Chapter 73 Introducing the King into the urn

The specific origin of water beating is no longer verified. Some say it originated in medieval Europe, and some say it was first seen in ancient China. For example, the well-known pig cage is a manifestation of water beating.

But no matter when it originates, waterboarding, as one of the most cruel punishments, can cause unimaginable torture and blows to the body and will of the person being punished.

It is a small miracle that Baihua is weak and can still keep walking here after being watered off.

Xu You said lightly: "My little girl is good at making a good method. She can beat her will without leaving any traces. She can use it at this time and here. I wonder what she asked?"

It is said that the probability of success of waterboarding is about one percent. Are you willing to make meritorious service when you are guilty of committing crimes?"

Baihua kowtowed and said, "I am willing!"

The next morning, Baihua stopped cleaning up and came to Qiantang County alone, crossed the bridge and entered the alley, and went to the house where he met the man last time. He pulled the iron ring on the door and knocked it a few times, but there was no response, and then pushed it gently, and the door was actually closed and not locked.

"Is anyone here?"

Baihua entered the courtyard and looked like everything was as old as before. Four low wing rooms were arranged on both sides, and the two-story main building stood in the middle. More than a dozen cypress trees were rounded around the courtyard wall, which looked simple and ordinary.

No one replied, and even the cries of insects and birds were heard. It was a bit terrible.

"Is anyone?"

Baihua walked into the building, looked up and down, and had nothing. When he came to the wing room, there was still no one.

She stood in the yard, looking anxious and at a loss!

After waiting for a long time, no one appeared. Baihua thought the task had failed, so the man was too vigilant and stopped using this house only once. At present, only by waiting for him to come to the door next time can he implement the planned plan.

But every extra minute is a torment for her, the safety of her family, the torture of conscience, the fear of the future and the uncertainty of the future, all make Baihua live like a year, and she wishes to end all this immediately.

Just as we were worried about gains and losses, the door of the house was creaking. A young man dressed in a slave walked in, looked around carefully, and whispered: "Follow me!"

Baihua was alert and took two steps back and said, "Who are you?"

"Who is the one I sent me to when I am here!"

Baihua held his hands tightly, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Finally, he nodded and said resolutely: "Where are you going? I can't delay it for too long..."

"Not far away, half a stick of incense is coming, please!"

The man went out first, and Baihua followed him and walked back and forth in the city repeatedly, like a maze. If Baihua hadn't grown up here since childhood, she wouldn't even know that she was in the southeast, southwest and northwest.

"please!"

The man stood in front of an ordinary house and made a gesture of invitation. Baihua's palm was already wet with sweat, but when he remembered the purpose of this trip, he mustered up the courage to step over the low threshold and walked into the deep courtyard.

When she saw that person again, Baihua found that she was so calm and calm, no longer panic and fear, no longer worry and hatred. She just needed to repeat Xu You's words, and then adapt to the situation and lead you into the trap.

"It's rare! You will come to me on your own initiative. Did you find something abnormal?"

The man was wearing a black wide robe with a crotch, thin and tall body, with an ordinary appearance, but his eyes were as thin as willow leaves, revealing a cold and cold light.

Baihua looked at him, lowered her head and said, "Yes! I have carefully investigated it these days and found something strange..."

The man's body was slightly away from the seat, and his eyes seemed to be about to swallow Baihua alive. He couldn't wait to say, "Tell me quickly!"

Baihua hesitated for a moment, looked up and said, "I want to see my mother and brother and sister-in-law first..."

A hint of sneered from the corner of the man's mouth, and he said, "What? I'm afraid I'll kill them?"

"you!"

Baihua's face changed drastically, and her eyes were rippled. The man laughed and said, "Don't worry, they are useful to me, kill He Yi? Well, if you don't let you take a look, I'm afraid I won't say it out loud. Someone, take her to the dungeon!"

Through the small hole in the dungeon iron door, Baihua saw the mother, brother, sister-in-law and nephew who were locked up together. They looked indifferent and seemed to be a little numb. Before they could even speak in a hurry, they were taken to the room again.

