With a bright moon and few stars. 月明星稀。 Zhou Yi falls in hospital, wipes the face to change to the middle-aged appearance from the old man. 周易落入院中,一抹脸从老者化作中年模样。 Usually in Sky Prison is this appearance, the supernatural power coordinates disguise technique, to shrink the bone merit, is the person of being intimate with does not recognize. 平日里在天牢就是这副容貌,法力配合易容术、缩骨功,就是亲近之人也认不出。 „The matter of Li, was ended.” “李家之事,算是结束了。” Act three times in secret, existence of Zhou Yi has caused the person to pay attention, tonight's eccentric from innate only one separation. 三次暗中出手,周易的存在已经引起人关注,今晚的老怪距离先天只一线之隔。 „Innate grandmaster estimate is scarcer, perhaps Fengyang country...... only my? Li Wu vertically and horizontally/able to move unhindered Fengyang Dayong two places, except for with cultivating Devouring Heaven Demon Merit the dark green Son of Heaven, again no one with it being a worthy opponent!” “先天宗师比预计的还要稀少,或许凤阳国……只我一个？李武纵横凤阳大雍两地,除了同修吞天魔功的苍天王,再无人与之匹敌！” Practices for 26 years, suddenly in mediocre was invincible! 修行二十六年,忽然就在凡俗无敌了！ Zhou Yi reminded itself, this was the immortal demon world. 周易提醒自己,这是仙魔世界。 Innate stepped into the cultivation world threshold, moreover does not understand the magic arts also not to have the Buddhist musical instrument, comes a member casually is not an opponent. 先天只是踏入了修仙界门槛,而且不懂法术又无法器,随便来个修士就不是对手。 „According to the humane logic, these mixes not good loose cultivator, knows the way to be hopeless, with it in cultivation world base and low such as, not Tathagata mediocre lords it over.” “按照人性逻辑,那些混得不好的散修,自知道途无望,与其在修仙界卑微如喽啰,不如来凡俗中称王称霸。” „Hearsay Fengyang country great-grandfathergreat-grandmothers have the energy of ghosts and gods, perhaps goes down in the world loose cultivator?” “传闻凤阳国太祖有鬼神之能,或许就是落魄散修？” „Also or was controlled by cultivation world mediocre, the dynasty alternates, but defers to the immortal will transformation!” “亦或者凡俗受修仙界管制,王朝更迭,只是按照仙人意志变换！” In Zhou Yi restraining heart self-satisfied, with the aid of Devouring Heaven Demon Merit and firm prisoner, is opportunistic to step into innate, had the strength of self-preservation slightly, cannot recklessly the unseemly behavior. 周易收敛心中得意,借助吞天魔功和牢中囚犯,取巧踏入先天,稍稍有了自保之力,切不能肆意妄为。 „Is cautious in word and deed, with concentration cultivation!” “谨言慎行,潜心修炼！” ...... …… Next day. 翌日。 The heavy snow stopped finally. 大雪终于停了。 Today lunar New Year's Eve, on the street the shop pastes the spring festival couplet decorating with red streamers lantern, quite rich lunar new year's season atmosphere. 今天正是除夕,街上店铺贴春联挂红灯笼,颇为浓郁的年节气氛。 The news that last night Zhen Ducal Palace was attacked, has not spread slightly, as if 200-300 people of death did not save in the world. 昨晚镇国公府遇袭的消息,丝毫没有传出,仿佛死的200-300人不存在世上。 The common people know that but the royal government wants to make you know! 百姓知道的,只是朝廷想让你知道的！ For example the common people only know Li Wu body dead Sky Prison, before being put in prison , conducted many deliberation halls to struggle, was not the common person can know. 譬如百姓只知道李武身死天牢,入狱前进行了多少朝堂斗争,就不是寻常人能知晓的了。 Saw with own eyes Li to be diminishing, something also spread initially, on generally was the official chats the light talk, the young male servant who side served listened, boasted with the relative good friend again. 眼见李家日益衰落,当初一些事情也流传出来,大抵上是官员闲聊叙话,旁边侍候的小厮听了去,再与亲戚好友吹嘘。 Passes on ten, ten pass on hundred. 一传十,十传百。 What Minister Zhang surface shows weakness, the fact consults Duke Zhen, made Li Wu wicked actually your majesty. 什么张相表面示弱,事实请教镇国公,实则让李武恶了陛下。 What reigning dynasty merit expensive/noble is to strive for the military authority, one is the floor rises the military officer with Li Wu, attacks brutally. 什么国朝勋贵为争军权,与李武一系底层升上来军官,大打出手。 Also or in Li Wu army direct descendant, to win promotion and get rich, invests under some Minister Zhang...... 亦或者李武军中嫡系,为升官发财,投入某张相麾下…… The news mixture of truth and deceit, the genuine and fake are not good to distinguish. 