Chapter 17 Under the Skin

After thinking about it, Chu Jiu felt that it was better not to stay here, what if his lie was exposed by Tu Su Wuxi?

It has been two days since Mu Fengtang's murder case was found before, and Chu Jiu is always frightened. Therefore, people really can't do bad things, otherwise the mind will always not be at peace. She tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep.

And Xiao Jia, who was in the same room as her, was also at the moment, she was lying quietly with her back to Chu Jiu, but she was facing the wall with her eyes open, thinking about the man the day before yesterday. He saw that he was here, and he could not guarantee that no one else would find out, that he could not stay here for long.

The next day.

"You're all leaving?" Zhang Xiyu was surprised.

Chu Jiu didn't expect that Sister Xiao Jia would want to leave too. She thought of the man who pulled Sister Xiaojia yesterday, did Sister Xiaojia want to avoid him? Does he really have anything to do with Sister Xiaojia?

"Yes, Miss, thank you for taking me in, but I really have to go." Sister Xiao Jia knelt down and thanked her sincerely.

"Hurry up!" Zhang Xiyu didn't expect Xiao Jia to be so serious that she knelt down, she knew that no matter how much she persuaded the people who wanted to leave, she couldn't keep them, so she promised the two of them, "I will let the steward settle your wages in the next two days, don't worry." ”

****** ******

Castle Lord's Mansion.

Council Chamber.

After finishing today's discussion, everyone left, leaving only Tu Su Jinghong alone.

Soon, the city lord's wife came over with her own stewed supplements, because Tu Su Jinghong hadn't been to her for a while, but had been staying in the council room.

"Sir." The city lord's wife dressed up extra carefully today.

"Madame, you're here."

"Master, the concubine saw that you have been busy lately, and she was afraid that you would be tired, so she stewed soup for you to drink." The city lord's wife poured out a bowl of soup from the cup and handed it to Tu Su Jinghong.

Tu Su Jinghong took it, picked up the soup spoon with his right hand and took a sip, "Madame's cooking is really delicious." ”

The city lord's wife suddenly noticed his right hand, her husband is left-handed, but today she actually used her right hand, she asked, "Master, how do you use your right hand?" ”

"Oh, I hurt my left hand in practice recently, so now I use my right hand." Tu Su moved his left wrist in shock, but a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

The city lord's wife did not doubt him, and nervously wanted to look at his left hand, "Why did you suddenly hurt your hand, is it better?" ”

Tu Su put away his left hand, "There is medicated wine these days, it's almost good, you don't have to worry." ”

"That's good."

"Yes, Mrs. Wushuang's affairs, don't think about it anymore, he will have to bear the consequences for what he does." Tu Su changed the subject.

"But Wushuang is our child after all." The city lord's wife frowned, her eyes were worried and sad, and her crying voice came out.

Tu Su's face became serious, "Madam, you should not have given birth to this child." ”

"But ......"

"Needless to say, you go back and have a good rest, I'll be there for you tonight."

The lady of the city lord wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, "Yes, sir. ”

"You go back and have a good rest first, don't cry anymore, it's not beautiful to cry too much."

When the city lord's wife heard this, she immediately touched her face, "Master-"

"Okay, I lied to you, and you really believed it." Tu Su said with a smile.

"Master, you're too bad."

"Yes, yes, I'll make amends to Madame tonight."

The city lord's wife lowered her head shyly, "That concubine will take her leave first." ”

Tu Su nodded and motioned for her to leave.

The city lord's wife went out of the room under the eyes of Tu Su Wushuang, she walked a while and then collected the expression on her face, thinking to herself, Wushuang is really self-inflicted, she has already given money to appease Ting'er's family so that Ting'er can take all the charges, but he actually has to come out without permission to confess, and now I don't know how many people outside are laughing at her for not being able to discipline her son, and she actually taught a murderer to come out. Now she doesn't dare to leave this city lord's mansion. Fortunately, when he died, all worries were gone.

On the other side, Tu Su saw that no one bothered him anymore, so he immediately ordered the subordinates guarding the door not to let anyone in. He closed the door, walked to the bookshelf by the wall, and after gently turning an ornament, the wall actually opened, and when he entered, the wall was restored to its original state.

Behind the wall is a soundproof darkroom.

In the darkroom, only the faint candlelight on the wall illuminates the room.

At this moment, I saw two iron chains hanging down from the roof, and at the end of the iron chains was an extremely sharp iron hook, which fiercely hooked through the lute bone of the man lying on the ground. The man had been tortured to the point of being inhuman, his limbs had been severed, and the occasional insects and ants were crawling on the wounds.

The man looked up when he heard the movement, and behind the messy hair was a bloody face.

Tu Su Jinghong looked at this embarrassed man proudly, and then sat down at a table with a bronze mirror, he picked up a bottle of potion and smeared it on his face, and suddenly the skin on his face fell off, it turned out that he was not the real Tu Su Jinghong, the face on his hand was peeled off alive from the face of the imprisoned man behind him.

Tu Su Jinghong, no, it should be Duan Hong, he soaked that Tu Su Jinghong's face in a special potion, and his original face became purple and congested because he hid behind his face all day.

"Our lord of the city, how are you doing today?"

Lying on the ground, the real Tu Su Jinghong ignored him.

Duan Hong was very angry at Tu Su Jinghong's ignorance, so he told him what had happened in the past few days.

"City Lord, your eldest son, Tu Su Wushuang, has killed someone, and now he is locked up in the yamen, and he will be beheaded in a few days!"

Tu Su Jinghong reacted when he heard what happened to his son, and his arm moved.

Duan Hong saw that he finally moved, so he became excited and told the truth, "Tu Su Wushuang killed Liu Zuo's old man, it's really funny, everyone thinks that he killed it, and he himself thinks that he did it, but just by him, can he really kill Liu Zuo with a soft-footed crab?" ”

It turned out that on that day, Tu Su Wushuang only stabbed Liu Zuo with his dagger, and he did not check his injuries after seeing Liu Zuo fall to the ground, but fled in fear.

After Tu Su Wushuang left, Liu Zuo was struggling on the ground, and suddenly saw someone approaching, and he stretched out his hand to ask passers-by for help.

"Old man, why are you in such a mood to lie here?" Duan Hong walked up to him leisurely and asked knowingly, he had actually witnessed everything just now.

"Save ......"

"What do you say? I didn't hear you. ”

"Save ...... Destiny ......"

Duan Hong shook his head and said with a smile: "You are actually begging me, haha, I begged you not to drive me away, what did you do to me, have you forgotten?" Belch? He pinched Liu Zuo's face, then picked up the dagger that Tu Su Wushuang had dropped aside, and continued to stab Liu Zuo's wound a few times just now, until Liu Zuo gave up struggling and lost his breath.

Tu Su Jinghong heard Duan Hong's recounting of Liu Zuo's killing, and wanted to pounce on him excitedly, but as soon as he moved, the iron hook behind his back pulled his flesh and bones, "Ah-"

Seeing that he wanted to attack him and failed, Duan Hong suddenly became arrogant, "City Lord, don't forget your current situation. He stepped on the wound of Tu Su Jinghong's severed left limb, "Your hands must be very itchy, I'll help you scratch the itch!" ”

Tu Su's scabbed wound was instantly bleeding again when he stepped on it.
