Chapter 57 Chapter 8: An Abandoned Son

In the dark and damp dungeon, not a single ray of sunlight came in, and it was as quiet as a place of death, with no human voices heard. On the dirty and dark instruments of torture, there are traces of mottled dark red blood, and every place is shocking. In the middle of the dungeon was bound a man.Because of the torture, none of the clothes on her body were intact, and the blood-stained clothes hung scatteredly on her body like rags torn maliciously.Her hair was disheveled and scattered above the face, making it difficult to see her face clearly. She was quietly tied to the cross in the torture room of the dungeon, lifeless, as if she had been dead for a long time.

Footsteps sounded in the depths of this gloomy dungeon. Accompanied by the frightening footsteps, there were lanterns swaying and fluttering like will-o'-the-wisps. In this gloomy dungeon, there was a faint blue light. . There were three people who came, one was a young man in fine clothes, the other was a tall man with a strange mask on his face, and the third was a young man dressed as a servant with a lantern leading the way. The three of them filed into the torture room of the dungeon, which was filled with instruments of torture, and the air exuded a sense of decay and death.The young man in Huafu looked up at the human-shaped object placed in the center of the execution room, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He leaned forward slowly, and brushed aside the messy hair on the woman's forehead in disgust, revealing The pale face of the woman.The whole face was covered with horrific wounds, it seemed that someone carved new wounds hard before the old wounds healed. In short, this woman's face was completely destroyed, which made people distinguish I can't figure out what her original appearance should be like.

The son, who was dressed in fine clothes and was full of aura of wealth and nobility, said the words so coldly that people could not help trembling, "Wake her up!" The boy holding the lantern immediately put down the lantern obediently, raised a bucket of water beside him, and poured it on the woman covering his head and face.The bucket of cold water was poured down, and in this deep winter night, one couldn't help shivering just thinking about it, but the scarred woman didn't move at all, and her head was still half-drowned as if she was dead.Water droplets flowed down her neck, passed through the wound on her body, and slid down to her feet.

The young man in Huafu watched the cold water slide down her wound, and there was a cruel light in his eyes. He waited indifferently for a long while, and sure enough, the groans as thin as mosquitoes began to overflow from the mouth of the tortured woman intermittently. Extremely soft, with a kind of deep depression and patience. The gentleman in Huafu grabbed the woman's chin and mocked coldly: "How is it? How does the ice salt water taste?" The woman didn't make a sound as if she was dead, but slowly opened her eyes that had been closed all the time. She looked at the handsome man in front of her who was grinning ferociously, with a flash of contempt in her eyes.

Her voice was a bit rough, with a hoarseness from a vocal cord injury, "Is that all? It's been four months, and you have come to torture me every day, but have you got what you want?" Her tone was very calm, with almost no ups and downs, but Mr. Huafu could hear the sarcasm from it. He suddenly squeezed her chin tightly, with such strength that he almost crushed her jawbone.She frowned in pain, but gritted her teeth and said nothing.Wisps of blood seeped out from the corner of her mouth, slowly pooled, and flowed on the hand of Mr. Huafu, warm and fresh blood...it was the blood of a living person...

His pupils shrank suddenly, and he let go of the palms that held her as if they had been burned by a raging flame. He pulled the skirt of the young man who was carrying the bucket in disgust, rubbed it quickly, and said with a sneer: "As expected, it is Li Fengyuan." The daughter of an old man who doesn't know how to praise, is as hard-boned as him..." He circled around the wooden frame where the woman was tied, and said again: "Since you refuse to say anything, it's useless to keep you... But before that..." He stopped suddenly, raised his hand to grab the skirt of the woman's chest, and pulled it hard, the rags that were already dilapidated due to the torture were torn apart, and the woman's body was exposed to the air.The originally fair body is now covered with countless scars, which is unbearable to watch.The boy carrying the bucket turned his body slightly unbearably, not daring to look at the woman's hideous scars all over her body. Under her pale face, her chest heaved sharply, as if she wanted to vomit.

The woman's body trembled even more, she seemed to be unable to bear such embarrassment, she was trembling almost from the tip of her hair to her heels.She tried her best to control her emotions, and said coldly: "I didn't expect a 'eunuch' to be so interested in a woman's body, it's really hilarious!" The person who originally wanted to humiliate the other party was humiliated in turn, what would happen?It is conceivable that he must be furious. Mr. Huafu narrowed his eyes suddenly, and after a while he smiled coldly and said: "I don't know if my subordinates are interested in your dilapidated body?"

