Although he was not being hung up with his hands and feet tied behind his back, but was facing the roof with his back to the ground like a fat pig with its hooves piled upside down, the man who was hung up was still miserable, especially now that he realized that someone had entered the house.
Already sore and unbearable, he could only make moaning sounds, silently praying for someone to put him down.
Fortunately, only a moment later, he heard a voice that made him ecstatic: "Ah Liu, untie the person first."
"Oh." With this simple word, he felt that the rope that originally hung his limbs suddenly became lighter. Before he could feel joy, his whole body suddenly fell. This time, he was shocked out of his mind.
, but just when he thought he would fall heavily to the ground, he was kicked on the buttocks, and immediately after, he fell flat on the ground.
This throw should obviously have thrown him into the mud, but he only felt that when he fell to the ground, he didn't feel much pain. On the contrary, the kick on his butt was really heavy.
However, he quickly ignored the severe pain in his butt, because when he fell to the ground, the rope binding his limbs suddenly broke, and he only felt that countless muscles all over his body were numb and painful like needles.
He even shed tears. Fortunately, his mouth was still blocked at this time. He wanted to scream but couldn't. He could only toss and turn desperately, trying to offset the pain of being hung for too long.
After finally waiting for the tormenting pain to subside a lot, he saw the young man who had just confronted him come forward and took off his gag cloth with one hand. But at this moment, he didn't even have the strength to shout.
I was even more afraid that if I behaved inappropriately, the other party would try different ways to torture me, I didn’t dare to move at all, I just tried to beg for mercy with a hoarse voice.
"I was just confused for a moment. I was confused by lard, so I wanted to steal something. Please forgive me this time..."
Before the man could finish speaking, Lu Sanlang came forward with a sullen face, looked at the man condescendingly for a while, and suddenly stepped heavily on the five fingers of the man's left hand. However, before the man could scream, he
When he made a sound, he saw Ah Liu put the piece of gag cloth back in like lightning, blocking the man's voice in his throat.
Lu Sanlang was naturally very happy for this exquisite cooperation. He nodded to Ah Liu, then lowered his head and said word by word: "You are still saying these deceptive things... I am so good at being a young master.
Are you lying? This is the Imperial College. No one is allowed to enter without permission. From the academic officials to the clerks and the servants below, I know everyone, but I have never met you."
"It's already a strange thing for an outsider to sneak into the dormitory of the Imperial College and be a thief. However, you also found my dormitory with familiarity, opened the lock and entered easily, and now you say that you were confused for a moment.
?Do you think I am a three-year-old?"
The man deceived Zhang Shou and Lu Sanlang, teachers and students, who were young, and felt that the young man who captured him was just a martial artist. He wanted to show his sincere begging for mercy in order to get away with it. Even if he was sent to Shuntian Mansion to be punished as a thief, the most he could do was
In other words, I was beaten so hard that I never thought that Lu Sanlang could be so sensitive.
He felt bad, but when he wanted to beg for mercy, he couldn't say a word because of the gag.
Seeing that the man tried his best but could only make a squeaking sound, Lu Sanlang smiled and turned to Ah Liu and said: "A Liu, you are skilled in martial arts, but you should only know the 18 kinds of martial arts. Didn't you listen?"
Did you say eighteen kinds of torture?"
Ah Liu blinked his eyes and shook his head seriously: "I haven't heard of it."
It was the first time that Zhang Shou discovered that Lu Sanlang and Ah Liu had a good understanding of each other, so he just held his hands and watched the two people singing the oboe. Sure enough, the next moment, he just heard Lu Sanlang smile and actually
He started talking nonstop.
"One is that in the Tang Dynasty, a cruel official came to Junchen to deceive another cruel official, Zhou Xingshi, and asked the king to enter the urn. He stripped a person naked, threw him into the big urn, then put firewood around the big urn, and then lit a fire. If you don't do it, this will happen.
The fire will naturally burn more and more fiercely, and it will almost reach the point of cooking. Even if you are a person made of iron, and you have turned into juice under such a fierce fire, do you think you can use it?"
Ah Liu's face twitched, and then he glanced sideways at Lu Sanlang: "I don't study well, so don't coax me."
"How can I coax you? This story first came from "Chao Ye Qian Zai", and was later included in "Zizhi Tongjian" by Sima Guang."
