Chapter Seventy-Eight: Inside the Prison
In a remotely dimly lit corner, there was not the slightest ray of sunlight shining in, and the air seemed to be filled with a corrupt air.
An old man, whose clothes were completely tattered and dusty, and whose long hair was disheveled and oily, as if it had not been washed for a long time, was scattered like a weed, and who looked completely depressed, was lying on the floor of a mat casually laid with a few straws, staring at the unreachable window leaf in the cell with a pair of cloudy eyes.
"I said, old Duγγγγγγ Just as Du Fu was staring aimlessly and with dull eyes, a vicissitudes of life voice also sounded next to him, apparently from another room.
"What's the matter, Old Song?" Du Fu heard someone shouting to him, but instead of turning his attention away, he looked careless, as if everything had nothing to do with him. He was still lying in his little place, his fingers casually clasping the straw mat made of straw, and he took off a straw and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it with taste. This down-and-out appearance is completely different from Du Fu's previous jewels and superior arrogance.
The other old man who Du Fu called Lao Song was one of the family heads who had tried to rebel at the clan assembly before. He, like Du Fu, including the other family heads who tried to rebel, were all imprisoned in the prison of Yunqi City by Yun Zhen, and there was no chance to turn over.
And this old Song was also a "key person" above the clan assembly at that timeββββ yes, he was the one, in front of everyone, he said that he would give Yun Zhen to the "irascible old brother" who arched down from the position of the city lord.
Du Fu, who was imprisoned together, naturally heard others say that at this time, so he also ignored this old Song. After all, his words and actions have pitted them all.
Although Du Fu didn't have a good face to show the head of the Song family, Song Rulie, the head of the Song family, still asked after being a little embarrassed: "Brother Du, did you let your granddaughter go to attack the Yunzhen City Lord?"
Song Rulie deliberately raised his voice a little when he asked, so as to attract others to come over and watch the excitement. After all, the fundamental reason why all this forced them to rebel was because of Du Ruoxuan's attack on Yun Zhen, and they always thought that Du Fu had taught them to do it. And Song Rulie naturally wants to embarrass Du Fu through thisββββ since you don't want to give me face, you want to give me a look, then I will give you a look at your face."
The effect of Song Rulie's words is also very obvious, and many of the family heads who were imprisoned here together also looked sideways and looked at Du Fu. Obviously, they also want to know what the answer is.
"I said it, this has nothing to do with me!" Seeing Song Rulie mention this matter in public, Du Fu's face also sank. He has always tried his best to deny that he had asked Du Ruoxuan to do something against Yun Zhen, but everyone always looked suspicious, and no one really took what he said seriously. At this time, everyone focused their eyes on Du Fu, wanting to see what else he had to say at this time.
"Brother Du, we really want to hear you explain this matter. Just after Du Fu once again vigorously denied it, another head of the family finally stood up, with a bit of majesty and intimidation in his tone: "I hope you don't fool us anymore." β
"I'm innocent! I really didn't let Du Ruoxuan do anything!" Du Fu couldn't wait to spray the spit in his mouth on the faces of each of their family heads. At this point, no one wants to believe in themselves.
But this is also what makes Du Fu extremely troublesomeββββ why did Du Ruoxuan suddenly attack Yunzhen?
Of course, according to the current result, there should be only one ββββ make Du Fu guilty.
Thinking of this, Du Fu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat behind his back, and leaned towards the corner of the wall with some trembling.
At this time, in the prison, there seemed to be a little more gloomy and cold, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing, and even Du Fu was a little out of breath.
He looked at the other heads of the family around him with horror, one by one with disdain and distrust, as if he were their enemy.
Thinking about it this way, after all, all the heads of the family said that they were allied with Du Fu, and regarded the Du family as their leader. Once Du Fu takes action, then they will definitely take action.
But this time, it was because of Du Fu's granddaughter ββββ Du Ruoxuan's attack on Yun Zhen that all of them were locked up, how could this not make people feel angry? What's more, everyone was still caught by Yun Zhen and imprisoned, and the affairs of the clan could no longer be consulted.
"Du Ruoxuan, you are so ruthless! Why are you doing this!" Du Fu was eager to use his head to hit the wall made of solid building materials to prevent the criminals from escaping. For himself, he had never expected such a thing to happen.
And the real initiator of all this ββββ Du Ruoxuan, to be precise, this result is probably only a small step in her entire goal.
When Du Ruoxuan was still very young, through various hexagrams and his own contact with Du Ruoxuan, he had already expected that Du Ruoxuan would be an indifferent person, although she was extremely talented, she seemed to look down on anyone, including him Du Fu.
But in order to be able to "buy" Du Ruoxuan, Du Fu gave all the excellent resources in the clan to Du Ruoxuan, even more than his own grandson ββββ Du Ruoying. And all of this is Du Fu's plan to please Du Ruoxuan and hold her firmly in the palm of his hand, wanting Du Ruoxuan to remember his "nurturing grace" to her. Even, when Du Ruoxuan was a child, Du Fu sealed some of her childhood memory fragments.
But what Du Fu didn't expect was that Du Ruoxuan had never kept Du Fu's "nurturing grace" in mind since she was a child, and she had never felt grateful and grateful to him.
This time at the clan meeting, it was nothing more than Du Ruoxuan's own willββββ deliberately attacking Yun Zhen, and then blaming himself for everything.
This is what makes Du Fu feel extremely remorseful and frightenedββββ Du Ruoxuan has completely possessed her own consciousness, and is no longer her own puppet that can be used.