The woman's body froze, and she smiled miserably after a while, "You'd better kill me, or you will regret it in the future! As long as I don't die, as long as I'm still alive, I will definitely come back to you, and I will definitely take revenge! No ...Even if I die, I will turn into a ghost and seek your life..." "Death?" He smiled grimly, "You will never have such a chance! Do I look like the kind of person who leaves troubles for himself?" He snorted, pointing at the The tall man with the ghost mask asked, "Mage?" The voice of the ghost-faced mage is chilling, like a ghostly night song, "After this girl dies, her bones and flesh must be removed, the town charm will be carved into her bones, and the flesh and blood will be melted away with a curse, so that her soul cannot be gathered together. Even if she wants to be reincarnated, it will be difficult for her to reach the sky. Revenge? What will she do with her lonely soul then? Haha..."

Mr. Huafu smiled coldly when he heard the words, turned his head to look at the woman and said, "Can you hear me clearly? Do you want to talk now?" The woman's body trembled uncontrollably, but the words she said were still firm, "Idiots talking about dreams!" Mr. Huafu seemed to have finally exhausted his patience, "How sure are you of what the mage just said?" The ghost-faced man laughed strangely and said, "Nothing will go wrong!" Mr. Huafu looked at the woman and smiled strangely: "Then don't do it yet, send Miss Li on her way."

A waning moon was in the sky outside the window, and for some reason it looked extraordinarily bleak. The surroundings of the moon seemed to be filled with layers of blood mist, making the supposedly bright moon look like a ball of blood thrown into the blood. Like the moon, the forest is heavy... "Ah..." Zhao Ning woke up in a cold sweat. I don't know why he dreamed about that thing that happened a long time ago...every detail in the dream is vivid in his mind. After that, the woman later...it was terrible Yes, it's really terrible, I don't want to think about it, I don't want to think about it...

"Zhao Du Censor, you're awake again." That terrifying strange voice sounded again. Zhao Ning smiled wryly.The nightmare in the dream will eventually wake up, but the nightmare in reality continues.He didn't leave this ghost place because he passed out, he still stayed in this ghost place, and this knowledge made him despair. "What do you want to do? What do you want to know after trapping me here?" The man in black looked down at Zhao Ning who was slumped on the ground, then slowly shook his head and said, "First, I didn't intend to trap you, I kept you here to save you, if You can leave whenever you want, and I will never stop you; second, I don’t want to know anything from you. On the contrary, I hope to tell Zhao Du Yushi some facts and truths, so that you can understand how dangerous you are walking in. On the way, what a terrible person you are following..." Zhao Ning suddenly picked up the candlestick on the ground and stood up slowly, trying to avoid the man in black. "Zhao Du Yushi." "Didn't you just say that as long as I want to leave, I can leave at any time?" Zhao Ning asked angrily. "Hehe." The black-robed man turned around and looked at Zhao Ning, "Zhao Du Censor, you are still very young, you must not want to die, right? You have become a fourth-rank official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate at such a young age. I can't bear to die. Countless people in this court envy you, countless people envy you, do you think they won't secretly speculate and discuss why you can sit in this position?" Zhao Ning's shoulders trembled when he heard this, and he almost couldn't stand upright. "Yes, it is true that a person with great power can erase many things without leaving a trace. For example, who was Zhao Du Yushi before he took the position of Du Yushi? What was his identity? What background? Why did he sit in the position? This position? What did he pay for? What did he go through..." "Enough! Don't say any more, don't say any more!" Zhao Ning screamed in pain, covering his head with both hands, "I don't know anything, I can't say anything!" "You are deceiving yourself, Zhao Du Censor." The man in black smiled mockingly, "The tattoo on the broken hand, Zhao Du Censor should know it? It is the symbol of the dead men trained by the Yan family, right? ?Yan Shifan has already attacked you, he sent a dead man to kill you, what about you? Believe his so-called nonsense, wait for someone to kill you, and naively think that the other party just wants you to bleed a little bit. Ha ha, This is really absurd... Do you think that if you don't say anything, the national teacher can't do anything to you? There are so many secrets in Yan Shifan, and if you don't want to tell them, I don't think others may be... Yan Shifan is the most indispensable It's a good friend." "Are you, are you the new national teacher?" Zhao Ning widened his eyes in horror. This national teacher seemed to know everything, so scary. "Hehe, it seems that the censor of Zhao Du has never met his own national teacher. It's okay, Zhao Du's censor is sick at home and recuperating at home. I don't know if he didn't go to court, but..." The black-robed national teacher changed the subject, "It must be about my country. Zhao Du Censor has also heard the rumors about the master, and with the current status of the national teacher in front of the emperor, Zhao Du Censor thinks who ordered you to be brought here for interrogation?" It's... Your Majesty... Zhao Ning felt his heart start to cool down.