"Did you see it? I keep my word. As long as you help me find out the news, their safety can be guaranteed."

Baihua seemed to have made up her mind and said, "I went back to Mingyu Mountain with my wife a few days ago. I accidentally heard a waterfall in Mingyu Mountain. A few months ago, it was marked as a forbidden area by the Lord..."

"Forbidden area?"

The man thought for a while and asked, "There should be many places in the huge Guo Mansion that have been designated forbidden, right? What is the difference between a mere waterfall?"

"There are dozens of forbidden areas in Guo's Mansion, and many places that I don't even know. The reason why I feel that the waterfall is that there seems to be someone living in the cave behind the waterfall..."

"Hmm? Someone in the waterfall?"

"Yes! Guo's family is surrounded by fertile fields and has thousands of houses. If you want to arrange for a seclusion, there is also a lot of place to live, but you have to live in a place like a waterfall. It's very strange."

"Yes, it's very strange! How long ago did this happen?"

"Five months ago!"

"Five months..."

The man stood up, his expression changing. Even Baihua could feel the irrepressible excitement he was hiding in his body.

He paced back and forth a few steps in the room, turned around suddenly, and said, "Have you seen the appearance of the person in the waterfall?"

"No! It's the forbidden area, no one can enter!"

The man paused and walked straight to Baihua. His slender eyes seemed to emit a terrifying cold light, saying one by one: "Since no one can enter, how do you know where people live?"

Baihua's breathing had to pause, but he knew that he could not hesitate when the answer was delayed. He tried to make the voice less trembling, and said, "Because a few days ago, there were guests who stayed in the mountains who didn't know the ban. They accidentally entered here during a mountain trip, which alarmed the people in the waterfall, so... so I realized..."

This explanation is reasonable, and this person has no suspicion again. If it were the person he was looking for, it would not be an exaggeration to live in no matter how secret it is.

"Have those guests ever seen people?"

"I didn't even have it. I just heard the other party's voice and knew that I had entered the forbidden area. I obediently retreated."

The man turned back to his chair and sat down. After a while, he was speechless. When Baihua was anxious and restless, he suddenly asked, "If I ask you to check and figure out the appearance of this person, can you do it?"

Baihua shook her head and said, "Although the guards of the waterfall are not very strict, I don't understand martial arts and cannot walk on the steep mountain roads, so I can't avoid the guards and investigate. If you are not in a hurry, give me a few more months, maybe there will be a chance...but..."

"But what?"

"I heard from my wife that because the guests were disturbed a few days ago, I planned to move the people in the waterfall to another place in a few days. If I transfer it, it would be almost impossible to find it again, given the size of the Guo Mansion... "

"No, you can't let Zhan Wenjun transfer anyone!"

The man was obviously a little impatient and said viciously: "No matter what method you use, you must find out the matter within two days, otherwise, you will be waiting to collect the body of your family!"

Baihua's eyes showed a sad look and said, "The Guo family is very strict. The wife will never talk to us about the forbidden area, otherwise I would not have waited until someone mistakenly entered to find out. And I am a lowly maid with no power in my hands. How can I find out the situation in the forbidden area? Even if you threaten my family, you can't let me do things that I can't do at all. I will die. I have tried my best. I think they will not blame me on the way to the underworld..."

"you……"

The man's eyes were fierce and stared at Baihua, as if he wanted to swallow her alive.

Baihua slowly lowered her head, her voice filled with the meaning of lifelessness, and she said, "You kill me!"

If a person is not afraid of death, he cannot be afraid of death. Guo’s mansion has a boat pavilion as his eyes and ears and ears and wells, which is really difficult for outsiders to intervene. If he hadn’t caught Baihua’s family, even this hole would not be opened. So this man knew that Baihua was telling the truth, but he came to Qiantang thousands of miles to find the missing person, and then take this opportunity to make his colleagues who once laughed at him kneel at their feet and bow to admit their mistakes, and would not miss this opportunity no matter what.

He snorted coldly and said, "You said there are not many waterfall guards?"

"yes!"

"Okay, take me up the mountain tonight and find the waterfall. I'll go check it out!"
