Chapter 45 Sealing the Coffin
Cheng Zhongfu said suddenly: "The shame of Jingkang, Lin Lingsu's evil demon is to blame. He is actually the number one traitor in the Song Dynasty. If you have anything to do with him, it will be a death sentence. If you want to protect hundreds of lives of the Xu family, quickly tell us the whereabouts of the 'Qiankun Yuanqi Pot'."
Xu Xuan thought of his parents, Renjitang, and the young and old at home. His chest and throat were like being blocked by huge rocks and could not breathe. What was even more violent than anger was the heart-wrenching sadness and sadness. He wanted to spit hard on him, but tears poured out of his eyes in an unyielding manner, blurring his vision in an instant.
What kind of greed and evil thoughts can make a person destroy his conscience and become crazy? What should he do to protect his parents and protect the innocent people in the world like his parents? If both cannot be combined, would he really sacrifice hundreds of lives of the Xu family?
When the people saw him suddenly burst into tears, they only felt fear of survival and gave each other a wink.
Cheng Zhongfu sighed again and said, "Xuan'er, do you think I am really so cruel? Your mother is my closest sister. She passed away early and entrusts you to me to take care of her when she died. From childhood to adulthood, I only think that you are your biological son. But have you ever thought that life and death are small, and the world is the best. That monster almost caused me to perish the Song Dynasty. If I don't hand him over to the court, how can I be worthy of the millions of people who died in vain? If he is allowed to escape and the catastrophe occurs again, whether you or me, will you become a sinner for the ages..."
It would be fine if he didn't mention this. When Xu Xuan mentioned it, he was even more angry as lava. He spitted at him with a "pah" and said, "You dog thief with human face and beast heart, don't act pretentiously! If you have a genital, kill me immediately. As long as I have a breath, one day... One day, I will cut you into pieces and tear you into pieces!" In a rage, even his voice trembled.
Cheng Zhongfu's face changed slightly, Li Tixing shook his head and said, "Young Master Xu, you are about to be punished, but you are thinking of cutting off your uncle's flesh. If you disobey your superiors, you will never repent, and the gods will not be able to save you." He stood up and said, "Zheng Jiejie, I will leave it to you here. Although the punishment in this dynasty is the name of "luxury", he has to use the reprimand for those stubborn thieves."
Zheng Hu sneered and said, "Don't worry, Lord Li, there is no mouth that cannot be opened in the little hand." As soon as Li Tixing and the other two walked out of the water prison, they suddenly lifted the iron cable and pulled Xu Xuan high, and swept the iron rod into his left knee like a whirlwind.
Xu Xuan was so painful that tears burst into tears. Before he could scream, his right knee and spine were hit again with a series of blows, and his bones seemed to be broken into powder.
Zheng Hu is cruel and cruel, and is well-known far and wide. When the prisoner saw him, he did not need to be tortured, so he trembled and confessed. The people in Chengdu often use "Zheng Laohu" to scare disobedient children, and some even call him "Zheng Taisui".
He was used to being domineering. Seeing Xu Xuan so stubbornly in front of him, he had long been furious. With Li Tixing's permission, he was even less afraid and used all kinds of vicious tricks.
Iron stick, whip, soldering iron, steel needle, tiger bench... In half an hour, I used all kinds of tools on the Xing rack one by one.
Xu Xuan was tortured to death with blood, his body was covered in skin, his finger bones, ribs, leg bones... I don’t know how many times he fainted, and several times he was awakened by cold water. He couldn’t bear it anymore and wished he could die immediately.
He was almost collapsed several times and almost revealed the truth, but when he thought of Ge Changgeng's words, "'I will die in the morning when I hear the Tao in the morning. Since he is a person who seeks the Tao, why are life and death afraid of?", he suddenly became burnt and his blood was pouring up. He gritted his teeth and suffered hard.
It was really hard to bear, either roaring in a roar or laughing and scolding. Later, my voice became hoarse, my head was hanging down, and I was dying, but I refused to beg for mercy.
Zheng Hu couldn't have imagined that this young man with a stinky breast was so tenacious. He was surprised and angry, and said in a sequel: "Ge, you are a stubborn duck. You can't do it if you don't go on the rack and grill it." He grabbed a red-hot iron and pressed it on his lower abdomen.
Xu Xuan shouted, and the stinking smell was everywhere, and he fainted immediately.
I was drowsy and didn't know how long it took. When I woke up again, the water prison was empty and dark, and Zheng Hu was no longer sure where to go.
His whole body was soaked in cold and turbid water, with only his head and neck exposed outside the water surface. Every time he took a breath, his heart and lungs felt a scorching pain, and his legs, arms, chest, back... were all painful. Fortunately, the eight strange meridians were not seriously damaged, and even though their muscles and bones were damaged, they could still move.
Just as I was about to use the "Cuixu Golden Elixir Method" to drive away the cold and keep warm, the Qiankun Yuanqi pot in my belly suddenly moved, and Lin Lingsu's weak laughter came from my mind: "I was going toward the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditches. Boy, if you listened to me earlier, why should you suffer such bird energy and suffer these hardships?"
