Hearing the news of Wu Shuang's arrest, Hu Wei, a member of the staff, was very excited on this day, he was as excited as a fisherman caught a big shark. In addition to asking Taishi Xu to give Nong Miaosheng the right to kill the prisoner, he personally visited the figure who was in charge of the Changsheng Sword in the capital, Nong Miaosheng, and after a pleasant conversation with him, he rushed to the cell without stopping, he wanted to see for himself the miserable appearance of this nasty prisoner.

It was already the time to hold the lanterns on the high walls on both sides, adding to the strange atmosphere of the gloomy prison door. When he came to the tall prison door, a sergeant, holding a lantern, leaned down from the female wall and asked the people below:

"Who are you, so dark here?"

Hu Wei laughed and said:

"Brother Jun, do you know Hu Wei?"

Therefore, the sergeant quietly turned back to consult with one of his companions:

"The following person said that he is a foreigner, do you know him?"

Then the other sergeant leaned down and looked at it, and raised the lantern above his head, so that the shadow cast by the lantern itself enveloped him, so that he could see much more clearly what was going on.

After a long time of inspection, he stood up and said to the sergeant:

"That's right, he's a Hu Yuanwailang!"

"Master Hu, it's already dark, I don't know what to advise?" the sergeant leaned down again.

"There's nothing else," Hu Wei said, "Is there a death row prisoner named Wu Shuang who was imprisoned in the morning, I'll go see him!"

Then the sergeant whispered to his companions:

"Lord Hu wants to see death row prisoners, do you think it's appropriate?"

"Then you ask him if he has any prison visit papers!" the other party asked.

"What if not?" asked the previous sergeant.

The other party was stunned for a moment and asked:

"What do you think we should do?"

The sergeant said:

"These officials are all people who wear the same pair of pants, and the officials protect each other, and it's not easy for him to go to the prison to get a paperwork, can we just be such a black-faced person?"

"Yes!" said the other man, "then I'll ask him what he wants, and if he really wants to go in, let him in!"

"Master Hu, do you have any prison visit documents?"

"I didn't get it!"

"Then this is really a bit of a dilemma for both of us, my lord!" said the sergeant, "if you are not allowed to enter, you will come in the dark and not ruin the fun, and this will also make our brothers and sisters haunted!"

After a pause, he continued:

"Today, our brothers have the courage to open this convenient door for Lord Hu, but please don't let others know about this time, otherwise the prison officer will hear it, I'm afraid our shoulders are too small to carry it!"

"Definitely, definitely!" said each other repeatedly, "don't worry, I won't say it." ”

So, the sergeant ran down and opened the door for him.

As soon as the door of the courtyard was opened, he went in, and handed the sergeant two small pieces of silver, ten taels of silver, which he had grasped in his hand, and said:

"Invite my brother to eat a bowl of wine!"

The sergeant took the money and immediately said with joy:

"Your Excellency, please go this way, and I'll take you to the guard!"

Hu Wei followed him up the stone steps, entered a round-arched stone tunnel, and walked forward by the light of the faint lights lit in the stone holes on both sides, and in a short time they came to a cell door with a fence made of thick logs. There were two cell heads, armed with waist knives, one resting his feet on the table, one with one foot bent on a chair, and the other casually stepping on the ground. They were drinking wine over a plate of peanuts on the table. When they heard someone coming in the hallway, they quickly hid the remaining peanuts on the table, along with the plates, into the drawer, and quickly hid the wine bag in the brick crack in the corner.

Hu Wei followed the sergeant over, and the two cell bosses didn't know him, but only heard the sergeant say:

"This is Lord Hu Wei, a foreigner, I want to take a look at Wu Shuang, a death row prisoner who came in in the morning!"

How did the two cell bosses know that he was a private agent, and they thought that he had been sent here! Therefore, they were also respectful and trembling.

The sergeant said and left.

So, Hu Wei threw some broken silver and two cell bosses, and said:

"Buy a bowl of wine to eat!"

