Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 250: The Golden Knife in the Box Is Still Bloody (2)
The night was eerily quiet.
The guards on patrol have all gone to rest, and the guards on shift are sitting outside drinking and warming themselves by the fire.
The prison was filled with grunts and coughs.
Lu Ning was tightly wrapped in mink fur and curled up on the thin straw mat. She still couldn't resist the cold wind coming from all directions. It penetrated into her body along every crevice of her adoptive father's body. She couldn't help the cold air.
Started to cough.
He could only hear the sound of footsteps in the corridor, and then the sound of the iron door opening. Lu Ning didn't want to leave the still warm Diaoqiu at this moment, and went to salute.
A cold voice came down from the top of my head: "Huh! How dare you sleep! Someone, drag her out!" jj.br
The two jailers immediately ran over, lifted off Lu Ning's mink fur, and dragged her to the ground.
The cold wind completely awoke Lu Ning. She raised her head and looked at Magistrate Cai coldly: "Sir, what do you mean?"
Magistrate Cai shouted angrily: "What do you mean by asking me? I ask you where have all the people in the caravan gone? Why is it that the courtyard has been deserted for a long time, and now they are nowhere to be seen in the entire Lingzhou city?"
There’s a trace!」
Lu Ning breathed a sigh of relief - it seemed that Ye Guming did not disappoint her this time, things were done quickly and safely!
She frowned slightly and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Sir, I have been in prison all this time and have never taken a step out! How can I know what is happening outside?"
Magistrate Cai looked at her with a sinister gaze and said with a ferocious smile: "I think it's probably you who told them to hide it! It seems that the secrets you saw in the mine were not as few as you said! That's why you
Come here on your own initiative and try to hold me back so that they can escape and fetch reinforcements!"
Lu Ning's face changed slightly, and he was secretly frightened: It seems that Magistrate Cai is not stupid and not so easy to deceive!
But she continued to play dumb and said calmly: "I can't understand what you're saying, sir. I've told you everything I know! If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do about it!"
Magistrate Cai sneered and said, "Don't pretend to be stupid with me! If you don't recruit me truthfully, you won't be able to get out of this prison!"
Lu Ning looked at him in surprise and laughed loudly: "Did I hear you right? Your Excellency, didn't you plan to let me go? This is a death row, do you think I don't know?"
Magistrate Cai suddenly became furious and shouted: "What a sharp-tongued female thief who won't shed tears until she sees the coffin! Someone, give me a stick!"
Lu Ning was shocked and took two steps back.
Two jailors with sticks in their hands walked in, and the jailer beside her quickly controlled her hands.
Lu Ning struggled hard and almost broke free several times.
Suddenly, the backs of her knees felt weak, as she was kicked hard by the jailer behind her.
She fell to her knees on the ground, and then she panicked. The two jailers beside her saw the opportunity and inserted her slender fingers into the clamping sticks.
Magistrate Cai looked down at Lu Ning and sneered: "As long as you truthfully recruit the people from the caravan, you won't have to suffer this punishment, otherwise, ten of your fingers will be broken off!"
Lu Ning raised his head, glared at him, and cursed: "Didn't we agree that as long as I am willing to be bound, you will let the caravan go? Since I'm here, what else are you going to do with them?"
Magistrate Cai laughed loudly and said: "I have never said such a thing. What others have said is beyond my control! You'd better think carefully about whether to confess! Otherwise..."
"Bah." Lu Ning spat on Magistrate Cai's face and said bitterly: "Guan Gu, I knew you were a person who broke your promise! To tell you the truth, I gave them orders before I came. After I left,
You need to leave Lingzhou quickly. Now that they have gone their separate ways, it is impossible for you to find them again!"
Magistrate Cai's face sank and he said coldly: "Take it!"
The guards on both sides immediately tightened the ropes holding the sticks, and a heartbreaking pain suddenly passed through his fingers. Lu Ning screamed "Ah", and cold sweat suddenly ran down his forehead.
When Magistrate Cai saw Lu Ning's beautiful face faded and frail, he suddenly fell in love with her.
He knelt down and said quietly: "My wife is so pretty and charming, why don't you recruit her from the real side? I will definitely spare your life, as long as you are willing."
Serve me well!"
With that said, he reached out his hand to touch Lu Ning's cheek again.
Lu Ning raised his heart, saw the right moment, lowered his head and bit down, biting the two fingers of his right hand till blood dripped and penetrated deep into the phalanges, but he refused to let go.
Magistrate Cai was so painful that he was sweating profusely and shouted loudly: "Quick, quick! Let her go!"
The officials on both sides tightened the rope again, and there was only a "click" sound, and two fingers were pinched off. Lu Ning groaned in pain and finally released his teeth.
Magistrate Cai quickly withdrew his bleeding hand and shouted angrily: "Put her legs on the sticks. Let's see how long she can stay strong!"
As soon as she finished speaking, two government officials rushed in with two three-foot-long clamping sticks and quickly clamped her legs.
Magistrate Cai shouted loudly and said the word "take it", and the government officials on both sides pulled back their strength. He felt that the muscles and bones in his legs were broken, and Lu Ning's eyesight went dark and he fainted.
Magistrate Cai twirled his beard and looked at the unconscious woman on the ground with a gloomy look. He laughed evilly and winked to the left and right. The jailer brought two buckets of water and poured one bucket over his head.
Lu Ning coughed a few times and woke up immediately. As soon as she stood up, another bucket of water fell down, drenching her from the inside out.
The bone-chilling chill made her huddle on the ground and tremble, while her eyes glared at Magistrate Cai fiercely.
Magistrate Cai smiled coldly and asked, "Do you want to do it or not?"
