Chapter 071: Wang Hu's conditions
Back in the cell, the two bald officials did not come to take him away and then whip him, but Cao Ju was faintly worried, and after thinking carefully about what had just happened, he couldn't help but secretly scream that it was not good. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The so-called people die for money, birds die for food, since Zhuang Li and they are ready to unscrupulously want to get the treasure of the Beishan Yellow Turban Thief, the means they use will naturally not only deal with him, but will definitely deal with the people around him and blackmail him.
Thinking of this, Cao Ju was very anxious, if Cao Xu and Cao Ying stayed in Caojiabao and didn't come out, no matter how bold Zhuang Li was, it would be impossible for them to blatantly arrest people. However, after Cao Ying visited him yesterday, she made an appointment with Cao Ju to visit him two days later.
Today is the first day, tomorrow is the second day, and the day after tomorrow is the third day, which is two days later.
Two days later, Cao Ying visited the prison, and she would definitely not be able to hide from Zhuang Li, if they were on Cao Ying's way back to Caojiabao, they would arrest Cao Ying and use it to blackmail Cao Ju. There are only two possibilities, first, Cao Ju said the treasure place of the Yellow Turban in Beishan, then, Cao Ying may be released by Zhuang Li, but Cao Ju will definitely die.
Second, don't say whether you live or die, but Cao Ju really can't do it, he can't watch Cao Ying being ruined by those people and be indifferent.
Immediately, Cao Ju broke out in a cold sweat, clenched his fists, looked out of the cell, and thought to himself, Zhuang Li, as long as you dare to be a little disadvantageous to Ah Ying, I will definitely let you die without a place to be buried.
This night, Cao Ju didn't rest well, and he didn't have the heart to practice, he had been struggling with a question, whether to escape from prison.
Escaping from prison is not difficult, but it will soon be discovered, and the guards of the four cities will get the news, and even, on the way to Caojiabao, they will be ambushed by the county soldiers, and it is not very likely that Cao Ju will want to go back to Caojiabao to report the news.
If Cao Ying goes to Cao Ju's residence in Qiaocheng, Dian Wei and the others will all be in danger, and if Cao Ying goes out of the city directly, he will be arrested.
Whether to escape from prison or not, the result is not good, Cao Ju lost sleep all night, racked his brains, and couldn't come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, so he could only wait for Cao Ying's arrival the day after tomorrow.
Early the next morning, the two bald servants came again, and still brought him to the torture chamber, where he was served with a leather whip, which was fifty more than yesterday, and became two hundred.
Cao Ju still fought against each other, speeding up the speed of practice in disguise, and then when he was almost two hundred lashes, he pretended to faint gradually. When he was carried back to the cell by two bald officials, Cao Ju heard one of the officials say: "This kid fainted yesterday when he received more than 140 lashes, and yesterday his old injuries are still there, and today he actually received more than 190 lashes before fainting, which is really strange." ā
Cao Ju was secretly amused in his heart, but he heard another official say: "It doesn't matter how many whips he faints, the task of the two of us is to beat people, as long as we have enough whips." ā
The two threw Cao Ju into the cell, and the first official saw that Cao Ju was motionless and said, "This kid won't be killed by us, right?" ā
The second official grabbed him and said, "What are you doing, what does it have to do with us whether he dies or not, you're not nosy, anyway, when we send him back, this kid is fine, understand?" ā
The first official immediately suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, Lord Taishou asked us to greet this kid with a leather whip every day, it must be that Lord Taishou wants to ask some secret from his mouth, I understand." ā
The second official said with a smile: "Yes, the task of the two of us is to torture this kid every day until he can't bear to confess, as for his sudden death, as long as we don't find out, it has nothing to do with us, hehe." ā
After the two servants left, Cao Ju sat up and continued to practice, resisting the pain that came from his body.
Not long after, the prison meal was delivered, Cao Ju stopped practicing, began to eat, and after eating, continued to practice.
In this cell, where only eight or nine people could stand, there was really nothing else to do, and it also accelerated the progress of Cao Ju's practice.
However, Cao Ying's matter has always been in Cao Ju's heart, which makes him worried, but Cao Ju has no good way to resolve it, so he can only take one step at a time.
"I've seen Lord Captain."
I don't know how long it took, Cao Ju heard the respectful voice of the prison guard outside, and couldn't help but feel moved, opened his eyes, stopped practicing, and the pain in his body was not so bad.
A bearded officer-like man strode in, without glancing at the jailer, without even replying.
When Wang Hu came, Cao Ju sneered in his heart, and immediately lay down, pretending to be unconscious.
Wang Hu came to the prison door, glanced at Cao Ju, and said lightly: "Cao Ju, Ben will know that you are fine, tell me, what conditions do you want?" ā
Cao Ju opened one eye, looked at Wang Hu, slowly sat up, and said with a smile: "Lord Duwei is really powerful, and the trick of the lower official was easily seen through by the adult." ā
This is the first time Cao Ju has seen a real general, at the level of a captain, unlike Dian Wei, who has not been on the battlefield for the time being, Wang Hu's body has a strong murderous aura, and his eyes and expressions give people a sense of slaughter, which is a unique temperament that only people who have experienced a hundred battles have.
Seeing that Wang Hu didn't speak, Cao Ju stood up and said with a slight smile: "I don't know what conditions Lord Duwei is going to give to the lower officials?" ā
"Treasure Ichsei."
Wen and Wu are different, Zhuang Li said that he was divided into fifty and fifty with Cao Ju, and it was false when he heard it, but what Wang Hu said should be true.
Cao Ju smiled and said, "Where is Lord Taishou?" How is the Captain going to explain? ā
Wang Hu's face showed a trace of disdain, and he said arrogantly: "Captain Bendu is in charge of the military power of the county, who can help the general?" ā
Cao Ju said with a smile: "Lord Taishou can't help Lord Duwei, but the lower officials can't afford to provoke him." ā
Wang Hu seemed to understand what Cao Ju meant, and said lightly: "There is also the position of a military marquis." ā
It seems that Wang Hu is indeed very sincere, Cao Ju pretended to be a deep groan, and said: "Lord Duwei, let the lower official think about it for two days, tomorrow the lower official's sister will come to visit the prison, and I hope that the lord can send someone to escort one or two." ā
"Okay." Wang Hu almost didn't hesitate, agreed to come down, and then left.
Hehe, at least there is a layer of protection, Cao Ju breathed a sigh of relief, but within half an hour, someone came to visit the prison again, and after seeing this person, Cao Ju was overjoyed.
