MTL - After Time Travel, I Married the Heroine and Her Brother-Chapter 32
There was a dead silence all around, and those cold and **** instruments of torture were extremely gloomy, like fierce beasts with teeth and claws. The prisoners in the prison are like dead people, like cold corpses. The complex and disgusting smell is everywhere, and the flames jumping on the wall are like demons dancing in carnival, silent and crazy.
Ye Ping was the only one left in the huge dungeon.
She rubbed her limp legs, and inexplicably found that she was not as scared as she imagined. Maybe it was because of Wen Yu's promise, or maybe it was because he knew that he was waiting for him at the exit.
If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, even if she was killed, she would never have imagined that there would be a life gate in the dungeon of the Criminal Division. What is the significance of this gate of life? Could it be to deliberately let some vicious people go and draw out their companions?
With mixed thoughts, she has begun to look at the layout of the dungeon. Except for the dungeons, it is a place of frightening torture, and there is no hidden door of any mechanism at all.
Since it is a dungeon, of course there is no light when you look up. People in the world often say that if you escape from birth, if the gate of life is really set at the top, there should be ladders that you can climb in the dungeon, but she looked around and found nothing.
Then she boldly inspected the prisons one by one without opening the door to enter. Every cell could be seen at a glance, and there was no place where a secret door could be set up.
After half an hour, she returned to the original place.
After meditating for a while, her mind suddenly became clear.
What is Shengmen?
Put it to death and come back to life!
If it's not on the top, it's not on the four walls, it must be underground. She walked towards the cell that Wen Yu had pointed out. The door of the cell was not locked, and the iron sill creaked when it was pushed open.
There was no difference between this cell and other cells. After looking around, she boldly moved the prisoner who was lying on the ground away. The ground where the prisoner lay was no different from any other ground.
Could it be that she guessed wrong?
She touched Mosuo inch by inch with her hands, but she still didn't find any clues. Look up and see the graphic mark on the cell wall, each cell has such a mark, it should be to distinguish the difference between each cell. She tiptoed to the mark, studied it over and over again, and finally found nothing.
An hour passed, and she found nothing. When there was no progress, she had suspected that Wen Yu was lying to herself. But why did the other party lie to her?
As the county prince, he should disdain to play games with someone as lowly as her, let alone be bored enough to play with her, so there must be something she overlooked.
Suddenly she thought of something and ran towards the place of torture.
Difficult to remove the pair of torture instruments that hooked the lute, and studied it repeatedly on the hook on the wall. Finally, under her pressing again and again, she heard a "pop?", and the sound came from the cell just now.
Where the prisoner was lying prone, a tunnel entrance appeared.
She was overjoyed, it really was here.
Authentic and cold, with a strong rotten smell. The oil lamp is like a bean, and the light is not clear, but fortunately, I can still distinguish the road under my feet. First go down, then pass a long corridor, and finally go up slowly.
I don't know how long it took, and finally reached the exit.
The so-called Shengmen, the mechanism is so far away from the entrance, and I don't know why the installer designed it this way? And this exit, said to be an exit, can also be called another cage.
At the exit is a study room with a strong ink fragrance and three bookcases. Behind the desk made of rosewood sits a man in white who is as cold as snow and as cold as ice.
Ye Ping slandered, this Prince Wen was so leisurely, he even changed his clothes.
Wen Yu heard the movement early in the morning, and only now looked up. The girl was quite embarrassed, but there was no fear on her face, and her eyes were as bright as stars.
This woman's intelligence is indeed rare. He has seen more than tens of millions of people, all kinds of people are different, but there has never been a woman who can make him look up. Even in a mess, it is still an existence that cannot be ignored.
"Prince, the little girl has come out."
"Um."
Ye Ping was startled, what does um mean?
Looking over from those bottomless eyes, it was like an endless night, clearly vast and boundless but unable to see anything clearly. She carefully observed the other person's face, but unfortunately found nothing. He thought to himself that this person did not know where he was before he was reborn, but judging by his aura, he might already be an extremely human minister. It's normal for her not to see through an old fox who has been immersed in court for many years.
"The king of the county promised before, can it be counted?"
"Naturally it counts."
Hearing these words, Ye Ping felt that the night was worth it. Although she didn't know what the purpose of this Prince Wen's move was, she was very satisfied with the result. That is to say, no matter what she does or says in the future, as long as it does not involve a human life lawsuit, the Prince Wen will turn a blind eye. She boldly imagined that if she played the role of an infatuated girl in the future, she would keep saying that she was in love with him, relying on his ignorance and pretending to be a tiger, wouldn't it be okay?
