Daily life of captives

Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Li Shao smiled lightly.

Originally, there was no secret room in the Purple Orchid Hall, but the one in front of him was specially built for him by craftsmen Li Zheng ordered. It is about the same size as the inner courtyard of the Purple Orchid Hall, but it is very spacious.

There are three stone chambers in the Chamber of Secrets.

One is the bedroom, which has an earthen bed rammed up on the spot. The bed is covered with hay. There is a simple four-story wooden shelf, and the wooden shelf is full of books, all of which Li Shao begged from Li Zheng.

Behind a wall on the east side of the bedroom is a half-foot-square pool. The pool is less than half a meter high and contains icy cold water. The water vapor from here makes the whole secret room even more humid and cold.

The most shocking thing is the largest stone room in this secret room. In this stone room, all the instruments of torture are placed on the ground or on the wall. Some of them are from Changsun Boyi and Jie Jun. They were used in the interrogation of prisoners of war, but most of them were never seen or even heard of by the two of them. Those were also made by Li Zheng when he had nothing to do, and they would be used in the interrogation of the Ministry of Punishment on weekdays. It will also be used when questioning Li Shao in the Purple Orchid Hall.On the walls and the ground of this stone room, there are puddles of blackened blood, deeply soaked into the stone soil, as natural as it is.

"Why is there a torture chamber...why is there a torture chamber here?!" Changsun Boyi asked with red eyes, his eyes were about to burst.

However, Li Shao lowered his head and Yong Ning looked up at the sky, both of them were unwilling to speak.

Xie Jun walked into that torture room hesitantly, not sure if it was a psychological effect, but when he got close to the pile of torture instruments, suddenly there was a strong smell of blood rushing towards his face, which made Xie Jun's stomach overwhelmed.

It's not that he has never smelled blood, but he couldn't bear the thought that the blood that soaked the walls and the ground originally belonged to Li Shao.

Taking down a black leather whip hanging on the wall, Xie Jun touched the tiny barbs on one side of the leather whip, feeling chills in his heart.

"I left Beijing nine years ago to look for my eldest grandson. I lost contact with you six years ago. After that, you have been here for the past six years?"

"It's been six and a half years." Seeing that Li Shao still didn't intend to speak, Wei Ze answered Jie Jun's question on Li Shao's behalf, "His Highness was imprisoned in the sky prison for the first six months, and our people were able to send messages for His Highness. But... but Li Zheng spent half a year building this prison. After His Highness was transferred here, it was difficult for us to contact His Highness, and the contact with Mr. Xie had to be interrupted.

Afterwards, Lord Yong entered the court as planned, and relied on giving Li Zheng a tip-off to gain his trust. He finally gained Li Zheng's approval after sacrificing the lives of several adults and causing His Highness to suffer some flesh and blood. Only then did we have the opportunity to contact His Highness.It wasn't until Li Zheng led people to escape from the palace that we could take His Highness out of this dark and dark place! "

Back then they really wanted to kill Li Zheng, as long as they killed Li Zheng, His Highness would not have to suffer, but whether it is wise or cruel, the emperor is the emperor, and Li Zheng is not so stupid as to be hopeless, as a tyrant, he Knowing that many people want to kill him, so the sixteen guards of the Imperial City and the generals of the Habayashi Army are all Li Zheng's confidantes, and the guards in the Zichen Palace are even more impeccable. They have nothing to do with Li Zheng, so they can only wait, wait Changsun Boyi led hundreds of thousands of troops into Chang'an.But they didn't expect to wait for six years...

Xie Jun closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

No wonder the people he sent back to Chang'an couldn't find Li Shao. It was already very difficult for them to avoid the guards of the palace and search around. How could they have the energy to find the secret room in this huge palace?

The few people who were immersed in grief suddenly heard a "plop", and they were all startled immediately. Looking around, they saw that Changsun Boyi had walked to the edge of the pool at some time, and he had already jumped into it at this moment. up.

"Bo Yi!" Li Shao's face turned pale, and he turned to pull Sun Boyi up, but Wei Feng and Yong Ning stopped him together.

"Don't go over there!" Yong Ning grabbed Li Shao's arm with one hand and put one hand around Li Shao's waist, staring coldly at the elder Sun Boyi in the water, "The water vapor by the pool is too heavy, you can't go over."

Li Shao was held back by two people, but Xie Jun was left unattended. He ran to the edge of the pool in two or three steps, and shouted angrily at the eldest grandson Boyi in the water: "Are you fucking crazy? Hurry up!" Come up!"

How cold is the underground water, how dare the eldest grandson jump into it?What if I get sick?Now is the time when none of them can fall down. Did he really lose his mind because of the stimulation?

As if he hadn't heard Jie Jun's voice, the eldest grandson Boyi walked to the other side of the pool through water up to his chest, reached out to touch the wall, and then fished out an iron chain as thick as a forearm from the water.

"He tied you with this?" Changsun Boyi's voice trembled to pieces.

The underground is already gloomy and cold, and the water that exists underground is even more icy cold, and the iron chains immersed in the water are also icy cold. How can there be no cold air entering the body after soaking in such a place?Li Zheng, how could he lock Li Shao in such a place?how he...

Hearing grandson Boyi's choked voice, Li Shao felt a pain in his heart, and after firmly pushing Yongning away, he walked to the pool: "Boyi, am I here well?"

"He's your brother!" Changsun Boyi roared, tears welling up, "He's your brother, how could he treat you like this? How could he?! Ah!!!!"

Seeing his grandson Boyi beating the cold wall angrily, Li Shao gave a wry smile, turned around and sat by the pool with his cloak on his back.

He also thought that he and Li Zheng were brothers after all, they were so good when they were young, even if they wanted to fight for the throne when they grew up, they would not use too many tricks, but he still thought too well.

Li Zheng hates him because his mother and concubine robbed the favor of the queen, and because he robbed his son Li Zheng of the light. Even though Li Zheng has ascended the throne as emperor, the important officials in the court still miss him, so Li Zheng hates him to the bone .

The death of the mother and concubine was caused by Li Zheng who disrupted the situation, and the death of the eldest sister was Li Zheng's warning to him. After taking over the power of the world with the support of the Li clan, Li Zheng showed off his might to him by the side of more than 20 Chang'an troops. , So more and more loyal ministers and good generals died because of him, and there were very few he could save, so he also hated himself, hated his father and Li Zheng, and hated himself at the same time.

The eldest grandson Boyi suddenly came back from the other side of the pool, held Li Shao's hand hanging by the pool, pressed it to his forehead and cried, "I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

Changsun Boyi's tears wet the back of Li Shao's hands in a blink of an eye, it was cool, but made Li Shao's heart warm: "You are the only one in this world who can cry like this for me."

Yong Ning and the others would only be angry for him and complain for him, but they would not cry. Yun Zhu is a girl, and she would cry even when a bird was injured. A person who is wailing and crying out of proportion due to grievance and pain.

"It's all in the past, and I'm really fine."
