The cell of the Beizhen Mansion Division is located underground, the first floor is the Jinyi guard on duty, and the second floor is the torture room, what nail board, fire branding, knife chairs, five-horse corpse bed, Ling Chi knife, iron cone piercing the body, all kinds of terrible torture tools, just looking at it is terrifying. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Xiaojiu smiled: "Don't be afraid, you won't need these." ”
The iron prison is on the third floor, there are nineteen rooms, there is not a single prisoner in it, there are not many people who are qualified to be arrested by the Jinyi guard, and there are not many people who can survive after being caught. The deepest one was facing the aisle, and Xiao Jiu stopped here and said, "This one is the most spacious and comfortable." Nangong Yu smiled dumbly and said, "Is there a difference?"
Xiao Jiu took out the key to open the cell door, and said with a smile: "There is still a difference, you go in and have a look." ”
Nangong Yu went in and saw that there was a comfortable soft bed, as well as mahogany tables and chairs, oil lamps on the table, books and four treasures of the study, and a bucket with clean water in the corner of the wall, which was readily available. Xiao Jiu said: "How is it, it's not bad." As long as you don't run away, we will eat and drink every day. Nangong Yu said: "If your Beizhen Mansion Division treated every prisoner so favorably, there wouldn't be so many people afraid of you." Xiao Jiu smiled: "If you want to be beautiful, I will take care of you so much." You rest for a while, and I'll bring you food later. ”
After saying that, he closed the cell door and walked out. The dark cell was creepy, Nangong Yu lit the oil lamp, and after falling asleep, he got up and read a book for a while. At this time, he heard the sound of the iron gate unlocking, Xiao Jiu went and returned, he took a food box in his hand, and after entering the cell, he put food and drink on the table, in addition to good wine and food, there were two pieces of ejiao. Xiao Jiu smiled and said: "Ninth Master, I count my words, and I promised you Ejiao in the ancient tomb, and I will never break my word." ”
Nangong Yu smiled, thinking that his performance in the ancient tomb should have made them guess that he was related to the Zhu family's royal family, could this be the purpose of inviting himself? But Xiao Jiu didn't say it, and it was useless to ask. Xiao Jiu sat down to drink with him, looked at his appearance, and said strangely: "How did you become like this, people are not ghosts, why don't you shave your beard." ”
Nangong Yu said: "I just want to know how long you will sing this play, and I still want to go home to see my wife and children." Xiao Jiu said: "I don't count what I said, it's useless for you to ask me." Nangong Yu said: "Then who says it, Tan Mian?" Xiao Jiu shook his head and said, "Be a little patient, you will know soon." After chatting a few more words, Xiao Jiu got up to say goodbye, and Nangong Yu said, "Wait a minute." After saying that, he sat down at the table and wrote a letter, saying, "Give this to Lord Hai, it says that I am safe and sound, and I am really afraid that he will come to me in three days." Xiao Jiu smiled: "Although it is a superfluous move, I will bring it." ”
After Xiao Jiu left, the world turned back into darkness. Nangong Yu was amused in her heart, thinking to herself what kind of life she had lived in the past two years, first she was trapped on the island, then she was drowned in the sea, and she was imprisoned twice, I really don't know when it was a head.
At night, when he read a book for a while and was about to go to bed, he suddenly heard the iron gate ring again, he hoped that Xiao Jiu would come to sit with him, otherwise it would be too boring to be alone.
This time, it wasn't Xiao Jiu, there were two people, standing in the darkness at the end of the passage, and they couldn't see their faces clearly. Then the two jailers walked down, came to Nangong Yu's cage, and lit two large braziers, so that the other side could see him clearly. At this time, someone moved down a chair, and one of the black shadows sat down and looked at Nangong Yu from a distance.
Nangong Yu didn't speak, and read by herself. The two black shadows watched quietly for a while, then got up and left. The jailer also removed the brazier, and the prison returned to darkness.
Xiao Jiu came to see him at noon the next day, brought him food, took away the leftovers, and asked, "Did something happen last night?" Nangong Yu said: "There were two black shadows who came to see me, and they left without saying a word." Xiao Jiu nodded thoughtfully.
