Chapter 42
Meng Ruhu stood outside the courtyard with a livid face, and his angry voice was like the ice of winter, bitingly cold, "If you fail to protect Madam, you should all be punished. Tell me the whole story, and if you miss anything, Sin is added to the class."
"Yes." Tianji and Xuan Yi knelt on the ground, a crack appeared on their usually cold faces, they could all feel the strong murderous aura on Meng Ruhu's body, and they didn't dare to resist in the slightest.
"Madam waited for you outside the courtyard after dinner. After a while, she entered the house with a hurried expression. When the subordinates went out to check, they found a pair of footprints. Immediately afterwards, Madam went to the bamboo forest." Tianji truthfully reported the situation at that time.
"There is someone lurking in the courtyard and you didn't realize it. Ineffective guards add another crime." Meng Ruhu looked at the two of them displeased, his murderous intent becoming more obvious, "Continue talking."
Xuan Yi's heart trembled, and he carefully organized his words, "After the madam went out, the subordinates followed. Seeing the madam walking through the forest seemed to be looking for someone, and then Li You appeared to argue with the madam..."
"Xuan Yi, pay attention to your words." Meng Ruhu interrupted Xuan Yi loudly, and knocked Xuan Yi back four or five feet with a palm, "If I hear from you that Madam is not at all, don't blame me for being rude. "
"...Yes." Xuan suppressed the uncomfortable feeling of surging blood in his chest, walked back and knelt down again.
Seeing this, Tianji hurriedly reported on his behalf, and said cautiously, "I heard from Xie Kai that Madam was attacked in the forest, and the murderer Li You has been caught and is waiting for your interrogation."
These words made Meng Ruhu's face look better, and he had a preliminary calculation in his heart. He ordered Tianji, "Put Li You in the torture hall and deal with him as a first-class crime. No one is allowed to see him without my order. Tell An Le , I will personally interrogate this person, if Li You dies, he doesn't have to be the hall master anymore. Within three days, find out who is lurking here."
"Yes." Tianji was slightly relieved, and finally turned Meng Ruhu's anger elsewhere.
There are seven classes of crimes in the punishment hall, among which the crimes of the first class are the most serious, and the punishments received are also the cruelest.The traitors on this mountain can only be regarded as second-class crimes, and the interrogation has always been done by people from the criminal hall. The head of the family has never interrogated, but this time he has to interrogate Li You himself, which shows how deep the anger of the head of the house is.It seems that Madam has reached an incomparable level in the heart of the head of the family.
Meng Ruhu is not going to interrogate now, so naturally he has to go back to his room to accompany Qi Lian.His wife was in such a severe shock, but instead comforted him and said that it was okay, it was a great fortune to marry such a sensible and considerate daughter-in-law.
Carefully pushing open the door, Meng Ruhu found the quilt shaking slightly through the weak light in the room, and knew that Qi Lian was not asleep, and when he walked to the bedside, he met a pair of sober eyes.
"Husband..." Qi Lian called out, the sweet voice was full of dependence, Meng Ruhu's heart softened when he heard it, he turned on the bed and hugged Qi Lian in his arms.
"Lady, go to bed, my husband is here, no one dares to bully you." Meng Ruhu kissed Qi Lian on the face, and extinguished the candle with his palm.
Qi Lian closed his eyes and laughed silently, lying in his firm and warm embrace, his uneasy heart instantly relaxed.What happened tonight did not cast a shadow on him, he was more angry than afraid of Li You's behavior.
What really worried him was the owner of the letter. He wanted to find a chance to confirm whether the handwriting on the letter was delayed.
Thinking of this, Qi Lian opened his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Husband, how is Uncle Chi's injury?"
"Small skin injuries are not a problem. With Chi taking care of him, Uncle Chi will recover soon." Meng Ruhu replied with his eyes closed.
After hearing this, Qi Lian suddenly became puzzled, how could he write to ask him out when he was not on the mountain?Whether Li You's appearance tonight was a coincidence or arranged by someone is still unknown.
"What are you thinking, lady?" Meng Ruhu felt that Qi Lian was distracted, so he changed his position and hugged Qi Lian.
Qi Lian quickly regained his composure, hugged Meng Ruhu's arms with a smile, shook his head and said, "As long as Uncle Chi is fine."
