Chapter 212 Prison Break and Revenge(1/3)
Today is Luden's third day in the dungeon.
Yesterday morning, he met Miss Miller and had a conversation, or rather a dispute, with her, and the two parties broke up on bad terms.
In the afternoon, a senior lawyer visited Luden and promised Luden that as long as the case entered the court, they would definitely win the final victory.
The lawyer also revealed to Luden that he had bribed a secretary from the Public Security Corps to speak for Luden, ensuring that nothing went wrong!
In response, Luden just smiled implicitly and did not express any opinion.
After meeting the lawyer, Luden's life in the dungeon became very regular.
Eat on time, sleep on time, read various newspapers in your free time, and understand the news outside.
No one from the security team would come to make things difficult for him or Todd, and the meals would even change every day, and the nutritional mix was very reasonable.
Todd never thought that going to jail would be so relaxing and comfortable.
Things changed on the night of the third day.
A priest who was in a hurry came to visit Mr. Ludden.
Standing in the dungeon, Father Phuket greeted politely,
"Mr. Ludden, good evening."
"Why."
Luden sighed for no reason and shouted to the cell next door,
"Todd, come here for a moment."
come over?
Todd was in a daze, he was in jail, and the dean's tone seemed to ask him to visit.
I really call this place my home!
Todd was about to ask himself how to get there, when a bunch of keys were thrown in front of him.
Following the dean's instructions, Todd opened his cell door and walked to the luxurious single room next door.
Mr. Luden sat on the edge of the bed, and the priest sat on the chair. Todd leaned against the wall, his eyes scanning back and forth between the two.
He didn't know what the dean asked him to do, but Todd knew very well that he could just follow the dean's instructions.
If the dean wants to harm him, there are a hundred or a thousand simpler ways that don't require any calculation.
Todd had nothing left long ago, only this life was left, and he was still burdened with the stigma of Jack the Ripper.
"Let me introduce you to Father Puji and this is Sweeney Todd."
The priest smiled at Todd, who felt a chill running down his spine.
He is an orthodox man from the Kingdom of God. There was a time when he was also a little boy.
The word "priest" represents a haze for many boys.
Todd was okay, no priest dared to do anything to him, but Todd had heard many related legends.
Of course he didn't have a good impression of the priest.
What's more, the Father Phuket in front of him didn't look like a serious priest.
The two parties briefly got to know each other, and then turned their attention to Luden again.
Father Puji said implicitly,
"Mr. Luden, I have some bad news to inform you."
"Let me guess, I should be sentenced to death?"
Luden put down the newspaper and said helplessly,
"Ganging or guillotine?"
"As expected of you."
Father Puji was not surprised that Luden guessed the truth.
His appearance in the dungeon late at night meant that the situation was urgent.
"Hanging."
"Can they do this?"
Todd couldn't help being surprised and asked,
"Sentencing a man to hang without a court hearing?"
This is too absurd!
As an orthodox member of the Kingdom of God, Todd's reverence for the sacred code is engraved in his bones.
Although he knew that Wudu was not very particular about the law, he never expected that Wu could do it to this extent.
"The court heard."
Father Puji explained,
"In the courtroom this afternoon, a judge who is incompetent and waiting to die directly convicted you and Mr. Todd and will be hanged tomorrow."
Todd:.
Is it too fast?
Is this the fog city efficiency?
A fair trial is delayed, and the hanging of a foreigner is inefficient.
To a certain extent, Wudu's code is also fair, but it is more fair to the people of Wudu.
Foreigners like Luden and Todd will not receive fair treatment in the foggy capital.
No one indulges them.
After explaining the current situation, Father Puji looked at Mr. Luden and asked seriously,
"Is there anything else you want to say before you are hanged?"
Lu Dengfa asked, "What do you want to say?"
"have."
Father Puji took out a black and rotten rope from his waist, handed it to Luden, and said respectfully,
"If it's convenient, could you use this rope?"
Ludden:.
"Put this thing away, who are you scaring?"
Luden rolled his eyes and said angrily,
"I won't die for a crime I didn't commit!"
That time in Qiyun Kingdom, Luden admitted that he had gone too far, his hands were stained with too much blood, and his methods were too radical, so he was sent to the gallows.
The same goes for the Kingdom of God. If Luden does not return to the Kingdom of God, the Senate will never kill him.
At the gambling table, Luden is a good gambler who is willing to admit defeat.
but!
This time, the banker ignored Lu Deng's morals and slapped Lu Deng with an unfounded charge. He was about to be sent to the gallows indiscriminately.
If Luden didn't resist at this point, he could just find a smelly ditch and drown himself.
He is not a son-in-law, so there is no need to feel so aggrieved.
"so."
Father Puji looked at Luden and asked seriously,
"You don't want to hang up yet, do you?"
"It took me a lot of effort to get back."
Thinking of his 100 million Nebula coins, Luden felt so distressed that he couldn't breathe. He gritted his teeth and said,
"It would be a bit rude to die so soon after coming back!"
"Understood."
Father Puji put away the noose and bowed slightly,
"We will assist you in jailbreaking. In exchange, you must give us a promise."
"What a promise."
"You want to stay in Fog City."
Father Puji looked straight at Luden and said seriously,
"At least stay for a while and bring them some blessings?"
