Chapter 012: The Same Root (6)
Chapter 012: The same roots come from the same roots - conspiracy to plague, brothers and sisters (6)
Liu Shuyi could no longer bear this scene, and tears burst out from his eyes.
With tears in her eyes blurred, she felt her hands relaxed. The two big men grabbed the elder brother's arm and thrust his fists at the abdomen. She beat him and shouted: "You are so impatient that you will let you see the King of Hell today."
Liu Shuyi shouted, clenched his fists and wanted to come forward to rescue him, but he didn't know when there were two more big men around him. He was tied up with his hands again and could not move if he didn't pay attention.
In fact, even if he is highly alert in advance, with his weak body, how can he withstand those burly men?
Seeing that my elder brother was gradually losing his support, my heart was sad and painful, and I was helpless, so I could only shout: "Let my elder brother go, and if you want to hit me, you beasts!"
He was originally angry with his father, and he spoke nonsense and insulted the nobles, which led to many powerful enemies. He was quite dissatisfied with his behavior.
But at this moment, seeing his elder brother being beaten up, he was in anger and could not control himself. The father and son were at the hands of the enemy at this moment, and they dared to insult him. Isn’t it even more difficult?
Unexpectedly, the leader smiled slightly and said, "As long as County Magistrate Liu agrees to testify against the evildoer, the two young masters will not have to suffer these hardships, otherwise, hehe...hehe..."
He turned around and looked at the beaten scene, saying, "Let him go first, invite the young master to the next door and have a good hospitality. I'll wait for County Magistrate Liu's reply here."
The two men immediately stopped and responded: "Yes!" They left Liu Daliu Shuyi and walked behind the leader.
Liu Da Liu Shuyi sat down with his head hanging down and leaned against the wall. He was dying and spread his hands to support the wall. He seemed to be tilted immediately if he didn't do this. But when he was beaten, he never snorted from beginning to end. He did what his father and brother asked him.
Liu Shuyi admired and ashamed. When he remembered what he did to make a big brother in the past, he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawled in. He had already silently said countless words of sorry in his heart.
I thought to myself: My brother didn't cry out a pain even though he was still screaming. I must not be embarrassed. I just don't know how many torture instruments were prepared next door. If it was just a punch and kick, it would be fine. If all kinds of torture were imposed on me, can I really hold on?
Thinking of this, I was chilling.
At this moment, I didn't want to resist anymore, and I just added trouble. I let the two big men suppress me and slowly walked towards the door of the cell.
At this moment, a hoarse voice shouted: "Let me let my second brother go!"
It was the voice of the elder brother.
Liu Shuyi turned his head and saw that his elder brother's face was covered in blood. He was still fighting with the person who had bound him. He hurriedly shouted: "Brother, go back, go back quickly!"
But Liu Daliu Shuyi didn't listen to it and continued to break the palms of the two great men.
After seeing that he was beaten, the two men still dared to step forward and rescue their young brothers. It was obvious that they had a deep brotherhood. They couldn't help but feel respect in their hearts. They didn't fight back for a while, and looked up at the leader, looking for instructions.
The leader did not expect Liu Daliu Shuyi to be so persistent. While thinking, he heard one person say, "It would be better to punish this strong man first. If he is strong, how long can he be more likely to be punished? That boy is thin and he will be punished with great force, and he will not be able to kill him immediately."
He looked at the speaker and turned out to be the old jailer on duty.
Xun: What the old guy said makes sense. Although the matter is urgent, if he accidentally hurts his life, it is difficult to explain to the two generals. This guy who doesn’t know how to live or die is Liu Wenjing’s eldest son. I wonder if Liu Wenjing, a guy who is like a rock in the pit, will take care of his eldest son’s life or death.
Before he came, he had already found out that Liu Wenjing loved his youngest son a lot, so he wanted to use him to threaten Liu Wenjing, but he didn't expect such a trouble to break out halfway.
He looked up at Liu Wenjing and saw that although he was still facing the wall, his whole body trembled, obviously he was extremely concerned and was in chaos.
He couldn't help but feel overjoyed and said, "I'll ask the eldest son of County Magistrate Liu to go next door first. Well, the eldest son has not recovered from his serious injury, so he should be careful to serve him."
When he said the four words "be careful to serve", he deliberately raised his voice so that everyone could hear it, and the voice was full of treacherous and viciousness.
As soon as he finished speaking, two big men behind him held one of Liu Daliu Shuyi's arm and pulled it out of the prison.
Seeing that Liu Da's second brother was standing there, although there was still someone behind him, he no longer forced him out. He felt relieved and suddenly lost all his strength. He allowed the two men to pull him out of the cell.
Liu Shuyi's tears were not dry, and his eyes turned red again. Seeing that his elder brother's steps were floating, he seemed to have been seriously injured. This time he was tortured again, and he could not withstand it anyway, and he was thinking:
My elder brother is suffering on my behalf. If it is hard to bear the pain, then shout it out. I will never blame him. Put my heart in mind. If it were me, would I not say a word and grit my teeth and hold on?
I just felt that after traveling through time, I was too optimistic about the future and lacked sufficient understanding of potential dangers.
I originally thought that I knew some major historical events, and when I was experiencing the late Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty, I could walk on the ground and turn danger into a bargain. But the reality is that the future is difficult and every step is thorny. Once I take a wrong step, I will fall into the abyss and have no chance to turn over.
After a while, I heard the sound of crackling, jingling, and fine slew in the next room, as if I was waving a long whip, pulling the iron chain, and moving the tables and chairs.
