze frowned, noncommittal, "Who sent you?"
"No one sent me, I came on my own. ”
The coolness in Ouyang Ze's eyes deepened, and he glanced at Xing Minyun, Xing Minyun understood, reached out against a rib on Shi Bingyi's back, and pulled it back hard, after the sound of the rib breaking, there was a scream, after the scream, Shi Bingyi gasped, trembling his lips and said, "It's our owner Li Muyang." ”
"Who are your accomplices?"
"It's the Floating Shadow, it's he who killed the guards of the Library Pavilion and broke into the inner room to steal the treasure. ”
"Floating shadow?" Ouyang Ze muttered in a low voice, he knew this person, he was a staff member who was bought by Li Muyang, and he acted secretly by the side of Li Shijie, the owner of the young village, and was good at using hidden weapons, and the speed of the secret weapons was extremely fast, but martial arts... Ouyang Ze sneered, waved his hand, and after a miserable scream, another rib was broken.
The two strong men set up Shi Bingyi, who was trembling all over, Ouyang Ze got up and squatted in front of him, his cold fingers grabbed his neck, and said coldly, "Continue with the question just now." ”
After Shi Bingyi gasped, he opened his pale lips and cried, "That's all I know, I watched the floating shadow enter the library and kill the guards, I followed the other entourage to lure away the guards outside, and then I really don't know what happened." ”
"Who else participated in the operation?"
"We're divided into two groups, and the only people I know are me, the Floating Shadow, and a few followers. ”
An imperceptible killing intent appeared on Ouyang Ze's face, "What about your young master Li Shijie?"
"There are no less owners in the plan. Shi Bingyi felt the cold murderous aura, gasping rapidly, crying, and his tone was begging, "I beg you, don't hurt our young master, this matter really has nothing to do with him, I was the one who killed people fifteen years ago, you kill me!"
Ouyang Ze stabilized his emotions, withdrew the murderous aura in his eyes, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not Li Muyang, I won't kill innocents indiscriminately, if I do it, do you think Hongyuan Villa will still exist in the world?"
Shi Bingyi felt the pain between the ribs in his back to his heart and lungs, and he burst into tears, he suddenly hoped that Ouyang Ze would add some strength to his hands and break his neck to end this pain as soon as possible.
But Ouyang Ze seemed to see through his thoughts, his eyes were covered with a layer of coldness, and he sneered, "Sometimes, it is more painful to live than to die. Then he let go of his hand, and his cruel eyes flashed, and he commanded, "Drag it down and break the tendons, and throw it into the dungeon and lock it." ”
Shi Bingyi couldn't help but tremble when he heard this, once the numb tongue was poured in, unless there was an antidote, he couldn't speak or bite his tongue. Coupled with the broken hamstring and locked in the dungeon, this is clearly to make him worse than dead.
After Xing Minyun received the order, he motioned for the two strong men to drag it down to carry it out, and Shi Bingyi shouted loudly, "Ouyang Ze, if you want to kill, you will kill, what kind of ability is it to torture people like this!"
The shouts became smaller and smaller, until he couldn't hear it, Ouyang Ze sat down on the chair, looked at the name on the spiritual seat not far away, and thought of Li Zifeng, who was seriously injured and unconscious, and his life was in danger, he couldn't help but have a sour nose, and two lines of tears slowly flowed.
Hongyuan Villa, Si Cheng Pavilion
The night is like ink, and the cold wind is awe-inspiring.
After the young owner Li Shijie came back, he was ordered by the owner Li Muyang to think about it behind closed doors in the Si Confession Pavilion because of his remarks and disobedience, and he could not come out until he was completely calm. But no matter how heartbroken he was, he didn't reveal half of his doubts about Li Zifeng's life experience to anyone, he wasn't sure, he couldn't judge his life experience just by a purse and Li Zifeng's emotions. Even if he was sure, he couldn't say it, because he knew too much about the grievances between Hongyuan Villa and the Hengshan faction fifteen years ago, and it wouldn't be good for anyone to say it, and the first to bear the brunt was Li Zifeng!
Whether Li Zifeng is his younger brother who fell off the cliff ten years ago, he is willing to protect his safety and care about his situation and feelings, just like when he was a child.
Putting these aside, what Li Shijie is most concerned about now is Shi Bingyi's situation, he is trapped in the Hengshan faction, and he will definitely suffer inhuman torture, and life is worse than death. If Shi Bingyi has any more accidents, then he Li Shijie owes another life.
At this time, a figure flashed by, pushed open the door of the Confession Pavilion, it was his entourage Minghe, Minghe walked to the wooden table with the food box, brought out the food, and said worriedly, "Young master, eat some! ”
The dodge in Minghe's eyes was fully seen by Li Shijie, he walked over, grabbed his wrist and asked, "Is there news about the stone?
Minghe frowned, and pretended to be relaxed, "There is no news yet, young master, don't worry too much." ”
"Tell the truth!" Li Shijie almost roared.
After hearing this, Minghe pursed his lips to hold back his tears, but finally couldn't hold back, and knelt on the ground with a 'plop', "Young Master, stone him... He was tortured, and he was locked in the dungeon by Ouyang Ze with broken hamstrings, I am afraid that it is... No more. ”
The food was pushed to the ground, the dishes and bowls were shattered, his hands were scratched by broken porcelain, and blood gushed out and dripped to the ground along his fingers. Minghe was startled, hurriedly stood up, took out a handkerchief and wrapped Li Shijie's hand, "Young Master, watch out for your hands." ”
After helping Li Shijie simply treat his wounds, Minghe knelt on the ground, cleaning up the debris and food all over the ground. Li Shijie held his breath, smiled bitterly, and said to himself in a deep voice, "The Hengshan faction has finally made a move." Retribution, what retribution!"
After Minghe finished cleaning up, he watched Li Shijie vent his emotions in pain, and was at a loss, "Young Master..."
After heavy breathing, Li Shijie cleaned up his emotions and returned to normal, he calmly looked at the handkerchief stained red with blood, and said in a deep voice, "You go and help me get through, just say that I know my mistake, and I am completely calm, request..." Li Shijie paused and continued, "I ask the owner for forgiveness!"
"Young Master?" Li Shijie's unusually calm and soft voice made Minghe's heart uneasy. Minghe just stood like this, seemingly incapacitated.
After the air stagnated for a long time, Li Shijie exhaled deeply, patted Minghe's shoulder lightly as usual, and said gently, "Don't worry, I'm fine, you can go and pass it!"
"Yes. Minghe put his mind at ease, "If you are wronged for a while, your subordinates will come to pick you up in a while." ”
The door of the Confession Pavilion was closed again, and Li Shijie sat down slowly, falling into thought.
The dungeon of the Hengshan faction, damp and dark, exuding the smell of mildew and rot, Shi Bingyi was restrained by the iron chains cast on the wall and the ground and sat on the ground, every time he moved, it was heartbreaking, his face was twisted tightly in pain, and he couldn't shout loudly, in the struggle, he touched a fragment on the ground, picked it up and looked straight at it, looking at it, he suddenly relaxed and smiled, and silently said in his heart, "Young master... Take care, the stone goes first. ”
The sharp shards cut deep into the wrists, and blood gushed to the ground. Shi Bingyi closed his eyes and gradually lost his breath.
Not far away, Ouyang Ze watched all this silently, frowned, and then sighed......
Xing Minyun, who was beside him, called tentatively, "Master." ”
"Clean him up and find a random place to bury him. ”
"Yes. ”