Lu Ning gritted his teeth and endured it, sneering: "I've said everything that needs to be said, what else do you want me to do?"
Seeing her being so stubborn, Magistrate Cai became even more angry and shouted loudly: "What else do you know? Where are the people from the caravan hiding?"
Under the severe pain, Lu Ning's body couldn't help shaking, but he still gritted his teeth: "I... don't know anything!"
Her tough attitude completely angered Magistrate Cai and he became furious.
He pointed at Lu Ning's face and shouted at the top of his lungs: "It seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin! Someone, please give me a severe punishment!"
As soon as the words fell, several jailers immediately turned around and ran out.
Lu Ning knew that her life was at stake, so she stopped struggling. She lay on the cold ground and closed her eyes peacefully, with only the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.
Magistrate Cai saw that instead of being afraid, she was looking forward to death, and he couldn't help but become even more angry.
After being a prefect for so many years, he knew that the most difficult thing to deal with was the tough guy who refused to take the hard way.
I just didn't expect that the tough guy I was going to face was a pretty girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.
This made him feel provoked.
However, as soon as he thought about it, a sinister smile appeared on his face.
He walked up to Lu Ning, looked down at her arrogantly, and smiled sinisterly: "I know that you people in the world are least afraid of death. I must be punishing you as a heroine.
, are not even worth mentioning!"
Lu Ning smiled contemptuously, then closed his eyes again, unable to pay attention to him.
"However, you are a little girl like a flower after all. If your innocence was ruined, would you still be so calm?"
Magistrate Cai's words made Lu Ning open his eyes suddenly. Looking at the smiling jailers on both sides, he immediately realized that something was wrong and couldn't help but feel shocked and angry.
Magistrate Cai has always done many evil things and used all possible means. He is the best at torturing prisoners and knows their true weaknesses best.
As expected, Lu Ning, who had been looking forward to death just now, finally panicked.
Ignoring the pain, she moved back, glared at Magistrate Cai and cursed loudly: "Despicable bitch! Kill him if you want, and don't use such despicable methods! I would rather die than let you succeed!"
But Magistrate Cai twirled his beard, raised his head and laughed wildly: "Are you afraid now? I'm afraid you can't live or die now. You have to let a few of my subordinates try to be romantic and happy first!"
Although Lu Ning was highly skilled in martial arts, she was still a young girl. When she heard what he said, she was so frightened that she burst into tears and turned pale with anger.
With tears in her eyes, she bit her lower lip and glared at Magistrate Cai angrily, but she had already made up her mind.
:
Even though all his limbs are broken, he must fight them to the end. If he is unable to defeat them, he bites his tongue and commits suicide, and he will never let them humiliate him!
Magistrate Cai looked at Lu Ning proudly and waved slowly.
A jailer rushed forward impatiently and reached out to grab the skirt of her clothes. Lu Ning couldn't move his fingers, so he could only lift his knee suddenly and hit the jailer in the lower abdomen.
The jailer immediately howled in pain, clutched his lower abdomen with both hands, and rolled to the side.
When the two jailers next to him saw that he was being plotted against, they were furious. They cursed loudly and rushed towards him.
The two of them were smart, one came up and held down her legs, while the other grabbed her clothes.
Lu Ning saw the right moment and struck back hard with his elbow, hitting the key point on the jailer's chest.
Her strength was so great that before the jailer who bullied her could even grunt, he fell to the ground and passed out.
These two impacts, on normal days, would have been effortless for her.
But at this moment, her whole body was soaked, her limbs were useless, she was panting from exhaustion, her head was covered in cold sweat, and she almost collapsed.
Seeing how brave this seemingly frail little girl was, all the jailers hesitated for a while, not daring to get close.
Magistrate Cai was extremely angry and cursed: "You guys are useless, can't you even control such a disabled woman? If you don't pounce on her together and hold her hands and feet down, let's see how she can fight back?"
When everyone heard the sound, they cheered up again and immediately rushed forward.
The two held down Lu Ning's arms, the other pressed down on her legs, and quickly restrained her.
Lu Ning couldn't break free, he was anxious and angry, his heart was frightened, and a string of tears fell.
Magistrate Cai let out a long laugh and said viciously: "A pretty little girl is here, why don't you do something quickly?"
A jailer next to him immediately grabbed him and took off his belt while staring at Lu Ning with a smile.
Lu Ning was despairing at this time, thinking: I am afraid that I will not survive! I will not be able to see my brother and adoptive father again! I have no choice but to see him again in the next life!
She screamed desperately and opened her mouth to bite the base of her tongue.
Magistrate Cai shouted: "Pull her mouth, don't let her bite her tongue and commit suicide. We must not give her any advantage!"
The jailer who tied her hands grabbed her jaw and stopped her in time.
Lu Ning couldn't get away, and seeing the jailer in front of him about to bully him, he couldn't help feeling cold and howling in pain...
In an instant, a horrified roar sounded outside the cell: "Stop! What are you doing?"
Everyone was startled suddenly and looked back.
They saw two men in white clothes standing outside the iron fence, glaring at them angrily.
Magistrate Cai turned his head angrily, but exclaimed: "Yulou? Why are you here?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the jailers immediately let go of Lu Ning.
Lu Ning breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was in knots and he couldn't help but lie on the ground and cry.
A jailer walked over and took out a big iron key and opened the iron door.
Two men ran in and one of them rushed over to pick up the woman on the ground: "Little deer! Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Lu Ning slowly opened his eyes and saw a handsome and beautiful face in front of him. He couldn't help but swallowed: "Xiao Qi? Why are you here?"
After not seeing each other for a few days, Hu Qi suddenly felt heartbroken when he saw the once beautiful girl in such a miserable state.
