Chapter 110 Certificate of Surrender
Crack! Crack!
Rhythmic footsteps sounded in the quiet dungeon at night.
Under the dim light, Chu Tang and Xu Wei walked one after another on the dungeon passage, casting long shadows.
Chu Tang led the way, while Xu Wei followed behind with his hands behind his back.
Although Chu Tang had many things to ask in his heart, Xu Wei had already explained before entering the dungeon that without the permission of Xu Datou, he could not take the initiative to speak or make his own decisions. He could only watch quietly. Listening quietly, so he could only hold it in all the way.
The passage was not long, and we soon arrived at the place where Shi Zilin and several people were detained.
When passing by the cell of the female enshrined Li Yuxiang, Xu Wei deliberately stopped and took a few more glances.
He would never forget the humiliation of this woman's one move that severely injured him.
Although Li Yuxiang had huddled in the corner of the cell, she had lost her martial arts skills, but her consciousness was still sharp. She noticed someone was watching her, so she couldn't help but lift her head from her arms. When she saw it was Chu Tang and Xu Wei, she was confused, but He didn't say anything, just looked at Xu Wei quietly.
Chu Tang in front also stopped and looked back at Xu Wei, thinking that he was going to ridicule the female worshipper or something.
Xu Wei's next behavior surprised him - after his eyes shifted away from the female worshipper, Xu Captou just chuckled without saying a word, and instead urged Chu Tang to move forward.
Chu Tang, who had doubts in his heart, had no choice but to move forward. After not taking two steps, Shi Zilin, who spotted them next to him, suddenly jumped up, came to the cell fence, stared at Chu Tang, and shouted: "The one with the surname Chu, What do you want to do when you capture us?"
Chu Tang shrugged and turned to look at Xu Wei, waiting for the other party's instructions.
He, Chu Tang, has always kept his word and kept his mouth shut. This time, Xu Wei followed suit!
Xu Wei was very satisfied with Chu Tang's attitude. After nodding slightly, he turned to Shi Zilin and whispered softly: "Don't worry, you will have a good show later, just wait." After that, he signaled Chu Tang not to linger.
The two walked more than ten steps and finally came to the door of Shizi Shenglao.
At this time, Shi Zisheng was lying flat on the wooden board that could only accommodate one person. He was in a daze, and he didn't know whether he was talking or murmuring, and he did not notice the arrival of the two people.
Xu Wei asked Chu Tang to step aside, took off the key from his waist, and opened the cell door himself.
Bang!
The noise from the cell hole woke the people inside.
Shi Zisheng sat up in shock and saw that it was Chu Tang. He was about to curse, but when he saw the open cell door, he did not dare to make a mistake. He swallowed everything he was about to say, and his whole face turned red.
Xu Wei spoke first: "Shi Zisheng, right? I remember that Shi Zhifeng was injured by you, so I think you know Xu. Come out and let's talk?"
"Ah?" Shi Zisheng was frightened.
Xu Wei smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm not asking you to come out and drink guillotine! Let's talk about your father's affairs."
"My dad?" Shi Zisheng became excited, "What did you do to my dad?"
Xu Wei hooked his hand, motioning for the other party to come out, and then slowly walked forward to the interrogation room.
Chu Tang was stunned and couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Xu Datou sold in his gourd.
However, he did not walk away. Instead, he took a few steps back and guarded Shi Zisheng as he walked out.
Shi Zisheng finally walked out of the cell door out of curiosity. He first looked at Xu Wei in front of him, then looked back at Chu Tang. With his squinting eyes, he saw a cell more than two feet away. There was a person standing at the metal fence there. Looking forward to it.
It was his cousin Shi Zilin whom he had not seen for many days!
When Chu Tang saw Shi Zisheng opening his mouth to say something, he suddenly pushed him and said coldly: "Let's go!"
Shi Zisheng staggered forward, feeling extremely aggrieved and about to explode. When he saw Chu Tang's expressionless cold face, he immediately restrained his temper and walked forward honestly, catching up with Xu Wei's back.
Soon, the three of them came to an interrogation room.
Xu Wei and Ma Jindao sat on a bench. After calling Chu Tang to sit down, he waved to Shi Zilin to let him come closer.
Shi Zisheng was frightened and hesitated, especially when he saw the mind-numbing interrogation instruments in the room. He was even more worried, thinking that the two men were going to execute him.
"Chu, you know all my secrets, do you still need these things?" Shi Zisheng asked bravely.
Before Chu Tang could say anything, Xu Wei said first, "Master Shi, please don't worry. I'm not inviting you here to torture you. On the contrary, I'm here for a good thing."
"A good thing?" Shi Zisheng didn't believe it.
Chu Tang was also very confused and really didn't understand what Xu Wei was going to do.
I promised to teach him how to do things. Is it because he lowered his attitude and dealt with the children of the martial arts family?
