The two jailers walked deeper with Gu Sinian in their arms, and finally stopped at the door of a cell and shouted:
"Chatou, the people are here!"
Gu Sinian felt a little nervous because there was a pool of blood on the ground at the door.
A cold voice came from the cell:
"Then why bother? Bring it in!"
The scene in the torture chamber shocked Gu Sinian. There were everything from water and fire sticks to soldering irons, small daggers to guillotines. There was a whole row of wooden shelves against the corner, just like what he had seen in the TV series. Exactly the same.
There was also a man leaning on a chair with his legs crossed and playing with a short dagger.
The brazier beside him was crackling with charcoal fire, and the iron tongs inside were burning red and emitting black smoke. Later, the iron tongs would be burned on Gu Sinian's forehead.
Gu Sinian, who had grown up in a peaceful and prosperous age, had never seen such a scene before. As soon as he entered the cell, he felt his legs shaking.
Xiao Chatou, who had a cruel face, stared at Gu Sinian coldly:
"Are you the prince's scholar sent from the capital?"
Gu Sinian nodded cautiously:
"yes."
Seeing that Gu Sinian had no intention of paying for it, Xiao Chatou suddenly changed his face and cursed:
"Straight bitch!
You don't look like a good person, you have a sly look on your face.
King Pingling killed everyone in his family, and it was His Majesty's grace that you ended up wandering thousands of miles away. But when you come to me, it's not that easy to survive.
Come here, be punished!
First, use ten sticks to stretch your muscles! "
"Here!"
The big men on both sides immediately clenched their fist-sized fire and water sticks and walked towards Gu Sinian with a fierce look. Few people could withstand these sticks.
"No, no, no!"
Gu Sinian waved his hands repeatedly and said with a flattering smile:
"Master Chatou, this is to honor you."
Gu Sinian imitated the flattering expression on TV and handed over the scattered silver given to him by Jiang Yufeng.
Alas, although there is no dignity, people have to bow their heads under the eaves~
I am not a martial arts master who can defeat Jiang Menshen. Even if Coach Lin arrives, he will still be afraid of these brats.
If you are not afraid of the county magistrate, you are afraid of the current administration. It will be the same no matter what dynasty or generation you put it in.
"That's it?"
The little chatou just weighed it and knew that the money would last for more than a tael, and he was full of dissatisfaction:
"Then let's avoid getting slapped a few times, tattoos are definitely inevitable.
We are honest people, and every stick is clearly marked with a price, so we can’t tell others if we don’t pay enough. "
Xiao Chatou strictly followed the principle of being a thief, and actually showed a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.
"No, no, no, adults. I still have something to say."
Gu Sinian hurriedly said:
"I heard that Mr. Chatou has been troubled recently. Maybe I can help Mr. Chatou solve the problem."
"Troublesome?"
The chief officer frowned at first, and then he realized what was happening and looked at the two jailers who had brought him in with a stern look:
"Are you two talking too much? You're tired of living!"
"Boss, I know I was wrong and I won't dare to do it again."
The two jailers trembled and apologized repeatedly, already scolding Gu Sinian's eighteen generations of ancestors in their hearts.
Chatou looked at Gu Sinian again:
"I want to hear what a thief like you can do to solve this problem.
If you fool me here, haha~"
Cold laughter echoed in the torture chamber.
"Ahem, how dare you fool the adults." Gu Sinian said with an apologetic smile:
"The younger one was born as a schoolboy, and he has also practiced calligraphy since he was a child. I dare not say that he is unparalleled in the world, but he is still good enough to write an elegiac couplet.
If the adults don't give up, maybe let the younger ones give it a try. If it doesn't catch the eyes of the adults, it's not too late to hit him again with the thirty-killing stick. "
"Oh? So confident?"
Xiao Chatou was quite surprised and full of doubts. After all, Gu Sinian looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, what ability could he have.
A jailer said cautiously beside him:
"Boss, you might as well let this kid give it a try. If it works, you can save a lot of money~"
"Hmm. Same."
Cha Tou nodded slightly: "Okay, get the pen and ink!
Boy, if you take advantage of me for fun, then I will have no choice but to throw you into death row and let those death row inmates have a good time~"
Gu Sinian looked like pig liver again. Could it be that people from the Great Liang Dynasty liked this?
However, he can still handle a mere elegiac couplet. His calligraphy has won a provincial award, and he can write it for his whole family.
Two jailers quickly rushed over holding pens, ink and paper. They looked at the quality of the paper, which was somewhat similar to the bamboo paper of the Song Dynasty.
This kind of paper has bright ink color, is simple to make, and has low cost, so it is deeply loved by literati like Wang Anshi and Su Shi.
"Come on, it's up to you."
Gu Sinian showed no signs of panic. He started writing, swiping ink, drawing back, and picking up the pen all at once. Two lines of large characters suddenly appeared on the paper.
Xiao Cha was stunned for a moment. Each stroke seemed to be engraved on paper. It was not only elegant and beautiful, but also had a touch of vitality. It was very beautiful.
It is hard to imagine that such words were written by a young man.
After holding it in for a long time, Chaantou finally said:
"It's a good word!"
