If only there was a notice of lifting the ban -_-)

Hearing that there were people behind them, the two of them turned around, and it was Su Wenwen who knelt on the ground and sobbed, and there were also a few blood stains on his body, especially on the wrists and ankles, obviously he had also been detained and tortured, but the man standing quietly next to him made Lin Jianlan never think that it was Qin Tianxiong, the deputy leader of the Kuangyi Gang, and then looked at the person lying on the ground, he already understood seven or eight points in his heart, "boring", the sword came out of the sheath and pointed directly at Qin Tianxiong and said: "You, what happened to Xie Xun?"

Qin Tianxiong was stunned for a moment, and then there was a playful look in his eyes, and he said: "I didn't think about him, but what position Lin Gongzi stood on at this time, I was quite interested." As soon as the words fell, he was pushed aside by Yuan Xingjian, this force was very great, Rao is martial arts he couldn't help but stand unsteadily, just about to speak, seeing Yuan Xingjian's expression, he also showed a little sadness and sympathy.

Xie Zhongju was lying quietly on the ground at this time, Yuan Xingjian bent down and helped him up, seeing that his delicate and handsome face had lost his vitality, but a pair of phoenix eyes were still open, there seemed to be tears next to his eyes, his lips were tightly pursed, there were still blood stains on the corners of his mouth, and his face was pale and terrible. The layers of blood on the clothes were either dried or wet, and it was evident that he was still suffering from unknown torture just before his death.

The atmosphere was terrible and silent, but no one squeaked, even if Su Wenwen next to him was extremely sad, he never let go of his throat and cried, only tears crackled on the ground like broken beads, and his hands were tightly grasping the ground, and the fingernails were also mottled with blood.

After a while, Yuan Xingjian shook Xie Zhong's shoulder, and said softly: "Now that as many as ninety percent of the people of the righteous army have taken silver from you and returned to their hometowns to farm, no one in the south of the Yangtze River does not know Xie Qingtian's name, and when he is about to finish, how can he ...... How...... Didn't I confess everything to you, don't die easily?" Speaking of this, the circles under his eyes were already red, and the amplitude of the shaking became bigger and bigger.

Lin Jianlan saw this scene, his heart was already like a knife, seeing that Xie Zhongju's body on Yuan Xingjian's knees was becoming thinner and thinner, and the shoulders that had carried the life of the people of Sanwu now seemed even more unbearable, seeing Xie Zhong's hair messy, a head with his eyes open, and a slender neck swaying left and right with Yuan Xingjian's irrational swaying, he couldn't help crying all of a sudden, and choked up: "Brother Yuan, you ...... Don't be so ......"

I don't know if I heard this sentence or what, Yuan Xingjian's movements stopped abruptly, his eyes were a little hooked, his body shuddered, one hand was released from Xie Zhong's shoulder, and he trembled and went deep into Xie Zhong's neckline, Lin Jianlan only looked at him blankly, I don't know what he meant by this move, he was about to stop it, but it was too late, seeing the placket of the shirt, a snow-white neck was exposed, flat and smooth, no matter how you look at it, something is wrong, and after a while, I understood, and the shock in my heart was beyond measure.

I only heard Yuan Xingjian slowly turn his head, stared at Su Wenwen, and said, "Say." ”

Su Wenwen raised his teary eyes, and saw Yuan Xingjian's extremely angry eyes staring at him, tears only rolling in the red circles of his eyes, and finally cried, Fang heard that he was also a woman, and said intermittently: "Sister...... Sister ......"

The soft language of the back garden that night was still in my ears, but where was Mrs. Xie, and what was the double-bearded beauty who had a spring in Xie Zhongju's heart, it turned out that Xie Zhongju and Su Wenwen had changed their makeup.

"Nine years in the deep palace, no one wants to stay inside. ”

"Even if I take the palace maid out of the palace, I want to put the people of Sanwu under the ravages of corrupt officials and bullies again, not only am I sorry for my father, who has high expectations for me since I was a child, but even if she knows, she will look down on me. ”

"What's more important is that if I collude with King Liang like this, I will miss a chivalrous man like Brother Yuan, but the price is inevitably greater. ”

"I don't know...... Did Brother Yuan and Lin Gongzi ever have a small family?"

At this time, everything seems to be understood, this sentence was originally asked to Yuan Xingjian, but now it seems that its meaning is self-evident, and his heart is as clear as the sun and the moon.

Lin Jianlan stood aside, in addition to being extremely sad and indignant at such a loyal Qing official suffering this catastrophe, he also felt very sour at the deep affection that Xie Zhongju had not yet expressed, remembering that Yuan Xingjian had talked to himself about his family history when he was sober, and his father chose to die because he refused to climb under torture, and when he encountered this scene, he didn't want to know how painful he was in his heart.

