Although he was not hung up with his hands and feet tied behind his back, but was lying on his back with his face facing the roof like a fat pig with its four hooves upside down, the hung man was still in great pain, especially when he realized that someone had entered the house. He was already in unbearable pain and could only make groaning sounds, silently begging for people to let him down.
Fortunately, after a while, he heard a voice that made him ecstatic: "A Liu, untie the man first."
"Oh." With this simple word, he felt the rope that was originally hanging his hands and feet suddenly lighten, and before he could feel happy, he fell down suddenly. This time, he was immediately scared to death, but just when he thought he would fall heavily to the ground, he was kicked in the buttocks, and then he fell flat on the ground.
He should have fallen flat on his face, but he didn't feel much pain when he fell to the ground. Instead, the kick on his butt was quite severe.
However, he soon stopped caring about the severe pain in his buttocks, because when he fell to the ground, the ropes that bound his hands and feet suddenly broke, and he felt countless muscles all over his body were numb and painful as if pierced by needles, and the pain was so severe that even tears came out. Fortunately, his mouth was still blocked at this time, so he wanted to scream but couldn't, and could only toss and turn desperately, trying to offset the pain of being hung for too long.
After waiting for the torturous pain to subside, he saw the young man who had captured him approach and took off his gag with one hand. But at this moment, he didn't even have the strength to shout, and was even more afraid that if he behaved inappropriately, the other party would torture him in various ways. He didn't dare to move at all, but just tried to beg for mercy with a hoarse voice.
"I was just confused for a moment, and my heart was blinded by greed, so I wanted to steal something. I beg you gentlemen to forgive me this time..."
Before the man could finish his words, Lu Sanlang came forward with a gloomy face, looked down at him for a while, and suddenly stepped heavily on the five fingers of his left hand. However, before the man could scream, he saw Ah Liu stuffed the gag cloth back into his mouth like lightning, blocking the man's voice.
Lu Sanlang was naturally very happy about this exquisite cooperation. He nodded to Ah Liu, then lowered his head and said word by word: "Still saying these foolish words... Do you think I am so easy to fool? This is the Imperial College, and no one is allowed to enter without permission. From the school officials to the school clerks, and then to the menial servants, I know them all, but I have never seen you before."
"It's already a strange story for an outsider to sneak into the Imperial College to steal. But you found my cell with such familiarity and unlocked it so easily. Now you say it was just a moment of confusion? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"
The man took advantage of the youth of Zhang Shou and Lu Sanlang, and thought that the boy who captured him was just good at martial arts. He wanted to beg for mercy sincerely in order to get away with it. Even if he was sent to Shuntian Prefecture to be charged as a thief, he would at most be beaten with a stick. He never thought that Lu Sanlang would be so sensitive.
He felt bad in his heart, but when he wanted to beg for mercy, he couldn't utter a word because of the cloth gag.
