After Li Xiangliang left, Dong Xiaowan cried uncontrollably in pain, buried her head in the straw, and the sound of whimpering came from the weeds piled up, which looked particularly eerie in the empty cell.

cried until the candles in the cell burned out, everything fell into darkness, Dong Xiaowan was cold and scared, and her back hurt, so she could only accompany herself to comfort herself by crying loudly.

The howling cries drowned out many of the sounds, including the sound of approaching footsteps, but it couldn't drown out the sound of unlocking.

The sound of squirming made Dong Xiaowan, who was still crying, suddenly alert, stopped crying, and retreated to the corner of the cell with her elbows propped up.

It was pitch black, Dong Xiaowan couldn't see anything, only a vague figure was unlocking, which scared her to the extreme.

The person who picked the lock was very quick, and it didn't take long to hear the sound of the lock falling to the ground.

Dong Xiaowan just wanted to scream, but someone covered her mouth and put a hemp rope around her neck.

Dong Xiaowan used all her strength to resist, the person who came this time wanted her life!

The person who came quickly put a hemp rope around Dong Xiaowan's neck twice, covered Dong Xiaowan's mouth with one hand, dragged the two ropes with the other hand, and pressed his knee against the wound on Dong Xiaowan's back.

Dong Xiaowan's two hands were still tied together, so he had to use his two hands together to try to make the hemp rope around his neck a little lighter.

But the man who came was very powerful, and the purpose was to take her life, leaving no room at all.

Dong Xiaowan soon coughed violently, and soon understood that the mastermind behind the scenes was definitely not just a group of people who had been negotiated.

Some people want her to confess, and some people want her to die, but this is not negotiable.

But as soon as he thought of this, he lost consciousness, and the two hands that were desperately pulling the rope also hung down.

Her body was already weak, and she had just been tortured, so she couldn't resist for long.

Luckily, before she could close her eyes completely, she heard footsteps rushing towards her, and faintly saw a little fire, presumably someone holding a torch or a candle.

But I can't know if I'm here to save her, because she's already ....... No more.

Seeing that she was no longer resisting and not breathing, her killers immediately spread their hands and fled in the other direction where they had arrived and went to the prison.

The person who came was Mao Xiang, although he was angry with Dong Xiaowan, but in the end he couldn't rest assured of her comfort, and when he saw the jailers at the door of the prison were knocked unconscious on the ground, he knew that something must be wrong inside.

With some servants, he ran straight to Dong Xiaowan's cell.

When I came over, I saw a small white body with blood on its back, lying in a thatched pile, and its life and death were unknown.

The prison door was open, Mao Xiang ran directly to Dong Xiaowan's side, picked her up from the front, and found that there were two purple marks on her neck, which should have been strangled, and tears flowed out in panic, and carefully put his fingers under Dong Xiaowan's nose to detect whether she was still breathing.

At first, I couldn't feel whether there was any breath under my nose, thinking that Dong Xiaowan had lost her breath. But Mao Xiang continued to put his fingers under Dong Xiaowan's nose without giving up, and found that he was too nervous, Dong Xiaowan was still breathing, but it was already very slight.

I felt distressed, as if my heart had just twitched, and I quickly shouted: "Go find the doctor!" ”

Untied the rope tied to Dong Xiaowan's hand tremblingly, put her on her stomach on the straw, and went to untie the rope on her feet.

When I looked at the wound on her back again, I slapped myself in hatred.

Why did I leave so confidently and boldly just now! Don't you know that Dong Xiaowan is in danger!

Mao Xiang didn't even dare to touch the wound on Dong Xiaowan's back, a few whips were pulled together, tearing the clothes, and even the blood-red flesh could be seen turned out, revealing a little bit of bone stubble.

The person who started it was too ruthless, and he didn't treat Dong Xiaowan as a person at all.

Mao Xiang couldn't imagine how such a petite girl could survive this round of torture tonight.

Mao Xiang took off his coat and carefully covered Dong Xiaowan's back, although he knew that Dong Xiaowan had a wound on her back, but he didn't want her to catch a cold, and he was at a loss.

The doctor soon came, and Mao Xiang stood aside to make room for the doctor, looking at Dong Xiaowan worriedly.

The doctor slowly opened the clothes that Mao Xiang had put on, knowing that in this prison, he must have been tortured to come to him, but he couldn't help but gasp when he saw the wound.

It's too ruthless, this is not a heavy punishment that can go down to a woman at all.

He turned his head to Mao Xiang and said, "Lord Mao, I want to take a closer look at this woman's wound, and please take a closer look at Lord Mao and the others." ”

took one step and turned back three times, and reluctantly left.

walked to the door of the prison, dragged up the jailer who had just been knocked unconscious at the door, and roared angrily: "Why did Dong Xiaowan get injured like this, who has been here since I left?!" ”

The jailer was also horrified when he looked at Mao Xiang's appearance: "My lord, Lord Li Xiangliang, the political envoy of Jiangsu, passed by after you left, and there were several women's roars and the sound of whips, which may have been executed." ”

"Then there was another man in black, and he knocked him unconscious before we could see him, and then you came, my lord." The jailer replied in a proper manner, after all, it was still in the Nanjing territory, and Mao Xiang, the parent official, was still very deterrent.

Mao Xiang scattered the jailer, and he knew very well in his heart that the jailer should not lie to him.

That is to say, there should be two groups of people who will do something to Dong Xiaowan tonight.

Li Xiangliang, the political envoy of Jiangsu, tortured Dong Xiaowan but didn't think about taking her life, so he must have to trap her, and the other man in black should have wanted to strangle Dong Xiaowan while it was dark.

Could it be that Dong Xiaowan has some secrets that can't survive in the world and can't be known to others?

The more Mao Xiang thought about it, the more irritated he became, Dong Xiaowan didn't tell him anything, so how did he analyze it, blinked vigorously, and made a mess of his hair with his hands.

Things are getting more and more complicated, but he doesn't have any clues.

The only valuable information is that Dong Xiaowan asked him not to involve Chu Shancheng when he left. Could it be that this matter is for Chu Shancheng?

"I'm angry!" Mao Xiang muttered and kicked the stones on the ground.

He was angry that he was just a sesame petty official, and if he wanted to protect Dong Xiaowan, he was simply shaking the tree, and the forces behind him surfaced one after another, and he even doubted whether he should continue to protect Dong Xiaowan.

Because it is very likely that he even got into it, and he was angry with himself, and he hesitated because he was afraid.

In his previous life, he had already been in Dong Xiaowan for a lifetime because of his cowardice, did he want to leave Dong Xiaowan halfway this time? Is one of his sesame petty officials so heavy?