消息虚虚实实,真假不好辨别。 Short one year passes by, the Li Wu temple incense and candle reduces greatly, crosses again ten years eight years, was only left over the weeds is a partner. 短短一年过去,李武庙宇香火大减,再过个十年八年,就只剩下野草为伴了。 „In the world nothing is the time cannot obliterate, except for me!” “世上没有什么是时间不能磨灭的,除了我！” The Zhou Yi line to Sky Prison, carries the barrel to deliver the food. 周易行至天牢,拎着桶去送饭。 Prison guard Zhang Yun who is responsible for delivering the food, today goes home to celebrate the new year. 负责送饭的狱卒张云,今天回家过年。 Sky Prison is different from other yamen, during the lunar new year's season, the prison guard can only rest in turn washes, only has Zhou Yi is an exception, every day called the roll to be on duty as usual. 天牢不同于其他衙门,年节期间,狱卒只能轮流休沐,唯有周易是个例外,每日照常去点卯当值。 In being alone in the world, is instead inferior to be firm in home lively. 孑然一身,在家中反不如牢里热闹。 Zhou Yi does not have the relative, the predecessor ancestral home Ningshan County Kaoshan Village, still several hundred clansmen, the bloodlines near male cousin younger male cousin was also alive. 周易并非没有亲戚,前身祖籍宁山县靠山村,尚有数百族人,血脉近些的堂兄堂弟还在世。 In the past Zhou Yi was congenitally deficient, an age soon appearance. 当年周易先天不足,一副年岁不久的模样。 The Zhou clan elder suggested to Mr. Zhou, elects a child to adopt from the clan, so as to avoid after Zhou Yi die young, the prison guard position and Divine Capital dwelling no one inherits. 周家宗老向周父建议,从族中选个孩子过继,免得周易夭折之后,狱卒职位和神京宅院无人继承。 Mr. Zhou was on duty in Sky Prison, sees various salt za matters, how could to be fully correct the clansman thoughts? 周父在天牢当值,见多了各种腌臜事,岂能猜不透族人心思？ don't said that Zhou Yi had not died at that time, once complied with the matter of adopting, in the future Mr. Zhou day not false year, the clansman will also find the way to make Zhou Yi die. 莫说周易当时还没死,一旦答应了过继之事,日后周父天不假年,族人也会想办法让周易夭折。 Made back and forth several, the clan elder did not lose heart, Mr. Zhou broke the relations simply thoroughly! 来回闹了几场,宗老仍不死心,周父索性彻底断了关系！ After Mr. Zhou died of illness, Zhou Yi inherited the duty of prison guard, the Zhou clansman comes to Beijing to wait and see occasionally, waits for him dead of illness. 周父病逝之后,周易继承了狱卒之职,周家族人偶尔来京中观望,就等着他病死。 Waits right and left, Zhou Yi boils several uncle, several father's cousin's sons were also old. 左等右等,周易将几个叔伯熬死,几个堂兄弟也老了。 This relative broke thoroughly! 这亲戚就彻底断了！ „ old Zhou, “老周, Come just right, asked your matter. ” Xiaowei Zhu greeted one, collected to say in a low voice: „Today Sky Prison came a criminal, needs to suffer the technique of rivers and lakes thief with your, tortures to this boy!” 来的正好,求你件事儿。”朱校尉招呼一声,凑过来低声说道:“今儿天牢来了个犯人,需要用你那折磨江湖贼人的手法,给这厮上上刑！” Zhou Yi asked: „What matter violated?” 周易问道:“犯了什么事？” „Being an official can also do, makes money!” “当官的还能干啥,捞钱呗！” Xiaowei Zhu said: „This can fish specially, nickname day height three chi (0.33 m), no matter what the last three years pressed out to do the Luyang mansion, it is said plundered more than ten million taels of silver.” 朱校尉说道:“不过这位特别能捞,外号天高三尺,任上三年榨干了庐阳府,据说搜刮了上千万两银子。” Fengyang country one year of tax revenue, almost also ten million/countless two, 凤阳国一年的税收,差不多也就千万两, The Zhou Yi doubts said: „Civil official supports several rounds of torture, why also makes me make a move?” 周易疑惑道:“文官撑不过几轮酷刑,为何还让我出手？” In recent years occasionally has the unruly rivers and lakes murderer, Xiaowei Zhu then asks Zhou Yi to act uses/gives Xing, the reputation of blood prison old demon multiple source in this. 近些年偶尔有桀骜难驯的江湖凶犯,朱校尉便请周易出手施刑,血狱老魔的名头多源于此。 Xiaowei Zhu explained: „Royal government makes an arrest, which money conceals has not sought. This boy mouth is very sturdy and healthy, cannot on the cruel punishment, so as to avoid being not careful.” 朱校尉解释道:“朝廷抓了人,银子藏哪儿还没寻到。这厮嘴特别硬实,又不能上大刑,免得不小心死了。” „His family member life no matter also?” “他家人性命也不管？” Zhou Yi in Sky Prison so many years, has the government official to resist the cruel punishment occasionally, however the parental wife and children draw to suffer, some extremely few people can be aloof. 