Chapter 22: Behind Bars
Not much......
The officers and soldiers escorted Su Mu, who had become a merchant and a land, to the mansion, Su Mu watched left and right, and the people waiting for the complaint at the door had already crowded around......
The head of the team took Su Mu into the side door and went directly to the lobby......
At this time, Lu Duzhong, the prefect of Jianye, sat in the middle, on the left and right were the chief lieutenant Yin Ce and the governor of the mansion Yanhui, and the master Qin Hou sat behind the table in the hall......
Of course, Su Mu didn't know the names of these people at all, but he felt that the military commander in the hall, with his eyebrows like a sword, his eyes were keen, he was wearing a silver helmet and white armor, and a bright silver kamikaze gun in his hand, he was indeed a hero, so he didn't feel that he looked at him more, and then looked left and right, and the third class of officials stood solemnly......
Su Mu knelt down......
Wait for the prefect to speak......
A startled ......
Su Mu looked up......
The prefect of Lu recounted the incident presented by Shi Gangfei, and asked loudly:
"Shang Lu! I'll ask you! Did your dart master keel ever say where he came from? How did you make a living before? ”
Su Mu didn't answer......
"Can you hear me?"
Su Mu still didn't answer......
"Okay, good......" Governor Lu nodded, and gave the mansion a look, Yan Hui nodded, wrote a piece of paper, and handed it to the officer, the officer took it to Su Mu, Su Mu looked at it, raised his hand and pressed the handprint, Governor Lu nodded, and with a wave of his hand, Yin Ce took the two of them and brought Su Mu into the cell behind the palace......
"Boom ......"
The iron chain was strapped, the cell door was locked, Yin Ce didn't look at him again, and went out with the servants, Su Mu exhaled, found a relatively dry grass ball to sit down, and looked out through the iron window on the high place......
++++ What time is it......
++++ They're in charge......
++++ should have given the keel news......
Su Mu looked beside him......
It seems to be a temporary place for prisoners......
Not a lot of space......
There were a few guards at the door......
++++ There may be arraignment later......
Su Mu thought about it, and sure enough......
A moment later, the cell door was opened and shackled on......
Su Mu raised his hand to feel the cold chains......
++++ Regret it?
Su Mu asked himself......
Suddenly smiled and shook his head......
In the next few hours......
Su Mu saw the various whipping methods of the officials in Jianye Mansion......
He felt like he had never been so manipulated in his life......
Hang, kneel, lie flat......
Whip marks covered his chest, back, and thighs, and by the end of the day, he felt like he didn't know what pain was......
In a trance, the hemp rope that strangled his hand was turned into an iron chain again......
Su Mu raised his head and saw Yan Hui looking at him:
"Lord Shang, why are you so troubled, your dart master has violated the king's law, I just want to ask you about his basic information, check if there is a criminal record, and we can also prepare, you ......"
Tong Ju picked up a piece of paper and shook his head:
"Hold it down first, and try it again tomorrow!"
Su Mu pressed the handprint weakly, it was difficult to get up and walk by himself, and the two officials set him up, he felt that he couldn't remember where he was injured by the fierce battle last night......
It turns out that forgetting a kind of pain, in addition to time, you can also use a newer pain......
Su Mu was dragged back......
As he turned the corner, he glanced through the fence at more strange torture instruments......
I can't help but think in my heart......
++++ I'm sure ......
++++ To hold on......
At this time, the two people in the Lingdu Dart Bureau looked at Su Mu's image......
I couldn't sit still......
Fu Qian took out the brocade box that Su Mu retrieved for herself yesterday from her arms, and it and the bracelet were given to her by Miss Xiaoyue......
Gently opened, there was a hairpin, and the jasper was light......
She has always believed that this is her most dear thing and she will keep it for the rest of her life......
But at this time, it seems......
She had to......
"Uncle Shang, you help me put on makeup, I'll go out and buy some food, and then, take this thing as a ......"
"You're ......"
Fleur nodded:
"I'm going to see him......" said Fleur......
"Huh? How can it be? Now let's ...... No, now I'm running out of money...... Don't risk ...... anymore."
"I've got my own way...... "Fluff affirmed, "help me find some old clothes first, the more worn, the better......"
Shang Lu nodded, found clothes, and the two cooperated to start applying makeup......
After a while, Fleur turned into a little beggar......
"How?" Fu Qian took the mirror away and asked, suddenly thought for a moment, and asked again with a wide voice: "How is it?" ”
Shang Lu nodded......
Looking at Fuqian's originally white and delicate cheeks, but now they were made like this, and her clothes were shabby and filthy, Shang Lu didn't feel a little distressed......
Although he knew that Fu Qian had been reporting to Yunxing and harming him, for some reason, Shang Lu found out from his contact with her that he didn't resent her very much......
