Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 134 The Land where Your Dead Souls Are Bound (Part [-])
The people were locked in an empty yard that was uninhabited.

The yard seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, and the yard was overgrown with weeds, which seemed a bit out of place with the whole house.

Ning Xiuyuan stepped into the threshold with his hands behind his back, followed the old house, and pushed open the cobweb-wrapped door. Among the falling dust, there was a damp and moldy smell coming from the pavement.

Ning Xiuyuan frowned, feeling that no matter whether it was Ji Wuyan or the ancient house, such a courtyard should not be left here.

Only, he didn't ask.

The room was dark, with desks, stools and other sundries piled up, as well as some new-looking wooden boards. The assassin was tied up and thrown in a corner. He was dressed in a black suit, had a Chinese character face, and a beard.

He looked inconspicuous in the crowd, with his head hanging down, and he looked a bit naive, and he didn't have the bloody aura that seemed to be absent from professional killers.

There was only a smear of blood at the corner of his eye.

That was Ji Wuyan's blood.

Not only the corners of the eyes, but also the front placket.It's just that the black cloth covered the color of the blood so that you couldn't see it, but when Ning Xiuyuan grabbed him, he caught it, it was wet, sticky, and even had warm blood.

He dragged the stool aside, shook his hands casually, and shook most of the dust on the stool. After thinking about whether he sat down or not, he only held his hands and asked, "Tell me, who sent you here."

"Nobody sent it." The other party poked his neck, ignored Ning Xiuyuan, and sneered coldly, "Who else needs to send it? The hat of the cult will be deducted as soon as it is said, and the crown prince's assassination case hastily concluded that we did it. The evidence What?! These years, I think religion has bullied men and women, or is it a disaster for neighbors? But, the heavenly master said, even if you are not benevolent, we must not be unrighteous. As a human being, we must not let our conscience down. And God is watching."

"Cheng, you are the imperial court and the royal family, so we retreat. If Yanjing City doesn't welcome us, we will leave Yanjing. Dongyao Kingdom doesn't welcome us. We will migrate to other countries at worst. The world is so big that there is always room for us." Department...but! You go so far as to impose so many lives on us, saying that our Taoist religion killed them! The crown prince was assassinated, and we avoided the edge, but we can't bear the lives of these innocent people!"

There is no need for cross-examination, but this man himself eloquently said emotionally, "Oh, Mr. Ning, I know that you have a noble status and cannot be moved, and we have no intention of becoming an enemy of the Ningguo government. There is a grievance, a debtor, the crime is Dali If the temple withholds it, I will only settle accounts with Princess Youjia!"

Very confident, even a little aggressive.

It's just that this set of rhetoric is too fluent, as if it has been rehearsed several times in advance and has been recited by heart.

"There is an injustice and a debtor..." He sneered, raised his hand suddenly, and slapped it on the old chair, which was not particularly strong. The chair fell apart, and the wood fell to the ground, smashing all over the place. dust.

And in the dust, Ning Xiuyuan's voice was as cold as ice, "What a wronged person and debtor! You don't even know what your creditor looks like, what kind of knife to kill anyone! Is that You Lingxi? Didn't you mention it before you raised the knife?" Will you keep your dog eyes wide open?! Is that You Lingxi?!"

Ning Xiuyuan, who was furious, looked like a beast that was completely enraged.

The other party was taken aback, as if he realized something belatedly, looked around, and asked, "Where is... here?"

"Where?" Gu Cuo stood aside with folded arms, listening to his "speech" with his head down all the time, only now he took a step forward and walked out of the dim light. The evening sun shone in from outside, forming a bright light and shadow.

He stood there in the light, half of his face was bathed in the light, and half of his face was hidden in the dark, which made him look a bit contradictory.

"Where?" He repeated, smiled lightly, and looked up, "Your, the place where the souls of the dead are bound."

The other party turned pale, "I, I just want to kill You Lingxi, I just want him to experience the pain of bereavement...I, I..."

He seemed to be in a daze, lowered his head and muttered, "Did I kill the wrong person?"

"You say that you are a remnant of Taoism and religion. I will believe it. But if you say that no one instructed... I don't believe a word." The stool was broken and there was no place to support his hands. He took a step forward with his hands behind his back, slightly He lowered his head and looked down, "You don't even know You Lingxi, so how do you know that You Lingxi will go up the mountain today?"

"Although this place is not the prison of Dali Temple, and there are no those horrible-looking instruments of torture, it is not difficult to shed a layer of skin from you. We can even try Ling Chi's method, and it will work...but After all, this officer has never done it himself, it doesn't matter how serious it is, and the effect is not that good..."

Gu Cuo chimed in, "It's okay, Mr. Chen is good at medicine, even if you hit harder, you can still be saved."

"So, you can give it a try." Ning Xiuyuan smiled brightly. In the gloomy light, his smile was icy cold, like a devil who harvests life at any time. The tip flipped, and the speed was extremely fast, dazzling.

The bearded man looked terrified, moved back quietly, and firmly denied, "I, I...what I said is true, no one ordered it, but I couldn't get angry, and I wanted to kill Princess You to vent my anger. As for admitting the wrong person, it's my first time killing someone, so I'm inevitably nervous..."

"Nervous..." Ning Xiuyuan bent down more and closer to the other person's face, grinning, "Yes, I was nervous when I killed someone for the first time. This is my first time to be lingering, and I was also nervous... Be nervous, your hands are still shaking, and the knife is not easy to use, then you will inevitably suffer more, then you will be more responsible... After all, I understand that you will misunderstand the wrong person when you are nervous, and you naturally need to understand that my hands will shake when I am nervous... Yes Bar?"

"No..." The beard kept moving, but there was a wall behind him, and he couldn't move anywhere. His back was pressed against the wall, and his neck was leaning back desperately, trying to increase the distance, " No no no... I don't know..."

Death is not scary.

The terrible thing is, watching myself die little by little, dying over and over again, whether I can live or die, I can't die... Thinking of this, my liver and gallbladder burst from fear for a moment, I closed my eyes and gritted my teeth and shouted, "I really don't want to die!" I don't know anything!"

"I just confessed that I killed the person myself, but now I changed my words and said I didn't know." The ancient house stood in the light and shadow, the sunset gradually faded, and in the warm orange light, it was like a gray mist. .He stood there, even his face was blurred, but his voice was still cold and clear, "Let's beat him up first, and be more honest."
