Chapter 393 Heroine, have mercy!
The maid froze.
A sense of panic welled up inside her, but she dared not look into Lu Yangyang's eyes, afraid that she would notice something amiss.
But she dared not disobey the manager's orders.
The maid's hand trembled slightly as she held the wine cup. Without further hesitation, she brought the cup to her lips and quickly drank it down. She then placed the cup back on the table and poured Lu Yangyang another one.
"Would you like to try some, young lady?"
Lu Yangyang took the wine glass from her hand and drank it in front of her.
Seeing that she had actually drunk the wine, the maid breathed a sigh of relief and served Lu Yangyang food attentively, no longer as reserved and afraid as she had been at the beginning.
However, Lu Yangyang seemed uninterested in the food, only taking a bite before saying it was too awful and spitting it out.
After a while of this, Lu Yangyang was clearly starting to get annoyed.
Seeing her appearance, the maid was completely relieved. She quietly took a few steps back and was about to go out to report the results to the steward when she suddenly felt dizzy. She managed to take a few steps before she couldn't take it anymore and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Seeing this, Lu Yangyang raised her hand to look at the wine she had secretly spat out from her sleeve, then glanced at the food on the table and cursed under her breath, "What a waste."
Then he swept half of the dishes off the table with a loud thud before crashing headfirst onto the table.
Not long after, someone quietly pushed open the door and looked into the room. When they saw that the maid and Lu Yangyang had both collapsed, they hurriedly closed the door and turned to report to the steward.
The steward couldn't help but frown. What kind of maid was she? She even managed to get herself involved!
He waved his hand: "Never mind that, just tie him up and send him to the dungeon. Be careful not to let anyone find out."
His subordinate immediately called for others to come into the house with him.
Seeing Lu Yangyang slumped over the table, two thugs walked over with ropes and quickly tied her hands together.
One of the thugs, seeing Lu Yangyang's face, couldn't help but feel a surge of desire: "Hey, why send such a good piece of trash to the dungeon to benefit those gamblers? Can't we at least have some fun first?"
Another thug kicked him: "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. This is something Second Master ordered. If you mess it up, how many heads do you have to pay for it?"
The lewd thugs immediately fell silent, quickly tied Lu Yangyang's hands and feet with hemp rope, put a sack over her head, and hoisted her onto their shoulders.
No one noticed that Lu Yangyang's fingers, which were stuffed into the sack, moved uncomfortably.
The two men carried Lu Yangyang away from the backyard and quickly boarded the waiting carriage. About half an hour later, the carriage stopped, and the thugs carried Lu Yangyang off the carriage.
After walking for a while, Lu Yangyang heard one of the thugs leading the way say something to someone, and then Lu Yangyang was taken away and led to a set of steps leading down.
Before long, Lu Yangyang heard the clatter of chains and a series of howls.
The door opened, and Lu Yangyang was thrown inside. Tian Dayou, the dungeon's foreman, spoke to those inside.
"Newcomers, greet them and make sure they don't cause trouble."
After he shouted, the cell was quickly locked again.
Lu Yangyang felt the burlap sack covering her body being torn off very quickly.
"Am I seeing things or am I still half asleep? It's a little girl!"
"Get the hell out of my way! I never expected such a good thing in this godforsaken place! We really need to give them a good welcome, look at that little face..."
"Get out of my way! All of you, get out of my way! This is mine!"
"I'll go first, all of you get out of my way!"
The noise instantly erupted, and the manager told them to all go and greet the guests, which meant they could play as much as they wanted!
Even the cells next door started yelling, "Why? Why give them to them! I want them too!"
A groping hand had already landed on Lu Yangyang's waist.
Lu Yangyang opened her eyes with a "whoosh," and there were at least seven or eight pairs of eyes in front of her, all of them so dirty that she couldn't see their faces. No wonder they smelled so bad.
Lu Yangyang frowned in disgust. They really were a bunch of gambling addicts.
"Hey little girl, what's with that expression? Hahaha, now that you're in this place, behave yourself, and we'll give you a good beating later!"
One of the older gamblers, while speaking, reached out his hand lewdly towards Lu Yangyang.
Lu Yangyang rolled her eyes. "You try it."
The gambler was practically drooling: "That's pretty unique, I like it!"
He opened his arms and pounced on Lu Yangyang: "Little beauty, where do you think you're going to run away!"
The moment Lu Yangyang lunged at him, she kicked him away. The gambler was sent flying, crashing heavily against the wall before falling to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The other gamblers stared at the scene in disbelief, momentarily stunned, then immediately reacted. Seven or eight of them pounced on Lu Yangyang at the same time, attempting to subdue her first.
Lu Yangyang opened the ropes binding his wrists, took out the black iron whip from her bosom, and lashed it out.
Seven or eight people were blown away in an instant.
Lu Yangyang glanced around the cell, then at the gamblers sprawled on the floor, lashed her whip across one of them's neck, wrapped it around his neck, and dragged him toward her. "I was going to stall you for a bit, but you're all so disgusting, wasting my time. Now, shut up and tell me, where is this place? The Salt Gang's dungeon? Besides you rotten gamblers, who else is locked up here? And who's in charge?"
"Listen up, if you can answer my questions clearly, I'll spare your life. If you can't answer them clearly, I'll just twist your neck. If you want to try, come here now, and I'll give you a proper burial."
The gambling addicts were completely terrified. Those who can be tricked into gambling are not people with strong wills. The reason they are locked up here is mostly to threaten their families.
As soon as Lu Yangyang lashed out with her whip, someone was terrified: "I'll talk, I'll talk, don't kill me, don't kill me..."
"Speak clearly and stop wasting time! From now on, if anyone utters another word of nonsense, I'll rip out their tongue!" Lu Yangyang said coldly.
"This is the Salt Gang's dungeon. We are all... imprisoned here because we owe Second Master money for gambling. Besides those who owe gambling debts, there are also those who have offended the Salt Gang, embezzled payments, or violated the rules set by the gang leader. We can only leave after we pay off our gambling debts... The dungeon is managed by the Fifth Elder. How to deal with them is up to the gang leader."
"Heroine, that's all I know..."
"Lady, please spare my life, lady, please spare my life!"
Shouts rose and fell, then a reprimand came from afar, "
"What's the fuss about?"