"Then ......," said Fleur in a thick voice, "I'll go out first...... Don't leave ......."
Shang Lu nodded, and saw Fu Qian walk out of the door, shake off her shabby clothes, fly onto the roof, and flash into a remote street......
When Shang Lu returned to the house, he saw Su Mu's body resting on something......
This time Su Mu was locked up in the dungeon of Jianye City, because of the injury on his back, Su Mu didn't dare to lean against the wall, so he could only put his hand on the iron railing, leaned forward, and unconsciously felt as if he was about to fall asleep......
He has been cultivating immortals since he ......
It's good to sleep for an hour or two at night, and sometimes you don't even need to sleep......
Not to mention daytime ......
Now, he felt like he was asleep......
And wake him up......
It was the sound of the jailer banging on the iron door and the strong vibration, Su Mu opened his eyes, only to see Yan Hui saluting a scholar in a plain robe behind him, and then retreated with the jailer, and the scholar-like man walked in front of him and squatted down......
Su Mu struggled to remember......
++++ This man......
++++ Where did I see it......
++++ Oh......
Su Mu finally remembered that he was the prefect's master who was sitting behind the desk under the hall when he was promoted to the hall just now, but now he has changed his clothes......
"Shopkeeper ......" Master Qin Hou said softly, "I haven't seen you for a long time......"
Su Mu still didn't speak......
"Hey, you don't have to look at me like that......" Qin Hou handed him a handkerchief......
Su Mu was a little stunned......
He didn't know if Shang Lu was good friends with him......
hesitated......
Still reached out and took the handkerchief......
Nodding to him......
Qin Hou smiled slightly:
"I know, there is only the dragon bone left in your dart game, without him, there will be no more Lingdu dart bureau in this Jianye City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoActually, your vision is also good, he was able to escape in the personal capture of the lieutenant of the division......" Qin Hou turned around, "Not bad......
Su Mu only continued to nod......
"It's a pity, he committed a murder...... Qin Hou shook his head, "I'm afraid no one will be able to save him this time......"
Qin Hou slowly lowered his head and stared at Su Mu tightly......
From his eyes, Su Mu could obviously read something:
++++ He's asking me to beg him!
++++ He's got to do it for sure!
++++ But I must ask the shopkeeper to promise him something......
A thousand thoughts flashed through Su Mu's mind......
He didn't know if he should say yes or not......
However, he thought it would be better to listen to it......
Seeing that he didn't answer, Qin Hou shook his head lightly, got up and wanted to leave, Su Mu suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed his long shirt......
Qin Hou was stunned for a moment, suddenly laughed, and turned around again:
"Hahaha, good! Business shopkeeper! I won't say much, but you know what we adults want...... What is under the ground of your house......"
Su Mu was stunned......
"You think about it again...... Qin Hou squatted down again, "you don't have anything now...... Can you still hold it? ”
Although Su Mu was still silent, Qin Hou saw that his eyes were obviously different from the past, and he stood up with a smile:
"Someone! Give the shopkeeper some good food! Let him think about it! Hahahaha! ”
With laughter, Qin Hou walked out of the dungeon......
About half an hour......
Dressed as a little flower, Fleur returns to the dart board......
Carrying food in his hand, he carried in his arms the silver taels that were exchanged for hostas......
"Uncle Shang, is Su Muke okay?"
"I don't know who I met just now, but I'm resting now......"
The two looked at the sleeping Su Mu......
Fu Qian ...... from Shang Lu's eyes
I can't bear to see it......
"Uncle Shang, it's almost a day, you go back to the house for dinner first, I'm here to watch him, and I have to leave someone here to ...... anything."
"Alas, okay......" Shang Lu nodded......
Fu Qian looked at Shang Lu's back when he went out, which seemed to be much older than when he walked out of the Lin Mansion a few days ago......
The waist can't stand so straight......
Fu Qian took a deep breath, closed the door, poured some water to wash her hands and face, and then sat on the side, looking at Su Mu's slowly undulating chest that was leaning quietly there......
====Why are you so stupid......
====For the sake of others......
====Suffer like this......
Fleur wide clothes untie......
Get dressed......
Only then did I pick up the dry food and eat a few bites......
Looking out the window at the sky......
====......
====Just wait for it to get dark......
Above the main hall of the Yunxing Dart Bureau......
The spies reported to Cang Xingzi and Ning Hetong:
"Sect Master! Shang Lu had been in the government for a day, and he was tortured and interrogated, but he didn't say a word! ”
"Humph! I'll just say he's hard-boned! Ning Hetong said loudly......
Cang Xingzi thought for a moment and shook his head:
"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements, but I want to know, where is that keel now?"
"He didn't return the way he came, probably to avoid the officers and soldiers, so we haven't found him yet."