Xu Wei saw Chu Tang's puzzled look and didn't explain. He just blinked, then took something out of his arms and threw it on the ground in front of Shi Zisheng.
Snap!
The sound of metal hitting the ground was very loud.
Shi Zisheng saw clearly, it was an unsheathed dagger!
"You know that my martial arts is banned now, and there is no threat even if I have a dagger, so why did you put this damn thing in front of me? It's over, it's over! You don't want me to commit suicide, right?" Shi Zisheng added several dramas in his heart.
Not to mention he was scared, even Chu Tang was shocked.
He became increasingly confused about Xu Wei's intentions.
Along the way, he had countless guesses, such as taking crazy revenge on the Shi family members and beating them half to death; or questioning them about their martial arts skills and tortured them until they were ready to die.
However, when handing the weapon to the opponent, which one is being played?
I have to say that Xu Wei took this course very lively and suspenseful!
"Gulu!"
Shi Zisheng swallowed hard and asked in a harsh voice: "Xu Captou, what are you going to do? A soldier is a murderous weapon! Don't dare to throw it around!"
"For you!" Xu Wei smiled.
Shi Zisheng said in a trembling voice: "What can you do for me?"
Xu Wei did not answer, but said to Chu Tang next to him: "Xiaotang, tell him the deal you negotiated with Shi Junfeng."
"Yes!" Chu Tang breathed a sigh of relief. He could finally speak and no longer had to be mute.
Immediately, without any pause, he told Shi Zisheng in detail that he met Shi Junfeng the night before and the two had a good discussion about a deal.
After hearing this, Shi Zisheng was furious and said: "Impossible! My father would never do such a thing of betraying the family! You bastard! You are trying to trick me! A man, if you want to kill, kill, and chop if you want, why bother playing this? What a deceptive childish trick!”
Xu Wei was not angry. After Shi Zisheng slowly calmed down, he took out a stack of paper from his sleeve and said: "This is the fragment of "Ice Soul Magic" copied by your father. His handwriting is familiar to you, right? Moreover, you have found this magical skill, and outsiders don’t know about it, so there is no way to fake it. You can take a look!"
After speaking, he placed the paper generously on the damp wooden table in front of him.
Shi Zisheng's heart trembled when he heard it, and without hesitation, he stepped forward to pick up the paper and read it quickly.
"This...this..." Shi Zisheng became more frightened and trembling all over.
It is indeed his father's handwriting!
The content is also the same as the magical skills he has seen before!
He felt his faith collapsed!
His father actually colluded with the imperial government to betray the current head of the family!
The younger brother sold out his biological brother. Is there anything more cruel than this?
"Dad!" Shi Zisheng couldn't help shouting in grief and anger.
Unfortunately, no one answered.
Xu Wei waited for him to vent for a while, then slowly said: "We don't want to pay attention to your Shi family's troubles. But from the perspective of the court, we don't mind seeing you killing each other. What's more, your family head is colluding with thieves , he has done a lot of things that are harmful to nature, and he deserves to be punished! I wonder if Mr. Shi now believes in our agreement with your father?"
Shi Zisheng turned pale and smiled miserably, saying: "If my...uncle really endangers the survival of the family, my father may indeed cut off his wrist and commit such a dangerous act."
Xu Wei clapped his hands and said, "Just believe it! Then we can continue trading."
"Trade?" Shi Zisheng was puzzled.
Xu Wei said: "What Xu wants Mr. Shi to do next is part of the deal between us and your father. Please do your best to complete it."
Shi Zisheng felt something in his heart and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Xu Wei first asked the other party to hand over the magical secret book, folded it properly and put it in his sleeve, then pointed to the dagger on the ground and said: "Now, Mr. Shi, hide the dagger. After we bring Shi Zilin, you can Kill him with this dagger."
"What?!" Shi Zisheng backed away continuously, his eyes widened, looking inexplicably frightened, "You want me to kill...Kill Zi Lin? You are crazy! I won't do it!"
Chu Tang was also frightened and almost jumped up.
He suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Wei, wanting an explanation.
Xu Wei slowly shook his head, signaling him to be calm.
Then, Xu Wei said to Shi Zisheng: "If Master Shi doesn't do it, that's okay. Let's go find Shi Zilin and tell him about your father's betrayal, and then give him the dagger as well." , asking him to kill you, and after giving us a certificate of surrender, we will let him go back to report to his father. Do you think he will choose to kill you?"
When Shi Zisheng heard this, he was dumbfounded. After a long while, he angrily cursed: "You devil! Madman! You must be crazy!"
Chu Tang also couldn't bear it. Just when he was about to speak, he saw Xu Wei smile at him and said: "Xiaotang, what I want to teach you today is to do things and be ruthless! At least, you can't risk your own destiny. Put it in someone else’s hands.”