周易在天牢这么多年,偶尔有官吏能抗住大刑,然而父母妻儿拉过来折磨,极少有人能无动于衷。 The being implicated system is brutal, however Zhou Yi quite approved. 连坐制度自是残酷,然而周易颇为赞成。 This time was fastidious about a patriarchal clan body, the clansman enjoyed the advantage of corrupt officials, should one and withstands the penalty. 这个时代讲究宗族一体,族人享用了贪官污吏的好处,也应一并承受刑罚。 „In this boy family/home is a farm, long ago made starving to death of famine entire village entire village, does not have the parental family member.” “这厮家里原本是个种地的,早些年闹饥荒整村整村的饿死,早就没了父母亲人。” Xiaowei Zhu explained: „Wife and children possibly have, however is ordinary with money, does not know that hid where.” 朱校尉解释道:“妻儿可能有,然而与银子一般,不知藏在了哪里。” „Was this has prepared to be caught to be put in prison?” “这是早就准备着落网入狱？” Zhou Yi had the curiosity, carried the barrel to go to No. 7 B prison. 周易生出了好奇心,拎着桶去了乙七号狱。 The criminals lie on the straw mat, conducting the back all was spreading across bloodstain, the blood that the buttocks seeped out dyes thoroughly the clothes, heard the sound to raise the head slowly. 犯人趴在草席上,背上全是纵横交错的血印子,屁股渗出的鲜血染透了衣服,听到声响缓缓抬起头来。 The square country character face, has the righteous qi. 四方国字脸,颇有正气。 Zhou Yi opens the door to squat before the criminal, said: „white body, can rise to three high-ranking officials, in the future the be likely center, why to be that corrupt officials?” 周易打开牢门蹲在犯人面前,说道:“一介白身,能升到三品大员,将来有望中枢,何必做那贪官污吏？” The criminals keep silent, lay. 犯人默不作声,又趴了回去。 „More than ten million two silver, the royal government pursues, 11 fall on the common people, was forgives for you.” “上千万两白银,朝廷追回来,有十一落在百姓身上,也算是为你恕罪了。” Zhou Yi counts on the fingers a ball, the supernatural power changes to the needle-tip, drills into criminal within the body. 周易屈指一弹,法力化作针尖,钻入犯人体内。 Flows in within the body following the blood everywhere, the sharp aura has delimited the meridians, pain from inside to outside, putting to death by dismemberment capital punishment wanting is more unendurable. 循着血液在体内四处流动,锋锐气息划过经脉,从内而外的痛苦,比凌迟极刑还要难以忍受。 Puts to death by dismemberment always had the conclusion time, this wisp of supernatural power only did not puncture broken, the torture will be without limits forever. 况且,凌迟总有结束的时候,这缕法力只刺不破,酷刑永无止境。 These rivers and lakes ominous people do not fear death, does not fear the torture, was actually punctured in within the body by a needle. 那些江湖凶人不怕死,也不怕酷刑,却受不住一根针在体内刺来刺去。 „!” “啊！” The criminal pain exhales the sound, the body shakes such as shakes chaff, the both eyes hyperemia is red. 犯人痛呼出声,身子抖如筛糠,双目充血赤红。 Zhou Yi strokes criminal several acupuncture points, so as to avoid the dizzy of his pain in the past, must realize the penalty deadly soberly. 周易击打犯人几处穴道,免得他痛的晕死过去,必须清醒体会刑罚。 For a long time later. 许久之后。 „Money where?” “银子在哪里？” Zhou Yi waves to diverge the supernatural power, said slowly: „Perhaps you can challenge to withstand the limit, previous is the Washing Marrow Realm ominous person, is known as the person demon, was about two days of time incurs.” 周易挥手散去法力,缓缓说道:“或许你可以挑战承受极限,前一个是洗髓境凶人,号称人魔,也不过两天时间就招了。” „......” “嗬嗬嗬……” Criminal fiercely panting for breath moment: „Money in Lu, you make the royal government take!” 犯人剧烈的喘息片刻:“银子就在卢家,你让朝廷去拿啊！” „Jiangnan Lu?” “江南卢家？” The Zhou Yi brow slightly wrinkle, in the middle of Jiangnan many aristocratic families, eight surnames are oldest, may trace before the previous dynasty even previous dynasty. 周易眉头微皱,江南诸多世家当中,有八个姓氏历史最为悠久,可追溯至前朝甚至前前朝。 In the world does not have the millenniums dynasties, has the millenniums aristocratic families! 世上没有千年的王朝,却有千年的世家！ And, Lu can arrange first three. 其中,卢家能排前三。 „What's wrong, feared?” “怎么,怕了？” In the criminal eyes flashes through the hatred, hating the sound to say. 犯人眼中闪过怨毒,恨声说道。 „I also feared, therefore can only be a corrupt official!” “我也是怕了,所以只能去做个贪官！”
