Yu Jiu ordered someone to open the cell door and drag a unkempt man out of the cell.
This person was wearing dirty coarse cloth clothes, his messy hair was spread out, covering most of his face, his chin was full of beards, and his hands and feet were chained with iron chains.
The chains collided with each other, making a crisp sound as he was dragged out.
The sleeves slid down, revealing the skinny wrists. The nails had not been trimmed for a long time, and the gaps between the nails were full of black dirt.
No one could have imagined that this embarrassed prisoner was actually Jian Shujie, the county governor in charge of the entire Lu'an County.
Jian Shujie was probably locked up for so long that he was a little slow to respond.
Yu Jiu called him twice in succession, before he realized that the other party was calling him.
Jian Shujie raised his head slightly, and parted his hair to the sides, revealing a pair of confused eyes.
Yu Jiu stared into his eyes and said word by word.
"I'll take you out later, but you have to listen to my arrangements.
Do what I tell you to do.
You can't say a word without my instructions.
If you dare to mess around, your wife's life will be lost. "
Hearing the word Madam, Jian Shujie's pupils turned slightly.
He parted his parched lips and made a hoarse sound.
"I want to see my wife."
Yu Jiu: "When this matter is resolved, I will consider letting you meet your wife."
Jian Shujie: "I want to see her now."
Yu Jiu stepped forward and approached him, his deep voice exuding a strong aura of danger.
"You are not qualified to bargain with me."
Jian Shujie suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Yu Jiu's collar.
At this time, Yu Jiu still maintained the appearance of the county governor's wife. His appearance was exactly the same as that of Jian Shujie's wife, but Jian Shujie not only did not feel nostalgic, but only felt monstrous hatred in her heart.
"I'm going to see her now! Now!"
Old Wu hurried over and pulled Jian Shujie away.
Jian Shujie, who has been imprisoned for many days, has become extremely thin, his body is not as tall as it used to be, and his strength has also become much smaller.
Old Wu broke his hand without much effort.
Then Yu Jiu stretched out his hand and grabbed Jian Shujie's neck.
He is now a bit shorter than Jian Shujie, but with his strong strength, he abruptly lifts Jian Shujie up.
Jian Shujie's feet were off the ground, it was difficult to breathe, and her face gradually turned purple.
Yu Jiu stared at him sullenly: "I want to kill you now, it's no different from killing an ant. Do you think the ant is qualified to negotiate terms with me?"
Jian Shujie struggled desperately, but he couldn't break the hand that was holding his neck.
Just when he was about to faint from suffocation, Fang Wujiu in the next cell said slowly.
"Just kill him now.
As long as he's dead, no one can resolve your predicament right now.
At that time, the big and small officials in the city will force you to give an explanation.
If you can't cope, you can only hide in the county governor's house and dare not go out.
When the imperial court receives the news and sends people to investigate the situation, the arrangement of your Tianmen in Fufeng City will be completely exposed.
We might be able to get out of here. "
The old Wu next to him is trying his best to dissuade him: "Ninth Young Master, please calm down. Killing Jian Shujie at this time will do more harm than good to us. When things get bigger, we can't explain it to the sect master!"
Yu Jiu took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and tried to keep himself calm.
Jian Shujie can't die yet, at least not at this time.
Yu Jiu slowly released his fingers.
Jian Shujie couldn't stand still, and he fell to the ground in an embarrassment.
He rested his hands on the ground like an old dog, panting heavily, his chest heaving violently, and a bellows-like whirring sound came from his throat.
It took a long time for him to speak hoarsely.
"If I don't see my wife, I won't go with you."
Yu Jiu raised the corner of his mouth, showing a mocking smile.
"It's not as good as this, if you delay here for half an hour, I will have someone chop off one of your wife's fingers.
Your wife has ten fingers, which can make you delay for five hours in total.
If you still refuse to leave after five hours, then we will cure your wife from cutting flesh.
Although your wife is very thin now and has no flesh on her body, if you look carefully, you should still be able to cut off a few taels of flesh..."
Jian Shujie raised his head suddenly, his eyes were red and his face was hideous, and he roared.
"You are not allowed to touch her!!"
Yu Jiu looked down at him condescendingly and said coldly.
"You only have two choices now, either listen to us, and I will consider letting your husband and wife meet when this is done.
Either you stay here and go nowhere, and wait for us to bring your lady's fingers.
Choose for yourself. "
Jian Shujie stared at him stubbornly, the hatred in his eyes almost turned into reality.
Yu Jiu didn't dodge, just looked at him so quietly.
In the end, Jian Shujie was defeated.
"I can do as you say, but you have to keep my wife safe."
Yu Jiu smiled happily: "Of course."
Jian Shujie was taken away just like that.
Yu Jiu and Lao Wu also left, and the death row returned to silence.
Fang Wujiu asked Wen Jiucheng in the opposite cell.
"How are you?"
Wen Jiucheng leaned back against the wall, frowning and inhaling.
"Hey! I feel like my rib is broken. Yu Jiu's attack is really ruthless."
Fang Wujiu urged: "Stay and don't move, don't touch the wound, lest the ribs pierce the internal organs. At most, there is one more day before we can go out, and I will help you heal the injury later."
Wen Jiucheng endured the pain and responded, "Yes."
…
All the beards on Jian Shujie's face were shaved off, his hair was neatly combed, and his whole body was washed clean.
He put on a luxurious and solemn brocade robe and a crown of black jade hair, and the whole person returned to his former style, but his figure was much thinner than before, and his face looked pale.
Looking at himself in the full-length mirror, he couldn't help being a little dazed.
It was as if all these long days of imprisonment and coercion were a nightmare.
Now that I woke up, everything was back to normal.
Jian Shujie's pupils moved, and she looked at the lady standing beside her. She was still the same as before, with a gentle and gentle smile on her face.
He stared at her blankly, before coming back to his senses for a long time.
This man is not his wife.
She's just a fake.
The trance in Jian Shujie's eyes faded away, leaving only a deep indifference and fear.
Yu Jiu had a panoramic view of the change in his expression, hooked his lips and chuckled, and took the initiative to help him tidy up his clothes, his movements were very gentle.
"Remember what I said to you before, if you want your wife to be safe, don't try to challenge our bottom line."
Jian Shujie had a gloomy face, and said coldly, "I hope you can keep your word."
