The sound of heavy chains mopping the floor came from outside, and Li Yu, who had a wooden flail around his neck and iron chains on his feet, was grabbed by the arms of two soldiers and walked into the lobby.

Zhao Ziliang sat behind the imperial case opposite and looked at Li Xu, and before he could speak, Li Yu knelt on the ground with a "plop", crawled to the middle of the hall with his hands and feet, and cried and begged for mercy while crawling: "The regent spares his life, spares his life, the kid is all fascinated by the ghost to do such a wrong thing, in fact, this is not the kid's idea, it is all the constant bewitchment of those princes and princes, the kid is young, how can he have such courage and courage?" The kid was forcibly pulled by them to sit on the leading position, but in fact, the kid is just a puppet who can only nod and respond! The regent Mingjian, the kid is forced, the kid is also a victim, if the kid doesn't obey him, they will kill the kid's whole family, the kid is forced to be helpless! ”

Hey? Zhao Ziliang doesn't look like this kid is pretending to act, is this kid really just a puppet and persecuted? Think about it, it seems reasonable, just imagine how a boy who is only twenty years old, how can he have such scheming and scheming to create a secret society to carry out rebellious activities?

Zhao Ziliang looked at the palace ministers and generals standing on the left and right, then turned his gaze back to Li Yu, and asked, "You said that they forced you to be the leader and act in your name, but in fact you are just a puppet controlled by them?" ”

Li Yu nodded as if kowtowing: "Yes, yes, they forced the kid, the kid really didn't want to rebel, and he didn't have the guts, the rebellion was to kill the head and destroy the nine clans, the kid is just a waste who eats, drinks and waits for death, how can he have this ability?" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "Who are they talking about?" ”

Li recited: "It's King Mu, King Chen, King En, King Jian, King Yan! ”

Zhao Ziliang stared at his eyes tightly; "Why did they want you to be the faucet? Who is the main one among these people? ”

"This kid really doesn't know, the kid also wonders, the kid is a waste, let me play with women, cockfights and walk dogs, the kid dares to pat his chest and say that he is also the number one person in the entire Chang'an City, but this headless thing The kid really can't do it, and he doesn't dare! But if anyone is the main among them, the kid thinks it must be Li Jue! ”

"Why?"

Li recited: "Isn't this simple? This old guy is the most scheming, the chicken thief has to die, every time he threatens the kid and makes the kid obedient! ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "They don't look for others, but they just find you as a leader, I don't understand why they want to arrange a waste on top of their heads, even if it is a puppet, it also needs energy to take care of it, they don't seem to have the need to do more; If they are looking for someone with authority in the royal family, it seems that you are not up to the mark, and in terms of blood alone, any of these people, King Mu, King Chen, King En, and King Jian, are closer to the emperor than you! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Ziliang slapped the royal case violently and said angrily: "Li Yu, are you a three-year-old child?" Dare to be clever in front of Lone, Lone wants you to know the consequences of playing Lonely! Come on, drag him out! ”

Several sturdy armor soldiers strode over and dragged Li Yu out, and Li Yu shouted: "The kid is wronged, wronged······"

Li Yu was tied to a big tree in the courtyard, a large cauldron hung on a wooden frame, the full pot of oil had been burned by the raging fire, billowing smoke, on a nearby fire, a tongs with a piece of iron on the fire was already burned red, on the other side, a huge bamboo cage contained dozens of poisonous snakes, these poisonous snakes kept spitting letters, making a hissing sound; There is also a jar filled with many ants that I don't know where to catch them, densely filled with half of the jar.

Tao Jinshui, a thousand households in Xichang, saw that the guy was almost ready, and immediately shouted: "The criminal minister Li Yu actually played with the king, the king has an order, he can't let him die comfortably, let him taste all kinds of torture, let him not survive, can't die!" Come on, strip him naked and throw him into the snake cage, let him be close to the viper brothers! ”

"Yes!" The four big men agreed, came to the big tree to untie Li Yu, and put him on the edge of the snake cage, and the poisonous snakes in the snake cage saw a person appear above their heads, and immediately turned their heads to show an attacking state, and the letter kept spitting, making a creepy sound.

"Ah······ Don't, don't······ I'm afraid of snakes, let go of me, let go of me······" Li Yu screamed in horror and struggled with his hands and feet, but under the control of the four big men, he was thrown into the snake cage without any suspense.

"Ah······ Ah······h Li Yu let out a series of heart-rending screams, which made all the soldiers and officials in the courtyard feel that their hairs stood on end and goosebumps came out.