Without even looking at the man who was shaking like chaff on the ground, Lu Sanlang said plausibly: "Second, the punishment of grooming. Huan Yanfan, a famous minister during the reign of Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty, offended Wu Sansi. After he was exiled, Wu Sansi refused to let him go.
, sent someone to tie him up, and then sharpened bamboos and tied them together to make a bamboo pole. They used this bamboo pole to brush off the skin and flesh on his back layer by layer. When the bones were all gone, they killed him with a stick."
This time, even Zhang Shou couldn't help but feel horrified. Was Lu Sanlang too suppressed by Lu Wan in the past, so he had no time to study torture? Wait until next time when Lu Sanlang vividly talks about palace punishment.
, even the way Ah Liu looked at Lu Sanlang seemed to be looking at a monster, and the man on the ground had a look of horror on his face, as if he would faint in the next moment.
Seeing that the man's expression was not right, Ah Liu suddenly stepped forward without saying a word and picked him up. He then walked to the door in a few steps, opened the door and threw the man out, almost as soon as he landed.
At that time, his nose was so good that he smelled a bad smell. Not only him, but Lu Sanlang who was a step slower to react and followed him also smelled it and immediately covered his mouth and nose.
"You're so scared that you pee? Looking at this tall and big guy, he's so useless?"
Zhang Shou was dumbfounded. You tortured people on the left and frightened people on the other, even using castration, and now you still think that they are not strong enough? However, after laughing, he already realized that if this person is not real
He is flexible and flexible, that is, he is indeed not an important person, but an ordinary person in the market who bullies the weak and fears the strong.
So, he winked at Ah Liu, and when Ah Liu immediately stepped forward and took out the ball of gag cloth from the man's mouth again, he asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, why did you sneak into the Imperial College? Who is it?
Instigated you?"
The man was rubbed into a puddle of mud by Ah Liu and Lu Sanlang. At this moment, he said with a cry: "The villain really just collects people's money to eliminate disasters. I gave the villain twenty
With money and a map, let the villain hide something in a secret place in the room..."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Sanlang, who had pried Tao'er's mouth open, and who was a little complacent, suddenly changed his expression. He suddenly rushed forward and asked sharply: "Where is the thing?"
"Before the villain had time to place him, he was caught by this little brother! The thing in the villain's arms was a wooden figure. Someone probably wanted to frame you for stealing the thing... I was really confused for a moment..."
Before the guy could beg for mercy again, Ah Liu knocked the person unconscious with a knife, and then began to examine the person as quickly as possible. The technique was so skillful that it seemed like this was not the first time he had done this.
.
However, neither Zhang Shou nor Lu Sanlang had time to care about Ah Liu's talent. They were outside the dormitory at this time. Although there were no supervisors or academic officers here at the moment, there was no guarantee that no one would come. Therefore, Lu Sanlang
Before Ah Liu could find anything, he hurriedly said: "I'll go in and have a look. If someone hides something here, that would be terrible!"
"You go ahead." Zhang Shou naturally knew the importance, and reminded him after a pause, "I didn't keep many important things in the dormitory before, because most of them moved back to Zhang Yuan. Please look through it carefully.
, watch out for any suspicious writing paper mixed in."
Lu Sanlang nodded with a sullen face, and then ran back to the house. At this moment, he was very glad that except for a lot of math problems and calculation papers, there was nothing else important. But even so, he
I couldn't help but think in my heart, there are people even making plans here, it seems that this dormitory can no longer be lived in!
Ah Liu's body search was very effective. Money bags, sweat towels, ear picks... the things found from the man were piled on the ground, but the small wooden figure looked particularly eye-catching. When he
He took it and brought it to Zhang Shou, and then went to inspect other items. Zhang Shou took the wooden figure and looked at it carefully.
At just one glance, he felt that the wooden figure with exquisite carving and vivid expression seemed to be the emperor. Of course, he was not the emperor at his current age, but the young emperor. Although he was dressed in casual clothes, he had one hand behind his back and a sword in the other.
His brows were raised and his mouth was slightly open, as if he was cursing. If this thing wasn't so unusual, he would even have the urge to give it to the emperor to evaluate the carving work.
He turned around and looked carefully for a while, and finally found some extremely small words on the base. Even if he squinted his eyes, without a magnifying glass and the outdoor light was particularly strong, it would be difficult to see clearly for a while.
So, he turned back indoors without thinking, and did not look at Lu Sanlang who was rummaging through the boxes. After getting familiar with the changes in the light, he held the wooden figure upside down and squinted his eyes again to concentrate on distinguishing the words. However,
, when he basically saw those words clearly, his expression suddenly became weird.