At night, the two black shadows came to see Nangong Yu again, and the brazier was lit again, this time Nangong Yu said: "Why don't you two get closer, let me see you too." The standing shadow seemed to be about to speak, but was stopped by a sitting shadow waving his hand. Just like the night before, I watched it for a while and left.
On the third night, the two mysterious people came again, but this time they didn't light the brazier, they came to a place very close to Nangong Yu, one of them sat down, and the black shadow standing said: "Nangong Yu, kneel and reply." ”
The voice was high-pitched, the voice of a eunuch. Nangong Yu smiled and said, "Don't even tell your name and surname, let others kneel." I'm not going to bend my knees to people. The eunuch sneered: "You kneel to this master, and don't insult you." Nangong Yu glanced at the person sitting in the dark, and said, "This lord's surname?" After the man said a few words in the eunuch's ear, the eunuch said: "This lord is gracious, let you avoid kneeling, our family asks you a few words on behalf of this lord, and you have to answer truthfully." ”
Nangong Yu said: "You ask." The eunuch said: "Your father's name is Zhu Ce, your name is Zhu Yu, and you are the eleventh generation grandson of your grandfather, isn't it?" Nangong Yu knew that he couldn't hide it, so he nodded. The eunuch said, "What are your fathers doing in Dongying?" Nangong Yu was silent. The eunuch said: "Half a year ago, Dongying released the news, saying that the descendants of the great grandfather live in Dongying, and they want to help your father restore the throne, which is no secret." Nangong Yu was surprised: "There is such a thing?"
The eunuch said: "But according to our intelligence, Zhu Ce of Dongying is indeed himself, but your identity was replaced by a person named Song Ming, and your whereabouts were unknown for more than a year, until you were fished up from the sea by fishermen and sent to Chun'an. ”
Nangong Yu thought to himself that Dongying was crusading against the Ming Dynasty under the banner of his father, and as a son who was not by their side, it was reasonable to let Song Ming come to pretend to be himself, and said: "I don't know what the two of you asked me to do here?" The eunuch said: "This is also what our family wants to ask you, you enjoy all the glory and wealth in Dongying, why do you have to return to Daming after a lot of hardships?
Nangong Yu sighed and said slowly: "My family members are all in Daming. And I'm also a Ming person, where can I go if I don't go home?" the eunuch said: "We also guessed that your conscience still exists, so we saved your life." At this time, the man in black who was sitting coughed dryly, it seemed that his health was not very good, and he whispered two more words to the eunuch, and the eunuch said, "Take off your clothes." ”
Nangong Yuqi said, "Why?" the old eunuch said, "We want to see that dragon." Nangong Yu took off his shirt and went naked, revealing the golden dragon head and dragon claws on his chest. The two people in the darkness couldn't see it clearly, their bodies moved forward, and the eunuch said, "Come on, bring two braziers down." ”
Nangong Yu smiled: "No." After saying that, the dark luck was true, and the body "Teng" burst into flames, illuminating the entire dungeon, and also illuminating the face of the old eunuch, after seeing it, he was secretly shocked, he recognized that the eunuch was the "celebrant eunuch" palm print eunuch Liu Jin, the person sitting on the head of the hat with a black cloak, could not see the appearance clearly, only saw a lock of black beard under the cheek. The man looked at the golden dragon in the flames, trembled slightly, gasped a few times, and said in a hurried and low voice: "The yellow dragon is clothed!" Liu Jin also showed surprise and said, "Okay, you can put away the flames." ”
Nangong Yu put away the flames and said, "Then what?" Liu Jin said in a deep voice: "Our family asks you one last thing, and then you can answer our family after you think about it, are you willing to be loyal to my Ming Dynasty?" Nangong Yu didn't think about it and said: "I am originally a Ming person, of course I am loyal to the Ming Dynasty." Liu Jin said: "Even if the enemy is your father, do you have no hesitation?" Nangong Yu was stunned and silent. Liu Jin smiled: "It may be too cruel to ask this question, in other words, if your father makes you turn back to Dongying, will you go?" Nangong Yu said without hesitation: "Everyone has their own aspirations, if I want to take refuge in Dongying, I won't come back." ”
