The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

[The pocket watch left in the cellar in the previous chapter was deleted because it was found to be of little use. 】

Tick...tick...tick...

How long has this tick-and-tack movement lasted from the initial crispness like a jade plate to the softness of water and milk?

Is it two hours? Or three hours?

Although every quarter of an hour, someone would bring a lantern to look down, but the shopkeeper Wu couldn't remember exactly how many times that person had come down.

Because as long as he recalled these details, he felt like his head was sap, numbness, soreness, and a trace of unforgettable itching, making him want to hiss and scream, split his head, so it is useful for life. Scratch your hand!

But he can't do anything.

Not to mention that the limbs were tightly bound, and even the tongue in his mouth was firmly pressed against the lower jaw by a flat copper tube that looked like a spoon.

Thinking of this brass tube, shopkeeper Wu's shortness of breath and hair stuffy chest began to churn again.

At this moment, he no longer had to think about it anymore, and he was busy suppressing the nausea of ​​being overwhelmed because his previous experience had proved that the result of vomiting would only be self-inflicted!

After finally suppressing the feeling of vomiting, the shopkeeper Wu was free again, thinking about the current situation.

I'm about to die, right?

Numbness of the limbs, chest tightness, shortness of breath, nausea and retching, splitting headache, and even the only functioning ear is screaming frantically.

All of this made shopkeeper Wu extremely convinced that his time of death was approaching, and the sound of blood dripping behind him was a death knell urging him to step toward hell.

Click... Click...

At this moment, a faint sound seemed to be coming from far away. Immediately afterwards, a dim bright color came into the eyes of shopkeeper Wu.

Is it time to visit again?

How many times is this?

Eighth, ninth, or tenth time?

Shopkeeper Wu really can't remember, but there is a feeling in his heart that this may be the last time he has seen light in his life!

So no matter how dizzy he was, he still opened his eyes desperately, staring greedily at the dim light.

"If you want to live, just say a word."

It wasn't until a man's voice came into his ears from a place close at hand that shopkeeper Wu suddenly realized that the person had arrived in front of him.

If you want to live, just say a word!

If you want to live, just say...

If you want to live...

if……

That person should have just said it, but shopkeeper Wu's mind is full of ‘echoes’!

What followed was a violent conflict between the desire to survive and the will to faith.

This kind of conflict is not the first time. Shopkeeper Wu has also found a way to resist. He desperately recalled the scene where his parents and relatives were slaughtered by the officers and soldiers, recalled the life-saving grace of the Holy Church, recalled...

However, this time the desire to survive is much stronger than before!

In addition, there was a burst of pain in his head, which fragmented those long-term memories, so that he could hardly bear it, and wanted to obey the fear in his heart, wagging his tail like a wild dog for mercy.

In desperation, the shopkeeper Wu had to offer his assassin again in his heart.

Juan'er didn't give in to these dog legs. Is she a great man, can't she be compared to a weak female stream? !

Do not!

no way!

I'm a man...

"He...hehe..."

Just as the shopkeeper Wu was desperately suppressing his desire to survive, a vague moan suddenly came into his ears.

Then there was a surprise voice: "Why, do you want to confess?!"

Did he moan inadvertently? !

This was the first thought that the shopkeeper Wu came up with in a trance, but then he realized that it was not the case, because in addition to the vague sound, there were more rattles of iron chains.

This kind of movement, when he tried to break free, the shopkeeper Wu did not know how many times he had heard it, but the problem was that he was not struggling at all!

Is it Xu Juan? !

Could it be that she... actually wants to betray the brothers and sisters of the Holy Church? !

"Okay, I'll take you out to stop the bleeding."

The voice of surprise sounded again, making shopkeeper Wu instantly confirm his guess, and then a monstrous anger rose from his chest.

He didn't even know why he was angry. All he could think about was one question: How dare you betray the holy religion? !

So he no longer had any scruples, sobbed excitedly and struggled, wishing to bite the brass chew in his mouth and swallow his stomach, even if it would cause his intestines to pierce his stomach, as long as he could confront Xu Shi in person It's dead and no regrets!

Unexpectedly, the movement behind him also suddenly became violent. It seemed that Xu Shi was afraid that his struggling movement would cover his begging for mercy.

This bitch, this **** bitch!

Shopkeeper Wu roared from the bottom of his heart, and suddenly took a short blow on the back of his head. The original vague consciousness suddenly stopped...

In the muddle, I don't know how long it has been.