If so, wouldn't it be great?
"Thank you, Prince."
"no need thank me?"
"Thank you, Prince Jun, for your kindness."
Everyone said that he was ruthless, without blood or tears. But he didn't want to live another life, but he heard someone thank him for his kindness. He didn't know that a person like him would be sympathetic to others.
"You know my background, you should know that I am definitely not a good person, how can you be sympathetic?"
"Good and evil depend on people. I see good as good and evil as evil. I don't care much."
Good one, when I see good, it is good, and when I see evil, it is evil.
There is a way to life and death, and there is a way to death, either self-inflicted or man-made. There is a way to survive, and it is probably the same, either by finding one's own way or being guided by others.
This woman found a way out by herself, which is a personal creation.
After a moment of silence, Wen Yu stood up and walked out.
Ye Ping quickly followed, and was surprised to find that he was going to send her back. She wanted to say no, but she was not familiar with the place, and with only her two legs, she didn't know that she would go to the Year of the Monkey.
This place is not the Princess Mansion, but a house that looks not too big or small, and its location is roughly in the north of the city, but she is not familiar with the north of the city, so of course she doesn't know where this place is.
The house was too quiet, if it wasn't for the bright lights, she would have mistakenly thought it was an empty house. The house is empty and the wind blows from all directions. The wind blows people's clothes, some people are rustling and others are floating.
It was her who was shivering, and it was the county prince who was floating.
Shengxue's clothes, stern face.
Like the Son of God, but also like the Yin Envoy.
For a while, looking at the bright moon and the bright wind festival, it can be said that a young master is unparalleled in the world. For a while, it looked lonely, cold, deserted and windy, as if the evil spirit was unique.
Such a contradictory and stunning man can only be seen from a distance. Even if she is really infatuated and obsessed, in the eyes of the world, she is probably a toad, no matter how high she jumps, she can't eat swan meat.
Once in the carriage, everything in the cramped space will be magnified.
Like smell.
Ye Ping finally understood why Wen Yu would change her clothes. After walking around in the dungeon, she would more or less get that uncomfortable aura on her body. What's more, she walked such a long tunnel, and the smell on her body can be imagined.
Not to mention other people, she herself despises it. She consciously shrunk herself into a ball to reduce the area where the smell evaporated. Honestly looking down at his shoes, he almost didn't notice the dust on the shoes.
The carriage is steady and travels through the night.
The silent night seemed to be boundless, and the sound of horseshoes made people sleep.
Ye Ping didn't dare to sleep, even though the drowsiness kept coming. The tired body and strong spirit were pulling, like two extremely powerful forces tearing her sanity and energy.
really tired.
The body is tired, and the heart is also tired.
She buried her head in her knees and yawned depressingly. There is no incense in the car, it smells very good and soothes the nerves. Even though she kept telling herself that she couldn't go to sleep, she couldn't resist Zhou Gong's frequent calls.
After some time, she woke up.
For a split second, she didn't know where she was.
She was the only one left in the carriage, and she was covered with a dark green luxurious cloak. The cloak was very warm, and seemed to still have the scent of its owner.
There was an inexplicable feeling in her heart, an indescribable feeling. Slowly took off the cloak, folded it upright and placed it where Wen Yu was originally sitting.
That Prince Wen...is really unpredictable.
The coachman delivered it to the door of the house. After getting off the carriage, she walked briskly and knocked on the door tentatively. The door opened from the inside. Ye Ting hugged her worriedly.
"Eldest sister, elder sister, you are back."
"I told you it's fine, don't worry."
How could Ye Ting not be worried, she was almost worried to death. She was able to beat the hidden guard, but she didn't dare to do it, because she was afraid of hurting the elder sister.
She has been guarding behind the door, and opened the door to see if she heard any movement. Just now she heard the sound of the carriage, and then she saw the eldest sister get off the carriage. So King Wen not only picked up the eldest sister himself, but also sent someone to send the eldest sister back.
"Sister, then... where have you been?"
What a strange smell.
Ye Ping smiled, "I went to a place, but I can't tell."
She was afraid that speaking out would make Tingniang worry.
Seeing her sister smiling, Ye Ting was relieved. At the same time, it is inevitable to feel a little distressed, seeing that the eldest sister is really embarrassed, but she seems very happy. It turned out that the eldest sister cared so much about Prince Wen, as long as she could meet him, she would feel happy no matter how much she suffered.