It didn't take long for the naked Li Yu to scream in horror and staggered up from the snake cage, with many poisonous snakes hanging on his body, these poisonous snakes were biting his skin, he was so frightened that he kept screaming, pulling off the poisonous snakes on his body and throwing them into the distance, but the poisonous snakes kept biting him in the snake cage, and he finally fainted with fright and fell into the snake cage.

I don't know how long it took, Li Yu was woken up by a basin of cold water, he hit a spirit, he felt just cold on his body, but the pain was unbearable, he opened his eyes and saw that he was still naked and tied to the big tree in the yard, the boiling oil in the oil pot was still rolling, and the iron in the fire was still red.

Li Yu looked down and immediately let out a long shout: "Ah·······hhhhhh

I saw that there were countless tooth marks on his body that had been bitten by poisonous snakes, and among these tooth marks there were more than four or five, and as few as two or three tooth holes, and his whole body was everywhere, and now these bitten parts were all swollen and began to turn black, which was a sign of poisoning.

Tao Jinshui walked over and looked at Li Yu, observed for a while, and made an incredible voice in his mouth: "Tut-tut······ It's the first time I've seen a person bitten by a poisonous snake out of so many wounds, it's amazing, it's incredible, now your whole body is swollen, the wound has begun to change color, and soon the snake venom is flowing from the wound along the blood to the heart, and then from the heart to the brain and the whole body, including the internal organs, you will soon feel dizzy and confused, but don't worry, I won't let you be poisoned, and so many punishments you haven't tasted, how can I bear to let you be poisoned? Come on, take the detoxification soup and pour it into him, don't waste it, these medicinal materials are all bought with money! ”

"Yes, sir!"

A hundred households in the West Factory came over with a bowl of decoction, and a strong man next to him broke Li Chen's mouth and pinched his nose, and the hundred households poured the decoction into Li Chen's mouth, Li Yu could only rely on mouth breathing, and drank all the decoction that was poured down.

"Okay, okay, Li Yu, the snake venom in your body will be lifted soon, so you don't have to worry about being poisoned, I wonder if you have rested? Let's play the second game, there is an underground secret here, there are a lot of ice cubes in it that are usually used to store wine and food, so the secret room is extremely cold, and the snakes are all creatures of the cold attribute, they like to be warm and hate the cold, so if they are poured into the secret room, they will immediately find a warm place to live, and your body is the warmest place in the secret room, they will crawl straight to you, but the area on your body is limited, and there are many snakes that can't keep warm, Then they will burrow into your body from your mouth and feces to warm your body until your belly is full······"

Li Yu's face is like the color of earth, and his body is like shaking chaff.

Tao Jinshui waved his hand; "Come, send him to the secret room, and pour all these snakes into the secret room!"

"Yes, sir!"

Li Yu imagined the situation when the poisonous snake got into his body from his mouth and the dung door, the will in his heart could no longer hold on, and he collapsed instantly, he immediately shouted: "Don't, don't, I say, I say, I say everything, I'm not Li Yu, I'm just a stand-in, I don't want to die, let me go, I'll tell you everything I know, as long as you let me go!" ”

Tao Jinshui was stunned when he heard this, he was just ordered to torture Li Yu, find a way to torture him, and let him taste all kinds of torture. What did Li Chan just say? He immediately raised his hand and shouted, "Wait! ”

The strong men who were about to take Li Yu stopped, and Tao Jinshui walked up to Li Yu and asked, "What did you just say?" You said you weren't Li Yu, just a stand-in? ”

This fake Li Yu immediately said: "Yes, yes, I am just a stand-in, not Xuanwang Li Xu, my name is Liu Yiren, and I am an orphan who was adopted by the old eunuch Peng next to Xuanwang Li Xu!" My lord, I don't want to die, as long as the adult promises not to kill me, I say, I'll say anything, as long as I know, I'll say everything! ”

Li Yu and the old eunuch Peng did not expect that the stand-in would be revived after taking poison, let alone that the stand-in would never have the determination and courage to die after experiencing death, and he would collapse in the face of these tortures.

It stands to reason that even a stand-in is a key figure in the rebellion case, and Tao Jinshui is not qualified to decide the life and death of this stand-in, but in order to let the fake Li Yu spit out all the secrets he knows, he rolled his eyes and immediately promised to agree: "Okay, as long as you tell everything you know, this official can make a proposal to the king to ensure that you don't die, after all, you are just a stand-in, and you are also forced, not even an accomplice!" ”

Liu Yiren nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I was coerced, I am not even an accomplice, what do adults want to know, just ask, as long as the villain knows, the villain will never hide it!" ”