Even Gu Sinian was surprised. Before his time travel, his calligraphy was mainly Wenxiu. Why does it feel sonorous and powerful now?
Oh~
Although this host is a companion to a reading boy, he seems to have practiced some martial arts and has some strength in his arms, so the writing styles of the two people have inadvertently merged.
"Um, this..."
Chatou said awkwardly: "What are you writing about? What about coming and going?"
Dizzy~
The co-author is an illiterate who cannot read a few characters.
"Fusang rides a whale on this day, and Huabiao will come in the form of a crane."
Gu Sinian read it again in a cadence:
"Fuso is a fairyland. To put it simply, your father-in-law did not pass away, but went to the fairyland and rode a whale."
"good good good good!"
"Hahaha!"
Xiao Chatou laughed loudly: "Not bad, little brother, I thought you had some abilities when you first came in.
Sure enough, I saw the right person.
I accept this piece of writing, and your killing stick is also exempted! "
Gu Sinian's coming and going helped him save a lot of money, and he was also able to deal with the mother-in-law at home, and he was in a good mood.
In fact, he didn't understand a word of Gu Sinian's explanation just now, but if he didn't understand it, it meant it was well written!
Gu Sinian's face darkened. Just now he was a thief serving in the army, and now he has become a little brother. This guy can fall out of favor faster than he can flip through a book.
But he still climbed up the pole:
"Thank you, sir, for the engraving on your forehead..."
Gu Sinian glanced at the brazier iron next to him with some fear. He really didn't want to have the word "prison" written on his forehead as soon as he traveled through time.
"You are quite greedy."
Xiao Chatou rolled his eyes and said, "That's all, let's just press the carving button for now. If anyone asks, just say you're not feeling well. You can carve it again later, and I'll help you with the rest."
To tell you the truth, usually when prisoners enter this torture chamber, if they don’t have ten taels of silver, they usually enter vertically and exit horizontally. I see that you are young and have some skills, so I made you a friend today! "
"Thank you, sir!"
Gu Sinian was overjoyed. Pressing these four words for the time being was very important. Once you press it, it will last ten or twenty years. If you drag it on, it will be over.
"Hey, by the way, what did you say you were from the prince's palace, accompanying the reading boy?"
Cha Tou suddenly raised his eyebrows, looked at Gu Sinian seriously and asked:
"Are you studying with the prince of the palace?"
"Yeah."
Gu Sinian nodded repeatedly: "Is there anything you want to ask, Mr. Cha?"
Xiao Chatou crossed his arms and said thoughtfully:
"Since you are studying with the crown prince, you must have read a lot of books and have some knowledge?"
Gu Sinian was a little unsure about what the bad guy wanted to do, but he thought it would not be a bad thing to show his face, so he patted his chest and said:
"My lord, this is no small boast. I know a thing or two about the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as poems and songs.
I don’t dare to say it out loud, but I have some real ability.
What, how about I write a poem for the adults? "
"Ouch."
Xiao Chatou looked at Gu Sinian again:
“You’re not that old, but your tone is not that small.
OK! No need to write poetry.
I will remember your words. If I find you useful in the future, don't leave me alone. "
"Don't worry, sir!"
Gu Sinian grinned:
"As you command!"
"Okay, let's go back to the cell. You can give him a cleaner room and let him wash his face."
Cha head looked at the jailer and said:
"My little brother is not a bad guy, don't make trouble for him."
After hearing this, Gu Sinian understood that there was a high probability that this Master Chatou might be of use to him for something else, otherwise he wouldn't be so polite.
Of course, if something happens, you can take care of it by yourself. It would not be a bad thing if there is someone to take care of you in this unfamiliar cell.
"Here!"
With Master Chatou speaking, the other jailers dared to cause trouble to him, so they just took them away.
Gu Sinian was led out happily by the jailer, and the first calamity of this time-travel was over.
Cha Tou was still looking at the words happily, and the attendant beside him asked in confusion:
"Tou, isn't it just a word? Why is it worthy of being so favored by adults?"
In the past, this little guy was just a man who plucked his feathers and recognized money but not people. Today, his temper has changed.
"You know nothing!
Even if he is a little book boy, he is still a scholar from the royal palace, and he has ink in his belly.
What is most important these days? "
"silver?"
"Bah! He's a talent!"
Xingzi sprayed spit on the jailer's face, raised his eyebrows and smiled:
"The county magistrate has been worried about something recently, maybe this kid can come in handy.
Hehe~"
…
In the new cell, Gu Sinian was lying on the hard bed with his back stretched out, a straw in his mouth, and his head was a mess.
Although this dynasty has never appeared, the language and writing are similar to those in ancient times, and I can make do with it.
But the soul of the host in his body kept attacking his brain, as if he had been greatly wronged.
"Uncle, I am just a thief and a soldier. The Clay Bodhisattva cannot save himself when crossing the river. How can I help you avenge the majestic prince~"
Gu Sinian didn't even know what enemies this Prince Pingling had or what grievances he suffered. The only memory that came to his mind was this sentence:
Your Majesty has ordered that King Pingling collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, committing a heinous crime.
Servants and servants have traveled thousands of miles!
Kill all the royal family members!
Then countless soldiers rushed into the palace, and heads fell to the ground one by one~
