On a June day, Jiang Shu felt like she had fallen into an ice cave, her body and mind were cold, and her pretty face was as pale as paper.
Yu Zheng led her out of the prison and bathed in the warm sun. Jiang Shu felt gradually getting warmer.
Knowing that she was in a bad mood, Yu Zheng took her to the hall to sit down and had her served hot tea.
Jiang Shu held the teacup in both hands and took a sip.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, she broke into a thin layer of sweat, but felt extremely comfortable.
After waiting for about an hour, Sun Hechuan came back, and Lord He followed him cautiously.
"Your Majesty, Jiang Shao and his wife ran away." Sun Hechuan raised his eyebrows heavily.
Yu Zheng raised his dark eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and his voice was as cold as winter ice: "Run away?"
"My lord, please forgive me. This matter is due to the negligence of this subordinate." Mr. He knelt down in fear and explained the reason.
A few days ago, Jiang Shao and his wife went to Jiang's house to cause trouble. Master He gave them two days to bury Jiang Yun as Jiang Shu said.
But two days later, he sent someone to pick up someone from Jiang's house, only to find that the house was empty. Upon inquiring, I learned that Jiang Shaohe sold his shop and property and quietly left Shangjing.
Master He immediately sent people to chase after learning about it, but Jiang Shaohe and his wife had been running for more than half a day, and they didn't know where they were going, and where they could still catch up.
Although Mr. He was furious afterwards, he thought that what Jiang Shaohe and his wife committed was not a big deal and it was not worth spending manpower and material resources to pursue, so he gave up.
But who would have thought that Sun Hechuan would also go to get someone today, saying that Jiang Shaohe had committed a major crime.
Only then did Mr. He realize that he had made a big mistake due to his negligence.
After hearing the whole story, Jiang Shu looked at the frightened Master He, frowned and said: "Master He is not to blame for this matter. It was my command, Master He, who gave them two days to give them a chance to escape."
At that time, Jiang Shu didn't know what Jiang Shaohe had done, but he just asked them to go back and bury Jiang Yun for the sake of blood relations.
Looking at Jiang Shu who blamed himself and felt sad, Yu Zheng understood that she was kind-hearted and had a soft heart. First she gave Jiang Shaohe two days, but now she was afraid that he would punish Mr. He.
How could he not understand her thoughts?
"Where's Jiang Shaohua?" Yu Zheng asked.
Sun Hechuan said: "He has also been selling off his shop and property recently, but he is not as anxious as Jiang Shaohe. He was one step behind and has been arrested and imprisoned."
Yu Zheng stood up, walked to Jiang Shu and said slowly: "If you don't want to go to prison anymore, just wait for me here."
Jiang Shu shook his head: "I'll go."
She wanted to ask Jiang Shaohua herself why they wanted to harm her father when her father treated them so well.
The group of people went to the prison again, and it was still the interrogation room from before. The bandit was given painkillers and then tied to the stake. Jiang Shaohua was tied next to him, not far away from each other.
The moment he saw the bandits, Jiang Shaohua's eyes widened in shock, his face full of disbelief.
"Aren't you far away in Qi County? How could you be arrested and brought to Beijing?"
The bandit yawned and said, "It's hard to get into trouble. I guess it's all thanks to you."
After finishing speaking, the bandit nuzzled his lips in Jiang Shu's direction.
The light in the prison was dim and Jiang Shu sat behind Yu Zheng again, but Jiang Shaohua didn't notice. After receiving the bandit's signal, Jiang Shaohua saw Jiang Shu.
Suddenly Jiang Shaohua's eyes sharpened, full of resentment.
Yu Zheng's dark eyes darkened when he saw this, and he ordered: "I will be punished."
"Yes." The jailer took the order and stepped forward with the whip he had used to whip the bandits.
The bandits knew very well what that whip felt like, and they watched the show with joy.
After two whips were struck, Jiang Shaohua grinned in pain and said urgently: "I'll attack, I'll attack!"
"What are you recruiting? I didn't ask." Yu Zheng motioned to the jailer to continue.
"Ah! Ah!" One whip after another, the whip broke the skin and caused blood. The spicy oil on the whip penetrated into the broken skin and flesh. Jiang Shaohua was in pain and shook like chaff.