The two were pleasantly surprised when they saw it, and said excitedly:

"My lord, do you want to see the Wu Shuang who came in the morning!"

Hu Wei nodded.

So, the cell boss went to the drawer and took the key and opened the last cell door in the hallway.

It was a dark, damp stone prison, with water dripping on the walls on all sides, and a bowl of oil lamp embedded in the wall flush with the door, and the fire burned hard in the damp and musty air, crackling and crackling, and coughing like a patient with tuberculosis! Wu Shuangzheng was tied to the opposite wall with ropes, his neck was tied by a chain embedded in the wall, so that his head could only move from side to side, and he could not bow or tilt his head; his hands and feet were open, and like his neck, he was embedded in the wall by thick iron chains, unable to move.

There was a pot of blackened broken rice on the ground, with a few rotten vegetable leaves on it, and a bamboo tube of water; However, no one fed him!

Seeing Hu Wei and the two cell bosses suddenly walk in, Wu Shuang turned his head and glanced at it, his expression calm, not frightened, nor disdainful. Then he looked back and watched the oil lamp crackle and burn.

Hu Wei suddenly laughed and said:

"Dog mongrel, it turns out that you also have today!"

He saw that Wu Shuang's head, neck, hands and feet were bound by iron chains, and believed that there was no danger, so he walked to the opposite side of Wu Shuang, looked at his face, stared at his indifferent eyes, and said with a cruel smile:

"Aren't you the peerless Wu Shuangjian among people! Why did you become such a dog today!"

Hearing this, Wu Shuang glanced at him, sneered and said:

"Hu Wei, if you do too many bad things, the sky will kill you!"

Hu Wei laughed when he heard this, suddenly waved his hand, snapped, slapped Wu Shuang's face, and scolded:

"Death row prisoner, how did you talk to your Uncle Hu!"

Wu Shuang didn't roar or make a fuss, he just smiled quietly, letting the blood from the corners of his mouth drip on the white robe on his chest - he smiled quietly as usual. This sect was extremely annoyed, he thought that Wu Shuang should be furious after being embarrassed by him, so he was very disappointed!

He saw that Wu Shuang's body was not tortured, and his robe was clean, so he smiled sadly and said:

"Okay, then I'll give you a taste of pain!"

Then he said to the two cell bosses behind him:

"Why don't you torture him?"

"The executioner didn't call for torture!"

"Who's the Executioner?"

"Zheng Antai, Master Zheng!"

"Where are the others now?"

"I'm home!"

"Besides, how can I use the punishment?"

"This ......," the cell boss looked at his companion next to him, weighed the broken silver that Hu Wei had given him just now, and said, "Actually, it's very simple. ”

Hu He, a shrewd man, immediately understood, so he took out two silver tickets with a face value of one hundred taels from his sleeve, threw them into the other party's hand, and said:

"I'm going to let him, kneel down and beg me for forgiveness!" he pointed at Wu Shuang.

Wu Shuang turned his head and glanced at him, still didn't say a word, still just sneered.

Half an hour later, Wu Shuang's body no longer had an inch of good flesh, and he couldn't find a place to be tortured at all, his flesh and blood were blurred, and he was already dying, like an unconscious corpse, hanging from the iron chain on the wall. In this torturous process, he never said a word, nor did he groan, let alone beg Hu Wei for mercy. It seems that he was born to be an iron man!

Seeing this, Hu Wei jumped into a rage and roared:

"Beat me again until he kneels and begs for mercy!"

However, the two old men were already exhausted, and they didn't dare to increase the punishment when they saw that the other party had become like this! If they couldn't get up in one breath and were killed, they wouldn't be able to get out of it! Because, this death row prisoner would have to wait for tomorrow to be beheaded in public!

Therefore, they all say:

"My lord, we can't fight anymore, we can't get out of it if we are killed!"

In the end, Hu Wei roared and left angrily. (To be continued.) )
