I’ll Coax You
Old Chen was exasperated and glared at Jiang Yimian, disgruntled, “They two are one thing, but you also think I took it? How could I, an Old Man, fancy a Little Girl’s Gu Worm.”
Besides, if he really took it, he would have admitted it, but he didn’t even have time.
The more he thought about it, the more dissatisfied he became. He was so angry that he could barely breathe, and he pointed at them, ready to scold them.
Those two idiots were stupid together, how could the usually smartest Xiao Jiang also wrong him.
How could he, at his age, endure such anger?
Jiang Yimian saw that Old Chen was quite angry, his face full of grievance, which made her a little shaken. She quickly coughed lightly and said awkwardly, “Is there some Misunderstanding? Old Chen probably didn’t take it.
If he had taken it to refine medicine with that Nature of his, he definitely wouldn’t be able to resist showing off, how could he hold back for so long.
Liuer, why don’t you think again if the Gu Worm was put somewhere else by you? I’ll go take a look at the Dungeon.”
With that, she quickly turned and left the House, leaving this place of trouble.
It is said that even an honest official cannot settle a family quarrel, and she finally experienced it today.
No wonder many Magistrates and Officials in the Yamen turn gray in their hair and beard in middle age, having to solve this kind of thing every day, how can they not be annoyed?
At this time, in the dim Dungeon.
Lu Cijian stared at the dying person on the ground and said faintly, “Are you going to remain in Silence like this?”
The person on the ground didn’t speak, just glanced at him, then closed their eyes again, with an attitude of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.
Assistant Administrator Li said helplessly, “Lord Lu, he refuses to open his mouth no matter what, there is nothing we can do.”
Since Qi Shang was brought into the Dungeon, they have tried everything to get him to speak, but this person is like a mute, unwilling to say a word.
Seeing that if they continued to beat him, he would die, he could only call Lu Cijian.
Lu Cijian just signaled him to go down.
Assistant Administrator Li was stunned, hesitated for a while, and then respectfully retreated.
Jiang Yimian had just entered the Dungeon when she saw Assistant Administrator Li walking out. She was about to ask a few questions when she heard Qi Shang’s Ridicule, “What, you’re just an unwanted thing. Do you think that helping Xie Jingxuan will get you everything you want?
You’re dreaming. Xie Jingxuan is someone who could kill his own Brother at the age of ten. Even if you help him, you’ll still have to die in the end.
Duke Anguo let you return to the capital just so he can firmly hold onto the military power in his hands.
It’s useless for you to help them. As long as you have no Value, you will be kicked away.
Just like us dogs.”
Jiang Yimian frowned.
The next second, a miserable Scream resounded in the dim House.
Assistant Administrator Li was startled. Seeing Jiang Yimian wanting to go in, he quickly tried to Obstruct her, “Jiang Girl, they are interrogating a prisoner inside, you, you should wait a while before going in.”
That bloody scene was scary just looking at it.
If he hadn’t been on Lord Lu’s side from the beginning, he would probably be inside now.
Fortunately, over the years, he was not under Zhou Shiwen’s Influence and has been working cautiously in the Yamen.
Now, he can be considered to have escaped a disaster.
Jiang Yimian directly pushed the door open and walked in.
The light in the House was very dim, with only two Oil Lamps lit, barely illuminating the House.
Everywhere were all kinds of strange-shaped torture instruments, coupled with the Screams that sounded from time to time, only making this place even more gloomy and terrifying.
Assistant Administrator Li silently trembled three times on the side, and then looked at Jiang Yimian who wasn’t afraid at all.
He silently retreated, this place was not suitable for him.
Lu Cijian was sitting in the center of the torture chamber at the moment, sitting quietly, not saying a word, his expressionless face carrying absolute coldness, and the Atmosphere around him was very low.
Clearly, it was a handsome and Refined face, but it was inexplicably well-matched with such a gloomy place, without any sense of incongruity, as if he was already used to such scenes.
The Screams that came from the neighboring torture chamber from time to time only made the Yin and cold energy here even worse, but he seemed not to have heard it, still looking composed.
Qi Shang just laughed loudly. Even though the Whip fell on him again and again, he didn’t cry out, completely ignoring the Flesh Torn Wound on his body.
He just kept laughing until he spat out a lot of blood, and then he said weakly, “I, I was still wondering at first how Duke Anguo would get involved in this matter, but now I understand.
Duke Anguo wouldn’t care about you, an unwanted thing, hahaha, cough cough.
What, cough cough, did I hit a sore spot? Do you want to kill me now? Come on, kill me, kill me.”
Lu Cijian just said faintly, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you die. Since you don’t want to talk, then let’s slowly try out how useful the Yamen’s torture instruments are.”
Qi Shang was so angry that he cursed a few times, and the words he said became more and more excessive, and his whole person showed a state of madness.
The Guard on the side just whipped Qi Shang a few more times, until the person on the ground fainted again, Qi Shang did not say anything related to the Chu Prince.
That Guard respectfully said to Lu Cijian, “Lord Lu, he has fainted.”
Lu Cijian responded and stood up from the chair to walk outside, but he saw the person standing at the door at a glance.
He was stunned, but quickly walked over. The original gloomy face also had a bit of a Smile, “Why did you come here? It’s so dirty in here, go out first.”
Jiang Yimian said “Mm” and let Lu Cijian pull her out.
Outside the Dungeon was in the Yamen’s miscellaneous Courtyard.
It was empty all around, with not many people, only the occasional Screams from the Dungeon.
In this barren Courtyard, several miserable Screams sounded from time to time, and timid people would probably be scared and run away.
Jiang Yimian was unaware of anything else, only feeling that the temperature in the palm of her hand was particularly warm.
Clearly, he exuded a low Atmosphere, but his palm was very warm.
Jiang Yimian looked at the person next to her, the Youth’s face was obviously not very good. Although he showed a Smile when he saw her just now, she could sense that Lu Cijian was in a very bad mood now.
Those beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of coldness and absent-mindedness.
Perhaps realizing that someone had been staring at him, Lu Cijian only smiled and looked at Jiang Yimian, “What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?”
Jiang Yimian shook her head, inserted her fingers into his fingers, and then said Seriously, “I want you.”
Lu Cijian was stunned, then curled his lips and stared at the person in front of him, “You heard it all. I’m fine. I’m already used to these words and won’t care.”
He had been through so many years, and he was no longer the Child who would cry and make trouble when he was sad. He had long passed that age.
Moreover, he didn’t think the other party was wrong. He was originally an abandoned person.
He didn’t care.
Jiang Yimian stopped and stared at the person in front of her, frowning in disapproval, “You don’t have to be like this in front of me.
You can be sad, don’t worry that no one will coax you, I will coax you.”
