Chapter 48
"Dong-dong-dong-"
The loud bells rang, and the monks in the temple began another day of evening classes. After dinner, the people in the Ksitigarbha Pavilion gathered in the large courtyard to discuss the afternoon's events.
"Li Benru, don't you usually have a good relationship with Guard Lin? Have you heard anything about it?"
"Hey, didn't you see that Guard Lin was so busy that he couldn't see anyone? How could he have time to chat with me?"
"Forget it, tell me, has the little lunatic had some bad luck recently? The old wounds have not healed yet and new ones have been added. If Wang Fairy Quanxia knew about it, she would be extremely distressed."
"I can't even care about the living people, so why care about the dead? I heard that General Mu..."
Halfway through the words, the people next to him made a "hiss" sound and reminded everyone: "Guard Akano is here."
The discussion stopped abruptly.
Everyone quickly dispersed, chatting in small groups and pretending not to see Akano.
Akano walked through the crowd like a straight pine and cypress, without squinting his eyes, as if he didn't take these onlookers seriously.
But if you look carefully, he is actually observing everyone's reactions from the corner of his eye.
Perhaps, there are accomplices hiding among these people, and he must find them out to share the general's worries, out of his wild ambitions.
Until Akano disappeared at the end of the corridor, everyone gathered around again: "Hey, the direction Akano went to seems to be the place where prisoners are detained. Do you think that General Mu has found the real murderer by sending him here?"
"I guess..."
Akano left those rustling sounds behind and entered a side room in the corner.
"Red Guard."
When the two guards on guard saw Akano, they hurriedly dropped the chicken legs in their hands, hid their greasy hands behind their backs, and stood up.
Akano did not reprimand them, but ordered: "You go out to eat. Don't come in without my instructions."
"yes."
The two guards quickly wrapped up the food on the table and left quickly, not forgetting to close the door thoughtfully.
Li Bi'er, who was hanging by the rope, opened her eyes wide. When she saw clearly that it was Chiye, she couldn't help but sneer: "Are we going to start the interrogation again?"
Akano stood in front of Li Bier and without saying a word, he raised his hand and pulled off her veil.
Li Bi'er subconsciously turned away her face and raised her hand to block it, but found that her hand was hung by a rope and could not reach out. She suddenly felt embarrassed and glared at Akeno fiercely.
Looking at Li Bier's chin covered with scars, a trace of disgust flashed in Akano's eyes: "It turns out that her face has been disfigured. With such an ugly face, no wonder she refuses to take off her scarf even when eating."
Akano raised his hand and threw it away. The veil floated in the air for a while, and finally gently covered the bloody whip beside him.
"Such an ugly scar should be covered up, otherwise it will frighten everyone, and the kind-hearted Mrs. Li must not be able to sleep at night."
Kindness?
Is this a satire that Su Biwen sang along with her and deceived Yun Chen?
Facing Akeno's humiliation, Li Bi'er was furious in her heart, but her face was extremely calm: "The guards of the South Palace have followed General Mu for many years, and their hands are stained with the blood of countless people. How can they be afraid of this small burn?"
Ironically, they killed countless people?
This hateful woman stole the meat that the king of Chu gave to the generals, and she still dared to ridicule them?
Really tired of living.
Akano raised his hand and gave Li Bi'er a slap in the face: "We are killing enemies who have invaded the country's territory, but your parents are treason and collaborators in the imperial court. What they have on their hands are the belongings of thousands of people in the Northern Han Dynasty."
Blood.
"The King of Chu was kind enough to take you in, but you repaid kindness with hatred and acted recklessly in the South Palace.
"Tell me, were you the one who stabbed Cui Hengyue? Are there any accomplices of yours in the temple?"
Li Bi'er, who had always been calm, was finally irritated by Chi Ye. She "poofed" at Chi Ye and sprayed all the blood in her mouth onto Chi Ye's face.
"My parents did not commit treason and collaborate with the enemy, and I did not stab Cui Hengyue."
Blood slid down from his face, dripping on his robe and the ground. The smell of blood filled the airtight room, which was nauseating.
Akano raised his sleeves and wiped the blood from his face. Smelling the smell of blood, he took off his coat and threw it out.
Without saying anything, he slapped Li Bier again.
Then, he took out three silver needles and waved them back and forth in front of Li Bi'er: "I learned a trick from Zhen Jiu, but I have never tried it on a human being. It's up to you to try it today."
After saying that, he quickly took action and inserted three silver needles into Li Bier's heart.
"ah--"
When the last silver needle entered her body, Li Bier couldn't help but cry out, it hurt, it hurt too much.
Just like thousands of ants gnawing at the heart, her heart was being eaten away bit by bit. Needless to say, if this situation continued for another quarter of an hour, she would definitely not be able to hold on.
The most important thing is that Zhen Jiu's medical skills are not very good. He has cured people to death, so what good method he teaches is naturally a method of killing people.
No, she can't die, at least not now.
"Ah...I told you, Cui Hengyue's injuries have nothing to do with me...I did not harm her...nor did I want to kill her..."
In just a few words, Li Bier exhausted all her strength. Sweat poured down her face and her clothes were as wet as if they had just been fished out of the water.
it hurts!
Li Bi'er used her last thoughts to support herself and stretched her hand toward her heart, trying to pull out the silver needle on her body, but she was restrained by the rope and could not move forward.
The silver needle was close at hand, but could never be reached, and Li Bier felt deep despair in her heart.
Akano stood in front of her, quietly watching her struggle in pain, until her eyes turned white and seemed about to faint, then he spoke:
"Did you inflict Cui Hengyue's injuries? Who is your accomplice?"
At this time, Li Bi'er was like a doll being restrained by a rope, her head hanging limply, the black hair on her forehead was messy and wet and clinging to her face, and the scar on her chin was faintly visible among the black hair.
Such a sad and pitiful look did not arouse Akano's pity. Seeing that she remained silent, Akano stretched out his hand, pinched her chin hard, and forced her to raise her head.
"answer me!"
Li Bier's expression was painful, and she tried her best to open her mouth: "It's not what I... did... I don't admit it... I want to kill... I want to cut into pieces...
..as you like......"
"Okay, you don't admit it, right?" Akano looked sarcastic, walked to the side and brought a candle.
He slowly approached Li Bi'er's face while holding a candle lamp. His sinister eyes were even more terrifying under the light. His voice seemed to be coming from hell: "Anyway, your face is already ruined, so let's ruin it completely."
Hearing these words and feeling the heat of the fire, Li Bier showed a look of fear. She tried her best to lean back and stay away from the fire, just like before.
"no, do not want......"
Seeing this, Chi Ye was overjoyed and took the opportunity to interrogate: "Tell me, was it you who stabbed Cui Hengyue? Who are his accomplices?"
"I... said... I said... was..."
Li Bier's voice became smaller and smaller, and Akeno couldn't help but lean forward, bend down, and put his ear close to Li Bier's mouth.
However, when Akano was only three inches away from Li Bi'er, Li Bi'er suddenly opened her mouth wide and rushed forward.
Akano was caught off guard and his ear was bitten by Li Bier. He immediately raised his hand and waved away Li Bier.
"court death!"
