In the northeast corner of the second courtyard of the palace, dense trees cut off this place from the rest of the palace, and a separate wall was built to enclose a small courtyard. There are no other houses around but trees.

Lin Jue, who was tied up with five flowers, was pushed and shoved into a room in the main house of this courtyard. As soon as he entered the house, Lin Jue gasped. The furnishings in this room are so frightening, there are chains and hooks hanging on the walls, and all kinds of torture instruments are placed in the room. A large black board was filled with knives, shackles, hammers, saws, and other objects, and the room was filled with an eerie smell of blood.

Several burly men were busy working in the house, and when they saw Shen Tan coming, they all stepped forward to salute, and they also saw Lin Jue who was escorted over.

"Commander Shen, is this a job? How familiar is this person? A tower-like man stared at Lin Jue with a smile, like a beast that had seen its prey.

This courtyard is the place where the Liang Wangfu is specially used for torture to extract confessions. The so-called 'how familiar it is' that the man asked just now is a black word between them, that is, to ask how far they want to fight. If you are very ripe, you will be beaten to death, and if you are very familiar, you will be punished a little, and if you chop off a finger or something, it will definitely not hurt your life. In short, according to different requirements, the executioners here will give different punishments.

"Jia Lao Liu, don't be busy first. This person is the person named by the prince and the little prince, so he will not be busy with the punishment first. Wait for me to report to the prince and see what instructions the prince has. Let him go first, and don't touch him. I'll go and report it. Shen Tan said in a deep voice.

"Obey the order, the commander will go, I will wait here for news."

Shen Tan nodded and turned to leave, and several men glared at Lin Jue. Na Jia Lao Liu stepped forward and circled around Lin Jue twice, frowning and said, "Seeing that you are weak and weak, how did you commit the affairs of our palace?" It's a pity, but the raw ones are thin skin and tender meat, which is weirdly handsome. ”

Another man laughed beside him: "No matter how handsome you are, it won't take long for you to become ugly like a ghost, the finer the skin and tender meat, the more useful the guy will be." Hehe, for a while, Lao Tzu made sure that he didn't have a piece of good meat on him. ”

Jia Lao Liu scolded: "Lao Cui, it's better for you to accumulate some virtue." The means are too poisonous, and they will damage the yin virtue. ”

"Jia Lao Liu, look at what you said. Our brothers do this for a living, and I don't know how many lives have died and how many people have been tortured under our hands. It's been a long time since it's been lost, but now it's about this? A happy life is a life, and we people are going to go to eighteen layers of hell when we die, do you think there is an afterlife? Lao Cui sneered and teased.

Lin Jue was standing against the wall with his hands and feet tied, listening to the two of them, Lin Jue was very worried. Lin Jue is not afraid of death, who has experienced death more times than Lin Jue? I'm afraid there is no one in this world. Everyone has only one life, and when they die, they die. But Lin Jue has already died twice. But Lin Jue was never willing to suffer from punishment, if it was true that death was inevitable this time, then he would also die a dignified death, not be tortured to death.

"Hey, brothers. Please come over for a moment. Lin Jue shouted.

"What?" Jia Lao Liu and Lao Cui turned their heads in surprise and saw that they were talking about the life and death of prisoners in front of them, because they had never treated these people as human beings. No one has ever accosted them here.

"Come here." Lin Jue said with a smile.

Jia Lao Liu and Lao Cui glanced at each other, and Lao Cui stretched out his hand and copied a leather whip and walked over. Jia Lao Liu also followed.

"In Xia Lin Jue, say hello to the two brothers." Lin Jue said with a smile.

"Who do you care? Who are you? When the king of heaven arrives here, our brothers don't know him, and he should be beaten and killed. Old Cui shouted.

Lin Jue was almost so breathed by the rancid smell in his mouth that he was barely breathing, and said with a smile: "I don't have any other intentions in the future." If you offend the prince, you know that you will not be forgiven. Not...... I still have a few taels of silver on me, and I don't need it, so the two brothers took it and divided it, and bought some wine to eat. ”

"How? Want to bribe us? Do you think a few taels of silver will buy us off? I'm dizzy for you. Jia Lao Liu shouted.

Lao Cui smiled and said: "Lao Jia, it's a fool not to earn money." People took the initiative to give it to us, and we didn't steal it, you don't want it, I want it. ”

Lao Cui stretched out his hand and groped in Lin Jue's arms, found a few taels of silver, and put it in his pocket with a smile.

