41. The Suffering of the Dungeon
In the damp prison built underground in the county government office of Gaohai County, a swarthy young man wrapped his hands around black iron and half-suspended in the air on a pool of dirty water, and his abdomen was completely immersed in the black water.
In addition to the coldness, there was also a foul smell coming from the water, mixed with a trace of blood.
No one knows how many people died in this place and how much blood was shed, but everyone knew that as long as they entered this cage, even if they only stayed for two or three days, life was worse than death, and the cruelty was completely beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Of course, enduring the stench is only secondary, the most important thing is that the water of the black pool is cold to the bones, making people unable to close their eyes, hungry and cold, tired, and unable to rest for a long time, people will go crazy.
This is still the county lord named He Ye who has a great kindness, otherwise he will not even hang the iron chain, and throw it directly into the pool, let you swim freely within a few zhang, and in the end you will be exhausted and drowned.
Human life is like grass mustard, of course, it is not just talking, no matter how powerful and powerless the family is, it is not even as good as the fish of the river, such as the dragon king fish in the dragon beard fish, covered with gold scales, and its long beard can prolong life, and some people have opened up a fish pond for it as a thing to watch and raise, and a tail needs more than hundreds of taels.
Inside this dark cage, there was a candle flame flickering in the corner staircase, reflecting on the young man's face, and there was no blood in sight, and it was even more miserable beyond the paleness.
The young man was trembling all over, his eyes were empty, from the initial screaming and scolding, to now not knowing life and death, it was only a day that had passed.
This is still his perennial fishing in the water, and the invasion of the lake makes this body more tenacious, otherwise let alone shaking and trembling, no one will refute it if it is said that there is a dead body hanging.
Suddenly the sound of footsteps echoed through the prison, and then a man walked slowly behind his back with his hands on his back.
He Ye waved his hand to signal that an old man with a handkerchief covering his nose behind him did not need to follow, and walked alone to the black pool, glanced up and down, and sneered: "Why don't you scold your father and mother and scold God? ”
Sensing a voice coming, the young man who was hanging in the air and didn't know whether he was alive or dead narrowed his eyes slightly, his lips opened slightly, and he said intermittently hoarsely: "Please... Beg... Please, put... Let me go. ”
He Ye, who was tall, waved his hand slightly with one hand to dispel the filthy qi in front of him, and said indifferently as usual: "So spineless, call Uncle Sheng to listen first." ”
"Ho... Big... Master, please... Please... Let me go. ”
The man who was not wearing a casual suit from the government took a step forward, and with a flick of his right hand, although he did not touch the young man's cheek, a crisp sound was immediately heard.
The boy who was slapped shook from side to side along the chain, and blood kept flowing from the corners of his mouth.
He Ye immediately took two steps back, for fear of being contaminated with "dirty" things, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, revealing disdain, and sneered: "People like you, don't you like to say anything to kill me, it's a big deal that you will be a good man after eighteen years, now is a great time, you just need to say, I will fulfill you, maybe you can still vote for a good family in the next life, deserve the treasure in your hand, the jade in your hand, why suffer from this kind of torment." ”
The young man, whose hands were tightly bound by chains, just shook his head slightly with all his strength, unable to say a word.
He Ye threw out another palm, and the blood of the young man who only hit his whole body flowed, and his body swayed back and forth along the iron chain, like a swing.
The man looked at this ridiculous scene, hooked his fingers slightly, and the golden gas turned into a giant hand, holding up the extraordinarily distinct dirty water and pouring it down on the top of the young man's head, and its cold and sour smell suddenly made the young man who was almost meaningless sober for three points.
He Ye leaned down and sneered: "How does it taste, there is still the blood of your dead adoptive father in this, and the tiger poison does not eat children, you are really not as good as a beast now." ”
He then laughed even more: " If you want me to say, you are really in the blessing and don't know the blessing, although your adoptive father named Zhu San is also a pickpocket, but because he suffers from rheumatism in his legs, he can't get into the water, so he has to make this decision, and it is worth mentioning that the old guy does have some means, several times in front of me, but I have not found out once, although I have the ability to directly bring him to justice, but everything must be a rule, and arresting people without evidence is to break the law, so do you know why he was caught by me in this prison?"
He Ye pointed to the young man who was almost lifeless and laughed, "This is thanks to your wolf-hearted dog, if you hadn't been stared at by me that day, how could there be a scene where that old guy came to the government to take the initiative to take the blame, don't you know how the old guy's rheumatized leg will react when he falls into this pool, right?"
The man lowered his voice and sneered: "Ouch, I think that scene is miserable when I think about it, an old guy screamed all night and died of noise. ”
He leaned down and stared at the young man's slightly open eyes, shook a finger and said teasingly: "One hundred taels, I'll let you live, how about it?"
The young man, Lu Yongnan, was so sad that he finally understood why the old man never went into the water, and why he had said so many nagging things to him the night before he left.
It's a pity that there is no trace of tears in the young man's eyes, only blood gurgling down.
The highest place he had ever stood was the old man's shoulder, and the heaviest thing he had ever carried was the old man's thin figure.
The boy just took him as a role model from the bottom of his heart.
As for stealing, he never liked it, he just thought that the good things that the man did, he also did well!
Otherwise, I'm sorry for the bowl of chicken soup and the story of the night in the snowy night.
The young man gritted his teeth and only burst out a few words, and said weakly: "Kill.. Kill me. ”
The tall man turned away, no longer looking at the filthy place, but whispered: "Kill you? ”
When he walked out of the cage, he saw the light, and the old man with the beard who was still waiting for him bent down and asked, "My lord, will this be too much..."
He didn't finish his words, although he sympathized with the young man, he still had to eat according to the faces of others in his official robe.
He Ye was not angry and said: "He has something to do with you? is it your nephew or your illegitimate child, so he thinks that these irrelevant things are better to keep an eye on those families, and then increase the tax rate on fish sales after the summer season, so that we can catch more silver, don't you say, Lord Bo!"
The old man nodded again and again, not daring to say a word or two, he looked at the entrance of the dungeon, and then at the figure of the man striding away, and frowned, as if he was talking to someone and as if he was talking to himself.
He whispered and mourned: "How come the students from Shangde Academy are the same, and now that it is in the midst of war, what is going on in this world!"