"He'll always come back......" Cang Xingzi nodded......
"What about the Lingdu Dart Bureau?" Ning Hetong asked......
The spy shook his head......
"There's an exorcist in the dart game......" Cang Xingzi said, "He has set up an enchantment a few days ago, and even if we can see anything, we must not believe it......"
"Then quickly send someone to the yamen to guard, be careful of that exorcist to save Shang Lu!"
"No matter how great his ability is, he dares to go to the government to rob the prison alone?!" Cang Xingzi asked rhetorically......
"Since he's alone! Why don't we go to the dart game now and look for something? Ning Hetong asked, "Now that Shang Lu is gone, can't so many of you beat a small exorcist?" ”
Cang Xingzi glanced at him, ordered the spy to go down, and then said:
"If it's so easy to find things out, why do you still keep Shang Lu's life?!"
"But ......"
"Nothing!" Cang Xingzi interrupted him, "Give you what you promised, sooner or later, you just need to run the dart game well, you don't have to worry about the rest!" ”
Ning Hetong's eyes widened angrily, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and sighed, shook his head and walked down, and after he left, a circle of black mist circled in front of Cang Xingzi, and Kang Shi quietly appeared with a long sword......
"What?" Cang Xingzi asked......
"The southern foot of Taihang found traces of the Xiaoyao Forest, and the dart car was robbed......"
Cang Xingzi frowned:
"Who's in charge of the flag?"
"Alien Man, Cinnabar."
"Can you be sure?"
Kang Shi didn't say a word, opened one hand, and a severed hand fell out of thin air, and the mutilated skin had turned purple-black, festering to the bone, faintly emitting a foul smell......
"Do you want to tell Zhu Yu......" Kang Shi asked softly......
Cang Xingzi thought for a moment and shook his head:
"Inform Sha Teng directly, immediately lead the troops to battle, and destroy their sharp qi first......" Cang Xingzi said, looked at the severed hand again, and smiled slightly, "This hand can be left, I have my own ......"
Kang Shi received the order, bowed and retreated......
That night, the hour had just arrived......
Fu Qian glanced at Su Mu again, put on the silver taels, and got up to prepare to go out......
"Be careful...... Shang Lu stood at the door and whispered......
Fu Qian nodded, flew out of the dart game, the dark eye opened, saw that the surroundings were safe, and went straight to the mansion, a moment away, but the door was already closed, Fu Qian jumped directly into the wall, avoided the officers and soldiers, and walked quickly to the back of the dungeon, in the house facing the heavy stone door, Fu Qian saw the light......
This is the room where Yanhui is judged......
Fleur quietly approached......
Four soldiers immediately surrounded him:
"What people!"
By the light of the lantern, the soldier saw that she had a beautiful face and gorgeous clothes, and that she was not a villain, so he saw that she took out a few bags from her bosom and distributed them among the four people
"Please inform Lord Yan that Lin Xiaoyue, the daughter of the Lin Mansion, wants to see ......"
A servant hurriedly entered the house to report, and the others also returned to their respective positions, just looking at Fuqian by the faint light, and after a while, the official who returned came out and invited Fuqian in, Yanhui had greeted the door, Fuqian came into the house, Yanhui closed the door softly......
Fu Qian looked left and right, this was a very simple room, a few candles, a square table on the north, a bunch of books on the table, I thought Yan Hui was reviewing something......
"Lord Yan, the little girl is Xiaoyue's personal maid Fuqian, please give you a ......"
Although the two don't know each other, they have both lived in Jianye City for many years, Yan Hui has visited the Lin Mansion and seen Miss many times, so naturally she has also seen her, and she is busy clasping her fists in return:
"Miss came here so late, I don't know what to do......"
"It's really inappropriate to meet at night, please forgive me......" As she spoke, Fu Qian took out a big bag, "I was entrusted by Master Lin to visit his old friend Lu Shang, because he was involved in a murder, Master Lin was not good to come forward in person, the housekeeper happened to be sick, and the lady was in charge of affairs but it was inconvenient to visit late at night, so I had to send me a subordinate, don't be surprised......"
Fu Qian put the bag in Yan Hui's hand, and lightly withdrew the salute:
"I hope you can make it easier for ......"
Yan Hui shook the bag slightly and nodded:
"The girl is really polite, since it is Master Lin's request, please wait a while......"
Yan Hui put the bag under the table, put on a winter coat, came out first, and led the way to Fu Qian, Fu Qian quietly followed behind him, Yan Hui only took the servants beside him, went down to the dungeon, made a few turns, and opened another door, with the help of torches, Fu Qian could already see Su Mu's figure......
"That's it for the front......" Yan Hui said to Fu Qian, "After speaking, when you get here, you can find the jailer ......"
"Lord Xie Yan...... "Fu Ying bowed down......