Sanxi told her privately that her elder sister was ill.
She cried at that time.
I still remember that when she was a child, she used to envy her elder sister for having a good body. Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for three years, the eldest sister is sick. Although the disease is in the heart, heart disease is more difficult to cure.
"Sister, do you really like Prince Wen?"
If it wasn't for the joy to the bone, how could it be like this.
Ye Ping looked at the sky, who made the infatuated person set up by herself too successful.
"like."
Putting everything aside, just talking about Wen Yu's sleek and sleek appearance, even from a purely admiring point of view, she has no reason not to like it.
Ye Ting's heart felt astringent, she didn't know what lovesickness was, and she didn't know that there were people in the world who were infatuated with lovesickness, and she didn't expect that person to be her biological sister.
"Sister, can you try not to like him?"
If you don't like it anymore, won't you worry about gains and losses in pain?
"Okay." Ye Ping looked back at the night, secretly thinking that in the future, she really should slowly wash away her infatuated persona and step into a normal life. "For Ting Niang, I am willing to give it a try."
Ye Ting was so sad that she almost cried out. The eldest sister really loves her the most and is willing to do anything for her. She must take good care of her body and protect her eldest sister.
Ye Ping felt a little guilty, guilty that she had cheated on her innocent younger sister.
"I'll wash it later and sleep with you tonight."
Ye Ting finally burst into tears when she heard this.
…
At this time, the fire in the third room of the Wang family has been extinguished, and the burnt warehouse has also been cleared out. Although not much gold and silver antiques were lost, those calligraphy and paintings collected for many years and precious materials have been reduced to ashes.
Zhu's liver hurts with anger, and it is her confidant who guards the private treasury.
I was hit and fined, and I was fined, but I didn't ask anything.
Someone must have set the fire on purpose. Otherwise, how could the warehouse catch fire without an open flame. It's just that who set the fire on earth, she didn't have a clue for a moment.
If it is said that the ones who have not dealt with her recently are those lowly people from the Ye family. But those people were far away from Wang's house, she didn't believe that her concubine would plant a hidden stake in Wang's house. If he was really that powerful, he wouldn't have been pinched to death by her all these years.
If it wasn't for the Ye family, she really couldn't think of anyone else. Regardless of whether it is the Ye family or not, if I can't get out of this, I probably want to blame them.
Her eyes seemed to be poisoned, and she gave a loud pooh on the ground.
It's an eyesore, why don't you die and clean it earlier.
Burning her heart, scratching her lungs, beating her chest and feet all night, she has aged several years. After waking up early, she heard that her beloved grandson had a high fever again at night, and she was so angry that she wished she could rush to Ye's house and kill that family.
The fire at night could not be hidden from anyone, and it spread quickly.
By the time the news reached Nancheng, it was already afternoon.
Mrs. Ye was doing embroidery work, when she heard this, she glanced at the two daughters who were sitting together, embroidering and discussing. Her eyes moved slightly, but she didn't ask a word.
Ye Ping is not popular, and Ye Ting is not very good either.
The two sisters are very similar in this regard, which has always been Ye's heart disease. Mrs. Ye restrained her daughters to do embroidery work, hoping that one thing more would be better than one thing less. But I don't want Tingniang's temperament to be more and more like Pingniang, and I don't know if Pingniang did it alone, or the two sisters together.
She sighed softly, put down the embroidery and went out.
Ye Ping and Ye Ting looked at each other with understanding.
"Sister, do you think you really burned so many valuable things?"
"I'm afraid it's a little untrue, but it's enough for the third old lady to feel distressed for several days."
"...It deserves it, who made her think viciously."
"I'm afraid that for her, this kind of punishment will not only make her reflect, but will make her evil worse. Recently, let's be more vigilant, and don't let them take advantage of it again."
Ye Ting nodded, she listened to the eldest sister.
Ye Ping was not very happy in her heart, because the difference in strength was too great. Right now, my father is recuperating at home, so he can avoid it. If these female relatives stay in the inner house all the time, nothing will happen for the time being.
Ye Lian and Ye Zheng!
She stood up suddenly, because she was so anxious that she fell to the ground together with the basket. Needle and thread turned over on the ground, as if she was in a state of confusion at the moment.
"Sister, what's the matter?" Ye Ting also turned pale.
"It's okay." Ye Ping took a deep breath, "I just thought that Brother Lian and Brother Zheng have also been studying for a few days, and I don't know how knowledgeable Mr. Guo is. I always feel uneasy."