Shopkeeper Wu was in a daze, and he felt that some warm liquid slipped down along the tongue coating and soaked his dry throat.

He swallowed two mouthfuls subconsciously, but his teeth were on something hard.

This should be the chewing head that the dog thieves of Long Jianwei put on themselves.

However, the copper tube pressing the tongue has been pulled away.

and many more!

Xu Juan seems to have...

Shopkeeper Wu suddenly opened his eyes, and the first thing that caught his eye was a dazzling light.

He squinted his eyes subconsciously, and saw the person holding the lamp hurriedly backing half a step back. Although it was not very real, the unicorn wrapped in his white and shapely figure was for Wu's shopkeeper. Her identity was confirmed instantly.

"Juan'er..."

Shopkeeper Wu spit out these two words dry and vague, and he saw that Xu Shi seemed to be frightened and turned his head and ran towards the door.

"Juan'er!"

Shopkeeper Wu tried his best to shout again, Xu finally stopped, but did not turn back, but turned his back to her husband, and uttered three words: "Yes...I'm sorry."

Before the voice was over, the man had already escaped.

Ugh!

The shopkeeper Wu, who had fallen into the darkness again, couldn't help but sighed up to the sky, but there was no longer the initial anger, only all thoughts and a piece of relief were left in that situation, and he almost couldn't help wanting to confess, let alone his wife's weak character Female stream?

That's it, that's it!

It's a big deal that I would die for her martyrdom, just to repay her some karma.

Thinking like this, I saw that the curtain was picked up, and someone came in with a lantern. The headed one was burly like an iron tower, and it was the famous ‘Blue Sky Divine Judgment’ Sun Master.

But he said that after Sun Shaozong entered the door, he hooked a stool with his toes, and the Da Ma Jindao sat down in front of the bed and asked with a smile, "Treasurer Wu, Mrs. Zun has chosen to cast out the dark, but I don't know what you think now."

"Pooh!"

His wife has betrayed the Holy Religion. No matter how tight-lipped, it won’t help. Shopkeeper Wu has no scruples in his heart, and immediately yells: “You must be proud of your thief. Lao Tzu is a place where you have no burial. Will not recognize the thief as the father!"

"Now that the pseudo dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, you will be a prisoner of my sacred church any day, and then Lao Tzu will be in the Yin Cao Jifu, waiting to see how you can't survive or die!"

Hearing that he was still so stiff at this time, the two Dragon Guards who followed could not help being angry.

Sun Shaozong did not change his smile, and shook his head slightly and said: "Treasurer Wu, since Madam Zun has agreed to confess, what is the point of rejecting people like this from thousands of miles away?"

"Humph!"

Shopkeeper Wu sneered and said: "If that's the case, why don't you ask me again?!"

These words blurted out, and then some doubts flashed in his messy mind. Since Xu Juan has already agreed to confess, the eagle dog, surnamed Sun, is still interrogating himself for what he is doing?

Just listen to Sun Shaozong said: "Naturally, it is to check the deficiencies and confirm the authenticity of the confession. Although Mrs. Zun may not dare to make up indiscriminately, the greater the grasp of such things, the better. Otherwise, once the grass is scared, will it not be a waste of all previous efforts?

This explanation is reasonable.

Shopkeeper Wu grinned, revealing the bronze ball of mouth full of saliva, and asked grimly: "Do you think I will be obediently at your mercy?"

"Tsk."

Sun Shaozong slapped his lips, changed a lazy sitting position, and shook his head: "If I were you, I wouldn't be so eager to make a decision. At least I should consider the current situation first."

Situation?

What's your current situation?

Shopkeeper Wu snorted from the bottom of his heart and tried to tilt his head to the inside to show that he didn't want to listen to Sun Shaozong's next nonsense, and by the way, he studied the possibility of hitting the wall and committing suicide.

"first of all."

But regardless of whether he cooperates or not, Sun Shaozong’s plain, watery voice is still clear to his ears: “Whether you choose to be lenient or lenient in the end, Bailian Sect will get the news that you have betrayed even if they don’t believe it at first. As long as Mrs. Zun takes part in the operation of our Beizhen Fusi several times, 80% of this matter will be settled."

"Shameless! Damn you..."

Shopkeeper Wu suddenly turned his head and was about to yell at him, but a brass tube was forced into the ball of the mouth, and his tongue was firmly fixed to his chin.

"Anyway."

