Ten thousand people think gloom is reborn

I looked at Lin Chongtan through the iron fence, until my wrist was pulled, and the prince's voice was beside me, "Be careful with your feet, don't get your shoes dirty with dirty blood."

I hummed in a low voice.

The jailer stepped forward and opened the cell door. Lin Chongtan's cell was larger than the previous cells. There were seven or eight guards leading the way, and four of them stepped into the cell and lit the candles in the cell.

Under the bright lights, I could clearly see the various instruments of torture in the cell, most of which I could not name.

One of the iron benches had residual crimson lumps on it.

The jailer pressed twice on a mechanism on the wall, and the chain rope in Lin Chongtan's hands became longer.Once the chain was long, he was no longer hung by the chain, and he staggered a few steps, but he quickly stabilized his body and looked at us calmly, or more precisely, at the prince.

"Forgive me for disheveled clothes, my minister Lin Chongtan greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Although he said hello, he didn't salute.

The prince let out a very light laugh, "As expected of Tan Sheng." He turned his gaze to the jailer in the cell, "How do you usually greet Zhuangyuan Lang? I just want to take a good look today."

"Yes."

The jailers took orders, and they pressed Lin Chongtan on the iron cross, took the whip from the wall, and rolled water in the bucket again.

The jailer behind us explained to us: "The water is salted water, and the whip that is wet with water hurts the most."

As soon as he finished speaking, the jailer in the cell had already whipped Lin Chongtan's back.The whip seemed to have the potential to break through the air. When the tail of the whip swept the ground, I almost thought that the floor tiles would crack.

I can't count how many lashes the jailer whipped, and each lash was extremely fast. I only saw more and more blood on Lin Chongtan's back clothes, but he never spoke, he didn't even hum, if it wasn't for Lin Chongtan was trembling, I thought he was not in pain.

"Is that all? Our No. [-] scholar didn't make a sound." The prince said in a very cold tone.

All the jailers present showed expressions of panic, and they hurriedly apologized to the prince for forgiveness.The prince touched the jade wrench in his hand indifferently, "If you want to forgive alone, then you have to show your housekeeping skills."

The guards took orders, and one of the guards picked up the bucket of salt water that had just been filled and splashed it on Lin Chongtan's back.With this splash, Lin Chongtan trembled all over, and his hand that was locked by the chains was suddenly clenched, and after a while, his hand was loosened again.

A jailer carefully looked at Lin Chongtan's face, then turned and walked to the corner of the cell.I noticed that there was a robe in the corner, the dark blue crane cloak I saw Lin Chongtan wearing in Library Pavilion last time, the white crane on it had turned into a flamingo.

The jailer was rummaging through things, and when he found it, I realized that he was rummaging through Lin Chongtan's old medicine bag.The jailer was about to take medicine from the medicine bag, but was stopped by the prince.

"what is that?"

"His Royal Highness, it is the medicine that the sinner Lin Chongtan took in the past. He has a weak body, and sometimes he can't survive the punishment, so the servants will feed him the medicine and continue the punishment." The jailer replied.

The prince didn't know what to think of, and stretched out his hand to the jailer, "Show it to Gu."

Just as the jailer was about to do so, Lin Chongtan, who had been silent until now, suddenly turned his head.He stared at the prince closely, his face paler than before.The prince seemed to have guessed something, he laughed loudly, and then urged the jailer, "Don't give it to Gu?"

The jailer immediately sent the medicine package to the prince.The prince opened the medicine bag, he took out a pill, put it in his nose and sniffed it, then crushed it with his fingers without interest.Standing next to the prince, I saw a corner of the exquisite snuff bottle pressed by pills in the medicine bag.

The prince also noticed it, and he took out the snuff bottle.When he opened it, the chain on Lin Chongtan's side rang a few times.The prince raised his eyes immediately, stared at Lin Chongtan for a while, then threw the snuff bottle from the iron bars to the cell floor.

"Smash that thing," the prince ordered the jailer.

As soon as his voice fell, Lin Chongtan rushed towards the snuff bottle while struggling.The movement of his pounce became bigger, and the hem of his clothes was lifted up, so I saw the injury to his knee.

Bloodstained, flesh and blood blurred, no wonder he staggered just now.

The jailer wanted to stop Lin Chongtan, but was stopped by the prince.

"Don't stop."

But Lin Chongtan didn't go very far, he knelt on the ground on one knee because of his leg injury, he couldn't stand up, so he gritted his teeth and crawled over, reaching for the snuff bottle on the ground, the second half of the prince's words also sounded , "Continue to hit Gu."

I couldn't help looking at the prince when I heard the words, and the jailers also looked at each other, but they were all good at executing torture, so they quickly understood what the prince meant, and the hammer used to smash the snuff bottle fell high.

Before the hammer hit the snuff bottle, one hand grabbed the snuff bottle first.

The hammer didn't stop, and fell directly on Lin Chongtan's right hand, which used to hold the pen and write shocking poems.I saw Lin Chongtan's right hand tremble violently, and his fingers had abnormal spasms.

The second hammer fell immediately.

But Lin Chongtan still didn't let go, he held the snuff bottle tightly, his eyes were red, and when his hand was smashed seven or eight times, there was a weeping neigh in his throat.

Hearing the sound, the jailer spread his hands away.The snuff bottle shattered in Lin Chongtan's palm, and the fragments pierced into the palm, and the bloody flesh was mixed with off-white powder.

"Your Highness, the sinner Lin Chongtan's right hand bone has been shattered, do you want to smash it again?" a jailer asked.

I watched Lin Chongtan's hands spread out in a distorted gesture. If I covered Lin Chongtan's face, I wouldn't be able to recognize that it was his hand.