"If not, let's go and have a look?" Ye Ting became more courageous after these few incidents.
Ye Ping had this intention, and the two sisters went to see Mrs. Ye, and just about to express their intentions, they saw Sishun running back in a panic, saying that someone was making trouble in front of Mrs. Guo's house.
The troublemaker was a master surnamed Liang, who had worked with Master Guo in Yuqing Academy. Master Liang reprimanded Master Guo for not being good at his studies in front of Guo's house. He also said that Master Guo was just a master who taught piano, and he dared to accept students to teach, which was simply misleading.
Filled with righteous indignation, he looked at Ye Lian and Ye Zheng who were beside Master Guo with distress.
"I know that you need to go to school urgently, but you can't go to the doctor in a hurry. Doesn't Mr. Ye know that Guo Fuzi Academy is a master of piano skills, and you dare to study with such a person? Although you were kicked out of Yuqing Academy, but Since you have been taught in the academy for a few years, you should be able to study at home by yourself, so why bother to seek success in such a hurry, and go astray instead."
Ye Lian recognized Master Liang, who also belonged to the Wang family faction, and usually he was the one who flattered Master Hu the most.
"Master Liang, I just want to study with Master Guo, please go back."
"Student Ye, you... you are really a pity! If not, I will find you a school and guarantee that you two brothers can study, how about it?"
"I'm not going, please go back."
"Student Ye, although your reputation is bad, you can't give up on yourself..."
"Master Liang, how many benefits have the Wang family given you to make you speak so unconscionably." Although Ye Lian was young, after what happened during these days, he vaguely understood many things.
"You are so young and have such a bad mind, no wonder you were expelled from the academy."
"I wasn't kicked out, I didn't bother to study with those ignorant people and left by myself!"
Master Liang sneered, this student Ye really wanted to make amends for him. He was obviously kicked out of Yuqing Academy, but he actually said that he left by himself.
It's ridiculous.
He used to dislike Master Guo when he was in the academy, he was just a master who taught piano, and he pretended to be noble every day, as if no one paid attention to him.
Foreigners who don't know the heights of heaven and earth are afraid that they will not be able to accept a single student if they leave the academy, so they accept the two boys from the Ye family.
"Master Guo, Mr. Ye is too young to tell right from wrong. You are a grown man, don't you know the seriousness of the matter? What is your conscience when you mislead your son so much?"
"How do you know I'm a misguided child?"
Master Liang sneered, "You said you didn't mislead your son, so let me ask you, do you have a reputation?"
"No."
"Then who did you study under? Does your master have a reputation?"
"No."
There were many people around outside, many of them were neighbors, some of them wanted to send their children to Mr. Guo. Hearing this conversation, one by one secretly rejoiced.
How can a person who has no fame be a teacher?
Not to mention juren, even a talented student can do it. This Mr. Guo looks like a scholar, but he is not even a child.
Mrs. Liang wanted to laugh out loud. It is obvious that such a person dared to open a class to accept students.
"Master Guo, since you don't have any fame, how dare you blatantly mislead your disciples? I'm waiting for a group of colleagues to study hard, how can I be with you!"
"Although I have no fame, but I ask myself that I am not inferior to others in learning. Why can't I be a teacher?"
"You...you are arguing! I think your teacher who has never had any fame taught you like this. Do you still want to teach your ignorance to others?"
"Although my mentor has no fame, but..."
"A person who has no fame and reputation is actually a master with a calm face. Your teacher is harming people! Those who do harm to others are simply the black sheep among our masters. Everyone will spit on them!"
Master Guo changed his face in vain, and his momentum also changed drastically.
Master Liang panicked for no reason, and then straightened his back. A person who has no fame and presumably no background background, why should he be afraid of him?
"What do you think I am doing, am I wrong? Your master is a scourge..."
"Do you dare to say this in front of Taifu Chang?" Guo Fuzi regained his composure, and even had an indescribable smile in his expression.
Master Liang's heart tightened, "I...why should I speak in front of Mrs. Chang?"
The Chang family's three generations of emperor teachers, Chang Taifu is not only the teacher of His Majesty, but also the teacher of the current prince. He is the Taishan Beidou among their scholars, and he would not dare to go to the Chang family if he had ten thousand courage.
Master Guo looked at him with a half-smile, saying every word, "Because my mentor is also Taifu Chang's teacher."
Ye Ping, who came in a hurry, was ecstatic when she heard this sentence.
What a stroke of luck!
