Chapter 455: Dense and Silent
In the evening of summer, it was darker and later, and the sunshine poured on people's faces, and it was no longer hot.
"Godfather has been weird lately... I'm not in a hurry to find my mother, doesn't he miss my mother?"
Wow β
The branches of the tree were whipped on the flowers in the hands of the little people, and the petals that fell down seemed to wither away in the cold winter, leaving only the stamens standing alone on the branches. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Yu Linglong looked a lot more eccentric when she was in Qingluan Valley, and now she is by Bai Ning's side, and under the influence of various eunuchs, she has gradually become a little human spirit, not to mention that she has two lives in her hands at such a young age, and the sudden change in her family has become much more mature than before.
But after all, it's just a child. After leaving here, Linglong kept wandering around the house every day in addition to practicing martial arts, as if she was looking for something.
Perhaps it was a little boring to hit those flowers, so she sat down on the steps at the bottom of the porch, and looked at the various petals that fell to the ground, and tears suddenly fell.
"Mother... Where are you hiding....Linglong so I hope you're just hiding at home...... Linglong searched everywhere but couldn't find her mother..."Crying, she reached out and wiped it with her cuffs, but her nose was sore, and she still couldn't stop crying: "Dad doesn't pay attention to Linglong... No one in the family likes Linglong anymore... Mother, Linglong misses you so much. β
Now she is twelve or thirteen years old, if she is growing up for a few years, some troubles may have become a little naΓ―ve, but at this time, the thoughts in her heart are real.
The red little embroidered shoes were covered with white socks, shrunk inward, Xiao Linglong hugged her knees on them, and the crying pear blossoms brought rain, and the water stains wet the brocade silk and penetrated into the outside.
"Linglong really wants to grow up quickly....when she grows up, go outside to find her mother, and be with her mother....not to come back. β
was saying angry words to herself, a figure at the end of the corridor trotted over quickly, hearing footsteps, Xiao Linglong hurriedly wiped away the tears, pretended to be nothing, sat there..... picked up a petal and looked at it stunned, probably hoping that no one would see her now.
However, footsteps came behind him.
Xiao Chenzi looked down at the petals on the ground, and guessed that this little adult must be in a bad mood, so he bowed down and approached the past and whispered a few words beside Linglong.
"Is the news true?" the petals slipped from between her small hands, and her parted feet gradually tightened.
The little eunuch who bowed his head nodded affirmatively, "Yes, eldest miss, just now the slave maid got the news from Dongchang, they found the Xuantian Mixed Yuan Sword lost by the Overseer, and Zheng Mojun also confirmed that it was indeed Bao Daoyi's saber at the beginning. β
"Come with me. The folded long skirt hung down as the figure stood up, and Xiao Linglong shook two ponytails and turned around and crossed the eunuch.
The red yarn brushed over Xiao Chenzi's face, and his expression was stunned, "Ah....Miss, where are we going?"
"East Factory!"
The little girl, who was more precocious than her peers, had a serious face, like a gust of wind blowing out of the mansion.
When the carriage stopped at Donghua Gate, it was almost dark, and the torches in the prison inside the factory were swaying dimly.
Syllable!
The leather whip flew through the air, and the sturdy man on the torture rack screamed in pain, and in his unsealed mouth, he kept shouting at the jailer who was executing him and begging for mercy.
The exposed upper body, almost no good flesh can be seen, most of the wounds are in the shape of deep valgus, if you are whipped again by a leather whip stained with salt water, the sharp pain will not go away for a long time like an ant climbing, and a new pain will climb up again, and few people can survive a few rounds.
However, this side will not be tortured all the time, and will stop for questioning from time to time in the middle of the way, and if the other party is unconscious, he will pounce on him with the cold water prepared earlier and continue the questioning.
The person who was tortured was the boatman who had been arrested during the day, and he survived two or three hours, fell into a coma several times, and without exception woke up to continue to be questioned and tortured.
"Please, spare me... I... I really don't know anything....." The boatman who was hanging on the torture rack shook his head in confusion, and the sound coming from his mouth was still begging for mercy, but it was getting weaker and weaker.
"Where did the sword come from?"
"Pick up... Pick up.. of.."
"Where did you pick it up?"
"....on the riverbank... Pingling Ferry....my family is there..."
"How did you pick it up?"
"There's... Someone was fighting....forgot there..."
"Where did you pick up the sword?"
.....
The interrogation is constantly repeated, if the man on the torture rack hesitates a little, he will continue to be tortured, and there will be a writing fan next to him to record the interrogation one by one, if there is a repetition, it will be crossed out, and if there is doubt, the jailer will continue to repeat the question.
Soon the prison door was pushed open, and the fat figure came in with several people, and the boatman looked at him slightly, and the curtain was dressed in a python robe, and the blood blurred his eyes, and he couldn't see it very clearly, and there was a small figure standing next to him, and when he tried to see clearly, there was already a whip on his face.