Lin Chongtan's hands are extremely beautiful, with well-defined joints, slender and strong.Although he holds a pen all the year round, his hands are free of calluses. I used to envy his hand, and I envied that hand not only for writing good articles, but also for playing music, ordering tea, and archery.

But now that hand was bloody and shapeless, like a disgusting mass of flesh.

The prince said: "Since the snuff bottle is already broken, there is no need to smash it. Why is this expression? Scared?"

The second half of his sentence is speaking to me.

I shook my head slowly, "Don't be afraid, I only hate him, brother prince, can I have a private meeting with him? I have resentment in my heart, but I don't want you to see my resentful and ugly face."

The prince smiled softly at me, "Of course, I will wait for you outside, and call someone when you get better."

The crown prince retreated with the jailer, I avoided the blood stains on the ground and walked up to Lin Chongtan, he seemed to have lost sight of the others, and only stared blankly at the palm of his hand.

"Lin Chongtan." I called his name.

He finally raised his eyes to look at me, his complexion was like paper, and his lips were blue.

"Up to now, I want to ask you a few things." I took a deep breath, "You asked Duan Xinting to push me into the lake, right?"

Lin Chongtan heard my words, and turned his gaze to the outside of the cell. I just wanted to follow his gaze and wonder what he was looking at, when I heard his hoarse voice, "Yes."

I looked at him suddenly, my teeth chattering unconsciously.Although I knew earlier that he asked Duan Xinting to kill me, but now, after hearing his confession, I still can't control my emotions.

"You also killed Liangji?" I asked word by word.

Lin Chongtan stared at me, with a smile on his lips, "Yes."

"Why? Why did you do this? Is the identity of the second young master of the Lin family so important?" I seemed to be crying.

But he laughed lowly, "It's important, why should a person like you have a good background? As long as you are here, I will always be the fake young master of the Lin family. To be honest, from the first day you came to the Lin family, I was thinking about how to kill you calmly. I wanted the prince to kill you, but he just locked you in the box, so I had no choice but to change someone. But Duan Xinting is a terrible Useful, talking so much nonsense with you before you die.

To be honest, I really feel a pity after you die, after all, there are not many people who sleep well like you.Who knew that you could become the Ninth Prince, so I have no choice but to approach you again.Coax you, lie to you, let you take the initiative to lie under me.You believe that I love you, so that you will not take revenge on me, maybe I can get more.I just didn't expect you to become smarter in this life. "

I gritted my teeth, and it took me a long time before I said, "Since that's the case, why would you rather give up your hands to protect the snuff bottle?"

Lin Chongtan's smile gradually disappeared.

I wiped the tears off my face and answered this question for him, "Because you really fell in love with Lin Chundi, you fell in love with that foolish Lin Chundi who believed you loved you."

When he heard my words, his expression changed drastically, and I could understand the disbelief in his eyes.

I said word by word: "Lin Chundi loved you before, he still loved you until he died, and he wanted to grab the seal you gave him before he was drowned, but you killed him. Even if you don't write poems for him , even if you take his status as the second young master of the Lin family, he will still fall in love with you. Tell me, how can there be such a stupid person in the world? But fortunately, there is no more Lin Chundi in the world. "

Lin Chongtan's face turned pale, and his right hand, which had been smashed to pieces, moved slightly, but only slightly, and he murmured: "No...not..."

After I had calmed down, I raised my voice and called out.The prince and the jailer walked over again, and I looked at the jailer, "Didn't you say there are other punishments? Let's go together."

When the prince heard what I said, his eyes flashed, and then he walked to my side, and gently hugged my shoulders, "It seems that the anger in my brother's heart has not yet come out." He said to the jailer, "Be branded."

Branding torture, using red-hot iron stamped on the prisoner's body.

The jailer burned the iron tool, then dragged Lin Chongtan from the ground, and tied it frontally to the iron frame again.They tore off Lin Chongtan's skirt, and were about to print the iron tools on it, when I suddenly spoke.

"Wait," I said, "I want to do it myself."

The prince patted my shoulder with his hand, and said softly, "Why do you do it yourself, be careful of burning your hands."

I turned my head to look at the prince, "If I don't come by myself, I can't express the hatred in my heart."

"Brother, be careful." The prince asked the jailer to guide me well.

Under the guidance of the jailer, I grabbed the iron tool, and the other end of the iron tool was burned red.Lin Chongtan was tied to an iron frame and looked like he was going to faint at any moment, but he was staring at me right now.

I met his gaze and imprinted the iron tool on his chest.

There was a sound of skin scalding, Lin Zhongtan didn't say a word, but blood was oozing from the corners of his lips.He stared at me stubbornly, I held back the trembling, and counted silently in my heart, until the red color of the iron tool faded, I let go of the iron tool.

A scorched black word "slave" appeared on Lin Chongtan's chest.

I took a step back, and the iron tool in my hand fell to the ground.Lin Chongtan parted his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but the next moment, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

No, not a mouthful of blood, he vomited a lot of blood.

There seemed to be other prisoners being tortured in the distance, and the wails of the sky prison constituted a purgatory on earth.

There is no more Lin Chongtan of Zhilan Yushu in the world.

Lin Chongtan knew a thousand characters at the age of three, could compose poems at the age of five, and was known as a scholar when he was less than 13 years old.He studied under Daoqing, a great contemporary Confucian, and entered Taixue with the pride of Gusu. The sound of the piano song "Ode to King Wen" moved the world, and three arrows with feathers and arrows defeated the envoys of the Northern Kingdom.Master Ku Su, who taught the three emperors of one dynasty, presided over and crowned him the crown ceremony. He won three awards in a row at the age of [-], won the first prize, and paraded the streets with a white horse.

After careful calculation, he is only 19 years old this year.