After Yan Hui nodded and went out, the jailer closed the iron door......
Fleur walked slowly into the ......
The inmates in several of the cells were already asleep, as very few people visited them at this time......
Flirty went outside Sumu's cell......
Looking at Su Mu who was leaning there weakly......
Slowly crouched down......
"Business...... Shang Bo ......"
Su Mu turned his head violently......
The moment he saw Fleur, he really wanted to call out her name......
But now I can only force it......
Su Mu dragged the chain to the fence......
At this time, he wanted to raise his hand to shake Fu Qian's hand, but he held back......
But in his eyes, there was indescribable excitement......
"You...... You've suffered......"
Fu Qian said softly, her voice a little hoarse......
Su Mu shook his head......
Fleur approached the fence and kept the sound to a minimum:
"The flying pigeon has informed him that he will come back soon after receiving the report, you guarantee your safety, and when you go out, you have to find evidence to prove his innocence......"
Su Mu nodded vigorously......
Fleur looked around him......
The plate in the corner didn't move......
Suddenly I remembered:
"You...... Can't even eat? ”
Su Mu shook his head and motioned for Fu Qian to reach over his hand, Fu Qian stretched out his hand, and Su Mu wrote softly in her palm:
("I, can, persevere, hold")
Fu Qian looked at Shang Lu's eyes at this time......
She was sure she could see Su Mu's determined eyes......
Flissley slowly reached over her other hand......
Hold Su Mu's hand tightly......
Turn your palms lightly and interlock your fingers......
Su Mu's eyes widened in surprise......
I saw Fu Qian close her eyes and quickly convey a stream of yang energy to him......
Su Mu's eyes were full of surprise and he wanted to let go, but how could Shang Lu's body twist Fu Qian......
Feel the hand of Fleur......
and the warmth that slowly flows into my body......
Sumu's eyes......
I kept looking at the girl in front of me who was doing exercises with her eyes closed......
From the hair to the eyebrows, from the corners of the eyes to the nose and mouth......
Not an inch has been missed......
I never left the ......
A cup of tea......
Fleur opened her eyes......
Seeing Su Mu looking at him upright, Fu Qian smiled slightly and shook his head:
It was only then that she suddenly felt the cold of the dungeon......
++++ You ......
++++ Why ......
"It's different here, I can't stay long, I can't bring anything here, I'll be discovered, it's cold at night, you must be careful......"
Only then did Su Mu understand why she had lost so much yang energy to herself just now......
Fu Qian stood up and looked at Su Mu again:
====I'm gone, be careful......
Su Mu nodded vigorously......
Looking at the back of Fuqian leaving......
Su Mu slowly closed his eyes......
I don't know if I just absorbed Yang Qi......
He actually felt ......
It's no longer so cold in the dungeon......
After Fleur left, the dungeon finally returned to peace......
There were only two words in Su Mu's mind:
++++ Thank you......
++++ Thank you so much......
Fleur walking out of the dungeon......
The jailer came to Yanhui's house again and knocked softly on the door......
Yanhui opened the door......
Let's get into the hibiscus ......
"Seen it?"
Fleur nodded, and pulled another bag out of her arms......
"You're ......"
"Lord Yan......" Fu Qian bowed and saluted, "Thank you for letting me in, this is what Master Lin meant, and please let him be less criminalized, after all, there is a debtor and a debtor who is wronged......"
As she spoke, Fu Qian handed over the silver taels again......
"Lord Yan...... I hope to keep tonight's incident a secret, and don't mention it to anyone......"
Yan Hui nodded:
"I know it...... Please go back to Master Lin, so that he doesn't have to worry, Shang Lu is not a murderer, and he has done a lot of good deeds in the city in the past, so I won't embarrass him......"
"Thank you, Lord Yan......" Fu Qian thanked again, "Then I'll take my leave first......"
"Please ......"
Yan Hui asked someone to send Fu Qian out, Fu Qian walked around the corner, carried light work, opened her eyes, and then returned to the dart game......
Seeing Fleur come back......
Shang Lu hurriedly stood up:
"How? I can't see it too clearly......"
"When we met, I told him about the keel......" Fu Qian replied, "Is there any news from the keel?" ”
Shang Lu shook his head......
"Then go back and rest...... I'm here watching him......"
"Why don't we both stare at it for a while......"
"No need to ......" Fleur shook her head, "I'll be here myself......"
Shang Lu nodded......
Fill the furnace with some charcoal......
Quietly walked out of the room......
Fleur looked out the window:
====Keel......
==== Now we can't do anything......
====Only waiting for you to come back......
====Hope......
====You have delivered the Night Pearl to ......
==== Otherwise......
Fu Qian looked at the courtyard wall of the mausoleum......
====Lingdu Dart Bureau......
====Maybe it really doesn't exist anymore......
