Shouchun walked and Jingtai came up from the underground cell, took the wet wipes handed by the servant, wiped the blood on his fingertips, and furrowed his thick eyebrows.
The two monks following behind him were also wiping away the blood, with tired looks on their faces.
During the continuous interrogation day and night, the three prisoners were like meat on a hob, but they would not spit.
All kinds of torture instruments and methods were used, from the temptation of interests to the pain of the flesh, and then from the pain of the flesh to the destruction of the meridians and Qi sea, and then back to the pain of the flesh and the temptation of interests.
The leader Wei Shumang didn't say a word, the older Boyi said a lot, but it was all insignificant and trivial. The youngest Ji Sun kept swearing, and just now he finally angered Jingtai and pulled out his tongue. It was broken, but Ji Sun laughed "ho ho" until his mouth was filled with blood, as if it was because he finally didn't have to talk anymore.
Being unable to speak means that they are useless. Those who are useless usually end up dead. It is just because they have not received a reply from Linzi yet, so they have not been executed for the time being.
I didn't expect it to be so tough.
But the harder he was, the more it showed that there was something wrong. Not only Jingtai, but everyone who was tortured day and night could see this.
After Jingtai brought the people out, two monks from the school were about to go out for rotation. Jingtai told them: "First take the bone-growing elixir and rest for a few hours, otherwise I'm afraid I'm going to die."
The two asked for instructions: "Can I cut off his limbs?"
Jingtai thought for a while and said, "Let's start from the feet."
Then he asked the three outstanding figures of the Yuan family who were waiting: "Is Sun Wu here?"
The boss Yuan Bohai said: "We have brought the Ying brothers to the flower hall."
Jingtai nodded and sneered: "Finally I can't hold my anger anymore! Has Linzi responded?"
The second child, Yuan Zhonghe, who had made a special trip to Linzi Academy before, shook his head: "There is still no reply. I personally delivered it to the stall in the Academy that day. After all, Linzi is 600 miles away from our Shouchun, and the journey is long. Please wait."
Yuan Shuxi, the third child, reported: "While walking, the temple officials at the Ting Temple by the lake reported that a boat with the city was docked at the lakeshore today. It is suspected that the boat was traveling with the city and came to Suiyue, but it did not get off the boat."
Jingtai frowned and nodded slowly: "Let's go and meet Sun Wu."
Arriving at the flower hall, Jingtai smiled with a smile on his face and apologized to Wu Sheng who was waiting here: "I'm late. I'm late. We are interrogating the prisoner. Unexpectedly, Sun Xingxing arrived in a grand car. He didn't come to greet him. It's so rude. I still hope. No wonder... these two must be Kunzhong of the Ying clan? Xian Kunzhong was famous when he was in Langshan, and I heard about it in Shouchun, haha..."
The Ying brothers looked at each other. The two brothers were not prepared to be polite. Now they were exposed again. When they were about to express their opinions, they were stopped by Wu Sheng's eyes.
What’s the point of getting entangled in a war of words?
Jingtai's welcome words clearly stated his attitude, that is, he did not welcome Wu Sheng's visit. This also confirmed Wu Sheng's original idea from another aspect. Jingtai's secret arrest of the three Wei Shumang brothers was not For the sake of the case itself, it is mostly related to myself.
In this case, there is no need to pay for gifts, and there is no need to be polite to him in words, just ask for them directly.
"Jing Xingxing, Yangzhou School issued a document the day before yesterday, asking schools from all over the country to cooperate in investigating the accomplices of selling prohibited spiritual materials. Later, Suicheng School found out that the criminal wanted by our Yangzhou School has been arrested by your house. I am in Yangzhou waited for several days, but did not see a reply from Jing Xingxing. He did not know why Jing Xingxing was delayed, so he took the liberty to come and asked Jing Xingxing to hand over the prisoner to me. Jing Xingping was relieved. When he reported his merits to Linzi later, I Yangzhou Academy will never forget to mention Jing Xing."
Jingtai looked surprised: "Wanted notice? What kind of wanted notice? I don't know."
Wu Sheng stretched out his hand and Ying Da presented a document. Wu Sheng took it and waved it in front of Jingtai: "This is what your servant Jing Jiu signed when he signed for it. The time was half a month ago. Jing Xingxing, you don't know how to You haven’t seen the official document you received half a month ago, have you? Also, Sui Xing said that nine days ago, he also sent a joint investigation notice to Jing Xingxing, asking you whether the criminals you arrested recently are the ones on the notice. You also There is no reply. Could it be that Jing Xingxing didn't see it either? Could it be that your stall was robbed? If Jing Xingxing can't deal with it, the Ying brothers are good at this and can help you catch the thief now."
Jingtai stretched out his hand to take the signature receipt, but Wu Sheng held it back: "Jing Xingxing, our Yangzhou Academy attaches great importance to archiving documents. Everything must be traced for future detailed investigation. Jing Xingxing takes a look at it from a distance. Just don’t do anything to prevent damage.”
When the lie was exposed in person, even though Jingtai was already prepared to fall out, he lost his temper. His expression darkened: "Is Sun Xingxing accusing my Shouchun Academy? What's wrong with my Shouchun Academy?" It’s not Sun Xingxing’s turn to dictate things when we do things, right?”
Wu Sheng sneered and said: "How Jing Xingxing manages Shouchun Academy, how he teaches his disciples to do things, and how he gets along with his colleagues in each academy is your business. No matter how bad you do, I can't control it. I don't want to teach, so I can't teach you." No, I'm just here to pick up the prisoner today. Please Jing Xingxing, please hand over the prisoner according to the rules. From now on, we will never have any contact with each other until we die."
Jingtai stared at Wu Sheng, Wu Sheng stared at Jingtai, and the atmosphere between the two gradually solidified.
After a while, Jingtai suddenly nodded and asked, "Who is the criminal you are talking about?"
Wu Sheng said: "Barbarian monks, Wei Shumang, Boyi and Ji Sun from Zhufeng Mountain, they are involved in the case and may be suspected of helping others smuggle banned drugs. Is Jing Xingxing knowingly asking?"
Jingtai said: "Some time ago, the people below captured a few traveling merchants. I don't know if they are the wild monks Sun Xingxing mentioned. I'll go take a look. Sun Xingxing will wait a moment."
With that said, he stood up and walked back. Yuan Bohai and Yuan Zhonghe followed him, leaving only the third child, Yuan Shuxi, to keep him company.
Wu Sheng said from behind him: "Jing Xingxing, please don't kill or maim people. If they die and maim people, it will ruin the six months of hard work in my Yangzhou school. I won't be able to explain to my disciples. Jing Xingxing should know that I My disciples come from rough backgrounds, some are from Langshan, some are from Baiyue, and some are from the barbaric wilderness. They are all strong-blooded people. If I try to prevent them from making meritorious deeds, I won’t be able to suppress them many times!"
Jingtai paused and walked away faster and faster.
When he came to the alchemy room at the back, he ordered Yuan Bohai: "Let them move the prisoners to the Ting Temple and go through the tunnel, immediately!"
There is an exit in the Shouchun Academy in an outer residential building. It was originally an escape route in times of crisis, but it has not been used for a hundred years. I did not expect that it would be used today.
He also ordered Yuan Zhonghe: "Send someone to inform Han Shu, the captain of the temple, and ask him to go to the lake to visit Suiyue. No matter how you stop Suiyue, you are not allowed to enter the city. Tell him that if anything happens, I can help him!"