Meng Ruhu also laughed when he heard the words, lightly patted Qi Lian's back to signal to sleep, Qi Lian closed his eyes knowingly.It was a peaceful night.
Qi Lian had an injury on his foot, so Meng Ruhu asked the people in the big kitchen to bring him breakfast, after eating he changed Qi Lian's dressing, and teased the braised pork for a while before going out as usual.
This time he didn't go to the Fourth Hall, but went directly to the Criminal Hall.As the name suggests, the Seven Sins Building is built in the form of a pavilion, with seven floors in total, each floor can accommodate thousands of people, and the corresponding punishments are also different.The first floor is the most low-level, and the suffering is only flesh and blood.However, people who go out from this floor also have to lie on the bed for ten and a half months before they can walk on the ground.
Going up in order, the punishment becomes more and more severe, and the seventh floor is naturally the most severe.Ever since Li You was imprisoned, he knew that the only thing waiting for him was death. He waited all night in fear but no one interrogated him.Suddenly seeing the figures of Meng Ruhu and the head of the punishment hall, An Le, almost fainted from fright.
"Master, I...I..." Li You wanted to plead for himself, but he couldn't say a word due to the coldness in Meng Ruhu's eyes.
"Li You, you are so brave, you dare to disrespect your wife." Meng Ruhu sneered, stepped up the steps imposingly and sat in a chair, with a condescending look in his eyes.
Li You felt uncomfortable as if being roasted by fire, but his heart was surprisingly cold. He was so cold that he couldn't speak, and looked at the ordinary-looking young man standing in front of Meng Ruhu as if asking for help.If Hall Master An interrogates, he will definitely have the strength to explain.
Seeing Li You's intentions, Meng Ruhu sneered, smashed the table beside him with his palm, and said to An Le, "Go and interrogate."
"Yes." An Le took the order respectfully, and walked down the steps with light and slow steps, not like interrogating someone, but rather looking for someone to drink.The corners of his mouth are naturally raised, his eyebrows and eyes are gentle, when he is not talking, he looks like an elegant painting, which makes people feel extremely peaceful.
The disciples of the fourth hall are often deceived by the safe and harmless appearance, thinking that this is a good and honest master, but they don't know that those who can sit firmly in the punishment hall are not good people.
The punishment hall disciples all know that their hall master is a ruthless character who regards human life like an ant, and loves to torture people very much. The variety of methods is unimaginable, and the degree of ruthlessness makes people feel chills in the bottom of their hearts.
Although the master is also licking blood and killing people without blinking an eye, he often gives his opponent a good time, unlike Hall Master An, who makes people have to live or die.
"Brother Li You, don't be afraid, tell me what happened last night slowly." An Le's voice was like his own, with a gentle smile, which was the easiest to paralyze people.
Li You smiled gratefully at An Le, swallowed his saliva and said, "Last night, after drinking with the brothers from Xibaotang, I took a shortcut and went back when it was getting late. I didn't want to meet my wife in the forest."
Speaking of this, Li You stopped subconsciously, glanced at Meng Ruhu, met a pair of indifferent eyes as expected, and immediately began to swear with a fright, "You have to trust me, the master, I really dare not Madame is a bit disrespectful, I was the one who drank too much last night and got confused..."
"Who ordered you to do this?" Meng Ruhu ignored Li You's begging for mercy, his tall and imposing figure stood in front of Li You in a flash.
Li You was so frightened by his ghostly speed that his teeth chattered, he couldn't speak a word, and shook his head in panic.
An Le took a step back, and said calmly, "The people who drank with Li You last night have been interrogated by their subordinates, and what they said is the same as Li You. Li You often walks that road in the forest, every month Today, he will invite a few brothers to drink together, and he will go back around the same time."
"In that case, it was an accident." Meng Ruhu's eyes froze, dissatisfied with the answer.Seeing An Le nodded, he looked at Li You and said, "Someone sneaked into my yard last night. If you tell who that person is, I will spare your life."
"Big, big...I..." Li You faced Meng Ruhu's pressure directly, his tongue was trembling all the time, and he couldn't speak at all.
Seeing the panic and anxiety on his face, Meng Ruhu knew that Li You didn't know about it either.Immediately, his patience was exhausted, and he reached out and pinched Li You's neck directly.
The sound of 'click' was especially obvious in the quiet room, and Li You never had a chance to say the rest of his explanation.
