Chapter 478: No tears without entering the coffin
Late at night, it was windy and it was very cold. Every household in the county closed the door early and went to bed and lay down.
But there is a yard in the west city that is on fire.
This yard used to be very inconspicuous, but now it is very famous.
Because, a widow in this yard was hung during the day.
Now, the widow's body is still in the house.
The coroner had tested the corpse and must have committed suicide.
According to the rules, the dead bodies are either restrained by the family or hired by the county to send them to the charity village for resettlement.
After seeing the injured elder brother, Liangchen came to the yard and asked the county not to move the widow Xu's body for the time being.
After he spoke, the county dared not refuse to obey.
So Widow Xu's body was always placed on the ground.
Liangchen specially hired two brave women to wipe the filth on Widow Xu's body, put on new clothes, and looked as neat as before.
However, there is no temperature on the body, and it is so stiff from the face to the joints.
When he was alone in Widow Xu's body, Liangchen thought a lot, and he could understand his elder brother's love for Widow Xu.
In this world, not all love is so wonderful, so white, so innocent, and blessed by everyone.
Many of the loves of small people are full of helplessness and sorrow.
Their love is looked at by the worldly eyes, disdain, despise, and even disliked.
However, their love is the purest and purest love, which is more innocent than the love of a prince and a princess.
It’s a pity that the world cannot tolerate them.
Good ministers have never looked at people from a worldly perspective, so he understands this love.
Widow Xu is very pitiful. In fact, she is just a prostitute. But her eldest brother Liangqing fell in love with her and was willing to marry her. I have to say that Liangqing is really a real person.
Before his second uncle became famous in history, Liangqing was an ordinary farmer who was digging food all day long. At that time, he had no money to marry a wife. However, after becoming a Duke, he still did not marry. From this point of view, either the eldest brother was incompetent or he had suffered love.
Obviously, the reason may be the latter.
Perhaps, my brother who should have died had run into this sad thing about his elder brother.
Liangchen felt a little regretful. He came one step late and knew it too late. Even if he knew it half a day earlier, Widow Xu would not die. The eldest brother would not have a lifetime of pain in his heart.
Now, his younger brother is going to do something for his elder brother.
After clapping his hands, a thin man was taken into the room.
Liangchen glanced at the thin man, but said nothing, and asked Xiaotian to throw him in front of him, next to Widow Xu's body.
The thin man was a little scared. What was afraid of was not the people who caught him, nor the eunuch in front of him who was younger than him, but Widow Xu lying on the wooden board on the ground.
He clearly remembered that he had held this woman three days ago and gave it to the other party seven eldest sons afterwards.
And now, this poor woman no longer breathed and was lying coldly beside her.
He shivered.
Liangchen just looked at the thin man and looked at him with a calm look.
The thin man's scalp was numb when he was seen by Liangchen. He subconsciously lowered his head down, but he saw a pile of torture instruments placed in the corner of the wall from the corner of his eyes.
Pinch sticks, nail fingers, whip...
All kinds of shocking torture instruments were placed all over the ground. Whether it was the reflection of the fire or the original color, these torture instruments seemed to be red.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the candles in the house were blown by the wind.
The thin man was in a torment, but he didn't dare to move, let alone speak.
Finally, he felt the man in front of him move.
Liangchen stood up, walked straight to Zhao Ming, who was tied up, and said in a harmonious voice: "Can you tell us the whereabouts of your friend?"
Zhao Ming is Tan Qianniu's best friend. He has been playing together since he was a child. After growing up, he was in Xicheng. After visiting the torture room, he learned that Tan Qianniu left the city with Zhao Ming. Later, Zhao Ming returned to his residence, but Tan Qianniu did not know whereabouts. After the good minister learned about this, he directly sent someone to arrest Zhao Ming, and he wanted to know Tan Qianniu's whereabouts from the other party.
Judging from the appearance, Zhao Ming is a rogue in the market. This kind of person bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong, and is the type that can be called upon when he fights. But what surprised Liangchen was that Zhao Ming refused to say that he was a loyal rogue.
"Dadfather-in-law, I have never been able to do anything to betray my friends." Zhao Ming was afraid, but he did not betray his friends because he was afraid, because that would make him feel that he was not worthy of being a human being.
"Yes, it's really shameful to betray a friend, but do you think Tan Qianniu is worthy of being your friend?" Liangchen smiled and shook his head, "If Tan Qianniu really thought you were a friend, he wouldn't let you go out of the city with him."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ming didn't say anything, but just twitched his cheeks.
"You'd better say that there's no need to lose his life for Tan Qianniu." After that, Liangchen took out his sleeve and wiped his nose. Because he rushed back to the county town, he was depressed again.
After hearing this, Zhao Ming was shocked and said in a lost voice: "I didn't beat me to death. At worst, the government can sue me if I don't report it. If I stay in prison for a few years, how can I kill myself?"
