1. Prison time
The cold prison and the eerie wind flowed like the cry of a god. This is the closest place to the door of death, especially in the border city of Liaozhou, where the torture of officials is well known.
The crisp sound of shackles mopping the floor sounded in the dark, clang, and extremely terrifying. The man who was over half a hundred years old was heavily shackled, and his whole body was tortured to the point of blood. It's just that between the eyebrows, it still does not reduce the cold arrogance of the richest man in Liaozhou. He is Su Xin, the richest man in Liaozhou, who used to be glorious, and many people can't stammer. Now that feng shui is turning, he is already a prisoner whose fate hangs by a thread, just waiting for a paper order from the criminal department.
"Hurry up, is it possible to ask Master Hou to wait for you?" The jailer gave him a hard push.
Su Xin stumbled and almost fell. The trembling body straightened up again, and sneered a few times, "Dog minion!" ”
"What did you say?" The jailer was furious, and with a wave of his hand, he slapped Su Xin in the face. It hit Su Xin's eyes so hard that he fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
"Alright." A cold voice came from above, and a long figure stood in front of Su Xin.
Opening his heavy eyelids, Su Xin smiled extremely coldly, "Who should I be, it turned out to be Hou Ye's personal guard." Lord like the wind, it is really majestic! ”
"Your Excellency!" The jailer hurriedly changed his color and saluted respectfully to the wind, "This guy is too tricky, and he has always been stubborn since he came in." ”
"Master Hou is inside, take him in." If the wind does not change color, even the tone does not carry any emotion.
Hearing this, the two jailers set up Su Xin on the left and the right, and threw him into a clean and quiet room with half dragging and half dragging. With a wave of his hand, everyone retreated, leaving only the man sitting quietly in the middle of the room. In the dimly lit room, only a high skylight falls through the sparse fence.
Su Xin's body shook, and finally fixed his eyes to look at the man in front of him.
Dressed in brocade clothes, he is indifferent, Junyan's facial features are as delicate as a knife and axe carving, and his dark eyes are like an unfathomable abyss. He is the little marquis of the Marquis of Anton's Mansion - An Shaoqing, and he can support half the sky with one hand in Liaozhou City. A cup of fragrant tea gently turns in the hand, and the aroma is fascinating.
"I didn't expect that someone from me Su would end up like this, but I could teach the Hou Ye to remember, and I was really fortunate to have three lives." Su Xin sneered, and suddenly sat down opposite An Shaoqing, completely ignoring An Shaoqing.
"You ......" was stunned like the wind.
Who knew that An Shaoqing waved his hand, signaling that Rufeng didn't have to make a move. Raising his deep eyes carelessly, An Shaoqing smiled like a ghost, "I don't know if you remember, this fragrant tea was given to me by Master Su at the beginning." Now that Su Mansion is in today's situation, it is really embarrassing. ”
Su Xin sneered, "Doesn't Master Hou just want to know from my mouth where the Heart Protector Pill is?" If the Ming people don't talk in secret, you and I don't have to go around in circles. ”
The fingertips suddenly pinched the quilt in his hand, An Shaoqing's face did not change, "There will be no pie in the sky, how about Shaoqing and Old Man Su make a deal?" ”
"Deal? Hmph, now I have nothing, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Master Hou! "Su Xin hatefully don't look away.
Pushing the cup in his hand to Su Xin, An Shaoqing's lips outlined a charming smile, "Just take Miss Su Jin as a bet, how about it?" ”
Su Xin turned his head abruptly, stared angrily, and immediately took the case, "An Shaoqing, if you want to kill or chop you to rush at me, if you dare to touch a hair of my daughter, you will never want to know the whereabouts of the Heart Protector Pill in this life!" ”
As if anticipating Su Xin's reaction, An Shaoqing looked tepid, and only stood up slowly, "Old man Su is so angry, but if Miss Su knew that her father was in prison and tortured, I don't know if she would agree to ......"
"Promise what? What did you say to Jin'er? As if he had been poked in the underbelly, Su Xin's whole person was so excited that he couldn't stop trembling.
Rufeng stepped forward, "The dowry of the Hou Andong Mansion has been sent to the Su Mansion." As long as Old Man Su nods, Miss Su is the wife that Hou Ye Ming Media is marrying. ”
As soon as the words came out, Su Xin suddenly sat down on the stool, "No, no, no, you come at me, don't touch my daughter." She doesn't know anything, and you don't get anything at all in her. ”
"I heard that Miss Su's complexion is captivating, I don't know if it's true or not, but now it's time to verify it." An Shaoqing walked slowly to the door.
"Master Hou!" Su Xin knelt down, "Let Jin'er go, she really doesn't know anything." ”
An Shaoqing turned around quietly, glanced at him, and was unmoved at all, "Since she doesn't know, then you, the person in the know, will tell me." How is it? ”
Hearing this, Su Xin's whole face darkened, he didn't know that once he told the secret in his heart, not only would he die alone, but the entire Su Mansion, including his only daughter, would die. gritted his teeth and did not let go even after being severely punished, in order to save his daughter's life?
But now, he had to make a choice between his daughter's life and honor.
Which is more important, Su Xin knows better than anyone else.
Seeing that Su Xin bowed his head and was silent, An Shaoqing snorted coldly, "Tell me to go down and marry the eldest lady of the Su family in three days." The dark eyes suddenly condensed into a frightening coldness, and An Shaoqing whispered in Su Xin's ear, "I will let you live to see, what is life is better than death!" ”
Su Xin suddenly raised his head and stared at the direction An Shaoqing left, as if he was much older in a trance, and the horror in his eyes was accompanied by a frightening sourness.
Jin'er ......
