Chapter XXIII: The Torture Chamber

When the teenagers went to ask Miss for peace, there was no sign that Han Shiqi's death was known, there were two slaves missing, and Miss didn't notice it, only Xue Niang frowned and asked, the six teenagers looked at each other speechlessly, she shook her head dissatisfiedly, but didn't ask.

Back at the Salary Yard, Han Jinu still didn't notice that there were two people missing, until it was close to noon, he wanted to find Qi Nu and Xie Nu to ask again, and finally found that there were only six teenagers left in the courtyard.

"What about people?"

Han Jinu looked very surprised, it was impossible for him to have someone disappear in Jinpeng Castle, so it was unimaginable.

The teenagers still looked at each other and were speechless.

Han Jinu turned from surprise to anger, picked up the mahogany stick, and hit the teenagers without a head, "Dare to make trouble behind my back! Dare to make trouble behind my back! You are all in a gang, did those two little rabbit cubs go with the third brother?"

The teenagers dodged and said they didn't know.

There was a lot of commotion in the courtyard, and the door of the east courtyard was pushed open, and it was not the slaves who sent the dying man in, but a group of men in black, dressed slightly different from the killers, with belts not red, green and yellow, and no knives on their bodies.

Seeing these people, Han Jinu's expression was even more panicked than when he saw the killer, the mahogany stick in his hand fell to the ground, his mouth opened wide, his knees bent involuntarily, and he couldn't say a word, I don't know if he wanted to bow or fall down.

The people in black were silent, and they didn't introduce themselves, they rushed up, and Han Jinu, who was paralyzed into soft mud, left quickly, and someone locked the west courtyard door that had never been locked inside, and locked the east courtyard door outside when leaving.

No one explained to the nervous teenagers that they were now imprisoned in a wage earner house, and that no one knew anything about the charges except Gu Shenwei.

There were also two injured people in the courtyard who had been sent the day before yesterday, and they usually avoided entering the room of the two of them as much as possible, but they ran in together, and they wanted to prove to Jinpeng Castle that they were still useful.

No one delivered food at noon, which was a bad omen.

The two injured people didn't survive long, they died before it got dark, the door of the west courtyard leading to the Ghost Cliff was locked, and the corpses could only be left on the kang and became stiff a little.

"I didn't do anything, we didn't do anything, didn't we? Han Ji slave caused trouble, it won't affect us, right?"

The young man called Zhaonu suddenly spoke, no one spoke for a long time, they just felt uneasy, but they didn't know what was going on, only Gu Shenwei could guess the approximately, but he wouldn't reveal a word.

"Xue Niang will save us, we are all young lady's people, we swore an oath. Another young slave looked at his companions with hopeful eyes, trying to gain some confidence from others.

The teenagers nodded their heads, and suddenly they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Shenwei also nodded, but thought in his heart: Miss and Xue Niang will not save them, if they had this idea and ability, they would not have let them stay in the salary house to wait for the dead in the first place, and the eight young masters also needed slaves in the courtyard, but they still didn't want them to leave.

The days of calling for wind and rain in the bandit camp of the daughter of the big head god ended as soon as she got on the sedan chair.

In the evening, the man in black with the yellow belt came again, this time with only two people, one of whom gave a brief order to the six panicked teenagers:

"Come with us. ”

The teenagers were apprehensive, but they didn't dare to ask, and honestly followed out of the Salary Yard, which was once a place they wanted to leave, but now it was as nostalgic as home.

Gu Shenwei kept his composure, and even a little optimistic, the yellow belt didn't tie anyone, probably just wanted to ask about the situation, the facts are obvious, a killer is missing, two slaves suddenly disappeared, anyone will link the two things together, and no one will suspect the person who stays.

Gu Shenwei's idea is not entirely correct.

The Yellow Belt was the chief prisoner of the Washing Heart Courtyard, and the teenagers were brought here to be greeted with a very formal interrogation.

The Washing Heart Courtyard is not far from the Salary Accumulation Courtyard, only separated by a small courtyard that does not know the purpose, which is also called the Ghost Courtyard, which is the place where Jinpeng Fort is in charge of punishment.

Gu Shenwei once wanted to come to this courtyard to find his sister's whereabouts, but now he knows that it is in vain to come, and the cells where the prisoners are held in the Xixin Courtyard are all underground, heavily guarded, and it is impossible for outsiders to snoop on them.

There are also "prisoners" in the killer organization, and Gu Shenwei thinks it is ironic.

The teenagers were taken to an underground torture chamber, which seemed to be very well utilized, and the floor was covered with greasy sludge, which the teenagers had sent away several of the dying who had been sent by the Washing Temple, all of whom were stained with this sludge, as Haruku had said when he was still alive, that the mud was mixed with human flesh, and that his judgment was close to accurate judging from the mutilated limbs of the dying man.

There were many strange instruments of torture in the room, and there were chains everywhere, and in one corner a prisoner hung limply on a wooden frame, his skin peeled and fleshy, and there was no human appearance, and when he groaned, the young man exclaimed in unison.

