The general's wife is sick

Bai Yihuang was bound to the rack with his limbs stretched wide, and could only stand. For an ordinary person, standing is a kind of torture. The longer the time, the deeper the torture.

Bai Yiming can bear it, but Xiong Jinghai can bear it better than him. For two days, Xiong Jinghai didn't say a word to him. He came to the "interrogation room" every day and just took out a letter to read. From day to night, if I am in a good mood when I meet him, and I still watch it with the lights on at night.

At first, Bai Yiming felt that this person might also be a running dog of the imperial court. Although he had already been reduced to a prisoner, since the day he started, he never thought that he would be able to go out with all his tail.

Now that he was arrested, he had already seen it.

But after a long time, Xiong Jinghai's weird behavior made him very puzzled. He interrogated him openly, but he did not torture himself. He took out a letter from his arms and put it on the table from morning to night. What exactly was written in the letter?

He became curious.

Xiong Jinghai cleared his throat, folded the letter neatly, carefully put it into the envelope, put the envelope into his arms, and finally patted his chest to make sure it was put away, then got up and walked towards Bai Yihuang.

"Looking at your complexion, you don't look like someone who lived a rich life. Why do you still eat porridge and dried radishes like those ordinary people every day after you have received the disaster relief money from the court?"

Bai Yiming snorted coldly and ignored him.

"If you don't tell the truth, I'll ask my subordinates to bring all your brothers over here. One question per person, and after ten questions, you can only go underground to reunite with them!"

Xiong Jinghai's tone was calm, but Bai Yiming knew that this man was full of murderous aura, and he must be a battle-tested man. He was not joking with himself when he said this.

After a short pause, Bai Yiming said, "If I do this, wouldn't I be inferior to corrupt officials like those pigs and dogs in Yuzhou!"

"You rebelled!"

Xiong Jinghai's words were said in Bai Yihuang's heart, like a knife piercing straight in.

The tough man shouted instantly, "We can't survive if we don't rebel! These damned corrupt officials know that the harvest in the field is not good this year, and the snow is heavy in winter, and every village has houses that have been crushed by the snow. In this year's situation, they still want to increase taxes! From the two dans per mu of land stipulated by the court to four dans, these corrupt officials with black hearts and rotten intestines, have they thought about how our people live!!!”

Xiong Jinghai looked at him with scrutiny in his black eyes, "What did you do before?"

"Bricklayer, who builds houses for people."

"Have you read a book?"

"I don't know a single big character."

"You were the mastermind of this matter from the beginning to the end?"

"It's my mastermind. If you want to kill or cut you, you can do whatever you want. If I frown, I will write the Bai surname that my grandfather gave me!"

"you are lying!"

Xiong Jinghai stood in front of him and looked up at him, "You said you were the mastermind in this matter, so I ask you, how did you rob this batch of relief money?"

Bai Yihuang stared at him fiercely, "I can't go on anyway, so I'll just rebel! I still have a way to survive, but if I don't rebel, I will definitely die, starve to death or be hacked Pick one, I'd rather be beheaded."

"It's still a lie!" Xiong Jinghai sneered, with a stern look on his rough face.

Bai Yihuang's eyes flickered left and right, a little flustered.He was an honest man, and now it was not easy to carry on without telling the truth. He couldn't rest for a long time, which made him physically and mentally exhausted. At this time, Xiong Jinghai was convinced that he was lying, and he felt panicked.

"If what you said is true, then think about how you answered me when I asked you the question at the beginning!" Xiong Jinghai said, "You are not the mastermind, and you say you don't know a single word, but you can Post the daily disaster relief work, including the amount of wood used to build temporary shelters, the amount of money spent, the wages of the workers, the price of purchased food, the weight of the food, etc., these are not things that can be done by an ordinary person.”

"I don't know what you're talking about. What I'm saying is the truth. If you're a good general, kill me and let the others go." Bai Yiming roared so hard that veins appeared on his neck and forehead.

"I don't want to, so I will kill them one by one in front of you..."

"You dog officials, you will die!"

Xiong Jinghai picked out his ears, "Keep your voice down, it's midnight and everyone else is sleeping!"

"Bah! Dog officer! Even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go!"

"Why don't you let me go? Although I'm young, the souls who died under my sword can't be exhausted. If there is a ghost, I'm not here anymore. It's your turn to not let me go." ?”

This sentence choked Bai Yihuang in place. Being a ghost was his last ruthless words. These words were ineffective to Xiong Jinghai. , All the swear words that I heard, all the swear words were poured out.

Xiong Jinghai frowned, and his rough eyebrows twitched into a bulge, "Okay, okay, just keep this innocuous thing for yourself, I'll just tell you once, if you confess the mastermind, I'll bail you out Half your life was rich and prosperous, the imperial court will no longer pursue your crimes, and let you hide your name in the countryside as a wealthy squire."

"Bah! Kill or cut whatever you want! I am the mastermind! Even if you bring the old emperor in front of me, I will still say the same thing!" Bai Yiming knew that he might not be able to escape, and his face was ashen and terrifying.

"Very good, come here, send him on the road now!"

