Chapter 267 The Crazy Man in Black
Shen Xuanzhi didn't know the other people, but he immediately called out the name of one of them.
"Wei Changli, why are you here? Didn't you go to Liancheng on business? I haven't seen you back in such a long time, I thought you were enjoying yourself out there!"
After hearing Shen Xuanzhi's words, the young man opened his tightly closed eyes, shook his extremely heavy head, rubbed his eyes hard, and then an expression of great joy appeared on his face.
With an extremely weak voice, he excitedly called out, "Brother Shen, is that you? Am I seeing things? It really is you, right?"
"How...how did you find this place? Brother Shen, be careful. It's dangerous here. Those men in black are heartless and insane. They are a bunch of lunatics without any humanity."
"They tortured us crazily with all kinds of torture instruments, almost making us feel so miserable that we wanted to die, a life worse than death, wuwuwuwu..."
Shen Xuanzhi quickly opened the prison door and rushed in. Looking at the dying young man on the ground, he couldn't help but shed tears again.
It is said that men don't shed tears easily, only because they haven't reached the point of sadness.
Seeing the two people hugging each other and crying, everyone felt extremely uncomfortable.
When Lin Pianran saw the miserable appearance of the young man, she couldn't help but secretly curse these beasts for having no humanity at all.
The boy's body was covered with scars, without an inch of skin spared. The exposed wounds were covered with various scars, which looked shocking. These scars clearly told of all the pain and torture the boy had experienced.
There were burns, knife wounds, whip wounds, and all kinds of wounds scattered all over his thin body. These scars were of different shapes and depths, which made people unable to look at them directly, but unable to look away.
The rich, pungent smell of blood continued to permeate the air.
Shen Xuanzhi rushed forward, looked at the tortured young man, and asked with concern, "How are you? Where are you hurt? Can you hold on? I will find a way to get you out, you must hold on."
The young man grabbed the sleeve of Shen Xuanzhi as he walked over and said anxiously, "Brother Shen, I'm afraid I can't... I have important information to tell you. Please lower your head quickly, and I will tell you quietly..."
Shen Xuanzhi lowered his head obediently and put his ear close to the boy's mouth.
The young man whispered with difficulty, "The third son of the Zhao Palace, Huo Duan, he... acted suspiciously. I... I was caught here because I followed him..."
Shen Xuanzhi slowly helped the man sit up and asked with concern, "Why are you so weak? What did those beasts do to you? I will rescue you and try every possible way to cure you. You will definitely not die."
The young man smiled weakly, "They... gave me a chronic poison, which is... to torture me, make me weaker day by day, and then die in excruciating pain..."
"Brother Shen, don't be sad. I am worthy of my official uniform, and that's enough..."
"Before I die, I can... I can still see Brother Shen. It's... It's so great! My death is not in vain. It's just... I will never see my family again. It's such a pity! I... I really miss them so much..."
"You've been poisoned? What kind of poison is it? What are the symptoms? Tell me quickly."
Shen Xuanzhi's face was covered with tears, and he kept asking questions with great concern.
He turned his head and looked at Lin Pianran with a pleading look on his face.
"County Lady, he is the second son of the Dingbei Marquisate, Wei Changli, a doctor in the Ministry of Justice. He went to Liancheng on official business half a year ago and has been missing ever since. No one has seen him alive, and no one has found his body."
"Marquis Dingbei Mansion? What is his relationship with Wei Ruyan?"
Lin Pianran still remembered the heroic woman in the royal hunting ground and had a very good impression of her.
The experience of killing wolves together has always been unforgettable to her.
"That...that's my sister...I'm his second brother."
Upon hearing this, Lin Pianran understood the man's identity.
She took out a "Hundred Poison Pill" from her sleeve and handed it to Shen Xuanzhi without hesitation.
"This medicine can cure all kinds of poisons. It can easily eliminate most poisons. Maybe it can save his life."
Shen Xuanzhi happily took the pills and expressed his gratitude repeatedly, "Thank you, County Lord, for the medicine. Your life-saving grace will be remembered by me and the Dingbei Marquisate. I will definitely repay you when I have the chance in the future."
Then, he quickly fed the "Hundred Poison Pill" into Wei Changli's mouth. Lin Pianran also gave him a large cup of spiritual spring water and asked him to drink it as soon as possible.
Because his injuries are so serious, after detoxification and with the spiritual spring water, he should be able to live safely!
Otherwise, he might not be able to survive with just one detoxification pill.
In addition to Wei Changli, there is another young censor Liu Jiuyou, whose background is also extraordinary.
It is said that his father is Liu Changheng, a famous imperial censor in the court. He is upright and never bows to any force, nor does he take sides with any prince. He only wants to serve the court.
Whenever he encountered injustice in the world, he always spoke up for justice and was brave enough to make suggestions. Even when facing extremely powerful people, he was not afraid. He was a man of iron will and was very admirable.
The young censor Liu Jiuyou was deeply influenced by his father since childhood and inherited the precious integrity and courage. Liu Jiuyou began to emerge two years ago, and about four months ago, he suddenly disappeared after leaving the court.
He was also subjected to extremely severe punishment. Like Wei Changli, he was tortured to the point of being on the verge of death. He lay on the cold ground, so weak that he had no strength left.
He and Shen Xuanzhi didn't have much interaction, but they had met a few times.
Shen Xuanzhi also recognized him, so he asked Jingyu to find a way to save his life.
He was also poisoned by a chronic poison. Lin Pianran asked Jingyu to give him a "hundred-poison pill" and a large cup of spiritual spring water, and then asked the secret guard to bandage his wounds very carefully.
It should be possible to save his life.
In addition to the two men, the prison also held a captain of the Imperial Guard and the head of the Ministry of War.
These people are on the list of missing persons. The person who has been missing for the longest time has been missing for more than three years. The others have disappeared in the last one or two years.
Almost all the people imprisoned in this prison are officials, from various departments, some working in the capital, and some in local areas.