Yuan Xingjian was silent for a long time, Fang stretched out his fingers, and gently wiped the blood from the corner of Xie Zhongju's mouth and said, "Did the virtuous brother commit suicide and die?"

Su Wenshu raised his head suddenly, looked at Xie Zhongju's body and couldn't help but feel a pang of pathos, shook his head violently, but stared at the pale cheeks with a smile and said, "No, my sister said that she didn't want to die, and she had to wait until she saw you." Speaking of this, he trembled again, gritted his teeth and said: "But those things don't take people seriously, and they are used on her all night long, and only the 'Jade Girl Climbing the Ladder' has been used six times...... In the end, my sister was on it...... No more movement......"

Lin Jianlan knew it in his heart, as Yuan Xingjian said before, although the names of those torture instruments were elegant and auspicious, they could make people suffer so much that they only wanted to die quickly. A weak woman has survived so many tortures, and she is still bent on survival, just hoping to see the person she likes again, but in the end she still can't hold on any longer, and the blood stains on the corner of her mouth must be caused by being extremely uncomfortable and clenching her teeth tightly.

Yuan Xingjian never shed a single tear, held it in his eyes, and said in a dumb voice: "If this is the case, you might as well find a death happily, and it is better than suffering so much." ”

Lin Jianlan remembered that Yuan Xingjian once laughed at himself, "Running around, which celebrity is willing to suffer with me? I am too lazy to accept this fetters", and it is not his own arrogant nature, born in the eunuch family, traveling around the five lakes, stabbing traitors, and commanding the rebel army, such bizarre identities and encounters have never allowed him to meet a woman who is respected and loved, so he refuses to form a mandarin alliance, just listening to his gentle voice, it is like facing his lover, it is really a loyal soul has traveled nine days away, and it is a dream to meet from then on.

Yuan Xingjian silently took off his coat and surrounded Xie Zhongju's body, covering her blood red, but seeing her fists clenched, I don't know what was inside, and gently put the fist on his hand, in contrast, his hand wrapped the small hand is not a problem, he tried to shake it, the palm of his hand was cold, the fist was so pale, but the bone joints were also white, he tried to break it lightly, the grip was extremely tight and could not be released, and gradually increased the strength, but it was never able to break it, Fang turned back and said: "What is in her hand?"

Su Wenwen shook his head blankly, just crying, but he heard the sound of talking in the corridor, listened attentively, and said: "I don't know how Xie Zhongju is, come to the Lord and let us make her confess tonight, I don't know if Lord Qian will have a gain." ”

Another person said: "Lord Lai specially transported these things from Beijing, how many seven-foot men have confessed here, not to mention Xie Zhongju?"

The man said: "It's just that she can't hold back much, she was already dying of breath when she handed over the shift in the first half of the night, if she didn't get a confession, she tortured and forced the feudal officials to death, which is not easy to do." ”

The other person smiled and said, "You have to worry too much about this, and the adults have their own way." ”

The man said strangely: "What else can I do if I die, I can't let the dead confess, right?"

Another said: "Since I followed the adult to the execution, there have been many prisoners who have died under the torture instruments without a confession, but the saint does not ask much, and only says that he can't stand the torture, and as for the confession, it is also done in advance, isn't it just to press a mudra, break the hand and press the seal clay, and then pat it on the confession." ”

The man suddenly realized: "I said! Why do you want the criminal to climb any case that comes to the trial of the adult!"

The other person hurriedly said: "You can't leak this, otherwise it will be difficult for the two of us to save our lives." ”

The footsteps were close while speaking, Yuan Xingjian's anger was difficult to contain, the palm holding Xie Zhong's raised fist was already trembling, but he still held Xie Zhong on the ground and gently flattened it, Fang Fei jumped into the corridor, and screamed twice in a moment, Lin Jianlan hurriedly followed, but saw that one person had fallen at Yuan Xingjian's feet, ** cracked and died, and the other person was trembling with fright by Yuan Xingjian's collar.

Yuan Xingjian gritted his teeth and said, "Where are Lai Junchen and Wu Sansi?"

