Shen Langgui

Different from the Shen Mansion in Gusu in the past, the Shen Mansion in the northern capital chose a busy city, and it took only half a quarter of an hour to arrive from the Yonghe Gate.The rumbling chariot, the whistling horse, all stopped with the coachman's long cry.

"My lord, I'm back in the mansion."

Shen Chao saw that his elder brother had returned to his usual gloomy face since he left Jinxiang Pavilion, and wanted to chatter a few words out of good intentions, but unexpectedly his elder brother immediately frowned as soon as he picked up the curtain of the car.Shen Chao then looked out, and saw some people gathered in front of the stone seat Pixiu at the mansion gate, in the middle of the crowd, a man and a woman seemed to have an argument, arguing fiercely.

Shen Yue jumped out of the car first and squeezed into the crowd. Shen Sheng asked the entangled servant: "Da Shun, what's going on?"

The boy turned his head, his face was puffed up, with red marks on it, he looked like a cat in a mess, Shen Chao wanted to laugh out of season.

"Master Shen, this girl was clamoring to see you, but I said you weren't here, and this girl insisted that I lie to her, so... she just threw a tantrum..." The boy covered his face in aggrieved manner.

Just now, the girl who was still holding on to the skirt of Dashun's clothes, turned around when she heard the sound, and when she saw the person coming, she immediately loosened the tight skirt of the servant girl, and when she made a sound, she wailed: "Master Shen, I just want to ask you something, you You really didn't bring the young master back from the sea?" When he said that, a few tears fell down.

But Shen Yue remained unmoved, pulled out the hem of the clothes from Miss Cong, and strode towards Shen's residence without changing his face.

Not expecting to be treated coldly like this, the girl was stunned for a moment, and when she had a reaction, she immediately chased after her and held her again, crying with hope in her voice: "Master Shen! Are you guilty if you don't answer? The young master was not thrown into the sea by you!" ..."

"What you heard was his whereabouts. As for whether he is dead or not, you will only find out if you fish it in the sea. It is useless to ask me." Shen Yue cast a contemptuous look at the girl's hand gripping the hem of his clothes, and said coldly, "All these years, Is your master teaching you to be so rude?"

Hearing this, the girl was stunned and suddenly became powerless, the hem of the clothes she was holding onto slipped from her palm.

Shen Yue turned around and strode into the Shen residence.

After walking a few steps, there was a 'woo-wah' sound behind her: the woman was crying loudly regardless of being in a busy city.

The voices of people gradually became louder, and there seemed to be more people onlookers just now.

Shen Yue took two steps, suddenly expected something, turned around, and shouted to Shen Chao who was about to step forward to help him: "A Chao!"

Shen Chao took a look at his brother's dark complexion, and could only withdraw his hand resentfully, and walked into the gate of the house.

Dashun followed behind.

Walking through the corridors and alleys, the sun in early spring is warm and gentle, the clusters of green branches are flourishing, and the birds are singing lively.

The three walking were silent all the way.

Shen Chao squinted at his elder brother who was walking in a muffled voice, and said: "Brother, now that the debts are settled, the introduction of Zhang Zhang had no choice but to leave Shen's residence, so you..."

"Why forced! She was helping that white-eyed wolf everywhere at that time, and she only wished she could leave soon!"

"..." Shen Chao looked at his elder brother in a panic, how could he still have the air of a general.

This is my elder brother's stalemate in the past few years, whenever it is mentioned, he will be furious and scolding endlessly.

"I just hope that big brother can come out as soon as possible. If people are unhappy, what's the point of life."

In front of his eyes was full of spring scenery, but Shen Chao suddenly missed the cold February snow in Suzhou.

After walking for a while, Shen Yue suddenly said: "I think of something to deal with, you go back first."

... "Brother!" Shen Chao stopped loudly.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yue's body was shaken by this call, Shen Chao intuitively felt that his brother was... guilty?

Shen Chao just wanted to ask: "Are you coming back for dinner tonight?"

"Back." Shen Yue tilted his head and confessed, "Da Shun, you don't have to follow."

Shen Chao was as gentle as before, and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

The two brothers turned around at this point, but Shen Chao slowed down his pace more and more. When he was sure that his brother was far away, he stopped decisively and turned around.

Dashun wondered, "Second Lord, is this?"

It was rare for Shen Chao to be serious, so he immediately gestured for silence, and ordered: "You go back first."

Da Shun nodded obediently, and Shen Chao then followed in the direction his brother left.

However, Shen Yue didn't step out of the mansion gate, he went around the courtyard and walked into a remote courtyard.The house in the courtyard is locked.Shen Yue went in, walked straight into the study room, there were scattered books on the shelves, Shen Yue picked up a few books in the lower right corner, there were traces of wood inlays on the partition, he pressed down, and the gear creaked twice With the sound of clenching, the bookshelf moved sideways spontaneously.

A dark staircase leading directly to the ground was revealed.

Shen Yue turned his head to confirm that there was nothing unusual behind him, and then hurried downstairs.

After walking about half of the stairs, there was a faint light on the ground.

Going down to the flat ground, the road was long and long, and while walking, a man in black stood out from the dark side of himself.

"master!"

Shen Yue seemed to be used to it, he just let out an 'hmm' and continued to walk forward.

**At the end, a row of torture racks was set up.On the wall at the end, the light is flickering, and the word "big" written on it can be vaguely seen.

Shen Yue slowed down and asked, "How is the person?"

"As usual, don't say anything." This man's voice is unique, hoarse like a crow's cry, and just making a sound makes people feel uncomfortable.

"Heh." At the end, Shen Yue stared at the wall for a long time,

Suddenly there was a gust of wind, and the candlelight was suddenly brightened by the wind, clearly reflecting the wall at the end.

