Xu Qian and Xu Jia waited at the door for a long time and finally arrived at Sun Qi.
"Master Sun, Master Sun!"
As soon as Sun Qi got off the sedan chair, Xu Qian stepped forward, nodded and bowed in salute: "Master Sun, do you still remember the common people?"
Sun Qi looked at it twice and said with a smile: "How could you not remember? This is not Boss Xu, the shopkeeper of Xu's shop!"
"Master Sun has a really good memory." Xu Qian smiled humbly.
Xu's shop is also well-known in Kyoto, covering various categories such as banks, tea, bird's nests, gold and silver, inns, groceries, etc., and is very famous in Kyoto.
When the county magistrate was here before, Xu Qian often came to the county office, and of course Sun Qi remembered it.
He also received gifts from Xu Qian, but not as much as the county magistrate.
Sun Qi pretended to be confused: "Boss Xu, do you have something to do with me?"
Xu Qian smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Sun will be promoted soon, so the common people came to congratulate Mr. Sun."
He pointed at the carriage behind him, then approached Sun Qi, using his wide sleeves to block other people's sight, he took out five banknotes prepared in advance from his sleeves: "My lord, you will be promoted in the future, but you must not Forget about the grassroots and pay more attention to the business of the grassroots.”
Sun Qi glanced down and flipped through it quickly.
Five silver notes, each worth two thousand taels, totaling ten thousand taels.
"There are some things from the shop on the carriage. I hope Mr. Sun will accept them."
Sun Qi smiled and stuffed the banknote into his sleeve, "I don't want the things anymore. Thank you, Boss Xu. I still have something to do in the yamen. Boss Xu, please excuse me." He left quickly and entered the yamen. Xu Qian was in the background. I can't even chase him.
"Master Sun, Master Sun, my daughter is here to apply for household registration today..."
"Bang!" The door was closed tightly, and the heavy door almost hit Xu Qian's nose.
Sun Qi didn't even let him ask.
"Father, he is not here for money," Xu Jia said.
Xu Qian nodded: "This county magistrate has been away for so long, and it has not been his turn to be promoted. But now, there is news that he is going to be promoted to county magistrate. It should be that someone is paving the way for him."
Therefore, Sun Qicai will not care about those things, because with power, money will come.
Xu Jia said: "The only one who can pave the way for him and have a grudge against Aning is Cui Yunfeng, and the only one who has Cui Yunfeng's back is Duke Wei."
Xu Qian's eyes turned red with anger: "They are trying to kill Aning!"
Why doesn't that scumbag die?
The Duke of Wei's residence in the capital was a noble family with deep roots and luxuriant roots. The small Xu family simply could not compete with it. Even if Xu Qian roped in the petty officials he knew, they would not dare to Not even going to fight against Duke Wei.
Can we just wait to die?
cannot!
Xu Jia thought of a person. He got on his horse and tightened the rope, "Father, I'm going to find someone. He should be able to save Aning."
After he finished speaking, he raised his whip and the horse galloped away.
In the cell.
Chen Wang looked at Cui Yunfeng and finally understood.
Any household registration that cannot be applied for is all a lie, and Cui Yunfeng is behind it.
"You did it, what do you want to do?" Chen Wang approached the door and asked Cui Yunfeng fiercely.
Cui Yunfeng's face was ferocious: "What are you doing? Of course you want Xu Wanning's life. Come here, pull her out. I will skin her and twitch her tendons myself."
The cell door was opened, and two servants rushed to Xu Wanning's side.
Chang'an was so frightened that she cried loudly and hugged Xu Wanning without letting go: "Don't touch my mother, no."
Xu Wanning hugged Chang'an: "Follow Chen Wang, mother will be fine! Chen Wang, take care of Chang'an. I will be back soon."
She followed the two servants out of the cell.
"No!" Chang'an cried and shouted, Xu Wanning turned around and smiled at him, waved her hands, and moved her lips as if to say.
Son, don't be afraid.
Chen Wang hugged Chang An, looked at the direction Xu Wanning left, and comforted: "Young Master, don't cry, Miss, she will be fine!"
Cui Yunfeng brought Xu Wanning into a room.
There are some strange things in the house.
"Xu Wanning, are you afraid?" Cui Yunfeng asked hypocritically.
Xu Wanning glanced at Cui Yunfeng with disdain: "What are you afraid of? There is nothing to be afraid of."
Cui Yunfeng burst out laughing after hearing this answer. After laughing, tears came out. He pointed at the strange things in the room and said, "Xu Wanning, you don't know what this is. I specially prepared this for you." What a surprise!”
He introduced them to Xu Wanning in the same way.
"This name is Fairy Presenting Fruit." Cui Yunfeng smiled gloomily: "Don't think this name sounds nice, but it's uncomfortable. You have to kneel on this ground full of tiles, holding the board, and I will keep placing it on the board. If you put something in there, the tiles will dig into your knees and it will hurt.”
Cui Yunfeng laughed maniacally, and went to introduce the second torture instrument: "There is also this one, called Phoenix Wings. I will tie you to it and fold your arm over. It can range from dislocation to bone fracture. Don't worry. He won’t die, but his bones will be broken.”
"Here, ask Jade Girl to climb the ladder. I'll take off your clothes and put this iron lock around your neck. You climb up and up. If you accidentally fall down, I'm sorry, there is a sharp bamboo on your head. It will kill you!"
The more Cui Yunfeng spoke, the more proud he became, and the more ferocious he spoke: "These three treasures of mine are all prepared for you. Xu Wanning, am I careful?"
Xu Wanning looked at Cui Yunfeng, feeling no fear at all: "You really took the trouble."
"As a couple, that's right." Cui Yunfeng was a little happy, but also a little confused: "Which one do you think is better to use first?"
Cui Yunfeng picked and picked, just like picking items at a stall, and finally picked a chain.
That's the instrument of torture inside the Jade Girl's Ladder.
Cui Yunfeng played with it and said, "Just use this." When he thought of Xu Wanning being stripped naked and punished, Cui Yunfeng felt happy and looked at the two servants on the side: "I'll give it to you for fun first."
If he doesn't lift it, just watch.
Xu Wanning saw what he was thinking, and two servants came over. Xu Wanning suddenly raised her hand, and a ball of powder floated in the wind, catching the eyes of the two servants.
It was a blindness powder made by Xu Jia. It could cause severe pain in the eyes, make people shed tears, and then lead to blindness. This blindness is only temporary and can be recovered after an hour.
But this moment is Xu Wanning's best chance to save herself.
The two servants couldn't see, and they were yelling like blind men, so loud that their eardrums were about to burst. Cui Yunfeng was uneasy and shouted: "Shut up, shut up."
The roar could no longer be heard, and only Cui Yunfeng's curses were left in the room: "You bitch, what else do you have, use it all!"
Xu Wanning clenched her fists and slowly approached him.
Cui Yunfeng was afraid and hurriedly backed away, "Don't come over, don't come over!"
He really showed his greed for life and fear of death.
