Lu Xiaoshu's heart moved, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Is it related to Marquis Marquis Mansion?"
Xue Heng's eyes flickered slightly, and he raised his head and said, "How do you know?"
Lu Xiaoshu's heart was relieved, and he picked it up again in the next second, and said softly: "This is terrible! I'm afraid this old thing won't let us off easily!"
How does she know? She was the one who revealed the news to Zhou Shizhi—wait a minute, she only told Zhou Shizhi the news during the day, and now she is meeting Xue Heng here. If she hadn’t been in a coma for at least a day or two, or Xue Heng and others have other sources of information.
Judging by Xue Heng's appearance, there should be another source of news.
"What's the point?" The person who spoke sighed: "We and the second master inadvertently found out that there is something weird about this private pier, so we wanted to come over to check it out. Who knew it—" It became like this!
The man smiled wryly, glanced at Xue Heng, and saw that Xue Heng didn't intend to stop him from speaking, so he briefly explained what happened. Speaking of which, they were also caught yesterday, that is to say, Lu Xiaoshu has been in a coma and disappeared for a day.
"Miss just said—an old man named Tian? Does Miss know who the boss here is?" the man finally asked.
"It turns out that you don't even know who the real master is!" Lu Xiaoshu was surprised, and thought: This is too unfair! If it was even more unlucky, he would just die here and become a ghost, and he wouldn't know who to seek revenge from!
Lu Xiaoshu said: "This old man surnamed Tian has a lot of background. He is the largest salt merchant in Yangzhou. The most valuable thing in his family is money. It can be said that he is really rich and powerful! It is said that he went to Beijing this time to curry favor with the Marquis Marquis, Congratulating Mrs. Marquis Marquis on her birthday!"
"So that's it!" The man nodded clearly, and several others, including Xue Heng, also showed a look of sudden realization.
"That's right..." the man said softly to Xue Heng. Sure enough, it has something to do with Marquis Marquis Mansion...
"My surname is Lu, what's your name?" Lu Xiaoshu asked the man again with a smile.
The man smiled and said, "So it's Miss Lu! You can just call me Ah San! By the way, how did the girl offend this Tian? How could she—"
"It's been a long time to say this! Our Liangzi was formed when we were in Nanjing. A few days ago, I gave him a hard blow, which made him suffer a lot, so it didn't mean that I was brought here. Already!"
Lu Xiaoshu also felt a little ashamed when he said it. If she hadn't been clever enough to try to trick him or find out something, she wouldn't have come to this point!
It's completely overturned in the gutter!
She felt like she couldn't forgive herself.
"I see!" Ah San nodded.
Xue Heng looked at Lu Xiaoshu and asked, "Is that so?"
Lu Xiaoshu curled his lips and said, "Of course it's more than that! The old man wants to break my tendons, put my ankles in shackles, and force me to be his cook. I don't want to become disabled, so I begged He cast a poisonous concealed weapon and shot him in the arm. In a fit of rage, he imprisoned me here! This old guy has a vicious heart and cruel methods. Haven't had time to greet you yet? Be mentally prepared!"
After hearing Lu Xiaoshu's words, several people couldn't help but stiffen their bodies slightly, and their hearts also trembled.
"Second Master, what should we do?" The other two also gathered around at some point, looking at Xue Heng worriedly.
Xue Heng himself is a tough guy with an upright heart. At this point, some people have a heart of iron. How can there be any other ideas
He frowned, and said coldly: "What should I do? Naturally, I have to push through. As long as they don't open their mouths, what can they do!"
Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help but said: "What you said is light, you think that everyone is as ignorant as you are because of iron! Hold on? Hehe, how can you hold on if you practice all 18 kinds of torture?"
"What do you mean?" Xue Heng glared at Lu Xiaoshu, straightened his waist, exuded an indescribably fierce aura all over his body, looked at her and said in a cold voice: "What you mean is to provoke them if they can't help it. Confession? Hmph, don't forget your identity! Do you do this to the young master?"
"Why are you so excited!" Lu Xiaoshu was not happy anymore, and said, "There is no need for you to talk between me and Brother Zhou, I think you are provoking! I mean, those idiots locked you all together Why don't you collude with the confession now, as long as you can make it right, why not make it right? You have to be tortured and beaten to pieces to show that you are a hero and loyal to your young master? You have to know, People's patience has a limit, wouldn't it hurt if your arm was cut off?"
"You!" Xue Heng's eyes widened by two points, and he scoffed, "Smart teeth!"
"Hmph!" Lu Xiaoshu turned her head away, she didn't want to talk to them at first, but for Zhou Shizhi's sake, she couldn't ignore it, so she said, "I'm afraid time is running out, you better hurry up if you want to make a series of confessions." Anyway, that old man may not know your details, even if you insist on breaking in by mistake, he will have nothing to say."
The three of them exchanged glances with each other, and they all felt that Lu Xiaoshu's words were somewhat reasonable, so Ah San gently tugged at Xue Heng's sleeve: "Second Master, I think Miss Lu is right, we still..."