"I say, I say, whatever you ask me, I say!" Jiang Shaohua looked at Yu Zheng pleadingly, hoping that he would ask quickly.
Yu Zheng slowly tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers, and said with a leisurely expression: "I am not in a hurry. I will ask you again after thirty lashes."
According to this method of lashing, will he die of pain after thirty lashes?
Jiang Shaohua was horrified and gritted his teeth and said urgently: "Together with Jiang Shaohe, I bribed the bandits twice to murder Jiang Shaodong and Jiang Shu."
The whip did not stop and continued to hit Jiang Shaohua.
After screaming and taking a breath, Jiang Shaohua added: "The bandit next to me was the one who collected the money at that time."
The bandit was amused and said: "This is the first time I see someone so eager to confess. What a weakling."
Jiang Shaohua was sweating profusely in pain and had no time to pay attention to the bandit. He looked at Yu Zheng and begged for mercy.
Yu Zheng was unmoved and insisted on letting the jailer give him a full thirty lashes.
Jiang Shaohua, who was idle and idle, could not resist. He rolled his eyes and passed out.
"Wake up." Sun Hechuan ordered.
After a bucket of ice water was poured down, Jiang Shaohua was forced to wake up and gasped in pain.
He looked at Yu Zheng and said feebly: "I have already recruited him, what else do you want to ask, Your Majesty?"
As long as he doesn't use torture anymore, he can do whatever he wants.
Either way, he would die, and he really didn't want to suffer any more.
"Where did Jiang Shaohe go?" Yu Zheng asked coldly.
Jiang Shaohua was startled when he heard this, and he hesitated and did not answer immediately.
Yu Zheng raised his hand, and the jailer approached him with two jars.
Sun Hechuan said from the side: "There is honey in one jar. Apply it on the wound, and then put the ants in the other jar on top, and let them suck your skin and flesh along the honey. The ants will eat your heart, and the taste will be the same. Absolutely."
Seeing that the jailer had opened the jar, Jiang Shaohua's scalp was numb and he hurriedly said: "He didn't say where exactly he was going, he just said to go west."
The jailer put the lid back on the jar in disappointment. Jiang Shaohua breathed a sigh of relief and gasped violently.
After Yu Zheng finished asking, he looked sideways at Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu understood, stood up, walked to Jiang Shaohua and asked, "Uncle, my father and you are even brothers and sisters, from the same mother. Why do you want to harm him?"
"Hmph, if he really regarded us as his biological brothers, he wouldn't have been guarding us for so many years and only gave us small favors." Jiang Shaohua's face was full of resentment.
Facing Jiang Shu, Jiang Shaohua showed his true nature without fear.
Jiang Shu's breath was suffocated, and he felt a tightness in his chest.
The revenue from ten shops was enough for their family to live comfortably, but he actually said it was a small favor?
"Even now, you still don't regret your mistake?" Jiang Shu's eyes were full of disappointment.
Jiang Shaohua said bitterly: "Of course I regret it. I regret that the person I found was unreliable and kept you and your daughter alive. I regret that the third child didn't take it seriously when he informed me. I was caught by you when I was running slow."
When rice rises, kindness fights against rice and hatred, and people's hearts are not as strong as snakes swallowing elephants.
Jiang Shu didn't ask any more questions, turned around and left.
Yu Zheng and others got up and left the prison.
After they left, the bandits and Jiang Shaohua quarreled in prison.
"It's really useless." The bandit looked at Jiang Shaohua and sneered.
Jiang Shaohua had suppressed his anger and had nowhere to vent his anger. He glared at the bandit angrily and said: "I took the money but failed to accomplish anything, and even turned out my employer. How dare you say that I am useless, you shameless villain. Bah." !”
Jiang Shaohua was so angry that he spat at the bandit.
When the bandit heard this, he laughed angrily: "My brothers and nieces have been harmed, but you still have the fucking nerve to call me a shameless villain. Damn you."
After saying this, the bandit spit an even bigger mouthful of spit into Jiang Shaohua's face.
Jiang Shaohua was choked and speechless. He stared angrily at the bandit who was laughing at him, and passed away without even breathing.