Xu Xuan was shocked. It must be that Zheng Huluo burned his abdomen just now, shaking the gourd plug, and letting the monster find a trace of flaw, which is enough to send a message to him.
Fortunately, the Qiankun Yuanqi Pot is an ancient magical artifact that isolates yin and yang. As long as the seal is not removed, Lin Lingsu cannot escape, and it is difficult for others to detect any abnormal movements. No matter how powerful Lin Lingsu is, he cannot pass on a message to a third person other than him.
Lin Lingsu said again, "I said it a long time ago that you and I are now grasshoppers on the same rope. We want to live together, and we want to die together. I have been thriving in the world for decades, and I have earned everything back. Even if I die immediately, what's the point? But you are different. You have both parents and have hundreds of lives to take care of your family. Hehe, when the dog emperor gets the imperial edict, he loses his head all in a mess. That's so lively."
Xu Xuan knew that he was fanning the flames, but he deliberately stimulated himself to let him out. He closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing with his luck, just pretending that he didn't hear it.
Lin Lingsu smiled and said, "Boy, did you not hear the two prisoners talking when you were unconscious just now? The Xu family colluded with a demon to rebel, and it was unforgivable. The whole family was killed in the past two days. Tomorrow your father will be escorted to Beijing and executed with your mother. Tsk tsk, you have been diagnosed with a disease and killed the family. It is not considered a last resort, at least it is unprecedented..."
"Stop!" Xu Xuan's heart trembled, and he could no longer suppress his grief and anger. He said hoarsely, "There are gods above and the imperial court below. Even if God doesn't open his eyes, my father has a plaque given by the Zhao Guan family, and Dali Temple will never let these traitors do whatever they want!"
This sentence is weak and powerless. It is better to comfort yourself than to refute Lin Lingsu.
Lin Lingsu laughed and said, "I've mentioned that the Criminal Prison Office has come to examine your crime. Do you think you can turn your confession? The world is as black as crows, and the crime is unfounded. Not to mention that you are just a drug dealer in Lin'an Prefecture, even if you are as honest as Su Dongpo and as loyal as Yue Shaobao, the dog emperor is still demoted and killed when he wants to be demoted? Not to mention these dog officials and Taoist priests, they are all hypocritical, but they are as vicious as snakes and scorpions. In their hands, the people are so despised as ants, life and death, but in the face of overturning their palms. Since you have fallen into their hands, whether you hand me over or not, you will be pinned to death and silenced your whole family."
After a pause, he said leisurely: "It's not too late to repair the skeleton after the sheep is lost. Boy, as long as you spit out the gourd and uncover the seal, I will not only help you avenge you, kill these dog thieves, but also guarantee to save everyone in your Xu family, and there are not many."
Xu Xuan gritted his teeth and closed his eyes and refused to answer. Although he had already made up his mind and thought of dying, he thought that he was determined to save the people of the world, but in the end he was so tired that his whole family was in vain that he died in vain. The scene of his father and his mother being executed by Ling Chi flashed through his mind, and his breathing was suffocating and pain as if he was suffocating.
Lin Lingsu said: "Boy, are you unwilling to let me out? Are you afraid that I will kill the dog emperor indiscriminately, or are you afraid that I will kill those hypocritical bald donkeys and thieves? Or are you worried that the city gate will catch fire, harm the fish in the pond and harm the people of the Song Dynasty? Hehe, without me, is these people not enough to be exploited by the dog emperor? Are those who bullied them all day long? Are they Lin, who has been buried in Mount Emei for decades, or are the 'parent officials' who have been sucking bones and sucking marrow?"
His eloquence was excellent, and with the hoarse voice of the demon, every word was nailed into Xu Xuan's heart like a wedge, which made him feel upset.
Lin Lingsu said again: "Who else in the world is better than parents, who really treats you well? Even if you think about the people, what does those people have to do with you? Is it important for those who are unfamiliar with your lives, or is it important for your close relatives?"
Before he said this, Xu Xuanyuan was already a little shaken. After hearing this, the ruins at the foot of Emei Mountain suddenly flashed in front of him, the villagers who died tragically, and the baby girl who cried on his mother's body... I was shocked again in my heart.
Just as his heart was in a state of confusion, the prison door suddenly opened with a "despite" sound. Zheng Hu led two jailers like wolves and tigers to leaps down, waved upwards and shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up!"
With the sound of dong dong, several men in soap-clothed clothes were carrying the nanmu coffin, colliding across the prison door, and climbing down the stairs. The coffin seemed to have just been painted, and it was greasy and smelled pungent.
The coffin has been brought up. Could it be that these people really want to kill themselves here? Although Xu Xuan was not afraid of death, when things came to an end, he still felt a heart-wrenching cold and fearful.
The prison guards stepped forward and pulled him out of the water. They removed the iron chain with all their hands and feet, put on dozens of kilograms of shackles and handcuffs, sealed his mouth and nose with iron covers, leaving only his nostrils to breathe, and then grabbed his shoulders and feet, shouted in unison, throwing him into the nanmu coffin.
Before he could come to his senses, the prison guards embedded the coffin lids again, making a "hard" sound, and nailed them tightly with iron nails.
