Chapter 255: Progress is difficult
"Don't be afraid, in fact, I just want to ask you a question here." Gu Wanwan decided to appease everyone's emotions first, but this sentence obviously had no effect.
Everyone looked at her, fear growing in their eyes, as if she was the one to blame for their lockdown.
In fact, if it weren't for her and Xiuchun living in the inn, these people would definitely not have caused this kind of disaster. In the heart of the proprietress must not know how much regret this matter.
"Don't worry, after I finish asking questions, as long as you haven't killed anyone, I will definitely let you go!" Gu Wanwan made a promise to everyone.
Everyone looked at her suspiciously, and the fear in their eyes did not dissipate much because of this. Behind her, there was a faint sneer.
You don't have to look back to know where the laughter is coming from. Gu Wanwan couldn't help but be a little annoyed, looked back at him and said, "You promised me something, I hope you don't break your promise." ”
She really wanted to help Xiuchun find the murderer, because this would not only help Xiuchun avenge, but also help the innocent people to be freed, and the days when they were locked up in the dungeon by Yan Wushuang would definitely be worse than death for them.
So on the way here, she agreed with Yan Wushuang that if she could find the murderer, she would let him release the people in the inn.
But now he is laughing at her, is he trying to break his word?
"Don't worry, what this king says definitely counts, it depends on whether you have the ability!" Yan Wushuang's voice was still smiling.
It's not so simple to find the murderer, and it's not something she can do in three or two sentences.
She knew that Yan Wushuang was not optimistic about her, but it didn't matter, she would prove it with her own actions.
Gu Wanwan walked up to the proprietress, the proprietress at this time had her hair scattered, and her clothes were covered with dust and fine droplets of blood, it could be seen that Yan Wushuang did not torture her, this blood should have come from her husband who had been severely punished.
Although she was not tortured, the experiences of the past two days have tortured her to the point of mental collapse, and she is no longer the glamorous and beautiful proprietress she knew before.
Gu Wanwan's approach made her feel frightened, and she shrank into the corner of the wall while waving towards Gu Wanwan: "White girl, please, you let go of the people's women......"
"Boss, don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you, I just want to use you for two questions." Gu Wanwan tried her best to keep her voice as soft, she didn't want to frighten the proprietress at the beginning, just like Yan Wushuang, she didn't ask anything.
Of course, this is just his rhetoric, whether he really didn't ask anything, only he knows.
"I didn't kill people, I don't know anything, I don't know anything......" The proprietress did not let go of the fear in her heart because of Gu Wanwan's words, but because Gu Wanwan wanted to ask her questions, she was afraid of trouble, and kept saying to Gu Wanwan, "You go find someone else!" ”
And everyone else fell into deep fear because of this sentence, and they were afraid that if they were found by Gu Wanwan, they would be severely tortured.
"Boss, don't be afraid, okay? I really won't hurt you! Gu Wanwan repeatedly assured her, but the proprietress was still like that.
At this time, the communication fell into a dead end that could not be carried out, Gu Wanwan couldn't help frowning, and Yan Wushuang, who was watching this situation from the side, laughed happily.
"Look, you can't do that."
"If you hadn't scared them like this first, why wouldn't I even be able to ask?" Gu Wanwan stood up angrily and glared at him dissatisfied.
He got to this point, and he still had a smile on his face. Not to mention that you can't ask for clues about the murderer, even if you put these people back, I don't know if they can get better, and it is estimated that half of them will go crazy.
"You can't ask, and you still rely on this king?" When Yan Wushuang heard this, he was also displeased.
This Gu Wanwan, quite unreasonable mistake has been committed again!
"Isn't it? What are these people scared of you, do you have any humanity? "What does it mean to be on his head? That's what he did, and she's just telling the truth.
"Bai Ling, this king can't ask anything if you see it, go back!" Yan Wushuang's voice was cold, with obvious anger.
Hearing this, Gu Wanwan also became angry: "What are you doing?" I said yes, you're angry and want to drive me away, right? ”
"Don't forget that you promised me that when you get here, everything will listen to me! You're just listening, a dispensable existence! Gu Wanwan reminded him angrily.
Don't blame her for always reminding him, because he's too forgetful.
The implication of her words is that since she is here, she is in power, and he has no right to drive her away anymore. Otherwise, it is self-defeating, and it is just breaking your word in front of so many people.
"Of course this king remembers, this king will never break his word!" Yan Wushuang's words were cold, and it seemed that every word was squeezed out of between his teeth.
"Since you want to be judged so much, it's good enough to be tried here! This king will not be accompanied! ”
With that, Yan Wushuang raised his hand, and the guard quickly stepped forward to help him push the wheelchair.
"Slow down!" Gu Wanwan bowed towards him, with a smile in her eyes that couldn't be hidden.
