In a grand manor on the outskirts of Tianyun City.
In a wing in the northwest corner, Lao Dai and Ming Zhiyuan have been staying there for three days.
Lao Dai was severely beaten and injured, and he was also given cartilage powder that made him lose all his power. The drug was so violent that he now has trouble even turning over.
Ming Zhiyuan was powerless, so no one thought enough to drug him.
Lao Dai was lying on the wooden bed against the wall. He was very weak. He blamed himself quietly and said: "It's all my fault. I caused trouble and brought trouble to my distant brother."
Ming Zhiyuan looked a little relaxed and not so nervous:
"It doesn't matter, let's make peace with it now. Tianyun City is also under the rule of Yu Huo, so they don't dare to go too far.
I guess it’s the matter with brother’s previous escort trip. Since the escort has been lost and compensation has been paid, it should be nothing serious.”
After hearing this, Lao Dai hesitated. After all, Ming Zhiyuan is a young master. He has never experienced any darkness, wind and rain, so he is still immature. I am afraid this matter is not as simple as just losing the escort.
In fact, Ming Zhiyuan was so panicked that it had been three days since he was arrested here.
No one came to ask questions in the past three days, and three meals a day were delivered on time, as well as Lao Dai's healing decoction.
There was also a servant taking care of Lao Dai, but he couldn't leave the door. Several people with strange auras around the house were watching eagerly.
According to Lao Dai, the two guards at the door may also be fifth-grade warriors.
What is going on? Ming Zhiyuan has lived a comfortable life in this other world for too long, and his mind has become a little slow.
But when the crisis suddenly struck, he finally washed away his previous decadent thinking and started thinking quickly.
In the past three days, he thought carefully and became more and more certain that there must be something important but shady among the escorts that Lao Dai escorted.
Although the escort items were lost, the other party was not sure whether Lao Dai colluded with his accomplices to guard the theft, or whether he knew about the shady items. Therefore, Lao Dai's escape was a worry for the other party.
But it has been three days since the two of them arrived here, and the rich old boss didn't seem to be in a hurry to see Lao Dai.
The other party acted so strangely and unnaturally that it made people confused.
At this moment, Ming Zhiyuan envied Leng Wushuang from the bottom of his heart. Every time something happened, this guy was there.
But nothing happens to him every time. This is the kind of luck the protagonist should have.
Now we can only hope that after Leng Wushuang goes back to inform his family, his father can burst out with some energy.
But a wealthy family that has a fifth-grade master as its housekeeper is obviously not in the same weight class as the Ming Dynasty. This is really scary.
In the most prosperous street in Tianyun City, in a yard behind Fuli Commercial Bank.
An old man about sixty years old with a yellowish complexion, wearing a crimson loose robe. His back looks a little rickety.
At this moment, he was holding a wooden bucket in one hand and a wooden spoon in the other, carefully watering several rare-looking plants planted in the yard.
A manager-looking man next to him bowed and was reporting to the old man the reactions of Lao Dai and Ming Zhiyuan at the manor in the past few days.
The old man listened silently and said nothing. He finally finished watering a few plants.
He put down the barrel and threw the wooden spoon into the barrel. He turned around and walked to a pomegranate tree. There was a lounge chair and a small wooden table under the tree.
At this time, a maid brought in a cup of steaming hot tea and placed it on the small table.
The old man lay down on the couch and pointed at the cup of tea: "This is for you."
The man who looked like a butler had a look of ecstasy on his face when he heard this, his eyes were full of gratitude, and he bowed respectfully: "Liu Jiu, thank you for the reward from my employer."
After saying this, he picked up the tea cup and drank the still steaming tea in one gulp.
After Liu Jiu finished drinking the tea, he raised his hands and was about to say something. Suddenly he was stunned. His face turned red suddenly, and then he said: "Please forgive me, boss."
The old man glanced at him and waved his hand. Liu Jiu immediately sat down on the ground, clasped his hands, and started practicing.
The old man was lying quietly on the recliner, gently stroking the handle of the recliner with one hand. He seemed to be thinking about something, his eyes were solemn.
When Liu Jiu had practiced the skill of about two cups of tea, he saw mist starting to come out of his head, and the mist became thicker and thicker. Finally, the steam was rising, just like when steaming steamed buns in a steamer and removing the pot.
.
Not long after, his face turned from white to red, then to white again. After repeating this several times, he finally let out a breath, opened his eyes, stood up again, and bowed again:
"Liu Jiu has been promoted to the fifth rank, all thanks to the great kindness of his employer."
The old man seemed to be gratified: "Well, not bad, I have finally caught up with your brother. The next step is the fourth grade. You two brothers work well, the rich family and Prince Ning will not treat you badly."
Liu Jiu lowered his head and said, "Yes, the two brothers Liu Jiu are where they are today because of the gift from their rich old employer. My two brothers will never forget it."
The old man nodded with satisfaction: "Not only the rich family, but also Prince Ning, you must remember it." Liu Jiu said: "Yes, Liu Jiu has remembered it, and Prince Ning."
The old man nodded again and said: "Bring that escort and that dude here, it's time to ask."
Liu Jiudao: "Yes. I will bring them over now."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the yard.
At this time, a middle-aged man, about forty years old, slowly walked out of the wing on the right side of the small courtyard.
Wearing a black robe, he was extremely thin, and his face was covered with scars. It seemed that someone had cut them out with a knife on his face, and he looked extremely ferocious.
The scar-faced man said, "Master Fu is so sincere to Prince Ning."
The voice was as harsh and abrupt as two sharp knives cutting each other, and it was extremely unpleasant to hear.
But the rich old boss didn't care, and laughed: "Of course, my rich family swears to go through fire and water for Prince Ning, and everything in my rich family belongs to Prince Ning."
The scar-faced man stood still: "I must ask the escort later if he has seen that object? And whether the dude from the Ming family was enshrined after an encounter as we know. We have the basic situation of the Ming family.
We all know it. But it’s also possible that we only know what others want us to know.”
The rich old boss nodded: "Master Fu is here, so we don't have to worry about those two people not answering honestly." The scar-faced man said: "There are many mouths in this world that cannot be pried open. The so-called method can be pried open only by itself.
It’s a solution for those who talk.”
When the old boss Fu heard this, he asked strangely: "Is there really anyone who is not afraid of death, long-term torture, or what may happen to his family? I have always heard that not many people can survive the three criminal laws and the five criminal laws in the hands of Master Fu.
Come down, even gods and ghosts can speak. Master Fu, you must not be humble."
Master Fu smiled bitterly, and the scars on his face were twisted and fluttering: "I once met someone..."
"I used the saliva of Warcraft Lizard. You know, it is a kind of chronic corrosive water. Even if a drop of it splashes on a person, it will slowly make a big hole. There is no cure. I poured it on him little by little.
On the body."
"I tortured him like this for half a year. In the end, his whole body was still there except for his head and the main internal organs in his abdomen. Only the skeleton of his hands, feet and limbs was left. His chest was completely opened, and his bloody heart could be seen beating. Then I cut him alive.
Liver, lungs and kidneys. Use elixirs to keep him alive. Let him watch me clearly and watch what I do. He can also smile and mouth shapes and tell me to try harder."
The rich old boss was pricked by the scene he was talking about. He twisted uncomfortably on the recliner and said: This... is really a tough guy.