"Huh?" Chu Tang didn't understand the meaning.
Xu Wei explained: "Shi Junfeng wants to borrow a knife to kill people. No problem. We will make him a knife and completely solve the Shi family's trouble in Shixian County. However, if he does not have the handle in our hands, he will bite back later and accuse us of colluding. Someone has plotted against his eldest brother, what should we do? We can’t argue! Xiaotang, don’t doubt that human nature really can’t stand the test!
"It would be fine if he just talks about catching thieves, but if he wants to completely control the Shi family, he will set us as a target, and in the name of avenging Mengjun martial arts, he will gather Mengjun martial arts people to embarrass us and ask the court to give them a Explain. Tell me, how will the court treat us? In order to quell the anger and disputes among the martial arts people in a county, will they choose to calm things down? How to calm things down? Of course they will push us out of the way to block the gun!"
Chu Tang was completely silent.
Will what Xu Wei said happen?
Maybe, maybe not...
"No! My father would never do this!" Shi Zisheng defended quickly.
Xu Wei said quietly: "He won't know it now. Who can say for sure when he becomes the head of the family? I can't pin my safety on vain promises. Only if you, Mr. Shi, kill Shi Zilin, will he You have scruples. Mr. Shi, you have only two choices now. One is to kill Shi Zilin, and the other is to wait for Shi Zilin to kill you. Do you choose to kill or to be killed?"
"I..." The muscles on Shi Zisheng's face were twisted, unable to make a choice.
Xu Wei sighed and said: "I heard that the current head of the Shi family has three young masters. As long as he is in charge of the family for a day, Mr. Shi, you will only be the son of the second master of the Shi family. No matter what, the power of the Shi family has nothing to do with you! Now, your father has made a choice. As for you, do you want to stay humble and be a small child, or do you want to fight hard and give it a try? "
Shi Zisheng's eyes flickered and his lips were bitten.
Seeing this, Xu Wei turned to Chu Tang and said: "Xiaotang, I know it is difficult for you to accept it for a while. However, you now have a great future and a bright future. I will not allow others to have the opportunity to destroy your future. Since there is a way to kill you, If there is a potential threat, then you must act decisively! This is also the last lesson I will teach you! Now, you go and bring Shi Zilin and the female priest here."
While talking, Xu Wei looked at Chu Tang with extremely firm eyes and gave orders in a tone that left no room for doubt.
What else could Chu Tang say? He sighed and stood up slowly.
Just glancing at Shi Zisheng, who looked strange, Chu Tang walked back and forth step by step, his steps firm, his eyes even more resolute!
He's just not cruel enough, not soft-hearted.
As Xu Wei said, once you have decided to do something, then do it absolutely!
Besides, the Bai Dao martial arts family sounds nice, but in fact it is not about using force to suppress others!
None of them are good!
After capturing these people, the chivalry points rewarded on the panel will follow. Chu Tang knows that these people have life lawsuits on their hands and are not worthy of sympathy.
Soon, Chu Tang escorted Shi Zilin and Li Yuxiang, whose martial arts were banned.
In the interrogation room, Xu Wei remained seated, while Shi Zisheng stood aside.
The dagger on the ground disappeared.
Li Gongfeng looked resigned and remained silent.
Shi Zilin resisted with his hands and feet and glared at Chu Tang. When he saw Shi Zisheng standing aside, he couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Sheng, why are you here? What did they do to you?"
Shi Zisheng's eyes flashed and he was speechless.
Li Gongfeng caught a glimpse of the smile at the corner of Xu Wei's mouth, and couldn't help but felt something bad in his heart.
Chu Tang did not restrict Shi Zilin's movements. Seeing Shi Zisheng's face turning blue and white, the latter couldn't help but ran to him worriedly, grabbed his shoulders and asked: "Brother Sheng, why are you...ah!"
Suddenly, Shi Zilin screamed in pain and staggered back, while his hands tightly covered his chest and abdomen.
Turbulent blood spurted out from his hands.
He stared at Shi Zisheng with his eyes full of disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Sheng, why..."
The veins on Shi Zisheng's forehead bulged, a look of madness flashed in his eyes, and in his hand, he held a dagger more than a foot long.
The dagger was unsheathed, stained with blood, and glowed horribly in the dim light.
Obviously, he made a decision and stabbed Shi Zilin with a dagger!
Chu Tang and Xu Wei looked at each other. There was no joy in their eyes, but a sense of sadness.
Sure enough, human nature really cannot stand the test!
Everything was as expected by Xu Wei, and Chu Tang found that the dagger was missing when he came in, and vaguely guessed the result.
The dagger was very long, and once it went in, it hit his internal organs. Within a few breaths, Shi Zilin was extremely weak due to excessive blood loss.