As soon as the man said, "The villain doesn't know", Yuan Xingjian kicked the corpse next to his feet, although it was an understatement, but the force was very great, the whole body of the person was kicked and hit the stone wall of the aisle, making a crisp sound, rolling down, ** Plasma flow was everywhere, Yuan Xingjian said fiercely: "If you don't say it, it depends on the fate of this person." ”

The man was frightened and suddenly incontinent, a smell of urine emanated from his lower body, and he opened his mouth and said: "Liang, King Liang is not, not in Suzhou, come, come to his ......." But it was a stalk in the neck, his face suddenly became gray, and he rolled his eyes and lost his breath in less than a moment, and there was a gust of wind above the road, Yuan Xingjian threw the person in his hand away and chased after him, Lin Jianlan turned the corpse over, but saw a very thin needle nailed to the back of his neck, which was black, and he hurriedly chased after him, and went out of the road, except for the deathly silent Suzhou Mansion in front of him, who else was there?

Lin Jianlan went back to the dungeon, but saw Qin Tianxiong standing at the entrance of the Yongdao and was about to go out, so he couldn't help but draw his sword and said, "Stop! Why are you here?"

Qin Tianxiong said: "Lin Gongzi has been too upset, and he has drawn his sword twice at this moment, this reason I have no intention of concealing it, I am entrusted by others, I must save Xie Zhongju's life, I didn't expect it to be too late, she was already dead on the torture frame when she arrived here." But why Lin Gongzi is here at this moment is quite a lot of thought!"

Lin Jianlan ignored his rhetorical question, and said, "Who sent you here?"

Qin Tianxiong said with a smile: "Lin Gongzi is too curious, right? It doesn't hurt to tell you, that person is also about to arrive here, if Lin Gongzi is interested, he will definitely introduce you to you." Lin Gongzi don't want to be entangled, I naturally know your personality very well, I can guess seven or eight points of your intention, Yuan Xingjian left with grief and anger at the moment, what do you think he will do?"

Seeing that Lin Jianlan was stunned for a moment, Qin Tianxiong wanted to walk past Lin Jianlan, but Lin Jianlan still stopped him with his sword and said, "Where are you going?"

Qin Tianxiong was surprised: "Where am I going?" I am the deputy gang leader of the Kuangyi Gang, so naturally I want to return to the Cao gang leader to help her. ”

Lin Jianlan said angrily: "What do you have in mind about Yin Yin? If you want to be unfavorable to her......

Qin Tianxiong said with a straight face: "I watched her grow up from childhood to adulthood, and regarded her as my own daughter, how could it be unfavorable to her." It's Lin Gongzi, if you don't have that meaning, stay away from her, I'm afraid that the person who will be unfavorable to her is not me, but you!"

After a while, Fang came back to his senses, and saw Su Wenwen sitting on the ground with dull eyes, staring at Xie Zhongju's body in a daze, and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he had to look around, and there was an official who looked like an official after the case, and he had been dead for a long time, and there was a piece of paper on the desk, and he couldn't wait to bite his teeth when he picked it up, obviously he was ordered by the imperial court to try his best to appease the people to avoid war, but he was framed like this, and the paper read: "Xie Zhongju went to Suzhou to fornicate with traitors, harbor murderers, conspire and rebel, and the traces have been identified." "Underneath is a blank space, apparently where the handprints are to be stamped.

At this time, it is too late to think about it, the sky will be bright, although Yuan Xingjian has not come back, but he must not stay here for a long time, Lin Jianlan walked to Su Wenwen's side and said: "Su Wenwen, we should leave this place, this is not a place where Lord Xie wants to stay." ”

Su Wenwen nodded in a daze, Lin Jianlan bent down, saw that the corpse was still wrapped in Yuan Xingjian's coat, his heart was desolate, he picked up the body, walked out of the dungeon, circled in the backyard for a while, and walked to the corner door. Lin Jianlan looked back at the remnants of the flowers floating all over the pond, sighed, and left Suzhou Mansion silently with Su Wenwen.

The sky was already bright, and he couldn't openly walk on the street with the corpse, so Lin Jianlan had to hire another car, only saying that the person in his arms was seriously ill, and the coachman glanced at Lin Jianlan with great suspicion, Lin Jianlan promised to add money, and he agreed to come down.

In the carriage, Lin Jianlan and Su Wenwen were speechless at Xie Zhongju's corpse, the road was bumpy, and the body was also bumpy, but it looked as if she was alive, extremely unbearable, Su Wenwen silently put the corpse next to him and gently wrapped it with his hand, without saying a word.

Lin Jianlan had no choice but to say: "Su Wenwen, Master Xie once said that her hometown is Jiangnan, do you know where Jiangnan?"

Su Wenwen was stunned and burst into tears and said, "Taihu Lake." ”

Lin Jianlan was also stunned, and the tears that he had endured for a long time finally fell, and he nodded and smiled: "Okay, let's go to Taihu Lake with Master Xie." ”