Xiong Jinghai took two steps back, and Xie Kun appeared at the door with a long knife and came towards Bai Yihuang menacingly. Brother, let me go first!"

The sharp blade pierced the air. Bai Yiming closed his eyes tightly, but he only felt his hand loosen. He opened his eyes suddenly, and Xie Kun cut off the binding rope of his other hand with another knife.

Xiong Jinghai beckoned, "Let Chen Guan take him down to wash, and then bring him into the house after washing."

As he walked, he took out Ji Liu's letter from his chest and held it in his palm again.

Bai Yiming was dumbfounded, "You...you won't kill me?"

Xie Kun cut off all the ropes, and put the knife on his shoulder, "Our boss told you to take a bath, so hurry up, although you rebelled, but what you did is admirable to men, don't kill me!" You, go! But let me tell you, don’t think about running away, your gang of brothers are still in the hands of our boss, if you run away, you will see their heads hanging on the tower of Yuzhou City the next day! "

Bai Yiming saw the sky outside the prison again. Even though the wind and snow had not stopped, he still felt that the cold air outside made him so excited that he wanted to cry.

Now all this is as unreal as a dream.

After taking a shower and changing out of his dirty and smelly clothes, his wrists and ankles were all wounded with wound medicine, Bai Yiming dressed neatly and stood in front of Xiong Jinghai again.

He is still reading the letter.

Xie Kun reminded him, "Boss, someone is here."

Bai Yiming glanced at him nervously, "What do you mean? If you want me to betray my brother, it's better to kill me!"

"I won't kill you, but if I want to kill you, I will only kill your brothers."

Xiong Jinghai showed his ruffian side to the fullest, and Xie Kun was even more righteous when he heard this.

"You!" Bai Yiming didn't expect that the great general of the imperial court would be so shameless, and seriously threaten him with his gang of brothers!

"So, now you can only be obedient. If you don't obey me, I will kill one every day for fun!"

"If I name the mastermind, can you let the others go?"

As soon as Bai Yiming said this, even Xie Kun knew what he was planning, "You really underestimated our boss, you just confess one, and then we let the others go, you commit suicide again, you are my boss Is it stupid?"

Being choked again, Bai Yiming felt that he had some indigestion after eating so much food in prison these days.

"Be honest and obedient, our boss won't kill you, so don't change your mind!" Xie Kun relieved him.

"Among you, there is Mr. Shushu, the only scholar in ten miles and eight villages. He passed the examination and never took the scientific examination again. He just returned to Yuzhou and vowed to make there no more white people in the village."

Every time Xiong Jinghai uttered a word, Bai Yiming's face turned paler, not caring about his strangeness, Xiong Jinghai continued.

"You rebelled precisely because of this person, and all the documents posted afterwards are also his masterpieces. Is this general wrong?"

With a plop, Bai Yiming knelt down on the spot.

He knocked his head heavily on the ground, repeatedly, "I beg the general to spare his life, I beg the general to spare his life, I am willing to work like an ox for the general, and I just beg you to spare his life."

"Who is he to you, worthy of your sacrifice for him?"

Xie Kun stopped Bai Yiming's movements, "Stop, our boss doesn't like being kowtowed."

"Me, I just admire him for what he is, we have nothing to do with each other."

"It doesn't matter that you can do this for him, boss, they have a better relationship than us!"

Xie Kun was full of envy. He and Xiong Jinghai and Ma Menxi also had a fatal friendship, but if this happened, he didn't know how he would react, so now he is very envious of the relationship between the two .

And now Xie Kun finally knew what Chen Guan was doing for not acting with them this time.

This kind of detailed information can be grasped clearly, Chen Guan is really capable.

Xiong Jinghai gave him a fair look, "Then kill him first, to incite people's hearts. If it wasn't for him, you wouldn't rebel. If you kill him, you will be free."

"I beg you, General, please, Dai Mengyun is a good person, and Yuzhou has always been a hard worker. After all, he is willing to return to his hometown to teach. The whole village is grateful to him." While speaking, Bai Yihuang wanted to kneel again, and explained Kun has a sharp eye and quickly grabs him ahead of time.

"Boss, it looks like the mastermind is Dai Mengyun!"

Bai Yiming glared, "You bombed me! I will fight you!"

Before he finished speaking, Xie Kun exerted force on his hand, and Bai Yiming was pressed firmly to the ground, unable to move.

"Don't be unhappy, you just have more strength, and you are far behind us who grew up in the military camp!" Xie Kun added a little more strength to his hands as he spoke.

His arm was in pain from being twisted, Bai Yiming remained silent, staring fixedly at Xiong Jinghai with blood in his eyes.

"Lock him up alone, and we'll meet that Dai Mengyun." Before leaving, Xiong Jinghai said, "I won't kill him, not only will I not kill him, but I can assure you that none of your brothers will be fine. , the premise is that you have to be honest."

Xie Kun let go of his hand, pushed Bai Yiming forward, and then walked to the door and closed it quickly, "I'm sorry brother, you can use this room, but our boss keeps his word, you just stay at ease. Think about your Help brother, I kindly remind you, don't step out of the room!"