Don't lose, don't forget, your immortal life will be prosperous. Never leave and never give up, your beauty will last forever...
At this moment, he really hoped that he had read less, so he had not read "A Dream of Red Mansions" and would not remember that this was the origin of the golden relationship between Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai - not just the piece of jade and the golden lock.
The words on the top of the piece? He originally thought that the words on the bottom of the wooden figure must be something like a curse of witchcraft, but now it seems that the curse is nothing!
This was clearly a beautiful blessing, and the emperor's expression was so vivid that it could be used as an emoticon. He even suspected that a famous craftsman directly used the emperor as a model to carve it, or that it was carved by a skilled craftsman who could remember the demeanor of a human being at a glance.
!As for why these sixteen words are so coincidental and the same as in Dream of Red Mansions... God knows if they have something to do with that magical Taizu!
At this time, Lu Sanlang, who was rummaging through the cabinets but could not find where others had done anything, finally noticed Zhang Shou entering the room, and even saw the wooden man in his hand. He quickly came over and said, "Little sir, what's so mysterious about this wooden man?"
……Huh?"
Lu Sanlang's mouth suddenly opened wide, he took a breath of cold air, and his words became stammering.
"Isn't this...isn't this the emperor?"
It wasn't until he received a blow from Zhang Shou that the little fat man suddenly realized, and then he quickly reached out and covered his mouth. When he saw Zhang Shou squeezed the wooden man tightly with an expressionless expression, he put down his hand and asked with some apprehension.
: "Little sir, this wooden figure... doesn't have words carved on it, does it?"
If there are any curse words engraved on this, it will definitely be a big case that shocks the government and the public! If so, no matter whether he is framed or not, it will cause a huge trouble! Don't look at him.
Even though Zhang Shou has the best teacher in the entire dynasty and a father-in-law who is a holy man, he can't bear it all!
Zhang Shou glanced at the little fat man who was about to shed a cold sweat. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the door open and Ah Liu came in empty-handed. He asked, "Have you checked all those things?"
"I have checked them all. I have also roasted the sweat towel and the money bag with fire, and tried wetting them with water. The result is that there is no writing on them."
Knowing Ah Liu's meticulous nature, Zhang Shou naturally believed that the remaining things were insignificant, and immediately handed the wooden figure over: "The characters engraved on the bottom of this wooden figure are really too small, can you identify it for me again?"
Ah Liu took it without thinking. When he turned it over and looked at it, he immediately read out: "Don't forget, don't forget, the immortal life will be prosperous. Never leave, the youth will last forever... Hey, this is
What's the meaning?"
Not to mention Ah Liu who raised his head with a puzzled face, even Lu Sanlang was stunned. Immediately afterwards, the latter shouted: "I know, this must be..." He suddenly covered his mouth again,
Then he rushed to Zhang Shou and said in a very low voice, "Sir, this must be an old thing from the palace, or even an old thing from the emperor's side. Someone wants to frame me for stealing something from the palace!"
Before he could finish his words, Zhang Shou slapped him in the face again: "Can you enter Qianqing Palace?"
Lu Sanlang suddenly became speechless. Not to mention him, even his father, Lu Wan, had only entered the Qianqing Palace a handful of times, and every time he left after speaking, not to mention stealing things, just touching them.
It was impossible to find anything! So, he thought hard for a while, and then said angrily: "Maybe he is slandering Miss Zhu for stealing the emperor's things?"
Although this is indeed a guess, Zhang Shou thought about the idiot outside who was bribed to sneak into the Imperial College to frame him. He felt that this was child's play to the extreme. Such a crude design was a sudden thought of the mastermind behind the scenes.
Or is his head broken? Even a very stupid person like the second prince wouldn't be so stupid, right?
Zhang Shou shook his head slightly, then suddenly laughed: "Instead of making random guesses, let's be simple and rough. Ah Liu, go out and tie up someone, and we will send him to Shuntian Mansion together. Lu Sanlang, you go to Zhao Guogong's Mansion, and give Yingying first
Send a letter telling her about it."
He snorted softly and said without any doubt: "Things have already happened. Instead of hiding them, it is better to expose them. Although Wang Datou is no longer in Shuntian Mansion Office, Zhang Chen and his father seem to be doing nothing.
, but the dignified Duke of Qin is not a vegetarian, at least let him know that someone framed you first!"