I don't know how good it is for him to leave, it will only hinder her from asking questions here, and if she has something to do, she will give out some sneers and ridicule, which will only add to people's hearts!
After Yan Wushuang went out and the door of the cell was closed again, Gu Wanwan returned to everyone, but she was not in a hurry to ask back, but said to the guards on the side: "You go and get some food and water, remember, it's okay." ”
"Yes." The guards quickly went down.
Gu Wanwan turned her head to the guard on the other side and said, "You two go and get some chairs, and one of you will give them one!" ”
"Yes!"
Who wouldn't be frightened to let them kneel on such cold ground? Even if she said it 10,000 times that it wouldn't hurt them, they wouldn't believe it.
Instead of talking nonsense, it is better to do something that has real effect, let them relax their vigilance first, and then it will be less difficult for her to ask anything.
If Yan Wushuang was still here, she would definitely not be allowed to mess around like this, so she said that Yan Wushuang was walking well, and if he didn't leave, she wouldn't be able to show her fists and feet!
Soon, the guards who had been sent out returned and brought chairs and food to the men in the inn.
"Let's eat, we'll talk when we're done." Seeing that they wanted to eat one by one, but didn't dare to move, Gu Wanwan said softly to everyone.
Under Gu Wanwan's encouragement, everyone finally stopped cowering and rushed forward to grab food to eat. They were all hungry, and when they saw such fragrant food, they immediately devoured it and ate it.
"Haven't you given them anything to eat for the past two days?" Seeing everyone's hungry appearance, Gu Wanwan looked at the guards beside him.
"Back to the white girl, I gave them food, but they didn't want to eat it one by one." The guard replied.
"Don't want to eat? I'm afraid the food you give is really bad! "If you give them something good like they do now, they're going to starve.
"This ...... The prince did not specifically order it, so the prisoners distributed meals according to the rules of the dungeon. The guard spoke in embarrassment.
Gu Wanwan didn't say anything more, she knew that the guards were telling the truth, if it weren't for Yan Wushuang's special instructions, those who were locked up in this dungeon would be prisoners who made mistakes, so naturally they should act according to the rules in the dungeon, otherwise how could they be called prisoners? If the jailer can have good food and don't keep it for himself, how can he provide it to the prisoners?
Looking over there again, after a storm, there was not much food left on the table, but looking at everyone, it still looked like they hadn't filled their stomachs.
Among them, the one who attracted Gu Wanwan's attention the most was the proprietress who didn't eat two bites, and fed all the food in her hand to her husband. It's just that his husband is too injured to swallow at all, and the proprietress weeps while feeding the food.
No matter how she looks at it, she is just an ordinary woman, or a poor woman, why would Yan Wushuang say that she is not ordinary?
Another very strange thing is that after looking at everyone, although some of them have wounds on their faces, none of them are as badly injured as the shopkeeper.
Why did Yan Wushuang only beat the shopkeeper, and he beat him to death, and he was very light on everyone else? Could it be that after beating the shopkeeper, he relented and didn't want to beat anyone else?
He doesn't look like this kind of soft-hearted person, does he? Otherwise, the proprietress cried like that, why did he still have to ask someone to tie her up? If she hadn't been at the scene at the time, I'm afraid that the proprietress would have lost half her life like her husband.
Forget it, let's not think about it yet.
Gu Wanwan temporarily retracted her thoughts, the proprietress was still trying her best to take care of her husband, Gu Wanwan really couldn't stand it anymore, and walked over to her and said, "You better eat it yourself, he is so injured that he can't eat it." ”
The proprietress stiffened, turned her head slowly, and after seeing Gu Wanwan, she put down the food in her hand, rushed over and hugged her feet: "White girl, the woman begs you, you let go of the husband of the woman, he will be dying......"
Before Gu Wanwan could react, the guard next to her had already stepped forward and dragged the proprietress away, but Gu Wanwan's skirt was still stained by her hands.
"You're looking for death!" The guard shouted angrily, raised the whip in his hand, and was about to fall on the proprietress .
The proprietress was still blindly pleading with Gu Wanwan, all she said was that she had let her husband go, and the whip was about to fall on her, and she didn't care.
Seeing that the whip in the guard's hand was about to hit her, Gu Wanwan took a step forward, opened the guard's hand, and let the whip fall to the ground.
"It's none of your business here, step back first." Gu Wanwan ordered. The guards quickly retreated.
"White girl, you let go of the husband of the people's wife, the people's women are willing to stay, they can kill or chop if they want." Seeing this, the proprietress pounced again and begged.
She really has nothing special, and she is so pitiful, Gu Wanwan is still moved by compassion: "Don't worry, I will let you go!" But before you do that, you have to answer me a question. ”
"White girl, you ask, as long as the women know, they must know everything." The proprietress wiped the tears from her face and said.