Then there was a loud crackling sound. After a while, a voice said, "He is such a tough guy, he is so shady that he doesn't even say anything."
Another person said: "Use a great torture! I want to see how long he can support him."
There was another metal knock, and the sound of iron chain dragging, and there were other sounds from time to time, but Liu Shuyi did not make any sound.
Liu Shuyi helped his father sit down slowly. While others were not paying attention, he secretly took out a strip of cloth from his father's arms and stuffed it into his ears.
At this moment, he felt ashamed and thought he was tough in character, but at this moment, he was far inferior to his elder brother. He was originally grateful to his elder brother, but now, his respect was filled with his heart.
At this time, only the person next door said, "He fainted from pain, what should I do?"
Another person said: "Get cold water, wake him up, and continue to torture him!"
Liu Shuyi wanted to admit defeat several times, but when he thought that even if his father promised to frame Li Yuan, the whole family would not be spared. It would be better to grit his teeth and hold on, and there might be a glimmer of hope.
He didn't believe that history would deceive himself. Will Li Yuan watch his important counselor Liu Wenjing die like this?
If Li Yuan was really ruthless, he had to compromise with Wang Wei and Gao Junya. Since Li Yuan was unwilling to save him, I would assist Wang and Gao and Gao, regardless of whether he could defeat Li Yuan in the end, and save his life first.
As soon as he thought of this, his mind became more firm: to survive today first. If Li Yuan had no movement afterwards, he would have to give way to his Tang Dynasty Li family, his chosen son, and his bullshit history. He would save the lives of father and son first, and then talk about other things. In the face of the lives of father and son, he would have to give way.
After an hour like this, the room next door was always busy and loud. But Liu Da and Liu Shuyi seemed to be dying of anger and never made any sound.
In the cell where everyone was in a state of mind, everyone held their breath and kept their minds intently, without saying a word, and they were listening to the movements next door. I guess someone would hear it when the needle fell to the ground.
The person in charge was always confident and calm. At this moment, he began to look anxious, and fine sweat beads of continuous oozing out of his forehead.
This time, he was entrusted by two generals to vow to make this matter, making Liu Wenjing and his son surrender. However, the calculation of using his son to threaten his father was completely failed.
The three of them must be resentful at this time. Even if they were replaced by Liu Wenjing's youngest son torture, it would be a waste of time and in vain. For the sake of the present, they had to go back first and think of another countermeasure.
Just as hesitating and distressing, the old prison guard heard the soft whisper beside him: "It's getting late, and no one will come to treat him if it's late."
The implication is that if human death really happens, it will be difficult for everyone to have a life.
The leader glared at the Liu family's father and son with a hatred, patted his hands, and one of them came to him. He muttered a few words in the ear of the visitor. After the man nodded, he walked out, as if he had gone to the next door.
He turned around and said, "You guys are good at it. I will come back next time, it's not as simple as just torture."
After saying that, he made great strides and left the cell.
Not long after, footsteps sounded, and two big men dragged Liu Da into the cell, threw it to the ground, and left without saying a word. In an instant, only three fathers and sons of the Liu family, one old and one young and two jailmen were left in the cell.
Liu Wenjing and Liu Shuyi rushed forward together and gently carried Liu Shuyi, who was seriously injured and unconscious, to the grass shop. Each of them grabbed Liu Shuyi's hand, all with a serious look of concern.
The old jailer walked up to the three of them and said, "I advise you to agree to them earlier so that you will not suffer any more in a few days. The second master of Wang just now was the confidant of Wang Ren's prince Wang Ren. You can't afford to provoke him. Follow the younger advice, don't hold on, otherwise you will be in vain. Why bother?"
It sounds like a kind-hearted word of advice, but the implication is: There is a source of injustice and a debt. If you want to take revenge after you die, please identify the murderer and don’t come to us.
Liu Shuyi was so smart that he naturally heard the implication of the old prison guard and said, "You have said good things to the Liu family father and son for a few times, and Liu Shuyi is very grateful. If there is a future, he will thank you very much."
As he spoke, he bowed deeply. This was a very grand etiquette at that time.
In fact, he also knew that the old prison guard was not really helping him, but he was afraid that someone would die and harm him, but he was actually just saving himself.
But since he had put aside his arrogance and no longer believed that time travelers could be fearless and unscrupulous in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, he had to be more careful in doing things. Making more friends is better than making more enemies.
Sure enough, he saw the old jailer smiling and said, "Young Master is so serious. I will go to find a good doctor to treat your elder brother's injuries."
This old prisoner is proficient in human relationships and worldly ways. Although he doesn't believe that the Liu family's father and son still have the chance to get out of prison safely, he still has to give the favors he should give, not to mention that these are just a slight effort.
He spoke in front of Wang Er twice before, and he also mustered up the courage to take a risk and secretly made a cold sweat for himself.
You should know that Wang Er was vicious and cruel. I don’t know how many people died in the prison. But he should be on duty with his apprentice tonight, and no matter what, he could not let the Liu family’s father and son die at this time.
The Liu family and his son are the most important prisoners in the prison and cannot be ignored at all. Therefore, although there is a risk of offending Wang Er when he speaks out, he has to say that in order to protect himself.
When Liu Shuyi saw two prison guards, one old and one young, locked the prison door and left, he silently recorded the names "Wang Er" and "Wang Renba" and "Wang Renba" and secretly swear: If you don't avenge this, I, Liu Shuyi, will not be a human being!
