At dusk, it is the time of day when people feel most relaxed, and the guards in the Taiping Religion are also inevitable.
Brother Zhao and Douzi could clearly feel that the guards guarding the area had become lax.
Brother Zhao turned his head and found that Liansheng had woken up. He was leaning on the iron cage, staring at himself and Douzi with a pair of red eyes, full of anger.
"I'll dig out your eyeballs again!" Brother Zhao cursed secretly, and then angrily scolded Liansheng. On the one hand, it was to embolden himself, and on the other hand, it was to frighten Liansheng. He always felt that this thin guy was not a good person, and he might have some bad ideas in his heart. What Brother Zhao hates the most in his whole life is this kind of guy who is so scheming. Not only is he scheming, but he is also very cruel. Because Brother Zhao, who has always been optimistic and enthusiastic, always falls into the hands of these narrow-minded people, he is really afraid of being cheated.
After listening to Brother Zhao's words, Liansheng turned his head indifferently. He gently touched his collar near his chest, and his hanging heart slowly fell back.
Douzi stood far away, but his eyesight was very good. He noticed Liansheng's little move at a glance. But he didn't say anything or do anything. He just silently recorded this small detail in his mind.
Brother Zhao suddenly waved to Douzi: "Come here."
Douzi walked over obediently: "Brother Zhao, I think it's almost time. Can we make preparations?" As he spoke, he glanced at Liansheng with his eyes.
Brother Zhao nodded, then leaned into Douzi's ear and whispered a few words to him.
Liansheng seemed indifferent to the little actions between them, but quietly perked up his ears, wanting to hear what they said. It's a pity that Brother Zhao kept his voice very low and Liansheng didn't hear anything.
"Do you understand?" Brother Zhao patted Douzi on the shoulder vigorously and winked at him.
There was a strong sense of understanding between Douzi and Brother Zhao. He smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Brother Zhao, don't worry about me doing things."
The two looked at each other and smiled, with deep affection and a happy atmosphere. Liansheng, who was huddled alone in the corner of the iron cage, looked particularly lonely and lonely.
"Hey, what are you two muttering about?" Liansheng pursed his lips. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked them both.
Brother Zhao crossed his arms around his chest and looked down at Liansheng: "You, a prisoner who will be executed for stealing treasures, have what qualifications do you have to question us?"
"Steal?" Liansheng sneered. There seemed to be two balls of fire burning in his eyes, seeming to destroy everything.
But soon, the two fires were extinguished, and Liansheng calmed down: "What evidence is there to prove that I stole the treasures from the Taiping Sect? I am locked up here because there is no evidence at all. If there is real evidence, prove that I I stole the treasure, so I should have dealt with it according to the canon. Now you are holding me here and sending you two to guard me. It is obvious that there is no evidence to prove that I committed the theft and you are only giving me a small punishment. It’s just a great commandment.”
Brother Zhao's purpose is to stimulate Liansheng so that he can take the initiative to reveal more things. But it was obvious that he could see that Liansheng was still trying his best to hide it.
So Brother Zhao said: "You are right. There is no physical evidence now, but did you overlook one point? There is a witness! It is because someone identified you and said with certainty that you went to the Treasure Pavilion to steal the treasure. That's why you were arrested and tortured. As for whether there is any physical evidence, it doesn't matter at all, okay? In addition, you also misunderstood what you said about temporarily detaining you here. The deputy leader does not want to punish you, but he has more important things to do at the moment, so he will detain you first. Put it aside, and when he is done with it, he will immediately start a new round of torture on you."
Every word of Brother Zhao was like a knife, stabbing into Liansheng's weakness one by one. Liansheng's face turned visibly gray, and the remaining rebelliousness on his face had disappeared. Douzi silently gave Brother Zhao a thumbs up. This trick was really clever.
Brother Zhao secretly laughed. His trick may not be successful for others, but for such a person who is held in the palm of his hand and respected by him everywhere, it is simply a nightmare within a nightmare. And Liansheng happens to be such a pampered person, so his pride and self-confidence will only greatly increase the success rate of his scheming trick.
Liansheng touched his collar again, and suddenly said sharply: "Even if that happens, I will never be afraid!"
"Oh? Why? What kind of confidence do you have?" Brother Zhao came closer to him and slowly leaned down, giving him a full sense of oppression.
Liansheng moved his face away as a reflex to avoid looking into Brother Zhao's eyes. Even if he didn't look at Brother Zhao, he knew that his eyes were full of ridicule and intimidation at this moment.
"What confidence I have has nothing to do with you." Liansheng sneered.
Douzi suddenly stepped forward and whispered a few words to Brother Zhao. Brother Zhao's eyes flashed with ecstasy, and then he looked at Liansheng again, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.
"Why are you so tough all of a sudden?" Brother Zhao said as he squatted down with a smile.
Liansheng didn't quite understand what happened between the two people, but he was keenly aware of the danger.
"You care about me?"
But before Liansheng could react, Brother Zhao suddenly took action. He quickly reached out and grabbed Liansheng's collar and pulled him over.
Liansheng's face hit the iron cage forcefully, and the pain was so painful that stars appeared in his eyes. He wanted to resist, but found that Brother Zhao was too strong and controlled him tightly like a pair of iron pliers. In addition, after being tortured, he was injured and had no strength, so he couldn't resist at all.
"Ahem, what are you going to do? I advise you not to act rashly. The deputy leader has not yet spoken out to kill me. If you dare to execute me privately, I will definitely tell him." Liansheng gasped a few times weakly. , after realizing that he could not escape Brother Zhao's control, he began to threaten Brother Zhao with words.
Brother Zhao did not accept his trick at all. He continued to stare at Liansheng with a smile, and reached out to pat his face: "You are really smart."
Liansheng's heart began to beat wildly, and he tried hard to suppress the panic in his heart: "I don't understand what you are talking about. I will give you one final advice. You'd better not touch me."
Douzi came over at this moment and rolled his eyes at Liansheng: "You have no power to resist now, you are just like fish on the chopping board. You still have the time to threaten us? Do you think you have the time to threaten us? We are stupid, you have no right to threaten us. So what if I kill you? There is no proof. As long as the two of us bite you to death because of your injuries, the deputy leader will not blame us. After all, one dead person is still two people compared to two living believers. A living believer would be more cost-effective.”
Liansheng's heart felt like ashes, his whole body was as cold as ashes, and he was shaking like chaff.