When the red mark spread, the leather whip fell to the ground, and someone broke off and shouted: "Lower your face!"
"You all go out first. Hai Dafu raised his hand behind him, and even the jailer who was executing retreated outside with the rest of the eunuchs.
After the people walked away, he bowed sideways and said to the little man beside him: "Miss, this is the boatman who holds the sword of the Overseer, he has been investigated before, and he is indeed a boatman. β
Xiao Linglong walked to the torture rack with a straight face, and looked up at the bloody figure for a moment, "Are there any other discoveries? β
Behind him, his footsteps moved slightly, and Hai Dafu slowly stepped forward: "It was indeed discovered that the boatman's house had been destroyed, and the wharf and ferry port had also been destroyed, and the scene was a mess, but as he said, there had been a big battle there." β
The boatman raised his head in severe pain, his face covered in blood, and his voice was almost pleading: "I... What really... I don't know... It's too dark... I don't see... Clear..."
"Youβlieβ" Xiao Linglong opened her mouth and said a word, picked up the leather whip on the ground, and hit the boatman's wrist with a crackle, the weakest point, instantly softened, and her palms kept shaking.
Linglong held a whip and pointed at the other party, "If it's dark, how can you pick up my father's sword, if you see them fighting, why don't you kill your mouth?
After she said this, she threw away the leather whip, turned around and left the cell, Hai Dafu followed closely behind, and when Linglong stepped up the stone steps with a small cloak, she said, "I have already made things clear....put that man.."
There was a pause before he said, "Let's put it down..."
"Yes, Miss, go back first, it's too filthy here. Hai Dafu coaxed the villain to send him to the carriage, and he was relieved when he saw the carriage leave the East Factory.
"Father-in-law... In today's words, the eldest lady seems to be suspicious of the overseer..."The eunuch named Qin Shuang is the righteous son of Hai Dafu, and after seeing that there are no outsiders around at this time, he boldly expressed the doubts in his heart.
The study waited for the candles to be lit, reflecting the shadows of the two of them pulling on the wall, and the old eunuch smiled, "The eldest lady is right to have doubts, and our family is also a little suspicious, after all, our family is also an old man next to the overseer, and every word and deed is engraved in my heart like a knife." β
"What does the father-in-law mean...?" the little eunuch leaned closer, his eyes rolling, "....The overseer in the palace is actually a fake....?"
"Suspicion... Nothing more. β
Hai Dafu shook his head, "Don't be too absolute in everything, but that person is indeed a little weird, Xiao Chenzi has conveyed some instructions from the overseer before, and there is a lot of meaning in it at this moment, you don't want to delve into this matter, your foundation is too shallow, so as not to die unjustly." Alright, you go down. β
"Yes, the son went down first. β
In the candlelight, the old eunuch sitting behind the desk looked at the back of the person who turned away, his eyes narrowed, and he picked up the brush and wrote a few words on a blank piece of paper.
Soon after, it was conveyed and quietly sent into the palace.
........
Outside the city of Bianliang, a large number of laborers were being recruited and settled in the open space on the outskirts.
On the road not far away, three figures dragged their tired bodies and finally came to Bianliang, looking at the huge silhouette in the black, the fat man with a big waist and a thick waist sat on the ground.
"Oh, my mother....finally came to Bianliang. β
And the woman among the three was also exhausted and knelt on the ground, wiping the sweat on her head, looking at the misty sky, "Big brother, we can't enter the city now....how can we find a person named Tang Long." β
"Isn't the letter from the fourth child to us from the bald man? When I entered the city, I should have known, I just couldn't figure it out, why did the fourth child suddenly know the people in the Jingshi, oh... By the way, where did he say to wait for Tang Long?"
Behind him, a bald man who was tired and stuck out his tongue pointed to the southwest: "Shifengzhuang...."
These three people are Wang Wei, Li San and Wen Juan, who were blocked by Bai Ning before, but for what purpose they were the messengers, the three of them didn't know either, so they came over in a daze.
However, soon, a group of torches appeared in front of them, and it was the general of the Bianliang Night Patrol who was in the camp, and the leader of the group glanced at the three of them, and beckoned: "Shen Geng is not staying in the craftsman camp in the middle of the night, what are you doing when you run out, go back to me immediately." β
"Huh?"
The leader kicked on the fat man's buttocks: "Ah what, hurry back and rest, it will start soon, don't you be tired to death." β
On the way to the craftsman's camp, the bald man looked at the surroundings and whispered to the fat man, "Boss... It doesn't seem right..."
"Stupid! Wang Wei turned around and scolded him.
When the three of them realized that it was not good.
At this time, there is no chance for them to escape.