Jia Lao Liu said coldly: "Lao Cui, if this person says it in front of the prince in a while, when you are punished, don't blame me for not covering it up for you." ”

Lao Cui frowned and said: "Don't worry, I will share some of you in a while, I won't swallow it alone, look at you like that." ”

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Don't worry, you two won't say a word in the future." I'm just going to ask you two for a favor. If the prince refuses to spare me for a while, I hope that the two of you can be quicker with their hands and feet, and give them a good time, so as not to suffer in the next place. I went to the underworld to see Lord Yama, and I will say a few good words to the two of you. ”

Jia Lao Liu and Lao Cui never expected Lin Jue to say such a thing, and both of them looked at Lin Jue in a daze.

"Are you crazy, kid? Do people only seek to live, and there are also those who seek death? Give us money to find a good time? It looks like you're not having a small deal. Old Cui smacked his lips and asked.

Lin Jue smiled: "Did any of the people who came to you get out alive?" ”

"This ...... Not really. Lao Cui shook his head and said.

Lin Jue sighed and said, "Isn't this over, what does it have to do with the size of the matter?" Left and right is death. ”

Jia Lao Liu and Lao Cui nodded secretly.

"Don't worry, if we really can't get around you, we'll give you a good time. Not for the sake of the silver, but for the sake of your politeness but hard bones, you hate those who come in and beg for mercy the most, and the most admired is a hard-boned man like you. Lao Cui praised with his big fingers.

"Thank you." Lin Jue smiled and nodded in thanks, and said in his heart: Who the hell wants you to admire, who doesn't want to live, who will beg for death? It's not like there's nothing to think about. I'm going to try my best to survive for a while, and if I really can't think about it, then it's better to have a good time.

Time passed extremely slowly, maybe only half an hour, but in Lin Jue's senses, a few days and years had passed. Lin Jue's mind kept thinking about how to deal with King Liang and them when he saw them next, and what way to let them spare themselves. In short, I have thought of thousands of solutions, but none of them can be sure to work. Because I really don't know much about this King Liang, it is difficult to formulate an effective countermeasure, and it seems that I can only act when the time comes.

Soon after, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and someone entered the courtyard to spread the word. Jia Lao and the sixth old Cui all went out of the house to the courtyard to hear someone report the matter, Lin Jue listened carefully, and only heard a few words about "fleet...... Something happened. The lake bandits ....... People are temporarily detained, and they will be disposed of again ......" and a few other intermittent words.

Not long after, Jia Lao Liu and Lao Cui entered the house and came to Lin Jue, Lao Cui said with a smile: "Count your luck, the prince has some urgent matters to deal with, and he can't be busy with you." Therefore, if I take you into custody for the time being, I will not punish you. ”

Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Obey the order, but I don't know if I can run away from the rope and I'm a scholar?" ”

Lao Cui looked at Jia Lao Liu, and Jia Lao Liu said in a deep voice: "Solve it, let's take people's money, we can't take care of it at all." ”

Lao Cui smiled, took out a knife from his waist, and cut the ropes on Lin Jue's hands and feet. He said in a deep voice: "Lock you into the small black room, you don't have to make a fuss, otherwise you will have to suffer." Don't bother us. ”

Lin Jue arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, thank you." ”

Jia Lao Liu and Lao Cui escorted Lin Jue out of the house one after the other, and there were several low stone huts in the corner of the courtyard, with a radius of no more than four or five feet and a height of no more than four feet, which was basically like a pigsty. Jia Lao Liu and Lao Cui were still compassionate, and picked a clean small stone house covered with hay and locked Lin Jue in.

Lin Jue secretly felt sorry for himself for being treated like this, being locked up here like a pig. It was dark and gloomy, except for the light from the small window on the door. It was absolutely impossible for the hut to stand upright, either stooping over or squatting on the ground like a dog. Of course, Lin Jue couldn't stand stiffly, and he didn't want to squat, so he lay down on the hay. Soon after, he fell asleep.

Jia Lao Liu and Lao Cui came to walk around twice, and when they saw Lin Jue lying asleep in the hut, they both expressed their admiration. I haven't seen anyone who has entered this courtyard and can still sleep soundly after closing this house, this young man is either heartless and heartless, or he is really a real man who is not afraid of death.