"Well, the government will not take your life, but our family will take your life." Liangchen sniffed, slowly folded the veil on it, then looked at Zhao Ming, with a strange smile on his face.
Zhao Ming was shocked by the other party's smile, but after a moment he made up his mind and gritted his teeth and said, "I won't say it even if my father-in-law killed me." He didn't believe that this eunuch dared to kill him. The county yard knew that he was brought here. This eunuch really dared to kill people randomly, but he couldn't pass the yamen's jail.
"Is that right? If you don't say it, our family will always have a way to let you say it."
Liangchen didn't like others to question him because he had never spoken empty words. After saying that, he patted his palms lightly, and Oda and Sanada immediately took a stick and punished Zhao Ming.
Because of the pain, Zhao Ming bit his lips tightly, his forehead was wrinkled tightly, and beads of sweat as big as rice grains dripped from his forehead.
"Ten fingers connect to the heart, I guess you are in great pain now, right? If you can't bear the pain, you can scream it out, and our family won't laugh at you. But why are you suffering? You have to know that no matter how much you suffer, your good friend will not know."
The moment Liangchen spoke, Zhao Ming's second nail on his left hand was peeled off again by a bamboo stick. Like his thumb, blood suddenly surged out, red.
"What else can you do besides torture me?"
Zhao Ming tried his best to not scream. Although he could clearly feel the tendons and veins in his left hand were beating hard due to the huge pain, he still gritted his teeth and held on. Yes, he was a scoundrel, but scoundrel also talked about morality and brotherhood.
No matter what Tan Qianniu did, as long as the other party thinks he is a friend for a day, he, Zhao Ming, will never do anything to betray his friend. So, don’t say that the other party tortures himself, even if he beats him to death, he will never betray his friend.
"We don't know, so take it slowly."
After pinching Zhao Ming's two newly peeled nails in his hand and taking a closer look, he found that the boy was still tough. Liangchen shook his head and shook his lightly. Suddenly, two blood-stained nails fell to the ground.
"I won't say even if you beat me to death." Zhao Ming gritted his teeth and said.
Liangchen sighed and tempted, "Tell me, our family will give you five hundred taels. You can take this money, whether you stay in Suning or go to the capital city, you will never worry about anything in your life."
After hearing Liangchen's words, Zhao Ming laughed: "Do you think I would betray my friends for money? You are wrong. Although I, Zhao Ming, have not done many good things in my life, at least, I have never done anything to betray my friends."
The laughter suddenly stopped and he turned his mind: "You should kill me, because it is impossible for me to betray my brother!"
"A person cannot be resurrected if he dies."
Liangchen admired Zhao Minglai a little. He didn't expect that this guy was so tough, but this was not what he wanted.
"If you want to kill, you will kill, it will be useless to say more."
After saying these eight words, Zhao Ming's mouth no longer opened and his eyes closed. He looked like he wanted to die and his determination to be determined, which made Xiaotian and the others admire him a little.
"Do you know, my brother knew that Widow Xu committed suicide and wanted to die with her. Our family persuaded him and told him that Widow Xu would not be alone on the road to Huangquan, and there would always be someone to accompany her. At that time, to be honest, our family just wanted Tan Qianniu to accompany his sister-in-law on the road. Now it seems that you are not bad." Liang Chen Youyou said, Zhao Ming's toughness angered him and said coldly: "Bring the things in."
The door was opened with a bang, and Zhao Ming was stunned. A coffin was carried in by several big men.
With a "bang", the coffin fell heavily. Just by weight, it was obviously a top-notch coffin, worth a lot of money.
Liangchen ignored Zhao Ming, who was surprised, looked around the coffin, nodded with satisfaction, and ordered Widow Xu's body to be carried into the coffin.
After Widow Xu was put into the coffin, he said to Widow Xu who was extremely calm: "My elder brother asked me to bury you with great strength. This coffin is the best coffin in the city. In addition, I asked this person to bury you with me, and I hope you don't dislike me."
"What are you going to do?"
In horror, Zhao Ming was lifted up and threw it into the coffin. The lid of the coffin was pressed up, and it suddenly became pitch black and could not see anything. Only the dull sound of hammers and nails came from his ears.
After the twelve nails were hammered in, Liangchen looked at the coffin motionlessly, and he was very patient.
There was no movement in the coffin for a long time.
"He's a man."
Liangchen thought that things in the world were really strange. A scoundrel like Zhao Ming could take death as if he was ready to die, but he wanted to show his courage to do something that could not be rich, so why should he have to be idle and become a gangster?
Maybe, this is the difference between people.
Sometimes, not being afraid of death is not a prerequisite for doing big things.
What a pity.
Liangchen felt a little regretful that he could not pry open the rogue's mouth. If he wanted to find Tan Qianniu, he would probably have to start from his family. At this time, a sound came from the coffin, which was a sound of slapping the lid of the coffin, vaguely accompanied by a shout of "I said".
Hmm...