How could Xue Heng not know this truth? It's just that he has always been used to confronting Lu Xiaoshu, so he couldn't get rid of this face all of a sudden, so he remained silent.
childish! Lu Xiaoshu thought to himself, curled his lips, got up and sat in the corner, away from them, closed his eyes and rested his mind.
After a while, I heard low voices coming from over there.
Sure enough, as Lu Xiaoshu expected, about two hours later, there was another sound of low and heavy footsteps in the passage, and everyone's hearts trembled.
The sudden bright light in front of them made everyone close their eyes subconsciously, and opened them again after a while, silently looking at the seven or eight people outside.
Lu Xiaoshu half-closed his eyes and saw it, but he didn't expect Master Tian to come in person.
She couldn't help laughing and said: "The master really has some amazing talents, tsk tsk, I didn't expect to temporarily suppress the toxicity in such a short time! But master, don't blame me for not reminding, the more the toxicity is suppressed, the more it will rebound. Great, the capable people under the master had better think of other ways quickly, otherwise it will be terrible!"
Master Tian's heart trembled, but his face remained calm, and he sneered, "Master, I don't have time to talk to you right now. Huh, dead girl, master is not worried at all! Anyway, even if it is death, you will be the one to take care of me! Don't worry! Come on, I won't let you die too easily!"
Originally, Master Tian deliberately appeared in front of Lu Xiaoshu with a calm appearance that he had already cured the poison, so as to disturb her mind, and then took the opportunity to threaten and intimidate him, so as to get the real antidote from her mouth. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaoshu didn't wait for him to play, and opened his mouth first.
If the opportunity is lost, the previous plan will be in vain. Master Tian stared at her bitterly, and said with a sneer: "Don't be complacent and die girl too early! The master has more than one or two capable people! If you obediently confess the antidote, the previous matter will be wiped out, and the master will not care about you, otherwise, snort!"
"Okay!" What Master Tian didn't expect was that Lu Xiaoshu tilted his head and thought for a moment, then nodded, and said with a smile: "When I think about it, if your words are really credible, I will be happy to do so !"
Master Tian was taken aback for a moment, then snorted coldly with a flick of his sleeves, and pointed at Xue Heng: "Bring him out!"
Not long after, the sound of crackling whips and shouts came from the execution room not far away, as well as the muffled sound of the man gritting his teeth and enduring the pain.
The crisp sound that swayed through the air and landed on the flesh made everyone's hearts tighten, but at this moment, there were four burly men with frosty faces standing outside the cell, let alone open their mouths. Not talking, not even making eye contact.
After the sound of whipping, there was loud shouting and shouting, as well as more violent whipping. The corner of Lu Xiaoshu's mouth twitched: Cruel, really cruel!
After what seemed like half a century, Xue Heng was finally dragged back, pushed heavily to the prison cell, and was dragged out again.
After a short time, all four of them took their turn, and were thrown into the cell in a state of embarrassment. Their clothes were covered with gashes from whipping, their exposed flesh was choked with blood, their eyes were mottled and messy, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell. The smell of blood.
"Hmph!" Master Tian took the time to straighten his well-crafted clothes, staring at Lu Xiaoshu.
Lu Xiaoshu was terrified, and said with a pale face, "You, don't you want an antidote?"
"You're very witty!" Master Tian sneered, raised his eyebrows and said, "Say it!"
Lu Xiaoshu gritted his teeth and said, "I, my mind is very messy, you—you have to give me time to think about it, tomorrow, tomorrow, okay? If you don't want to, what if I give the wrong prescription or take the wrong medicine?" Don't blame me..."
Lu Xiaoshu's voice became softer and timid as he spoke, and he looked at him cautiously before lowering his head.
"Damn girl, are you trying to cheat again?" Lu Xiaoshu's appearance was indeed pitiful, but for Mr. Tian, who had been pawned by her once, his persuasive power was obviously greatly compromised.
Lu Xiaoshu didn't say anything, he just grabbed the hem of his clothes uneasily, with veins popping out of his slender hands, he suppressed the trembling of fear.
"Okay, then I'll give you another chance!" Master Tian sneered, fixed his sharp eyes on her and said coldly: "If you dare to play tricks again, hum, I will chop off your feet tomorrow! Just keep your tongue , Master, I don’t believe you can’t pry your mouth open, think about it yourself!”
No matter how cunning she was, she was still a ten-year-old girl. Where had she seen such a bloody scene? Must have been genuinely terrified. Master Tian immediately felt more confident.
As Lu Xiaoshu said, although the toxicity was suppressed temporarily, the wood-like tingling feeling was still there, the whole arm was numb and completely stiff! This taste is really tormenting.
Master Tian led a group of dog slaves away, but this time, two people were left to guard here. The two of them were sitting at a square table not far away, chatting in low voices without even glancing in this direction. It wasn't until it was time to eat that he picked up the food box from outsiders, then got up and swaggered over, took out the key from his waist, opened the prison door, threw it on the ground, and said loudly: "Eat it! Some eat it!" Just eat, how many days can be eaten! A bunch of beggars... "