Sun Shaozong’s voice is still Wu Bo, as if the copper pipe was not stuffed in by himself: "You have been betrayed by the name of this apostate. Everyone who learns about it will be To spit on you extremely; everyone who is implicated in you will be retaliated against by the White Lotus Sect."

"of course."

A smile appeared on Sun Shaozong's face: "If you are willing to give up the secret and make enough credit, it is not impossible for us to come forward and protect your relatives and friends."

Before I finished speaking, I listened to the crunch of the wooden bed, the rattling of the iron chains, and even the chucking of the ball, which was bitten by the shopkeeper Wu.

Sun Shaozong cast a wink, and the Long Jianwei beside him immediately stepped forward and pulled out the brass tube from the ball of his mouth.

"Pooh!"

I heard the shopkeeper Wu sipped desperately, and roared: "Lao Tzu's family, as early as 17 years ago, you were all killed by your eagle-dog grandchildren..."

The brass tube returned to its place, and the roar stopped abruptly.

"cough!"

After making such an oolong, even with Sun Shaozong's city mansion, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. After clearing his throat, he continued: "The more so, the more the treasurer Wu should cherish the only remaining family talents around him."

"Even if your parents are under Jiuquan, they don't necessarily want you to die in vain, and you have to be full of infamy."

Hearing the four characters'infamous', the shopkeeper Wu struggled fiercely, but Sun Shaozong did not give him a chance to speak this time, and continued: "Actually, think about it in another way. The rewards and the return of the sages and wives to their hometowns are not a comfort to the ancestors of the Wu family."

Ok.

This argument, even Sun Shaozong himself feels a bit far-fetched, but there is no way, who would have thought that this shopkeeper Wu is a bitter and hated?

You have to find some words first, and make this happen.

The next ones are what Sun Shaozong originally wanted to tell him.

"I know, you might be thinking of a hundred deaths, but can you really be a hundred deaths with this death?"

"Don't talk about others, let's talk about Mrs. Zun first."

"I, Yang Baihu, said that even in the face of threats to insult Madam Zun, you still grit your teeth and refuse to say a word. But what if Madam Zun took the initiative to dedicate her life, or half-push it?"

Shopkeeper Wu's struggle became fierce again, so that Sun Shaozong had to order people to suppress him, and then continued: "You probably want to refute me, thinking that Mrs. Zun will definitely not be so shameless, right?"

"But don't forget, she is now different from before. In order to survive, she will not hesitate to betray your comrades and your Maitreya King..."

Sun Shaozong leaned forward slightly, looking directly at shopkeeper Wu's bloodshot eyes: "Even if you want to betray your husband!"

There was a pause, until in the anger of shopkeeper Wu, he saw a trace of panic, and Sun Shaozong sat back in his spare time, and continued to say in a plain tone: "After experiencing this, how can you guarantee that she Wouldn't you betray your body in order to continue to live?"

"A woman from the White Lotus Sect, without a man's blessing, she has a bit of beauty..."

"You should also know that the people in Fusi in Beizhen are not all pure-hearted gentlemen. Possession of a widow of Bailian's rebellious party may be for them to vent, or adjust, or for revenge. "

"The purpose is not important. The important thing is because of Mrs. Zun's birth and weakness, they don't have much scruples at all."

"In the face of this ensuing persecution, Mrs. Zun would either rather die than obey, or compromise as it is today, and sell her body half way and half."

"In view of her choice today, I think the latter is more likely, what do you think?"

"Of course, by then she will definitely regret, cry, and even chant your name silently under different men."

"As time goes by, she may become accustomed to actively using her body in exchange for something, or she may have been half pushing and half pushing down."

"Until one day ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ she will come to your grave with her pregnant belly, light incense candles and pray, saying that after this child is born, he will let him follow your surname Wu."

"How? Do you feel very touched? Do you feel that deep down in her heart, she still remembers you all the time?"

"Haha, but the child's surname is Wu, probably because even Mrs. Zun himself can't figure out whose kind this child is!"

Having said this, Sun Shaozong finally stopped, and then winked at the little school Long Jianwei beside him.

"You beast, donkey and dog..."

The moment the copper tube was pulled out, countless swear words spouted from the shopkeeper Wu's mouth, and there was even scarlet blood mixed in the saliva star.

Sun Shaozong was still indifferent. Until the shopkeeper Wu didn’t catch his breath, he smiled back and said: “Swear, continue to swear, until the swearing feels good, and then, you think about it again. The wife of the same respect returned home in splendor, still meaninglessly dying!"

After speaking, he didn't look at the shopkeeper Wu again, got up and walked outside the door.