The fire was only for a moment, but it made people see clearly that there was no word "big" on the wall, it was clearly a person whose limbs were bound by iron chains.

The cold wind brought bright candlelight, but also brought a pungent stench.There is the suffocating sweat of not bathing for a long time, the stale smell of feces, and the most intense... blood - almost suffocating, emanating from the person on the wall.

"Master, do you want to wake him up?"

"Ah."

wow.

A bucket of water was splashed out neatly, and the few drops of water splashed onto his knuckles, making Shen Yue feel icy cold.

However, this man seemed to be numb to the torture of his body and didn't respond much. He only moved his eyelids slightly to let others know that his life was still alive.Clothes that have long lost their color, were shattered and draped around the body, now soaked in water, dripping wet and clinging to the skin.

"Playing dead again." The man in black sneered, pulled out the iron and put it on the charcoal brazier sideways, and there was a "Zla" sound for a while, "I'm not afraid of the cold, so try the hot one." The iron is red hot, and the rising heat Accompanied by a 'hiss' sound.

The scorching heat just approached the drooping hair of the bound person, and the hair was instantly scorched and curled.Just when the soldering iron was about to touch his cheek, Shen Yue said in a deep voice, "Slow down."

The man in black glanced at his master beside him, and immediately backed away respectfully.

Shen Yue's voice was very light, and he spoke in a familiar way: "The day before yesterday, I met Wu Jing..."

The word 'Wu Jing' is like a panacea, the person who was still lifeless just now raised his head in an instant, accompanied by '哐啷哉啷', but saw that he was very difficult to lift.

It turned out that there was also a shackle around the man's neck.

The cold sharpness of the metal was reflected in Shen Yue's eyes, making Shen Yue who was speaking playfully at this time even more gloomy: "Hehe, sure enough, as soon as the old club is mentioned, there will be a reaction." Shen Yue didn't realize that between his words, One word is more hate than one word, when the last word was uttered, Shen Yue suddenly grabbed the man's throat, gritted his teeth and said: "It's a pity, the old club you protected to the death, but confessed everything for you He planned painstakingly to escape across the sea... By the way, what Wu Er said was true at sea that day?" Shen Yue ignored this man's filthy smell, and approached him and asked, "You once advised Wu Er to deal with the Shen family. Cut the weeds and root them out?"

The man didn't answer, just closed his eyelids.

But in Shen Yue's eyes at the moment, this was an expression of extreme contempt.The hatred in Master Shen's heart was even worse, and he could not help but squeeze his jaw tightly, with such force that he pinched the man convulsively, trembling for a moment, seeing his lips squirming, Shen Yue let go of his hand for a while, and the bright red flowed out of his mouth. The grains are white and roll out with the current.Shen Yue fixed his eyes and found that it was actually a tooth.

Shen Yue watched this pure white being gradually covered by the dripping red, for some reason, his heart trembled, and strands of inexplicable discomfort rose from the crack.

Shen Yue once had this feeling, it's called—unbearable.

But how is it possible?To this person in front of me...

Thinking back to the endless pursuit caused by hiding this person these days, and the increasingly gloomy state since he was captured...

All kinds of things, Shen Yue suddenly affirmed that all the crux lies in this person, and only by killing him can he truly be freed.

The man in black looked at his words and saw the murderous intent in his master's eyes, so he took the initiative to invite Ying: "Master, he has tasted four of the ten tortures, and he has only one breath left. I will play the pipa for him later, and he will return to the west. "

Hearing this, Shen Yue took a step back, with a little hesitation in his eyes.But after a while, Shen Yue regained his determination, and ordered: "End of his dog's life, peel off the skin for me, make a human skin lantern, and I will bring it back to Suzhou, and hang it in front of Shen's mansion, so that he will live forever and serve as Shen's mansion." Watchdog!" After saying that, Shen Yue turned around and left resolutely.

"Yes, master."

Shen Yue returned to the ground, walked to the last level, and glanced back. There was no joy or anger on his face, but his actions seemed to be farewell.

When the bookshelves were closed, Shen Yue gathered his mind and stepped out of the room.Suddenly hearing the turbulent grass, Shen Yue became alert and shouted: "Who!"

Behind the only arbor in the courtyard, a person slowly stood out——

Shen Chao.

Having been brothers for decades, Shen Yue knew very well that Shen Chao's temperament was always docile. However, at this moment, his expression was dignified, with doubts in his eyes. After a long time, he opened his mouth:

"Brother, what's hidden below...is Ah Li?"

Shen Yue lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Shen Chao's eyes showed pain, and he walked towards his brother.When approaching, she staggered away from Shen Yue and walked straight to the barren building.

Shen Yue came to his senses, immediately stepped to catch up, and grabbed his younger brother: "What are you doing?"

Shen Chao didn't answer, he heaved his chest and shook his elbow, but he couldn't shake off his brother's grasped arm.

"You want to let him out?" Seeing his younger brother silently, Shen Yue took a step forward, stood in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Think clearly, after he goes out, let others know that I am holding the prisoner privately..." Shen Yue At a loss for words, for a moment, he said softly: "If you save him, you will kill me."

"Since you know the pros and cons, why did you arrest him and lock him up! Ah Li is at fault, and the court will judge him, so why are you so arrogant!"

Perhaps it was Shen Chao's rare argument that shocked Shen Yue, and for a while, Shen Yue bowed his head and remained silent.

After a while, Shen Chao said: "Forget it, just pretend that I didn't see anything today... let's go back to the house for dinner."

Shen Yue followed behind his younger brother with gratitude in his eyes, but in the end he didn't speak, and remained silent all the way.