If he still had the skill, he could still regulate his breathing or use acupuncture to stop bleeding, but now he has no skill at all and is no different from an ordinary person. Just one knife is enough to kill him.
In the room, even the well-informed Li Yuxiang was dumbfounded, her head went blank, and she felt dizzy.
It was just a meeting between brothers in a cell. How could it reach the point of fratricide?
Also, since they brought her here, are they going to kill her too?
"Why, why?" Shi Zilin became weaker and weaker, and his eyes gradually turned black, but he was unwilling to give in and stared at Shi Zisheng closely, "We are brothers!"
Hearing the word "brother", Shi Zisheng finally recovered from the pain. He flew into a rage and shouted: "Brother? Yes, we do call ourselves brothers! But, do you really think that I am a brother? You are the legitimate son of the superior family head. , whatever good things you have at home, your father will keep a close eye on you three brothers!
"Are my cultivation talents worse than yours? No! I just don't have as many resources as you! So, if you become a third-level warrior before you are twenty, you are a genius, and I hope that everyone will praise you. But I, my resources are not as good as yours. , I am only a few years behind you, so you say my qualifications are mediocre!
"Brother? If I were a brother, would you boss me around? In your eyes, I am no different from the other children of the branch. They are just vassals of the family! Your father is the head of the family, and one of you three brothers will also be the head of the family in the future. And I will only become an increasingly marginalized family member!"
The more Shi Zisheng talked, the more excited he became, as if he was venting something.
"So, you want to kill me?" Shi Zilin's voice became weaker and weaker, his tone full of sorrow.
Shi Zisheng's face turned cold: "Yes! If I don't kill you, I will only be a side branch of the family in the future! Only by killing you can I hope to become the head of the family!"
"The lineage of the head of the family? You...your father wants..." Shi Zilin thought of something, and became so angry that his blood surged faster.
He fell to the ground and couldn't get up despite struggling. He could only put his hands on the ground and stared at Shi Zisheng: "You want to betray..."
Shi Zisheng said one word at a time: "This is my father's choice, and it is also my choice! Shi Zilin, if you want to blame you, blame yourself. If you and Lin Chongfeng had been more effective last year and successfully recovered the magic secret book, how could there be What happened today?”
"You...poof!" Shi Zilin vomited blood, his breath weakened, and he could no longer speak.
boom!
Soon he fell to the ground, lifeless.
The four people in the room were silent.
"Okay, the matter has been resolved!" Xu Wei finally broke the silence first, "Shi Zisheng, you made the right choice. I have to make you stay in the cell for a day or two. When your father takes action, we will all be punished." I will take you there to confront your uncle!"
Shi Zisheng looked at the stone forest on the ground, then looked at the dagger in his hand, and finally turned his eyes to Li Gongfeng, who was standing aside, and asked: "Captain Xu, Li Gongfeng was recruited by my uncle, what should I do with him?"
It was obvious that he had murderous intentions and wanted to kill Li Gongfeng as well!
Xu Wei said: "You can't kill her. She is a witness now. If you kill her, wouldn't it be murder and silence? Then what's the point of tonight's affair?"
Li Yuxiang, who thought she would die, looked up in surprise when she heard this.
Shi Zisheng was shocked, looked at Xu Wei with grief and anger, and shouted: "I'm like this, and you still don't believe me?"
Xu Wei said coldly: "Xu said that promises are the most ineffective thing. We must take the initiative!"
Li Yuxiang suddenly chuckled: "So I don't have to die?"
Xu Wei glanced at her and said: "You won't die, but you probably won't be able to get out of this cell. Not only that, we will lock you in the cell opposite the Shi family children who were taken down with Shi Zisheng later. You should try your best to publicize Shi Zisheng's great achievements to them! Just being a witness is not safe!"
Shi Zisheng's hands and feet felt cold after hearing this, but he couldn't think of any anger.
My heart is tired, destroy it!
He accepted his fate!
People's method of arresting people's heads is like the humiliating (the word is correct, everyone understands) rings on the belly of a sow. One ring is connected with another, making those who hear it sad and those who hear it cry.
I really can't bear it.
After Shi Zisheng and Li Yuxiang were escorted back to their cells, Chu Tang and Xu Wei slowly walked out of the dungeon.
For some reason, it was night outside and the surroundings were darker, but Chu Tang felt that the darkness in front of him was much brighter and warmer than the flickering lights in the dungeon.
Seeing that Chu Tang was in a low mood, Xu Wei patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "Xiaotang, tonight may be a little more of a shock to you, but I'm doing this for your own good. You... just digest it well!" "
Chu Tang forced a smile: "Uncle Xu, I'm not as fragile as you think. I... learned a lot."
"That's good!" Xu Wei smiled, "Now everything is ready, all we need is Dongfeng, and we have to wait for Shi Junfeng's action."
But Shi Junfeng was more anxious than anyone else, and soon there was news!