That person was Han Jinu.

In the morning, he was still in charge of the Accumulation Hospital, and at this time he was qualified to go back to the hospital and wait for death.

One teenager fainted on the spot, and two others stayed where they were, unable to move a single step, dripping liquid from their trouser legs.

There were more than a dozen people standing in the execution room, not only the yellow belt in charge of the execution, but also other people, a few of them were not even dressed in black, they didn't care about the fear of the teenagers, who would be surprised if they could still maintain their composure after entering the Washing Heart Courtyard.

Gu Shenwei felt that his legs were trembling, and he felt the urge to turn around and run away.

He is a descendant of the Gu family in the Central Plains, and after the official eunuch, his playmates in the Central Plains are the sons of generals and ministers, and torture is a legend like ghosts and gods to them.

How could he have fallen to this? Isn't it enough for his family to be ruined, but also for him to experience the most humiliating death?

No one thought that there was a young master of the Gu family among the teenagers, and he would not understand the feelings in his heart, the executioner skillfully tied the six people to different wooden shelves, and began to carry out the whipping without asking a word.

No one dared to resist.

This is the rule of the Washing Heart Courtyard, no matter what you have done or not, recruit or not, you must first undergo a punishment, and the whipping is already the lightest dismount.

After the flogging, the executioner ordered the juveniles to speak, but did not say what they wanted to know.

The teenagers scrambled to confess and said everything, even saying that they had poured tea for Han Jinu, and they thought that the person who had the accident was the director of this hospital.

Next, the prisoner asked the teenagers to talk about the missing Qi Nu and Xie Nu, which led to a bunch of details.

Although it is all nonsense, the prisoners are still silent, and they just want to find loopholes in this nonsense and see who is really in the know.

Before the torture, his legs were still weak, but after the whip was blown, Gu Shenwei's fear vanished, and the pain in his flesh was only pain, which was insignificant compared to the pain hidden in his heart.

But he also screamed, and confessed nonsense, this was the first time he had entered the torture chamber, the first time he had faced the executioner, but his heart was surprisingly clear and clear, and all kinds of tricks were clear in his eyes, and he wanted to pretend to be indistinguishable from an ordinary teenager, and at the same time secretly observe.

The people who questioned were all minions, and there were only two people in power who were really in charge, all of whom were standing in the distance, as if they had nothing to do with themselves.

One of them was dressed in black and yellow, tall, with a gloomy complexion, apparently the steward of the Washing Temple, and the other was dressed in a gray robe, very short and thin, with a thoughtful expression on his face, like a pedant.

None of them wore the killer's signature narrow knife.

When the interrogation was over, the prisoners stepped aside, and sure enough, it was the two men who spoke to make a judgment.

"They couldn't say anything, the two house slaves were acting alone. The tall and thin yellow belt was the first to speak, and the teenagers' hearts were relieved.

"Well, it seems so, but don't be careless, some children are also very insidious, especially when they are taught by adults. The thin gray robe said casually, with a respectful smile on his face, as if he were not talking about the matter, but pointing out a universal fact.

"It's also possible that these children haven't been in the fort for a long time, and they haven't been in contact with many adults, so it must be easy to find out who is behind them, what do you say, Mr. Guo?"

The gray robe known as "Mr. Guo" showed an extremely obvious expression of surprise, "Lord Shen Dao, you misunderstood what I meant, I just think I can't easily trust these little guys, Han Shiqi is a killer, just a few teenagers, it seems impossible to plot against him." ”

Han Shiqi is his real name, and most of the Jinpeng Castle killers are not well-known, so there is no need to use a fake name when performing tasks.

Shen Dao Master and Mr. Guo had a disagreement, the former seemed to want to make a big thing small, but the latter wanted to dig deep and chase after him.

Gu Shenwei reminded himself that if he could get out of the ghost courtyard alive, he would have to inquire carefully, and every bit of contradiction within Jinpeng Castle might be helpful to the great cause of revenge.

The interrogation was carried out intermittently, but there was no focus, the executioner seemed to be pulling around, Gu Shenwei had a feeling that this was deliberately arranged, every time the teenagers mentioned Xue Niang and the eighth young grandmother, the executioner would not ask questions, and the smart teenager had already understood, and never mentioned the things in the eighth young master's courtyard again.

I don't know how long it took, Shen Dao Master and Mr. Guo left and came back several times, and neither of them spoke much after that, and they didn't show their differences and contradictions, but they didn't look at each other.

The eighth young lord Shangguan Nu also came once, this was the second time Gu Shenwei had seen the enemy of the annihilation door, the distance was farther, and the chance of revenge was even slimmer.

Shangguan Nu just looked at it and left without saying anything, during which he nodded at the Shen Dao Master, but turned a blind eye to Mr. Guo, who instead respectfully looked at the Young Master.

Around midnight, several black-clothed men rushed in without saying hello, threw something on the ground, bowed to Shen Dao Master and Mr. Guo, and immediately withdrew.

That thing was a living person, and when he raised his head, the first person to see it was Gu Shenwei.

Qi Nu was arrested.
